The state Schools Close Successful Term

The State Schools Close Successful Term.
The New Jersey State Normal and Model
Schools at Trenton have had one of the
most successful years of their history. The
enrolment of the Normal School was sos.
About seyenty-fve per cent. of these were
graduates of high schools Of four years
courses before entering the Normal.
twenty-five per cent. represented those
coming from the uraI county and town
districts and taking the longer courses at
the Normal. The Normal School has been
unable to meet the demands for its gradu-
ates as teachers The class graduated in
February were practically all engaged be-
fore the middle of that month, and more
than half the class graduated in June were
engaged before they received their diplo-
mas. The salaries received were in adj
vance of those of previous years, ranging
from S45 to SIS per month. The Normal
School has felt an increased demand for
male teachers. 1t has already filed with its
graduates many of the prominent prinei-
palships and supertendencies of the State at
salaries ranging from 81 200 to 81, 500 It
feels that the demand is such as to encour-
age young men to take up the work Of
teaching, the work offering even a financial
advantage to many young men, especially
those from the more rural sections, and a
professional advantage to still many more.
The enrolment in the Model was $50.
This school has graduated one Of the largest
classes in its history, class numbering
nearly 40. "A great majority Of these stud
ents enter upon the college courses, being
represented in nearly all of the leading
Eastern colleges, both for men and women.
The strength these students have shown
in their college entrance examinations,
where examinations have been required
was complimentary. The certificate of the
school is received for admission in all of the
colleges that accept certificates from any
school. The prospects Of the schools for
the coming year are very fattering A large,
new dormitory is under process of con-
struction. The buildings during the SUM
mer are to be put in first class repair, and
every arrangement made that the schools
shall offer not only high class Of profes-
sional education for teachers but also In
the Model an academic training for thoAe
desiring tos enter the higher professional
schools. thaflis second to none.

Chas c. Black, of Hudson county, is now
much talked of as candidate for the
Democratic Gubernatorial nomination this
Fall. There seemed to be so honest a senti-
ment favoring the selection of South Jer-
seynan for this Office that the plains began
to swarm with available timber If South
Jersey is to enter the nomination contest
for this Office with a ghost of possibility
Of success, we must do so united on one
candidate, otherwise North Jersey will
have no scruples about walking off with
the prize. Gloucester county's candidate,
Senator Thos. M. Terrell, was first in the
field, and his candidacy found hearty
second from many North Jersey counties;
then Camden came in the field with Judge
Carlow and Mayor Nowrey, and now Hud-
son has candidate. 1t requires no prophet
to name the next Democratic candidate for
Governor with South Jerseys strength
divided into three camps. As sensible men,
South Jersey Democrats should get together,
agree on one candidate, and give him loyal
support. If defeat comes under such cir
cumstances our lack Of strength, not our
Judgment and fidelity will be to blame.
We hope our leaders will take heed of the
times, get together, and give South Jersey Is
votes in Convention to South Jersey man.
The people are ready to second such a
movement with all their might.

Presidents come and Presidents 60, but
the Republican party remains to work out
its great principles was ex7Secretary Roots
excuse for the swallowing Of Roosevelt
But the trouble is that while Roosevelt
came, Roosevelt will not go; and it is i'm
possible for the party to swallow Roosevelt
because Roosevelt has already swallowed
the party, and with it the government. He
is the only Republican on earth; he has
pushed aside. every movable theory Of the
party to force his own views of how the
party should be managed; he has ignored
the House Of Representatives; he has (under
Secretary Roots suggestion destroy the
power the Senate to join in and consent to
appointments; he has set up new tribunals
for the settlement Of questions involving
personal rights; be has forced the government
into the unrepublican process Of fomenting
secession and destroying a sister republic;
he pledged the credit and has given the
money Of the United States to the formation
of enterprise outside of the limits of our
country; he has assumed the swager of a
bully toward foreign nations, which he has
reoanted when the victim was big enough
to resent it.
And when his denomination and re-elect-
ion are suggested as an evidence that the
Republican party can outlive this sort of
deviltry and tom-fooIery it is ouly another
way Of saying that the country may better
waive the blessings Of Republican control,
than face the evident danger Of endorsing
its submission to the personal rule Of a reck-
less-adventurer. True American.

