pany evidently does not intend to
loosen its grip upon the Morris canal
until forced to do so. For some time
efforts have been made by Governor
Fort looking toward an amicable set
Element of the differences between the
state and the Lehigh Valley Railroad
company over the title to the Morris
canal, but they were temporarily
abandoned Monday after conference
in the governors Office lasting several
hours. At the conclusion of the con-
ference it was announced that the
parties in interest had disagreed, and
that for the present at least further
negotiations we're at an end. This
conclusion of the series of conferences
which have been held will mean that
the suit instituted by the attorney
general to determine the rights OF the
Lehigh Valley, as lessee, to the basin
in Jersey City and other property OF
the canal will go to final argument in
the court of chancery. 1t had been
anticipated by most Of the conferees
that tentative plans for an ultimate
settlement between the state and the
railroad would be agreed upon, but at
the last moment the railroad refused
to submit to the proposition submit
ted on behalf Of the state, The canal
property over which there has been
years of litigation is variously estim-
ated as being worth from $40, 0O0,0 600 to
$35,000,000. The railroad has made
repeated efforts to have the canal
abandoned, and the property devoted
to other purposes. Under the original
charter the canal property, if aban-
doned, would revert to the original
owners, and in any event it would I'LL
timately become the property of the
state.

to talk and leave to print, the one
who said the other day, at social

abundance of food in this country is

forever, has waved his ears against

is reducing the food supply and put

of population, and that improved
methods of distribution add to cost, is
to say what combinations of capital

somebody for saying. The pay should

The adjusting of the appropriations
for town, school and county purposes
with the ratables will make an in
crease in the tax rate this year, but
not of a sufficient amount to work
hardship. While the cost of public
service seems to increase from year to
year there is not corresponding in
crease in the value of property, conse-
quently there is steady increase in
the tax rate, altogether out of proper
tion to the increase in population.
Every Legislature passes laws Great
ing new offices or increasing the sal
aries of those in Office, authoring pub
lie Improvements, etc, but so far have
not discovered method by which
business men or farmers can increase
their income in like proportion. How
ever, If the money is well spent most
people are satisfied, and those who are
not cannot help themselves.

OCEAN GOLF NOW THE RAGE,
Played on Broad Deck of a Steamer
All Rules of Game Observed.

All huleS OF Oame observed.
Ocean golf, played on the broad deck
of a steamer, is the latest pastime for
transatlantic passengers, and to Mr.
and Mrs. j. FL. Conrad of Chicago is
given. the credit for the creation of a
sport bound to become very popular
among the voyagers of the deep.
Probably most of the credit for the
innovation belongs to Mrs Conrad
who is devoted to golf and is not I'M
known among the golf experts in the
western metropolis. She, with her hus
band, was a passenger on the Ham.
burg American liner Kaiserin Auguste
Victoria, which recently arrived at
New York. The Conrads suggested to-
their fellow passengers the adoption
of the game, and before the. voyage
was fairly begun ocean golf was quite
the rage. Four days of fine weather
were devoted to the game, many wom-
en- participating in it. Charles L.
Bishop of Lockport. N. Y, captured all
records, his best effort being twenty.
seven points.
''The game of ocean golf is played on
the steamers deck over nine hole
course" explained Mrs. Conrad, "and
we use the disk and other implements
of the shuftieboard game. 1 can assure
every one that ocean golf is sport
and diversion just too lovely for any
thing. All the rules of regular golf are
observed, though the holes, bunkers
and all other obstacles to be overcome
are drawn in chalk on the deck. Just
say to all skeptics that ocean golf is
the finest game aboard ship that ever
was"

MoRRIsTowN is to be congratulated
upon the selection of new principal
for the high school who has made a
reputation as a practical instructor
He will have hard task here, from
all accounts, in impressing upon the
minds of some of the pupils, at least,
that attendance upon the schools is
something more than a good time
generally. If the energy displayed in
class rivalry could be turned into the
proper channels the work of the high
school would be very much improved.
