JANUARY 26, 1905. years asro, a Bay State orator of immortal fame correctly described the preamble of the immortal Declaration as "a string of glittering generalities." They still glitter, and they will go on glittering and fascinating for ages, perhaps, but they will never be possible of utilization as a basts of human government. But our Boston contemporary continues its remarks In this vein: "Undoubtedly this was an Important omission. The stand which Mr. Hoar took In this matter was peculiarly characteristic of the very, attributes which his eulogist cited as distinguishing him above tlie average man in public life.

In his other efforts, Mr. Hoar had at his back the support of a great party. In his great fight for Justice and humanity and liberty he stood In antagonism to his party. Yet he did not he dared it all bravely. "It la easy to understand why Mr.

Lodge preserved absolute silence regarding this latest and most important phase of Senator Hoar's patriotism. His mouth was closed; to mention it would be to Invite controversy in which the eulogist must perforce become the denouncer. "But in the Mctorv of the republic, as It will be written and read by those who come after us. there will be no chapter so uplifting as that in which Is told the story of Mr. Hoar's championship, in the face of certain defeat, of those ideas which form the foundation of American liberty i I i a i South.

Wiley, of the Agricultural Department, had emphatically denied the statements attributed to him in connection with whiskies made or corsumed in this Those state- as we recall them, were to the effect a S5 per cent, of the American i was spurious or adulterated, while for so-called Scotch whisky, not a single package at present on the market was a a pure. He was reported as saying that the domestic article is a a concoction, frequently unwholesome, whereas the smoky flavor of the Scotch, which so many of us pretend to enjoy, is imparted by means' of creosote. All of which, according to the "staff correspondent" in question, ProC. "Wiley Indignantly repudiated and otherwise back. Now comes Prof.

Wiley, with eye disheveled and hair in fine rolling, i his alleged denial and issuing a fresh proclamation of his faith. He declares a 85 per cent, of our American whisky is adulterated, as previously announced, and indignantly repe'g the suggestion that he has ever for a moment wobbled on that oracle. He stands hy his original edict ana incidentally, if not by direction and with i i purpose, dismisses to the limbo of discredit and eternal obloquy all who say him nay. As to mere aetails. we are not solemnly informed.

but, on the contrary, very considerably something else. What are we going to do about it? i i i of While it is scarcely possible to place an exaggerated estimate on the evils incident to child labor--the impairment of physical and mental health, the warping of mind and body, effects that cannot be confined to a single generation--it Is an obvious a great discretion is de- mandied- in the treatment of this abuse if tnose who seek to reform it would avoid offsetting the good they do with a midable, accumulation of evil, a result, by the way, that is often achieved by sincere but misdirected attempts at reform in various The New York Mail gives some suggestive facts from the experience of the Northern secretary of the National Child Labor Association, Mr Owen Lovejoy, probably a descendant of the hisiroric character of that name. The Mail says that Mr. Secretary Lovejoy has collided "with a food, hard, old- fashioned prejudice in trying to get some small boys out of the factories and into schools." For example, when this official has gone to certain, largie employers of labor with his request that trouble should be saved by getting- boys under the working age into school, the Mail says he has been met i the objection that the boys at work are not of the sort who would be benefited in their lives by any more education. "If the boy's got it in him," said one such employer to Mr, Lovejoy, "he will learn anyway, and if not, there's no use trying to- teach him.

The law ou-ght to take this into And the president of a large manufacturing concern said: "Nothing will do a boy so much good as to learn trade. It will do him more good to work here than to go to school. If a fellow has got it in him he will educate himself There is a deal of solid truth in the camp in Florida, showed up. in uni- assertions of those employers, but it in the end of the Capitol, and a use of his prestige aa leader of the Democratic party to defeat Gorman anel Hoar and secure ratification of the a a a a is the one great act and a in Bryan's phenomenal career Compared i that, all else that he has shrinks to insignificance The i i i of a a lives and not less th.m S200.OOO,(X)0 of treasure, and no reciprocal gain, measure in part the size, up to a of a gigantic mistake.

Xo other public character was more offensive to Senator Hoar or more con- spoken of by him than the i Nebraskan Now that large numbers of Democratic papers are lauding the great Senator for his course on the i i i question, is it a i to construe their a a i as condemnation of the man who a and brought to a the Senator's noble purpose and great to save his country from a a a i new departure, a tragic break- Ing a a from revered traditions and safe precedents? Our contemporary's allusion to "the principles of the Declaration of Independence" is not felicitous.

