The article published in last Sundays
TATTLER on calculations and advertising
created genuine sensation among the
advertisers Of the town, but has drawn no
response frem either of the local papers.
The journal still keeps the lie about it's cir
culation being equal to three times that of
all the other papers in Hudson County
combined at the head of its columns, to
fool and deceive advertisers, but has not
ventured to justify itself against the TAT
Tiers attack because, of course, it can't),
while the Argns has deemed it prudent to
keep its mouth shut, too. But it must be
said for the Argus that DR.. Gossoon, the
editor, has been away for week, and he
had not probably read the TATTLER's arti-
Gle when he sat down, week ago, to pen
in advance the editorials that have appeared
during his absence.

The appropriations for Camden city are
so heavy this year, and the county quota SO
large that tax rate of So seems probable.
This has alarmed the heavier taxpayers
and they have passed resolutions request
ing the Boards of Aldermen and Education
to hold conference and see if they cannot
economize in some way and SO reduce the
tax-levy The boards have not yet acted on
the suggestion.

The proposition made by Sister Glare,
world famed as the Nun of Kenmare, to
take some of the pauper girls from the
almshouse to her newly-estsblished home
in this city, may run afoul of some religious
prejudices, but it would certainly benefit
the girls. There is no place on earth more
demoralizing to youth, and girls especially,
than the foul atmosphere, physical and
moral, of our County Almshouse.

The early closing movement, looking
to the shutting up Of shops at
8 P. NJ, is one that should have the en-
dorsement Of every merchant in Jersey City
at least during the warm weather~ The
clerks need recreation and this trifing con-
cession is not mneh for them to ask nor for
their employers to concede. It would be a
benefit to the employers also, for it is an
old motto that "All work and no play
makes Jack dull 10y"

According to the Trenton Times, some
clerical aud temperance orator once
commenced an address to the State Senate
after this fashion: Senators of New Jer-
sey Most of you are husbands and all of
you are fathers !" The orators blunder
had such an effect that the Senate, when
it came to the clerical gentleman's bill,
voted almost unanimously against it. All
the eloquence the speaker had suisse
quently developed had been discounted in
advance by that one ridiculous blunder.

The charges made by Mayor Thinker
against the Freeholders, to the effect that
they would not give him contract, even
when he was the lowest bidder, will hardly
hold water, unless there was some legiti-
mate reason for their action. But why
don't the Mayor try Jim Fisks plan?
Whenever Jim found any of his numerous
enemies getting the better of him, he
ways sued out mandamus to compel them
to do or not do what would most facilitate
his purpose g Jim said there was moth
ing in the world so efficient as mandamus.
About the only man he never tried it on
was Ed Stokes. If he had only mandamused
Stokes in time, he might be alive to-day.
Let Mayor Timken put in his bid, and then,
if he is the lowest, let him compel the
Freeholders to show cause why he shouldn't
have the contract.

Newark has had high old German time
during the past week and beer has flowed
like water. Altogether it was mammoth
festival for Germans, even, famed as they
are for great events of that kind. And now
the Newark Turner's are going to prolong
their fest by sending delegation to Dres-
den to take part in the mid summer festiv-
tiles of that city. The German people know
how to eojoy themselves, and Americans
may well take lesson from them in that
respect.

The case of Tax Collector Anderson, of
West Hoboken, presents several curious
features. Although his accounts are about
$25, 900 short there is no reason to believe
he ever pocketed cent of the town
moneys. He had loose way of keeping
books, and when the errors are straighten-
elk out the deficiency viii probably be
largely reduced. One of Collector Ander-
sons ways of doing business was to remit
the interest due from honest but unfortun-
ate taxpayers. However creditable this
may have been to his heart his head was
not level when he did it, Of course he had
no authority for this action and unless the
Town Council decides to approve the re-
missions Collector Anderson will have to
make good the deficiency thereby occa-
stoned.

Hackensack is in ferment over the estab-
lishment of a toll gate in the middle of the
main street of the village. The people are
very indignant about the outrage. and are
holding public meetings to devise means of
relieving themselves of the imposition. One
very simple means would be to refuse to
pay. The street may be continuation of
the Bergen plank road, but that part which
runs through the village is graded and mac
adamized at the public expense. Another
fact is, that the village being Incorporated
its citizens have certain rights which turn
pike company is bound to respect One Of
these is the right to use any public street
within the corporate and to go from one
part of the town to another. If the people
cannot do any better let them tear down
the toll-gate and SO compel the company to
take the matter into court That would be
a very simple test and the chance of a con-
viction on any criminal charge the company
might bring would be very remote. The
trouble seems to be that with the multipli-
cation of roads through North Hudson and
the completion of the West Shore Ferry
road. the plank road is becoming a losing
investment and the company is trying to
compel the county to buy its plant for
$4,000. 1t would be much cheaper to in
dite as a nuisance.

This inquest III progress in the Union
Hill homicide csse is but another illustra-
ton of the utter inutility of these exp en-
sive investigations. Before the inquest had
been commenced, it was known just how
and why the dead man died, and the man
who was responsible for his death was in
custody. Yet the coroner has already held
two sittings to find out what everybody
knew in advance. and proposes to hold as
many more as he can make possible. No
one will learn single new fact from the
investigation, and it can only result in the
commitment to await the action of the
Grand Jury, of the prisoner who had been
arrested by the police without the aid Of
the coroner, and who could just as well
have been committed by the police without
his aid. It's about time that these farcical
Investigations which, if they do anything
at all. defeat rather than serve the ends of
jiistice-were put an end to. The "coro-
ner" has been laughing stock long
enough. He has ceased to be valuable,
even as butt of ridicule.

