That Delhi.

1.-THE best laid plans of mice and
men aft gang aglee." says the poet,
and the members of the Finance
Board must have agreed with him this
morning when they got Mayor Cleve-
lands message, knocking outn in a
single round their funding scheme for
the adjustment of the city debt.
1t would be hasty to pass Judgment
either on the Finance Boards scheme
or the Mayors action on such short
consideration, but it occurs to us that
there may be a modicum of right on
both sides.
That some permanent basis of set
Element should be established as soon
as possible is an obvious proposition;
but any plan which merely throws
dust in the public eyes, and serves as a
new starting point for the accumula-
ton Of fresh liabilities, should be con
demned and defeated at any cost of
temporary embarrassment.
There is no reason why the city's

An Old Time Entertainment Welcomed
at IN Tabernacle.
"Aunt Polly Basset" held her
''Singin> Skewln at the Tabernacle
last night and the house was crowded
with an enthusiastic audience, who
apparently enjoyed the ''publick
rehearsale" as well as the first time it
was produced, many years ago.
"Aunt Polly" was the same eccentric
''Aunt Polly" and received a good
share of the applause.
Some new features have been added
to the 'sSingin' Skewl,n in the way Of
new and pretty songs. The costumes
of the style of one hundred years ago
were very becoming. Belinda Bas-
set" impersonated the mischievous
child in the excellent manner which
has won her so much favorable criti-
cisln. 'sThe Skewlo and Joel
Basset, who possesses a fine
tenor voice, were warmly APP
plauded. Some excellent recitations
were given by ''ye young damsel, Phil
lis,n who was encored. Bijah Noggles
was present and was given a cordial
welcome. The songs and choruses
were well sung and the entire enter
tainment as successful as the former
ones and 'sAunt Polly's Skewl" made a
very creditable showing.

Onr Navy.

The New York World was surprised
this morning by the idea that Bis
marck was vigilantly watching this
country, and wanted to know what
war ships we could and would send to
Samoa in place of those which were
lost.
My, how green the World is. Did it
think Bismarck was too busy watch
ing the Dowager Empress Victoria to
have time for foreign affairs?
Meanwhile, we have some curiosity
ourselves as to how we are going tore
pair the recent damage to our fleet.
Surely Mr.. Tracy had better hurry up
and build more of these war ships.
They might come in handy about the
time Mr.. Phelps special commission
gets through talking over the interna-
tional difficulty at Berlin.
BY the way, where are the ''fast
cruisers we built a little while ago?
Are the Atlanta and the Boston on
the sick list? If not, what is the mat
ter with sending them to Apia? And
John Roach's Dolphin-if she got out
there she might collide with a German
vessel on her way to the bottom.

Water Wins.

Water wins in the Senate. That
body decided yesterday, by a vote of
IA to 2, not to permit the people OF
Newark to express at the polls their
opinion of the project to issue $6,000,-
900 of bonds to pay for a new water
supply.
Senator Edwards, who proposed
that a popular vote be taken, argued
that as the people would have to pay
the So, 900, 600, they had a right to a
voice in the matter. No proposition
could be more truly American than
this; but it was overwhelmingly re-
jected.
Senator Martin declared that the
people were in favor of the bond issue.
If this be so, what objection can the
Swindlecates have to a popular vote?
If it be not so, the iniquity of the con-
spiracy to saddle an enormous debt on
the city needs no clearer demonstra-
ton.
The safest way is undoubtedly to
consult the people.
The House has made a record on
this subject. When it passed the
Feeney bill it declared that the people
should be consulted; that a gigantic
water scheme should not be foisted on
a city unless the people voted in favor
of it.
The House should be true to its
record. Its sincerity will soo be put
to the test. If it were sincere, its APP
probation of the feeling of the public
in the matter will lead it to promptly
defeat the Newark Water Bond bill.
Col. Heppenheimer and Assembly
man Feeney have already distinguished
themselves in the peoples fight for
protection against the s~yndicates.
They will have an opportunity to win
fresh laurels soon,
