For United States Senator for
New Jersey,
LEON ABBETT.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER SC 1899.
This paper is democratic in principles
Ind is Independent IN its Vielos on all
pcaL questions.
The CITY Rail Bids.

Tomorrow. it is said, the City Hall
Commissioners propose to award the
bid for the construction of the build
ing to Mr.. Bouton, of New York.
This means, practically, an award to
Mr.. Charles Jordan, of this city. Mr..
Pouton himself is the authority for
is statement. He gave it out
" at the City Hall, when he was
as< kha his partners were. He
{. simply said his associate was Mr..
Charles Jordan. of Grove street, Jer-
sey City.
Now this may or may not be all
right. 1t simply means that the City
Hall Commissioners should be very
careful and should have the contract
drawn in eopper-fastened style and
backed with the amplest security for
the faithful and rigid performance of
work.
No particular reflection is meant on
Mr. Jordan, but it is just a trife
J amazing to see him turn up in the
capacity of a contractor for a great
building enterprise. He is not a
mason, bricklayer, carpenter, engi-
neer or architect. He is a dealer in
liquors. He has had a varied and III
teresting career down at Trenton, too.
He has accumulated a toIerable capt.
tai, we understand. But he has no
expert knowledge and no personal fit
ness for the extensive and vitality i'm
portant work he proposes now to
undertake. As for Mr.. Bouton, he
may be the practical man in the COM
bination. He may be the best builder
living; but then. again, he may not.
Simply, Jersey City knows nothing
put him-not the first thing.
Dealing. therefore, with a man who
S no fitness for the work, ard an
er that they know nothing about,
City Hall Commissioners, we re-
kought to go very SLOW and step
sure. or course, it will be all
to give the Contract to Bouton
ID Jordan if they san get such gilt
%edged securities as Mr.. James Roche
and Mr.. Joseph Warren-but MI.
Warren has withdrawn from the
bond.
Better put off that award an
other week, gentlemen, and investi-
gate a little.

The Board of Trade and the Water.
The vote of the Board of Trade,
last night, asking the Street and
\ Water Board to readvertise for water
proposals at the expense of endless
elaYs, did not really represent the
ptlment of that body. 1t was not
ssed by anything like a majority of
e meeting, fully half of those pres
mt negleeting to vote altogether,
while a bare majority of those who
did vote favored it.
Those who voted for the resolution
appeared to be a we'll meaning but
somewhat impractical group of gen
t~lelnen, who are well known
in this and other bodies rather
as critics ana opponents of
everybody ie1se's propositions than
as promoters of any feasible
plans of their own. Not one of them,
last night, appeared to have the least
idea of what he did want. They
were all certain that they did not like
the practical things before them, and
that was all about it.
From these structures, of course,
we except Mr.. L. B. Ward, who is
altogether the best authority on the
water systems of the State that we
have. Mr.. Ward has the elearest and
most practical ideas on the water
question, ideas the only fault of
which is that they seem hopeless of
realization because of their ideal
merits.
If Mr.. Ward or anybody else eyer
realizes the great scheme Of State ap-
portionment and control which is the

There are many references to the Use and
