EX-PoStmaster General Wanamakcr
has Just returned from Europe and says
there is much anxiety in Europe over
the final outcome of the Wilson bill.
The manufacturers approve the Wilson
bill, rs it will reduce import duties, but
the present situation disturbs European
trade as much a. it does our own.
Among those who are not directly in
terested, but who have followed the
course of the Democratic party in the
United States, there is feeling of great
disappointment. Land owners, students
and economists wonder why the party
has delayed the passage of Il bill for
revenue only, when the party was
pledged to support such measure.
Manufacturers are loath to sell at this
particular time. They were very much
disappointed when they saw that the
bill could not be passed before the fall
trade sets in. Thus is the legislation of
our Democratic Congress confidently eX-
pected by European manufacturers to
help them to the detrimeut of our own
industries.

THAT ERIE GRAB.
Street and Water Commissioners Will
Have the Fence Moved.

When the Erie Track Elevation Society
forced the Erie Railroad Company to erect
a fence along its tracks to prevent the
wholesale Strengthening of pedestrians, it is
not probable hat any member had an idea
that he was aiding the company to steal an
important street. When the fences on each
side of the tracks were erected, the Eleva-
ton Society held a jollification meeting, and
pointed with pride to the victory won, and
characterized it as the stepping stone
to the elevation of the tracks.
Now, one of the most active members of
that society brings to the notice of the Street
and Water Board the fact hat the fence On
the south side of the street, between Hender-
son and Provost streets, is not only erected
on city property, but that Is feet of it is
fenced in, actually grabbed" Engineer
Ruggles made a survey of the street before
action was taken, and he reported that the
company was enjoying the use OF Is feet of
the city's property. Commissioner Dugan at
once proposed compelling the company to re-
move the fence and erect it upon its own
property.
One or two of the members of the board
thought the Erie Elevation Society would
take offense at such action, but when as
sured that it would not, it was decided to
proceed against the company. The adoption
of the resolution by the board yesterday,
giving the company ten days in which to
move the fence off the city's property, was
the result. Said Commissioner Somers this
morning.
seThe Erie Railroad Company is now and
for a number of years has been occupying
about ten feet of the sidewalk, where it oper-
ates a freight station, near Grove street.
Several efforts AVE been made to have that
sidewalk cleared, but to no avail.
This latest dodge, however, is too
much. How long do you suppose it
would be if we allowed that company to en-
joy the free use of fifteen feet Of Ninth
street before tracks would be laid on the
property. The fence was erected presum-
ably to comply with a request of property
owners up in chat section of the city. But
fifteen feet of valuable land, which, if ac-
quired by merely being fenced in, would be
a profitable investment.
~ intend seeing to it personally that our
resolution is enforced if the company fails to
comply with it. Mr.. Dugan, who is Chair
man of the Committee on Streets, having
this matter in charge will. 1 am sure, leave
no stone unturned until that fence is re-
moned from city property. I may be doing
the company an injustice in saying that per-
haps a grab was contemplated, but it was a
peculiar move. Possession is nine points of
the law, and the city wants to hold on to
all its valuable property"
Commissions Dugan is just as determined
as Mr.. Somers to have the fence removed
and placed on the c%ompany's property.

PALIsADE OoMPANYs GRAND BALL
An Interesting Entertainments Pre-
ceded the Dancing.


Palisade Company, No. 5, Schuetzen Bund,
of Jersey City Heights, held their grand
annual masquerade ball last night at Kess-
ler's Hall. During the evening a short en-
t~ertainment, consisting of several tableaux
was presented, which amused the audience
very much. The tableaux opened with a
number of ladies and gentlemen dancing
the can-can upon the stage, and Mr.. Prusser
stopped them and asked the ladies where
they were going. They said they were going
to the Palisades Masquerade Ball.
"Let US see if you can dance" asked Mr..
Prusser,
The ladies Mrs. Prusser, Mrs. Bulge, Mrs.
Tietgen, the Misses B~ruggemann, Miss Brill,
T~rietschlel9 then danced several pretty
Spanish dances, whereupon Mr.. Prusser
said they did very well and could go.
They then told him they would not go I'M
less they could nave Prince Carnival. He said
they should have one, but before they
by Mitchell (Mr. Schaffer). They went at
one another in grand style, but
Mitchell was killed by Corbett. The
dead man was taken away in a
wheelbarrow. Mr.. Prosser then had the
Prince Carnival brought on the stage. He
was a small boy, and came in a small wagon
drawn by three bears. The ladies said he
was too small and wanted a larger Prince,
so the baby boy Prince was taken back and
a full-sized one brought OF. A picture of
the group was then taken, and Mitchell,
reslrrected, appeared one more upon the
scene. This time Corbett killed him for GER
tain, and he was put in a -four barrel and
rolled around the stage until the curtain was
dropped.
The hall was handsomely decorated.
Among those present were:-Mr. and Mrs.
C. Kruger, Mr.. and Mrs. Bulge, Mr.. and
Mrs. Wesp, Mr.. and Mrs. G~rabedunkel, Mr..
and Mrs. Luhr, Mr.. and Mrs. Bruggemann,
