SOME of the Democratic newspapers
regard as !" lodges and evasions" Sena-
tor Stokes assertion that there are
constitutional questions involved in
the settlement Of the question of tax,
ing the main stem of the railroads,
Yet it is a fact that the charters Of
some Of the companies antedate oul

visions fixing the amounts which the
companies shall contribute to the

years paid its taxes under protest
upon the advice Of eminent lawyers
that under the charter the state has
no right to exact the tax.

A CARD.
TO the Editor Of the Chronicle

TO the Editor Of the Chronicle
DEAR SIR George Williams, who
won his suit for libel at the present
term Of Court against a local paper,
is now aware that half truth given
out to justify an untruth is very in-
consistent and not in the least very
satisfactory to the injured party.
The local newspaper which was de-
PENDANT in the suit claimed that
Georges name in a police court case
was USED enormously instead of his
brother Charles. The latter was sud-
denly stricken i'll with mental all
ment, which sad occurrence was made
basis for an uncalled for and annoy
ing sensational story in said newspa-
per.
Both young men are well known IN
town as being honest and industrious.
While the defendant newspaper was
willing to retract what it had pub
lished concerning George Williams, it
declined to make the amende honor
able regarding Charles, who. under
the existing circumstances, is made
the victim of a a story made out Of a
tissue of exaggerations enanating
from the vivid imagination Of space
writing reporter.
GEORGE WILLIAMS.

THE Republicans are very fortunate
in having as a gubernatorial candidate
man whose life is as an open. book, so
we'll known is Edward U. Stokes to
the voters of New Jersey. He has no
weak points and nothing to conceal or
gloss over, No sooner is an untruth-
fulsstoIy told in relation to him than
he boldly meets itand shows it's falsity
by an appeal to his public record.
There are two instances OF this frank
ness on Mr.. Stokes part in this issue.
He was charged with having in some
way committed himself to the canal
abandonment scheme. No sooner is
the matter brought to his attention
than he writes a letter denying the
charge and appeals to his record,
which action should satisfy every fair
minded man as to his position. His
opponent, Mr. Black, with a lamata-
BILE disregard OF ordinary courtesy in
Inmates that Mr.. Stokes is controlled
by the railroads. He quickly comes
out Ia another article, explaining his
connection with the directorate of a
railroad, stating that it was simply an
honorary position. While his opponents
have labored hard to besmirch Mr..
stokes garments the effect has been
but to stultify themselves.

BLACK, DAVIS AND
THE MORRIS CANAL

Residents Of this section Of the
State who fear an injury to their
interests through the passage by the
Legislature of an unfair bill for the
abandonment of the Morris Canal,
would do well to take a peep behind
the scenes of Charles @. Blacks some-
what spectacular candidacy for Gov
ernor of New Jersey.
1t is well known that Mr.. Black is
the candidate OF bob" Davis, the
Democra ic boss Of Hudson County.
Mr.. Davis was directly responsible for
Blacks nomination and Mr.. Davis
would be the power behind the throne
il Black were elected.
The people hereabouts know full
we'll that one Of the main objects Of
the men who are seeking to accom-
plish canal abandonment is to secure
the valuable water rights, which,
under just plan of abandonment,
would revert to the State. And
there is no man in the State who is
keeping a closer watch on those
valuable rights than Bob Davis
himself. 1t was his Democratic
Board Of Works in Jersey City that
granted the most lavish privileges to
the East Jersey Water Company and
it is well known that the interests
of Davis ana the Water Company are
still one. Any plan Of canal abandon
ment, therefore, by which the water
rights ofsthe Morris Canal might be
secured by a private corporation,
would be sure to have the support OF
the Democratic boss of II udson
County. And he is the man who
nominated CharlesC. Black for Gov
ernor.
1t is evident that Mr.. Black was
of this when he visited
Morris County the other day, for he
made denial of an accusation which,
as far as is known, only his own mind
had brought against him up to that
time. In his speech at Dover he
said, IF elected, | promise not to
sanction any Legislation that would
work injuriously to Dover or to Nor
ris County, But, even If he did
feel compelled to refer thus vaguely
to his association with Bob Davis,
the promise he made was also vague
and will be generally regarded as UNI
by all who are opposed to
a Morris Canal steal.

