THERE seems to be considerable
misapprehension in regard to the ac-
tion OF the Republican County Con-
vehtion ON the Morris Canal abandon
ment measure and some of the State
papers are devoting space to the posi-
bic break in the party here in regard
to it. A comparison of the platforms
of last year and of this year will show
that the principles senunciated remain
substantially the same. Last year it
was declared:
We are opposed to the abandon
ment of the Morris Canal in the inter
ests Of any private corporation and we
pledge our candidates for Senator and
Assembly to such legislation as will
preserve and protect the rights of the
people in reference thereto"
This year the platform says on the
subject;
Believing that the time has ar
rived when the interests OF the people
would be best subserved by the aban-
donment of the Morris Canal, we de-
clare in favor of such abandonment,
providing the same may be accom-
plished so as to preserve the rights of
the people therein"
We declare in favor of the reserva-
tion of Lake Hopatcong and its waters
to the Counties of Morris and Sussex,
and are opposed to the use of the
waters of Lake Hopatcong by any pri-
! vate corporation, and demand that
the lake shall be preserved to the pub
! lie"
The principle is the same in each
case. If the canal cannot be retained
as water way, and there seems little
prospect OF that being accomplished,
the interests Of Morris County would
be better served by the abandonment
of the canal provided abandonment
can be secured on such terms as will
protect the interests Of the State, the
municipalities through which the
waterway passes, and of the property
owners along the stream.
The Morris County representatives
are pledged to such action as will take
care of the interests OF the people 81
the county in every way

IN MORRIS AND WARREN.

The Democrats of Morris County
and the Republicans Of Warren Coun-
ty. neither 81 whom have much pros
pect of success in the coming election,
have declared in favor OF limited fran
chises. Both counties are as a Hum
terdon County platform committee
would put it, short on trolley
roads, but 'slong on opportunities
for building them. Morris County has
a little line running from Rockaway
to Wharton, through Dover, under
the ownership and control Of the Nor
ris County Traction Company. War
ren County has a street railroad in
Phillipsburg, and the Easton and
Washington Traction Company is try
ing hard to get a line in operation as
far as Washington, through Broad
way, but has not yet succeeded.
Nevertheless, both Morris and War
ren are right in declaring for limited
franchises, for two reasons In the
first place, both these counties are
now in the same position, relative to
street railway companies, that the
other counties of this State we're fifty
years ago. If the counties Of Essex,
Hudson, Passaic, Bergen, Union, Mid
dlesex, Mercer, Camden, Monmouth
and others now gridironed with trolley
lines had it all to do over again, and
were il the position Of Morris and
Warren, with all the knowledge they
at present possess, not single fran
chise would be granted in perpetuity.
Not one. Morris and Warren are in a
position to reap all the advantages of
having trolley lines and to escape the
disadvantages of giving away valuable
privileges for all time. They are able
to refuse to tie themselves hand and
foot by granting irrevocable fran
chises
In the second place, Morris and War
ren are simply taking their stand in
line with the rest Of the State. With
out respect to political parties, all
conventions thus far have declared
for limited franchises, and there is
every prospect that the next Legisla-
ture will enact a law forbidding the
granting of any franchises in perpetu-
ity. The sentiment of the State with |
respect to trolley lines is the same
now that it was with respect to steam
railroad lines twenty years ago; name
ly, that the State should never place
itself or its valuable privileges perpet- |
ually and irrevOcably in the power Of |
private corporations.
The very fact that the minority |
party in each of these two counties |
has endeayored to make limited fran /
chises an issue is evidence Of the vide |
spread popularity of this policy. Coun-
ties almost beyond the reach of trolley
lines have seen the growth OF the Col
by movement in Essex County and I
have rightly attributed it to his cham-
of limited franchises. With
out experiencing the wrongs inflicted T
on the public by companies whose
charters are irrepealable. they have
observed the constant struggles the (
people are compelled to keep up, in
order to obtain proper service and de-
cent treatment, and they are right in
declaring for policy that will protect
them and their children from such
In the great tide OF
public sentiment sweeping toward the
enactment of a limited franchise law,
the minority parties of Morris and
Warren are helpful and welcome. ~

Survey Of the Work Accomplished
on the canaI--Question Of Sanitation
and Amusement of Employees to
Be Considered.
After visit to Fort Wadsworth and
Sandy Hook, N. X, Saturday Secre-
tary Taft said: mo foreign power
could ever successfully assail our sea-
board cities. With the present ELI
cheney Of our forts, rendered impregna-
BILE by the fire control system, sweep
ing zone that would bring annihila-
ton to any feet within range of the
batteries of big guns, the seaboard
cities are safe from foreign invasion.
"While it is necessary to go ahead
with contemplated improvements and
perfect to a higher degree of efficiency
the submarine and torpedo systems,
am glad to express satisfaction with
what have seen. While l did not
inspect Fort Wadsworth, the fortifica-
tions at Fort Hamilton impressed me
greatly Nothing could live upon the
water within range of these guns, di--
rected as they would be with other bat
teries erected for the defense of New
York city.
Colonel Greenough spoke to me of
the Importance of adding to the reser-
vation forty-tive acres of land ada
cent This ground will eventually be
required, and am inclined to favor
its purchase.
",rhe fortfficationss are in the best Of
condition, and the reservoirs Impress
ed me favorably- that is, everything
except the quarters. These / did not
view with any great delight. They
will have to undergo reconstruction
but Colonel Greenough has an eco
nomical plan for doing this work !!

Il should like to remain and vote;

CATION into the money spent and how
it was spent. One thing thai interests
me and to which shall give close at

erected for the laborers. Colonel Cor
gas has done splendidly in the matter
of sanitation He does not believe that
men who have been in that country for
a year win have yellow fever. 1t is the
newcomer who is; In, danger.
"It seems to, me that something
should be done to make the life of men
in the canal zone endurable. Men
have become discouraged and dishearts
ened where with diversion they would
be content to continue their labors.
The quarters Of these men have ev.
erything to do with their condition.
This matter VIII interest me. 1 am
going down there to see that every,
thing is being done properly. Il it is

According to the present outlook it
seems as if at Last d decision viii be
rendered by THE authorities OF the
LaGkawanna Baseball League settling
deinitely the-tie for first place which
nom exists between the Dover and
Sunsmit mines. President Mills, man
ages of The Oraage Club, has instruct ed
Secretary Konkie to- call meeting Of
tile league officials this week. This
meeting willtarobal5ty be held at Sam.
mit either FrAday or Saturday.
The matten which has brought the
Affairs OF the league to crisis, neces-
sitating meeting of the league Of
ticials, IS the action of Manager Mur-
phy, Of Summit, who has protested
three Of the. games played by Dover,
which, up TO this time, have been
reckoned Ia making up the league
standing. Mr. Murphy has lodged the
protest with Secretary Konkle on
the ground that Two players, McCor-
mick and Foxeh took active part in
several games which Dover won from
the MonristOwn-Chath nine, with
out having filed with the secretary oi
the league signed contracts with Man
ager Dnquette, Of Dover, as is required
/ by the rules.

players mentioned are alleged to have
taken part, was played on the last day
Of the league season, September l6
and consequently the time limit fol

their destination, the double-headel
which was won by Dover must, under
the rules, be ordered thrown out d

pionship to oSummit, since at present

which Summit won from the Morris
town-C Chatham nine, which, according
to a strict Interpretation Of the rules
ought not to be counted as league
contest, sincei it was Of necessity plaGeG
