ADMINISTRATION MEASURES IN RESERVE.

NV o bill has vet been introduced in the Legislature revolution
AN izng the States taxing system on the plan of the single tax
advocated by George L. Record, and in view of the large
amount Of administration work cut out for this session of the Legs.
nature it is not probable that single tax legislation will be taken
M until next year. But the single tax is not the only legislative
card that the versatile and indefatigable George 1. Record holds
in reserve. Among other things he has a new plan of county gov
eminent He would abolish the elective county board and establish
a new board to consist of the mayors of the different cities, towns
and boroughs in the county. These officials are to organize an.
nualy into a county board, but the votes of the mayors as members
Of the county board are to have q value according to the size of
the municipalities they represent. The vote is to be on the sliding
scale. Thus, in an Essex county board every municipality would
have at least one vote, while all above a single vote would be
apportioned according to the population. Newarks mayor might
have eighteen votes and the town of Nutley only one. The trouble
with this Record plan is that it assumed that the office of the
mayor In a city like Newark is not much more than ornamental,
and that it's occupant would have plenty of time to attend to the
important affairs of the county while figuring as the head of the
municipality. But there is plenty of time to discuss this newest
hobby of George L. Record before it makes its appearance as a
State administration measure at Trenton.

To the Editor of the Evening star:
Senator Lorimer's speech before the
Senate In his own behalf impressed me
more thar anything else could that
loyalty to ones friends, fairness to
one's enemies, independence and
stanchness of soul must ultimately
have their reward.
Let those who sneer at such virtues
In our public men try the recipe them
selves and see how IL works out. Let
them never break a promise, be fair
to the n that is down, just TO those
higher up. in short, to use a rough col
loquialism, let them be good sports"
Don't cry when you lose. don't crow
when you win. keep out of fights when
you can. fight like the devil when you
must.
These virtues are SO rare that il is
not difficult to understand that a man
who embodies all of them shall rise to
Senator Lorimer's position.
More than anything else is to be ad-
mired the simplicity and democracy of
-
the man. To utter the speech that he
did before those men shows either great
nobility of soul or utter depravity, and
I am inclined to believe the former.
Such a speech could not draw tears
from the eyes OF those men who by
their very profession are accustomed to
all kinds of triclSery and vile and who
would see through It at once if it we're
not sincere.
AS for the things said against him,
of course, such a man will be bound to
have enemies. The only man who
makes no enemies is the ma who never
does anything. A man can not only be
judged by the company he keeps, but
also by the enemies he makes. The
lack of enemies would speak almost as
Ill for a man in public office as the
lack of friends-more 50 II possible.
If the investigation did nothing else
it served to show that not ell men in
public office are as bad as they are
painted. ADMIRER.

FOR A MONUMENT TO CLEVELAND.

The people of the United States do
we'll to subscribe promptly to the fund
for a memorial to Grover Cleveland;
and the managers Of the fund do we'll
to make their appeal perfectly general
Ito citizens of all the sections and OF
ali the parties and creeds. Cleveland's
career is better understood nov than
when he went out of Office, and the bet
ter it is understood the stronger grows
the respect for his memory, the graft
tude for his faithful public service, the
admiration for his character. If few
presidents on going out OF Office have
been the objects OF more bitterness and
reviling, few also have lived to feel 50
general an approval from the Just ana
thoughtful everywhere among their
countrymen. Thousands Of Republicans
would today concede that this Demo
cratic Presidents firmness and courage
saved the country from financial dis
honor. The integrity of his motives,
once so fiercely assailed, is now practi-
cally unquestioned. The wisdom of his
craftsmanship has won from the pass
ing years an even more striking vindi-
cation. For the first time since he left
Office his party has won a great victory
all over the country: and 1t has won the
victory by returning to the issue which
he made paramount and the policy
with which his name must always be
associated Harper's Weekly.

A CERTAIN KIND OF REFORM ONLY.

MI ADAME RoLAND's exclamation about the crimes com m
apply to political reform. The mantle of reform may be
used to cover many sins and many selfish objects. 1t has been used
for purposes of real oppression. There never was a time when
reform was not necessary in government. Every political party
professes reform objects and reform bills are introduced in every
legislature. Reforms are demanded in the present Legislature.
They were called for by the Democratic State platform last year.
Both party platforms contained reform pledges. There is no oppO-
sition to reform, but only a difference of opinion as to what con.
stitutes reform and what kind of reform bills shall be passed. For
the reform of our election laws there are several bills in the Legis,
iature. The Senate has passed election reform bills and sent them
TO the Assembly. The Assembly has as yet done nothing, for the
reason that the reform idea which the Assembly is expected and
required to adopt is not of legislative origin, like that of the Sen
ate, but has been imposed on assemblymen by an authority and
influences outside of the chamber. They are arbitrarily told that
they must adopt this idea or be forsworn. What matters it if the
laboring man and the naturalized voter and other classes of voters
shall oppose the idea and threaten consequences at the polls. Shall
the executive idea of election reform be halted by such consider
atoms? Shall the primary object of the executive reform idea be
frustrated because certain popular elements make objection and
protest? Let not assemblymen provoke the wrath of the master.
They must accept the brand of reform given to them, and no other.

