REPUBLICAN SURPLUS AGAIN.

For the fiscal year that began July
last the government receipts are
now ahead of expenditures. The sur
plus at the end Of last month 81, 1922
003. Yet Sl2,O00,OOO has been spent
on public works this year, mainly on
Panama canal account. A payment
of more than $1,000, 900 on that great
enterprise explains all but an incon-
siderable part of the deficit since May
l, 1904. 1t is a good time to look back
over the financial record Of the Re
publicans since they resumed control
of the treasury nine years ago, a period
including the Spanish war. The years
of deficit during the nine years ending
with June 80 last give total of S211,-
1856, 452. The years of surplus in the
same time have a total of 1902, $50, O87.
The net surplus since the Republicans
returned to power in 1897 is s9l, O73,-
Cos.
1t is great showing when it is re-
membered that war was fought with
Spain and one in the Philippines, that
a large payment was made to Spain
for the islands, and that $50, 100000
cash has thus far been drawn from
treasury for Panama expenditures.
During nearly all these years the
Dingley tariff has been in operation.
It's practical wisdom has been abund-
antly proved in war and peace, in an
era of remarkable territorial and in
dustrial expansion, and of great pub
lie undertakings. 1t is easy to stand
rat on such results. Government ex-
penses increase continually, but the
Dingley tariff has kept up with the
demands and is bringing in more rev.
enue this year than the treasury Off
cials predicted. The war taxes were
repealed so long ago that they are al
m ost forgotten. Republicans can
point with honest pride to their gov
eminent balance sheet.

ALTHOUGH in the interest OF tenn
perance, as they claimed, most Of the
Assemblymen voted against the local
option bin there is good reason to be-
lieve the Bishops bill will become a
law. The sentiment throughout the
State is strongly in favor Of this bill,
as was proven on Sunday by the Wig
orous support that was given to 1t by
Catholic and Protestant clergymen
everywhere in the State. IL is a
measure to which many saloonkeepers
themselves can raise no objection, for
it aims solely to restrict, regulate and
to prevent violations Of the law. II
is aimed at the low-down saloon. It
prohibits selling or giving liquor to
minors, and it meets the saloon men
on the ground they have always con-
tended that their business Is legalized
and legitimate, and demands chat
they conduct their business as other
businesses are conducted. 1t demands
the removal OF screen doors, blinds
and curtains. and prevents secret VIC
Ilations Of the law. The moral and
religious elements Of the State are
aroused on the question Of the regula
Ition of the liquor traffic as they wert
Fin respect to the racatrack infamy
land the Legislature cannot ignore The
| demands for reform.

JUSTICE FRANCIS ]. SwAYzE, Of
the New Jersey supreme court, is
looked upon by many Jerseyman as
the probable successor of Justice
Henry B. Brown on the bench Of the
supreme court of the United States.
Justice Swayze is recognized as one Of
the ablest jurists of the State, and
when the prospective vacancy in the
supreme court was announced he was
suggested as the probable choice Of
the New Jersey bar in case it should
be decided that the appointment
should be made from this State. For
many years Jerseyman have been dis
posed to feel that their State had a
legitimate claim to representation on
the United States supreme court. 1t
is an admitted fact that President
Harrison practically assured the late
Vice President Garrett A. Hobart and
General William J. Sewell that he
would appoint John w. Griggs, who
subsequently, became governor Of New
Jersey and later attorney general Of
the United States, as member Of the
cabinet of President Mckinley. This
was in 1898, but President Harrison
was constrained to change his decision
on account, as it was then announced,
Of the youthful appearance Of Mr.
GrigQS.

