man. In the second place. l feel the
necessity of rest and | am going to
take one. In the third place, am not

ed of Mr.. Schwab.
Yes" he replied, but don't ask me
any more questions; that's all I have
to say"
George w. Perkins, of ]. P. Morgan
G Co., said: "Mr. Schwab is not seri-
ously ill, and the stories printed about
his resignation from the presidency of
the United States Steel Corporation
are almost too silly to be noticed. He
is not going to resign. no one has even
thought of asking him to resign, Meth
er does any one want him to resign.
He will attend several business meet
ings before sailing for an extended trip
to Europe, as his been his custom for
many years past. Mr.. Schwab has the
confidence of every member of the
Steel Corporation, and perfect harmony
prevails among all the officials and di-

There seems to be an unusual number OF
defaulcations in New Jersey at present,
Following close on the exposure OF the
loose methods of Treasurer Fry, of a
Camden Loan Association, comes the flight
of County Collector VIM. o. Garrison, OF
Cumberland, with shortage OF upwards
of $25, 900 of county funds, and now the
stockholders of the Passaic Loan Assocla-
tion are face to face with the fact that their
treasurer has looted the Association, his
regulations extending over period OF
many wears. We know of no mitigating
circumstances in any of these cases. ThelI
acts were committed with calm delibera-
tion. and while swift and even handed JUS
t;ce NAV he meeted out to these thieves,
vet nothing can be done to avert the suffer
inc and loss to hundreds of innocent and
confiding people whose years OF economy
and personal sacrifice have gone for naught
These men do more than rob their en-
Movers and the public, they destroy busi
ness confidence, they wreck the foundation
Of all business tranctions, because it goes
without saying that confidence in human
rectitude and stability of character are the
real foundations of successful business.
while if is true, and we would further i'm
press the point, that the people should not
;,doe the thousands of faithful servants by
che few peculators who occasionally appear
- mar the surface of the business world,
=. +ba faithful ones must insist on more
r;o;d examination of accounts, and those
charged with oversight must make more
,reonent and searching investigation of all
public and private trusts.

By way of Camden, the name of Col. G.
G. Green, of this city, is mentioned in con-
nection with the Democratic Congressional
nomination. We don't imagine that Col.
Green has been consulted in the connec-
ton, yet from public standpoint his name
is worthy of serious consideration. G. l.
Green is staunch Democrat, man of wide
business experience and keen perceptions,
and if he should consent to deny himself
the leisure he has earned by years of hard
work, he would be entitled, and would re-
ceive the solid support of his own
county in the Convention.

The New Jersey Bureau of Statistics,
which has been wasting much time and
money in getting up incomplete statistics
about wages paid, might devote month or
two to ascertaining what has been the per-
centage of increase in the cost of living
during the past five years-how much more
it costs to shelter, feed and clothe family.
That will furnish the true test of protec-
tion, and that alone. True American.

Shenandoah coal regions; that ''it is a
veritable hell-hole," and "the most God
forsaken country have ever SEEM" which
canses one of his critics to reply: "There is
ground for more than suspicion that they
are there because they were recruited by
agents of the coal barons and imported in
violation of our contract labor laws"
