the Consolidated secures by this ordi-
nance. They serve to illustrate two
Of the main points we have claimed:
First, the design to establish a no
nopoly by gaining control of every
street suitable for a street car route,
even though they could only be oper-
ated at present to the detriment of
already existing lines controlled by
the Consolidated; and, second. the
hopeless impossibllity of the city re-
covering any yearly per centage on
account of these routes. their use be-
ing obviously inseparabie from the
present Jersey City and Bergen lines,
and ia many cases involving en-
tanglements and complications which
no system of bookkeeping could
straighten out.

Now we have a final word to adj
dress to the leaders Of the Democrat ic
party, to Dennis Mclaughlin. whose
power is now in the ascendant, to
John p. Feeney who is one OF its
most Influential chiefs, to Edward A.
Stanton, who is to head the Demo
cratic ticket as candidate for Sheriff,
and to all the other leaders
prominent in the party councils.
We propose to say this word plainly,
simply. without rhetoric.
The Street and Water Board is
made up Of FIVE democrats. There is
no republican in it. The eyes of the
people are upon this Traction ques-
ton. If the Board passes the ordi-
nance oyer the Mayors veto. 1t will
become a leading issue in the CAM
paign this fall, and the Mayor is a
republican.
How do you expect to face the
people upon such an issuea Do you
think you can win ON ita Or do you
think you will have such an easy
time this fall that you can afford to
disregard this matter2
Recollect your last chance is Mon
day morning. II you don't stop it
then, you must face the music.

representative of the Consolidated
Traction Company induced Mayor
Simpson TO veto the resolution
vaeating Railroad avenue for the
JpnctiQn Docks and Connecting Rail
road Company. This is the explain
alton of the act as tbs story goes:-
It will take four votes in the
Street and Water Board to pass
the Traction ordinance over
the veto. There are only three
pledged to #. They + Messrs. Mad
den, Cook and Voc.
These three take no particular in
terest In the Railroad avenue matter;
but Messrs. Dugan and Somers are
very DESTROYS that this latter resolu-
tion shall pass.
Foreseeing that their own erdi-
nance would be vetoed, the Traction
promoters thought they saw the
chance for a deal, q sort Of reciprocity
arrangement Il they could get the
Railroad venue vacation vetoed too.
This is, Of course, only rulnQr and
talk. and we give it for what it is
worth. The idea Is that A says to p,

10 the Railroad avenue vacation were
sound, we do not deRy, but the veto
was an unfortunate necessity Just at
that time.
Now. we are in favor of the Rail-
road avenue vacation. properly COM
pensated for, as the Junction Railroad
has agreed. But we are most eter-
nally against the passage of that res
olution over the Mayors veto, espe-
cialiy il it is to carry the Traction
villainy with it.
We plainly say to the Junction
Railway people and their representa-
tives that they cannot afford to in
volve themselves in the disrepute of
such a deal. They will want other
things from the city in the future; it
will not do to make themselves the
instrument Of a public outrage now.
Nor is there any need for them to
do Sc. Mayor Wanser and Mayor
Simpson both approve the bargain
they have entered into. 1t is only
the form OF their resolution that is
objected to. 1t is easy to change the
form.
1t must, be remembered. too, that if
that resolution is passed now ever the
Mayors veto, only the original reso-
luton will be SO passed. All the con
cessions offered by the company will
be lost to the city at least as a matter
of legal right. These are:-
ID. The paving Of Fremont street.
(). Taking care of the surface drainage at
low points on Wayne street and Railroad
avenue.
60. The erect ion Of a bridge the full width Of
Mercer street, both for the present and proposed
lines.
"a. The fling of a bond of sso,oOo to perform
this work,
In a word, the passage of the ordi-
nance over the veto means a free
grant of Railroad avenue to the COM
pany, the same proposition that ex-
cited a storm OF public wrath a few
weeks ago.