The Democratic party promises q
change ID. the tariff policy 81 the Gov
ernment II they eleut Judge Parker
and Democratic House, it will be an
order from the majority Of the voters
that the tariff policy must be changed.
"A Republican Senate can stand against
this policy for a short time; but BUSH
ness conditions will change at once as
they did after the election IN 1892.
The disasters Of that period did not
wait for the passage Of the Wilson
German tariff bill. They began the
day after the election Of Grover Cleye-
land and Democratic House Of Rep
resentatiyes and they kept changing
from bad to worse through two years
that interviewed between the election
and the passage Of the Democratic
tariff bill.
Like conditions produce like re-
suits. The people might as well;have
their sober second thought before the
election as we'll as after. If they
want a change they had better get
ready the cyclone cellar and prepare
to find shelter from the cyolonic
change that always follows a Demo
cratic victory to the polls when that
victory means an order for the reyer-
sal Of a revenue policy.

USUALLY the defeated party in a
national election reserves its cries of
fraud and corruption till after the vote
is counted, This year, fortnight or
more before election, the Democratic
managers, newspapers and candidates
have broken out in a chorus Of fraud
cries all designed to show that the
Roosevelt administration has been
guilty Of gross corruption and rascality
in the past and is aboutto be contin-
ued in power by the same means.
According to this chorus there have
been gross extravaganza and misman-

result is no less certain in spite OF the
fact that our opponents are advancing
speci0us arguments in favor of their
candidates, but it is not within the

by their claptrap. Once before the
Democrats made the issue of tax re-

and when they by deceiving the voters

Black has been in a position for years
to show what he can do in the way Of
suggesting reforms but has done no.

in the State Board of Taxation have
been overruled by the courts because
they favored corporations without re-

Republicans have taken up the ques-

1t would have been better to let
well-enough alone. This was the
sober second thought expression Of the
New York Evening POST in 1898,
about year after the last great Dem
ocfatic victory which gave that party
control of the Congress as well as the
Presidency. The POST had been
one Of Mr.. Cleyeland's most ardent
supporters. 1t had vigorously ops
posed the Mckinley tariff bill, had
urged tariff revision along Democratic
lines, and supported the Democratic
ticket in 1892. 1t reioiced with DEM
0crats over the victory and prophe-
sled no end Of good things that would
come as the result.
But after six months Of distrust
and disaster. with banks falling and
factories closing their doors and work.
inginen thrown out of work, the
/" Evening POST said TT would have
been better to let well-enough alone.
There were many thousands Of ped
pie who had that same sober second
Thought after the mischief had been
done. They had hearkened to the cry
for al change. little dreaming that
such change would be. They had
joined in the cry for cheaper prices
and when they came labor was the
cheapest product on the market, and
the loss Of wages to the workingmen
caused a loss to the merchant whose
customers they had been, then to the
manufacturer who had supplied the
merchant, to the banker who backed
the manufacturersand 50 on through
the whole line Of business enterprise,
until there was stagnation and bank
ruptcy ON every hand.
In 1892 aS now the Democratic party
declared that protection was robbery
and that the tariff must be revised for
revenue only Then as now there were
Blatant free traders in that party de-
manding d revolutionary change, and
then as now there were more cautious
and conservative Democrats who said
they would 20 slow and bring about a
gradual change they would, as the
late Tholmas y. Reed expressed it, ann
putate an arm this year, leg next
year and carve up the body piece-meal.
But-they proposed in the end to reach
the same goal as the radical free
traders who insisted on tearing down
the custom houses at once.
But to those who had their capital
invested Ia business and adjusted to-
the Mckinley tariff. the threat Of a
change however effected, meant the
REIMBURSEMENT If their business. They
could not continue doing business on
the old basis. They could not pay
American wages and compete with
European manufactures paying half
these wages. They waited for the
blow to fail and husbanded their re-
venues for that event.
That experience was only ten years
ago. It has not been forgotten. When
a change Of policy IS ordered at the
polls thatehange is certain to come,
whether the party III power goes
about its work with a meat-axe Or a
pruning knife The business affairs Of
the country viii wait for the change

