xEw.JERSEYs NEXT GOVERNOR.

Edward Casper Stokes. unanimously choSen
bv tbe Republicans Of New-Jersey as thelI can
didate for Governor, has been notaole nsUe
since he first appeared in State politics as
member of the Assembly, thirteen years asO.
After two years service in the lower mousse Oh
the legislature he was promoted 70 Ine 0Iauo
Senate and his constituents kept him there for
nine wears. Three years ago he was appOlhteu
clerk in chancery.
The legislative career Of Mr.. Stokes covers the
stormy neriod which marked the passing or
Nevr-Jersev from the Democratic into the Re
publican column He helped fight against the
Coal Combination bill which debauched De-
mocracv pushed through the legislature IN spite
Of public sentiment, and he was forceful ana
eloquent opponent of the infamous racetrack
bills. The passage of those bills intiamed the
whole State, and Republican legislature was
the result Of the next election. But the pur-
blind Democratic mercenaries didn't know
enough to quit; they attempted to block the
legislative machine and thus prevent the repeal
Of the racetrack legislation. but the Supreme
Court finally convinced them that In q Senate OF
twenty-One members eleven count more than
ten.
All through those days Mr.. Stokes was honor
ably conspicuous. He was on deck all the time
exhorting. advising, fighting. He stood firmly
and fearlessly for the right, and would listen
to no suggestion Of alliance or compromise with
the forces Of evil. Now he has reaped his re-
ward in an unopposed nomination for the high
est office in the State. His personal integrity
has never been questioned. and his private life
Is blameless. Though slight Of physique, he is
intellectually robust If elected Governor, he
will undoubtedly add new distinction to fine

George Raines. chairman Of the COMMITTEES on

who yesterday reported the platform OF the
professed safe and sane Democracy, Is the
same George Raines who. as chairman Of the
committee on resolutions Of the Democratic
State Convention Of 1902. reported the platform
demanding the national government ownership
and operation Of the anthracite coal mines. Can
the leopard change his spots?
The most careful examination Of the Sara
toga convention fails to reveal the figure Of
David B. Hill retiring in the distance as a
leader. Instead Mr.. Hill was very much In evil
dence at the front-so much so that he OBJ
scured the convention.
Isn't the Democracy overworking the judicial
and judicious" idea in naming candidates for
public office?
The digging Of bitches for the extirpation OF
mosquitoes in a neighboring State has appar-
emily been by no means successful In extermi-
mating the insects. But autumn chllls and
frosts are now not far away, and relief from the
pests will be general weeks IN advance OF the
Indian summer.

A Piano Holocaust.

1t is announced that piano dealers
and manufacturers are planning TO get
together all the old fashioned square
pianos in the country that they can
one thousand is the chosen number
pile them up on the beach at Atlantic
City this week and make a gigantic
bonfire as spectacular feature of the
convention of the National Association
of Piano Dealers and Piano Manufact-
urers, which will assemble at that
place The mayor has given his con
sent to the cOntlagration, and police
and fremen will be on hand to prev
ent spread of the fire beyond the pile
of pianos TO the utilitarian mind the
idea il suggested that the valuable ma
hogany and rosewood in the old pianos
could be used to better purpose, or that
the superaunuated pianos which new
er styles have made unmarketl bic
might be distributed among "hOmes'
and other charitable institutions of
the country. among the schools Of COM
munities which are scant of pecuniary
resources. There are hundreds of
school districts and "homes, etc,
where money could be raised to pay
the freight on piano if it cost moth
ing. though the Instrument was out of
style. The tone and music from some
OF the old squares are quite as good
and sweet as those of the modern grand
or upright.
One manufacturer is quoted as say
ing: "Old- fashioned square pianos
are now a drug OH the market. Their
manufacture ceased 20 years ago. Fami-
lies who have them prize them for
their associations, but when they come
to US for a modern piano and offer
them to US as part of the dicker they
get insulted at the price we offer for
them. Then if we do take them they
Just lie around the store. So we're go
ing to bum 'em up. They'll look
pretty at night.
Square pianos were in style for just
about a century up to 1880, and they
had a great vogue. 1t was upon the
square" that Jenny Lind practiced
and was accompanied, that many of
our favorite songs of the tifties and
sixties were composed, but style has
pushed them into the lumber room,
and the upright, grand and baby grand
have taken their places. The day may
come, when the old style square, like
some of the old costumes, will come
into fashion again.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
Files EXCEPTIONS

Attorney General Carson, acting III
behalf of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania filed exceptions to the report
of the viewers recommending the re-
building of the Catawissa bridge over
the North branch of the Susquehanna
river.
The Attorney General takes the posi-
tion that it does not come within the
Act of Assembly of June 1895 which
provides for the building of bridges by
the state. That the destruction of the
bridges was only partial, inasmuch as
the original bridge contained tour
spans and only two were carried
away. Another objection raised by
the Attorney General is that the re.
port of the viewers recommends the
construction of an entirely new struc
ture with clear roadway of twenty
four feet, with foot walk on each
side, six feet in width, while the old
bridge was but twenty feet wide and
had no sidewalks. The Attorney Gen
eral also states that the bridge is larg-
er than the necessities of travel re-
quire.
Another objection to the report is,
that the report provides that the truss
Of the bridge should be of sufficient
strength and proportion to carry a
single track trolley line. Mr.. Carson
takes the position that the state should
not be required to build bridge for
the benefit Of a private corporation.

Divorce Problem Before Presbyterians

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 23.-At
the General Assembly of the Presby
terian church of the United States to-
day. the special committee on marri-
age and divorce made its report and
submitted the following recommends
tion for the consideration and action
of the general assembly.
1.-The general assembly again en-
joins all ministers under its care and
authority to refuse to perform the mar
riage ceremony in the cases of divorc-
ed persons, except as such persons have
been divorced upon grounds and for
causes recognized as scriptural in the
standards of our church.
Recognizing the comfy which
should exist between Christian church
es, and believing that il would be de-
sirable and tend TO the increase of
spirit and Christian unity, we earnest
ly advise all the ministers under the
care and authority of this general as
sembly to refuse to unite in marriage
any person or persons whose marriage
such ministers have good reason to be-
lieve is forbidden. by the laws of the
church in which such person, or per-
sons, seeking to be married may hold
membership.
THE appeal and address to the inter
church conference is hereby indorsed
by this general assembly, and com.
meuded to the consideration of all our
ministers and congregations The stat
ed clerk is instructed to issue it in
such form and to such extent as may
seem desirable and expedient and it is
req Tested that it be read by pastors
from their pulpits on some appropriate
sabbath. -
The stated clerk is directed to call
the special attention of Presbyteries
to the action of the general assembly
with the view to securing the endorse
ment of existing laws and obedience
to the injunotions of the general as
sembly. The committee on marriage
and divorce is continued and instruct
ed Ito cooperate with the representa-
tives of other churches in endeavoring
to obtain such ecclesiastical unity, and
such State or national legislation as
may shield both church and State from
existing and impending perils ;"
The committee is working with com
mittees of thirteen other denomina-
tions, all of which form the inter
church conference on marriage and
divorce which recently issued an APP
peal to the Christian public.