As those principles were disregarded by the framers of our Constitution and out of that i as far out as possible, by a i consent, and as the only serious attempt to apply those principles, to wit, the fifteenth amendment, was, next to secession, the saddest mistake in our history, there was no reason for their application to the Filipinos. Almost fifty would be a great and cruel mistake to appiv- their argument to all boys', and it seems impossible, in framing laws, to make the needful discrimination between boys who would and boys who- would nol benefited by attendance at school. As to little girls, no snich argument has any force. They are not only more liable than boys to injury by labor, but the consequences of such injury are more serious and far-reaching. A Years By printing each day an extract from its issue of a century ago the London Times furnishes frequent and) striking illustrations of the of these lines i "The Deacon's Masterpiece; or, The Wonderful One-Hoss Shay:" "Little of all we value here Wakes on the morn ot its hundredth year Without both looking and feeling queer.

Therefore, we think the xmdon Times may do humanity a real service by bringing out every-day illus- ratibns of the social or political life of hundred years ago. One of the greatest jf all the changes is the creation of the modern newspaper. It Is not practicable present-reliable statistics) of this mar- el, but It is a. safe proposition that the number of columns or the weight of the tewspapers printed in a single American itv on every Sunday morning exceeds he daily output of newspapers in the orld a hundred years ago.

But we are missing the object of this article, which was suggested by the Boston Heraldl's mention of the fact that the. London Times on the 10th of January printed an extract from the Times of January 10, 805, containing the following statement: The estimate of the expenditures of the Unltea States for the present year has been lalS before, he House of Representatives. It consists of civil 1st, miscellaneous expenses, ex- ienses ot intercourse with foreign nations, $269550; nilitary establishment, naval establlsh- $1.240,000, making altogether the sum of 3.375.435." On that the Herald makes these com- nents-: "This Is about one two-hundredth of our present ational expenditures, and yet at that time ours -vas a weak nation In wealth and defensive power. Why ts it that It costs us about 200 times more to lefend ourselves now, when we are strong, than aid then, when we were lacking In The contrast between 1805 and 1905 in ne cost of our national housekeeping is it least interesting, and the Herald's inquiry is pertinent. And yet it cannot be charged, with any show of justice, that ur army is too large or that our navy 5 as yet in excess of reasonable requirements, whatever may be thought of plans or its Indefinite, strengthening.

"We think is a fact that no work of our government has been more generally and heart- ly approved! than the creation of the new But it is enormously expensive, and must have a limit. Georgetown a i From the classic heights of staid and respectable old Georgetown there comes Macedonian cry for help. The historic town feels isolated. It is a part of Wash- ngton, paying its taxes on a basis equal with all other sections of the District, and yet the facilities for communication across Rock -Creek are both restricted and dangerous. The demand for an improvement in these conditions is urgent.

From the day when Georgetown, after an existence of more than a century, became as West Washington, and hus lost its individuality, the hope has been expressed that Rock Creek, the atural dividing line, would be abolished, and the two cities be merged in fact as they now are in name. Many schemes have been suggested. One of the earliest propositions contemplated the arching of the valley of the creek, with a boulevard above the arch, this boulevard to form a.n attractive drive from Kalorama Heights to the park along the river front. The expensive scheme of the McMillan park commission provided for keeping the valley open, with a driveway along the bank of the creek, and i handsome bridges at close intervals. One of the most reasonable and practical plans proposed the construction of a tunnel rom Lyons' Mill, under Twenty-fifth street, through which the waters of the creek would be diverted to the Potomac, and which would allow the filling up of the valley.

All of these plans, however, were costly 'and time-consuming, so that the citizens of Georgetown, unwilling to wait for the realization of very remote possibilities, now appeal for a bridge across street, so that the present generation will not be compelled to suffer any longer the annoyance of serious conditions. There is no doubt that the demand is worthy of consideration. The street bridge, which 's the only direct metns of access to the northern part of Georgetown, is crowded with a double trolley track, while the narrow, stone-paved street which leads from the bridge is a dangerous thoroughfare, scarcely enough space being allowed between the curb and the car track for a vehicle to pass. At the same time, every one r-KUlzes that the day must come when Rock Creek, which is now little more than an open and unsightly sewer, will be covered by a. continuous arch or be carried through a tunnel.

