To the Editor of The jersey City Mems:
/ noticed in the last edition of the EUening
Journal of May 81. IN article headed-"No.
8 Boys did the best Marching" on Memorial
Day. In justice to the boys from some of
the other schools, / want to say that No. %
boys, in my Judgment, W ere second to none
of the school boys who took part in the
parade; in fact, all the circumstance con
sidered, they should be entitled to first place,
both in their marching and discipline, as
well as the precision of line which they kept,
during the entire parade. They wore no
uniform except caps; this, in no way added
to the precision of their drill. Now it must
be remembered that while the boys of No 8
had the advantage Of being thoroughly drilled
by the gallant Major Brensinger, the boyslofi
No. % were drilled entirely by boys of their
own age without any outside. helppr %instruc-
ton whatever. Corporal Harry t. Jones of
the Fourth Company, Boys, Brigade, gave
his schoolmates OF No. So the first instruc-
ions in the drill of a soldier; he is a soldier
| " fellow himself and owes his entire mill
tary education to that thorough ~disciplinar-
ian, Captain 'RichardiP s Romano, who
called upon hin to act as Second Sergeant
and march on the left Of his company during
the Memorial Day parade. For this reason
he was forced to turn over his command,
Company A of School No. %, to his brother,
SlllOrQ L. Jou6S, u yOutu VI AOui lcou ySdio3
and First Lieutenant in the Junior Fourth
Company, Boys Brigade. The thorough
ness with which he drilled his command
made itself apparent to any observing eyes,
in the marching and carriage of his com
paDy. The second company, B, commanded
by Captain Harry Woodhouse, and Company
| c, commanded by Captain Jewell, all boys
of about the anne age, deserved equal credit.
1t is a fact that No.. % boys a all the
turns at street corners and wherever neces-
sary on line of parade, and were fully up to
the drill of the new tactics. They were
prompt and. careful in their salutes at all
times to their superior officers n to the
colors; and their marching salute past the
grand stand could not have been executed
better by soldiers many years their senior,
a fact which His Honor the Mayor must
nave noticed.
The writer served over ten years in the
Seventh Regiment, N. G. s. n. Y, and is
competent to judge of soldierly bearing and
marching.

NEW PROVIDENCE LINE PIER.

The Providence Line has been identified
withSthe lower partaof the City of New York
for along time, having occupied Old Pier ~
for many years. The city, however. de string
to widen West street, has torn down Pier 20,
and the Providence Line, following the up
ward march, has removed to New Pier 81,
North, River, one block above Canal street,
where this fayorite line will resume passeIi-
ger service to Boston, Providence, Worcester
and all Eastern points on June 4. New
Pier SO has been entirely remodelled and
greatly enlarged to accommodate the Provi-
dence Line. A new two story front has been
built, 800 feet in length, on West street, and
new ticket offices, baggage rooms, waiting
rooms, etc have been fitted up in the most
complete manner.
The external appearance of new Pier So,
with its great length and heighth on the
street, is most imposing, and it is safe to say
it is one of the finest piers in every way on
the water front.
This pier is very accessible, being one
block above Canal street, three blocks above
Desbrosses street ferry, and two blocks from
Houston street. The belt line. Houston
street, and part of Sixth avenue cars run by
the pier.

Sophos, or kidnapping IA Kings.
Albert Alberg, the well known London
author, has written q novel OF q startling
revolutionary character entitled "Sophos,
or Kidnapping the Kings" The manuscript
of this novel was deemed too inhammatory
in character for production in Europe, and
was successfully refused by all the great
London and Partisan houses. Mr.. Al
berg then brought his book to America,
but the publishers of New York and
Boston refused to print it, for the same
reason. At last a publisher was found
in Chicago bold enough to give 1t to the
world. The book shows i'll detail now the
tyrants of Europe were captured by a secret
society of Socialists, and transported to the
island of New Atlantica. A reign OF uni-
versal brotherhood follows the successful
elimination of the society's Coup detdt.
Mr.. Alberg is the author of "Fabled Stories
from the Zoo" which has rivalled "Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland" as a popular
work of fiction for young readers. But this
is by no means his first attempt at higher
flights. As 'sSophos' reveals an intimate
acquaintance with the various poiiti
cal intrigues now in progress in the
different courts of Europe, 1t is not
surprising thai several foreign emissaries
have been secretly sent to this country for
the purpose of preventing the publication of
this volume. The publishers, have, how
ever, steadily declined all overtures among

ciety of Berlin. of which it Is well known
that the young Emperor William, the Gar,
and Signor Crispi are active members The
book will be issued in 9 few days by the
Bow-KHot Publishing Company of Chicago,
with a portrait and biography Of its daring
author.

