The Sunday morning news. [volume] (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1886-1891, 1891-03-08

The Newark Sunday Call thinks
the appropriation of money for par
ticipancy by New Jersey in the Chi
cago Fair is purely a matter of bust
ness. IF New Jersey can get bush
ness reputation by establishing a
Worlds Fair Commission" it says,
and making special State effort
for an honorable representation at
the great exposition, New Jersey
should do so as matter of business.
There is ample precedent, and every
citizen who recalls the Centennial
will see the advantage and applaud
the Legislature for such action"
This is all very we'll, and if the case
were at all like that of 1876 there
would be no two ways of thinking
about the duty of the Legislature.
Patriotic pride as well as business in
stinct would point out the clear path.
But the history of the Chicago
show is simply that OF a huge bunco
operation. The Windy City buncoed
New York out of the show itself. 1t
tried to bunco Congress out of the
money to pay for the scheme. 1t is
now trying to bnnco the States out of
various sums to supply the deficiency
in its own liberality.
Let the Legislature of New Jersey
by all means appropriate a goodly
sum to be spent by our own commits
sion on our own exhibit or on a special
building as State headquarters, such
as many of the States had at Phila-
delphia. But by no means let the
State sink its money in the stock of
the bunco Fair organization, to be
spent on sinecurists on the one hand
and imported pauper labor on the
other.
Chicago was wild for the Fair; now
she has got it, let her do the best she
can with it, herself.
THE thieves who stripped the tele-
graph poles of Union county on Fri
day escaped uninjured An honest
workman can't do job like that in
New York without getting frizzled by
live wire. Moral:-Let the blamed
wires alone; they have no soul.
CONGRESSMAN McADoo will be
missed in Washington. His absence
will be a serious loss to his party in
the next House. His retirement was
painful necessity of the local politi-
cal situation. We hope to see him go
back as the eighth New Jersey Con
gresham in the Fifty-third Congress.
Another man who will be missed
from Washington will be Mr.. Lehl-
bach OF Newark Though Republic
can, he proved himself to be an hon
est, wise and patriotic man, and he
endeavored to truly represent the
opinions and wishes of his constitu-
ents. He was one of the few Repub-
licans who came out of that carnival
Of political recklessness called the
Fifty-6rst Congress more honored by
true citizens than when he went in.

MANY are the temptations which
beset the funny man. That Chauncey
Depew is not proof against them was
shown by his jests at the Federal
Club dinner in New York, when he
referred to his arrest. The charge
against him may appear to him ride
ulous, but good taste should stifie

terriblet daughter OF six human beings

HERE is wholesale falsehood from

notes.
The indignation that is being expressed by
the citizens Of Jersey City al the action Of
Mayor SleVeiandss Board of Aldermen in so
changing the district lines that Eve Of the six
Aldermanic districts ere certainly Democratic,
may result as boomerang at the spring
charter election, Democrats everywhere de-
nounce the scheme Us being absolutely an IN
necessary act OF tbs Aldermen. and they say
their votes this year will depend entirely on
the men nominated
II this We're an expression Of editor
ial opinion it would be only stupid.
As it is given as statement of fact it
ID wantonly mendacious.
Even the Ece9ag7lg Journal has not
ventured to say that the change in the
Aldermanic lines Of Jersey City was
regarded with anything but favor by
Democrats and independent voters.
The Justice OF the change is obvious
and only the defeated Republicans
are kicking