: THERE was long conference yes
terday at Trenton between brewers
and the clergyman over the Bishops
bill The brewers offered a substi-
tute for the Bishops bill, which pro-
vided that no woman should be al
lowed iii any saloon or any back or
sideroom without her husband, father,
brother or some one known to be a
relative. There were also changes in
\, re license feature and a modification
in tn, 2 relations as to the screens. The
stickinc ,roint is still on the screens,
however Tn.ere was enough, of a COM
promise effected, though, to warrant
Mr.. Bradley in taking Ihe substitute
~ -. Frank o, Briggs to see wluaO ne
though of it. The change In we
screen feature was that there should
be no colored glass or ground glass in
the front door windows. They must
have plain glass, through which any
one in the street can see. There is
also provision thai all doors snail pc
taken down between the barroom and
any back room so that man stand
ing at the bar shall have clear view
Of what is going on further back. Mr..
Briggs insisted that the temperance
element should have measure which,
on the whole, should be satisfactory
to them and which the public should
approve. He has pursued the same
course he took in the taxation fight.
Briggs, who is already practically sat-
isAed with the compromise substitute
expects to have the consent of all par
ties before noon to-day, and then it
win be introduced

WE have received from the head
quarters in New York an invitation to
attend conference in the new audi
forum. Newark, on the goth inst, to
organize the true democracy Of New
Jersey. After setting forth that po-
litical affairs in New Jersey are COM
pletely dominated by corporation in
fiuence. Party principles have been
trampled under foot, party honor has
been bartered for corporation pelf,
party banners have been trailed in the
filth of political corruption" 1t says;
Bad as is the condition; forbidding
as the situation appears from that con-
dition, out of that situation may yet
arise the grandest temple OF political
freedom, honor and purity ever seen in
our beloved state. 1t has been said
that when things get thoroughly
bad they will right themselves, = i'm
plying that, in public affairs, there is
a point in the decline al which the
people will revolt, and inspired by the
spirit OF honor and pride will rally at
the call Of duty and check the down
ward course. We believe that New
Jersey has reached that point"
We shall have to deny ourselves the
pleasure of attendance at the conven-
tion, as it will be simply waste Of
time and energy. There is nothing in
the history Of the Democratic party in
the State or Nation in the last fifty
years to lead one to hope for reform
from that source. The Republican
party, on the.contrary, has shown it,
self always ready to take up new meas
ures and carry them to completion and
when, as all parties are liable to cor
ruption creeps in the party is able to
reform itself. Our Democratic friends
are mistaking the signs of the times.
The people are not ready to go back to
Democratic times because prosperity
has brought extravaganza and reckless
ness in some quarters.

TROLLEY MEETING.
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAaE. |

RockaWay merchants had not suffered
through the Dover connection. He
did not think that the line to Newark
would take many from Morristown.
The fare would not be so much less
than the steam road anyway.
J. Fl. B. Coriell asked if the COM
pany has franchises to Morristown
from Rockaway. Mr.. Foote replied
that the company is building on a
private right Of way from Rockaway
and has an application in Hanover
township.
Q. B. Smith asked for further in
formation as to how the company
proposes to get out of Morristown,
but Mr.. Foote said that was not def
nitely settled.
Emil Hurting said he wanted the
board to forsee the Public Service Cor
poration and secure proper compensa-
tion from them. He believed in help
ing outa fellow citizen, but does not
WanU 10 give valuable rlgnUS TO
strangers.
Mr.. Kellogg stated that further re-
search is being made by the Civic AS
ISOLATION.
Alderman Mowery introduced a
resolution referring the matter to a
committee to be know as the trolley
committee, consisting of the Mayor,
three aldermen, two representatives
from the Civic Association and two
from the Business Mems Association,
to confer and report with all possible
haste. He said he did not desire to
espape any responsibility, but wanted
all the light possible.
The motion was adopted and the
board adjourned to meet again on
March 21st.