Our Trenton correspondent een=
tributes an interesting chapter to the
discussion in an calculation Of the
contract clause of the Traction law
passed this year by the Bad Legis-
latnre. He shows conclusively that
the action Of the Street and Water
Board on Monday, if it passes this
ordinance rel the Mayors veto, will
fasten the monopoly upon the necks
of the people for all time, and NOT
even the Legislature Of the State can
ever grant relief.

Secretary Carlisle Indicates What His
Course Will BE.
Secretary Carlisle has made the following an
nouncement Of policy with relation to appoint
ments in the light house service:
'In reply beg leave to inform You that the
positions fer which Mr.. Green and Mr. Burger
apply are no: vacant, and no cause for the re-
movAl Of the present incumbents b known.
The great number Of light keepers employed
and their isolated situations prevent anything
like constant overseeing of their work, and q
faithful performance Of their responsible duties,
involving the safety Of the vast amount Of prop
erty md the number Of lives intrusted to
their care. depends upon the good character and
competency Of the keepers themselves. Il has
been. and is. the policy OF the department
and of the light house establishment, to en-
courage and insure o high standard among
them By retaining them in the service during
competency and good behavior and by pro-
noting and transferring them to better sta
tons rewards fcr good service. Light keep
ers are held to strict performance of duty,
but unless some incompetency or neglect on
their part is shown they are not disturbed in
their tenure OF Office.
II. has been the uniform custom for many
years TO regard the light house establishment;
as a non-par.isan service. It is my intention
to continue that custom. No light keeper will
be disturbed BY me in his official position
merely because Of his political opinions"

A Weighty Argument

For the use of the Carlsbad Sprudel
Salt is that it goes to the root of
the disease, while other remedies
strike only at the disease.
Notice the distinction.
For instance: Pills and purga-
tives which act quickly upon the
bowels irritate and destroy the
mucous coats of the stomach and
bowels. A continued use of such
remedies produces chronic infam-
nation of the stomach and bowels.
The use of the genuine imported
Carlsbad Sprudel salt is. there
fore. highly recommended because
Its action is due solely to its con-
stitutiOnal solvent and stimulating
properties, without irritating the
stomach. Be sure. however, to OBJ
tain the genuine imported article.

INAUGURAL HOSPITALITY.
How a Capitol Hill Couple Entertained Gov
Russell without Knowing Him.

RUSSELL without knowing Him.
Even in these latter days people sometimes
entertain angels unawares. A lady who lives
on Capitol Hill had invited a number of friends
to luncheon on Inauguration day, but the
severe weather prevented the attendance Of
those who were to have beeNguests. The disap-
pointed hostess then thought of the suffering
soldiers who were right in front OF her house
and whom she had been watching from
he- parIor window. She suggested to
her husband that as their friends
had failed to come to partake of the nice oysters
and hot coffee he go out ard invite some of
the shivering men to come in ard be refreshed.
To this her husband assented. and seeing q
little group of soldiers standing apart from the
others he invited them all to come
in. They accepted gladly. and after
partaking of the nice warm edibles
and liquids the leader Of the party thanked the
lady for her kindness and requested her name,
which being given, ne informed the hostess that
he was Gov. Russell of Massachusetts, and
that his companions were members of
his staff. After assuring the astolished
couple that hospitabie reciproeation was a GER
tainty should ;hey ever visit Massachusetts and
call upon HIM. the governor and his officers
went out and .ooh their places in the column.

Fire Marshal Whitcomb. in his investigation
OF the big fire Of Friday in Boston has estab-
lished one important point-the reason why
the flames spread throughout the building SO
quickly and so furiously. The cause seems to
have been as follows: On the third ioor We're
TWO closets, one used by the jani:or for tue
storing OF brooms and the other as a toilet
room. Between these closets. ~ IA small space
in the wall about five or six feet from the floor
was an immense gas meter. The fire started in
the toilet room. 1t is thought that there was a
break in the big pipe, and instantly an immense
stream Of gas rushed forth. which was ignited
by the flame and spread throughout the floor,
sweeping everything in its path.
