The report submitted by Postmaster
George l.. Clarke for the quarter end
ing March 81 and the recapitulation Of
the business during the year which ac-
companied it is now in possession Of
the Post Office authorities in Wash
ington. 1t is a document which tells
a tiattering story of Morristown's bust
ness prosperity for the past year, and
bespeakS, as well, the careful man
agement and efficiency of the postmas-
ter and his staff of assistants. Nor
ristown, with but eleven thousand in
habitants, is doing an annual postotiice
business amounting to nearly $50, 900.
The net profit to the government has
been over $4,000. The expenses have
been but about forty per cent. of the
receipts, and this demonstrates that
the postmaster's administration of his
Office has been more economically con-
Quoted than ninety-nine per cent. of
the offices in the United States. Aside
from all this there have been no com
plants of any moment, and the town
as well as the country is subject to
congratulation.

Wednesday, Ann Ford of Elizabeth
celebrated the siXty-seventh anniyer-
sary of her birth by going to Jail
Wednesday for the sixty-seventh
time. A love for liquor has led to
her numerous arrests. In the last
twenty years she has spent three
fourths of the time in the county
Jail, Members of her family, who
are respectable, have found it inn
possible to make her mend her ways.
1t is reported that Vice Chancel-
lor Pitney has had assurances chat
he will be reappointed when his pre-
tent term expires in a few weeks.
The state is to be congratulated.
The Vice Chancellor is one of the
ableSt equity lawyers in the state,
and despite his personal eccentrici-
ties has given New Jersey good SER
vice in the Chancery court. He is
able, just and fearless, and that is the
kind of a man the state needs,
Trenton Times.
If there are no labor troubles this
spring it promises to be one of the
busiest seasons in the building line
in the history of the city. Architects
are at work ON plans for numerous
buildings and contractors are figuring
upon them. If industrial warfare
does not arise there is but little doubt
that every man in the building trades
will be steadily employed all season.
The outlook for prosperous year
was never better Paterson News.

The forwardness Of the present sea-
son is a matter of wonder to all. The
lawns are as green as they usually are
in early May; some farmers have sown
their oats and market gardeners have
peas, radishes and lettuce seed planted
for several weeks. Flower lovers are
putting in sweet peas; crocuses are
out in bloom, hyacinths are getting
ready to bloom and tulips in favorable
locations are three or four inches
above the soil. Buds are coming out
on fruit trees and the softer varieties
of shade trees look as if it would take
only a few more warm days to bring
them out in leaf. A hard freeze would
do a great deal of damage and the
weather for the next two weeks will be
watched with great deal of anxiety

John b. Vreeland of Morristown
retired from five years service as
Judge for Morris County at noon on
Wednesday last. He declined a
rendered reappointment to take up
the active practice of his profession.
Judge Vreeland, as an official held
the respect of every member OF the
bar of this county. He has the con-
fidence of the people of this section
and his determination to leave the
bench takes him from a field of use
fulnesS for which he was both by in
stinct and education peculiarly well
fitted. He was an upright Judge and
one who could turn deaf ear to
political, business, or social influences
when the cause of justice demanded
it, His mind was sensitive to the
pleadings of distress, and the exer-
else of mercy, where that quality
could consistently be shown, was al
ways genuine pleasure. The gen
eral regret over his refusal to accept
a reappointment recently expressed
by the newspapers of all political
colorings is one of the best testimon-
ials to his worth and ability.
Alfred e. Mills, formerly prosecu-
tor of the pleas, has succeeded Judge
Vreeland His training as prosecu-
tor will enable him to bring to bear
an experience which will stand him
in good stead in the administration
of the affairs of the Office to which he
has been elevated. Charles A. Rath-
bun, who succeeds Mr.. Mills as pro-
secutOr is a young man with a
thorough knowledge of the law and
has had considerable experience in
its administration. He has abundant
energy and application. His appoint
ment is fitting tribute to his ability
and worth. The public is assured Of
continuance of the clean and eff
fective work of his predecessor.

