AN 11L-rrMED NERVOUSNESS.

President Squire, of the Railway Re-
formatory board, is claimed to be in a
nervous condition and, therefore. unable
to obey the subpoena of the Hahn inves-
tigating committee. He was last re-
ported at Lake Hopatcong and there
were previous reports of him at the
Hotel Aston in New York, Pike County,
Pennsylvania, and other places where
people go to brace up their nerves. 1t
is a pity that President Squire's nervous
system should fail him at this time and
he will command sympathy. 1t is al
legged that he is connected with a heat
ing company that installed the heating
arrangements in the Railway Reforma-
tory. No doubt President Squire, but
for his nervousness, would gladly come
forward to conclusively show either
that he is not in any way connected
with a firm that got a large contract for
the reformatory or that the State saved
lots of money by the ~cheapness with
which the heating system was installed.
Some inc~onsiderate relative of Presi-
dent Squire is reported to say that
Squire was acting upon advice that the
committee has no legal power to SUBJ
poena him. If that is true and the sub
poena is not answered, the Legislature,
it meets, will find a way to secure
the information desired from President
Squire. But the missing official will
doubtless be we'll enough braced up this
week to respond to the committees sub
poena and make his affairs at Railway
as MONDAY.

COMMISSION AND COAL PRICES.

A matter of immediate importance to
all the people of New Jersey is the ar
bitrary increase in the price of coal, an
increase that is to be followed by other
boosts in the price. The railroads of
the State are all engaged in carrying
coal from the mines, and they all belong
to the combination that controls the
output of coal at the mines and fixes
the price at tidewater. They are all
engaged in violating the State and Fed
eral laws.
A State Railroad Commission was
created by the New Jersey Legislature
this year and 1t has adopted rules and
to some extent laid out a line of policy
1t has no more power over railroad cor
porations than is conferred by laws in
existence when the commission was
created. but if these laws and the spirit
of all just laws are to govern the acts
of the commission, that body was moi
created in vain. We would call the at.
tention of the commission to the coal
carrying railroads that represent the
Coal Trust.
If the Railroad Commission is capa-
BILE of any real good it ought to be able
to do something for the people in the
way of securing for them their supplies
of coal at reasonable prices. The public
is skeptical about the State Railroad
Commission. 1t is looked upon as q
bluff" This impression would be dis,
sipated by active, earnest and effective
effort to protect the New Jersey publ,
from the outrageous %extortions of this
Railroad Coal Trust.

SOME CONTINGENT RESULTS.

While public attention will be fixed
upon the Republican fight in Essex for
Governor in the primaries tomorrow
the legislative contest win be of great
interest, and also the vote for candi-
dates for the local tickets. AS between
he Republican Regulars and the New
idea men a convention majority either
way will mean the nomination of a
whole delegation to represent the win
ming side. There will be no division
of the delegation. This may or may
not mean the putting up of a third
legislative ticket If the regulars shall
prevail in the primaries and conven-
ton, with the result in November OF
repeating the Democratic victory OF
last year.
If the dissenting faction takes in
dependent action on Governor and AS
sembly it will doubtless also nominate
third candidates for municipal and
county officers. These possibilities are
contingent upon the New Idea, If de-
feated. making a strong showing in tn,
primaries. If, however, it shall sustain
a bad defeat tomorrow the chances are
that there will be no serious attempt
to run independent candidates.

rHE pR1MAR1Es ToMoRRow.

Time was when interest in the politi-
cal primary was confined to the party
managers and their satellites and ward
workers, and when the burden OF re-
proach upon the average voter was his
neglect of primary duties. 1t is an evil
dence of the changed attitude of the
party voter that the party primary has
Of late become of as important interest
as the regular election. The average
voter has at length awakened to the
fact that political government begins in
the primary and that if we are to have
good or tolerable government the
primary must be as regularly attended
as the succeeding election. The extern
sion of the primary voting hours to
from 1 to 9 gives every citizen the OPP
portunity to go to the polling place,
and the reform of the primary election
law ordinarily insures a peaceful as
well as a fair election. so two causes
or excuses for neglect to vote are re-
moved.
The prevailing interest in the Novem-
her election will give the polls tomor-
row the aspect of a regular election,
especially in the Republican primaries,
where the principal interest will be
centered. In fact. as there is practi-
cally no contest by the Democrats, little
else will be thought of tomorrow but
Republican primary results. and more
particularly the vote on Governor. The
Republican organization is in much bet
ter trim than 1t was two years ago
or last year. Whether the New Idea
has gained or lost strength will best be
known when the votes are counted to-
morrow night. There has certainly
been less sustained vigor In its cam
paign. and differences have arisen of
a character to impair its vote.

barring accident, she is bound to estab-

of it is that the great ocean flyers that
are maintained by American travel and
American freights are nearly all under

GRAFT AND TREASURY DEFICIT.

1t is understood that of the Penn
sylvania State officials implicated in the
nine million State capitol graft will
go on the witness stand and tell all.
1t is also asserted hat the colossal
steal in the construction and furnish
ing of the building was planned to
make good an immense deficit in the
State treasury. The name of the late
Matthew S, Quay is mentioned in con-
nection with this alleged deficit.
Ordinarily the dishonest public Off
cial and contractor are content with
crafts equal to no more thar rs per
cent. of the total expenditure, but in
this case no more than four millions
can be accounted for in reason, while
nine millions represent pure stealing.
1t is reasoned tina there must have
been some Interior purpose n strong
motive apart from the desire to graft
in the transactions of the State officers,
