where Were Our Teachers


The representatives fro m New JERSEY
who attended the convention of the Ma
tional Teachers Association in Toronto,
Canada. a few days ago were deeply morti-
fed at the meagre a'tendan ce-only about
half a dozen ia all-of the educators OF
this State The convention was one OF
the largest ever held. numbering over six
thousand teachers from all parts OF
Canada, the United States and Mexico, in
fact from every continent. The pretty
city of Toronto was fairly taken by storm,
aud the pe~dagogues were practically given
the freedom of the town, holding sway in
every portion of it. From some of the
Western and even Southern States educa-
tors went by hundreds. Tine attendance
from New Jersey. considering the rank
which we claim for ourselves in enlight-
eminent and educational progress. was
really humiliating, and it was SO felt by
the handful of our citizens who were re
duced to insignihcance in that vast and
enthusiastic army of workers in the edu
cational field.

being looked after at every rainfall,
though we ran not speak positively as
to this. Lack Of information leaves
as in doubt whether the ~company's
agents will chase around after SUBJ
scribars and thrust an umbrella into
the hands of each when occa-
sion arises, or the subscriber
must make personal application
at a branch Office for the protection
promised him. In that cas- there will
have to be many branches or much
personal Inconvenience. If the sub
scriber oyertaken by a storm at Grove
street has to rush down to the ferry
in n hurry for his umbrella, he may
get Just as wet as u non-subscriber.
That won't effect the company, per-
haps, but it will certainly be provo
cativc of profanity on the part Of the
moistened individual, who will natur-
ally wish that he was metapsorically
in soak land antagonistically ory) in
stead of the umbrella. Whether the
company is to be responsible for sins
of this character is in doubt, but un-
less It is it should be prepared to
furnish the subscribed--for umbrella
without notice, no matter where the
drenched subscriber may be.
1t might be a good idea to have
slot umbrella machines at every cor
ner. but the trouble in that case
would be that no machine could be
evolved with sufficient intelligence 10
distinguish between subscribers and
frauds and much petty larceny would
result. PROFESSIONALLY the man
who would be dishonest enough to
defraud a slot machine of an umbrella
he had not properly subscribed for
would be dishonest enough to keep it.
Another objection to the scheme is
that the company offers no protection
against theft or forgetfulness and the
subscriber will be just as likely to be
despoiled of his umbrella by the
casual and non-subscribing wayfarer
as if he had never gone into the n
poration.
Perhaps a title guarantee should be
formed as an adjunct to the main
business; still, that would be difficult,
for the title would naturally pass
with the umbrella. An insurance
company would be better, but when
a man is compelled first to subscribe
for an umbrella. and secondly to hire
an insurance agent to reimburse the
company, it might perhaps be as well
to buy an umbrella outright and take
the chances.

From the Trenton Sunday Adrertiser.
1t does not seem TO US that the expected
clemency for which his friends have been
so strongly suing, is due in the case Of
John Stumpf. the convicted Republican
ballot box suffer of Jersey City. His
previous good conduct Is argued. and ii is
further said in extenuation that ne did
not instigate the Democratic frauds. but
through weakness permitted them 10 90
on under ms observation and without pro-
test. That is just the kind of rassality
that has played havoc with every attempt
made 20 elevate the politics OF Jersey City
for as THE JERSEY CITY NEWS says, sil
the Democratic party has don't wrong in
Hudson. IL is the r~otteuness of the Re
publican party that has made such wrcnR
possible. aud Mr.. Stumpf Is just the type
of man, who by winking at the crimes he
is sworn TO prevent. il responsible for all
that is evil In our politics.
Let Mr.. Stumpf face the music the
same as HIS companions in crime.

A Novel business

The various schemes at times de-
vised by enterprising individuals for
the turning OF honest pennies have
occasionally the merit OF novelty, il
nothing else commends them TO pub
lie approval and success. One of the
queerest of all queer trades, however,
is a corporation that has been formed
for the purpose Of supplying every in
habitant of the United States with
an umbrella. 1t will have its prfnci-
pal Office in this city with branches
in New York and other big cities, a
recognition OF New Jersey which
should lead 20 q boom in umbrellas
here il nowhere else-though we re-
greet TO say that a jealous metropoli-
tan affects to find in the fact a sug-
gestion that the native Jerseyman
doesn't know enough to 90 in when il
rains. However, the people OF this
State, and particularly of this city,
IAN afford 10 overlook slurs OF this
nature in the era of wet weather
prosperity which looms before us.
The object of the company is to see
that every man. woman and child in
the land may be provided with an
umbrella, whenever he, she or it may
have need of such protection The
idea is that each person shall pay a
Hxed sum for the inestimable boon oil

The Way of IT.

The Elizabeth Journal seems TO
labor under the impression that Me-
Kinleyism is saved from failure by
the reciprocal treaty recently made
with San Domingo. Unfortunately
for the advocates of KcKinleyism,
reciprocity is no part of the Mckinley
theory or system. When DIR. Blaine
found McKinleyisin sick unto death
he injected the fresh blood of reci-
procity into its veins and saved it
from a pauper's grave. Reciprocity
is, therefore, not McKinleyism but
Blaineism pure and simple. Major
Mckinley accepted it. not from
choice, but because he had no alter
native.
And reciprocity is only another
name for Free Trade. High tariff
and 10 tar in in one act are a queer
sort of a juggle. 1t beats the circus
riders feat Of straddling four horses.

He also bit Muller's Thumb. McGovern

Elevated

The ease and celebrity with which the
Pennsylvania railroads tracks in this
city have been elevated is sufficient
evidence, il any were needed, that all
companies that choose may solve the
problem OF city transit for themselves
The difficulties in the case of the
Pennsylvania were greater than beset
any other corporation, yet they were
surnounted in a way that gave little
inconvenience to the people OF Jersey
City, and none at all to the immense
passenger and freight traffic of the
road.
The second elevated track is no
almost completed and soon all the
streets passing under the system
will he in thorough order al d open to
unimpeded traffic. The gain in the
way OF delays that were unavoidable
to local street traffic will be of great
benefit to the people OF Jersey City,
while the absolute safety to human
life is an inestimable boon. That
alone is worth all the work has cost
and it is largely to the credit of the
Pennsylvania Company that it not
only made this great improvement OF
its own volition bat actually had to
ightfo the privilege OF ensuring pub
lie safety at its crossings. The engi-
neering difficulties of the situa ton
were not the only ones the PeEnsyl-
vania Company had to surmonnt, un-
fortunately, or the elevated structure
would have been in operation years
ago.
What the Pennsylvania has done
the other corporations may hope to
accomplish with less difficulty. VIII

of surface tracks for steam railroads
in large and still growing cities is
about over.
