EECESE " NEW JERSEY.

Governor Fort of New Jersey Is being bitterly
denounced for his policy concerning the excise
laws and the regulation of the liquor trade.
The liquor dealers associations. brewers anu
others interested in the trade are attacking nm,
eSneciaIlv in those parts of the state where the
laws have hitherto been most notoriousiy ana
fagrantlv violated Some Of them are saying
that he is acting very differently from what ne
gave them to expect before he was elected, ana
that if it had been known that he would pursue
the course which he has now announced he
would have been overwhelmingly defeated
Such pretensions are sheer twaddle. Mr. Fort
made If nerfectIv clear before election that if
elected he would do precisely what he now pur-
noses to do Nobody who had common sense
voted for him under any other suppositlon
And there can be no doubt that 1t was just
that bold. uncompromisnG, unequivoca1 attitude
of his on the liquor question during the cam
Daicn which most of all things assured MS
election His unexpected strength in Hudson
County where the election was chiefly won, was
at first regarded with surprise as something III
cxplicable Well Informed men now realize that
il was largely due to a quiet revolt of decent
people against the fragrant disregard of law
which had prevailed in that county and their
desire for n man who would enforce the law.
To enforce the law is, in fact practically all
that Governor Fort purposes TO Go. III accord
l7lce with his oath Of office And it is primarily
no new or recent law which he means to en-
force but the old Werts law which the Demo
Gratis enacted more than twenty years ago but
which they studiously and most successfully
avoided enforcing The sO-called Bishops law OF
recent date over which there has been much
bother is and was meant to be little, II any
thing. more than an instrument for facilitating
ard fnsurirg the enforcement of the Werts law.
and any new measures which Governor Fort now
suggests have merely tha- end in view
TO oppose his policy is TO say that the laws
shall not be enforced but shall be broken and
ignored with mpunty. 1t is to say that the
Governor after 1allng an oath to enforce the
laws shall fail to enforce them. 1t is to say
that mayors and other municipal officers shall
be permitted with impunty TO break their
oaths and to neglect their duties If anybody
thinks that he can do himself much good or Mr..
Fort much harm by waging a campaign on those
lines he is welcome to try ii.

Prospects, a Tariff Reform.

The Washingtoa Herald has been
studying recent Republican deolara-
tons for tariff rslogm, only to be dis
couraged, considering the last, the
Pennsylvania utterance, which II
thinks marks no advance whatever
over McKinleyism or Dingleyism at
their worst. It says:
There is observable, with the ap-
proach of the presidential campaign, q
progressive degeneration Of Republican
tariff revision sediment. Everybody
now declares for revision, but not for
the sort Of revision that was originally
demanded by the tArifi reduction wing
Of the party. Each state platform gets
farther and farthaH away from the
tariff reform idea md holder and bold
er in advocacy d 0 bald and naked
protectionism, unt1 IN the Pennsyl
vania document u promised the true
and unadulteratsd gospel Of standpat'
ism. If the Pennsylvania delegation

PUBLISHERS AND THE TARIFF.
Warranted cntlelsm Of Attitude Of Re-
publican Newspapers.

A number Of Republican newspapers
in the United 0tatss. which have
steadfastly maintained the principle Of
protection as adaptsd to the needs Of
our producers and rsput ,ated the prin-
eiple of free trade - inimical to those
needs, have Joined in demand. spirited
and bordering o. the hysterical, that
the duty on wood pulp and print paper
be abolished Immediately, because
they think such adjustment would
cheaper the product they consume. It
is an attitude at once inconsistent,
cowardly and insineere.
In the main the demand for free
pulp and free paper is promoted BY
free traders. The publishers who are
most active in the movement are
either outspoken free trade Democrats
who consistently profess the belief
that protection 10 robbery, or else OF
that less honest and tolerable cult who
mask their free trade under the
specious guise Of tariff reform" and
run their papers fss free trade all the
time except for the three months i'm
mediately preceding q presidential
election, when they support the Repub-
lican platform and nominees. OF these
two classes nothing else, perhaps. Is
to be expected than that they would
embrace every opportunity to show
that protection II Q fraud and Is TO

But It is the most palpable kind Of
folly and dishonesty to support tariff
for protection and then to advocate
suspension Of it, application to ones
own business. n the tariff on pulp
and paper adds b the cost Of paper
without corresponding and justihable
benefit to domesks producers. then
upon what ground, san II be maintained

All Paris iSlMuch Excited.

Paris, June 5:-Whether yester-
days attempt on the life Of Major
Dreyfus was the individual act Of a
man believing himself an outraged
patriot, or whether it had behind it
an incipient Nationalist plot, the
Republican press is unanimously de-
ploring the incident. Even papers
which doubted the wisdom of bury
ing Emil lola in the Pantheon, think
the shooting will consolidate the
Republican sentiment, and evidently
desire to see the incident die out as
soon as possible.
An attempt to reopen the old Drey-
fus issue at the trial OF louis
Gregori, the man who shot Major
Dreyfus, yesterday, they point out
would be plainly extraneous. On the
other hand the fury Of the National
list papers is unbounded. The Action
Franchise fires a broadside today
which recall the most exciting days
Of the Dreyfus-Boulange affairs. Al
the head of its columns the news
paper prints a statement by Charles
Maorran, which it is likely the au
thorities will investigate.
