AT the national and international
good roads convention in st. Louis last
week the principal speaker was Gene
raj Nelson A. Miles, who declared him
self thoroughly in sympathy with the
movement for better roads, and made
some interesting suggestions. Among
them, he recommended that 5000 men
in the army be used in times of peace
as an engineering corps to locate the
best and most feasible roads, and CO.
operate with the surveyors of various
States. He said that the government
would be vastly benefited by such a
plan when it became necessary to use
such roads. The preliminary work Of
surveying could be done by the army,
and the work then left to the State to
be carried to completion and the gene
raj Of the army to have control.

THE COMING GOVERNOR.

On page ATT Of Fitzgerald's Legisla-
tive Manual for this year there is a
table showing that the Republican
plurality on the Assembly vote was
2S,5S1 last November. The plurality
will undoubtedly be much larger next
November, because this is presidential
year and all Republicans vote for pres
ident. 1t is not unreasonable to ex-
pect that the Republican plurality for
1904 will be $4,000, and these Republic
cans have but one candidate for COVER
nor. They have not made the nomin-
alton yet, because it is not time to do
so, but every one of them has made up
his mind who the candidate will be
and the nominating convention will
meet, not to select candidate, but to
indorse the will of the people, that is
of large majority of the people.
The opposition has been unable to
find a candidate so far. More than
forty have been named in connection
with the nomination, but each in turn
has made light of it and went his
way, one to his farm, another to his
merchandise, and none will accept the
invitation.
When the time comes that Demo
cratic nomination must be made it
will be done simply to conform to Gus
tom, because about September in each
third year somebody must be named
to head the State ticket. There will
be neither hope nor intention Of select
ing a governor. twill be candidate,
Only this and nothing more.
The people have selected the next
governor and any man in the State car
name him offhand.

THE discoveries Of science have be-
come so marvellous as to be almost be-
yond belief. The latest scientific
demonstration was reported a few days
ago when Signor Marconi said that in
a voyage across the Atlantic on the
Campania the ship had been in
constant communication with one OF
the two land stations from the day
she sailed until she reached the bar.
This is the first time in the history OF
transatlantic traffic that a vessel has
been able to receive news from either
England or America every day Of her
trip. For a while in the middle of the
Atlantic the inventor was able to talk
with both sides of the ocean at once.

feature Of the Cunard line Of steam
ships.

THE Rockaway Record" says that
"no one has accused the Banner of
being Democratic. For the sake of
the truth Of history we must dissent.
The statement might have been true
a few weeks ago, but just before the
last corporation election, when it was
question with the leaders Of that
party here where they were coming
out, and every influence no matterhow
weak had better be for them than
against them, the most astute and
suave politician of that party took the
contract Of getting that organ in line.
Although the full invoice of goods was
not delivered the price was paid all
right although some of the city fathers
had before said ''neyer! neverl" Until
furthernotice, therefore, the Banner"
may be considered the organ of the
party here.

THE final Republican State conven-

publican National Convention we're
held last week. State conventions
were held in Arkansas, California,
Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska,
New Hampshire, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Ohio, Wisconsin and
Wyoming. These and many district
conventions were held last week swell
the list of delegates instructed for
President Roosevelt to 766, as against
628 a week ago. The uninstructed list
stands 20s, as against 1874 last week.
The uninstructed delegates favor the
Presidents nomination. The Demo-
Gratis have elected 4s4 delegates, Of
whom 100 favor Parker and lis favor
Hearst. Democratic State and Terri
torial conventions viii be held this
week in Alabama, Arizona, Maryland,

SOME of the Democrats are Begin
ming to be exercised over the suspicion
that the Populists in 1904 will support
Roosevelt instead of the Democratic
candidate, as there are indications that
some of the Populist leaders are in
lclined that way. 1t is safe toconclude
that lots of old-time Populists as well
as lots of old-time Democrats will sup
port the Republican candidate in the
coming campaign. Throughout the
West there is a general disintegration
Of party forces when Roosevelt is the
issue as his administration and per-
sonality are particularly pleasing to
them. He will carry the West by an
immense majority and every Eastern
State that has given Republican ma
jorities in recent years will do still bet
ter this year. This is going to be a
great year for the Republican party
and for the great American nation.

THE confidence Of the world in ths

The confidence of the world in the
financial policy of this country is shown
by number of large financial opera
tiOns that have taken place recently.
The United States has just paid out
$40 600, 900 on account of the Panama
canal. Russia is floating a loan for
from S150,0O0,O0O to 5000, 100000, and
some of the money is being put up by
the United States. More than half of
Japan's 500, 100000 loan has been fur
nished in this country, the rest of it
being provided by England. New York.
city has just borrowed S37, 000, 900 on
its stock, at 81 per cent. interest, the
money to be used on public improve
ments which are designed to make that
city one of the most attractive spots in
the world. Yet these vast monetary
operations have not unsettled the
markets in any perceptible degree.
Gold is going out of the country rap
idly these days on the Panama canal
and other accounts, but nobody is
showing any concern about the matter.
The working balance of the treasury
has been reduced by this $40, 900, 900
disbursement, yet the cash on hand is
so large in amount that the void due
to the big outgo has not been noticed.
These things show that the United
States is especially well provided with
cash. A comparison between the pres
ent situation, when we are furnishing
money to other nations, and the stu
alton ten years ago, in Cleveland IS days,
when we were borrowing in order to
prevent the country from dropping to
the silver basis, shows the contrast be-
tween Republican and Democratic fl
nanciering. This lesson will impress
the American people. Democratic adj
versity has been. succeeded by Repub-
lican prosperity, and the world at
large, as well as the American people,
was quick to discern the change. These
big financial operationsof the past few
DAYS furnish i'll themselves powerful
argument for the retention Of the Re
publican party in control of the gov
eminent. They will add many thous-
ands to the vote which the Republican
ticket will receive throughout the
country in November.

THE moral obligation for an official
to serve out the term of Office to which
he has been elected by the people has
been discussed more or less IN this
State in recent years. The Paterson
Call" strikes the nail ON the head
when it says: Senator Cross has de-
clined the U. s. district court judge
ship. 1t is pity, for a better man
for the position could not have been
found. But perhaps after all the SEN
ator is right. When a member of the
legislature or other department of the
state government who has been elected
by the people resigns for a better posi-
tion, in one sense of the word he be-
trays the confidence of those who
placed their faith in him. On general
principles an elected official should
serve to the end of his term no matter
at what sacrifice. II he depart from
this rule and yield to the temptation
of better position he is usually rel
egated to private life for the rest of
his career so far as an elective position
is concerned. 1t was because of his
appreciation of this fact that Senator
Mckee has declined a congressional
nomination which would be eQuiva-
lent to an election for it might posi-
bly, necessitate his resignation as a
state senator. A senator who resigned
a year or so ago for the the acceptance
Of a lucrative state office, could never
be elected again. And there are sew
eral instances of this nature. In the
case Of Senator Cross it is somewhat
different, for it is his intention at the
termination Of his present term to re-
sign from active political life, If we
are correctly informed. But on gen.
eral principles man who holds an
elective office must keep it till the end
II he expects to ever again receive the
support of his constituents.

come from States that will doubtless
give majorities to the Democratic can
