M CARTER DENIES OPPOSINGRAII-
ROAD COM MISSION. BILL.


Thomas N. McCarter, president of
the Public Service Corporation, has
made public statement at Newark,
in which he refuted intimations that
the company he is head of has been
endeavoring to prevent the signing by
Governor Stokes of the bill providing
for the creation Of a state commission
to investigate and report to the Leg
islature upon the question of limited
franchises for public utilities.
Not only is the Public Service not
opposing the approval of the bill, :"
Mr.. McCarter said, but we hope the
Governor will sign it and appoint a
commission Of character to inspire
the confidence of the public in the re-
suit Of its deliberations, In my judg-
1nent the way to meet great cues
ton Of public import is not to stihe
its discussion, and the questions to
come before this commission are Of
vital interest to all the people Of the
state, as well as to the interpretations
involved.

AS usual about this season Of the
year there is much talk about indie
pendent movements in politics, and
judging from the reports in the var
ious counties it is easy to believe that
the Republican organizations, or ''ma-
chimes as those dissatisfied call them,
are sure to be overthrown and new
set of men will take charge Of affairs.
In Hudson county Col, Dickinson, the
county leader and Mayor Pagan are
at swords points and number Of
prominent men do not speak as they
pass by. In Essex county John S..
Gibson has renewed his light on Major
Lentz, and Assem- blyman Colby has an
nounced himself as a candidate for
State Senator and expects the opposi-
tion Of the organization. And 50 in
other counties the political surface Is
very much rutfied. This, however, is
not to be deplored, as IL shows that
the people are interested, and while
there is no danger OF the organizations
being broken up it will have the effect
Of placing better men. in nomination

ALDERMAN HURTzIG is entitled to
public thanks for calling attention to
the injustice threated Morristown and
a portion of Morris county by the pro-
visions Of the $ Passaic River Torren-
tial Flood BILL What possible bene-
fits can come to this section by dam
ing up the waters of the Passaic no
one can tell, while there isno question
as to the injury that would follow the
flooding large section Of the Passaic
Valley. There is no doubt but that
the act would be declared unconstitu-
tional if contested in the courts, but it
win be necessary to take action at
once. When the supplementary bill
was before the Senate Mr.. Hillery pro-
cured the adoption Of an amendment
which provides that the empounded
waters shall not overflow amy cemetery
now established. This provision would
prevent the flooding of much of Nor
ris county.

A FEW days ago we called attention
to the fact that Whitelaw Reid, as
ambassador to England, receiving a
salary of sl7,5 a year, would pay for
his house rent in London $4,000 a
year. 1t is now stated by the London
I" Truth that the salary of the British
ambassador at Washington has been
increased by the addition Of the sum
of "a 900 a year, this being considered
necessary on account Of the high cost
of living in the United States. The
first secretary of the embassy is also
to receive an increase of 81 900 year.
England believes in paying her am
bassadorS and consuls abroad salaries
adeq Iate to enable them to maintain
establishments in keeping with the
dignity of their offices. This govern
ment pursues a different policy. 1t
pays its foreign representatives such
salaries as compel it to appoint only
rich men to fill the principal stations,
and in most cases to depend upon in
ferior men to fill the lower places, i'm
asmuch as persons Of talent and BUSH
ness ability can earn more at home
than they could by drawing the salar-
les of conSuls and secretaries.

Howard, rode down Pennsy ivania ave
nue., where the crowds Of men, women
and children almost obstructed the
marching course.
After passing the reviewing stand
Sherman turned aside, dismounted and
went upon the stand, shaking hands
with the president. General Grant and
all the cabinet officers with the excep-
ton of Secretary of War Stanton.
Stanton offered his hand, but Sherman
declined it In resentment for some Of
the acts Of the secretary relating to
Sherman's command.
Sherman's army occupied six and
sone-half hours III passing the review
ing stand. General Howard. rode at
the head Of the Army Of the Tennessee,
and General FL. W. SIocum led the
Army Of Georgia. General John A.
Logan commanded the Fifteenth corps
that day.
Sherman was proud Of his command
and paid a high tribute to its appear
ance in his memoirs. TT was, in my
Judgment" he says, ''the most mag
nificent army In existence, $1,000 men
in splendid physique, who had just
completed march of nearly 1000
miles in hostile country" But the
crowds who had come to witness a
peculiar spectacle were not disap-
pointed. 1t was Sherman's army all
through. Some Of the division COM
manders had added by way Of variety
goats, milk cows and pack mules,
whose load consisted Of gamecoclxs,
poultry, hams, ETC., and some Of them
had the families of freed slaves along,
with the women leading their children
After the grand review the regiments
were sent rapidly to their home states
to be mustered out Then came the
local parades and receptions by the cit
liens of the boys back from the war
with their tattered and bullet riven
flags. For two months following there
was repetition on mammoth scale
of the inspiring scenes Of 1851. The
country was one vast camp where
martial ranks were broken for good,
battlenags furled and the veterans
sent rejoicing ON their last tramp, the
journey honeward Nearly 10000
men were mustered out during the
summer months, but the armies ceased
to exist as armies before the Fourth
of july.