Any other solution of the problem will be temporary and unsatisfactory. This being the case, it would seem to expend a large sum ($200,000) for the construction of a handsome 'bridge across street, especially when that amount represents about one- third of the cost of the tunnel project. A structure of this character would sim- pjy tend to postpone the inauguration of the more permanent and desirable improvement. As, however, the citizens of Georgetown really need a new bridge north of street, some arrangement ought to be made whereby this necessity can be met without interfering with the permanent plan. This result can be reached by erecting a plain but substantial iron bridge, temporary but safe, which can fulfill its required duty during the few years that will intervene before the tunnel is constructed.

A bridge of this character, after doing service as long as needed, could be removed and made to serve elsewhere, thus preventing a total loss of the money Invested. In short, the present street bridge ought to be abandoned by vehicles; but the erection of the new structure should not be regarded as indicating a policy of a series of bridges over Rock Creek. On the contrary, that malodorous stream ought to be removed from sight as soon as possible. Its presence amounts almost to a disgrace. Attention is again called to the fact that former Senator Wellington proposes to return to public life.

Buffalo Commercial: Under all the circumstances tlie people of the United Statea will care very little for what the Bussian. Ambassador at Washington may say about the situation at St. Petersburg. He will Say precisely what he Im ordered or to The bearer of one of the most historic names of the French the Marquis de Torcy, who counts among his ancestors marshals, ministers of state, and a lord high constable, or seneschal, of the realm, has been selected as commander-ln- chief of the army assembled at Constantine in Algeria, for the purpose of effect- Ing the military occupation of Morocco. Theoretically the Moorish empire is already subject to the protectorate of France.

The latter proposes to make her control effective. This, it Is well known, cannot be accomplished without bloodshed, as the Moors are resolved to oppose the invasion of their country by any kind of foreigners and unbelievers, and are particularly antagonistic to the French. Their resistance Is likely to take the form of a guerrilla warfare, very trying to the invading army, and that is why the troops, some 30,000 in number, assembled beneath the command of the MarQuis de Torcy constitute a picked force in every sense of the w-ord. The general presents a good deal of analogy to Lord Kitchener, and has the same piercing gray blu'e eyes. Slightly over six feet high, thin, lean-flanked, with a Norman nose, he seems to have muscles of steel and is a superb horseman, ignorant of the meaning of the word "fatigue." An amusing story is told of him In connection with his presence in India 'as special military attache on 'the occasion of the immense maneuvers of the entire Anglo-Indian army held by Lord Roberts a year or so before he resigned its command.

One day when all the troops were assembled at the close of the morning's operations and the commanding officers and i i a attaches were gathered near a clumc of treos-aiound Lord? Roberts to hear his criticisms, suddenly an impudent wild boar burst forth from among the underbrush and dasned past the group. Without an instant's hesitation the Mar- truis de Torcv snatched a lance from one of the troopers of Lord Roberts' bodyguard and raced oft a the pig, along almost the entire front ol the troons, before he transfixed his 'nvarry in the most approved fashion, the feat earning for him I he highest degree of favor which British officers and men have ever accorded to a. foreign comrade, and particularly the good will of Lord Roberts, who at these same maneuvers, carried off the honors in the tent-ppgging competition. Gen. de Torcy was chef de cabinet of old Gen.

Billot when the latter was minister of war, and was chief of staff to Gen. Duschene, who in 1895, by the conauest of Madagascar, added that huge and enormously rich island to France's colonial possessions. More recently he has been in command at He is not only a thorough sportsman in the Anglo-Saxon sense of tho word, and a member of the leading Parisian clubs, but is likewise a devout, churchman, and that he should have been selected for his present command in spite of his religious sentiments, of his title, and of his ancestry shows that the prejudice of the existing- republican government in Franco against officers who are good Catholics and aristocrats is not quite so strong as alleged by the Paris Figaro and other newspapers. "With regard to the rumors concerning the marriage of the King of Spain, it. is well to bear in mind that the daughters of A Fiedorick, who are now staying with him at Madrid, are first cousins ot Don Alfonso, and that a matrimonial alliance between, him and would not only be contrary to the canonical laws of the Roman Catholic Church, but likewise be open to objections oil the grounds of the physical and moral degeneracy arising from consanguinity.

The King's constHution, in spite of. the splendid training which he has received, is not particularly strong. It is of the utmost importance for the sake of the dynasty that he should be the father of strong and healthy children, and these are not likely to be obtained by any marriage i the first cousin. Moreover, the Hapsburgs have never been popular in Spain. The a i with which that blameless and sagacious woman.

