EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The saloon men of New Brunswick
have caught a Tartar in tho new
prosecutor, George Berdine. Most oil
the saloons in that town keep wide
open side doors on Sundays, and ther.
is no place In the State where sc
many drunken men are seen on the
streets on that day. 1t is believed
that the local democratic machine
plays a sort OF small Tammany game
with these law breakers and gives a
tip to the police to shut their eyes
to the sidedoor business. Prosecutor
Berdine paid a visit too the police
headquarters some days ago, and the
officers are said to Lave had a very
bad half-hour with him. The pros
ecutor is Il man of great energy OF
character, and he gave the force
plainly to understand that he did not
intend to act as a policeman himself,
but should insist upon the officers do
ing their full duty. Trenton in N.
l. = ilCld1u'
Trenton's floating debt is sho wn by
the city treasurer to be q little more
than $500, 900. To fix the amount
of the proposed bond issue there
shonld be deducted from this such
delinquent taxes as are collectible.
1t is likely that the bond issue will be
near 800, 900, making the total bonded
indebtedness of the city about $4, 500,-
90, less the amount now in the Sink
ing Fund. Trenton Times.
At every Republican meeting or
convention held so far in this Presi-
Dental campaign has been manifested
pride and confidence in Theodore
Roosevelt which shows that he is near
to the people, and all the Democratic
talk about a lack of loyalty to Roose-
welt is nonsense. When the campaign
is fairly under way'it will ssbe found
that the great mass of the people are
for Roosevelt and that his majority
will be the largest eve cast for a
President. Jersey City Journal.

Strike situation at New Haven.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April &C.
There have been no accessions to the
ranks of the striking employees in the
shops of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad company, and
there was no demonstration on the
part of che strikers or their sympathiz-
ers who are not on strike. The ma
chinists, who were thought to be pre-
pairing to go out, are ut work, but none
will say that they will not ultimate
ly join the boilermakers, because it is
feared complications may rise about
the point of nonunion employees being
at work in the same shops with the
union machinists and steam filters.

The movement on foot to pave Mad
son avenue is encouraging. That
thoroughfare is one of the finest in
the city, being both straight and wide
and is destined to be one OF the main
arteries from the business section to
tho water front. Within a year or
two Madison avenue, between Smith
and New Brunswick avenue, will be
built I'M with business houses. A
pavement will hasten this building
and will not only attract buyers for
the rcal estate, but will increase the
value. Merchants will want to do
Business there because it is clean and
shoppers will BIO glad to make their
purchases there. A pavement is a
big asset to any street and the proper
ty owners along Madison avenue will
nuke no mistake in signing the petit
tiol. Tho value of their property
will, within q short time, be increased
beyond the amount of assessment.

MAY BUILD NO MORE
Great Battleships Soon to Be-
come Obsolete.
SUBMARINES WILL TAKE THEIR PLACE
RussO-Japnnese War Has Demon
strated That Lofty Wnrships Once
Hurt Can Fight No Longer and
EntOmb Their Crews.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Whethel
the president shall order the construc-
ton of the battleship provided for in
the naval appropriation bill or wait UNI
til the wal in the far east demonstrates
the comparative utility of the big sea
fighter and the torpedo boat or subma-
rine craft. was Il question raised in the
senate by Mr.. Hale of Maine on the
adoption of the conference report. 1t
was developed that the language of the
bill was permiSSive and that the presi-
dent and secretary of the navy could
defer action if they deem it advisable.
Mr.. Hale declared that if he were
secretary of the navy he should not
dare to GO on now and commit the gov
eminent to the building of an immense
battleship, for it would not surprise
him if events of the Observation-Disclosures
wal demonstrated that the $3.50, 100000
paid for big battleships were a bad in
vestment for this government. Several
other senators counseled delay.
Senator Hale said:
"Under the light of events in the
east and the very remarkable develop
ments in naval warfare, if the matter
had been open l should certainly have
been in favor of striking out of the bill
the provision for the battleship. l may
say that if l were secretary of the
navy in the present condition l should
not dare to go on and commit the gov
ernment to the building of another
immense battleship costing $S,000,000.
1.-THE trouble with the great, i'm
mense, lofty battleship, which does
not look like a ship, but a great FORTH
cation, is that when she is hurt she
can fight no longer. Other structures
may be hurt, may be splintered, may
be damaged, but they keep on fighting.
"But if an explosion takes place
through hurried firing in a turret it is
more than likely to ignite the maya
zine, and the whole ship is blown into
the air and everybody killed.
aside from occurrences in the east,
where large Russian battleships have
been disabled and put out of service,
we have had three explosions on our
own battleships within a year-on the
Iowa, Massachusetts and Missouri"
Senator Stewart said the battleship
would soon be an engine of the past,
and submarine craft will take it's place..

Captain jennings.
NEW YORK, April 26.-Frank Nc
Namara, who shot and killed Captain
George II. Jennings, president of the
Jennings Adjustable Shade company
of Brooklyn, pleaded guilty to murder
in the first degree when arraigned for
trial here. He will be sentenced to
Sing Sing for life next Monday.
Henry Il. Cook, secretary and treas
urer Of the Fahys Watch Case com
pany, Chicago, where Mcnamara was
employed as assistant foreman for fif-
teen years, charged Mcnamara with
having stolen $1,000 worth of gold
from the factory during the last three
years of his employment. He gathered
the sweepings from the floor and sold
them to Il Chicago jewelry firm. For
his last theft Mcnamara received a
draft for $4,000. He was then in
Brooklyn and induced Captain Jen-
nings, who knew of nothing wrong in
the matter, to allow the draft to be de-
posted to his account in the Borough
bank. II WAS then agreed that McNa-
mara should withdraw the money In
sums of $500. Eater Jennings discov-
cred how Mcnamara obtained the
money and refused to let him have
any more of it until he had obtained Il
release from the Fahys company.
McNamara then made up his mind to
KIN Jennings and did so when he next
visited Brooklyn. Jennings was for
'Herly an officer in the Fourteenth regi-
mont.
