The Reading Railway Decision.
The Chancellor's decision in the
Reading Railway suits puts the finish
ing touch on Governor Abbett's tri-
umph in respect to this litigation.
When the Governor began this fight,
there were all kinds of cynics to sheer
at its utility, and all kinds of sore
heads to prophesy the complete de-
feat of the State. The Republican
press was particularly bitter over the
movement, and showed an eager de-
sire for the success of the combine,
inst in order that Governor Abbett's
prestige might be impaired by a de-
feat.
The Governor just kept on his way
firmly and resolutely, and without a
word in answer to his critics. The in
reviewers could get nothing from
him: he was resolved to stake every
thing on the issue of the suits. When
the first decision came, pronouncing
the combine illegal. he pushed on to
enforce its requirements upon the
companies. The application for a re-
ceiver was made with the same unos-
tentatious determination, and, mean
time, new proceedings were instituted
against other branches of the COM
bine.
Then, of a sudden, came the sur
render of the New Jersey Central
Company. its withdrawal from the
Reading system, its formation of con-
tracts with the great rival of that sys-
TEN. the Pennsylvania Railway, and
at last something very like an open
rupture between the road and its late
associate in the great tripartite COM
bination. The Governor and the At
torney General, however, showed no
weakness, no premature haste in
abandoning their advantages. They
held on until the Chancellor rendered
b;s last decision in the suits, and no
.ten remained wanting save the
purely formal of the appointment

A Water Bid Puzzle.

One of the puzzling things about
that East Jersey Water bid is the utter
irreconcilability of the proposition
made to Jersey City, with the facts
reported to the Newark authorities by
all the engineers who examined the
Pequannock w~aterworks.
All the experts agreed that the ex-
treme capacity of the present works
did not guarantee a supply of over
3d. 600, 900 gallons per diem. In very
dry years. the possibilities of the sys-
tenn were rather below that figure.
The East Jersey Water Company has
practically admitted this, but has
promised to increase the works so as
to give a certainty of the 30, O0O. 0OO
called for by the Newark contract. by
the time the works are to be finally
turned over to that city in 1900.
Meanwhile, however, the per diem
capacity of the works is $4,000, 600
gallons.
But the Newark contract calls for
the daily delivery of 100000 per
day.
This leaves a surplus of 5000, 600
gallons a day, which the East Jersey
Water Company has the right to sell.
Where is it to get the remainder OF
the twenty to thirty-five millions OF
gallons a day, which it offers to sell to
Jersey City?

THE price at which this water is Of
fered, presents endless phases of i'm
pudence and fraudulency. Look at il
in this light
Our present consumption of water
is %, COG, 600 gallons a day. This, al
$50 a million gallons, would be 81, 100
day, or $401, 500 ayear.
Newark, under her contract, gets
$1,000, 600 gallons a day. 1t costs her
per year the interest on 81, 600, 600 of
her bonds, at 4 per cent, that is to
say, $3.50. 600. or about $40 per day,
or SIG. 80 per million gallons. That is
a pretty showing
Pequannock water costs Newark
$40. so per million gallons.
Pequannock water is offered to us at
$50 per million gallons.
Truly Mr.. Robert Davis, like a true
reformer, was toiling hard in the public
interest when he opened the way for
this public spirited offer.

The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1893-01-13

IT is an interesting fact that, If the
rate of increase in the consumption Of
water remains the same for this city
until 1900 that 1t has been for the last
ten years, we shall be using 81, 1000, 600
gallons per day in that year. The
average for the sever years from Low
until then will be 90, 900, 900 gallons
per day.

| they hold in o over the com-
pany, pending conclusive proof of the
good faith OF the abandonment of the
tripartite lease.
There can be little doubt but the
end of this suit will lead to a speedy
decrease in the price of coal. The
Reading combine-what remains OF
it-only controls now 45 per cent. of
the anthracite coal product and
though President Mcleod talks
bravely of the effect of a sstrict I'M
derstandingn between the roads, this
certainly cannot amount to the same
thing as an absolute union. Two of
the roads, the Central and Lehigh
Valley, are already quarrelling here
about a grade crossing, and where
there is friction over n branch oil
business, there is pretty sure to follow
competition over others, and compe-
tition a only mean one thing-low
rates.
THE Journal suggests that, dur
ing the severe weather, janitors of
public schools should have discretion
to open the schools and admit chill
dren earlier than the regular hour for
opening up the building. We differ
from the Journal. We think the jan
itors should have no discretion what
aver on such matter. They should be
compelled, under pain of instant dis
missal, to let the children into school
the very moment they appeared at
the doors, no matter how early. 1t is
nothing better than manslaughter to
keep boys and girls standing in the
bitter air of such mornings as these,
just because some idiotic rule exists
about the hour for opening the doors.

to go so fast that they fall over

ELECTRIC TRACTION is at last a
reality and a permanence on the
Montgomery street line. As We adj
vised and expected, Mr.. Thurston will
now use the horses liberated on this
line for the Improvement of the Green
| Vile and Belt Line services. He ought
to give us a few more late cars, too.
This company may not display the
most amazing rapidity in the line OF
improvement, but, on the whole, it
must be regarded as the most pro-
gressive institution in Jersey City. 1t
moves surely. if slowly, and it "gets
there in the long run.
Just now, it certainly deserves pub
lie thanks and encouragement.

