NEW JERSEY REPUBLICANS.

We are not inclined TO take much credit for
our forecast OF weeks ago that the nomination
OF J. Franklin Fort for Governor OF New Jersey
platform embodying the chief New Idea
principles-such as alone he would stand upon
would harmonic and reunte the two branches
of the Republican party in that state; for there
is really not much credit in prophesying some
thing which is so obviously certain to occur. 1t
is much like the proverbial betting on a sure
thing Nevertheless il is gratifying TO observe
that the -'sure thing has been realized. exactly
anticipated And that is just what has hap
pened- Mr. Fort has been nominated by one Of the
cleanest, most independent and most truly rep
resentati7e conventions ever held in that state.
on a platform which embodes the most mpor-
rant principles OF the New Idea movenent and
hcv. for the first time in three years. the party
is perfectly united. and Regulars and New Idea
men will work together in the campaign under a
common leadership.
The only exception 10 party unity is afforded by
a few-we believe a Very few-who are dissatis-
fed with the excise plank of the Republican plat
form They are hose who demand what they call
a liberal" policy-to wit. the opening OF liquor
saloons on Sundays or at least local option
law which would permit each municipality to
determine for itself the question of Sunday
opening. The 'Freie Zeituns~ of Newark
because of the Intolerance of the Republican
party in refusing 10 commit itself Ia the Sunday
opening Of saloons il will not support Mr. Fort
though Il will support the rest of the Republican
ticket Surely. that is most illogical course to
pursue The -Freie Zeitung" knows as il ad-
mifs in the article repudiating Mr. Forts cam
didacy. that the Governor cannot make nor url-
make laws; that is for the Legislature 10 do
Ii also knows. as il admits. that Mr.. Fort has
unequivocally declared himself in favor of home
rule for municipalities. Yet il refuses 10 sIu-
port the candidate whose views il approves be
cause il fears that somebody else with whom
be has nothing 10 do. will do something it does
not approve IL wants home rule yet il does
not want home rule Governor elected bacauss.
II is afraid the Legislature will not also be in
favor Of home rule. Really. IL is difficult TO
understand the mental processes which lead TO

are the independent" and floating" votes so
numerous in proportion TO the whole number,
and scarcely anywhere else is the Democratic
party very hungry and very thirsty as II
i there. We do not think the Democrats will
get much good in the WAY of campaign materiai
from the results OF the investigation their AS
semhly committee has been making into state
affairs. for the reasons that its revelations
shocking some of them have been, have re
lated almost exclusively to non-partisan matters
and that one of the most conspicuous results OF
its most shocking revelations was the disappear
ance Of prominent Democratic statesman from
the list of candidates for the Governorshlp-
Nevertheless. the Democratic bosses have put
forward very plausible candidate. and 1t would

not understand every trick in the game OF poi
itics and not desperately bent on playing
every trick for all it is worth. What is needed
is a Republican campaign corresponding with
the Republican canddate-vigilant. aggressive,
energetic, outspoken and transparently honest
and straightforward.

GPOTNDS FOR DTSBA NEWT.

An interesting conception of the status and
accountability of lawyerst and of causes for
which they may and should be disbarred was
Sc forth by Justice IIendrcksm Of the SUI
preme Court of New Jersey the other day in
the course of a judgment given in disbar-
ment
Attorneys, said the justice are officers OF the
court, and liable TO disbarment not only
for indctable offences. but also for Ill prac-
tice attended with fraud and corruption and
committed against the obvious rules of justice
and common honesty. Apparently, according
10 that Judgment it is not necessary for law
Yer to be corrupt in the conduct of actual court
proceedings or in the management of a case
intrusted TO him. If he is shown to be guilty
of dishonesty or immortality in any of his deal
ings he may be adjudged unacceptable as an
officer Of a court of justice, and may be dis
barred.
This view of the Justices opinion is con-
firmed by the facts of the case in which it
was given. The attorney in question was not
charged with malpractice in any case before
the court. but with borrowing money under
false pretences and with selling for good money
a mortgage which he knew To be worthless 1t
does not appear that he indicted for or
convicted of swindng that any such ac-
ton is 10 be brought against him. But he was
shown to have been tricky and dishonest in
his business relations entirely apart from his
conduct in court. and il held that. being a
dishonest man. he could not be a trustworthy
court officer. and therefore he disbarred.
We must regard the judgment with gratitude
and admiration, calculated to maintain
worthy standard in profession which has too
often incurred reproach through the ignoring
of precisely the principles set forth by Justice
Hendrickson. Too many lawyers appear to re-
gard their profession merely moneymak
ing pursuit, in which any sharp practice is per-

f4RcoyTS NEW HOPEs.

