The State Board of Arbitration are at

The members of the board are J. P. Nc

town. J. w. Romano, of Paterson, is
the secretary.
The men employed by David g. Co. went

in wages OF fifty cents a day. The firm
employ about fifty men and a greater
number of women. The women have re-
manned at work. The places of some of
the strikers nave been taken by non-union
weavers, whose appearance soon after the
strike began was the occasion of a small
riot.
Commissioner Doyle expects that the
board will settle the strike. The board
will soon give attention to the strike OF

FIELDER AND SILVER.
he Believes the Sherman Act
Repeater Will Be Con-
"ditionally Passed.

Congressman George b. Fielder was ut
his office in the Court House this morn
ing. He came up from Washington to
attend the outing of the George B.
Fielder Association tomorrow. In speak
Ing of the situation in Washington Mr..
Fielder said that the agreement which
was entered into between the silver aud
anti-3iIver men was a happy arrange
ment and one which gave evidence of
resulting beneicially. The debate WAS
being conducted in q most gentlemaply
and n~on-partisap spirit.
OF curse there were q few rank parti-
sans VINO were doing ali they could to
embarrass the proceedings so as to make
capital for the Republicans, but The
majority appear TO be anxious TO do all
in their power 10 extricate the country
from its present piecarious condition
financially.
A SIGNIFICANT VOTE.
Mr.. Fielder said mat the vote on the
previous question in the House was a
good indication OF the way in wnicn the
lower branch of Congress stood upon
this subject of silver. That question was
carried by a majority OF forty, aud Mr..
Fielder was of the opinion thas that rep
resented the majority by which Il bill re.
peaiing the Sherman nc: will be passed.
He had some DOUBT as TO whether the
liH would be an unco national rspealer.
and thought that there would be some
conditions in the bill, but what those
conditions would be, and what the parity
between gold and silver-aud he thought
there would be ON parity-he could
not say.
WHO WANTS TURNIP SEEDS.
The Congressman is now tu II position
to DO something for any and every one of
his constituents. He has GU hand q large
supply OF beautifully assorted turnip
seed. done up in handy packages, each
containing six varieties. which a benefi-
cent government raises at q great ex-
pense for its citizens. Mr.. Fielder also
has on hand d large number OF printed
copies of the reports OF the various de-
paftmehts and otner cnoice literature
Produced by The Government Printing
Office. together with volumes of The COM
penalum aud digest of the misre presenta-
lions and misstatements, which Editor
Porter calls the census. Any citizsn OF
this district wishing any of this tirsl-ciass
turuip seed or superior reading mattsr
can have it by sennipg his address TO

wants.

Tho Board OF Finance has done just
the right thing in ordering the per-
eInptory sale of lands for tax delin-
quency. 1t is absurd that the city
should be paying interest for years
upon loans originally raised as short
time loans in anticipation OF taxes,
merely because taxpayers i'll not pay
up. This is one of the most serious
abuses from which this city has sui
fered, and one of the most important
elements in swelling the tax rate of
each succeeding year.
The system of borrowing in antici-
patton of taxes is an exceedingly bad
one; but it is certainly at its worst
when the loans are contracted up to
the full theoretic total of the levy,
and then a considerable portion has
to be carried over for years until it is
merged in the funded debt, because a
discrepancy of equal amount remains
between the face value of the tax levy
and the actual payments by property
owners.
Experience has shown that tax
sales work enthusiastically little hard
ship. They very seldom deprive the
poor and frugal of their little hold
ings. They generally hit either
wealthy who absolutely for
get the ownership of tracts of unim-
proved land, or else a class of specu-
lators who buy lots cheap and delib-
erately refrain from paying the taxes,
figuring that after some years they
a sell out and pay the accuInula-
ton as well as realize a handsome
profit out of the famous June armed
increment" of value in the property.
For such holders us these there should
be no sympathy. They are simply
aiming TO make fortunes at the ex-
pense of their fellow citizens. Their
effort is to reap the benefit of devel-
oplnent to which they really contrib
ute nothing. The queer revelations
that have resulted from the Martin
Act sales and the reception of prop
erty bought in by the city thereat,
will some day make a very curious
and interesting story and n that
will show the eminent expediency of
a city taking the most stringent
means to enforce it's rights at every
step.
Nothing is more remarkable than
the number of people who step right
up and settle the moment their pro-
perty is advertised for sale for taxes,
and if no other cash were realized
than from this source, the proceeding
ordel~i by the Board of Finance yes
terday should be a highly profitable.
one.

The Meadow PING Line.


The very inexpensive and highly
efficient plan recommended by En-
gineers De Varona and Van Buren,
for the immediate increase of the sup
ply of water at High Service should
be promptly adopted. There can be
no doubt but it would be madness to
attempt the larger task of building
new mains across the meadows at
this time. The city cannot stand the
expense, the prospects are too un-
favorable for the undertaking of
large bonding schemes. and, above
all, the work could never be entrust-
ed to the present Street and Water
Commissioners, who are incapable of
conducting any work honestly from a
ten-dollar street patching job up.
After the city gets rid of the pratt
cal crew who manage its public works
to their own advantage, the water
question should be taken up
broadly and seriously, and this
meadow pipe line should be made
a leading feature of any plan that
nay be adopted. There can be no
doubt but u new conduit is needed,
must absolutely be built within a
year or two. But if the city is for
tunate enough to get . water supply
at such head IS to make gravity de-
livery at the High Service reservoirs
a possibility, the pipe across the
meadows should, of course, be Of far
different material and strength from
what would suffice II pumps were to
be used.
We are near the end OF the summer
now. There is no sort of probability
Of a shortage of water at this late sea-
son OF the year. Next summers needs
can-be provided for at a few thou
sand dollars expense under the plans
suggested by Messrs. De Varona and
Van Buren,. This gives the munich
pal authorities practically two years
to consider and mature the best pos
sibIs plan of permanent relief. We
hope, long before that time has
passed, to see the whole water ques-
ton settled on a permanent basis.
