The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1889-04-02
Tax the Railroads, of Course.

Colonel Heppenheimer proposed last
night, at Trenton, the true remedy for
the financial difficulties of the State.
It is one of those perfectly obvious
things which still escape the general
attention until the genuinely practical
man comes along, and, refusing to look
far afield for the solution of immediate
difficulties, takes up the method which
Providence has placed right under his
hand.
The railroads of this State are taxed
on a basis which, even in times of
financial ease, is a scandal to the com
munity. In this overtaxed city of
Jersey City they pay about one half
the rates that individual property
owners pay. Yet, who SO benefits by
the governmental system of the State,
which the taxes are to support, as the
railway companies, which are pam
pefed and protected until they have
grown fat and greedy out of all
reason.
All the plans for meeting the State
deficit, heretofore proposed, have
been open to serious objections.
There can be no doubt as to the I'M
popularity of the movement to deplete
the School Fund, no can there
well be two opinions as to its i'm
policy. 1t could only be justified
as an extreme expedient. Then
the plan of imposing a State tax is
hardly less distasteful to the citizens
at large. 1t is impolitic, too, because
it is an entering wedge, and may open
the way for serious extravaganza.
But the railways are at present, very
much undertaxed. They owe the
State a great debt. They will profit
more, in proportion, by the funds that
must be raised than any individual
1t is clear, therefore, that they are the
source from which the money should
come. The amount needed is small.
and the great corporations will never
miss it.
The whole situation seems as if it
had been created in order to give the
Democratic party an opportunity to
do a just and a proper thing, and
build up its reputation as the party of
good government.

THE Republican papers are very
funny about ex-President Cleveland's
appointment as a Commissioner of
Condemnation on Highbridge Park
lands. We would have them know
that Mr.. Cleveland, doing the work of
the public at a modest compensation,
is a much more honorable spectacle
than Rutherford B. Hayes leasing
stores for gin mill purposes.
THE reason why Judge Knapp, in
stead of handing the indictments
against the Freeholders down to the
Sessions for trial, will try them him
self is not a hard thing to understand.
Judge Lippincott, who presides over
the Court of Sessions, was at time
official counsel of the Board of Free
holders, and he would be naturally
delicate about presiding over the trial.
Assistant Prosecutor Noonan was also
clerk of the Board at one time, but
that will not prompt Mr.. Winfield to
summon another assistant to his aid
in preparing the case for the courts.

The scholastic year of the city's
public schools will open tomorrow.
The branch high schools are one of the
important experiments to be inaugu-
rated at the suggestion of Supt. Gil
bert. These branch schools are es-
tablished at the Webster, JEFF
ferson, Humboldt, Van Buren,
and Cleveland buildings, and
the idea is to relieve the great pressure
on the Central High school. These
branch schools will merely cover the
first years course. After that the pu-
pills will be required to attend the CEN
trail establishment. With this year a
class for domestic economy is to be es-
tabliShed in all the schools under the
supervision of Miss Georgiana Ford,
late of the training college for teachers
of New York. Principal Carmen will
also take charge of the high school, to
which he is newlylappointed.
Yesterday the usual annual meeting
of teachers was held at the school build
ing. Supt. Gilbert delivered an address
on ''The Ethics of School Manage
ment." He advised teachers to always
have reasonable rules and not to lose
the fact that they were building charac-
ter. To deal with scholars individually.
The harsh treatment of the Old-time
teachers received a scoring, and petty
discipline, he believed, never resulted
in good. Attention required in school
should never be more than that required
in business circles. Even whispering
should be allowed at times, and to secure
this permission should not be required.

TOO TOP-HEAVY FOR SAFETY.
A Big Manufacturing Firm Passes
Into a Receivers Hand

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Judge Jameson
appointed receiver to-day for the big
manufacturing concern of Gibson, Par
ish q Co. The firm has long been en-
gagged in the manufacturing of special
ties, upholstering goods, and cabinet
ware. July z it was organized into
corporation. three different firms enter
ing into the concern and dividing up
the assets and business. Gibson, Par
ish q Co. took the manufacture of oil
cans and similar goods; Surky, Payn 81
Co., of cabinet hardware, and Charles
2. Parish & Co., paints. The three
firms in the combination divided
assets and stock of S150,000 Officers
were elected and the outstanding ac-
counts of the old firm collected as rap
idly as possible. Since then $4,000 of
debts have been paid, leaving, as it
was supposed, liabilities of about
$4,000, The bill for receiver,
filed by Charles P. Parish & Co.,
states that on Tuesday last they
discovered that "a mistake had been
made by the bookkeeper in footing the
assets, and that $SS, 200 was really owing
at the present time. Then the firms
became alarmed and decided to apply
for a receiver and an accounting. The
receiver is Frank ID. Helmer, an at
tOrney.

