herself, no longer cares a rap for Jer-
sey City. She proposes to open new
system of sewerage which is to empty
the drainage of o vast and populous
district just opposite our intake. Com
ment on such an act of unneighborly
unscrupulousness is, of course, un-
necessary.
An additional source OF danger is
the diminished flow of the river.
Newark now takes from it's great
feeder, the Pequannock, some 25,000,-
600 gallons of water per diem. Thus
the flow of the river is reduced that
much and the percentage of pollution
is proportionately greater. Alto
gether, the outlook for Jersey City
water drinkers in the near future is
encouraging.

The Water We Drink.

Water Inspector Leake has some
thing new to tell us about Passaie
water, and he tells it in the columns of
The JERSEY CITY News today. 1t
is surprising that anything new can
be found to tell. The vocabulary of
abuse has been worn threadbare on
the subject. The water has been rep
resented as SO utterly aboIninable,
SO super-saturated with pollution,
that it is hard to understand how it
can be made worse.
But it can, and it soon will be. In
q very short time the river will be the
common sewer of half the population
of the State. Mr. Leake regards the
Passaic city sewer suit as practically
hopeless. This will give US all the
drainage of that big and growing
place up stream from our intake.
Orange, too. has adjusted its differ
ences with Belleville, and has secured
right of way for its sewer. The out
let of this is to be just one-quarter Of
a mile'from the Jersey City intake.
The browning horror is to come
from Newark. That sisterly city,

DRY SUNDAY CL0SERS.

The Merchants Protective Associations $
Prof oct Fighting Standard Oil.
That wide-awake and active organiza-
tion, labelled the Merchants Protective
Association, which is making Jersey
City hot place for delinquent debtors,
met last night principally to discuss the
Sunday closing movement-not the
liquor end of it, however. The dozen or
more members present all had something
to say. The movement was approved of
bv all and it was finally decided that the
stores of the members of the association
should be closed on Sunday, after June
10. The right to deliver Saturday night
orders on Sunday morning is reserved,
but no customers are TO be admitted TO
the stores and no new sales Will be maze.
Hoboken merchants will not observe
the rule. The Bayonnites will not c0un-
tenance it either, the representation from
that suburb maintaining that inasmuch
as their customers were chleny poor
people, dealers were compelled to keep
open stores for them Sunday morning.
Due notice will be given customers Oh the
Jersey City merchants who are In the
habit of making purchases Sunday morn
ing and cards announcing that the stores
will be closed on Sunday will be printed
in English and German and freely circu-
lated.
The secretary was directed to communi-
cate with the ministers and priests OF
every church in the city and ask them TO
aid in establishing the Sunday closing
movement These letters, ii noticed by
the pastors, will be spoken of next Sun
day from the pulpits- The merchants
also decided to close half a day on May ~,
so as to properly observe Decoration Day.
Two applications for member ship were
reported upon favorably. The appllca-
tions were John NJ Golf and Charles A.
johnson.
A report from the Hoboken branch had
a tendency to discourage the Jersey City
merchants. A member from Hoboken
was authority for the statement that the
last meeting held by the branch was a
successful one. A new president was
elected and beer flowed freely. but since
that event it has been impossible to secure
quorum.
Mt Finck, Hoboken grocer, endeav-
ored last night to get the association to
enter into fight against the Standard
Oil Company. or in other words to boy
colt that company and support new
company which has sprung into existence
aud is competing with the Standard. MIR.
Finck, said he was being charged nine
cents gallon for oil when merchant on
Central avenue was securing the same
article for eight cents. Mr.. Finck IS
through with the Standard people, ana
maintains that if all the merchants
would follow his example the company
could be brought to time. Mr.. Fiuck also
referred to the sudden drop in prices
from nine cents per gallon to four cents,
when the Standard Company attacked It's
competitor Mr.. Finck tenrs that ii the
Standard competitor is knocked out, the
price of oil will go up with rush.
The Association adjourned after feast
ing on several sample cans of a new brand
condensed milk.

Waiting and Hoping for wanser.

waiting ana hoping IOf WauSer'
1t is only necessary to read Father
Hennessy's interview, published in
another column to see chrystallized
into a few words the thing which
every sensible man must have thought
in his own mind regarding the Sun
day liquor traffic and Mayor Wanser's
attacks upon alleged abuses in the
city government.
Father Hennessy is not politician,
neither does he occupy the same
position towards public men that a
newspaper does. He is not required
by his duty or position to assume the
roll of critic. On the contrary, from
benevolence of impulse and from
religious habit he inclines to take the
mldest and most hopeful view of
Mayor Wanser's line of action present
and prospective. He says the Mayor
was elected by a moral element of the
community which expects him to help
in the work of enforcing the Sunday
liquor law, aud such people are
waiting and hoping" for him to take
up decisive position. He is inclined
to excuse the Mayors negative atti-
tude SO far on the ground of the
many cares of his new office.
But, not intending it, and we be-
lieve not even noting that he does it,
Father Hennessy passes the severest
condemnation upon the Mayor. OF
what consequence is little extrava-
gance, he asks, in comparison with
this monster evil. That is just what
every sensible man must say to him
self. If Mayor Wanser can find time to
detect an alleged waste of couple of
hundred dollars in Tony Conk's pay
roll, how is it he cannot get time for
one manly word about the enforce
ment OF the Sunday closing law?
Is the subject complex one? Are
there two sides to it? Is there danger
of imperilling the interests of the
city? Is there any room for doubt as
~ pllC AACbloN VI klhooSNoAV w oSSoiO
the enforcement of the lawe
No, no, no! There is room for neither
hesitaney nor delay, There is neither
doubt nor difficulty in the ease.
If Colonel Wanser wanted to take
part in this fight, it was the very
easiest thing in the way of reform
that he could have taken in hand.
But the people who looked to him
for aid are still waiting and hoping,
They will wait and hope a long time.

it. He thinks it would be bad
politics for him to antagonize it.
And he will not antagenize it. Rum
