The people of Bergen County are going
into the fight next Tuesday on the basis OF
knocking out the Hackensack plank road
company no matter who gets hurt. And
SO far as the people of Hackensack are con-
cerned we can't say that we blame them.
Plank roads and toll gates may be neces-
sity in country districts but toll gate in
the centre of thriving town like Hacken-
sack is an outrage that no community
should tolerate. A man who wants to drive
from one part of the town to the other can
not do it without paying toll and that is an
aggravation that would cause even first
class angel to fold his wings and sit down
by the road side to mutter 'cuss'' words
loud and deep. The Democratic party in
Bergen made mistake when it failed to
embrace the situation. Free roads are q
Democratic institution and this is the stall
end" of the nineteenth century.

The evidence taken at the inquest during
the past week, over the renal ms of the vic
TINS of the Meadows Railroad accident,
points strongly towards criminal negligence
on the part of brakeman Rhodes. of the
fated emigrant train, but cannot absolye
others who shared responsibility with him
from the consequences of their neglect.
The Railroad Company seems to have
hedged the road to-wreck about with all
kinds of precautions /; and the terrible dis
aster was not the result of the neglect of
his duty by one man alone. Flagman
Rhodes declares that he went way to the
rear of the train, when she stopped, to drop
torpedo on the track, and that he did drop
one, as a signal to the engineer of the follow
ing train that he must stop. The engineer
and the crew of the later train agree, how
ever, that no torpedo exploded, and it is a
physical impossibility for one of the signals
to have gone off unheard by anybody.
Flagman Rhodes was too fearful of being
left behind by his train and SO, instead of
going back with the torpedo, as he should,
he seems to have just chung to his platform
and trusted to luck. He was certainly on
his train, waving his lantern excitedly,
when the express train came into sight.
The engineer of the express saw him there !;
and he himself admits that he leaped from
the cabocse platform when be saw the

The very men who are bowling that the
Convention which nominated McAvoy was
packed are loud in their praises of the
unanimity with which Director Govern was
nominated. Isn't this little inconsistent?
If the Convention was packed, it was
packed for all the candidates. There is no
second choice in the matter. To our way
of thinking, it was one of the most orderly
and respectable political gatherings ever
held in this county. 1t is folly to say that
such q Convention was packed or, if it
was, then the whole county must be pur-
chaseable. And any one who believes such
stuff as that must be the champion idiot of
the age.

The post man threw phenomenal bit
SUNDAY TArrLER last Thursday evening
1t was in the shape of postal card, and
contained, as far as we could decipher it,
these enigmatical words:
'The package will not be received at
325, as am not boarding machines girl. :"
The meaning of the missiye puzzles us /;
and vs. take our readers into our confidence
in the hope that they may assist, with
fact or suggestion, in concluding what it
may mean. Who is the 81" who disdains
to board machines girl Z? And how is it
known that the girl was a machines girl
or that she was any other kind of girl
Was she done up in the package that would
not be received? Aud then what business
has machine with girl? and what girl
would so far lose her self respect as to con-
sent to be a machines girl? If the par
ticular girl to whom our correspondent
refers has gone and done any such foolish
thing as that, what kind of machine may
Blo nave lieu To OO0S Su0 DolUuS W buo
political machine? and if she does which
one of them? the one that nominated
Wanser, or the other that nominated VOL
bert? She certainly cannot "run with the
machine" like the fire-laddies 1t is even
less probable that she has been counting a
washing machine The girls all fight shy
of that But then it may have been fut-
ing machine! Most girls of our acqualnt-
ance are 'dead stuck" on futing ma
chimes. It's possible that the unfortunate
lassie who was done up in package and
unwisely sent to 1925" may have fallen
in love with fiuting machine. We would
have made enquiry on these points if our
anonymous correspondent had given us a
gentle hint as to where No. 1926 may be-
Perhaps if this meets the writer's eye, he,
she or it will tell us where it is. We'd
like to have description of machines
girl" for the TArTLEE, and we'd send a
man at once to 1925 to take an inventory
of her for our readers. She must be a
natural curiosity of no mean order

vented the accident. But then the acci-
dent was plainly to bo. The apparent
neglect of these two men was only part of
it. The engineer of tue express train had
slowed his train to sufficiently low rate of
speed to throw the fated car load of emil
grants TO the other track. The tragedy was
not complete, however, and it is doubtful
if anybody would have been seri, usly
injured had it not been ordained that the
Lehigh Valley train should come along just
at that moment. and ride through the

The police of the second district on Fri
day night arrested lad named McAuliffe

gang, an association of young scoundrels

cord behind him. He also has future be-
fore him-which, by the way, is the direc-

The letter published by Mr.. McAvoy is
sufficient answer to all the charges that
have been made against him. As he says
he has discharged the duties of his office
in manner to secure the confidence of
all who have had official dealings with
him as well as the general public conf
dence. And the array of names appended
to his paper will at least compare favorably
with the names of the men who are op-
posing him with much noise and con,
fusion and to little purposel On Mr., Nc
Avoy's side are such men as Bennington
F. Randolph, A. Q, Garretson, Robert
Gilchrist, Orestes Cleveland, E, F. G.
Young, A. A. Hardenbergh, William
Clark, Charles H. Winfield, William
Brinkerhoff, Peter Bently, Job Fl. Lippin-
colt, j. B. Vredenbergh, John G. Besson,
Willard G. Fisk, John Garrick, Warne
Smythe and double half column of
names equally good in other walks of
life. We have purposely selected the
names of lawyers and gentlemen connect
ed with large estates because they are sup
posed to be most familiar with the duties
and requirements of the Surrogate's office.
And on the other hand we have-who?
Well, principally Martin Ward, Mike
Kilcauley and James M. Braun. There
are about dozen others, it is true, but
the men we have named are representa-
tives of the entire opposition. Can any
man Of homes. purposes and intentions
hesitate as to whom he will cast in his lot
WITH We should say not. And if he
wishes to go with the 'blatherskites,!'
why, let him. 1t is no loss. Mr. McAvoy's
success is as assured as his fitness for the
place is unquestionable.

Universal praise was bestowed upon last
Sundays TATTLER for the excellence of its
portrait gallery. The portraits of the gen.
tlemen of the Board of Finance were excep-
tionally good That some were better than
others was due to the fact that the TAT
Tiers artists had longer time to work on
some than on others. The TATTLER solicited
from the members of the Board their por-
traits. The gentlemen were all reluctant
to give them, but when we threatened to
send our special artist, who had pictured
Gen Ramsey and F. G.. Wolbert and Mar
tin Ward for us, they consented to hand
them up. Some of them did it more read
lily than others, and gave the artists oppor-
tunity to spend on their portraits the time
needed to finish them properly. Others of
them delayed in surrendering their por-
traits till the very last minute, and it was
impossible, because of lack of time, for the
artists to finish the pictures as we desired
| to have them finished. At the same
time, the portraits were all excellent.
Some of them might have been fin
ished little more finely, if We had the
time; but they could rot have been more
perfect portraits than they were. To-day
the enterprise of the TArTLER expends itself
in presenting the faces of the candidates
for the Assembly; and the same rule as to
completeness of the drawings from which
the printing plates are made, will be 90
served, as in the case of the Finance pic
lures in last Sundays paper. 1t was posi-.
sible to put some in hand early in the week.
These will be recognized among the more
complete drawings to-day; others came to
us at the last end of the week The reader
will know them because of the absence OF
careful detail in their preparation. The
pictures we present are magnificent por.
traits. however. of the candidates.
