GOVERNOR MURPHY.

Franklin Murphy, who was inau-
gurated as governor on Tuesday, is
the first business man to hold that
office in long term Of wears. Most
of the occupants of tho Governor s
chair having been lawyers. Ellis in
augural address manifests therefore a
thorough knowledge .of business me-
thods and also the wisdom that comes
from large experience in public
affairs. Among the practical matters
he touches on are the pollution of the
Passalc, the State election law, recon-
mending voting machines, Fprimary
election law, the reorganization of
the National Guard, and State
Hospital for the consumptive poor.
indicating with financial matters he
calls attention to the fact that the
State surplus has for sometime aggre-
gated 80, 1876, 900. This money has been
deposited in number Of banks
throughout the state and they have
kept it safely, but have paid no in
terest. The governor suggests that
at least per cent. should have been
paid for the use Of this money and
reference to our advertising columns
will show show that two of our Morris
town banks are ready to pay per
cent for it.

BILLS REQUIRED FOR LOCAL SEWERS

It will be necessary that two bills
be passed by the present legislature
before Morristown can adopt a sewer
system. The first will be to again
pass the bill dividing Morristown
into wards so as to cure the defect in
previous legislation, Morristown hav-
ing since been declared by the Court
Of Errors town and not city. A
second bill will be necessary authoriz.
ing the town to permit the laying of
sewers in it's streets, to connect with
the trunk sewer and also to provide
means for raising money by issuing
bonds, for the payment Of the install
lation of such system.
The special committee from the
Board Of Aldermen on sewers are
having such bills prepared and they
will present them to the Legislature
at an early date. We trust that the
legislation to be asked for will pro-
vide that the work of establishing
such a system in Morristown shall he
in the hands of non-partisan Board
of Commissioners. This is at least
one instance in which politics must
be altogether ignored

ABOUT HAckErTsTowN

Perhaps no town in the State can
better sympathize with Hackettstown
in it's present trouble than Morris
town. True we had not as many
cases Of smallpox as the latter town,
but we had a sufficient number to
cause irresponsible newspaper writers
to send out columns of stuff concern
ing the disease In most instances
the stories were made out of whole
cloth. OF course the stories were
copied by papers in New York, Brook
lyn and Philadelphia, and Morristown
has suffered severely from these un-
just attacks. AS to Hackettstown, the
dread disease which is proving so SER
ious menace to the whole town was
contracted in Newark. Comparing
the disease in Hackettstown with the
great number of cases in Newark, New
York and Philadelphia, the Hacketts-
town Gazette aptly says:
1t is aswell known fact that in all
the large Cities. to which all OF the
best trade Of the smaller towns and
villages go, smallpox lis and for
months has been epidemic. Late in
the summer the State Board of Health
called public attention to conditions
that must result in widespread prev
alence of this dread disease unless un-
usual precautionary and sanitary
measures were adopted. The caution
went unheeded and the result is the
epidemic that is sweeping like
scourge over this and adjoining
States.
The risk of people coming to Hack
ettstown and mingling freely with
our people is as nothing compared
with the risk of visiting any of the
larger places we have named. Here
every case is marked and every person
who has associated with the afflicted
is either under strict quarantine or
careful surveillance. There bias
already been such sanitary cleaning
up as no other town in the State has
hAOWA JUdAS. LhOAO 10 lhOiO uhh-
ger in five minutes in the crowded
thoroughfares and shops of our cities
than there is in weeks in Hacketts-
town.
We agree with Editor Rittenhouse
in the above, excepting as to his state
ment that no other town in the State
has known such sanitary cleaning
in years as Haokettstown. 1--WE think
Morristown at least had a thorough
going over two years since, and that
it is being we'll cared for along health
lines at the present time, the preva-
lenoe of smallpox all around it, and
not single case here is good evidence
as to the thoroughness of the work of
vaccination, which is after all, the
best safeguard.

Essex County has a perfect right to
be proud of many of her citizens, but

cityiin the line of march.
Mr.. Salmon has recently been as
signed the position of official steno-
grspher for Vice Chancellor Pitney,

in this county, where his family are
of cid and prominent standing and
where he resided until he went to
Newark.

Gov. Odell, of New York, has re-
moved Samuel Caldwell, Sheriff of
Erie County, because that official
failed to perform his duty in suppress
sing notorious gambling room after
his attention had been called to it re-
peatedly. The Governor aptly says
commenting on the case, "There are
but few laws in our state which
should be more vigorously enforced
than those against gambling, because
it is too often the beginning of the
downfall of men holding responsible
judicial positions.
Mr.. Schwah, president of the Steel
Trust, who, it is currently reported
has been" bucking the tiger" at Monte
Carlo, should bear in mind that his
example is most pernioious one, and
stockholders in his company, il
would seem will do considerable
thinking when they realize that they
have a gambler at its head.