Queen Christina, had to contend throughout the minority of her son arose not so much from her foreign birth as from the fact 'that she was a daughter of the reigning: house of Austria. Archduke Frederick's daughters r.re pleasant girls, but they are not particularly well favored, and cannot, as far as good looks are concerned, bear any comparison with either Princess Patricia of England or Duchess Marie Antoinette of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Indeed, the latter remains the most likely candidate for the position of consort to Don Alfonso. In this connection. It is interesting to recall the fact that her aunt, the lovely Princess Oiga Windiscngraetz, was at one time on the point of becoming the bride- of the late King of Spain.

At the last the match was broken off, and Alfonso XII married Archduchess Christina of Austria instead, while "Princess Olga wedded the late Count Andrea de Mocenigo, the last survivor in the male line of the illustrious Venetian family of that name. That the police in Russia is not so all- powerful a-s people abroad have been led to believe is shown by the fact that the imperial Senate, which is the final covirt of appeal, has confirmed the judgment given by the -lower courts against Gen. Trepoff, the chief of the Moscow police, in favor of a woman who kept a registry omce for governesses at Moscow, and who was able to show that the police had closed her office and thus ruined her business without any just cause. Tiie courts awarded her damages to the extent of 40,000 rubles, which, Gen. Trepoff, after endeavoring in vain to shift the responsibility to the back of the "former governor general, Grand Duke Sergius, will now be obliged to pay.

This is by no means the only instance of chiefs of police being condemned by the Russian courts to pay damages to people who have been ruined by their abuse of authority. A good deal of confusion has been created by the tenor of the cable dispatches concerning the impending: renewal of the divorce suit of Sir Charles Hartopp against his wife. The latter does not belong to the Tranby Croft Wilsons, and is only a niece of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur WiJ- s-on, at whose country seat of that name the memorable house party, which developed into the so-called baccarat cause celebre, took place.

Lady Hartopp's father and mother are the Charles "Wilsons of Warter Priory, and although Charles and Arthur Wilson are brothers and partners in the great ship-owning firm which bears their name at Hull, yet there is no love lost between their respective families and but little intercourse. A striking illustration thereof was given by the fact that soon after the last Hartopp divorce trial, the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire who had warmly espoused Sir Charles' case against his wife, had him staying with them at Chatsworth at the same time as Muriel "Wilson, the daughter, of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wiison. The report of the engagement of Lord Clarendon's daughter, Lady Edith Villiers just at this junc'ure to Lord Cowley is amazing.

For inasmuch as Lord Cowley, popularly known as "Toby," has been cited again by Sir Charles as co- respondent in his divorce suit, which conies up for trial very shortly, it would seem that a. more propitious time might have been chosen to proclaim the engagement. Perhaps the engagement will be denied. Indeed, it seems difficult to believe that Lady Edith's father, Lord Clarendon, -who as Lord Chamberlain has shown so much judgment and tact in the fulfillment of the somewhat 'delicate functions of his office, should approve of the announcement of betrothal at this moment, or that he should view with satisfaction the contemplated match. But the discussion the report has caused--especially in connection with Lord Cowley's bttentlons to Lady Hartopp--naturally served to recall the treatment which his mother received at the hands of the present Duke of Beaufort, who, after having been her devoted swain and remained single on her account for nearly a quarter of a century, married, when she became free to a woman twenty years "her junior.

DB CAPITOL CHAT. Two farmer Congressmen yesterday fell to discussing the peach crop in Delaware and New Jersey. One of them alluded to a malarial district in the trees being badly affected thereby. He said, however, had cured his peach trees by Injecting calomel and quinine in generous quantities under the bark. "Oh, I believe that story," replied Representative Gardner, of New Jersey.

"It's entirely plausible, but. I want to tell you about a beautiful peach tree that grew near my house. It was the oldest tree In my orchard, and" had been bearing luscious fruit, till, because of olerjpage, the trunk began to decay, 'One day, as I was about to chop it down, along came a stranger, who, seeing the aged tree, inquired why I didn't spare such a fine specimen. He said he knew how to preserve it for many years. I told him to go ahead with any process of which he might have knowledge.

He went over to an old harrow, took out one of its big iron teeth, which he drove straight through the heart of that tree. "Well, the tree blossomed and again bore good fruit," said Mr. Gardner, soberly. "The iron for the fru.t came from the old harrow tooth." During the debate on the army bill yesterday Senator Nelson became much arotised over certain provisions with reference to additional pay for retired officers of the army. He began talking very earnestly, enforcing his views i of his big fist upon the desk, alt a i i sharp, hard of that fist against his other open hand.

