Profitable One.
the Board of Freeholders yesterday took
a trip over the new County Road aud in
spected the work that has been done. Con-
siderable fault has been found with the slow
manner in which the work is progressing
and the committee were anxious to discover
where tho trouble existed n see If the work
of completing the road could not be pushed
more vigorously.
The Freeholders started from the northern
end of the county and drove over the entire
read. In the upper section the work OF
grading the road is almost completed. Frea-
holder Ellis wanted to know from CHIEF
Engineer Harrison when the work OF paving
would be begun and Mr.. Harrison replied
that they proposed commencing at once. In
the third section rapid progress is being
made by the contractors, Henry and Nc
Givney, and the telford pavement Is rapidly
assuming shape. It will soon be ready for
the top dressing of macadam.
The two first sections ara further advanced
than any of the others. The hudson County
Construction Company have a force of $50
men and so teams at work. They have a
large quarry near the Lehigh Valley Rail
road crossing where they quarry telford. A
large crusher is to. be erected at the quarry
for breaking stone to the SIZES wanted. The
greatest difficulty the contractors nave mad
20 contend with is the procuring of stone.
The wet weather has also Kept the WORK
back to- great extent.
In the northern end of the county O great
many poles are still standing In the middle
of the roadway and will lave to be removed
There are still several houses to be removed,
but this cannot be lone until the appeals
have been settled.
The Freeholders instructed Chief Engineer

as possible and the Chief was also informed
that hereafter he would be required to re-
port to the board every two weeks the
progress that was being made.

Republican battery.

The Lafayette Battery held q well at
tended meeting last evening at its head
quarters in the Lafayette House on johnson
avenue, and elected four now members. A
number of propositions were also received
and laid over until the next NESTING. The
committee which represents the club in th g
Republican Club pool and card tournament
reported the Battery won the pinochle
tourney, and the report was greeted with
cheers. A lively discussion WAS caused by
the motion that $500 Of the clubs funds be
set aside to form a nucleus for q building
fund. The motion was set aside as they
deemed it more advisable to postpone tho
starting of a building fund until the Battery
is Incorporated. A motion was thea passei
that the Board Of Governors be authorized
to incorporate the organization. Anothar
lively discussion was caused when an officer
proposed that the organization be incor-
porated as the Lafayette Republican Battery.
Objection was made to the word Republican
as the Battery has been known for more
than twelve years as simply che Lafayette
Battery. The republican, slenent won,

Is There a Lot OF Humbug in Our
Schools!

The humanitarian spirit" of the
age having driven all punishment out
of the schools seems now bent on abol-
ishing all censure. save what is of the
gentiest and softest kind. A teacher
may nc longer speak in a tone of
harshness or anger to a pupiI-espe-
ciaily not to a girl.-and hemay not by
any means use sarcastic or ironical
remarks calculated to wound the SEN
sibilities of budding womanhood.
A monster of the old school, Keyn-
ton by name, who is Principal OF the
Kearny Public School, brutally and
heartlessly told one gentle girl that
she ought to haves-a leather medal for
some performance. The sweet thing
promptly went into a fit of Mysteries,
and now her gentle ma wants Mr..
Keynton bounced from the position
which he disgraces by his cruel and
antique methods.
Dear goodness, it is W onderful what
sensitive plants the boys and girls of
lOady "a z1LQ ~ ~ ot1i4 411OAC WCAA
derful that those of bygone genera
tons we survived to adult age un-
der the awful treatment they were
subjected &c. When we consider that
the fathers and mothers who are
rearing children on the hot house,
kindergarten. physical culture and
other fancy scientific" plans used to
be scolded and rated roundly when
they were children, we wonder how
they ever lived to be fathers and
mothers at all, and it is still more
wonderful how our g~randfathers and
grandinothers got along in childhood
when calisthenics and cooking schools
were unknown and the Latin gram
mar and the catechism were taught
with liberal rattan demonstrations.
And yet these old people seem to
have enjoyed childhood as much as
the elegant little coxcombs of today.
And, when they grew up, they were
not bad men or women, either. They
have managed to leave US quite some
heritage of thought and feeling, and
historic evidence is lacking to show
that they were either broken spirited
or downtrodden on the one hand, or
coarse and wanting in moral sensibii-
ity on the other.
Can it be that we are INDUCING In a
fearful mou of humbug in our
modern educational fads, and that,
after all, the natural spontaneous in
stincts of bygone days were just as
good as the elaborate development of
eur modern professionalism

The North River Bridge.


Once again, a bill authorizing a
bridge across the North River has
passed the United States Senate. It
still needs the assent of the House of
Representatives to certain amend
ments before it can go TO the Presi-
dent; but there is little reason to
doubt that it will go through without
opposition. President Cleveland
vetoed a previous bill principally be-
cause it authorized the location of a
pier in the middle of the stream.
which, it was thought. might be an
obstruction to navigation. The pres
emit bill does not forbid the construc-
ton of such a pier, but it gives the
Secretary of Warpower to authorize or
forbid 1t according as mayseem proper
after thorough scientific enquiry. It
is believed that the President will
sign the bill in this shape and will
afterwards use his influence to pre-
vent the approval OF any plan involv-
ing the use of the centre pier.
We do not see that Jersey City has
much either to gain or lose by the
construction of this bridge. 1t will
be of vast advantage to New York. 1t
will be "a great facility to travel.
speaking generally, and some near by
parts of New Jersey, Union, Essex.
Passaic and Bergen Counties notab ly,
will be helped by it. BY facilitating
transit to the towns and villages of
these counties, it will build up their
population by bringing a great in
fiux Of the commuter class,
But we cannot see where j erseY
City is to come in. It will always re-
main, as a general proposition, easier
to reach this city via the ferries and
cars than in any other way. The
bridge may even do US some slight
temporary harm by aiding the over
flow Of New York to pass us by. On
the other hand, we cannot see that
this city viii be materially injured by
the bridge. Its Importance as a rail-
way centre will not be diminished.
That Importance does not depend
now upon the passenger traffic. The
passengers walk through our big
depots and board ferryboats for New
York. They bring us no business
even for our hotels. So, as the bridge
is to be chiefly for passenger traffic, 1t
will take nothing from US that we
cannot spare.
AS we view it, the future growth OF
Jersey City's population will not de-
pend on the Now York overflow to
the same extent that Brooklyn,
Staten Island and towns like Hacken-
sack and Englewood do. Look at
Brooklyn; there is very little reason

A Bond is an obligation to pay money e.

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 BONO is
the evidence of Indebtedness. AMortgags
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 q Mortgage Trust
Bond has therefore the same security, and
more besides, for the return of his money
that he would have if he had the mortgage
in MS possession.

MUCH SMOKE LITTLE FIRE

Fire broke out early this morning in the

TRENTON, June 6. 1891 New Jersey State
Military Board met yesterday afternoon to
consider the difficulties which have impeded
the construction of the new armory for the
Fourth Regiment In Jersey City. Governor
Werts, Generals Stryker, Plume and Dom
nelly, and Colonel Abernethy were present.
After the plans for the armory had been
adopted and the contract awarded to Joseph
Jewkes, the military men thought they would
prefer to have a stone rather than a brick
front, but. as no satisfactory arrangements
could be made with the contractor, NJ work
has been done on the building for two or
three months. The recent Legislature made
an additional appropriation for the work,
and arrangements were entered into be-
tween the Military Board and the contractor
yesterday to continue the work at once, the
contractor agreeing to keep within the total
appropriation of Sf66, 900.
