, Some strikers barred.

The FIRST witness called by the strike
commission today was Gilbert Jones, one
of the assistant mine superintendents Of
the Temple Iron company. He denied POSI-
lively that a blacklist existed at the COM
pany's collieries.
On cross-examination he admitted issu-
Ing orders to the foremen OF coll
lieries over which he had supervision
not to employ as miners any Of the men
who we're on strike at the Maltby col
liery OF the Lehigh Valley company. These
men struck before the general suspension
was insugurated.
George L. Houger OF Scranton, auditor
Of the Temple Iron company, presented
statements relative to wages. These
contained a statement Of the earn
ings Of the men for 1901 and the
earnings Of the contract miners and labor
ers. The Temple Iron company employed
77e company men, whose average earnings
in 1901 were s1,5s9 a day. The company
had no company stores.
The Temple Iron company then rested
its case and the Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany proceeded to call witnesses.

Theatrical Notes.

Academy of Music, New York, Frank

stars on Broadway, he has never be-
fore had an offering that yielded him
such rich returns as has miss Sim

the fact that he has used this piece
exclusively for two years is another

The East Orange Gazette has
sound views on the subject of
street sprinkling at public expense.
The argument used in the Oranges
applies with equal force to Morris
town. The question of munich
pal street sprinkling should be
taken up by the Board of Alder
men, the Board of Trade, or any
body which has influence with the
powers that be. The argument
that it cannot legally be done in
this city is not worthy of considera-
ton, as that which the people OF
any community desires to have
done with its streets can be ac-
complished. There is no ques-
ton that keeping the streets wet
adds greatly to the lasting quality
Of the pavement, and saves a con-
siderable outlay in repairs. The
abolition Of dust contributes moi
only to the comfort, but to the
health Of the community, and
anything that adds to the comfort
or healthfulness of life in Morris
town adds to the attractiveness tc
strangers and brings people here tc
settle. The desirability Of street
sprinkling is unquestioned, and
the only argument possible seem:

Political life in Dover is of the
strenuous order and party lines
there are sharply drawn. Any
thing labeled with the democratic
brand is indigestible to republicans,
and the reverse of that also seems
to be true. The latest bone of
contention was furnished by the
recently elected common council,
republican in color, which named
a collector, assessor and clerk to
succeed democrats whose terms Of
Office, according to all republican
figuring, should have expired this
year. Some two years ago the
republican office holders were in
duced to vacate these offices by
the democratic majority which had
secured control of municipal af
fairs. The inducements offered
at that time were not palatable to
the republican managers but the
office holders vacated in Difference
to the principle of to the victors
belong the spoils. In 1900 through
the efforts of Senator Mahlon
Pitney a law was enacted which
made appointments of the char
acter above mentioned for terms
of three years. Under the pro-
visions of this act the republicans
of Dover claim that the democrats
named for the offices of Clerk,
Assessor and Collector by the
common council of 1901 were ap-
pointed merely to fill vacancies and
that therefore their official exist
ence terminated in the spring of
the present year. The democrats
of the town whose tendencies are
of the Kilkenny cat order, decline
to accept republican Interpretation
of the law as gospel, and aver
that under the law as laid down in
the Pitney act the appointments of
the democratic Clerk, Assessor
and Collector holds good for term
of three years. Monday night the
council named three republicans to
fill the Offices. The three demo-
Gratis, true to tradition, refused to
vacate They refused also to turn
over their books to the men named
as their successors. The COM
mon council decline to recognize
the official existence of any officers
other than those named by them
at their regular session Monday
night. Hence there is an official
dead lock in first class working
condition in Dover. Wednesday
morning Justice Garretson, in Su-
preme Court in Morristown, issued
a Rule to Show Cause why a
mandamus should not issue in the
matter for final adjustment. This
is returnable on Monday, June I,
and the arguments will then be
made by the attorneys represent
ing the interests of both the demo
cratic and republican office holders.
Until that date town affairs will
be interestingly inactive in Dover.

of Hawaii has been done on less than

held that there was not more than
$500, 900 free circulating medium in the
Territory A conservative estimate is
81 ,000 900. In the midst of the hard
times the Attorney General is pur-
portedly approached on proposition
to pay over to his department nearly
one-tenth the estimated circulating
medium in the Territory for merely
failing to prosecute gambling cases in
the courts.
This is astounding. The more one
studies it the more impressive the
proposition becomes. What wonder
that Attorney General Andrews could
no longer remain pent up in the con-
fines of stuffy wardrobe with press
