PLEASE NAME HIM.

The New Idea organization in Essex
and Hudson is ~reproached by the Tren-
ton Times with the taunt that one of
its Shining lights made an early APP
plication for Colonel Dickinson's fat job
as Secretary of State. after the Gov
ernor a requested Dickinson to re-
sign. The Times adds that "others have
been holding their hands out for other
Places and it hazards the opinion that
"judicious distribution Of half a dozen
offices would wreck the Colby machine
beyond repair"
This sounds malicious, although u
Trenton contemporary is not usually
prone to malice. But 1t should be spe-
cifc. 1t should name the shining light
of the New Idea who was ~hot-footed
for Dickinson's official shoes. 1t is posi-
BILE that there is such a a in Hudson
County, where the itch for office Is we'll
nigh universal. But we are confident
that no man in Essex prominent In the
New Idea movement would thus stultify
himself. Let the Trenton Times name
this alleged office-seeker.

GERMAN TARIFF AGREEMENT
OBJECTIONS.

A resolution of the American Pro-
tective Tariff League unqualifedly de-
nounces the German commercial agree
mem for t~ranscending executive au-
thority and invading the domain of
legislation; for Gripping the protective
policy; for injuring American labor,
and, finally. for discriminating against
the honest American importer in favor
OF the interruptions alien agent of
European manufacturers. The practise
by commercial nations, wherever they
can, is to sell goods for export at a
lower price than at home. This prac-
tise has been carried to an extreme by
German manufacturers in their eager
ness to override the high tariff and in
wade the great, rich American market.
1t has been a pe%rplexing problem for
our custom officials to ascertain the real,
honest value of German textiles and
valorem duties are assessed, and the
chief advantage gained by Germany in
the new compact is our concession that
the export price, not the German home
price, shall be taken when the goods
are sold only for export. 1t is COM
planned by the tariff league that these
concessions nave the practical effect of
a 10 to rs per cent. tariff reduction, ar
ranged by executive authority, without
the sanction of Congress. The state
ment Is made that the agreement will
tend to discriminate against and de-
stroy genuine American importing
houses. in favor of the mere branch
agencies of European manufacturers
Such a process as this would be dis
astrous to the larger commercial inter.
ests of the United States. 1t has al
ready progressed too far, as may be seer
in New York, where the old-time Amer
lean importing houses have been re
placed by agencies for. European manu-.

CANDIDATES CAMPAIGN EXPENSES,

Politico-moral sentiments from Sem
ator Patrick McCarren, of New York,
are scarcely ooked for by those con-
versant with his record, but when talk
ing on a bill limiting the election ex-
penses of candidates he said hat "the
idea of expending so much money for
an office that pays a small salary does
not have a good moral effect" he ex-
pressed a sentiment hat runs at large
and can find none to dispute it. The
bill limited a gubernatorial candidates
expenses to $4,000 and a Senatorial
candidates to $1,000. Some of the sums
expended. 1t was shown in the discus
sion, amounted to many times these
amounts.
When a man running for a $500 office
puts up thousands of dollars for cleo
ton expenses his motives are generally
questioned as well as the use to which
the money is put. And naturally so, as
in few cases is the candidate able to
afford this expense for the mere graft
fication of his pride.

USES FOR rHE scHoo1HousE.

New York has an enormous school
population and needs very large facili-
ties for it's accommodation. There is
more money spent annually for public
education in New York than IN any
other city in the world. There are
now employed 1900 teachers in the va
cation schools and Fairgrounds. and
the appropriation for this season is
$1S5, 900. This is not extraordinary con-
sidering the size of the city, but the
features of the New York school play
grounds are admirable. They include
baths, which thousands of children in
dulge in daily. The social centres on
the roofs of school buildings where
bands furnish music are also features
to be initiated in other cities. We have
begun to learn in this country that
school buildings and school yards have
other uses besides those Of the regu-
lar day classes. The playground. the
lecture room and the social centre are
developing to give the fullest benefit Of
public school property,

REFORM IN THE HOSPITAL.

