DEFTNrNe THEIR POSITIONS.

Judge Fort in his speech at New
Brunswick last night made his posi-
ton clear on the excise question. He
also entered fully into the question of
a Public Utilities Commission and
favored a rate-making power only with
the right of appeal to the courts, which
power to fix the rates. There was
passed by the Republican Senate a
Public Utilities bill which had been
framed by a special committee and
was virtually, although not deelaredly,
a Republican measure. Tit party cam
didate for Governor sustains the prin-
ciple of that bin.
On the other hand, Mr.. Katzenbach,
speaking at Chatham and Dover last
night, while reserved on the excise
question, said that he did not favor
empowering a commission to make rate
regulations. In this he is substantially
In accord with Judge Fort. inc not
with his party representatives in the
Legislature.
But if the present Legislature shall
enact a bill satisfactory in its provi-
sions, the next Governor will not have
the question on his hands. If a proper
bill shall not be enacted the question
will be an al1-absorbing one at the
next legislative session, and the atti-
tude of the two candidates for Gov
ernor is consequently of great impor-
lance. In fact, this question may as
sumo great prominence in the election
OF members of the Legislature.

CLEANLINESS AND eoDL1NEss.

A Turkish bath company that set up
an establishment in the city of Trenton
is said to be financially embarrassed
AS cleanliness is next to godliness, the
managers of the company justly reason
that a town like Trenton with a repu-
tation for godliness, especially On a
Sunday, was a town for cleanliness,
and, accordingly, that it was a good
field for the Turkish bath business.
But it seems that the managers were
mistaken. They have not received
enough patronage to pay expenses, al
though their accommodations are rea-
sonable in price. and, as a local
chronicler remarks, ARE surpassed by
none in the country in arrangement,
fittings, conveniences, accessibility and
administration 1t is possible, as the
same chronicler says, "a little more
local pride is what is needed" But
then why the suggestion to the Trenton
Common Council that in view of the
failure of the Turkish bath experiment
the Council will be entirely justified in
ignoring the agitation for public
baths?"

LUsITANIA THE QUEEN.

THE Lusitania is now the queen of
the Atlantic with a record of 4 days,
10 hours and 40 minutes. she has
smashed all previous records and re-
duced the Deutschland to the rank and
file of ocean flyers, making the best
time in a twenty-four hours stretch
and the fastest trip across the Atlantic.
How long she will remain queen de-
ponds on the performance of the
Mauritania, which is o o to make her
maiden voyage. and is said to have de-
veloped greater powers of speed. But
the primacy of the Atlantic has been
wrested by England from Germany.
And the great American nation looks
on at this commercial competition be-
tween steamship lines plying to and
from an American port with about
the same grace as would some Latin
American state.

NO HONOR AMONG THIEVES.

There is an old saying that there is
honor among thieves, but it doesn't
seem to be true of thieves who are
higher up. The Philadelphia capital
lists who were in the Metropolitan Sc
curities Company, and who each re-
ceived a share of the S715,000 stolen
from the treasury of the company, nov
declare hat what they received was
in repayment of loans of 500, 900 each
to William c. Whitney. In other
words. that Mr.. Whitney plundered the
treasury Of the company to pay his
private debts.
1t is easy now for these men to in
vent the fiction of a loan to give color
to that transaction. But then, how tx
plain the fact that Ryan and Whitney
each received exactly the same sum-, to
a penny, that the three Philadelphia
capitalists got? The Philadelphia
finaneiers were in consultation with
their lawyers yesterday for two hours
before they gave out that statement.

ELECTIVE on AppO1NT1vE BOARD.

Not the least important question to
be settled in the coming election in
Newark Is hat of a new organization
for the Board of Education. Long ex-
p%erience With the elective board of two
commissioners from each ward has
demonstrated to the satisfaction of
every intelligent citizen that that plan
of school government is a failure. The
board is too unwieldy. too sectional
and too carelessly selected. Nominated
in ward primaries. its members are not
chosen for their knowledge of educa-
tIonal affairs or with any particular
reference to their character. And they
are voted for in about the same way.
Considering the vast Importance of the
interests that are committed to the
care of the Board of Education and the
nature of the duties imposed upon its
members, IL might be expected that the
people who own the schools, and whose
children attend the schools, would be
~scrupulously careful in selecting the
men to manage the schools. But there
Is evidence enough that they do not
exercise that necessary care. A small
board of not more than nine members,
selected by appointment of the Mayor,
and removable for cause, would be a
great Improvement upon the present
plan of school government. The people
will vote upon this question in the next
election, and it is to be hoped they will
not repeat the blunder of a previous
election, in which the proposition for a
small appointive board was voted
down..

HuNeARY,s POLITICAL PROBLEM.

The Hungarian Parliament convened
Yesterday at Budapest under extraordi-
nary circumstances. In accordance
with a preconcerted plan all factories
and shops were closed and there were
efsat popular demonstrations in the
cities and towns of Hungary for uni
versal suffrage, the object being to inn
press the Parliament with a due sense
OF the popular wishes.
In Hungary the electorate is virtually
confined to the Magyar proprietors of
the soil, and they make the laws and
rule the nation. which is only one-half
Magyar. Workingmen are entirely dis
f%ranchised. Medievalism has fingered
longer Ia Hungary than in any other
country. The races subject to the
dominant Magyars are denied equal
rights under the laws. and this has en-
gendered race hatreds that blaze fierce
~ up upon every provocation.
It may be said of Austria-Hungary,
indeed, that 1t is a seething cauldron of
race ~antagonisms that only awaits the
death of Emperor Francis Joseph to
boil up to overlooking, to make havoc OF
the ancient empire. But the Hun
garian Parliament is likely to make
some concessions to the popular dis
content. The aristoeratic class in
W. must see the drift of things and
be disposed to yield something of then
political power to avert the greater
evils that threaten them.

MILDLY CHARACTERIZED.

Speaking of the jobbery shown up in
the purchase of supplies for the State
Hospital for the Insane, at Trenton, the
True American of that town makes this
mild comment: The board of man
ayers of the Trenton asylum permitted
some of their number to monopolize
certain lines of patronage of that in
stitution. Is his honest?" The True
American would use an altogether diff
ferent Characterization If the hospital
happened to be located in Newark or
Jersey City. and If two of the man
ayers were not residents of Trenton.
But is it not a fact that Manager Rice,
whose two sons and sons-in-law were
the purveyors of hospital supplies at
prices from so to 100 per cent. higher
than the management could have OBJ
tanned by competition, is still a mem

The report that comes from South
Jersey that the cranberry crop will be
short because the berries have been
nipped by frost must be taken with
large allowances. This is, we believe.
the first time that the claim has been
made OF a shortage of cranberries on
account of frost. That excuse has
served year after year to boost up he
prices of peaches and strawberries.
The cranberry grows in the Dogs of
South Jersey and is a hardy fruit, but,
like everything else that comes to the
table, the output and sale Of eranber-
ries are controlled by a combination.
