THE PROPOSED CANAL QUESTION SETTLEMENT.

IT T is only needed to compare the terms of the proposed settle
ment of the Norris canal question, tentatively made by the
canal lessees with the State, with the terms of the canal
honesty of that bill. The Fielder bill virtually gave no recognition
to the States rights in the canal and none whatever TO the States
rights in the canal basin. The bill proposed that the railroad
company should appropriate the whole property outright and give
to the State only that which the company could not possibly carry
off. that is to say, the dams on the lakes, some land under the
waters of the lakes and lapsed water rights. By the Fielder plan
of sale of the canal property there could be only one bidder, the
railroad company or its nominee, as all the residue from the sale
would go to the railroad company, which could therefore bid any
txtravagant amount, since it would have nothing to pay except the
stock and bonded Indebtedness. The agreement now provides that
onehalf the proceeds of sale shall go to the State. This provision,
however, will still bear close examination. For its equity in the
two CANA basins at Jersey City, estimated to be worth from twenty
to thirty millions to a railroad, the State is to get half a million
in cash and be relieved from repaying taxes which the Chancery
Court has said were properly and justly assessed, since the company
has had entire use of the property for railroad purposes, contrary
10 the canal charter. The State is also relieved of the repayment
of more than 100000, representing principal and interest of the
$4,000 which the company paid to the State Riparian Commission
for its equity in the canal basin of 1867. How much the State will
gain by the transfer to the State of the canal property between
Paterson and the Delaware river and at the lakes from whence the
canal water supply is drawn is yet to be seen. But the whole
subject is RELOCATED to the next Legislature, so no harm is done
as yet. In 1912 the State will act on the question with its eyes
wide open. The canal abandonment" question can no longer be
juggled with by railroad officials, politicians and lobbyists and
obscured for the people of the State.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t seems to me that the protest ut

a just one. Whatever the bill Is, the
teachers protest against it is made
on the ground that neither the teach
ers nor the people have had an OPP
p~ortunity to discuss the measure.
The teachers surely are in a position
to tell whether the measure is desir-
able or not. That their protest Is based
or just grounds is evident to me by
the fact that although I read the
papers regularly, 1 have heard nothing
of the measure, mac but for the fact
of their protest being voiced in this

A NATIONAL GUARD EMANCIPATION.

oTa HE first act of emancipation of the National Guard of the
State from the rule of a selfish and narrowlninded ohgarehy
of departmental officers at Trenton was witnessed yester-
day in the enactment of the officers retirement bill, a necessary
and imperative measure for the welfare of the National Guard,
which this oligarchy made desperate efforts to defeat or emascu-
late. The object of the bill was simply to legally carry out the will
of the Legislature, expressed in a law passed two years ago and
declared invalid by the Court of Errors, a law demanded not only
by the National Guard, but also by the requirements of the Federal
government. 1t was so just and necessary and so entirely in harmony
with military regulations all over the world that the opponents of
the bill didn't have a logical leg to limp upon, so they resoted't 10
misrepresentation and even chicanery. and they were finally dis
comfted. Not with any show of decency could the Senate place
itself in the position of perpetuating 4 system that was the
laughter of all military men and the modification of State guards
men generally. Yesterday was the beginning of the end of dis
ability in the National Guard. and also of its domination by a few
men of the old militia type, who are hostile to the plans of the Fed
eral government to make the National Guard an effective auxiliary
of the regular army.