VELVET VESTIBULES.
The Monon Runs a New Train at
Cut Rates,

CHICAGO. Aug. 31.-Commencing to-
morrow the "Monon" route makes cut
rate from Chicago to Louisville or New
Albany single fare 81, round trip Stand
beginning Monday the rate to Cincin-
natl will be 81. The first of a line
of new Pullman sleepers left Chicago
tonight by the "MOnOn" for Cincin-
natl and Indianapolis. The cars are
OF the perfected safety vestibuled pat
tern, and are illuminated by electricity
from storage batteries. Four new solid
trains of this character have been con-
tracted for by the ''Monon" with the
Pullman company, consisting of bag
gage, express, mail coaches, dining cars
and drawing-room sleepers. They will
be run on the cOmpany'S Chicago and
Cincinnati line commencing Oct. l, and
like the cars which started to-day will
be known as the Velvet VeStlbuled
trains of the Monon route.
MET BY THE PENNSYLVANIA.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 31.-The
Pennsylvania railroad to-day announced
a round-trip rate of 81 between Louis
vile and Chicago, good starting from
either point, or 81 one way. In addition
to this reduction new train is to be
put on each way to make the run in
eight hours, instead of eleven hours as
at present. The tate and schedule will
go into effect between Indianapolis and
Chicago. The rate cutting grew out of
the action of the Louisville, New AL
bany d Chicago road in abandoning the
Pennsylvania company'S bridge and
entering this city by a.. new bridge,
which the Pennsylvania officials allege
was fiat violation of their contract on
the part of the New Albany road.

Considerable surprise is expressed
by many who had imagined
that Mr.. Shelby was meant for
the place, though the universal
opinion seems to be that justice has
been done. Mr.. Mohler being character
lied as one of the ablest men in the bus
lness. He has held numerous positions
under the company. and has discharged
the duties of each in manner to win

taking charge of the Breckenridge di-

doubtless booked for successful career
in his new position, and takes the chair
followed by the good wishes of all who
have known his career in railway
life. Mr.. Shelby's appointment as as
sistant traffic manager is not regarded
as permanent thing. Those
who claim to know assert with
much confidence that in a very
short time Mr.. Alexander will be ele-
waited to the vice presidency and that
this will give Mr.. Shelby the position of
traffic manager. The theory is plausi-
bic enough, but is still nothing more
than theory even with its most ardent
advocates. Mr.. Shelby is one of the
most widely experienced men in the
handling Of traffic to be found any
where, and will prove an invaluable ad-
dition to the working force.

PEACE REIGNS IN HAWAII.
The Insurgents Are Awaiting
Trial for Treason.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 81. - The
steamer Zealandia arrived from Aus
tralia, New Zealand and Honolulu this
afternoon. 1t was considered probable
here that Admiral Kimberly would arrive
from Samoa, but the steamer broughtno
Samoan passengers. Advices from
Honolulu state that affairs have been
quiet there since the revolution on July
so. Robert Wilcox, the leader of insur-
gents and others who were arrested
were given preliminary examination
in the police court on the charge OF trea-
son, conspiracy, riot and unlawful as
sembly, ana committed for trial at the
next term of the supreme court. The
second battalion of the Hawaiian vol
unteers. comprising all native corps,
except the Kings Guard, has been dis
banded and their arms returned to the
government. 1t is understood this
action is based upon the report made
by W. S. Wood, adjutant, in which he
declares he was unable to bring for
ward any of the men of his command
at the time of the Instruction.

