to build a new aqueduct from Belle
vile to High Service at a very early
day.
One other point we observe with in
terest. This is the specification call
ing for cast iron, instead of steel pipe.
This will perhaps cause some on
troversy. The Newark line is the
first experimental least, in this
country-in steel piping on any such
vast scale. 1t cannot be said to be
successful. 1t has been f~abulously
costly-so much SO that it is said the
East Jersey Water Company has alb
solutely lost money on the whole con-
tract on account of its expensiveness,
and yet it is not satisfactory. 1t
is said to be leaky and insecure and
engineers are divided as to how long
it will last. From the point of view
of conservatism, especially in view of
this example, Jul city officials are
perhaps justified in barring it from
their specifications. Still we have a
notion that steel is the material Of the
future for this as for almost all other
works where strain is to be resisted,
and there is the chance that the
second venture would be the success
full one in the matter Of long distance
piping.
However, 1t can hardly be said that
this is a blemish in the specifications.
II an error has been made, it has been
on the side of carefulness. 1t is not
yet too late to change if change proves
to be desirable.

The Water Specifications.


As showing what a divergence there
might be in the terms of the specifica-
tions for our new water supply, we
have been shown by a gentleman con-
Board a draft of specifications pre-
pared and suggested by certain par
ties, who are likely to make a pro-
posal to furnish the supply as oon as
it is advertised for. This document
is very interesting, and we take the
liberty of giving it here. We advise
our readers to compare it with the
cast iron conditions framed by Mr..
Ruggles. We think they will agree
with us that, while Mr.. RuggIes'
specifications are models of all that
they should be, these are models OF
all that they ought not to be. Here
they are

years at his Own expense the present pumping
plant and the reservoirs at BeiieviiIe in as good con,
poser begins the delivery Of water.
ANY contract must give the city an option to take
supply on fair and proper terms.
The first and most notable feature
of this sketch is that it says nothing
whatever about the independence of
the new supply. 1t would leave the
door open for some one to come in and
make our waterworks a tributary to
Newark or Paterson, ana SO compro-
mise the interests of the city for all
futurity. Every reasonable person
will see that if we go to great expense
now to get a water supply, we must
own or control it. up TO the limit of
our present and prospective wants,
beyond all interference by any other
city or any other parties whatsoever.
In this particular, Mr.. Ruggles' draft,
as adopted by the Street and Water
Board, fulflls all requirements.
In all the minor details, the con-
ditions seem to be excellently framed.
The separate call for proposals for a
new conduit across the meadows is
perhaps a mistake. 1t might have
been better to include it in the main
outline of the works required. 1t is
absolute nonsense to think of using
the present rotten aqueduct with a
new supply. 1t is not only taxed to
its utmost capacity at present, but is
il such bad condition that it may
break any day and q water

new water supply O not, we will have

Judge werts' independent Demo

Judge Werts' independent Demo-
cracy.
When did Judge Werts cease TO be
a ring partisan?' asks the State
Gazette.
That depends on what you mean by
''ring." If by that term you mean
any narrow and selfish combination
such as the Sewell-HobarI one W hich
suns the Republican party in this
State to suit it's own interests, why
then Judge Werts never ceased to
belong to it, because he never be-
longed to it at all. Judge Werts has
all his life been ~singularly independ-
ent in opinion and action. He has
made nothing out of politics; he is to-
day a poorer man than if he had
never entered public life, and he has
never helped anyone else to gain a
dollar that was not his due, or for
which the people did not get one
hundred cents value. Judge Werts
has W. been a f~actional man.. He

ocratic interests and he is respected
by all alike. He voted for John r.
Mcpherson for United States Senator,
and Leon Albeit paid him the honor
of elevating him to the Supreme
Court bench. He was nominated for
Governor by an uprising of the
Democratic voters in which the whole
State except Hudson participated,
and in which Hudson. when her own
candidate was defeated, was ready to
join.
But If you mean by the word
sring,n simply the Democratic party,
using the term in your reckless, libel
lous partisan way, why then again
Judge Werts has never ceased to be
a partisan. He is now, always has
been, and, we believe, always will
be a staunch and fearless democrat.
He believes in the principles of the
party; he holds that the future hap
piness and freedom of the people are
involved in their triumph. He be-
lieves that they apply to matters
Of State Government as well as to
National affairs, and in his whole
course he has iabored for their adj
vancement.
Judge Werts believes in a free and
untrammeIled exercise of the right Of
suffrage. Therefore he is opposed to
the infamous proposal of the Repub-
iican party to place the polling places
in charge Of partisan d~esperados.
backed by the rifles and bayonets of
the Federal army. Therefore. too, he
made it his particular duty to frame
and secure the enactment of that
election law which is regarded by
many as placing New Jersey in the
very foremost position among States
in the march Of ballot reform, that
law which makes compulsion ineffec-
tual and bribery ridiculous, which
renders all crimes against the fran

secures for every vote cast its full and
just value in the final CONT.
