Mr.. Peterson Appointed Finance
Commissioners New Departure.
We are assured at a late hour this
evening that Mr.. Charles w Peterson
has been appointed member of the
Board Of Finance in place of the late
Mr.. Bray. We have every reason to
believe that the report is true al
though every effort has been made by
Mr.. Cleveland and his clerks to keep
it secret.
The event marks an important
change in the influences controlling
the city's affairs. The mean and cor
rupt influences which have dominated
during the past two years win no
longer be in the ascendant, there is
reason to hope, and a better era may
be dawning for the taxpayers.
Orestes Cleveland has been bitterly
opposed to the appointment Of Mr..
Peterson or any other man whose
presence in the Board might turn
the scale in favor of good administra-
ton He delayed until no more delay
was possible before he made the APP
pointment, hoping against hope
that the gang he trains with
would rally backing enough to sup
port him in making an appointment
after his own heart. That he has had
to give way is positive proof that the
reign of Robert Davis is past and
gone forever. The explanation of the
secrecy which he tried to throw about
the affair is that he wishes to escape
the unavailing solicitations of the
corruptionists who will urge him down
to the last moment to cancel the APP
pointment, even though they cannot
give him the power to do so.
We congratulate Mr.. Peterson on
his appointment. We believe he will
make good record

This Refu nding Juggle.

One of the things that the Board OF
Finance did not dwell upon in con-
nection with the refunding opera
tions OF the coming year is the fact
that $281, 900 worth Of four per cent.
bonds would mature and would have
to be taken up. 1t is remarkable that
this point should have been ignored.
The flourish of trumpets is being
made over the reduction of interest
from six and seven per cent, and
that not word should be said about
the proposed increase from four to
four and half per cent. on the large
sum above specified is, to say the
least, disingenuous.
Indeed, it is hard to see any justifi-
cation for such proceeding as the
Board OF Finance seems to contem-
plate. Through its organ across the
street, the New Charter Ring has
done huge amount of blowing about
the Improvement in the scity's credit
under its management. It is poor
evidence Of such Improvement that the
Board of Finance should deliberately
propose at this time to refund bonds
at an increased rate of interest. That
the Financiers themselves felt this is
plainly shown by the concealment
they resorted to- They said not a
word about these four per cent. bonds
and their organ across the street does
not say word about them. They
preferred not to take the public into
their confidence on such point.
They knew it would not look well.
But, as usual, the eyes of THE JER-
SKY CRY NEWS were open. The
bonds were accurately described in
yesterdays issue, and the cheap de-
ception is exposed to the ridicule of
the people whom it was intended to
raislead. It only remains now for the
Board of Finance to come forward
with an explanation. Has the credit

hands that it can only refund four
per cent. bonds at four and half2

WE note with pleasure the srect
Of a cooperative experiment among
the workers of this city. Except in
the Building and Loan Association
line, cooperation has not had in
america the success which it deserves.
1t is strange that Old Fogy John Bull
should have hundreds of establish
ments with many thousands of
pounds of capital successfully en-
gagged in cooperative dealing to the
great profit of all concerned, while
progressive Uncle Sam has never been
able to see anything in the scheme.
Jersey City is good community in
which to give the idea fair show.
There is custom enough to support
the enterprise and yet the place is
mob big enough for it to be hidden
away. as it might be in the hurry and
crush of New York trade.
We wish the scheme well and we
win watch Its progress with interest.

Ages of Man and Wife.

1t is always better for a man to be sew
eral years the senior of his wife. And I'll
tell you why. The average girl who mar
ries-God bless her-stays at home and
makes home blissful abiding place for
her husband and her children. The man
goes out into the world and has the re-
sponsibility Of caring for those who are at
home; and yet time does not seem to set
its seal on him as it does on woman. The
little cares of life ruffie her, and too often
make her look, as we say, sold before her
time" Now, even when this does not
happen, she does proportionately grow old
in appearance sooner than man, and for
that reason she wants to take the benefit OF
the doubt and let him have the added
years to start with. Then, too, you should
desire to keep your heart and mind young
to be his intellectual companion, and this
Is much easier when your husband is old
enough to be guide, philosopher and
friend" The love of woman to her
husband always has little Of the ma
ternal in it-that is right and tender
but she does not wish to be mistaken for
his mother.
Be wise, and marry a man older than
yourself; one who has seen life in its many
phases, and who can guide you over the
rocky place; one who has learned that 1t is
not always wise to obey impulses but that
any important daiy should be well thought
over Ladies' Home journal.
