ABANDONMENT OF NORRIS
CANAL BRINGS HOT DEBATE.
Further Hearing Is Set Down for
March IA.
[From a STAFF Correspondent

TRENTON, March AFTER a
heated debate of the question of the
Morris canal abandonment was post
poned in the State louise to a further
nearing on Monday afternoon, March
II, at $50 O'Clock.
The House committee on municipal
corporations and the Senate committee
on railroads and canals, in joint ses-
sion, heard argument in the Assembly
chamber on Senator Fielder's and As
sembiyman Olwell's duplicate bills pro-
viding for abandonment and sale OF
that part of the canal lying between
the Hackensack River and the Hudson
River basin, a V-shaped course eight
miles in length.
Former Attorney-General Robert II.
McCarter was the chief talker against
the bills. He represented $50 holders
of stock of the Morris Canal and Bank
ing Company.
William H. Corbin, Of Jersey City,
appeared in behalf of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company, lessee of the canal,
to protest against the passage of a law
to permit piecemeal abandonment.
John w. Heck and more than 100 mem
bers of the Morris Canal Abandonment
Association of Jersey City, adorned
with broad white badges. urged upor
the committees a favorable report or
one of the two bills.
1t has been suggested that with the
terminal changes being made by the
Pennsylvania Railroad, the Lehigh Val.
ley will be without any terminal
That road now uses the Jersey City

The canal bed would offer an excellent
roadbed for the Lehigh's connection

are trying to put n of them through
to benefit that corporation. Such e
statement is groundless. The men wht
ask for abandonment of this useless ole
waterway do it because they are seek

County. They are men above reproacf

pugned."

COUNCIL REAPPOINTS
M'GRATH AS TREASURER,

ELIZABETH, March 2.-John j. Nc
Grath was reappointed city treasurer
by City Council last night. There was
not a dissenting vote. Mr.. McGrath's
appointment was held over pending the
passage of an ordinance increasing his
salary from $4,000 to $500.
An effort to increase the salary to
SO, 900 was made by lie Democrats, but
was defeated by the Republican MEM
bers of Council
The police committee, consisting OF
owen Farrelly,i chairman; William
Marsh n Thomas Durett, submitted
a report establishing new rules for the
government of the police department.
While these rules are, in a great meas
ure, the same as the old rules, they are
stricter regarding violations and are
particularly severe on the policeman
who is off post or is intoxicated while
on duty. The policeman who uses pro-
fame language will come in for severe
punishment under the new rules.

Many, if not most people consider

main parsonage in Shakespeare's So
called comedy Merchant of Venice"
a reflection upon the race, but care
full perusal of the play, will cause the
reader to change his opinion in regard
to the treatment that Shakespeare 81
lently and psychologically meant to
convey to the higher thinking people
of his time, the Medieval period"
when intolerance and prejudice
aginst the Jew ran very high.
He valued his life too greatly to
openly declare himself to the people
in reference to the Jew. He did not
intend to preach a moral, but his
meaty words were powerful in exoner-
ating the Jew from avarice and love of
gold. If one reads between the lines,
it is plainly seen that Shakespeare
admired the Jews commercial tenden-
cies. What words could prove this
more clearly, than when Shylock asks:
Antonio the question: If thrift is not
a blessing If men steal it not? Is 1t

loan of money, at the expiration of
three months appears as though Shy
lock was bloodthirsty individual. but
this bond was given by Antonio to
Shylock, who treated it indifferently.
not caring to take such q casual COLA
teral. In fact, Shylock offered to lend
him the money gratis, but Antonio
scorned his offer and treated it with
contempt.
What could be the natural outcome
OF such lnhumanity to man. There
are no angels on earth and Shakes
peare portrayed human nature with
all its weaknesses and strong points.
as any dramatist of deep insight would
naturally depict, considering the cir
cumstances of the case.
His logical argument in reference to
Jews emotions, organism, constitu
ton and reasoning power is a power
full defense in favor of the lew Nota
these words: If Jew wrong Chris
tan, what is his humility? Revenge.
If Christian wrong a Jew. what
would his sufferance be, by Christian
example? Why, revenge. The villany
you teach me, will execute, and it
shall go hard, but ! will better the
instruction.
Undoubtedly, Shakespeare was in
sympathy with the Jew, when he put
such words into the mouth OF Shylock.
He surely must have felt that the Jew
had been wronged and had a perfect
right to exact the bond.
We are glad to state that David War
fields version of the character Shv-
lock, is lofty one. He will enact the
part OF Shylock, as an aristocrat; one
who retains his pride, even when his
spirit is crushed at the end of the trial
Where 1t is plainly seen that the intol-
erance towards the Jew causes tears
to be shed by many who have witness
ed the play
incidentally it may be recalled that
Edwin Booth and Sir Henry Irying's
conception of the character conceded
with Warfeld. These eminent think
ers and actors did not condemn
Shakespeare for the character They
are still OF the opinion that the por-
trayal of Shylock's character did not
prove detriment to the Jew, I'm
doubtedly it is a character that has
been greatly misjudged and misunder-
stood Shakespeare could not reveal
his true opinion of the Hebrew in an
open manner owing to the spirit of
the times. He did his best, in subtle
way, to show the people that the Jew
was progressive and not money
lover. Do you not think we have just
cause in laudng the great playwright