THAT TEN CENT FARE
Mr.. Lowe of GreenvilIe to Test
the Traction %Company's
Rights.

Ever since the Consolidated Traction Com
pany opened the new trolley line to Newark
the residents of this city ave been grumb-
hing and saying all manner of harsh things
against the officials of the company because
they are compelled to pay ten cents fare in
order to ride to any point in the city limits
on this line. The point has been raised as to
whether the company is not violating the
terms of the contract with the city as well
the State law by charging the double fare
and the matter will shortly be decided by a
test case which will be brought before Judge
McGrath at the Second District Court. The
case viii be fought by Lawyer Robert
Carey of Hudspeth & Puster's Office, who
saws that he will prove beyond the shadow
of a doubt that the company is violating the
State law Mr.. Carey has been engaged to
bring suit for damages against the company
the Heights, and the case will be watched
with much interest by tho residents of the
Heights and Greenville. Mr.. Lowe boarded
one Of the Newark cars at the Junction on
Sunday, and wanted to ride to Jersey ave-
nue..
PUT OFF THE CAR.
When the conductor asked him for his
Hike 10 tCAACl III u SCAO RACSOt HAt 49,
conductor refused to take it, and told him
that if he wanted to ride on the car no
would nave to pay ten cents. Lowe replied
that the fare on any other car for the same
distance would be but five cents, and said
that he would not pay the fare demanded.
The conductor then stopped the car and put
him off. Over q score of other citizens
have undergone the same experience during
the past few weeks, and Mr.. Loves suit will
probably pave the way for q number of
similar litigations.
LAWYER Carey, when interviewed by a re-
porter of The JERSEY CITY NEWS yester-
day, said
fight made by Tax Commissioner James
Clarke, who was then a member OF the As
sembly. makes it unlawful for any corpora
ton to charge more han five cents fare for
carrying passengers within the limits of any
city of the first class. The Consolidated Trac-
ton Company is a common carrier, and
cannot run any cars through
privilege of riding on them. The company
cannot refuse to carry passengers on its
Newark cars from any one point In this city
to another, md in doing SO must conform to
the State law. Assemblyman Clarke's fight
for a five cent fare was made mainly to give
the residents of the Greenville section the
privileges enjoyed by the residents of the
! other sections Of the city. The Jersey City
and Bergen Railroad at that time compelled
~citizens to pay ten cents in order to ride be-
yond Myrtle avenue, the old boundary line
| between Greenville township and Jersey
| CITY. When the bill was introduced the
company said that if it passed It would not
run its cars beyond Myrtle avenue, but as 9
| company was already organized to run q
| stage line to Greenville, the company recon
| sidered the matter, and when the bill was
passed the company carried its passengers
to the Greenyille stables for the five cent
| fare.s

The woman sufIrage cause.

One of the stock remarks of the
modern woma suffrage cranks is that
the arguments in opposition are the
same old ones that have been adj
vanced ever since the idea was first
mooted. Certainly they are. Truth
and reason are the same at all times.
All that could be said against the I'M
sexing of women was said half a en-
tury ago, and people can only keep on
saying it over and over in forIus modi-
fed to suit each, new twist or wriggie
of the revolutionists who desire to
drag women into the field OF politics.
But it is only fair to retaliate on the
cranks by drawing attention to the
fact that they also keep on repeating
the same old fallacies and absurdities
with. which they advanced their
cause when first it attracted general
attention. Yesterday they had a
field day at Albany. They presented
their case to the New York State
Convention, and the Sun of this
morning gives them a page report. 1t
is wearisome r~eading-not for It's per-
version of good sense and sound moral
ideas, but for the very antiquity of its
material.
All the speeches boiled down seem
to come to point, that women de-
mand the suffrage as a right not as a
privilege. There are just two errors
in this condensed presentation of the
case:-First, women do not demand
it at all; second, they have
no right to it. If the
question were put to a vote of the
women of the State of New York,
they would reject the suffrage by a
vote probably of five to one. Only q
small and turbulent element really
demand it or trouble their heads
about it one way Or the other. As
for the right, the case is just this:
The right of suffrage is inherent only
in those citizens whose exercise of it
is beneficial to- the nation. Other
people, it is true. exercise it; but In
their case it is a mere privileges. It
cannot be claimed that its ignorant,
illogical or irrelevant exercise can be
for the general good, and asthe pres
emit state of fsfsmalelaedheation and
thought preciudesIts exercise in any
other way. women have no right
whatever to it, and to grant it tu
them as a privilege would be merely
to exaggerate all the unavoidable
evils of universal suffrage.

