THE agitation over the dumping of
sewer matter in the township brings
up again the question Of making some
adequate provision for taking care Of
the sewage of the town. We have
been going on in happy go lucky way
for years without any serious conse-
quences, and while the objections to
the present system on the part Of
many people may be largely sentimen-
tai, yet this state of affairs cannot in
the nature Of things go on forever.
The tract of land east of the town is
well adapted for the absorption of
sewage, and from the fact that it is
too far away from town to be available
for building purposes, has served a
good stead. But with the new rail-
road and trolley facilities in contem-
plation that section in a few years
will be built up and then, of course,
cannot be used for dumping purposes.
The point that the matter can be
taken further away is all right but
longer hauls win make the cost of ex-
cayating still more expensive. We
are up against serious proposition.
What are we going to do about it.

Chairman Briggs, Capt. George War
rem. Of Barnegat and Hon. George w.
Holman, Of Bayville, Withdrew from
the Senatorial fight, leaving a clear
field for Senator George L. Shinn
whose reorganization is now assured.
For some unknown reason several Of
the prominent papers of the state have
been making war upon Senator Shinn,
which was entirely aunwarranted.
Whilethe Senator did not waste the
time OF the Senate In talking, he was
always in his place when the Senate
was In session and he gave careful att
tention to his duties, and ably repre-
sented his constituents.

APRoPos of the claims of the Dem
ocracy that they will carry enough
close Congressional Districts to secure
control of the House, the New York
Sun" says: If the Republicans
shall elect their candidate for Presi-
dent and still lose the House of Repre-
sentatiyes, it will be, an experience
unprecedented in the history Of Presi-
Dental elections since that party was
formed. In all those elections the
party successful in electing a Presi-
dent has carried the House of Repre-
sentatiyes also. That the unyarying
precedent will be broken this year is
the more improbable because the Off
cial, or so-called Australian, ballot
has been adopted in all the States ex-
cept Georgia, North Carolina and
South Carolina. Under that system
a party's whole ticket is more likely
to be elected, if any Of its candidates
are elected, than by the old way. This
does not look much like the election OF
Mr. Roosevelt with Democratic
House. The precedents offer no en-
enlargement OF any kind to the Dem
ocrats. All the same. as we suggested
a few days ago, conditions In MANY Of
the Congress districts lead to the
thought that the Republicans had
better put on more steam.''

PARKER WANTS TO FURL THE
FLAG.

In his letter just written to John CT.
Milburn, Mr.. Parker puts a club in
the hands Of his Democratic and Re-
publican enemies which they will use
upon him with effect from now until
election day. Parker used the phrase
self government in his speech Of
acceptance in speaking of the attitude
which he favored toward the Phillip
pines. He now says that by self gov
eminent he meant Independence.
The St. Louis platform declared, as
the policy of the Democratic party,
that we ought to do for the Fill
pinos what we have already done for
the Cubans." In his Milburn note,
Mr.. Parker says that in his letter Of
acceptance it shall be made clear that
Z / am in hearty accord with that
plank of the Democratic platform
which advocates treating the Fill
pinos precisely as we did the Cubans, !"
and he would do this for the Filipinos
{ as soon as it can prudently be done. 4
This ayowal, it isscarcely necessary to
say, will further demoralize the dis
cordaht and respondent Democratic
party, and make Republican campaign
work particularly easy and pleasant
The promise of independence made in
the Democratic platform, and now
Endorsed by the Democratic candidate
win have a tendency to raise hopes
among the Filipinos which the Amer
lean people will never grant. A larger
and larger share of self-government,
until finally something like Canada's
under the British system is reached, is
the promise which the Republicans
hold out. This will give home rule
and American protection, which is
what the most enlightened among
the Filipinos will indorse. 1t Judge
Parker wants to know what the Amer
lean people think Of flag furling, let
him scan the returns of the Republic
can landslide in the congressional
elections in the fall Of 1894, a few
months after Cleveland hauled down
the flag in Hawaii.

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.


