THE CITY ELECTION.
No Talk Of Candidates and no Plan
If CAMPAIGN Decided Upon.


II is only four weeks from next
Tuesday until the city election pnd
yet we have not heard OF an avowed
candidate for q single Office. Is it
possible that Montpelier citizens
have oil become TOO modest To let
their political wants become known
From present indications II seems
quite probable that partisan lines
will be obliterated and two non-par.
tisan tickets will be placed in the
field. AS far as the Examiner is
concerned, il would prefer TO see
the election conducted on partisan
lines, bat as sentiment seems 20 he
divided on this point aud as there
are none among the republicans,
favorlng partisan tickets. who ap-
pear TO want to take the lead in the
matter, IL looks a. though the old
method of nominating candidates
would prevail.
In the event that the tickets are
so nominated, wc trust that those
who participate IN the conventions
will endeavor to have representative
men nominated FOR the several of.
fees. Men who are progressive yet
conservative; men who, ~ mayo
and councIlmen, can and will look
after the ciiy's interests IN a careful
manner.

years ago it was torn By iuteri al
strife such as would have stopl ed
development for century among
any people with less vitality than
the Americans, these staggering
totals of millions and billions are
all the more wonderful. The south.
which suffered so greatly IN that
struggle. had an estimated wealth in
1860 of little over IS, 900, 900, 900,
the most of which was wiped out by
the war. 1t would be hard to con.
ceive of any people suffering
greater reverse, yet look at the
present wealth of the eleven states
which seeded. They have not
only recovered their own, but have
doubled and trIpled their former
wealth, including even the estimate
of the value of their slaves. Few
people know that the state of Texas
is now providing one-fourth OF the
cotton supply of the world.
We paid more than half billion
dollars to run the machinery of the
federal government last year, but
when the final balances were struck,
the taxes collected were over twenty
five millions In excess of the expen-
ditures. Although our treasury is
bulging with wealth, If congress
should pass an inheritance tax law,
such as the president favors, the
bulk of the great fortunes Of cur
millionaircs would eventually revert
to the government. Under such q
law the United States would receive
about half billion dollars from the
Rockefeller estate alone. This reg.
ulation to control swollen fortunes,
by making them revert to the state,
would give us funds to prosecute
such schemes for public improve
ment as would dwarf the most pre-
tentious creations of all the builders
of history.
Even as it is, our national wealth
has already scared higher than the
lmaginings of the most sanguine OF
our early optimists. TO what ex
tent it will yet go even the most
astute OF living men can only con-
lecture. Let us look TO the future
course we shall pursue, lest we be
come van of our riches and quickly
go to the way of the Caesars, who
fell in to decay and disrepute on &C
coun. of the boards they gathered
about them.
Let us hope that we shall "wist
for no victories but those of peace
for no territory except the sovereign
ty over ourselves" If we can g
on massing wealth and still adhere
to these admirable principles so re
Gently uttered by our eminen

SCORES STOKES
ALDEN FREEMAN TALKS ON
BLOOMFIELD LETTERS.
Independent Candidate Goes for Fort
and Governor With Hammer
and Tongs.

Taking the correspondence that
passed between Governor Stokes 'and
Charles A. Bloomfield, of Metuchen,
published intoday's EVENING STAR.
as a basis, Alden Freeman, of the In
dependent Citizens party, at a noon
day meeting held at the Westinghouse
factory in Orange street, went at John
Franklin Fort, the Republican nominee,
hammer and tongs. He admonished
his hearers to keep away from the Re-
publican party which furnished such
an executive as Governor Stokes and
such a candidate as Mr.. Fort.
He went into a severe arraignment
OF the Republican party. telling the
voters that at this time. perhaps more
than any other, thought before cast
ing the ballot was required. He re-
peated all he has hitherto said about
Mr.. Fort.
Rupert D. Griffith and $. Rowland
Munroe also spoke. The former at
length dealt with what he styled the
deception of the Republican nominee.
Mr.. Munroe outlined the platform OF
the Independent party. He explained
fully the party's plan for the installa-
ton of public comfort stations.

