Some of the early potato and corn planting
by Bergen county farmers and gardeners Will
have to be done over again. Investigation OF
the condition OF the early crops shows tnat the
seed has o tied under the Influence OF the con
tinued heavy rains and cold weather.
At Bay Side, Salem county. there are engaged
in sturgeon fishing this season 1876 boats, owned
by twenty four firms. Their crews number 2I2
men, and altogether over three hundred persons,
are employed in the business. On one day of
last week these boats brought in 450 sturgeon.
All parts of the fish are used, and the roe, whlch
is made into caviare, and the Oil are the most
valuable products. Although the shau season
has been a poor one. the sturgeon are running
well.

county. is the owner of q peculiar crabapple
tree, which stands in his yard. IL is formed OF
three branches, which are divided just at the
ground and run to a height of about thirty feet.
Every year the tree has blossoms on only two OF
its branches, the third not bearing auy. Last
year the branch leaning toward the west falled
to produce any blossoms. and this season the
south branch is minus blossoms, while he west
branch is covered The crabapples which are
gathered from this tree are the finest in the
county.
A race between a train and a pretty black
and white dog created a stir among the people
gathered at Rahway station on Thursday. The
animal got caught by a train near Milton ave-
nue., between tue tracks and the fence, SO that
it could not escape death eqcept by beating tue
locomotive to Cherry street. The dog bounded
ahead Of the engine, which kept gaining ou it
every instant, aud ut last the animal, apparently
resiyned to his fate, stopped and crouched down
beside the track, lis head resting on its front
paws. The cowcatcher passed over it, but at
that mnnient the train stopped at the station
wat she'd he chase. and supposed the mangied
hoi ~ or the dog was under the wheels, the
animal craHiel out uuhurt and dartsd away.

Mayor Wanser,s Policy.


Speaking of Mayor Wanser, the
State Gazette has this morning a long
editorial on His Honor and the SER
vices he has done Jersey City. Among
other things, the Gazette says
Mayor wanssr is doing a great work here and
developing into a strong man. One great rea-
son of bis success lies in the fact that he Is con-
stantly advising with the best informed and
strongest men OF our city, and has sense ana
attempting to put everyone aside and go lt
alone. And for this reason, after a years work,
we can look back and sec that no
Tae city government. has been run
In the interest of the people. upon wise and con-
sentative lines, and upon the basis that govern
ment is organized for the benefit Of society and
the protection of the lives and property OF the
Individual members thereof.
This is all true. The Mayor has
disappointed the politicians Of both
parties. He has labored to run the
city government in the interest of the
people alone. AS Mayor, he has not
been apolitician, except in the sense
that honesty is the best politics.
1t is the misfortune of the Demo-
cratic party that it gave a republican
the opportunity to introduce this re-
form into the public service. 1t is
still more its misfortune that under
the dictation of Bob Davis it has been
given the appearance of opposing the
Mayors progressive work in the in
terest of a corrupt ring.
OF course, the Democracy is not in
this position. Honest Democracy is
with the Mayor, heart and soul, SO
long as he gives US fairly non-par-
tisan, upright and wise administra-
tion. The election of Mr.. Simpson
shows where honest democrats stand,
for, without Democratic votes, Mr..
Simpson could not have been elected.
Mayor Wanser is altogether differ
emit and distinct from his party. In
his personal standards, he is far above
it. The State Gazette recognizes
this, and, in praising him, inciden-
tally infiicts a scathing rebuke
upon the Republican State machine
for its selishness and corruption.
The Gdzette's editorial concludes with
the following significant words
The lesson Of Mayor Wanser's succ ess and of
the honest and patriotic purposes that won the
popular confidence and support is com mended
to the careful study OF the State leaders OF the
party.
In other words. Mayor Wanser's
success is the product of just those
good qualities in which, speaking
broadly, every other Republican
leader is lacking.