Roxaltx,. Rsoeption ROOM.

castle is at present in the hands of the
workmen, who are executing process
of redecorating and regilding. This
magnificent chamber is one of. the state
apartments, but last year it was used as

by royal command gave entertainments
in the Waterloo chamber.
There are six superb pieces Of old

which overlooks the home park and Eton
college stands huge vase made en-

Breaking Up n Square.

A discussion seems to be going ON a. 10
whether an infantry square can be luohen
by charge Of men on foot OF on horse
back. TO the nonmilitary mind this
would seem impossible, provided that
the square is properly formed. But
read the other day that the French In
Dahomey cast melinite bombs into an
lntrenchment of the enemy, with the re-
suit that the assailants themselves had
to fall back in order not to be destroyed
by the suffocating fumes.
Is this fact or an effort of the jour
nalistic imagination? II the former,
what is to prevent melinite being fred
into any dense mass Of men on battle
field, whether In square or in any other
formation, and emitting such fumes
that the square would cease to exist
Admitting the truth of the statement, II
seems to me likely to render war 80 ex-
ceedingly dangerous pastime that few
sane human beings will be willing to
engage in it.--London Truth.

L,terary Chanoe. I'm New YORK.

The actual chances for literary success
in New York are in no respect different
from those which any greater city pre-
sents over those Of smaller community.
II literary man or woman can 60 to
New York with certainty offered in the
way of fairly paying position. then !
say, by all means 60, and If he has any
talent in him it will come out and win
quick success. But if he has only ordi-
nary gifts then let him stay where he is,
even with certainty offered him. New
York holds out nothing to such o man
except poor livelihood. Or, if writer
has established q fair reputation, is
known by editors and publishers through
letters, and he feels that there is some
thing in him which only the activity Of
great city will bring out, then let him
60 to busy Gotham.
But let him be careful that he does not
confuse ambition with talent. New
York is full Of ambitious writers, and
they will always remain ambitious, al
ways reaching out to eat the literary oats
which hang suspended just little out
Of their reach. Ambition is splendid
quality, but the talent must be there to
back it up. And the latter is what is
lacking in so many of the ambitious lit
erary spirits in New York today. 1t is
all ambition.-E. w. Box in Ladies'

What "Sta67' Is.

Great is "staff." With staff at his
command Nero could have afforded to
fiddle at fire at least once year. One
of the wonders of staff as seen at Chicago
is its color. Grayish white is its natural
tone, and the basis of its success at Jack
son park, but it will take any tint that
one chooses to apply and maintain live
illness akin to the soft bloom of the human
skin. Staff is an, expedient borrowed
from the Latin countries and much Gull
tivated in South America. Any child
skilled in the mechanism OF mud pie
can make it, after being provided with
the gelatin molds and water mixture
of cement and plaster. How the work
man appeared to enjoy seizing handfuls
of excelsior or fiber, dipping them in the
mixture and then ,sloshing the fibrous
mush over the surface of the mold!
When the staff has hardened, the result
ant cast is definite, light and attractive.
A workman may walk to his job with
a square yard Of the side of a marble
palace under each arm and Corinthian
capital in each hand. While it is little
green, it may be easily sawed and CHS
eled, and nails are used as in pine. More
over, rough joints are no objection, since
a little wet plaster serves to weld the
pieces into finished surface. In the
rough climate of Lake Michigan staff is
expected to last about six years, which Is
the average life of the ablest English
ministry. Great is staff!--C. G. Buel in

He'll VIII Be on q Cometi

What do you think of the idea Of hell,
the future abode of the wicked, being
situated in the nucleus of some gigantic
comet3 This opinion, odd as it may seem
to those who have given comets and the
future state of the dead but little atten-
ton, has been entertained by many really
eminent scientists and philosophers,
among them the learned DR.. Winston,
the friend and sometime adviser of the
great Sir Isaac Newton.
In answer to the inquiries Of friend,
who wrote to ask the doctor for some
tangible proof ON the subject, the follow
ing unique theories were advanced: "Ac-
cording to my calculations and deduc-
tions, this theory which you rightly say
must belong to me and me alone, does
locate he'll, the awful prison house of the
damned, in the fiery nucleus of some
(perhaps yet undiscovered) comet of un-
thinkable size.
"In this wide circling chariot Of fire
they will be whirled in the twinkling OF
an eye from the intolerable heat of the
surface of the sun back into space hun
dreds and hundreds of millions of miles
from the great torch bearer of our sys-
tenn. Thus instantly the wretched ten
ants will be given two unbearable ex-
tremes-one of cold and the other Of
heat-this to continue through the end
less ages of eternity, while the Almighty
is dispensing the seventies of justice"

From Cape Horn to Cape Town by Rail.

II adds something to zest of life--f
one has healthy. active fancy-to re-
feet that there are people now living
who may travel by continuous rail from
Cape Horn to the Cape of Good Hope.
The plan Of s'pan-A American" railway to
connect the South American systems,
through Central America. with the sys-
TENS of Mexico and the United States is
already wei advanced. tf
There are to be roads from the Cana
dian Pacific away up to the Peace rver
and Mackenzi evalleys, and it is not very
hard to believe that these may ultimate
ly be extended across the Rockies to the
Ukon valley in Alaska and continued
finally TO the narrow and shallow .beh-
ring straits, across which a connection
would be made with the Siberian road.
Continuous rail travel from Siberia TO
Constantinople will soon have become an
accomplished fact, and the link from
Constantinople to Egypt may be expect
ed quite confidently. r.
At the present rate Of developments In
Africa the construction OF road from
Egypt to the cape ought TO be realized
within 25 years. The channel tunnel
will of course have been built, and cleo

tive force will have superseded steam, 80
