WING the Quiet boy Waited.

An old gentleman. rather portly and
clad in a somewhat youthful suit of
light gray flannel, sat on a bench in
the park enjoying the spring day.
What's the matter, sonny?" he asked
a small urchin who lay on the grass
Just across the walk and stared in
tently. WHY don't you go and play?'
Don't wanter," the boy replied.
But 1t is not natural" the old gen.

quiet. Why don't you run about?"

Before the court of public opinion a prima facie case of
gross negligence has already been made out against the man
ayers. Possibly they may have some plausible defense, but, If
so, they are probably reserving it for use before the criminal
courts. There Is, of course, no desire to prejudice in advance
the merits of the indictments likely to be returned by the Mer-
Ger County Grand Jury, but the citizens of New Jersey don t
want those managers to remain in charge of the asylum one
minute longer than is necessary to put them out and choose
their successors. All their resolutions and assertions and WRIT
Gus posing are of no avail. The best service that they can do
themselves and the State is to go and not to hesitate upon the
order of their going.

ASYLUM MANAGERS RESERVATIONS ARE IN oRDER-sENAToR
EoRAkEPs CANDIDACY. &C. &C.

Judge Vroom and his associate managers of the Trenton
insane asylum surely think that the people of New Jersey are
a lot of omadhauns. That seems the only exphcabie explana-
ton of their conduct in bouncing Medical Director Ward in such
a vicious and vengeful way, and trying, at the same time, to
create the impression that he had deceived them in regard t
the murder in the asylum. 1t won't work. DIR. Ward outived
his usefulness at the institution long ago, and if the managers
had been attending to their business they'd have recognized this
long ago and taken proper action.

there needs overhau1ing, and searching inquiry into the contracts

Sound the loud tmbrels Ger PASSAGES dark sea Clang
the cymbals, beat the big drum Awake the Jerseys with the
news that that shy, gentle and fawn-ike philosopher, Joseph
Benon Foraker, has been coaxed into a declaration that he
will permit the Republicans of the United States to nominate
him for the Presidency
Not in many a day has such glad tdings come over the
land. His calm, judicial temperament, his clamorous love of
peace, his unfailing obedience to the Biblical injunction to turn
the other cheek to the smiter, and the sweet and soothing
vocabulary, which Is peculiarly his own, mark him as the man
for the time. The phrase about pouring oil on the troubled
waters would lose its meaning under a Foraker administration
because there couldn't be any troubled waters with him al
the helm.

s Senator Forakers platform? Oh, he's a platform in him
self. If, however, dull, prosaic folk with a fussy appetite for
details and specifications want something more, why, then, the
apostle of gentleness can frame up a programme built on these
lines:
"Raus NIT Roosevelt Touch not the Tariff Give the
poor Trusts a show Blessed are the campaign contributors,
for they are the salt of the earth /"
On that platform Senator Foraker would sweep the country.
He could count on every electoral vote, and a few more. The
Democrats, Prohibitonhts and Socialists might possibly be FOOL
ish enough to follow the usual custom of making nominations
but the probability is that they would be sensible and gracious
enough not to do anything of the kind.
In case the wicked politicians refuse to bow to the popular
will and nominate somebody else, the Senator ought to run as
an independent candidate. J. M.

task of ascertaining the qualifications
of those who signed the petitions re-
questing the county commissioners to
call a special wet" and dry" cleo
ton; but up to last night he mad made
little progress, and does not be-
heve that he will be able to present
the commissioners with a certificate
Friday night, stating the number of
qualified voters who have their names
attached to the petitions
The supervisor is experiencing
much difficulty in ascertaining
whether or not the signers are regis
tered voters, as required by law. Hun
dreds of the parties attaching their
signatures did not state in what pre-
cinct they reside, and the result is
that in some instances it is neces-
sary to go through the registration
list of each of the many precincts to
find his name.
The supervisor yesterday made a
count of the number of registered vo-
tiers of the county, and found that
there are 1904. According to this the
petition for a special election must
contain the signatures of 924 regis
tered voters

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 14.-The

the Southern, Frisco and other rail
ways in putting into effect the lower
passenger and freight tariffs Sept I,
but on the contrary, will fight the

The Louisville and Nashville is not
under the ban of the law because it
has not violated any law and
is prevented against putting the new
tariff into effect by the injunction
granted by Judge Jones of the federal
court in March. This injunction the
Southern had modified at its own re-
quest in order to make peace with
the state.
The deterrent element in the
Louisville and Nashville situation is
that if it insists upon the present tar

as the competitive Southern Railway

tariffs This loss would be especially
heavy between Birmingham and Mo-

Probable That Other Roads
Will Have to Fix
Rates.
SOMETHING INTERESTING Is Ex-
PECTED TO DEVELOP BEFORE
THE END OF THE WEEK INTHE
r. r. SITUATION.

In a special letter to the Mobile
Register from Montgomery it is said
that there will be something more
doing in the railroad situation in the
next few days. Just when the action
will come is not given out, but it is
plainly Indicated that there is some
thing on the way. The impression
prevails that the other roads will have
to come into the same agreement
made by the Southern, the Alabama
Great Southern, the Mobile and Ohio
and the Frisco.
A man who is well posted says that
Governor Conner has intimated to at
torneys for the other systems that he
thinks it folly for them to longer re-
main out; that he does not want to
bring about any unpleasant question
with regard to jurisdiction of courts:
but he does expect that as the lines
mentioned have agreed to keep the
laws of the state others should fall in
line and prevent further controversy
1t is argued that the authorities will
not allow part of the roads to make
the sacrifice to comply with the new
acts without trying in every way pos
sjble to force the others to do so.
A leader of the administration was
asked if there was anything in the
suggestion that the governor had let
the attorneys of the outside lines
know that he expected them to accept
the same terms as others. He said
that he did not know, but thought the
man who made the suggestion had a
level head, as if indicating that he was
on the right line The same man also
let it be known that he thought the
whole matter might be brought to a
head by the end of the week.
What the Governor Said.
When asked if there was anything
new in the situation with regard to the
railroads, Governor Conner replied in
the negative. He said, however, that
he expected those lines which had not
done so to come in and accept the
terms that were accepted by che other
roads. He. believed they would in
short time. That was as much as he
would say about the subject at this
time, and with that he seemed to be
talking rather as to what he expected
to happen rather than what he had a
mind to try and bring about.
The acceptance of the terms of the
state by the Frisco system and the
Alabama Great Southern has been d
source of pleasure to the governor.
Of the former he has sent the follow
ing telegram to the attorney of the
road, E. K. Campbell, of Birmingham:
Your telegram advising the Frisco's
acceptance of the states passenger
and commodity laws received. Thank
you for your good Offices and kindly
extend thanks and appreciation to your
company. l am sure that the conces-
sion will work for their best interests
as well as those of the state"
