The Worlds Fair-Senator McDon-
aids Resolution.
Senator E. #. Mcdonald will intro
duce on Monday evening in the State
Senate a joint resolution, memorable
ing Congress to locate the Worlds
Fair of 1892 in New York. 1t
is highly proper that New Jer-
SET, as a State, should take up
this position, and it is peculiarly
appropriate that Mr.. Mcdonald, the
Senator from Hudson, should be the
initiator of action in the premises.
The location of the Worlds Fair in
New York will be a great benefit in
many ways to our people. In the
first place its accessibility will be a
pleasant thing to u citizens who
will be able to visit it often at trifling
expense. Then the great increase
of railway travel, with it's resulting
expenditure of money in the State
will tend to increase our wealth and
Tighten taxation. Above all the inn
mense crowd of visitors who will over
flow into our cities and towns will
bring money to our people and pleas
ant variety to u life.
If the Fair comes to New York our
seaside resorts will see such a summe
in 1899 as they never before dreamed
OF. From Cape May to the High
lands they will be thronged with So
journers from all parts of both hem
ispheres, and money will flow like
water.
But, above all these considerations
there is the high sense of the fitness
Of things involved in the location of
the fair. New Jersey should
stand shoulder to shoulder with
New York upon historic and
geographic grounds. Their in
terests are allied, their histories are
intertwined, they are as one people
and on occasions like this should make
common cause.
Senator Mcdonald is to be highly
commended both for his modesty in
deferring to the older members OF the
Senate in respect to this matter,
and also for the enthusiasm
which he displays in taking it
up at the right time. Presented
as it will be with the advantages Of
his eloQuence it will gain an added
force. Doubtless the resolution would
prevail on its merits, but with such
advocacy it will have double force.

of the law of New York, because the

A Dream or 4 Scheme, Which?
We print IN another column today
a report of a very remarkable CONVEX
sation which one OF our reporter s had
with a well known citizen of Jersey
City this morning. We confess we do
not know exactly how to regard it. VIZ
know the name OF the interviewer and
we are staggered at the notion that
he should have wasted SO many
words. except in sober earnest. just
how much reality there is in the
movement which he describes W are
