The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1893-01-03

right, OF JuStlce, ana OF the ulSHesI
public expediency against the forces
of ~selfishness, petty vengeance, and
narrow prejudice. There is much at
stake for the Democratic party, and
much for the people of the State. The
defeat of Albeit means for the one,
division and Generalization, for the
other, the establishment of a cut
throat system, in which the public
interests are the last thing to be con-
sidered. Let us hope that wisdom
and justice will guide the councils of
the Democratic majority of our Legis-
lators, and that the prize will be
awarded to the man who has honestly
earned it.
WE sincerely hope Mr.. Mullone
will succeed in adjusting his troubles
with the Klein estate. and will be
able to carry on the brave
fight he has been making to
a profitable issue. Mr.. Mullone
has endeavored to do something
enterprising, a thing beneficial
to the public of Jersey City. He has
spent a very large amount of money
upon his theatre, and it is rather a
reproach to the public of the city that
the return has not been large enough
to save him from embarrassments.
Mr.. Mullone has fitted up a very
pretty theatre, with very commodious
facilities for presenting good modern
| plays. All last season he kept the
| best shows on the road on his stage.
There were not over three week
when the pieces presented fell below
par. This year, though the general
grade of the performances may not
equal last years, many excellent at
fractions have been presented. 1t is
| strange, indeed, to learn from the
court proceedings, that the receipts
have not been sufficient to cover the
expenses. If the theatre had been be-
low par, we would not wonder; but
run as it has been, it should at least
have made enough money to hold the
lessee safe. Common has it
that Mr.. Mullone has secured new
capital to carry on the house n ad-
vertise it more extensively. 1t is to
be hoped he will succeed, and that
every theatre goer in the city will
help in some degree to that result.
Needed Horsecar Improvements.
The Jersey City and Bergen Rail
way Company has met with some
provoking delays in starting its cleo
trio cars. But, without doubt, they
will be running in two or three days
on a permanent basis. This will be a
great convenience to all citizens. and
a vast benefit to property on the Hill.
Many unoccupied houses should fill
up this spring in the section reached
bv the electric line.
The completion of this line should
bring benefits, indirectly, to all the
other lines, too. Presumably, prepar-
alton for electric traction will soon be
begun on another; but, meanwhile,
much better service should be given.
Mr.. Thurston has always said that
the number of cars run was limited
bv the number of horses available,
and this was controlled by the stable
facilities. The cessation Of horse trac-
ton on the Montgomery street line
will free a large number of animals
which presumably can be used on the
other roads. The Montgomery street
stable is convenient to the Belt
Line changing place at the head of
that street, and there is no reason
why the Roadway on these cars should
not be cut down from fifteen minutes
and ten minutes to ten and five at the
less ard more busy periods OF the day.
Another much needed improvement
is the running,of cars half or three
quarters of anNhour later at night.
Now they stop just soon enough
to cause much Inconvenience to many
theatre and party goers. There is no
reason why all the cars should not be
kept at fifteen minutes headwayuhtn'
100 A. M. There is lots of business
for them. Apropos of this matter, it
would be no harm if some better ar
rangements were made by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company in respect
to ferry facilities in the early morning
hours. Just now, great annoyance is
caused every night in the year by the
deficiency of boats from midnight to
one or half past one A. NJ, and above
all, by the absurd way in which the
change in time is operated.
When it is considered how much
benefit could be wrought by a very |
little study of the public needs, it is
miraculous how self-evident faults are
allowed to prevail year after year
without an attempt at remedy.
