RnYALTY IN IRELAND.

England's king and queen are on their
way to Ireland, where they will arrive
tomorrow. Their Majesties will attend
the Dublin Exhibition and carry out a
prearranged program constructed to
please their loyal irish subjects, and, Il
possible, placate the traditional bitter
ness of celt against Saxon in the po-
litical life of Ireland.
Under British institutions the mon
arch is not identified with partisan poll
tics, as the President of the United
States is. Being a hereditary and ir-
removable ruler. his Office in nowise
depends on party. and it reflects the
policy of whatever party may be
in power in the House of Commons,
lust now the Liberal party controls the
councils of the monarch and performs
ministerial acts In his name. and 1t is
in accordance with Liberal party policy
that the king and queen make this visit
TO ireland. z
The failure of the Irish bill projected
by the Liberal ministry has greatly
strained the relations of the Irish Ma
tionalists and English Liberals, If it has
not produced an irreparable rupture.
But King Edward and Queen.Alexandra
will be received In Ireland with all due
courtesy. If not with warmth, and they
need have no apprehension of any perl
or indignity to their persons.

sea. one Spaniard was the equal of
ten Americans in a naval combat. It
is unnecessary to say that the French
admiral afterward had occasion to
overhaul his catechism and make diff
ferent notes of things. A Japanese ad-
miral is now reported to express views
somewhat similar to those of the French
admiral, but in his case the Judgment
is evidently only a bad case Of the
swelled head. 1t would be almost
worth the cost of a war to lake the
concelt out of the Oriental mind.

STATE AND FEDERAL COOPERATION

1t has perplexed the average citizen
to understand why there should be. a
combine of the c~oal-carrying railroads
in this State when the Chancery Court
nae decided in the case Of the lease of
the Central Railroad by the Reading
that the lease was invalid because 1t
involved a monopoly of the coal sup
ply. The Reading Railroad controls
the Central despite hat judicial de-
cision and there is a coal combine of
which the Reading and Central form a
part.
A resolution introduced in the As
sembly last week calls for a joint
committee to confer with President
Roosevelt and other Federal officials
and ascertain in what way the State
can give aid to the Federal govern
ment in the obstruction and abolish
ment of the said anthracite coal mo-
nopoly." This resolution might indeed
be amplifed to authorize the committee
to consult with the Attorney-G General
at Washington to ascertain how and
by what means the State can cooperate
with the Federal government in the de-
struction and adjustment of all trusts
and monopolies that owe their existence
to the laws of New Jersey. Coal is not
the only necessary controlled by a
trust, and the great majority of the
trusts are chartered in New Jersey.

to remain under water without returning

contemporary, the Observer. of Ho-

1t is true that the five members Of the
Assembly Investigating committee rec
commended the consolidation of the
Bureau of Statistics and the State De-
partment of Labor. but the recommen-
dalton was not well advised and the
committee did not give the matter the
thought that came afterwards. At first
glance the consolidation Of the two
departments would seem desirable, as
the duties Of both relate to labor and
Industry. But when these duties are
examined it is found that they conflict
and could not, without injury & State

men to err in Judgment. and In this
case the Assembly committee simply
made its recommendation on general
principles and with the idea h a If con-
solidation was good for other State de-
partments 1t must be good as well for
the departments having duties relating
to labor and industry.

The Legislature is going to Sea Grit next Friday to in
spect the camp. There is reason to fear that the inspection
will be perfunctory. Every member of the Senate and House
ought to spend at least one whole day observing the work done
lby the National Guardsmen there and it would be a revelation
TO them. That is true, too, of all citizens who can find it
convenient to visit Sea Grit. The general public is heartily
welcomed any and every day in the week, and the experience
lis worth the expenditure of some time, trouble and money.

HOW TO 0ET GOOD AND
OTHER GOSSIP.

When we are too lazy, stupid or Indifferent to obtain good
government and compel obedience to the laws, our favonte trick
is to pass some more laws. Then we pat ourselves on the.
back and assume that these laws will enforce themselves.
That is the spirit that has bred the demand for a Jury
Reform Act. Passaic and some other counties ire clamoring for
it. Why Because the Sherifs in these counties don't draw
junes to suit the public. OF course the voters are wholly to-
blame. They have it in their power to elect whomsoever they
please. The calibre, character and affiliations of the candidates
are known and the voters have no business to vote for a man
unless they know him to be thoroughly dependable.

Again. why stick 10 a winter diet when
the thermometer is In the ninety line?
Light meals are better for the system than
heavy ones at such a time. Alcohol, in
any form, is a bad dose for the stomach
when the pavements are softening. For
alcohol Is a fuel and there Is no need of
caloric for the body In June. July or Au-
gust. Drink freely. but temporarily. Tenn
perance In summer Is a matter of quality,
not quantity. Oatmeal water Is the best
beverage for those who are doing manual
labor or exercising vigorously. Acid drinks.
II not too cold, are excellent. Ice-cold
drinks are dangerous when the body Is
heated. They cause a large percentage
Of the cases OF sickness and heat prostrn-
ton. Water straight from the tap quenches
the thirst better than chilled drinks.
All the body raves Is moisture to supply
that which Is discharged in the form of
Precipitation. II Is a serious mistake 10
imagine that this need Is met when the
mouth Is chilled. A parched tongue is a
symptom OF a dry body and the ends of
drinking are not met by merely chilling II.
Move slowly, eat Judiciously and drink
wisely and the summer win bring few I'll
results. whatever the temperature may be.

be relied upon to select the right kind of Grand and Petit Juies,
but that wouldn't do them much good if the dear people were
not fools enough to ratdy their choice. If the voters will
think straight and vote right we shall have Sheriffs who will
not violate their oath of Office, who will not pack jures for
this or that purpose, but who will do their duty in securing
for jury service the ab1est and most impartial men obfainable.
