each with his independent way OF

extraordinary, indeed, If all should be
in perfect harmony The extraordin-

men should hold together on general
principles, year after year, for so many
years.
The Democratic party in New Jer-
sey has In times past been rent into
bitter factions. Its history is one Of
factions. Going back no further than
1883 the reader viii recall the savage
party warfare that followed AbDett's
nomination for Governor, the smuggling
by the Mcpherson and State House
ring" factions. the combats between
the Albeit and anti-Abbett leaders,
and the bitter struggle over the Gu
bernatorial nomination in 1892. The
Democratic party organization has
seemed to thrive on faction fights.
The bolt Of the hard money Demo
Gratis in 1896 was on great principle.
Forty Thousand Democrats refused to
vote for Bryan, and again refused in
1900. That was no faction struggle.
These voters had steadfastly voted
their party Organization tickets
through ever recurring faction fight,
and they turned away from Bryan be-
cause they believed that his financial
doctrine was undemocratic and de-
structive.
Republicans can claim to possess as.
much Of the virtue of constancy to
party principles and candidates as
Democrats exhibit. And they have
had their factional squabbles in the
past, too. They had a serious one last
year, and while in the two largest
counties Of the State the "organiza-
zion" candidates met with defeat In
the party primaries it was the organ

FOX CONsTABLEs +:
JAMES Fl. BRANT,
MUNSON KENT.

THE Democrats Of this District ask
for tariff revision in order to control
trusts. President Roosevelt says in
regard to this matter: 1--WE stand
nnequivocally for protective tariff,
and we feel that the phenomenal in
dustrial prosperity which we are now
enjoying is not lightly to be jeopar-
died for it would be to the last de-
gree foolish to secure here and there a
small benefit at the cost Of general
business depression. But whenever a
given rate or schedule becomes evil
IDENTIFY disadvantageous to the nation,
because of the changes which go on
from year to year in our conditions,
and where it is feasible to change this
rate or schedule without too much dis
location Of the system, it will be done ;
while general revision Of the rates
and schedules will be undertaken
whenever it shall appear to the sober
business sense of our people that, on
the whole, the benefits to be derived
from making such changes will out
weigh the disadvantages that is,
when the revision will do more good
than harm. Let me add one word of
caution, however. The question Of
revising the tariff stands wholly apart
from the question Of dealing with the
so-called trusts that is, with the
control Of monopolies and with the
supervision of great wealth in bust
ness, especially in corporate form. The
only way in which it is possible to deal
with those trusts and monopolies and
this great corporate wealth is by ac-
tion along the line Of the laws enacted
by the present Congress and its imme-
date predecessors. The cry that the
problem can be met by any changes in
the tariff represents, whether con-
sciously or unconsciously, an effort to
divert the public attention from the
only method Of taking effective ac-
tion.

OUR Democratic friends are con
stant # not consistent in their solicit
tude for their opponents. During the
campaign preceding the primaries
they gave all SORTS of encouragement to
the NEW idea people, telling them
what a noble thing it was to be indie
pendent and rise above party bosses
and reform the party, etc Now that
the primaries are over they are very
solicitous about the regularity of the
candidates and especially in regard to
Republican nominee for the mayoralt y
Alexander Bennell, who they say was
a Bryan Democrat. This might be
worthy of consideration if it was SO,
which it is not, as Mr.. Bennett has
been a Republican for forty years and
more, reserving the right of ali good
citizens to vote independently if oc-
Iclsion required in local affairs. AS
the purpose Of electing Mayor is to
secure to the town good executive
officer we cannot believe that any
good citizen will be led to change his
vote because of what some interested
Democrat may say in regard to a Re
publican candidates politics. Mr..
Bennell has been resident Of the
town for twenty years carrying on a
successful business, and besides found
time to give much attention to other
matters for the benefit Of the town.
He was the mover in the matter of
getting concrete walks around the
park and has covered two sides and
only ceased his efforts upon the assur-
ance that the matter would be taken
up by other parties. In the Fourth
of July celebrations and in other ways
he has shown his public spirit, and his
only object in accepting the nominal
tion for Mayor is to give to the town
the same practical business admins
tration that he gave to bis business.
And that is just what we want.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.


At the session OF 1905 the Legisla-
ture authorized the Governor to ap-
point commission of FIVE persons to
consider and recommend constitution.
al amendments to better the conduct
of Judicial business. That commits
! sion, consisting Of e1-Judge Van Syck-
lie, ex-Gov. Griggs, Charles L. Corbin,
John r. Hardin and ex-Gov. Murphy,
devised a scheme, which however was
not submitted TO the legislature by
Gov. Stokes.
1t was carefully considered by a
meeting Of the Bar Association at At
lantic City last week and after full
discussion was approved with suhstan-
tial unanimity. The changes pro-
posed by these amendments are briefly
as follows:
The county conrts retain all their
present jurisdiction, and are given, in
addition, the same Jurisdiction which
the circuit courts now exercise. The
judges of the Supreme Court are made
members of this court to sit with the
Regularly appointed county judge.
The jurisdiction of the present
Court of Appeals and Supreme Court
and Court OF Chancery and Preroga-
tive Court is vested in a single Su-
preme Court with three divisions
quite separate from each other in
their practical workings
First, an Appellate division having
all the appellate jurisdiction Of the
present court of appeals and all that
of the Prerogatiye Court and the pres
emit Supreme Court.
Second, a Law division of the Su-
preme Court which will exercise all
the jurisdiction Of the present Su-
preme Court except its appellate juris-
diction and it's members win hold
court in the several counties for which
they will have time because not occu-
pied with appellate business.
Third, the Chancery division of the
Supreme Court, which will exercise
the same Jurisdiction precisely as is
now exercised by the present court Of
Chancery.
Each division win have its own
clerk and separate offices and will in
effect be separate courts.
The only practical difference being
that cause may be transferred from
the Chancery division to the Law di-
vision and from the Law division to
the Chancery division. This practice
will relieve suitors from the danger
more fanciful then real-of bringing
an action in the wrong court. The
judges of the county court are forbid
den to practice law.
The advantage of this system will
be that the court of appeals can hold
a term every month or say ten terms
a year and be in continual session en-
gagged exclusively ia appellate work.
There will be but one appeal and that
directly to the Appellant Court.
The judges Of the Law division will
be able to go into every county and as
sist in the trial of all important
causes. and the Chancery division
can proceed to dispose of its bust
ness as it has heretofore done,
and If the judicial force Of the Chan
Gerry division is sufficient the judge
can 90 into any city or town where
convenient room can be
found and so accommodate the parties
and their witnesses.

THE Democrats Of the Fifth Con
gressional District have left no uncer-
tainty ID regard to their position on
national affairs. They come out fat
footed for tariff reform and thereby
show that they have learned nothing
since they were carried into Office on
that issue twelve years ago to the very
serious detriment Of the country
Surely no one intelligent enough to
cast a vote but what remembers the
disastrous results of tariff tinkering by
President CLEVELAND and his free trade
congress, and but comparatively few
will vote for repetition Of the exper-
fence. Their other declarations were
mere platitudes, and when compared
with the straightforward declarations
Of the Republican platform adopted at
their convention appear very trivial.
or courSeseveryone understands that
if there had been the slightest hopes Of
carrying the district Mr.. MARITIME
would rot have been chosen as stand
ard bearer AS it is it pleases him and
amuses others to have him nominated
on every possible occasion. and so
for the next month he will add to the
gaieties Of nations by going about the
district working his vocal organs with
out regard to eight hour law.