when the trains arrive. Whose
business is it to keep the crowd of
loafers and curious from taking up
the whole space between the cars
and the passenger waiting room so
that the passengers can get off the
train or get away from the train
after they get off. The new and
handsome waiting room is also
crowded with people who are there
for no purpose but to see people
coming or going. We notice that
the floors of the new and handsome
waiting rooms are being very much
soiled by tobacco spit, old cigar and
cigarett stumps, and general abuse
of a nice new room designed for de-
cent people to wait in for coming
train. The policemen who 90 to
the train take no notice of the
crowding about the cars by those
who are not looking for friends or
anybody coming or accompanying
anybody gong away on the cars.
Hack drivers, hotel porters rush in
regardless and block the way so that
ladies and children can't walk. 1t
is time to put a stop to this, in this
place, as is done in all other cities
or places of any size. There should
be line drawn beyond which no
one should be allowed to 20, except
those who are there to 90 on the
train or to meet some one coming on
the train then due, and the police
men should enforce it strictly. We
call upon the city council and police
to come to the rescue of the decent
people who 60 to the depot only

not abused and rendered unfit for

WOMEN'S CLUBS ARRAIGNED.

1t seems to be at least a part of
the programme, by laws, rules and
regulations of the women's clubs to
meet somewhere, sometime every
week and entertain, either in social,
literary or business transaction, con-
nected with the affairs of the club so
meeting. That progressive eucbre
or some other progressive game with
cards is played and prizes given to
the winners, we presume is not de-

clubs. The TIMES has never felt

we have tried to make public the
many good works, social and civic,
the clubs have done, and are still
trying to do. 1t has been left to
one eminently qualified to judge of
the evil tendencies, or rather the
evils which must inevitably grow out
of certain practices of the women's
clubs. We refer to the Thanksgiv,
ing Day sermon preached by Bishop
W. w. Duncan at Marietta, Georgia,
during the session of the North
Georgia Conference, over which he
presided. The bishop said: "Society
is leading women to their ruin, and
that many violations of law by the
society set are winked at. see

and cringe aud crawl, and like the
chastised dog, lick the hand of the
one who dealt the blow. Senator
Bacon urges the Democratic party
to remain firm and steadfast, with
unbroken ranks as the only safe and
sure means Of retaining, maintaining
and preserving white supremacy.
The north has ever been jealous of
the wealth and prosperity of the
south, and has never lost an orpnr-
tunity of burdening her people with
unjust laws aud taxation. From the
time the New England and Dutch
slave traders were forced to abandon
the trade, the negro has been an ir-
ritating thorn in the flesh of the body
polite, bone of contention, and as
the negro constituted large portion
of the wealth of the south, plan to
deprive the south of this much of
her wealth, never ceased to agitate
and engage the attention of the
north, not for any real love of the
negro or their adherence of slavery,
but to deprive the south of them as
property. and ever since the emanci>
patton of the slave the Republican
party has endeavored to get full con-
troll of the negro as a political factor
for the purpose of getting absolute
control of the government.
Senator Bacon in summing up the
situation asks: ''Does the Republi-
can party believe in and advocate
white supremacy, and is it opposed
to negro rule and to negro office
holding in the south? If yes, then
the Democratic party in the south
will ground its arms so far as con-
Germs that issue. But if no, then
the argument with US is closed, be-
cause ifahe Republican party is OPP
posed to white supremacy in the
south and does favor negro rule and
negro office holding there are no
considerations which should be suf-
ficient to induce the white men of
the south to support that party"
We feel that We must judge the fu-
ture by the past when we come to
consider the attitude cf the Repnbli-
can party upon the question of white
supremacy in the south. We most
heartily endorse the views enter
tained and so forcibly expressed by
Senator Bacon and feel that the re-
peal Of the 18th amendment would
remove one of the great causes of
contention between the two great
political parties of the United States,
and the Republican party would get
what is much desired; a reduction of
the south's representation in con-
gress, and the south the establish
ment of white supremacy.