LABOR ANT ITS G q
Interesting Discussion by DIR. Stod-
dard,s Fortnightly Club.

dard,s Fortnightly Club.
Rev. Dr. E. S. Stoddard opened the de-
bate at the meeting of his Fortnightly Cos
mopolitan Club last evening. The. subject
for discussion was, "What Is Labor" AS
usual the debaters took for their authority
Mr.. Henry Georges book IN Progress and
Poverty" Speakers were allowed i've
minutes.
Mr.. Frank o. Cole spoke of the compari-
son between the labor of today and what 1t
was four or five centuries ago. He thor
oughly understood the question and gave
some very good points.
Mr.. Ford believes it is noble to labor:
wherever land is scarce you Will
find low wages, and wherever it is plentiful
you will find high wages. That law is sim
ply the natural law of labor. based on the
statement that all productiveness comes
from che and. If we want to increase
labor we must see that 1t is properly ad-
justed. Coal combines and landlordism are
the robbersiof labor, and | believe II we
taxed coal m~onopolists as they should be
taxed we would nave higher wages. The
present title deeds to land afford them too
much m~onopolistic power.
Mr.. Hossack was next called upon. He
said:-'Every man constitutes q demand
for, his own labor. A mans work now is
equal to about five times as much as it
was worth four or five centuries ago.
If the productive qualities of Nah are in
creased five times within that period. why
should not the value of mans labor increases
The mode of expressing labor is the pocket
book. I believe in the oyerturn of old land
titles that have descend dow to this
period
Mr.. Moley dropped the subject of labor
and took up his argument of the taxation Of
land up to Its full value. To Illustrate his
point he said:-sIfI go to the theatre and
pay for a seat. and another man comes in
and pays for a better seat, ne must also pay
a correspondingly higher price"
Among others who gave short addresses
were Messrs. Edlow Harrison, j. Gray, I. B.
Gaddis, George Flacke and Frank H. Cole.
The club finally decided that the distribu-
ton Of profits at the present day was not
equitable, that the individual is not as well
of as he ought to be, considering the adj
vance he has made; and that there is some
thing wrong in the relations of labor to
capital. 3
The subject for next meeting will be

A Bond is an obligation to pay money at
a certain Time. 1t is usually accompanied
by a mortgage on real estate, which is col
lateral security for the payment Of the
money mentioned in the bond. The pond is
the evidence of Indebtedness. A Mortgage
Trust Bond of The New Jersey Title Guar
antee and Trust Company is an obligation to
pay a sum of money to the holder with inter
est at the rate of five per cent. The Com
|, pany sells these bonds at par and accrued in
terest and invests the money derived from
their sale in first mortgages in Hudson
County, which it holds in trust for the bond
holders. The holder of a Mortgage Trust
Bond has therefore the same security, and
more besides, for the return of his money
that he would nave if he had the mortgage
in MS possession.

HoBOKEN's tax rate makes a sharp
advance from So 0 to So Q this year,
and there is much wonder and dis
satisfaction among the property own
ers of that city. The fact is. last
years rate was abnormally low. 1t
seems to have been made so by a mis-
application of the money secured
through the work of the Martin Act
Commissioners. Two hundred thou
sand dollars collected by the city
after the readjustnent appears to
have been used for purposes which
should have been provided for in the
tax levy.
or course, il was inevitable that
this should be followed by a jump in
the tax rate this year. The question
arises, besides. whether a serious
error was not made in the use OF
the adjusted taxes for any pur-
pose save the retirement OF loans C on
tracted on account of the tax levy or
assessments of the several years Gov
cred by the adjustment.
The declaration of the tax rate of
this year may lead to some searching
inquiries regarding last years fnan-
cial operations.