About Men

Captain Christie. of the Third pre-
cinct. tells this story;
A sweet little girl who talked very
fast had occasion to get two tickets to
Duluth. When she arrived at the
ticket agents window 1t was just be-
fore train time, and she was in a great
hurry.
The ticket agent was sitting calmly
tipped back in a chair, reading the
paper. when he saw the vision of a
pretty girl waving her hand at him
through the window, saying: TWO to
Duluth" repeated over and over. She
was saying it so rapidly that 1t sounded
to the agent like TOO to do loo, too
to de loo" Not to be outdone, he
waved back at her, saying, Tee te de
lee. Tee te de lee, oh you kid"

Mr.. Blumenstiel, a New York lawyer,
who is interested in a Newark bank
ruptcy case, appeared in the local court
the other day and found the place fun
with a dozen cases to be called before
his. Blumenstiel Is a very active man,
that is. he hates to be standing around
doing nothing. and the way the situa-
ton looked that day he was booked to
wait for several hours before his case
would be called.
The lawyer was bemoaning his Ill
luck when he called his client to con
suit with her. When told she would
have to wait several hours the woman
exclaimed: but, Mr.. B~lumenstiel, my
three children are home sick with the
measles, l don't feel well myself and
have to be back in the house in a short
,ime."
With a wink at the clerk Blumenstiel
approached Referee Edwin G. Adams,
who was sitting in the court, and told
him Of the woman's predicament. II
there is n thing that Referee Adams
likes 1t is a well-ventilated court room,
insuring pure fresh air for the occr-
pants. He did not want anyone there
to contract measles and ssure Blu
menstiei that the circumstances war
ranted his case being disposed of at

AN ACT UNIQUE IN STATE LEGISLATION.

NV o act of any New Jersey Legislature had a record in legisla-
AN ton to parallel that of the Record Geran bill, which has
now been made a law. The history of that bill is without
any precedent. 1t is unique. Drafted by a Republican who had
been defeated for Congress in the election that gave the State a
Democratic governor and House of Assembly, adopted by the Demo
cratic governor and introduced in the Legislature as an admins
tration measure, conferred upon for many weeks, altered in nearly
all it's original features, passed by the House with SO many errors
and imperfectons that about two hundred changes were made in the
bill in the Senate, finally passed by a Republican Senate, and within
a few hours of the adjournment of a prolonged session signed by
the Governor. 1t has taken fifteen weeks of the session to enact
the bill. Surely it cannot be said in this case that the Legislature
acted without proper deliberation. There never was a bill more
deliberately enacted. and, if time and care in legislation are of value,
then the new law should prove satisfactory in its results.

NEWARK LEFT OUT IN THE COLD.

II F the Morris canal property between Paterson and New York
bay shall be put up for sale to bidders the city of Newark will
be a very much interested party, for more than a mile and a
half of the canal lies in Newark and the canal passes through the
heart of the city and through valuable property. When the charter
is extinguished all rights under the charter are lost and the city
can have no claim under the canal company contract TO the site
of Centre Market, unless by arrangement or purchase. If the canal
right of way shall be bid for by a railroad or trolley company the
city will have no chance to purchase, for the agreement that the
lessee shall have half the proceeds of sale will enable its nominee
to outbid all other bidders. The States commissioners, in their
negotiations with the attorneys of the canal lessee, paid no atten-
ton to any rights possessed by Newark and Jersey City. They
are left to shift for themselves.

XIV. LUTHERAN VARIETIES.

In this place we shall for the nrsE
time consider how to tell what occu-
pations persons are fitted for as shown
by the hands. All Jupiterians have am
bition. But one will be ambitious TO
succeed as a lawyer or statesman or
writer. another as a banker or railroad
magnate or merchant. still another will
aim at leadership in the world OF
pleasure. Social functions will be his
aim and goal In lie.
You tell the first sort-those that
make success in the mental sphere
their goaf-by the long first phalanx
OF the index finger. When the second
phalanx is longest you have before you
the Jupiterian who wishes to lead in
the commercial world.
Each in his own sphere will, more
over, be guided by impulses indicated
by the finger tips. If the tips are comic
or pointed everything will be done with
an eye to artistic effect. The love of
the beautiful predominates. If the tip
be square practical common sense
reigns in everything your Jupiterian
sphere undertakes.
Spatulate tips will give restless ,ac-
tivity and great originality. In this
case the lawyer will nave ecourse to
unusual means for accomplishing his
end. Like the one who, as the climax
to his address to the jury in a South
