our Friends the Newsdealers.

We have been informed that some OF
our friends, the newsdealers, fear we
will not know how to enjoy prosperity
with moderation, and will begin to
use them badly as soon as we have
consolidated our circulation.
We desire to say that the business
terms and conditions which we have
already established are designed to be
permanent, and they will certainly not
be changed to the disadvantage of
those who help us to attain pros

SPEAKER CARLISLE has written a
letter to ex-Lieutenant Governor
Black, of Pennsylvania, approving
the plan for the formation of Demo
cratic societies throughout the
country.
Mr.. Carlisle is right. Organization
means success. 1t means the syste-
matte and effective spread of the prin-
ciples of Democracy-the principles of
liberal government and care for the
interests of the people.
The Republican clubs did effective
work in the last campaign, although
they were snubbed by the National
Committee.

It Doesn't Look Right in China.

Several fortunes were s%quandered in
the celebration of the Emperor of

observed by fasting in the provinces.
They have been fasting there for seve-
raj months-about a million of them.
They don't enjoy it, but they can't
help it. There is next to nothing for
them to eat, and they have no money

John Run and Beer.

Purchasing beer breweries in this
country is the latest s'fad" among
English investors. John Bull started
in to buy all the American railroad
shares he could get. He found Jay
Gould and a printing press could turn
them out rapidly enough to accommo-
date all demands. Then Mr.. Bull
thought American cattle and Western
grazing lands onght to be very
profitable, and he sent his golden
guineas there. The festive cowboys
turned Jay Goulds sold a herd on a
range one day, drove it to another
w night, and sold it there the next.
When the roundup came, John had
not half as many cattle as he thought
he had.
Now, who is, it playing horse with
Mr.. Bull in beer shares?

The werts Bill.

seems scarcely credible that the
r dealers of the cities of the State
proposing to accomplish their ends
at the sacrifice Of the main principle
for which they have been contending
ever since the local option law went
into effect. The present indications
from Trenton are that for the purpose
of keeping their own saloons open on
Sunday, the saloonkeepers of Newark,
Jersey City, Paterson, Elizabeth and
Trenton have combined to close up
the saloons in less favored communi-
ties for all time.
The practical effect of the Werts
III is to prevent the trial of liquor
for Sunday law violation except
b the presentment Of the Grand
y. And this, with the restoration
Ehe power of the selection of the
hndJuries to the Sheriff-ssupposing
it the repeal of the Jury Commits
n law follows-will result in the
rHopening of the saloons as of yore, in
this city and Hoboken and Newark, at
east.
The actual effect of the Baker
amendments, which enable the local.
ties that have no excise boards, to
practically enforce Prohibition by bal
looming the license fee to the sky, as
our Trenton correspondent happily
expressed it yesterday, will be to shut
the saloons entirely out of the smaller
towns of the State.
1t is natural enough, perhaps, for
the liquor dealers here to look out for
themselves, but it is scarcely proper
for them to do SO at the expense of their
fellows in other sections of the State.
The men of Cumberland have at
least as much right to take a drink on
Monday and Tuesday as the men Of
Hudson have to spend their Sundays
in making a round Of the saloons.

school No. 6.

The sanitary condition of School No.
6 is said to be not what it should be.
1t is also said to be all right. There
appears to be a difference of opinion
on this point. A Board of Health in
spector's report says that the schools
condition is bad; that the drainage is
defective, and the general condition
such as to endanger the health of the
pupils.
On the other hand Director Benson
could find no cause for complaint. He
admitted, however, that water some
times came into the basement, but
said that the committee had done it's
utmost to prevent this.
Director Benson's views appear to
have changed since Feb. 81, when the
Eoening Journal reported his remarks
upon the subject as follows
No one has been more exercised about
the condition of things in that building
than myself, and I have worked hard to
correct the evils. AS long as the present
niggardly policy of this town toward the
schools is pursued, things will grow worse
instead of better. The County Board of
Health may see a way to provide for the
needs of the school. / do not, and / don't
propose to burden my life much longer
with the problem of how to do $4,000 worth
of work for $3.50, OF whereabouts. Let the
subject be stirred up until a needed remedy
is provided.
This is not an attack upon MI. Ben
son; it is in the nature of a stirring up
such as he recommends. He has no
doubt done his duty in the matter, but
if everything has been done to prevent
water from coming into that basement,
and it continues to come in, the case is
serious. There is no more fruitful
cause of illness than a damp basement,
and the maladies which result are
sometimes quickly fatal, and some
times the beginning of long illness.
A MAN named WEST" figures prom
'inently in the Worlds somewhat
murky account of the Legislative
proceedings at Trenton. He appears
to be the head and front of a certain
local option measure. THE JERSEY
C1TY NEWS does not know this man
but will keep an eye out for him. We
strongly suspect that he will prove to
be no other than Senator Werts.

Our figures are not too large. The CEN

ton Of Virginia at that time was 206, 24S
whites and 12s.257 negroes. The census
reports show that our population increases