The proper time for forming an opinion re
carding the resumption of Marconis attempts
70 establish regular communication across the
Atlantic, has not arrived. Until he reports that
he is himself satisfied with the result OF the
experIments about 10 be undertaken at Glace
Bav the uninitiatei must remain good deai
in the dark The public does not yet possess
detailed information about the work done by
the distinguished Italian at Clifden, Ireland.
during the last few weeks. Moreover, on
nrevfous occasion. when there seemed 30 he
fine prospect OF beginning systematic ser
vice between Europe and America unforeseen
difficulties were encountered, and postpone
ment became necessary. Such an experience
must at present be deemed possible, even now.
on the other hand, there several undis-
Duted facts with which the public is already
familiar. The pioneer in the art OF radloteleg-
raphy-as the Berlin international congress
voted to call it-rcally sent "A number OF mes
Sages from his Cape Breton station and from
Cape Cod TO royal personages on the other side
of the Atlantic nearly five years ago. SubSe-
lnently he transmitted several news dis
patches to The London Times Since that
time he has been working quietly 10 improve
his aDparatus and to overcome the difficulties
which then embarrassed him. Finally, ii Is the
universal testimony of those who have met
ing of what he has accomplished and very
cautious in making forecasts. These circum-
stances certainly justify favorable differences
concerning the outcome Of his latest efforts.
In some respects Hertz wave telegraphy Is
apparently not yet quite on a par with the
cable service. 1t is, for instance apparently
somewhat slower. though Marcon and his
assistants have not thus far attached much
Importance TO speed. Again, So little is known
about the number Of wave frequencies which
can be utilized simultaneously without inter
ference in the sending of tuned messages that
1t NAV be doubted whether the work now per
formed by the dozen or more wires on the bot
tom of the Atlantic can be duplicated with
ether waves
Nevertheless. the equipment of two wireless
telegraphic stations one on each side of the
ocean. would probably cost far less than
cable does, and when they had demonstrated
their ability TO operate with the same degree
of certainty they ought TO be able to compete
with the older system of communication on
extremely advantageous terms.

PRAISE FOR PRESIDENT.
ambassador Francis Tells of Vie1cs
of austrian Emperor.
TFror, Tha Tribune RureauI

Washington. Sept A.-Charles S Francis. Am
bassador to Austria Hungary. who is in Washing
ton for brief visit. called to-day Postmaster
General Meyer. who was Ambassador to Italy at
the time that Mr.. Francis was Minister Greece
Later In the week he will President Roosevelt
who Is old friend ard was associate in the
days when i rising New York politician
and the other editor of upstate newspaper.
Mr.. Francis says that the relations between Aus
tra and the United States are the best possible
basis and that Austria Hungary entertains the
strongest friendly feeling toward this country and
particularly toward President Roosevelt. who is
most heartily admired.
Austria Is greatly interested In matters this
side OF the Atlantic" said Mr.. Francis Although
would be hard TO find greater contrast 70
systems OF government than those OF Austria and
the United States. there is nevertheless great
interest shown in all do. There is. moreover.
an approval Of methods. which is shown in part
by the fact that there has arisen dispute be-
tween countries for number Of years.
Emperor Francis Joseph follows most enthusi-
astically the career Of President Roosevelt never
met him when he did not ask first Of all for
the President. He recently expressed the
strongest regret that the term of President Roose-
welt Is soOr 10 expire. He was keenly disap-
pointed that tt was held necessary TO change 60
popular a ruler. and. Judging from the standpoint
OF his own government and experience. was unable
realize why 1t should be done.
The tie between the Emperor and the President
probably found its basis In the love of outdoor
sport on the part or each Emperor frahcis Joseph
IS seventy-eght years old but Is still a hunter
His favorte sport Is the shooting of the
ChamOis which Is reputed 10 be the shyes and most
difficult OF game TO hunt successfully. Despite his
age he still plunges alone into the wds and often
successfully bags bis favorite game.
The sentiNents held by the Emperor toward
President Roosevelt shared by most crowned
heads of Europe. His activities have made
marked impression upon the Continent. The

THE NEED OF THE HOUR.

Ex-Governor Samuel W. Pennypacker Of
Pennsylvania helped last week TO dedicate q
Revolutionary monument at PhPnixville-
which is not far from Pennypacker's Mills
and took advantage of the occasion to point
what he apparently conceived TO be the moral of
certain lamentable transactions in politics and
architecture during his term at Harrisburg
The Ex-Governor has the archaic temperament
and resorts to ancient history for comfort and
illumination in every time of stress or need
When lie signed the Philadelphia ripper bill
in 1898 he found ample warrant for that step
i'm the political experience of Greece and Rome
and when he co-operated the year following in
repeating the ripper he dug up equally help
fu precedent in the history of Nineyeh and
Babylon. Last week he made a considera ble
concession TO the spirit of modernity. and
drew for guiding parallels on this eountry's
Revolutionary experience His reading of his
tory, he declared, convinced him that Ameri
can independence was due not TO military skill
or TO successes on the field of battle but to the