UNDER the salary bill how will the
business Of a sheriff be settled ? AS is
well known sheriffs whose times ex-
pired many years ago are still going on
with sales commenced during their in
cumbency. and only recently a former
sheriff died without estates being set
tied that were in the courts many
years ago. Who is to carry on this
work under the salary system? Will
each sheriff cease his labors with the
expiration Of his term, or will he be
required to wind up affairs begun be-
fore his successor begins his admins
tration? What will become of the
business of the sheriff's Office started
by the retiring official say on the day
preceding the close Of his term?
Perhaps if the salary bill becomes a
law this session something will be
done next year TO make the duties OF
a sheriff explicit on this point. Other
wise he will be obliged to furnish
bonds for eight years to earn his three
years salary.

LEADER HTLLERY reported the linn
tied franchise bill on Wednesday aft
ernoon, and spoke very few words for
it, saying that the members Of the
Senate were familiar with It's provi-
sions, and then Mr.. Colby arose and
said " Mr.. President, | merely wish
to add my blessing" The bill as
adopted by the Senate provides for
granting franchises for a period Of
twenty years unless the people Of the
municipality by popular vote declare
in favor Of granting it for a longer PEI
riod, but in no case shall franchise
be granted for longer period than
forty years. They may also vote to
make it any length between twenty
and forty years The last section Of
the act says that every grant Of fran
chise shall be made for term Of years
ana not in perpetuity. But one Sena-
tor, Lee Of Atlantic county, voted
against the bill.

SENATOR FRELINGHUYSEN's auto
mobile bill came up on second reading
last night. The Senator offered sew
eral amendments. The most import
ant was changing the. word "passen-
ger" to persons, and inserting I" for
hire, pleasure or business" The
others were minor. to correct the
phraseology. These we're all adopted.
Senator Horner offered an amendment
changing the control Of the motor
vehicles from the Secretary of State
to the State Commissioner of Public
Roads. This was opposed by Senator
Frelinghuysen. The amendment was
lost. Senator Horner offered another
amendment eliminating the compen-
sation for the Commissioner Of Motor
Vehicles. Senator Frelinghuysen said
that the revenue from motor vehicles
would be at least 100000, and would
probably reach 800, 1000. This amend
ment was also lost. Senator Jackson
offered the amendment increasing the
compensation of the Commissioner Of
Motor Vehicles from 81, 500 to $1,000,
which was also lost. Senator Horner
offered an amendment providing a
days imprisonment for second viola
tion of the automobile law He said
a fine Of $40 or SIS was nothing to a
man who can pay $4,000 for a machine
and 81 500 for chauffeur. This was
also lost. The committee substitute
was then adopted and passed on second
reading.

Colonel BromweIf will have an enor-

Prealdent Has New Honor.

President Roosevelt has had new
and unexpected honor conferred upon
him. 1t is the naming of a new vari-
city Of Indian gourd 1.-THE Roosevelt
gourd A specimen of this fragrant
vegetable was given to him few
days ago, and the president expressed
the same pleasure at receiving it as if
1t had been of much greater intrinsic
value. The presentation was made by
Rev. II. Il. Lookabill Of Baltimore,
whose father. Alfred LookabiIl of
Charlottesville, Ind. is the greatest
gourd raiser in the world The elder
Lookabill desired the president to have
the first specimen of this new variety
produced by him. The gourd is known
as the sugar bowl variety by reason of
the fact that It is about the same shape
and size as a sugar bowl It has four
armllke projections upon which spoons
can be hung. The present was. to say
the least, a novelty. The grower Of
gourds has produced more varieties
than ever known and makes business
Of experimenting in that direction.

Output Of Gold In Alaska.

Senator Piles of Washington recently
presented at the White House w. IA.
Parsons, president of the Washington
National Bank of Alaska, and Falcon
Joslin, president of the Tanana Mines
railroad, both of Fairbanks, Alaska.
Messrs. Parsons and Joslin made the
trip from Fairbanks to Valdes in the
dead of winter, travelling over the ice
on sleds. They say that the winter
was the coolest in many years.
Mr.. Parsons says that the output of
gold from the gold fields around Fair
banks during the present year will be
between $12,oo0.OO0 and $15,OOOOOO
The export of gold last year amounted
to $7,0OO,000