A@AOAt ~ CAAtiOAC0e
From the Newark News we learn
that there doesn't appear to be much
doubt in some Democratic circles Of
Union County that the party's Con-
gressional candidate in the Fifth Dis
trict at the approaching election will
be former Prosecutor of the Pleas
William r. Wilson, of Elizabeth. 1t
is known that one of the county
leaders Of that party had called on
Mr.. Wilson and made it plain to him
that it was up to him to stand for the
nomination. 1t isn't known exactly
what the lawyers reply was, but
when News reporter asked about it
Mr.. Wilson said he might see it that
way when he had had some time to do
a little more thinking
As a Democratic leader put it,
there isn't any opposition ip Union to
Mr.. Wilson's becoming the candidate
and SO far as has been indicated,
Morris win indorse the selection if
Irving Il. Salmon withdraws from the
race. At the recent Union Demo-
Gratis outing, there were three Con-
gressional possibilities talked of and
Mr., Wilson was one Of them. The
Others were former Representative
Dewitt g. Flanagan, Of Morristown,
and James e. MARITIME, of Plaintield.
1t has since developed that the
Morris millionaire doesn't care for the
nomination, at least, SO intimate
friends declare, while Mr.. MARITIME Is
quoted as expressing his disinclina-.
tion to accept the honor.
At all events, the friends of Mr..
Wilson, and they are many, have
started his boom with a vengence and
they say that the only thing that will
deter its sailing right Through the
convention to success would be Mr..
Wilson's backing out, 1t Isl Unions
turn to receive the nomination, and
with no Morris aspirant as a factor,
the Wilson boomers feel that the con-
vention's choice is sure to be theirs.
Mr. Wilson has been one Of Union
County's leading lawyers for more than
a score Of years, A native Of Elizabeth
he was public prosecutor for ten years
from 1881 to 1891 having been APP
pointed by Governor Ludlow and re-
appointed BY Governor Albeit. Heis
a strong Cleveland man, and it is not
unlikely that the ex-President's in
fluence may be extended toward fur
thering Mr.. Wilson'S congressional
boom
The sif" in the case is prominent
factor, as Mr.. Salmon S friends are urg-
ing him to take the nomination and it
is matter Of consideration with him.

THE attitude Of the Democratic
party in seeking votes FORTS candidate
because in telegraph dispatch he
showed greater wisdom ard courage
than its leaders assembled III conven-
ton would seem to be the heighth Of
inconsistency. But the Hon, Thorn
as Watson, in a speech at Atlanta, last
week showed that the party was even
still more inconsistent on important
issues when he said: z Why did the ma
tional Democratic leaders surrender
to Belmont and Wall street? Senator
John w. Daniel Of Virginia, let the
cat out of the bag when he said in the
Committee on Resolutions that he was
tired Of being in the minorityN Not
tired Of being in the wrong. No: he
did not even pretend that he had been
in the wrong. Simply because they
have been in the minority. they are
ready to drop the principles which
they have sworn for eight years were
right, and to adopt those which even
now they dare not say are right! Great
God What an attitude for the leaders
Of a great national party!''
Mr.. Watson has pointed out the de-
fectin Democratic politics. Domina-
ted by the solid South where the lead
ers agree on hardly single measure,
and the only common bond is the ter
ror Of the race issue, that party has
been guided BY expediency and oppor-
1 tunism from one political fallacy to
another until its thinking men were
i forced to abandon it. And now, by
accident, finding itself in a position
which it has denounced in the past,
/ it asks the people to place it IN power.
But when it is seen that the destinies
of the party are controlled by the shift
ty leaders who have made it odious
in the past there is no reason why it
should be trusted now.

THE Republicans Of New Jersey
nave not yet nominated a candidate
for Governor, but the sentiment of the
party from Sussex to Cape May is in
Lone direction only, and that is in favor
Iof former State Senator Edward G.
Stokes, Of Cumberland county, who,
without doubt, win be the nominee.
The Democratic organs realizing that
fact have been waging a war upon Mr..
Stokes that is unquestionably making
him more popular every day, because
the ammunition fired at him is base
Misrepresentation Of his public career.
In one instance his most inveterate
opponent is known to have a personal
grievance, which, when fully ex-
planned, ought to put the opponent
out of business. 1t can only be said
now that the cause Of it is the carry
ing out Of instructions in the matter
of loan, an every day business trans
action that the aforesaid opponent
thought, perhaps, should not apply to
him. Mr.. Stokes fidelity to every call
Iof duty is well exemplified in this
case, and it is an evidence of his in
tegrity sufficient to utterly anihilate
the Misrepresentation Of his detrac-
tors. When he becomes the nominee
Of his party, and the campaign is once
begun, his present defamers will be
apt to take to the woods rather than
meet the facts and arguments that
will be presented to the voters of New
Jersey.
