THERE is reason to fear that unless
Japan recedes from the position She
has taken in regard to a war indemni-
ty and the turning over to her by Rus
STA Of certain interned vessels the
peace conference at Portsmouth will
result in failure Thursday the Rus
sian ENJOYS, on behalf of that country,
refused in unequiyocal terms to Teim-
burse Japan for one cent of the ex-
penses incurred in injuring Russia.
They are willing to reimburse Japan
for the care of the Russian wounded,
etc, but will end at that. The Rus
slams claim that to pay war indemni-
ty when no portion of her territory
has been invaded or held by hostile
army would be establishing prece-
dent unheard of in the modern world,
1t is to be hoped that some arrange
ment may besmade by which this diff
Guilty can be overcome. The japanese
have shown surprising spirit Of con-
citation, and ifthey waive these points

TO STUDY FRANCHISES.

Governor Stokes Appoints Commits
sion Created by Dun1eld Act.
Governor Stokes Wednesday ap-
pointed the members of the commits
sion which, under the Dufileld act of
last winter, will inquire into and re-
port upon the subject of franchises
granted to public utility corporations.
The commissioners are Ex-Governor
Foster M. Voorhees,, Ex-Governor
Franklin Murphy, John G.. Payne, Of
Jersey City;. Rckard II. Budd, Of
Mount Holly, and Frank Il. Lloyd, Of
Camden.
The passage Of the Duffaeld act fol-
lowed the agitation led by Assembly
man Everett Colby last winter that
the legislature then and there enact a
law looking toward the adjustment
of perpetual franchises to public cor
porations and the granting Of restrict
ed or limited franchises only.
Large financial interest are at stake,
and the popular clamor that valuable
public utility franchises are given
away annually ia perpetuity is met by
the counter argument that ia the de-
velopment of new territory and indus
tries such corporations play an Inn
portant part. and it is for the commu-
nifty rather than the State to say upon
what terms bhey shall be authorized
to operate.

THE Emperor of Russia has issued
his ukase creating a national CONSUL
tatiye assembly, to be formed ofrepre-
sentatives from the whole of the EN-
pire. The decree asserts the auto
cracy of the Gar, but grants to the
people the right of a voice in the pre-
liminary elaboration and discussion
of the laws and the examination of
the. State budget There is disap-
pointment among the liberals over
the fact that the assembly's functions
are to be simply consultative, but
they are gratitied that even so much
as that has been conceded them by
the Gar, believing that greater power
will eventually come to the people
through the good services of the as

AS the state voting machine COM
missioners considered the bids too
high on voting machines, the commits
sion at its meeting Tuesday did not
give out the contract for supplying
more voting devices for the state.
Bids were received from the United
States Standard company and the In
ternational Ballot Counting Machine
company. The standard company
asked 5000 a machine or 800 more
on each machine than was asked last
year. For the international, 5000 a
machine was asked if lot of less than
100 were purchased. The commission
did not decide what to do, but it is
likely that the bids will be rejected.
The commission received an appropria-
tion of $780, from the last legisla-
ture to buy the ballot devices.

WHILE the election laws are de-
signed. to- secure a free and uninfiu-
enced bollot for every voter, there is
no disputing that they are so complex
that it takes much study to properly
interpret them Instead of simplify
ing matters they make them more
complicated, and if it were not for the
party machinery to take initiative and
carry out the details Of the election
work there would be no election. To
keep the voters informed as to their
duties'we give on another page the cal
endar of the election, which will be
continued up to election day. The first
duty of every voter is to be sure that
he is registered, and if the members
of the registry board do not call at his
home he should look them up and find
out the reason why. The primary cleo
ton is the next duty.

THE people OF New Jersey are wait
ing with bated breath to hear what
eight-tenths of the Assemblymen, in
Guiding the Speaker, who promised to
support Mr.. Colby's limited franchise
measure last winter have to say in
regard to the sudden and remarkable
change of heart that overlook them
during the recess of the Legislature.
When we recall the intense indigna-
tion and immediate action that fol-
lowed the rumorS Of bribery in connec-
tion With the canal abandonment bill,
it wonld seem that these same gentle
men must take some action in regard
to a specific charge of having been
controlled by corporation influences.

THE United States not only helps
feed and clothe a large part Of the out
side world, but supplies various arti-
Giles of manufacture in rapidly-increas-
ing quantities. In the fiscal year
which ended with June this country
exported s543, 100000 worth Of manu-
featured goods. That was s9l 600, 900
more than was exported during the
previous year. In ten years the value
Of this class Of exports has been null
tiplied by three. The growth in ex-
ports far outruns the increase in popu-
lation. In thirty years the number Of
people has grown from 45,0O0,OOO to
about S3.000,0 00, but during the same
period the value of manufactured ex-
ports has risen nearly $50 per cent.
