WE hope the petition for the COM
pletion of the County Road will be
extensively signed, and that it will
have the desired effect. The road UNI
finished would be a ridiculous abor-

to the intelligence of the taxpayers OF
the County.

Our Utterly Unsanitary City.

ouE ObtCEA4
Health Inspector B%enjamin's annual
report gives rather a dismal idea OF
the hygienic condition of Jersey City,
and the worst of it is Mr.: Benjamin
does not exaggerate. 1t is true, the
city is marveIlously healthy, both at
present and on the average, but the
reason of that is to be found in our
to the breeZes from h bays
and rivers which surround US. THESE
go far to sweep away the germs OF dis
ease for which the soil of the place Is
q hot bed and to serve as an antidore TO
the malarial poisons from the marshes
and swalnps and sewers and old
creeks by bracing up and toning n
systems of those who breathe them.
According to Mr.. Benjamin, the
sewering of lower Jersey City, is both
i'll planned and insufficient, while
that of the Heights is INSULT
Gent, the open creeks are posi-
tive plague spots, and the whole

urated with the moisture which soaks
into it from the refuse and drainage
Of the place. The cleaning OF the
streets, too, is absurdly inadequate.
The removal of ashes and garbage is
too infrequent, and the pavements
are never swept clean.
The statements embraced in this re-
port will not strike anyone as movie
They are only sensational in that they
are seldom grouped together in n
broad arraignment of our sanitary
neglect. But whether startling or
not, every word of the report is true.
and the conclusion is that, save and
except Long Island City, Jersey City
is the dirtiest and most neglected spot
within two hundred miles of New
York.
The Police Board appears to be de-
termined to do its best to remedy this
state of things. Itproposes to enforce
rigid observance of the sanitary code,
SO far as citizens are concerned. This
is a long step in the right direction.
1t will earnestly fight for the instant
suppression of all %nuisances. This is
also a useful resolve. But what can
it do with such colossal nuisances as
the Mill Greek? How will it fight the
flooding of the mead ows north of the
railway with the sewage of the Hill?
What power has it to insist that MIR.
Henry Byrne's men shall sweep the
streets clean instead of going through
the motions9 How can it insist on a
more frequent collection of garbage?
In the first place, our system is
wrong. Power is too much divided.
Two or three boards have supervision
over matters equally vital to good
sanitation, and none of them appears
to have the power to effect any radical
improvement or reform. In the Sec
ond place. there is a total lack of
public interest in sanitation. People
kick at the simplest requirements of
the Health Code, and they grudge
every dollar spent o. cleaning up and
purifying the city. Enough money
is never appropriated for street sweep
ing; even the garbage allowance is
kept SO low that frequent collection is
out of the question.
Perhaps this summer may bring a
change. We may have a cholera cpl
demic. Then our citizens will know
more.

HE MAY RUN FOR GOVERNOR
Famous Statesman of Upton County
Being Gr00med 10 Succeed Matthews.
People laundering After q Man with Nerve to
Stop Roby Pights-DemOcraii Factions
in the Municipal Campaign.
AFTER THE GOyERNORsHIP.

Friends Of Hon. Jim Fippen Grooming Him
n Successor to Matthews.
Hon. j. 81. Fippen, the Upton statesman,
was IN the city yesterday upon mission
which had some my sterious bearing. There
was q rumor going the rounds that he had
some politics in mind. and when a Journal
reporter asked. ham about story that he
was going to stand for the next Democratic
nomination for Governor. he modestly said:
cit is too early to talk about the COVER
norship."
1t Is said that Mr.. Fippen's friends are
urging him to announce himself early so as
to get the advantage of being first in the
minds of those who will have to vote for
and elect him. They insist, above all
things. that he shall early consent to their
giving him their support. They say that
since Governor Matthews has made him.
self ridiculous by his loud Dretensions
about the imposition upon the State on the
part of Chicago sports at Roby. the minds
of the people are casting about for a man
of iron nerve and splendid courage. who
will be able to drive out the law-defying
intruders. Such O man, they tell HIM, is
the Honorable jim Fippen. of Upton. When
1t was suggested that the Governor and
the State are merely the victims of the
nefarious Ntzhugh, law. for which Mr. Flip
pen voted, his friends explain that he was
asleep at the time the bill was read. and
awOke just in time to vote for it upon the
representation by one of his colleagues on
the Democratic side of the House, that il
was a Democratic measure. These friends
explain that there was more excuse for
FlpDen being asleep when the bill was read
before the Legislature. than for the Gov
ernor to be asleep when he was bordering
over IL to find out whore to put his sigma
ture.
Mr.. Fippen was asked. yesterday, what
he thought OF the Governor and the ROby
scandal. and he said the Governors POSI-
tion was purely ridiculous"
If the candidacy of Mr.. Fippen should
rece i've the party and public favor which
his friends hope for. the old lines between
not cut much of figure. as Mr.. Flppen oo-
cupies rather a compromise position IN this
regard. While be was somewhat in favor
of the Cravings before the Chicago con-
vention, he was not offensive to the Shank
lin crowd. If any felt in the least sore"
at him, their luminosity must all have dis
appeared after Mr. FIppen's speech In the
Legislature declaring that he would not
''pIuck q farthIng from his Mr.. Shanklin's
pocket nor feather from his brow"
How do you stand now upon the SUBJ

action of lndlap was asked OF the big
statesman. whose views have always been
strongly Peiferish.

Cou,dn,t Get Police Protection.

Manager Fletcher endeavored to obtain
police protection from the c,ty but was IN
able to do so. He went first to Superin-
tendent Colbert. and that official told him
that he could do nothing without on order
from the board. Mr.. Fletcher then went
to Mr.. Hawkins. but got little or no salts
faction. Dir. Hawkins was noncommlttal:
wanted to know just what the trouble was.
just how much tho men had been paid, and
mum beriess other things. He said that be-
fore he could do anything he would have
to have a statement in writing as to the
status of the affair. and bid his caller
good day" Mr. Fletcher tried TO impress
on him that there was danger of there
being a riot and people being injured. but
Mr. Hawkins did not look at il that way.
and he sent no officers other than the patrol
men on that beat TO the scene.

to again try conclu sioDs with the bosses. Ii
