The EUendng Journal did us the
honor yesterday of devoting a portion
of its more or less valuable space to
the affairs of THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS, and we learned from it's col
umns some interesting and important
facts regarding our own business of
which we had previously been I'M
aware. This is what the Journal had
to say
The local democratic leaders have been dis
sa tistied for a long time with the way the DEM
DER ATTIC daily IN this city has been conducted
Even Corpoi stiop Counsel Edwards. who prac-
ticaify owns the sheet, has become disheartened
on acco unit If his failure 10 realize even the
smallest financial gain from it. There are ne
gotiations on foot today looking to the transfer
of the cont rolling interest into new hands. A
syndicate of democratic politicians, including
Senator Nc Pherson, County Clerk McIaus him,
Jailer DAVIS. Charles S. Furst, Louis Fischer,
Dennis Multi ms, and a score of Others, is to be
formed for the purpose of taking hold Of the
moribund paper and rejuvenating it. The syndi-
cate wall buy the whole concern. providing Mr..
Edwards does not ask too much for it. The
whole matter Is now hinging on the question of
price. If the syndicate and Mr.. Edwards come
to terms the syndicate viii r eOrganiZe the staff
entirely and put a new set of managers at the
head. The boys who lave heretofore been ofic-
iaiing as reporters will be di scharged. If Ed
wards fails to get the elephant off his hands,
then the syndicate will Immediately start q new
democratic daily in this city.
From a handful published in a
foreign language and the common
gossip of the town, we learn that Mr.,
Joseph N. Noonan is responsible for
the germinal rumor of the above
pleasant fiction. He furnished the
kernel; the jealousy. with which the
Daily Backnumber" has viewed the
steadily growing success of THE
News supplied the muscle and sinew
to build up Mr.. Noonan's embryonic
idea into an able bodied lie.
Mr.. Noonan, it seems, has read the
handwriting OF the wall of the Prose
cutor's Office in a very gloomy way, as
respects his own future prospects. He
has been d~evoting all his powers as a
low comedian for the last month or so
to inducing any or all of the wealthy
citizens in the town to put up the
lOlCY W CCct 11lIn III a ia IN
editorial chair for at least five OF six
months after the close Of his official
career. Mr.. Noonan offers to guaran-
tee his hackers a rich crop of expert
ence in return for their cash, and his
pleas have been hearkened to with
the same marks of approval which
always respond to his post prandial
efforts.
For ourselves, we sincerely hope
Mr.. Noonan will succeed in his I'M
dertaking. A paper edited by him
would certainly tend to tighten the
sorrows of life, while it lasted. Mr..
Noonan would doubtless handle it's
columns and its finances in the same
vein of pleasant whimsicality which
he displays in losing all the cases that
Mr.. Winfield entrusts to him for that
purpose. The product would be a
thing of beauty and a joy forever
that is to the outside public, of course.
Our friends of the Eoenang Journal
will be pleased to hear that Mr..
Noonan's is not the only journalistic
project in the field. Since it became
evident that that paper was not go
ing to make a loyal fight for John
Kean. Jr., there has been a distinct
revival of the old project for the es-
Establishment of a real Republican pa
per in Jersey City.
Let it comel Let Mr.. Noonan go
ahead! THE more the merrierT" say
we. If there is room for all, all may
succeed. II there is not, it will be a
matter of the survival of the fittest."
