PAPERS ON CAMPAIGN
Katzenbach ON Moran aue.tion..

OA AO@Nh E4uEStAVM8s e.
TFrom the Trenton True American, Dem.l
If any man in Trenton has been doubt
ing the course that Frank s. Katzenbach,
jr., would pursue in theN Governors chair,
all cause for his m~isgivings has been re-
move by Mr.. Katzenbach's clear, concise
and comprehensive statement In State
Street Theatre Monday evening. Mr..
Katzenbach, If elected Goyernor,~does not
propose TO leave on the outside of the State
House any Of the principles hat he has
lived for thirty-nine years In the city
Of Trenton.
There was no reason why any doubts
should have arisen in the mind Of any
Trentonian as to Mr.. Katzenbach's posi-
ton on moral questions. Though not one
of those who boast OF their se~lf-righteous-
ness, Mr.. Katzenbach has not hidden his
light under a bushel. His influence has al
ways been on the side of public virtue,
even though he has not adopted the
"holier than thou slogan.
The Republican gangsters who promoted
last Sundays pulpit performances in this
city know Frank S. Katzenbach. They also
know that the matters on which they have
sought TO bring him out in a pharisaical
-pronouncemeht are in no sense involved in
the gubernatorisl election.
The local Republican spa that
have been picturing Mr.. Katzenbach as the
champion OF the a~nti-Sabbath sentiment in
this State knew while they were doing SO
that they were wrorging a man of the
highest character, faithful to his principles
and whose goings in and out among the
people of Trenton shout "lie" at their cal
umnies.
Yet the despicable crowds that roost In
the State House. the Court House and the
City Hall, whose public actions have
brought reproach on all decent citizens
in New Jersey, knowing their danger
from the outraged sentiment of the citi-
zens OF this State. have sought to hide their
wickedness behind a pious profession Of
defending the sanctity Of the Sabbath, and
they have stimulated the thought that pos
sibly, after all. Frank S. Katzenbach
might be willing to surrender his prin-
ciples for the gaud and glamor of political
preferment.
This. then. was the issue that they
raised. because they had no answer to
make to Mr.. Katzenbach's charges and the
Hahn commuters disclosures Of their
damnable practises. Mr.. Katzenbach has
repudiated their issue. He demands that
they come from under their cloak of
hypocrisy. He states very plainly that II
elected Governor he will adhere as closely
to the code Of ethics that he has chosen
for his personal guidance as he has adj
hered to it in his private life.
Furthermore. he will not approve any
law that has for its object the violation
OF the peace and order of any day of the
week.

coNF1scArrNa CITY rRopEnrY.

The city of Wilmington, Del, has
nurtured a project similar to that
which the voters of Newark will vote
on next Tuesday, a municipal water
front, to develop the commercial in
terests. The land to be improved is, or
was, public land. and the careless peo-
pie have just awakened to the fact
that six years ago a lobby secured the
passage in the Legislature of an act
giving this land to a private corpora
ton.
This outrage is to be contested in
the courts. The New Jersey Legis-
lature this year passed an enactment
of a similar character. 1t confiscated
about 80, 900, 900 gallons daily of New
ark's water supply, having a CONNER
cial value of about $500 for each days
supply. and practically confiscated
Newark's $40, 900, 600 water plant. This
outrage also will be contested If the
act is permitted to stand. 1t is not
charged that any of Wilmington's
municipal officers were implicated in
the deal for the water front. 1t is
known that members of the Newark
Board of Works, with the boards engi-
neer, helped to consummate the out
rage on Newark.

VIEWS OF EDITORS.
The serrant Prohlem.

Thus far the only suggestion that bears
any likeness to the practical is the en-
ployment Of Japanese and Chinese house
servants. In this community such a re-
sort to Oriental domestic labor would be
at first regarded as revolutionary and OK
perimental, but the hotisekeeper who shall
have the courage and enterprise to break
the ice and try will have ample p in
the example and experience of other COM
munities. 1t is not to be supposed that
labor of this sort will be available in
volume sufficient to meet the demand, but
any considerable employment of Chinese
house servants would naturally have a
~steadying effect upon the domestic labor
market that would be most wholesome and
welcome.-PhlladNphia Ledger.

