The Charter Contest.

Since a contest in the courts re-
speeding the validity Of the new
Charter seems inevitable, careful pro-
vision should be made for the conduct
of the public bushes meanwhile. The
interests of the city must not suffer
because its servants cannot agree.
This is a very important season of the
year. Public Improvements Of all
kinds are to be initiated; the streets
are to be kept in order; some substi-
tute for the refunding scheme which
Mayor Cleveland vetoed ought to be
devised.
To do all these things some one set
of officials should be placed in such
control of the public Offices as will en-
able them to act on urgent business
with security and despatch. Whether
the od interim administration should
be the old or the new will, of course,
be a matter of dispute. The officials of
the old regime will plead possession;
those of the new will fall back upon
the popular vote. But surely there is
some legal expedient in the nature OF
a temporary injunction which could
be speedily obtained, and which would
afford the city a modus 0t0endi until
the main questions are adjudicated.
The bill to place the whole matter
in the hands of the Supreme Court for
speedy adjudication, which ex-Gov-
ernor Albeit and Mr.. Allan l.. Nc
Dermott have drafted, seems to meet
the needs of the situation. 1t provides
for a reasonable provisional settlement
and a speedy conclusion of the whole
matter. The Legislature should pass
it at once.

Reel, Chancellor and Juggler were
selected as winners and they got there
handsomely. Four out of five is a
good showing, and with a non-starter
in the first race the place selection ran
second. Three choices did not face
the starter, but the placing of Golden
Reel and Bill Bond exactly as they
finished in the third event shows judg-
ment in horse matters.

The Grabs and Their Misty Back
ground.

The Grabs and Their Misty Back
ground.
1t is to be presumed that the latest
Gardner Railroad bill is intended to
accomplish the same purpose as it was
Intended to effect by the original
Grab. This is the natural inference to
be drawn from the fact that it comes
from the same source as its two prede-
cessors, and was introduced after their
collapse.
If this view is correct, it throws
some light on the design sought to be
accomplished. Some railroad or rail
roads unknown want to condemn
lands to abolish grade crossings. All
right; that is a worthy project, but
what crossings? Senator Gardner
says that the word ''highway," which
is alone used in the bill, would not
cover a street. Is it proposed to gobble
a street? In what city?
In the course of time, if Senator
Gardner will keep on introducing
these railroad bills, some light may
be thrown on these questions.
Mystery begets suspicion. 1t would
be much more expeditions for the rail
road companies to let some responsible
person-not a railroad senator-ex
plain exactly what is wanted. Then
the re quest could be considered and, if
proper, granted.
But such vague and far reaching
powers as loom up in the shadowy re-
cesses of these bills should not be
granted by the State.

The Trust.

1t is no wonder that the news
dealers complain of the treatment
they receive at the hands of the
New York publishers. Maximum
labor, minimum profit is the return
they receive from those papers whose
greatness they have largely con-
tributed to make.
They carry hundreds of pounds of
paper which the publishers have
crowded into their Sunday editions,
not to develop circulation, not to in
struct or amuse the public, but simply
to make room for the columns and
columns of advertisements out of
which the enormous profits Of the
papers spring.
And now these papers increase their
price to five cents-on account of the
vast cost of the paper they use, for
sooth. But what do they allow the
dealer for the labor of carrying that
paper? Heretofore he paid three cents
and sold his paper for four. Now he
has to pay four cents for the paper he
is to sell at five.
The New York dealers, of course,
are at the mercy of the trust to a great
extent. They must handle the papers.
They have a monopoly to contend
with, and there is no escape for
them. But in Jersey City
there is a loophole of retreat
both for the dealers and the public.
For some three months past a paper
has been published in this commun-
ity whose metropolitan tone and
whose enterprising presentation of
news have commended it to
the public favor. The SUNDAY
MORNING NEWS, the regular
Sunday edition of the JERSEY
City NEWS has made this region
wholly independent of the New
York papers. 1t has everything
in the way of news cable, tele-
graphic, and local-that they can
offer, and its special features are
equally attractive. 1t has besides
a large and attractive display of adj
vertising matter both from New York
and Jersey City business houses.
In fact, it combines all the ele-
ments of a first-class modern journal.
We have nothing to complain of in
respect to the way in which the public
have responded to the efforts made by
the management of this paper; but in
the present crisis we recognize that we
assume new relations towards the
great body OF newspaper readers. We
believe that thousands of persons will
resist on principle the new aggression
on their purses and patience and
will give fresh support to the paper
that makes their interest its first
concern.
Tomorrow's SUNDAY MORNING
NEWS will be the best paper we
have ever published.