TWO BIG TRUSTS.
Railroad Managers Are Consider
ing the Clearing House Scheme


ing the Clearing House Scheme
Again.
CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-When Jay Gould
and the bankers triangle of New York
first proposed the formation of rail-
road clearing house, G. P. Huntington,
the Southern Pacific magnate, was a
party to the scheme. When it was
found the clearing house plan could not
be carried, and the formation of the So
called "gentlemen's association" was
suggested, Mr.. Huntington withdrew
from the combination on the ground
that he did not believe an association
of gentlemen" would fill the bill, and
that he had plan of his own, the time
for the contamination of which was not
ripe. The Interstate Commerce Rail-
way association (Gentlemen'S aSSocia-
tom having proved a complete failure,
steps are now being taken to carry out
Mr.. Huntlngton's plan, which contem-
plates a general consolidation of rail-
road interests west of the Missouri
river, the lines east of that river to work
out their own salvation and make what
ever arrangements they may. That
such is the intention is indicated by the
statements made by Mr.. Magoun, chair
man of the board of directors of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, a mem
Der of the banking firm of Kidder, Pea
body & Co., Of New York, who said it
would be useless to continue the present
association as now organized, and there
must be either one association covering
ALL LINES EAST AND WEST
of the river, or the Missouri river must
be made dividing line, with one asso-
citation east and another west of the
river. Mr.. MagOun further said the
New York bankers and their hackers
are in no way responsible for the for
nation of the gentlemen's associa-
ton, with four or five auxiliary
associations. The original propositions
of the bankers were legiSlated out of
existence by the Chicago managers, and
to please the Alton and other opponents
of that proposition the present unSatis-
factory organizations were formed. In
further confirmation of the rumOrs that
new deal is to be made, to which Mr..
Huntington will be party, comes the
report from New York that closer rela-
tons between jay GOuld's Southwestern
system of roads, the Atchison and Hunt
ington'S Southern Pacific system has
been established. 1t is also stated that
both Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Huntington are
acting in concert to secure control of all
Southwestern lines. 1t was also learned
yesterday that the managers of the roads
in the "gentlemen'S association" have
been informed by the New York bank
ers that the present organizations could
not be continued, and that they must
take measures to bring about a COM
plete reorganization. This contemplates
but one association, which is to be in
the nature of the original clearing
house plan. Accordingly committee

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The control of

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Superintend
ent Porter to-day announced the follow
ing appointments of special agents for
the census bureau: James III. Blodgett,
of Rockford, H.. special agent to col
lect statistics of education throug bout
the United States; Dr.. Charles A. Ash
burner and John Ii. Jones, special
agents TO collect coal statistics; Joseph
u. Weeks, of PittSburg, special ag-
emf to collect statistics of petroleum,
coke. natural gas and glass, and James
NJ. Swank, of Philadelphia, special
agent to collect statistics of iron aud
steel. OF the task assigned to DR.. Ash
burner and Mr.. Jones, and of their fit
ness for the work, Mi. Porter says:
''1he subject is an enormous one. The
distribution of the cOal-producing mines
over the United States, and the great
number Of very small with an apprecia-
Bile aggregate, make the task very diff
cult. Mr.. AShburner, while geolOgiSt
in charge of the geological sur
yey of Pennsylvania, gave personal
attention to the location, mining methods
and production of the anthracite coal
mines of Pennsylvania. This work has
lately earned him the honorary degree
of doctor of philosophy in the UniVer-
Sity of Pennsylvania. In 1885 DR.. Ash
burner was called upon by the United
States geological survey to make re-
port on the coal production of the en-
tire United States This task was be-
gun and finished by him in six weeks.
Since that time the work has been under
his charge. He has prepared the re-
ports on coal for the volumes, Mineral
Resources Of the United States" for
1885, 1886, 1881, and is now completing
that for 1875 Mr. Jones began his
work on coal statistics in 1876 as
statistician for the railroad COM
panies engaged in the transportation of
anthracite coal. Finding this subject in
a chaotic condition, Mr.. Jones has pub
Iished every year since that time re-
ports on anthracite shipments. which
have made him the official authority
In regard thereto. Mr.. BlOdgett, Spe-
ciaI agent to collect statistics of educa-
ton, is a native of New York, but spent
his boyhOod mainly in Illinois. After
the war he was in charge of the West
Rockford, ILL.,, high school for fifteen
years. He was a special agent in the
tenth census till near the close of the
Office. For the past five years he has
been the editor of the publications of
the United States geological survey.
Nil Weeks made reports on wages and
prices and coke and glass, respectively,
for the census of 1850. Mr.. SWanh, the
newly-appOinted special agent to collect
iron and steel statistics, held the same
position in the Tenth census. and his
monograph upon iron and steel, as well
as his compilation of the statistics OF