refer the Morris canal abandonment
subject to a commission was concur
red in by the house Tuesday. 1t de
veloped that the opposition to the
resolution on Monday night was due
to the fact that it made it possible for
the commission to report at the pres
ent session which was regarded as a
ridiculous proposition.
Mr.. Hillery moved to reconsider
yesterday morning and the motion
was carried and the resolution was
referred to the committee on corpora
tions after Mr.. Boyd had protested
against its going to his committee.
Mr.. Boyd said he had been charged
with all sorts of crimes because he in
PRODUCED bills on the subject under
discussion. He had introduced the
bills at the reqbest of his constituents,
as he was in duty bound to do, and he
was actuated by no improper motives
in performing that duty. He now
washed his hands of the whole matter
except that he would vote ON the
question whenever it came up, but he
would not try to influence the opinion
of members one way or the other.
The bill providing that physicians
shall not be compelled to disclose any
information acquired in attending
patients in any civil action was de-
feated by the house.
WEDNESDAYS SESSION
After the passage of the PasSaic pol
luton bill in the senate Wednesday

noon; For member of the State Board
of Assessors Theodore Strong, of
Middlesex County, to succeed John c.
Rankin jr., who recently died in office;
lOT MOllillOulll DdUule MOiullellu
Commissioners Joseph Yard and
Frederick Parker, of Freehold
The nomination of Senator Strong,
which was at once confirmed in exec
utive session, it was said here to-day
was intended to have the effect of
harmonizing the Republican factions
in Middlesex County, and that the
nomination Of assemblyman William
H. G. jackson for State Senator
would be made by the Republicans
next October.
The primary elections bill, which
was passed with amendments by the
senate this morning, was concurred
in by the House of Assembly, and
was repassed by the senate this after
noon. Governor Murphy will sign the
bill without delay.
Governor Murphy announced to-day
that he had appointed three former
governors of New Jersey, Griggs,
VOORHEES, and Werts, as members of
the Morris Canal Investigating Conn
mission. The announcement was re-
ceived with general appreciation.
The Legislature adjourned sine die
yesterday.

The Hon. William J. Stone of Mis-
souri,, vice-chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, says that
he will favor in the next presidential
convention a platform both progressive
and aggressive, and explains: II
want the Democratic party to get in
the front Of things and lead and be
more than a mere restraining force.
| want it to be an affirmative, sugges-
tive and directing force. Our party
must be distinctively a constructive
force, We must propose things to be
done great things that challenge at
tention, things that promise good to
the country and an increase of ma
tional power and prestige. We must
command the confidence of the great
world of business and enterprise. We
must keep in touch with the spirit of
the age. This is no time for a slow
coach. We must move to the front. .
What Senator Stone would have the
Democratic party become the Repub-
lican party is. We suspect that he
would be good Republican if he Were
from any other State than Missouri.

Mrs Mabel l.. Conkling, speaking
in Brooklyn the other afternoon be-
fore conference of mothers, observed
that THE training Of boys and girls is
not a matter of sex, but of SOUL in
which there is no sex, and God will
require as clean a record of one soul as
of the other, regardless of the garb in
which it is clad" This would be a
better world if all parents would hold
this fact in mind. Indeed, it is ques-
ton whether modern society in judg-
ing men from one moral standard and
women from another is not simply
accepting and emphasizing distinc-
ton which has its inception in the
training of children in too many Of
Our homes

Expressions of surprise followed the
statement of Major General Chaffee
before the Methodist Social Union,
that he never met an intelligent
Chinaman who expressed desire to
become Christian. That is no strang-
er than to expect intelligent Chris
tians to express desires to become
heather or followers of Confucius. 1t
is also far from saying that when the
verities of the Christians faith are
presented to the intelligent China
man, so as to make him feel the con-
viction of their full force, that he
never yields to such convictions and
seeks to become a Christian convert.

The actors in 'McFadden's Row of
Flats were driven from the stage of
the New Star Theatre in New York,
Friday night, by shower of eggs
thrown by Irishmen, indignant at the
manner in which the Irish people were
burlesqued in the farce. The egg
throwers are members of different
Irish societies and their action was
in accordance with suggestion made
by the A. o. II. some time ago, that
the traditional stage Irishman, gross

Wednesday President Roosevelt
started upon an overland journey that
will last two months, include fully A.
900 miles of railroad travel, and touch
twenty-five of the forty-tive States OF
the American Union. Two OF the
Territories will also see the presi-
Dental party.
The calculation is made that the
President will make not less than 100
speeches, an average of about three
a day, and probably the number Will
run above the estimate, if all the adj
dresses delivered at railroad stations,
when short stops are made, be counted
in. Arrangements for the trip have
been made with such care that there
is very little likelihood of any break in
the schedule. The greetings with
which the President will be welcomed
wherever he goes will doubtless be of
the heartiest character.