There is nothing in that talk worth speaking about. A
few hundred nen are dsgrunted for the reason given, but many
of them are persons who never vote in OIL State elections.
They belong mostly to the old Mugwump class, and if they
vote at all this year it will be mainly because of Grover Ceve-
lands advice. Cleveland is still a power among the committing
element and his letter in Katzenbach's favor will count for more
than the politicians imagine.

As a matter of fact, there is no decent excuse for dragging
President Roosevelts name into a controversy that should be
confined to State issues. When the President wants New Jr-
sey's endorsement he will let that fact be known in his own
way, and he will get the Endorsement regardless of what poiti-
clans may think or desire or do.

WAITING TO HEAR FROM JUD0s FoRT-UNwARR4NTED 1sR O.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT rs MAIZE.

Fift-six days ago Judge Fort promised that if nominated
for Governor he would promptly resign from the Supreme Court
bench and publicly answer the charges made in connection with
the attempts made to disbar and indict him tweuty-one years
ago.
So far the Judge has not mentioned the matter. 1t is
rumored that he has been keeping the subject for a dramatic
climax to his great campaign at the mass meeting in his home
city of East Orange next Monday night. The temptation is
both natural and strong. But he would do well not to delay
another moment. He has tonight, Friday and Saturday in
which to make his vindication. After that it would be too late
for practical purposes and productive of no fruitful results.
Judge Fort has come around to Nj Katzenbach's view of
the excise question-that it is one for the Legislature, and that
the Governor has no business to interfere with the popular will
as expressed through their representatives in the law-making body.
1t is. unwaranted, impairment and presumptuous to drag
President Roosevelts name into New Jerseys Governorship
fight. The battle here has no bearing whatever or National
politics and the voters should resent all efforts, no matter by
whom made, to lug in extraneous issues. Both sides ire try
ing to work this, to some extent. Purbhnd Democrats are
sedulously hammerrng away with the suggestion that President
Roosevelt is responsible for the financial muss in New York
and the way to express dhsapprobahon of the Presidents course
is to vote for Katzenbach. Somebody has been doing great
ina ginaive stunts along these lines in Trenton because the
"True American" of that city seriously declares that thousands
of commuters up at this end of the State have lost their
positions because of the stringency, and, being bitter against
Roosevelt, they won't vote for Fort

can managers and orators lay themselves open to question as

BANK RATE RAISED.

LONDON August 15-The directors OF the
Bank Of England, after a prolonged dis
cussion today, raised the banks discount
rate from 4 to ~ per cent. owing to the
monetary situation on the continent and in
New York and the anxiety OF American
houses to place financial bills here, which
is taken to indicate possible gold shipments
to New York in the near future. The re-
cent foreign competition for the gold ar
rivals evidently helped the directors to ar
rive at their decision. and the usual de-
mands for Egypt as we'll as South America
must be met before the year end. The re-
serve will be sufficiently depleted without
such a demand from New York as that ex-
perienced last year. The hope Is expressed
in financial circles that Secretary OF the
Treasury Cortelyou will assist the New
York market as necessary and prevent gold
shipments from here. which undoubtedly
would cause another advance in the Bank OF
Englands discount rate
The stock markets experienced renewed
depression this morning, chiefly owing to
yesterdays break in New York, and al
though not much stock changed hands
prices weakened in all directions, the de-
preston being accentuated by the advance
in the bank rate. Consols declined 5-l6 to
s1h.
Americans started one to five points below
yesterdays prices and fell quickly when the
higher bank rate was announced. But they
recovered smartly under repurchases and
later ruled steady at about parity level.

rected at members Of the police depart
ment, more particularly those who are

"capping' has been going op. charging that
the work has been done in the interest of
a particular attorney.
The name of the attorney was not men,
toned in the letter, 1t is stated, but enough
was said of the location of his office to
give a definite idea as to his Identity. The
"capping" complained Of by the writer in
wolves 1t is said, an effort on part of men,
bers of the police department to throw
business to a particular member of the bar.
Inspector Boardman was given the letter
yesterday and Its contents were made
known to the detectives who assembled at
roll call last night. 1t Is stated that the
writer predicted a scandal for the depart
ment which will eclipse the handbook busi-
ness. Inspector Boardman thought the
reading of the letter was sufficient to let the
men know that If such a thing had been
practiced it might be we'll for it to cease.
