Cash AGAINST Death.

Inspector Leake's report of the con
dition of the Passaic river in connec-
ton with additional facts gathered
by a NEWS reporter concerning the
proposed contributions to the foul
pool from the Oranges is sufficient to
evoke phantom of cholera even if the
dread visitanr were not already
knocking at the door and clamoring
for admission.
The river is bad enough as it is
what it will be when the Oranges
turn another million gallons of sew
age daily into the river must be left
to the imagination. The prospect
fairly makes n shoulder.
And the people of Jersey
City may make up their minds
to go on shuddering and endang-
ering their lives and those of their
wives and children until they go else
where for their water supply. The
right of a city to utilize a river lying
at its doors cannot well be disputed
by another city ten miles away on
the plea that the latter wants to
drink the water. The sewage of the
Passaic river cities may befoul the
river, but we are not compelled to
drink the stuff.
1t is all very well to say that the
cities on or near the Passaic endanger
u health, but suppose they did not
use the river? What would become
of their sewage then? II it were left
to tester on the adjacent meadows, as
Jersey City itself allows the foul de-
posits from the Ravine road sewer to
do, the contagion would fill the air
and the health of the entire sur
rounding section would be endan-
gered. Jersey City would be no less
in danger than it is now, and all the
other cities would be endangered as
we'll, from Newark and Paterson to
New York and Brooklyn.
Orange W into the Passaic in
order to save money! Exactly. And
Jersey City refuses to go somewhere
else for its water supply for the same
reason. 1t seems to be the throw of a
die between them, but Jersey City
loads the cube against herself. Orange
is throwing for health and money to.
gether, but while Jersey City may
save a little cash, it may also reap a
harvest of death.
But can it save money! Will not
the income from the water, with a
business properly managed, repay the
outlay?
Public health, public safety and
public economy alike demand the re-
form that the public demands.

The New Water Departure.

The Street and Water Commission
ers made a timely move yesterday in
taking the preliminary step towards
the requirement of a new, whole some
water supply or-the city. There is
only room for one regret in the pro-
ceeding, and that is that, hasten as
they will, the Commissioners cannot
do anything to improve our situation
by next summer, when, in all proba-
bility, we will be exposed to the maxi
mum danger from cholera infection.
1t is to be hoped that the Commits
sioners will not be discouraged by this
reflection, however. 1t is to be hoped
they will push their enquiries with all
possible energy and speed. The Pas
sale water becomes worse day by day.
There is no hope of a change. On the
contrary the new ~sewering enterprises
of many towns and cities threaten
worse and worse pollution as the years
come on. 1t is possible the process
may go SO far that it may have to be
stopped to prevent the river from poi
soning the very air; but that jersey
City cannot wait for that length of
time for relief is sufficiently obvious.
In preparing a scheme for a new
supply to submit to the people, the
Street and Water Board must exer-
else great care. 1t must have the
boldness to present something inde-
pendent and complete in itself, and
it must be able to satisfy the people
that their interests are being fully
guarded. The Board must, naturally,
be as economical as possible; bat it
must remember that the truest ecopo-
my in enterprises of this sort is to pay
any fair, honest price that is necessary
to procure sufficiency and complete
ness. The people will pay millions
for a water supply of unquestionable
purity, sufficient in volume for the
needs of the next fifty years, rather
than hundreds of thousands for a
makeshift which in a decade will
leave the city face to face with the
same old problem. complicated with
new embarrassment.
Certainly, no scheme for any joint
supply with Newark will be enter
tanned. That city went her own way
and made her own bargain. If it is
satisfactory, she certainly will not
want to share the benefits. She has
time and again fought in the Legisla-

METHODIST CHURCH CENSUS.
Facts Concerning the Denomination in
New jersey.

Facts Concerning the emo nination in
New jersey.
Every county in New Jersey has one or
more congregations of the Methodist per-
suasion. But sixteen of the other States
are likewise represented in this Christian
faith. Beginning with one man, Philip
Embury. in the City of New YORK, one
hundred and twenty-six years ago, the
| Methodists now muster an army of near
ly two and a quarter millions. Thirty
years before Embury established the
church the brothers Wesley had labored
in America, their evangelical tour having
been principally confined To Georgia.
There are today in New Jersey 50, 1856
Methodists, or about one-seventeenth Of
tbs population: These people are sep
| arated into 579 distinct organizations,
owning 554 church edifices. with a seating
| capacity of 49,, 4S5. Besides. they occupy
thirty halls, ETC., seating 2,625 persons.
In all, the church property owned by
them is valued at 8 5000. 075, or about one
nineteenth of the total wealth Of the
church in this country. In New York
about three times the value of that of the
sect in New Jersey.
The county having the largest number
of communicates Is that of Essex, but
Burlington has the largest number Of
district organizations, or forty-seven.
burlington also mas the largest number
Of churches. each organization worship
ing IN its w house. Essex, however,
with thirty-seven churches, afforns the
greatest seating capacity, or 16. 710. In
value the church property of Essex is far
in the lead. as the valuation is we'll up to-
ward a million, or 1913, 400.
Bergen county has the least number Of
communicates, 637; the smallest number
OF churches. nine. and of course the
lesser wealth, or $50, 500.

CITY HALL PLANS MUCH ALTERED.

The City Hall Commissioners met this
morning, but took no definite action upon
the plans presented by Architect Broome.
The original plans presented by Mr..
Broome have been greatly altered. Offices
have been made in the basement for the
Overseer of the Poo and Inspector OF
Weights and Measures. Pillars have been
removed from the entrance SO that it is
an open an unbroken suace. The Offices
of the City Collector and City Clerk have
been enlarged by the RENEWAL of vaults.
The steps leading up 20 the building have
been so altered too, as so 10 give entrance
from all sides.
Mr.. Broome has done away with at
least three hundred piles by substituting
iron girders. The plans have been
greatly revised and will probably be
adopted at the first meeting at which all
three Commissioners get together. Mr..
Broom pointed out the changes in his
plans to the Commissioners this morning.

NOBODY is astonished at Major
Pangborn getting the names of the
Republican Presidential Electors
wrong at the head of his editorial
column, but the public are amazed
that so religious a man should get his
Biblical personages mixed up. In last
evenings edition. the great apostle of
cold water thus wrote:-
1t also quotes the Bible story of that final
meeting between Amasa and Jacob, at which
the latter made such effective use of his dagger
under Amasa's fifth rib.
1t was not Jacob, Major; it was
Joab. You should submit your Bib
lical illusions to your ex-Reverend
assistant, then you will always be
right. His Scriptural lore is only
surpassed by his learning in the Code
of the Marquis of Queensbury.
By the way, we are shocked to OBJ
serve signs of general paresis in the
literary style of the Journals news
columns. This astonishing statement
figured under the head of Railway
Notes." yesterday
The lead which this city started in the aboli-
ton Of grade crossings on railroads, and which
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company finally put
through here in response to the Journals con-
slant agitation of the subject, is about to be put
in toTcs in Buffalo.
Tell us, good Benson, how could a
lead be put in force? You should take
counsel on all matters of style from
Freddy, that elegant author of
Morality in Womanhood." Then
you will surely get a chaste and pure
style, don't you know.

against the railroads. All told, the ship
ments OF dead freight east bound from
Chicago by the ten roads engaged in the
traffic amounted to 60.0j4 tons, against
S0,CG2 tons during the preceding week
and against "a. 433 tons during the cor

amounted 20 l0G, 500 tons, or 4l.546 tons
more than was carried by all the rail-
