The Sunday tatler and Jersey City express. (Jersey City, N.J.) 1883-1886, 1885-08-02

stand he is shown to ssback seat" with
graee or want of it--that plainly tells
him not to come again unless he can hire a
pew and pay his footing. And this is not a
popularity of one denomination, it is part
of the creed of ALL ssWithout money and
without price" is shibboleth in Nineteenth
Century Christianity. The Son of Man
may ssnot have had where to hide his
head, but his followers hide their heads
behind brown stone fronts and religion is
to-day as much of profession as any other
trade or calling. But it wild all come right
in the end. 'sThe poor ye have always
with ye, and they can be fixed any day.
In Heaven all men will stand upon a COM
mon footing and Vanderbilt's securities
and stocks will go to brighten the fires in
Tophet.
Now that the courts have decided that
tho ordinance forbidding railroad trains to
stand more than three minutes upon any
crossing is both reasonable and RICH. 1t is
to be hoped that the city authorities will
see that the law is enforced. But not all
the public Indignation should be leveled
at the Pennsylvania. The Erie is quite as
bad, if not worse, the difference being that
not SO many people are Inconvenience.
But if a man wants to get an idea OF the
comparative delay at the crossings of the
two roads let him make few trips to
Hoboken and he will speedily realize the
truth of what we say. Horse car travel is
seriously delayed by both roads but more
sylvania. The claim set up by the rail-
roads that the ordinance is unreasonable,
IS evidence OF how much regard these cor
porations have for the rights of the public
1t is altogether reasonable and right that
pedestrians and travellers in horse cars
should be delayed from ten to fifteen
minutes but it is very unreasonable that
the obstruction of public highways should
be limited to three minutes There are
cases, of course, where a long train is being
made up sor shunted, when the crossings
must be obstructed and when reasonable
people will not find fault with little delay
but we have seen horse cars and people
stopped at both Newark avenue ana Grove
street by a single locomotive, whose en-
gineer, pulled up by the fact that he had
the Pennsylvania Railroad at his back, con-
Guided he would show the public who he
was by stopping directly upon the crossing.
There is, of course, no possible excuse for
such cases as this and now that the city
has the courts with it it is to be hoped that
an example will be made of all such Of
fences.
The final arrangements for burying Gen.
Grant at Riverside Park instead of at Gen.
trail Park will meet the views of great
many people; still we believe the country
would be better satisfied if the intermsnt
had been arranged for Washington. River
side Park is really no better than Central
Park, except as it obyiates the erection of
a mansoleum in the great pleasure ground
of the metropolis. 1t will give no better
satisfaction to the country at large than
Central Park. He belonged to the United
States, not to the city of New York, and
his remains should lie on national ground
somewhere, either at Washington or West
Point, or IN some spot specially selected
for the purpose. If the immediate vicinity
of New York was a prime consideration
Bedlow's Island would have been the best
place that could have been selected. How
ever, the matter is settled now, and River
side Park will receive the honor. The sug-
gestion that the northern end of the Park,
where the tomb is to be, shall hereafter be
called Grant Park, will do something to-
ward remedying the objection and should
be carried ont
1t was rumored the other day in West
Hoboken that John Keynton had been APP
pointed County Superintendent Of Public
Schools in place of George Fl. Barton, de-
ceased. We think the report is without
foundation. Mr.. Keyntou is an excellent
school teacher, SO far as that goes, but the
mau who ran away with the salaries Of the
school teachers of West Hoboken, no
matter how pressing his financial needs, is
hardly the man to fill the position Of
County School Superintendent. Mr..
Keynton, since his return to Hudson
County, has been acting as principal Of the
public school at Arlington and there he
should be allowed to remain. We believe
