BACK TO ITS M0oRIHGs.

For the Republican party in New"Jersey lie"
better things could have happened just now than
Mr.. Everett Colby's victory last TUESDAY. Ahe
party management had become loose, ideals and
standards had been lost sight OF and MERGE
nares and sordid characters were forcing the1n-
selves to the front. The conditions were rapidly
becoming something similar to those in the early
years of the last decade of the nineteenth cen
fury, when the Democrats were in command
The Democracy proved either unwilling or I'M
able to purge ITSELF and the people hurled it
from power.
Thoughtful and patriotic Republicans have
been fearing for several years that some such
castigation was in store for their party. Little
political bosses and corporation agents seemed
to think that the legislature met simply to at
tend to their business. Men who invited dis
cussion comprehensive questions of state
policy were derided as ''reformers' or 'cranks"
Touching the matter of selling charters to all
sorts Of piraticaI concerns one state official de-
liberately took the ground that New-Jersey was
in the market doing that kind of business, that
it was solely concerned in the collection of fees
and had no responsibility for what was done by
companies thus Incorporated
Something was due to drop suddenly. In fact.
many Republicans believe that the party might
have been oYerthrown last year but for the
Roosevelt tidal wave, which carried everything
with IT. these men, loving their party and be-
lieving in its principles, were eager for an op-
portunity to demonstrate that 1t was capable of
self-regeneration- That opportunity came very
appropriately in Essex County. If the rank and
file Of the Republican voters there proved IN
responsive the outlook would be bleak indeed.
The answer was so magnificent so emphatic
ana SO overwhelming as to astonish even the
most optimistic There is no doubt of the mean
ing. The party is getting back to it's old moor
ings. Essex has blazed the way, and it is only
a question Of time when the rest of the state
will follow suit The rights of the public are
going to get just consideration

THE TROUBLES OF HOKE.

Poor Hoke Smith! He is just as bad as a
black Republican He wants to be Governor Of
Georgia. but his rival, Mr. Clark Howell has
dug I'D the damning fact that when he was Sec
rotary of the Interior under President Cleveland
he appointed as many as eight negroes to office,
and what is worse. appointed them on the ad
vice of other negroes, like Bishop Turner and
Bishop Brown. thus recognizing the possibility
of a coIored man being something more than
mental, and worthy of being consulted in af-
fairs of state Hoke answers that the places
were inferior ones, BETTING the negro's status
in the eyes Of Georgia Democrats. Not So says
Mr.. Howell they were such as thousands of
white people in Georgia would have been glad
Ito have" And So after all these years, Hoke's
sins come home TO him!
If it was such a crime to appoint negroes to
office, how did it happen that Mr.. Howell and
the other watchful guardians of white dignity
and supremacy did not notice it ten or twelve
wears ago? 1t seemed to be all right for the
Democratic administration of Mr.. Cleveland TO
appoint negroes. Such appointments were made
as a matter of course in both his administra-
tons. Hoke may fairly plead that he should
not be condemned by any ex post facto laws
1t is only since the Republicans came back into
power and the Tillmans and Vardamans began
TO build up their fortunes on radical appeals to
prejudice that this new standard Of pro-
scription has been raised. Nothing like it was
ever thought OF by the old Southern leaders Of
the Stephens Lamar and Hampton type; and
there is less reason for it now than ever before
There is no longer the remotest danger Of negro
misrule. such as fostered former attempts to
keep the negro out of politics. The prescription
now is merely persecution which is largely
worked up for political purposes. Republican
policies and leaders were growing popular IN
the South for one thing. and enlightened Demo
Gratis were seeking in conciliatory spirit, by
encouraging education and industry, to raise
the negroes and advance Southern civilization
Something had TO be done to stop the tide 40
the appeal was made to prejudice and President
Roosevelt was pictured as devourIng monster
for doing the very things which fbe Soutb az.
cepted as matter of course from President
Cleveland. Now the spirit which tba Damo
cratic machines raised is coming home 70 n,oc,,a

late in the afternoon that Baron Komura was
worse, and that the true condition as to his

The fact that Dr. Janeway was called in by

to mean that tie baron was worse or that any

leading to it were quite to the contrary.

SUPERSTITION IN DEvoNsHIRE.

From The London Chronicle
Devonshire is known to the world for its super
sttious usages. which defy all efforts TO uproot
them. To name only one example, when a person
dies all the relatives must touch the body they
will be haunted by the ghost OF the dead forever
after. superstition not local in its observance
is that Of beginning task Friday. The
writer recently encountered a girl who. receiving
notice TO change from one room to another FRI
day. insisted upon doing it on the Thursday instead
But the most curious instance of superintendent
this too, is met with much nearer home than
Devon-is surely that which prescribes that when
say. a domestic servant has broken a piece Of
crockery she is bound by fate to break two other
pieces So far is this idea carried that the writer
knows a case where flower pots kept for the
special purpose of being broken to appease the
fates Charles Dickens, however. who died thirty
five years ago, noted that all good things had