The Greenville citizens seem to
have more than enough right to com
plain of the way the Lehigh Valley
Railway is treating them. The COM
pany asked for the surrender OF a
number of streets and promised in re-
turn to make various improvements.
1t was to grade and sewer the extern
sion of Avenue d and Fifty-third
street and to grade and pave with
belgian blocks Avenue G, from Fifty
second street to Thompson Lane.
1t has made just n of these i'm
provements. 1t has paved Avenue G.
The other things promised have not
even been begun. 1t seems more
than probable that Avenue G would
have been neglected with the rest
only that the Jersey City and Bergen
Railway Company has an interest in
it, and probably has taken very good
care to have the work done. Avenue
D now remains in a frightful condi-
ton. 1t is so bad that vehicles pass
ing over it are liable to be capsized.
The city authorities should take
this matter up at once. The Street
and Water Board and the Corporation
Counsel should at once bring pro-
ceedings to enforce the terms OF the
company's agreement with the city.
II the company will not start the
work within a reasonable time. the
city should do it and sue the COM
panv for the cost.
At any rate, the Eexb time Mr.. Reon
Barnes comes to the meeting of thu
Street and Water Board to ask for
anything with his SNUG and insidious
airs of l~iberality, the gross abuse OF
confidence in this Thompson Lane
case will be borne in mind by the city
officials and the people.

EDITORS TALK OF MACHINES.
Not of the Political Variety However-A
Ride on the Lake.

CHICAGO, May 19.-The convention of
the National Editorial association at the
Mecca hotel was slow in resuming bust
hess. The first thing that was done when
the convention was called to order was
the announcement of invitations to the
delegates to visit objects of interest. Clin-
ton Rosette, of DeKal5, Ills, president of
the Illinois Press association, read paper
on typesetting machines and their value
in the composing rooms of small daily and
weekly journals. Mr.. Rosette said the
typesetting machine, in its wonderful and
complicated mechanism, is the most inter
esting invention of the last seven years.
Its success had been demonstrated and the
machine had come to stay.
After the reading of the paper there was
no discussion on the subject of the ma
chimes, but \. Water, delegate from La
fayette. Ind, moved that committee be
appointed to further investigate the sub
iect. Mr.. Water said that when an editor
proposed to buy one of the machines he
was asked 20 pay an eXtravagant price for
it, or lease It on terms unfavorable to the
lessee. He thought the whole subject
ought 10 lee looked into further. The
motion Nvas al opted and the chair APP
pointed Mir. Water, Mr. Proctor (of Mas
sachusetts), and W. e. Sharp (of Connec-
ticut to serve on the committee.
Mr.. Munger, of the New York delega-
tion, got up the type machine matter
was about to be dismissed and presented
resolution. President Price was about to
turn it over to the committee on resolu-
tions, but MVnger demanded that it be
read TO the convention, and the demand
was complied with. The resolutions said
a certain linotype machine had succeeded
in getting an excellent advertisement into
Mr.. Rosette's paper, for it the only
machine mentioned by that gentleman.
The resolution demanded that the makers
of all the other type machines be permitted
to present to Mr.. Waters committee the
merits of their inventions. The resolu-
tion was referred to the resolutions COM
mittee.
Secretary Pabor read paper which had
been prepared by Robert NJ. White, editor
Of the Mexico (NIo.) Ledger, on the subject:
"What Is Newspaper and What is
News?'
The next question discussed was Where
will the association meet next summer?
Boston came to the front with Il scheme to
hold the convention of 1894 in the middle
of the Atlantic ocean. 1t was proposed to
take the whole association on an excursion

He Proceeds Take Vote on the Sun

CHICAGO. May 19.-There was one feature
of the dedication of the Illinois building
that wasn't down on the bills. 1t was
along in the afternoon before Mayor Harri-
sons speech was called for and it is not
putting it too strong to say that he made
things very interesting. He opened his
speech by saying: Fate has placed me at
the head of mighty horde of hungry
patriots and ! must feed them with offices
so they can draw their pay. This scene
ought to inspire any one to speak a lew
words and not speak them badly" The
mayor made passionate plea for Sunday
opening and in a characteristic way pro-
ceeded to take a vote of the assemblage's
sentiment on the question after picturing
the religious aspect of the fair and con-
trasting it with the evil places outside the
gates When he asked all those in favor
of opening the gates Sunday to rise nearly

tanned their seats.
Among the guests were the national
commissioners and they did not at all relish
the idea of being put to a test vote in such
an impromptu manner by the mayor of
the city Tn y did not intend to go on
record in such public way, SO all kept
their seats, displaying, however consider
able uneaslness- Inc mayor was loudly
applauded when he said: 'As chairman
of this meeting declare the resolution in
favor of Sunday opening carried unani-
mously.' Mayor Harrison was prompted
to put the question of Sunday opening to
a vote by Commissioner L. b. Bryan, vice
president of abe exposition corporation,

He has been fighting the Sunday closers

seconds. and then said audibly: "Pll have
