State Highways.

The highway commission has made a
report, which will be presented to you,
and they recommend the creation Of
system Of highways to be maintained
at state expense and to run from coun-
ty seat to county seat and connect
with an ocean boulevard along the At
lantic ocean. This system of highways
will have length of S53 miles and if
carried out viii establish in our state
system of public roads which will
not be equaled in any state.
The highways of New Jersey are
now noted for their excellence, and
this plan will increase their notoriety
and draw to our state many thousands
of persons and thus result in great adj
vantage to all our tradespeople. Aside
from this, the benefit to the agricul-
tural sections of the state will be be-
yond estimation. The annual cost of
ways after, they are once thoroughly
constructed is estimated by the road
commissioner at $2T5,000.
Some of the roads within the route
proposed by the highway commission
are not yet improved. AS to this, they
recommend that they be improved I'M
der the state road act, but that the
percentage which the state shall con-
tribute toward the unimproyed part Of
the route shall be one-half of the total
cost.
The automobile fees which during
the last fiscal year under the present
law amounted to $245, 1865 can be
utilized for maintenance. With this
system Of highways our automobile
fees should be increased about one
third above that which is now paid,
and the recommendation of the high
way commission on this subject Is
heartily approved by the executive.
In addition to this $50 miles Of high
way. the state should take over and
maintain that which was the old turn
pike road between Jersey City and
Newark. A good highway between
Jersey City and Newark q needed and

FUEL FOR WAR VESSELS.

livery now ard then the advisability OF
using Oh 10 generate steam on warShiJs
is considered more or less formally ny
officers Of the United States navy. ct
present the plan IS said to be- regarded
with favor by some of Them. though
there are 10 Indications Of an immediate
intention to adopt Il for anything but d.
stroyers.
by the substitution Of petroleum for
coal several minor advantages would be
secured. Less time would be required to
take OF ii supply Of fuel than Is now
needed. Space III the vessel which could
not be utilized for coal could be filed
with oil. Less labor would be demanded
IL the boiler room, tnd the business Of
stocking would be more cleaniy than now.
An even more important recommendation
OF liquid fuel Is that 1t promises greatly
To increase ships radius OF action. If
tla room uOw devoted 10 the storage Of
coal were given up TO oil, more power
could be generated By the boilers before
il would be necessary 70 visit port for
supplies.
Before the government makes any rad
lCal departure from existing usage, 1t
will doubtless consider tire question
whether il cannot secure the principal
benefit here mentioned III another way

double the distance vessel can travel

They also declare that gas power IS

repeatedly been announced that the ap-
paratus for manufacturing gas for en-
glles from bituninous coal has been per

troleum be obtained? Wells in the East
ern states yield less beautifully now than
they did twenty or thirty years ago,
and so much OF their product can be
used for illuminating purposes that its
sale for fuel Is hardly profitable. Oil
from the region which includes Kansas
ana Texas is better suited 10 the pro-
posed service and can be piped TO the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts, but how long
will the supply from that source hold
ont? Can any one guarantee its continu-
ance for fifteen years: Surprising that
for warShips or the Pacific depots We're
established III Hawaii and The Philip
pines for California oil, how long would
that resource be available? Does not the
fact that coal can be procured III almost
any port IN the world and that the
known deposits arr likely to last for cen
turtles afford a strong argument fer the
use OF gas power?

THE GOTERNOR's MORAL ISSUE

THE GOFERNOR'S "HORAL ISSUE"
THE Albany Evening Journal" Mr..
Barnes's newspaper, in commenting on
the result of the caucus TO elect presi-
dent pro TEN. of the Senate, took this
characteristic fling at Governor Hughes
The last gun Of tho tight vas shot by
Governor Hughes, when he came out with
a statement yesterday afternoon sup
porting the position taken by Senator
Root In favor of Nj Human. The state
ment is characteristically Bughes-like,
In that il raised "a moral issue" The
type Of mind which Governor Hughes
represents fiourished in the Middle Ages,
and many were its victims, on the rack
and at the stake. That kind of mind
believes that disagreement with It Is
immoral. It has been the one offensive
aspect of the present administration,
which in public matters has shown III
almost every instance q commendahle
attitude
The Journal for its own purposes
confuses moral earnestneSs with moral
intolerance. It believes that because
statesman processes high standards of
conduct In politics and lives up to them
he must feel and exhibit q certain moral
reach bis exalted level of ideas and
action. But this attitude Of prescription
Is generally Pigment of the imagination.
due TO the over -sensitiveness Of those
who prefer 10 live in lower atmosphere
and travel an easier way.
Governor Hughes has never attempted
10 drive anybody to the rack or to the
stake in politics because of a disagree
ment of opinion. He has simply pre-
scented bis own views as to the policy
which the party should pursue and asked
for an expression of preference on the
part of the voters between his views aud
those Of his opponents. There Is nothing
of the cruelty and yindictiveness of q
yorquemada in that programme. The
Governor does not seek 10 act at the
same time as prosecutor, judge and exc
cuti0ner. Whatever sentences TO the rack

posed uIdeT the Hughes inquisition are
imposed by the voters. They" have the

same right to hearing as the Governor.
and If they are powerful and persuasive
enough can send the Governor and bis
supporters TO the stake on exactly the
same sort of warrant drawn In the
name Of the people.
Governor Hughes does not believe that
the fact that other Republicans disagree
with him makes them Immoral" but, OF
The other hand. he does not hold that If
other Republicans agree with him what
ever they DO is beyond impeachment
politically and morally. lie stands for
the judgment OF men and measures on
their own merits, and not Oh the false
basis that the party must cOndone for It's