SPEAKS ON

Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON, Nov. LIN an interview
given out this afternoon. Governor
Stokes tells the facts leading UP to his
placing his signature on the Perth AM
boy bridge bill. He contends that the
connection of John Franklin Forts
name with the bill. as advertised by
Charles H. Bloomfield, of Metuchen,
grew out of a judicial opinion which he
rendered in the premises. The Gov
ernor contends that the bill Vlsa bit of
curative legislation.
He says:
1.-The Perth Amboy bridge bill was a
measure thoroughly discussed in the Legis-
lature and In the public press. 1t was a
curative measure TO validate bonds issued
in connection with the construction of the
bill came before me l carefully examined
1t and took pains to get every source of
information possible as to the propriety
and merit of the measure"
Il would never sign any bill knowingly
that grants immunity to w~rongdoers. or
that saves them from the consequences OF
their wrongful acts. l took specitl pains
in this case TO ascertain whether this bill
contained provisions that would enable any
wrongdoer to escape.
THAT was a legal question and l sub
mitted it for that reason to the Attorney
assured me on this point. The Attorney
General was, of course, not passing upon
the merits of the bill, and had not interest
in the matter other than to give me advice
on questions of law.
1.-The connection of Judge Forts name
with the measure grew out of a judicial
opinion which he rendered. In that opinion
he suggested the need of curative legisla-
ton in connection with the Perth Amboy
bridge. This was the basis for the state
ment that the bill was drawn In accord
ance with the suggestion of Judge Fort,
and that he thought the bill should be APP
proved.
Judge Fort had no interest in the mat
ter. and my consultation with different
individuals on the subject was merely to
get the best light and Information possible.
n cannot be interpreted to evidence any
interest on the part of those individuals In
the bill or be made the basis of an asser-
ton that they asked me to sign it.
II reached the conclusion that the bill
was a proper one. l signed IL upon Its
merits, after a careful investigation, and
/ am responsible for that signature.
This is a brief statement of the case.
and the attempt to give such interpreta-
ton to incidents In connection with the
consideration of the bill as will serve
political and partisan ends is an abuse of
he merits of the matter and a contro-
versy into which 1 shall not enter"

THE GOVERNORS POWER.
Correspondent Quotes Mr.. Forts Opinion
Given as a Judge.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
J.. Franklin Fort, the Republican eandi-
date for Governor has declared: Il stand
for the Bishops bill and all that 1t i'm
plies, and If elected Governor will see that
1t is fully enforced"
He also saio that If elected Governor he
would mot permit the Bishops law to be
repealed"
When he made those declarations. Fort
knew that II the voters Of New Jersey
elect next Tuesday a majority of the MEM
beers of the Legislature to modify OF repeal
the Bishops law. and that majority shall
pass a repeater Of the law all the Governor
could do is to veto It. Then the majority
of the Legislature would pass the repeater
over his veto by a majority vote.
Fort said as Justice Fort Of the Supreme
Court, when argument on the constitution
atty of the Screen provision of the
Bishops law was heard by him and Jus
tees Reed and Trenchard. and Fort de-
livered the opinion of the Court:
'The Legislature. so long as 1t keeps
within Its constitutional prerogatives, Is,
upon such questions, supreme. II the legis-
lation is Objectionable on questions of
political polity the Legislature must be
looked to to remedy 1t. This is not within
the province of this court
Did Fort as Justice Fort tell the truth?
Did he as Candidate Fort lie in order TO
deceive those ~clergymen and church and
Temperance people who want the Bishops
law maintained and enforced?
K~atzenbach, the Democratic candidate
for Governor. was honest with the people,
told them the truth, when he said Of
Kruger Auditorium that II the people
elected a majority of the Legislature he
would abide by the will Of the majority OF
the voters of the State as expressed by
the Legislature. He knows, as Fort
knows, that the only power n Governor has
over a bill is veto power, and that a ma
jority in the Legislature will override a
veto Of any bill or repeater.
And editors who declare in their edi-
torials that should Fort be elected Gov
ernor he would prevent n modification or
repeal OF the Bishops law. deliberately de-
ceive their readers, and every judge and
lawyer in New Jersey knows it is so. The
personal OPINION of Fort and Katzenbach
en- the Bishops law doesn't amount to a
hill of beans, for as Fort said In his opin-
ion In the Supreme Court, on excise ques-
lions the Legislature is supreme and II
any excise Legislation is Objectionable OH
political polity the Legislature must be
looked to TO remedy it"
The opinion OF Fort was given in the case
of Hugh Mahan against the Jersey City
Excise Commissioners, which was GER
tioraried up to the Supreme Court to test
the oonstitutionality of the Screen pro-
visions OF the Bishops law. M.

and allow Frank s.. Katzenbach,

2,4b0 majority from Hunterdon, Hud-
son, Sussex and Warren counties. The
total plurality, they calculate for Mr..
Fort, is 3 $4,000, leaving Fort the num-
Der claimed.
During the receipt of the reports con-
sideration Of the attitude of the COM
muter vote in this State and the great
army of independent voters was had
at some length. 1t was the consensus
of opinion that the feeling of commuters
against the Republican party because
of its alleged corporation influences.
would be offset by moral questions that
the Republican party a brought to
the fore during this campaign.
They figured, too, that the independ-
ent voters would be found in the Re-
publican column because of the stand
of the party on the excise problem.
1t was figured that what would be
lost in Essex would be more thar made
up for by the rural vote, which is OPP
posed to any modification to the liquor
laws.
Essex was put dow as a county that
would give 1900, although Senator
Colby, two years ago carried 1t by