The diet of the insane patients at
Trenton, which has been unchanged
for years and has consisted largely of
pork and beans for sick and well, is
to be changed by order of Acting Medi-
cal Director DR.. Rafferty,. There will
be joy in the hospital wards. No more,
perhaps, will the day of the week be
known by the character of the grub
furnished and the new regimen will
doubtless upset in the patients minds
The rotation of the days and weeks. so
accurately fixed by the unvarying diet.
DR.. Rafferty, has also ordered several
tons Of lime for disinfecting purposes,
and he will doubtless hasten the sale
OF the diseased and dirty dairy cows.
What changes he will make in tho ar
engagements for the additions OF the
patients to avoid the necessity for their
using bowls in which filthy vessels are
washed remains to be learned. 1t is
probable also that he will establish
regulations to prevent the clubbing of
patients to death. 1t nay now be
definitely stated that an insane person
can be sent to the State Hospital for
the Insane without great peril of dying
Of neglect or disease if he is not fatally
maltreated by attendants. That is
something gained.

THE STATE SCHOOL FUND.

At the date of the last annual report
by the State Comptroller the principal
sum of the State school fund, derived
chiefly from the sale or lease of
the riparian lands, was &,52S, 1852, of
which 500, s6S.34 was a cash balance.
The securities of the fund consist of
railroad and bank stock, State, city,
county, township and school district
bonds, bonds and mortgages, riparian
leases and real estate.
The items of investment are these:
Railroad and bank stocks, S146, 800;
county and municipal bonds, 81, 1884 ,5S5;
school district bonds, $99S, $3.50; bonds and
mortgages on real estate, s362,575; real
estate bought in under foreclosure or
acquired from the old State sinking
fund by transfer in 1903. $57, 995.S6 (the
total rental income of this property
last year was 1929, while the loss on
sale of real estate was s19.157.72); the
riparian leases, paying 7 per cent.
rental amounted to $462, 0S7.72. There
was due and unpaid at the date of the
report 500, SS3.42 of rentals on riparian
leases and $3.50 on bonds and mort
cages.
The income of the State school fund
to.4 49,. ..on CO.'S oo- 20 aua +boro 1-as
paid out $2l1. 027.5S, of which 5000, 900
was the annual distribution to the
public schools. The net accretion to
the fund last year was ss7,4s6.s0, of
which $32.532 was the capital sum of
leases made during the year. The
amount of $74.S61 was received from
absolute grants of riparian lands. This
is a condensed statement of a State
fund that represents a mere fraction
of the value Of the State lands sold at
nominal prices. The accommodations in
the fund ought to be at least ten times
over the mount last reported. The
many millions that should be in the
fund have enriched private corpora
tions, and unless the Legislature shall
put a stop to the alienation of the pub
lie lands, millions more will be stripped
from the State for their further enrich
ment and the State school fund will be
practically stationary.

PROBLEM OF DUST.

The foothills of the Orange Noun
tain would be more delightful for resi-
dences If they could be freed from the
nuisance of dust clouds that sweep
try the patience of residents and way
farers. How to abolish this nuisance
Is a question that has long been de-
hated. 1t is a serious handicap on
property values and retards develop
ment, besides causing damage and in
ficting daily misery on thousands of
people. me Irvington Town Council
proposes to try petroleum on a WE'LL
Travelled section of Springfield avenu
and if the experiment is satisfactory
the other roads in the own will be
similarly treated. If every municipality
in the county enduring the same
nuisance should take means for its
abatement, life and travel in Essex
would be much pleasanter.
The dust problem is successfully
solved in many places elsewhere. It is
found that adhesive asphaltic oils are
effective for dirt roads, while on hard
roads prepared coal tar products are
lest. In California crude mineral oils,
readily and cheaply obtained there, are
used for dust laying. In Europe many
different processes are used according
to cheapness and availability. Water

Is doubtful If one person ever distinguished
so many, as it Is difficult to do so near the
horizon. The number In both celestial
hemispheres, while commonly stated at
5000, is probably not many more than
$500, and it is an exceedingly clear night
when $500 can be seen at one time by
the most expert observer. When it comes
to those which can be seen through the
telescope there Is no accurate data, blu that
method is no longer relied upon, as the
use of Photographic plates has replaced it.

1.-THE first Philippine Assembly is to open
in September. 1t will consist of eighty-one
members, one delegate for each 10000 per-
sons, and will In a general way correspond
to the American House of Representatives,

ouent elections for the Assembly are to be
held on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday of November, in odd numbered
years, the delegates to hold office for TWO
years only. The election law of the Philip
pine Islands requires that voters must be
males, % years old. citizens of the Philip
pines, and must, furthermore, fall within

sive and only a temporary relief. The
water dries, the dust clouds form
again and the nuisance remains. The
money spent on watering carts could
be better spent. Perhaps if we had a

might be devised to lay the dust on the
roads of the State and keep it there.