The offices of the Presidential post Offices
of this State have just undergone their
annual re-adjustment, the new scale going
into effect on Wednesday. The changes
are not many. Jersey City remains at its
old figure, $4,000; Hoboken also is I'M
changed from its regular 50, 400; Bergen
Point gets raise from 1900 to 81, 500;
Weehawken is lifted from 81, 700 to 81 800;
vineland jumps from 81, 800 to $1,000 and
Somerville from 81, 600 to $1,000; Brick
Church the same Nineteen places are cut
one hundred dollars, one of them, singul-
arly enough, being Camden. Woodbury.
loses $500 and Hackettstown and Moeris-
town 5000 each. But the greatest cut is at
Washington, which falls-we might say
tumbles- from So, 100 to 1920. This is
occasioned by the failure of Beatty, the
music-man, whose large mail is cut off,
while hundreds of his workmen have gone
elsewhere. But the feature of this post
Office business which is most likely to strike
the reader is the apparent inequality of
some of the salaries. Weehawken IS hardly
larger place than Somervllle, and yet its
post-ofice salary is q hundred dollars
greater. Nor does it seem proper that
Weehawken should draw 81, 800 against
1920 for Jersey City. There is probably
some explanation of this which does not
appear on the surface, because the same
rule holds good all over the State, the little
village of Montclair also receiving $1,000.
Very likely the postmasters at these places
have to hire their own help or there may
be perquisites, whose preponderance in the
larger offices more than equalizes the
emoluments. If not, then the small offices
are largely over-paid or Jersey Cityis vastly
underpaid.

1t was scarcely to be expected that either
of the daily local prints. which are owned
neck and heel by the Pennsylvania Rail
Road Company, could be persuaded to
make public the allegations upon which
the charge of collision between Senators
Mcpherson and Sewell is based. The
TATTIER does not find it pleasant duty
either to make them public. But the TAT
Tier is newspaper, and whatever there is
of interest in the nature of news within its
reach, it is its bounden duty to furnish it
to its readers We therefore reprint to-day
from the Trenton True American, the start
ling story of the said-to-haye- been-over-
heard conversation between the two Sena-
tors. in which the bargain of each to sell
out his party to the other is said to
have been made. We do this without Know
ing whether there is any truth in this ALI
cation or not, and only to put our readers
ia possession of the latest feature of State
politics. AS we said last Sunday morning
the general charge that Senators MePher-
son and Sewell had entered into COM
bination is not by any means new one !;
but the story of this particular conference,
as we copy it this morning, is more specific
than it has ever been told before. Ii it
were merely the bald assertion of the True
american we should pay as little attention
to it as the True american is entitled to re-
spect; but it is generally understood that
Secretary of State Kelsey is the real author
ity for the narrative; and what of secret
information he is willing to give concerning
the movements of the politicians, is always
interesting and never without some founia-
ton in fact.

once. Here are a few of the conundrums:
What is Daltons atomic theory?
Describe spectrum analysis.
Discuss carbon and its compoun DIS.
gases.
What organs of the body are affected by such dis
eases as malaria asthma, consumption land several
other complaintsl
Now how many people out Of a given
hundred can answer any one of these
questions? And yet we don't suppose a
letter carrier could deliver letter properly
without being able to answer them all. The
people, without regard to politics. should
give this matter their attention, or the day
may come when they will not be allowed
to vote without answering these questions.
1t begins to look as if Republicanism was
no longer republican, nor Democracy dem
ocratic. The gentlemen who established
this government evidently pack of be-
nighted old idiots. 1t is a lucky thing for
the country they are all dead.

There Was Money in it.

Not so many years ago but that most
readers can easily remember It, the idea
of the telephone was looked upon as a
visionary scheme that never would a.
mount to anything, practically. at
that time, many of those that believed
in the invention, and bought all the
stock they could in the Bell telephone
company, were very poorly off In con-
sequence but they held on to their
stock and now they haye their reward.
Professor Bell, the inventor, has a
snug fortune of five millions. Mr..
Blake bids poverty defiance from be-
hind an intrenchment of four millions.
Mr.. w. II. Forbes is credited with a.
bout as much as both OF these gentle
men together, and Mr.. G. G.. Hubbard
enjoys as the reward of his early fore
sight and courage upwards of three
millions. Mr.. Theodore N. Vail, who
was at one time an operator, devotes
the little time he spares from the gener-
al management of the American Bell
telephone company to the care of pri-
vate fortune estimated at not less than
four millions. 1t is also said that a.
mong the telephone millionaires must
he placed Alexander Cochran and &. 2.
Bowditch with about three millions
each, and Thomas Sanders with not
less than two and a half millions.
There are many others besides these
mentioned.
Many large manufacturing concerns
have done an immense and profitable
business in connection with the tele-
phone. The Western Union Telegraph
company draws annually now about
$400, 900 as royalty from the American
Bell company, and wants more.
The various sums just mentioned
foot up nearly forty million dollars j; a
quarter of that sum would be magifi-
cent yield from an enterprise only nine
year cd. The patent is supposed to be
worth twenty five million dollars, and
the money now invested in operating
the telephone is over one hundred mil
lion dollars. When the full history of
the early days of the telephone in A
merica is written, it Will be as thrilling
as a romance.
