The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1894-10-10

THE readers of the journal were
treated yesterday to an amusing sqeal
by Mr.. Clayland Tilden against the
'bossism'' of Samuel d. Dickinson, pres
ent City Comptroller, and late Post
master during the green goods regime.
Tilden intimates that the gang which he
heads in the Fifth Assembly district is
going to get no sort of fair play from
the gang headed by Dickinson.
Mr.. Tilden is Superintendent of the
Freight Docks of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. He represents the Sewell idea
in our local politics. AS is well known
Sewel and Dickinson are deadly enc
mics now, and Dickinson is on top in
the Fifth.
This is the whole true inwardness
of Mr.. Tilden's howl about bossism.
1t reminds one of that old story about
the pot and the kettle.

INDIAN HUNTERS HARDSHIP.

Safely and Are SoundIy Spanked.
The son of Policeman Folly of the Ho-
boken Police Department, who ran away
a week ago with two others and was ar
rested for vagrancy in Scranton last
Sunday. was taken home yesterday and
spanked hard. TIL boys had been de-
vouring dime novels and went Indian
hunting. Young Foley said he was in
duced by the others to run away n
they say he persuaded them. The boys
had nothing to eat for two days while
riding in, a freight car to Scranton and
were nearly famished. The car they
hid in was half loaded with boxes and
barrels n was locked tight after they
had concealed themselves. They had
not calculated that ndian hunters
needed food and had not a morsel Of
grub around. When pangs of hunger
came they pounded on the sides of the
car to get out but were locked in fast.
Foley says they couldn't sleep and were
altogether unhappy when the door was
opened. They were threatened with ar
rest for stealing rides, but pleaded hard
n were let 20. Then they begged for
food, not finding Indians to eat, and
were arrested for that. Foley was glad
to get home again and submitted will
lingly to the punishment.

A Bolt.

An almost equally disheartening ex-
hibition is the appearance of Everett I.
Wheeler as a boiling candidate against
the regular Democratic nominee for
Governor of New York. Mr.. Wheeler
has been a great tariff reform talker all
his life. 1t is his stock in trade. All
his hackers are enthusiasts in the same
cause. It is an insoluble mystery, there
fore. how they reconcile it with their
acute consciences to come out now in
open hostility to the standard bearer of
the tariff reform cause.
There is no more chance of Mr. Wheeler
being elected than there is of Tom
Reeds becoming a Democrat; but it is
highly probable that he will poll votes
enough to defeat Hill and elect Tom
Platt's Mr.. Morton, Governor. This will,
truly, be a triumph of reform, a vic
tory for good government, a worthy
climax to Mr.. Wheeler's career.
Mr.. Wheeler and his friends know
what advantage will be taken of a DEM
ocratic defeat in New York, this
fall. They know, first, that it
will check if not prevent any
further reform in the next Con-
gress; second, that it will help throw
the control of the United States Senate
Into the hands of the Republicans; third,
that it will seriously compromise the po-
sition of the Democratic party when it
enters the next National campaign. The
Republicans will claim with great show
of reason that Democratic defeat now is
a condemnation of tariff reform, and
they will not spare to make the most
use possible of the advantage. Besides
the control by them of the government
of New York State and New York City
will give them a vantage ground to
carry the State which the Democratic
party has heretofore always enjoyed.
Painful as it may be to say it. the
bolt of Mr.. Wheeler and his faction in
The present crisis can be regarded as
nothing but the blacklist treachery.

POOR OF ENGLAND
Misery and Want Revealed by
Government Statistica
Great Anxiety Occasioned in London by
the Great Increase and Continued
Growth of Pauperisrn-A Ter
rible Showing.

The remarkable fact that through
put the whole Of England and Wales
there were at the end of last year
twenty-four paupers existing on gov
ernment charity In every thousand OF
the population, is contained in great
nass of statistics on pauperism re-
gently issued by the poor relief depart
ment of the British government. The
exact percentage was 24.5 paupers per
1000 of populatio There was great
Increase of pauperism during the year,
many thousands of people, owing to
the general business depression, being
driven to ask for relief for the first
Time in their lives, and the officially
recorded proportion of pauperism
reached the highest point in many
years. The proportion was smallest in
1891, when it was 23.2 to the 1000 popu-
lation. This is a remarkable fact in
Itself, as indicating the normal amount
of extreme pauperism in England, for
the record is only Of paupers applying
for government relief.
1t is a curious fact, says the New
York Sun, that the proportion OF
paupers to population is smaller in
London than throughout the rest OF
England and Wales. But there has
been a great increase and continued
growth of pauperism in the metropolis
in recent years which is causing a
great deal of anxiety. In the second
week of last December there were 106,-
BIC paupers in London, which was
Equivalent to 243 per 900 of the whole
population. This was 1926 more pau
pers than were receiving relief in the
pity in the corresponding week of the
previous year, and a greater number
than il any year since 1872.
The proportion of pauperism in Lon
don was the highest in the years 1867
and 1859, when it reached 47.8 and 4S.1
respectively to the 1000 of population.
But these were years of exceptional
depression, and the astounding figures
have never been reached in any other
year since the Inauguration of the
present system of statistics. The low
est point was reached in 1891, when the
proportion of paupers was 22.4 per 1, 200
of population. Since that year there
has been steady growth of pauper-
ism In the metropolis, and at such a
rate and with such coincident circum-
stances as to be the cause of much
anxiety TO the authorities and a mat
ter of great public concern.
But these figures are of the pauper.
ism only that comes to official notice,
Rnd the record takes no account OF the
vast amount Of poverty that is relieved
by private charity and through other
than government sources. To "go on
the parish is the last and much
dreaded resort of the honest poor, only
to be aveiled of IN direst extremity,
and the coroners' records show that
many unfortunates have died of actual
starvation rather than thus apply for
public charity. More than dozen of
such sad cases are noted on the official
returns of inquests held in London
alone during last year. So that the
startling showing of twenty-four pau
pers in every thousand Inhabitants is
Dnly part Of the picture of poverty in
England.