"Will the Senator permit me a word right there?" inquired Mr. Lodge. "Why, certainly," saLl Mr. Nelson, courteously, but he right on with his speech, thumping his fist first on the desk and then in his open hand. "Will the Senator permit me?" inquired Mr.

Lodge asrain, after a brief period. "Why, certainly," reiterated Mr. Nelson, as he again launched earnestly into hiB argument. But Mr. Lodge was patient, and after two or three more efforts, before the smiling Senate, found an opportunity to have ftis say.

Senator MrCrearyi, of Kentucky, was the victim yesterday of Irish wit from a Vermont Republican. Dennis Flynn, who brought the electoral vote of the Green Mountain State to Washington, was walking up the hilt in company with the 1-Cen- tucky Senator. Flynn is himself very hefty. A not exceedingly tall he is exceedingly broad, and the weight on the solesi of his shoes- is great. As the two approached the Senate entrance a gust of wind blew around the corner of the Capitol with the force of a hurricane and nearly swept Senator McCreary over backwards.

Flynn was quick to the rescue, seizing the Senator by either arm andi pushrng him into an upright position. "Thank you. Thank you," saidi McCreary. "Not a bit of it," retorted 1 Flynn. "This is the first time in my life I ever supported a Democrat." Representative.Page, of Biscoe, N.

is in a. soich as comes rarely to members of Congress'. He is the treas- tirer and chief owner of the Asheboro and Aberdeen Railroad, some eighty miies long. There was a wreck o-n that road the other evening, in which Rev. G.

A. Ogle-sby, pastor of a neighboring church, "was killed. It was the first time any one ever killed on the road. Mr. Page was dioubly grieved over the occurrence because it was unfortunate for his road and also because the victim was- his warm" personal But, to add to Ms troubles.

Mr. Page learns that the dying request of Rev. Mr. Oglesby was that the member of Congress should be the administrator of his estate. As the estate -will naturally claim damages Mr.

Page feels that it -would put him in a delicate position to have to sue his own road. At the aa-me time he does not like to refuse compliance with a dying- friend's request. Representative Baker, of Brooklyn, delivered, a lengthy address in the House yesterday on the evils of a protective tariff. He opportunely likened it to the fierce storm which without, as could be seen plainly from the Capitol windows. The Brooklynite enforced the parallel by observing that the snowstorm and the protective tariff were in restraint of trade, following which he enlarged upon the tariff as the root of all evil and as producing most of suffering and mortality among the poor people right here in Washington Then he asked unanimous consent to extend; his remarks in the Record.

"I'shall object," interposed Representative 'McCleary, of Minnesota, "Who is an ultra protectionist, "unless the gentleman will confine himself to the subjects of this this Mr. Baker protested angrily, but finally withdrew the request, a thing i he has never before been known to do during his entire service in the House. Two-thirds of the Senate at one time yesterday afternoon were banked around the weather map in the rear lobby. The junction of two storms near Atlantic City and the complicated chalk lines that described the unusual meteorological situation proved almost as interesting as the debate on Gen. Miles.

Southern Senators were chilled at figures indicating the status of the mercury in their section. Senator McEnery, of Louisiana, a confirmed student of the weather map, remarked nonchalantly as he entered the Senatorial group a he allowed it was nice and baimy down on the Gulf. One glance at the record for New Orleans showed the mercury i i 36 points of the zero mark. The Senator shuddered at the thought of the cold and declined to look at certain arctic temperatures along the Northern border. "I didn't want to come up here at all to-day," said Senator Money, pressing up near the weather chart.

"I wish I were over in New Mexico with my son. The weather down there is sunny and existence must be charming." But In New Mexico the thermometer was near the zero point, and another Southern Senator moved briskly away with a bad case of shivers. 1 a Secretary Taft's brother, Editor Charles P. Taft. of Cincinnati, was an interesting visitor yesterday on the floor of the House.

He served in the Fifty-fourth Congress as a Republican. All Washington has had its joke about Secretaiy Taft's great avoirdupois. He is round and plump. Members of the House found entertainment in observing how the Secretary's brother is his physical opposite, tall, lean, and wiry. Providence and Autocracy.

From the Philadelphia Record. When the Czar shall recognize the true causes of Russia's weakness, the unspeakable corruption and paralyzing incompetence of the autocratic bureaucracy, the time when "God will give strength to our glorious army and navy to arise and break the forces of the enemy" will be perceptibly nearer. at present these glorious organizations have not the "strength to arise," much less to break the forces of an eiwmy whose military and naval administration is in all things tlie opposite of the Russian. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. PASSES ANJ MILEAGE.

