OBITUARY.
SAMUEL HAMMOND.

Samuel Hammond, lifelong resi-
dent Of Boonton and among the oldest
residents, died on Friday at his home
after an illness of about month. Mr..
Hammond belonged to one of the first
families that settled in Boonton. His
father and mother, with their two
children, Enoch and Thomas Ham
mond, came from England, and settled
there in 1926, when the place had but
half dozen houses. Samuel Ham
mond was born in Boonton seventy
four years ago. He, with his other
two brothers, went to work in the iron
mills there when they started, and
they continued working in them, as
superintendent of the various depart
ments, until the mills we're closed in
the panic of 1875 Shortly after the
mills closed Mr. Hammond secured a
position with the Standard Oil Com
pany, and during the remaining years
of his life represented that company

TnE Presidents message. which was
submitted to Congress on Tuesday was
the longest document Of the kind
written by any President. A synop-
sis Of the message appears in this is
sue. 1t deals mainly with matters Of
domestic concern, there being abso-
lutely no menacing foreign complica-
tions of any kind to engage the atten-
tion Of the Executive, the Congress or
our country. The only question in
yolving our foreign relations about
which our government need just now
to have the least solieitude, since the
Cuban troubles were adjusted, is that
which concerns the treatment Of the
japanese BY the people Of San Fran
cisco, a trouble which, though local
lied, is one with which our treaty OBJ
legations compel the Federal govern
ment to deal, and our friendly rela-
tions with Japan and the enormous
present and prospective interests Of
our Oriental trade admonish US to
settle without delay, as the President
suggests, with the same fairness OF
treatment that we should use in deal
ing with Germany, France, England
or any other nation Of our own COM
plexion and kindred. The President
discusses this question with charac-
teristic fearlessness and equity. and
his powerful plea for a square dealN
for Japan can hardly fail to bring a
speedy and mutually satisfactory solu-
tion Of a problem that ought not to
be difficult one outside the atmos-
phere Of San Francisco. BY far the
most important topic Of domestic in
terest which the President discusses
is the relation Of the Federal govern
ment to corporate abuses and combi-
nations in restraint of trade. 1t is
evident that Mr.. Rooseyelt's admins
tration having put its hand to the
pillow in this field of reform has no
thought of turning back, but means
to keep straight ahead until all the
evils Of this kind which the Federal
government has power under the con
stitution TO deal with are removed.
The treatment of the subject Of lynch
ing in the message is another example
Of faultless reasoning. The same may
be said of the Presidents discussion
of the relations between labor and
capital

TIE POLITICAL SITUATION AT
TRENTON.

The political situation in Trenton
is about the same, as this will be the
last year Of Senator Minch's second
term. he is anxious to be President Of
the Senate. Senator Hillery. who was
floor leader last winter, is entitled BY
precendent to the Senate presidency,
and is in every way the best man for
the position The contest for the
Office, while friendly, will be exceed
ingly interesting. sThe feeling that
John r. Dryden will be elected to sue
coed himself as United States Senator
has spread to a marked degree within
the past week, says the State Gaz-
ette Men who figured out that he
could not possibly win, now express
doubts and admit that he may pull
through because it is the consensus of
opinion that he can control the eau
Gus. Ifhe has the caucus, it is rea-
soned there will not be enough boilers
to defeat him as the party candidate.
The fact that there are no avowed
Republican candidates for his place
gives his friends every confidence that
he will win out
In the House, Senator Smiths man
for tine speakership is Assemblyman
Holcombe Of Hunterdon county, ac-
cording to the reports heard about the
capitol For the majority leadership
in the House, the name of Assembly,
man-elect Kleinert, Of Passaic, is
prominently mentioned and he may
getthe place. The plan seems to be to
give the two important offices to conn
ties outside of Essex and Hudson and
then to divide most of the positions
between these two counties. There
are about forty offices in all to be filed
by the Democrats. Ii Essex, Passaic,
Hunterdon, Warren and Sussex scoun-
ties combine against Hudson as has
been proposed a different slate may be
made up. This would probably place
Assemblyman Firth, of Warren coun-
ty, in the speakers chair and give him
former Senator Lewis j. Martin, Of
Sussex, for his private secretary. A
considerable boom has been launched
for ex-Speaker Tom Flynn, of Pas
sale, the race track starter, as clerk of
the House, as his knowledge of legis-
latiye matters would be valuable to
the Democratic majority.

U. ). SENATOR BY DInEor.yorE

New Jersey will be represented at
the Des Moines Senatorial Convention,
which assemblies on Wednesday and
which will be the first OF it's kind ever
held in the United States. More than
$50 delegates appointed by the Cover
nors Of twenty-nine States will be in
attendance to discuss the matter Of
an amendment to the Constitution
providing for the election of United
States Senators by direct vote of the
people.
What will be accomplished at this
convention toward making compulsory
in every State the method voluntarily
adopted in one-third of the States re
mains TO be seen. The question is one
however, of much interest and the
proceedings of the Des Moines gather
ing will attract much attention.
The movement is by no means a re-
cent one, although crystallization Of
public sentiment has been rapid o.
late years. 1t is interesting to note
that the subject was first agitated ii
1857, by James Wilson, Of Pennsyl
vania, the signer of the Declaration Of
Independence, whose body was recent
ly removed to Philadelphia and rein
TERED with impressive ceremonies
Wilson was one Of the ablest constitu
tional lawyers of his day. In a con
vention in 1887 he made d motion tx
give the election of Senators to the
people, but no State besides Pennsyl
vanla voted for it.
Hardly a session of Congress passes
without one or more attempts to pass
such an amendment. Six such resolu.
lions we're offered in both the Forty
ninth and Fiftieth Congresses. One
of these; introduced by Mr.. Townsend
of Illinois, December q, 1885, gives ir
the preamble as reason for the pro
posed change that the Senate is nov
attempting TO interfere with the pow,
er of the President to remove Off
cials." This resolution was the result
of the sharp contest then at it's height
between President Cleveland and The
Senate in regard to suspensions anC
nominations.
No less than fifteen States now have
Senatorial candidates voted for al
elections, the peoples action being
subsequently ratified by the Legis
lature.

MIR. GRIswoLD's suggestions to the

appointment Of a building inspector
was timely, and if under the law the
board can make such an appointment
it should be done. The insurance

until they have become a burden. The

shows Morristown to be one Of the
