the subject he car win much popular
favor by calling the Commissioners
publicly to account, and if they can
give no better account of their
stewardship than he can, by suppressed
ing them with better men.
The attention publicly drawn to the
subject by THE JERSEY CITY News
has wrung from the Board a state
mentof the work done. Our reporters
tried to get just this very information
some weeks ago, and were sent from
pillar to post, were baffled and blutfed,
and finally refused with some degree
of insolence. We are glad to see that
the Board has awakened up to n
fact that the public, as represented by
the press, has a right to information
touching the expenditure OF its money
and the return being secured therefor.
But indeed the information vouch-
safed in Clerk Bouton's list is almost
an insult to an intelligent public. 1t
is information that does not inform,
light which does not e%nlighten. Take

A Chaperon Bureau.

A group of actors stood in front of the
Madison Spare Theatre the other morn
ing telling stories. One of the number, a
man whose name is familiar to all play
goers, led the conversation.
"Do You know" said he, that not
many blocks from here there is a matronly
old woman who earns a nice livelihood
by chaperoning yong school girls ond
elderly women to theatres and other
places of amusement. Her business has
prospered, and lately she established a
bureau where single timid women can go
and procure-''for a conscientious
motherly looking oma to take them to
the Dlay and home again without fear Of
molestation. The bureau has become
very popular, and the elderly ONE
are ~supplanting the messenger boys as
escorts.
Il had occasion to call at the bureau re-
Gently on q matter of business, n was
very much surprised to find Mrs. -
there negotiating for a chaperone. The
woman | refer to is married and IS one or
the best known actresses III the country.
You would be surprised il | should name
her, and think you would all agree with
me she is about the last one that needed
any chaperoning. At least, | always re-
garded her as plenty able to take care OF
herself and of her husband, too, for that
matter. She did not notice me apparently,
and l remained an unobserved listener.
She said she was about to start on a trip
TO California, and that she was DESTROYS
Of procuring a nice, gray haired motherly
looking woman TO accompany her there
ana back again. She expected to be gone
several months. The woman that runs
the bureau thought she could accommo-
date her, and taking Mrs. -'s address
promised to send one of her c~haperones
around to her. I understand her charges
are not modest and she has con siderable

Hudson,s yote-and Essex,s.

In another column we print at
length an article from the Newark
Eoen&ng Nes0s, in which the editor is
pleased to be sarcastic over the causes
which influenced the vote of Hudson
county. He does not deny the
cogency of those which we allege,
viz. :-Harrisonian nepotism, Wanna
makerian Phariseeism, coupled with
Wanamakerian corruption, Tanner
istic r~ecklessness and Blainite juggling
with foreign relations. But he seems
to doubt their influence in that awful
Horseshoe" which is such a bugaboo
to the rural districts.
Then let us ask one gentle question.
What pray influenced the vote of Es-
sex How did it come to desert the
party of moral ideas? What infu-
enced the vote of the entire State,
Hudson left out? How does the
Evening Neaos account for the fact
that General Grubb was beaten by
three thousand plurality, throwing
the vote of Hudson out of considera-
ton altogether How does the EoeH-
ina NeaDs account for the vote of Iowa,
of Ohio, of Pennsylvania, of Massa-
chusetts, in every one of which thou
sands OF old Republican voters turned
their backs upon the party, and voted
for Democracy and honesty?
Is the Eoening Neses aware of the
infamous work that was done for the
Republican party in this county dur
ing the campaign? Does it know
about the campaign assessments on
the letter carriers? About the vio-
lation of the secrecy of the postofiice
for the purpose Of intimidating voters?
About the Treasury Department
steamer that was put On the drydock
in order that votes might be bought
with jobs of public work?
We are not all angels in Hudson.
and it is possible there was more or
less crooked work on both sides on
election day. But, at least, we believe
we compare favorably with Essex, in
which. according to the Eoeiaaag Neaos
itself, the most monstrous frauds were
perpetrated, two-thirds Of all the vot-
ers in one precinct, numbering some
four hundred, having been bought, it
is alleged, by one side or the other.

THE EDITORS SAY
on Hudson.

With considerable eloquence and
much art, the JERSEY CITY EVENING
NEWS endeavors to convince its es-
tcemed and venerable contemporary,
the Jersey City Journal, that it is way
off when that Republican sheet en-
deavors to show that the recent politi-
cal deluge was due entirely to the
temperance plank. The JERSEY CRY
NEWS from the beginning spoke OF
that plank as a sham and a delusion,
and now that it knows as much as the
rest OF us about the way the ballots
fell, it proceeds with great confidence
to indicate the causes that led to the
defeat of Grubb. "Harrisonism. ne
potism, WanamakerisIn, Phariseeism,
coupled with Wanamakerean O
ruption, Tanneristic recklessness and
Blaineite juggling with foreign rela-
tions-these are the weak spots that
caused the edifice of Republican hopes
to tumble about the ears of those who
raised it, Such is the concatena-
tion of untoward circumstances which
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS is certain
made soup of Republican expectations.
It's a pretty tough confederation, ure
enough. And what a tremendous
effect it had upon the discriminating
patriots who give fame to the Horse
shoe District! The vote In Hudson is
a fine example of virtuous protest
against the confederation. The stern
virtue of the Hudson heller is as ada
mant against dollars and temperance
when Wanamakerism, Tanperism,
Harrisonism, nepotism and Blaineism
confront him. AT least that is the
idea which the persuasive and lively
News is trying to work into its neigh
boris ~intellectuals. -Nea0Gsk EoeniDg

The Lightly Taxed Railroads.

The increase in the tax in this State
upon railroads from 81, SIG, 2S2. 93 to
ST., 329, COS. SO, reported by the State
Assessors, is due to the extensions and
improvements made by the compan-
les, and the new work now going on
will make the increase still greater
next year. The total valuation this
year is $t00, $50, 154. AT 2 per cent. tax
the railroads would pay CO, 991, 400. 10
or So, 661, 1914. So more than they pay at
present. The tax rates in many cities
where the greater portion of the rail
road property lies is higher than 2 per
cent, while the rates in the rural dis
districts, where the smaller buildings
are found, would only partially bal
ance this, so that a 2 per cent. on rail
roads in New Jersey would no more.
than place the companies on an equal
ity with other property. Instead,
they are over two and a half millions
below the mark. The lesson is obyi-
Gus to the least observant. -WeDd2k

Last Sunday a stampede was made
late in the night from the Sam mine by
DIR. Harding, Joe King and other promi-
nent ones to cement beds of gold ore
which lie between the Sam and Galena.
These cement deposits have been known
for some time but until the present
stampede have been thought to be but
of little merit. 1t is to be hoped that
they may prove to be rich in gold and
materially add to our bullion shipments.
