The Purloiners of News at Work.
Just as we prophesied yesterday the
slow coaches began trying to catch up
this morning. The alleged Jersey
edition of the New York World steals
the list of Hudson county election
officers from THE SUNDAY MORNING
NEWS, and prints it without credit.
We expect our only local competitor
will follow suit this afternoon.
Those who want the news of Hud-
son while it is new must read THE
JERSEY Cry NEWS and THE SUNDAY
MORNING NEWS. They are abso-
lutely the only papers in this county
which keep up with the times, so far
as Hudson county matters are con-
cerned. The World has been pub
fishing some excellent articles
against the Hudson Ring. They
are the work of an able and esteemed
local journalist. 1t is always left in the
lurch, however, on actual live Jews.
1t is fair to say that the two gentle
men who represent the paper locally
are capable and p~ainstaking journal
lists, and the faults of the sheet
are in no way due to them
but the alleged management of
the alleged edition defeats all effort
at brightness or newsiness. The man
at the head of affairs is a graduate OF
the Eoening Journal Office.
We reprint the list today, both to
emphasize our beat of yesterday and
to give cur readers who spent Sunday
out of town the benefit of the news.
The Federal Election Bill and the
Fall Congressional Campaign.
frightened at last by the ire
mendous popular indignation
aroused by the Ubiquitous Federal
Election bill. the Republican bosses
have consented to postpone the meas
ure until the December session. 1t
will then be taken up and passed IL
the Congressional elections of the
Fall will afford the party the slightest
countenance for such an act. II
therefore remains for the people to
say whether or not they will have
this outrageous law placed upon the
Statute Books of the United States.
1t would be almost grotesque to
speak of the possibility of the major
ity of the new congressman being Re-
publican. OF that, there is certainly
no fear. But if the Democratic adj
vantage should prove to be slight
mere working majority or so-the
Republicans will argue that it is a
practical endorsement of their bill. II
elections were fairly conducted, they
will say, we would have had o major
ity in the next Congress, SO, before we
go out of Office, we will SO arrange
matters that elections will be held oul
way for years to come. This is, OF
course, possible, for with a Republi
can Senate, the Force bill, once
passed, cannot be repealed.
It is therefore the duty Of all citi
zens who wish to see the free institu
tions of the country perpetuated, fol
all who desire to prevent the passag,
of the government into the control o
a marrow Ring of plutocrats, to Civ
their most energetic support to al
Democratic candidates for Congress
this year. 1t is especially the duty o
the Democrat to put in nomination
only candidates who will win the gen
eral support. Above all, it is proper
that in the Northern States the pro
test should be emphatic against thi
outrage on free suffrage.