HUDSON county has just sold to the

fifty acres of "an impassable morass, z
which "for any other purpose would

The railway company needed the

The most remarkable and perhaps
the most pleasing feature of the res
toration Of the Plowboy" Flag to the
confederate company Of that name at
New Bern, NC, on the occasion OF the
visit of its captors, the Ninth New
Jersey Volunteers, last week, was the
fact that the flag was delivered to the
same woman (Mrs. Joyner, of Column
bia, S. O., then a young girl by name
Mary Wintield), who presented the
flag to the Beaufort Plowboys when
they started for the front. 1t was
equally remarkable that she handed it
back to Captain Harding who as COM
mander of the Plowboys received it
from her more, than forty years ago.

THE decision Of the Administration

The decision Of the Administration
in regard to the purchase of supplies
for the. Panama canal seems to be vim
dicated by the current news Of the
day. While it was set forth by the
steel rail manufacturers that the most
dire consequences would ensue if for
eign manufacturers were allowed to
compete for orders for double tracking
the fifty miles on the isthmus, the
general manager of one of our great
steel companies announced that the
Russian government has practically
decided to place in this country an or
der for 10000 tons Of rails for its ST.
berian road, and that it is considering
the placing of orders here for double
tracking the whole 5000 miles of that
railway. Again, the editor of THE
American Manufacturer '-who GER
tainly should be an authority upon
the subject, and one friendly to Amer
lean industries frankly declares, that
in open competition with all the world
at Panama American manufacturers
would be able to win nearly all the
contracts. They would, he confident
ly asserts, win on all but two items
namely ships and rails and they
would win on rails; too, were it not
"for the requirements of the pool''
that the domestic rate shall be main
tanned. If they would only consent to
sell rails at their foreign market
prices in that foreign market, and not
insist upon regarding Panama as do
nestle market, they could capture
contracts for rails there as easily as in
Russia. He adds significantly that
'the Presidents order will enable the
canal commission to buy material
cheaper, and political graft methods
win be obliterated

cabinet, and Sherman, with his wife
and eight-year-old son, Tom, were
present as guests. General Meade rode
at the head Of the Army of the Poto-

THIS day is Memorial day. The
one day in the year set apart by a
grateful nation to commemorate and
honor the memory and services OF
the men who so willingly sprang to
arms to save their country in time Of
peril, many of whom gave their lives
to the cause. Unfortunately, coming
as the day does at the opening OF the
out-of-door season, there is dispose
tion to regard it as a day for recreation
rather than reflection. 1t should APP
peal especially to young people, as the
war of '61-5 was particularly a young
mans war. Any man under sixty to-
day was under twenty when Lee sur
rendered to Grant at Appomattox. 1t
is significant also that the enthusiasm
that inspired these lads in their teens
to perform deeds of daring still fires
the hearts Of the veterans and is graph
ically set forth by Wallace Irwin in

Some people were inclined to
laugh about the strict quarantine
regulations of some towns, because
the yellow fever was of a mild
type. but it is nevertheless fact
that however mild, it killed good
many people, and from the last
humber of The Banner-Democrat
OF Lake Providence, we find list
of the victims from yellow fever
to be eighteen of its best white
people and eight of the colored
people fell victims to the fever.
Tallulah and Patterson suffered in
the same manner, and today many
of their best people leave vacant
places in their respective commu-
mites, to fill premature graves.