Sad Fate that Is in Store for a Texas Member's BUI. JProm the Houston Post. The Hon. Morris Sheppard is strictly for reform, anfl the fact that it has been pretty well demonstrated that reform cannot flourish in the vicinity of Washington in no wise deters from making the effort. The bad habit of riding on, railroad passes is strictly in vogue at the National Capital, but Mr.

Sheppard has been one of the very few men in Congress who have proven strong enough to resist the temptation. But tfiis fact has not tended to make him vindictive and stern in his a i toward his colleagues. On the contrary. he is the same genial, generous-hearted gentleman that he was before he discovered his i i from the demoralizing influences to which nearly everybody else succumbs. Instead of desiring an untoward fate to overtake his brethren, he wants to save them from the rins that beset, them.

i well the weakness of the flesh which is usually so powerful--catch a it usually overcomes the righteousness of the spirit, he is i i to leave his colleagues exposed to danger, so lie has introduced a bill to de- fcrive those who pack passes of i mileage. i It is strange--strikingly so--that in dealing i the pass eiuestion, from the mileage standpoint, it did not occur to Mr. Sheppard to apply the square and compass of his ideality, so to speak, to the mileage question also. Surely. Mr.

Sheppard knows that mileage is not intended to be a bonus. It is intended merely to pay the a a a i expenses of a Representative from his home to the Capital and And in the earlier and more virtuous periods of the republic, when there were no railroads, the rate of mileage was based on the expenses of the journey. For instance, to travel forty miles in a stage coach cost the $8 i was allowed for mileage. Now the member elraws 20 cents a mile for traveling a distance which costs him either i or not more a 3 cents a mile. Mr.

Sheppard is sure it is wrong for a man to travel on railroad pass and then accept the 30 cents a mile. Is it not clear to him a to accept 20 cents a mile for traveling that cost 3 cents a mile is i i 3 cents a mile of being as bad as the free-pass a Why did not Mr. Sheppard a his bill provide simply a each member should certify to his actual traveling expenses, and that no more should be paid? Of course, the bill have been killed, but not any deader, by hokey, a the one he has i PEOPLE MET IN HOTEL LOBBIES. JERSEY'S REVENUE FROM TRUSTS. From the Chicago News.

Stokts, the iiew governor of New Jersey, stated some facts in his inaugural address which are of interest to people outside of his State. Congratulating the people of New Jersey on their good he stated that at the close of the last fiscal year the balance in 'their State treasury was over The i a reo( i for the same year, ho said, amounted to more a $4,302,000. The point of the governor's congratulation lay in the fact stated by him that "of the entire income of the government not a was contributed directly by the people," and that nearly 7X per cent, of it "came from railroads and the business companies domiciled in our State." These business companies, as we all know, arc mostly companies originating- outside of the State and doing most of i business elsewhere. The bigr steel corporation is a conspicuous example. By way a compliance with the law these companies have offices in New Jersey, which are within easy reach of their main offices, just across tho river in the city of New York.

These companies are the source of most of the revenue of which the people of New Jersey indirectly contribute only a trifle. Happy people! Gov. Stokes reminds them a the revenue of which they contribute not a penny directly not only suffices to meet ail the ordinary expenses of the State government, Including those for charities and education, but also to develop "a magnificent road system, embracing one-third of the macadam or State roads of the United States." The people of New Jersey have reason to fepl about as comfortable as a certain of Chicago which gets enough out of race tracks and a lot of saloons to cover nearly all its i expenditures. Gov. Stokes' inaugural is a shameless confession of Jersey selfishness and of a purpose still to shape its incorporation laws not for the good of the general public, but to get the utmost revenue out of and by making the trusts at home otherwise in New Jersey.

Englishmen Seeing a I ght. From the Baltimore Herald. English travelers are coming over in increasing numbers every year, and if the distances were as short or expenses as little as traveling on the continent we should get more of them. What has contributed as much as a i else to- compelling compliments from the English, who are slow to admit good things in other people, is the knowledge that the American men and women can take care of thcmselvts anywhere and under almost any conditions. They like our independence, which, as sensible Americans themselves admit.

But they get that the isolation of farmhouses is peculiar to America and that the descendants of European farmers who for a thousand years have lived in compact villages will not be content with the loneliness of farm, life in the Vnited States. The immigrants who till a single tenement-house with people from one village are simply living up to their social instinct.