Wanderers Marriage Legal.

To the Bditor OF the Evening star:
Some time ago l saw an incident IN
a paper telling OF a young woman who
married a man in his cell just before
he was executed for committing an
atrocious and cowardly murder.
The law allowed it; It was perfectly
legal. Suppose this couple had mar
ried when the man was a respectable,
law-abiding citizen and had h con-
mitted this murder, would the law have
granted the woman a divorce on those
grounds? It would not; the law puts
no obstacle In the way of a man marry
ing; no crime that he may commit is
a legal bar to his marriage; he will
even be helped by being Allowed to
marry In a prison cell, and the prison
chaplain will gladly officiate, and all the
sentimental women in the community
VIII tearfully sympathize with the
poor dears."
Any mai may marry--any murderer,
thief, blackguard, degenerate, moral
incompetent or idiot; nothing but
lunacy is a bar to a person marrying.
Why, II is a cinch to get married, put
divorce-that is a different thing.
A person must be respectable to get
a divorce, and prove It. The witnesses
must be respectable and prove 1t. All
kinds of questions will be asked of the
principals and witnesses, ones pedi-
gree will be gone into carefully and
every assertion proven. One must
establish a residence in a State for
from six months to two years, and
prove.
What / would like to know is this:
II any man and woman may &c into
any state and get 'hitched' without

THE INLAND WATERWAY EXTENSION.

ea HE State Waterways League, organized on the coast to pro
mote the project of extending the inland waterway from
Bay Head northward to connect with the Shrewsbury and
New York bay, has cogent arguments to advance in favor of an
enterprise that will benefit the entire coast and many great State
interests. IT will complete the inland waterway now under con
struotion between Cape May and Bay Head, which at its northerly
terminus ends nowhere. The proposed extension viii take advan
rage of many natural waterways and lakes. BY opening up new
EARNING sections the waterway would create taxable wealth. 1t
would open up the great market of New York for South Jersey
fsh, oysters and CLAIMS, as we'll as produce. It would materially
helm to destroy the mosquito pest. 1t would be used by all kinds
vt pleasure craft and be an important feeder for the summer resorts
on the coast. The small shipping that now plies along the coast
and encounters dangers can use the waterway in entire safety
The project is feasible. Why should not the waterway extension

any troublesome questions being asked
why may these people not get "un-
hitched" without so much trouble? 1t
seems terribly inconsistent and illog1-
cal.
Marriage is a beautiful thing, Of
course, but there is bound to be trouble
SO long as there is no difficulty about
getting married.
II 1t were not so easy to set mar
ried perhaps there would not be SO
many divorces. ! am not offering any
remedy, 1 do not know of any, but the
whole business seems one of the glazing
inconsistencies of our present system
which might be corrected.

A NEW BRIDGE ACROSS THE pAssAIc.

~ BRIDGE over the Passaic river at ElwOod or Delavan ave
k nue., was projected several years ago, but the enterprise was
halted by a dispute relating both TO the location of the
bridge and its height above the water. A bill to authorize the
boards of freeholders of Essex and Hudson counties to build a
bridge passed the Assembly this week, and will doubtless pass the
Senate. 1t will then remain to settle the question as to where the
bridge ends shall be placed and what height shall. be given the
bridge. In this construction the two counties should build for the
future. The height given to the bridge should allow for the naviga-
zion that will be had when the river bed shall be dredged to make
n fairly deep channel between Newark and Passaic. 1t would be a
great blunder and a repetition of previous blunders if a bridge
should be built to be an obstruction to navigation.

Gated on the birthday of the late presi-

Now it appears to me that it would
be eminently fit and proper that on the
day before that birthday Ut happens to
fall on a Saturday this year, the public
schools, and the private and parochial
schools, for that matter also, should
dedicate a few hours to the memory of
the man in whose honor the monument
is to be erected. Much could be said
by intelligent instructors to the pupils
about his life and work, his sterling
patriotism and American manhood.