OF course, all the Republican leaders say
that their ticket is so intensely popular
that it cannot be beaten They have to
say that. Very likely they believe it.
When Democratic ticket shall be nomin-
ated all the leaders Of that party will de-

ity that the ticket is SO strong that victory
is assured What ticket could have been
more popular than thatof Blame and Logan

NEW TAX LAW GOES
INTO EFFECT FRIDAY
OPEN ASSESSMENT LISTS

The state board Of taxation is calling at
tention to the fact that the last legislature
passed an act requiring tax collectors of all
municipalities in the state to begin proceed
ings for the sale of lands on which the taxes
for the Proceedings year are unpaid. The
new law becomes effective July /.
Under the old act it was necessary for
municipal bodies to Issue warrants for the
sale IF lands bearing delinquent taxes, and
the original owners had twenty years in
which to redeem the lands so sold. This
made it Improbable and risky for any one
but the municipal authorities to pay the tax
on the lands, and so secure them.
The new act makes RADICAL change,
and provides that persons buying the land
under conditions mentioned may proceed
after two years to sue in the court of chan
Gerry for a settlement or deed
For several years past bills haye been
presented in the legislature providing for
the publication Of the assessment lists so as
to enable the taxpayers to compare their
assessments with Others. The new act pro-
vides that assessors must f'e copy of the
assessments with the clerk Of the municipal
ity, and this list must be kept.open at ali
times for inspection by taxpayers.
Thomas B Usher, secretary of the state
board of taxation, stated yesterday that it
is expected this provision will be the means
Of remedying inequalities, because, as a
rule, under the old act, assessors have re-
fused access to their books and denied citi-
zens the privilege of examining their asses
ments.

 Washington. Feb. 16.-The rebels in Santo Domingo have committed another
 breach of international law, which, add
 ed to those preceding, are making up a formidable case that may justify the United States government intervening to restore order and protect the proper ty in the distracted island. To-day
 Minister Powell reported to the vice consular agent at Samana, dated Feb ruarv g. to this effect:
 Insurgents entered our consulate at Samana with armed force and took two refugees out.
 The state department promptly com
 municated this information to the navy department with a. request that proper action be taken by naval authorities to protect the United States consuate. This was promptly transmitted to Admiral Wise and it is the belief that he will demand the punishment of the perpetra- tors of this outrage, and if the pro- visional government is not able to do this. he will employ the United States naval force to chastise the insurgents.

 St. Petersburg, Feb. 16.-Lieutenant- General Ivanoff. governor-general and commander of the troops in Turkestan, has gone to Tashkend with General Sakharoff, chief of the staff of the mil- itary district of Turkestan. It is said in high military circles here that Gen. eral Ivanoff has been instructed to pre- pare for the contingency of military action in the direction of India in the event of Great Britain adopting an atti- tude openly hostile to Russia or at tempting to prejudice Russian interests in Persia or Thibet.
 Public opinion in Russia, even among military men, is strongly opposed to Viceroy Alexieff, who is accused of in capacity. A movement is on foot in favor of the immediate appointment of General Kuropatkin, the war minister, to command the Russian land forces and to give Admiral Skrydloff command on the sea.

"FIGHTING vIo4Rn AGAIN
Ready to Write to Bishop Potter Against

New York, Feb. 1.-The Rev. R. c. Fillingham, the lighting Vicar of Hexton, England, arrived to-day on the steamer Ivernia. He declared he would write another letter to Bishop Potter calling on him to be true to his VOWS and stop the use of 'idolatry'' in the churches in his charge. He made it plain that he was not courting arrest, and that while he would protest he would probably create no disturbances. This visit, he said, was for the opening of his campaign, the getting together of committee. and for a course of lec- tyres to educate the public. The real campaign will come in the fall. He said:
 T have come here to begin my fight against idolatry in the Protestant church and to protest against the con- secrated wafer and the other stolen rit- uals used by some of the so-ralled Christian churches in this country"
