Danger On the shore.

Cleanliness is next to godliness,
says the proverb, but it seems that
toe much washing doesn't do a sea
coast line any good. Property owners
along the Jersey shore are in great
tribulation, first, because they find,
when counting the grains of sand that
belong to them, after each high tide,
that some of those precious grains are
missing-one might fancy they were
the sands OF Pactolus from the fuss
that is made over them; and secondly,
because the late Mr.. Humboldt, in
one of his pessimistic moods, deliber-
ately announced that 1.-THE whole OF
North America would be reduced to
the level of the sea in the brief period
of 4. 800, 900 years"
This is certainly serious subject
for the consideration Of riparian own
ers who see their holdings surely, no
matter how slowly, slipping from
them. And TO make it worse if Mr..
Humboldt is correct in his count OF
the sands, the progress of the water,
and the usual wear and tear inciden-
tai to attrition, every man who owns
property anywhere on the continent
must become a shore frontiersman in
turn. Even the dwellers upon the top OF
the Rockies and the Andes must go
under at last. No matter how high
they may climb they cannot escape
their ultimate fate.
But we fancy there need be no i'm
mediate fear born OF Mr.. Humboldts
careless, If not untimely, remark. In
the first place there is no absolute Ger.
tainty that the earth is going to last
4, 500, 900 years longer. II it doesn't, nc
one need care what becomes of the
shore front. If it does there is a very
big chance that all the water will
have evaporated and there win be nc
sea to swallow up the dry land, New
Jersey included
And again:-Wh there may be {
notable recession of the Atlantic coas
there is reported aggregation o
land along the Pacific coast. In that
case, by concert of action, and q
proper setting back of boundary lines
every man will still hold his own--ai
least, until the Pacific is used up ane
we get into row with the Japanes,
when it becomes necessary to en-
croach upon their territory.
But perhaps Asia may move aroune
with equal speed and in due time oc
cupy the place Of Europe, while thai
continent will be the western world.
In point of fact, there is no limit tx
the possibilities, not to say the specu
lations of the situation.
There is but one sure thing in til,
whole business, and that is if tn,
American continent does go under WI

The City Hall Site and Cost


Tho City Hall Site and Cost.
We see with satisfaction that many
of the property owners interested in
the City Hall site are coming to terms
with the Commissioners without com
pelling resort to the tedious and ex
pensive process of condemnation.
This is as it should be. It was not
unnatural that the owners should,
at the outset, indulge in more or
less inflated ideas as to what
they were to get from the city
for their holdings. 1t is a sort of in
stinct with most people to expect
bonanza when the public is to pay.
But brief intercourse with the City
Hall Commissioners had a depressing
effect on swelIed heads. It was too
plain that they meant business OF the
most commonplace, ordinary kind.
They were willing to give fair, even
liberal prices, as in all Justice they
ought, but there were no bonanzas to
be got from them, and that ended it.
And SO some OF the property owners
came down, and doubtless many
others will do so at an early day.
Probably, IN the long run, only four
or five condemnation suits will have
to be brought, if SO many, and before
the New Year comes in, ehe city will
probably have practical control Of the
lad This will be = good record for
the Commissioners and they may rest
content with it. Indeed prudence
will require that they limit them
selves to just this degree of accom-
plishinent and postpone taking up any
new phase of the work not only until
this Is disposed OF, but also until they
are sure of the ground they are t.
proceed upon.
Without circumlocution, we believe
the Commission should wait for fur
ther legislation before taking any
positive step toward building. Until
such legislation is secured, they have
no means of guaglng accurately the
means that they can dispose of, and
obviously cannot tune their plans to
any financial key. BY the time the
land is paid for, they will not have
more than $75, 600 available asa build
ing fund. Even the most economical

is to have him indicted for his out

Charges of perjury and malfeasance

proof of his gross undervaIuation is
easily secured. The fact that it was
