It sounds paradoxical to say, that.
by becoming a debtor. you can save
money. And yet. 1t is true, if you
borrow money on the installment plan
from The New Jersey Title Guaran-
tee and Trust Company. The rea son
is, that the Company agrees to receive
any sum of money, over and above
your regular monthly payment on
your indebtedness. You would prob
ably bank this sum in your savings
bank, and get interest at the rate of
four per cent. per year. BY paying on
your debt when you can do SO, you
stop the interest on the sum paid ut
the rate of six per cent. per year--a

How foolish the man was to put
$50, 900 worth of bonds in his office
safe. His safe was burglarized and
the bonds disappeared. To be sure,
they were of no value to the burglars,
the bonds having been registered.
But why risk the inconvenience aris-

JERSEY CITY, ApfH II, Io54.
TO the Editor of The Jersey City Neses.-
Your editorial, ''The Arnold of Elmira,"
in last nights issue, to my mind should be
carefully read by every true democrat in
the country. Hill and his imitators are
alone responsible for the present demoralzed
condition of the Democratic party. Let us
zee them in their true colors. I trust you

A Vile SANDER ON Governor Werts.
The World this morning discusses
gravely the queer story that is abroad
about an alleged deal between Gov
ernor Werts and General Sewell, for
the present division of patronage, and
the qualification of their respective
ambitions in the near future. As the
story is told, Governor Werts is to
help General Sewell become United
States Senator, if the next Legislature
is Republican. and, between them,
they are to engineer the election OF a
Governor to succeed Werts, who will
appoint the present Governor to the
Supreme Court bench. the first
vacancy that occurs after the close OF
his term.
We do not believe this story. We
refuse to think that any democrat OF
the prominence Of George L. Werts
would make such a bargain with the
enemy. The post of United States
Senator is one which affects the well
fare of the whole country, and he
would be a bastard, indeed, who would
barter it away to the party OF trusts
and monopolies for any personal ad-
vantage to himself, however great.
We refuse to believe that George L.
Werts. the favorite of his party, called
To head it's cohorts by an irresistible
mandate, would be guilty of SO base
a betrayal.
The nomination of Colonel Ander-
son as State Pris on Supervisor is not
applicable to the outsider, in any easy
manner But it is not necessary to
assume that there is any corrupt deal
behind it. Doubtless the Governor
has some good and honorable motive,
which will be made clear in time. We
have confidence in him, and will not
abandon it in presence of anything
but absolute proof.
Meanwhile this story has been
started by the enemies of the Gov
ernor and of the Democratic party.
1t will be his duty to so steer his
course in the future as to prove its
falsity in every particular, SO that no
cloud may grow upon his W fair
fame, and no injury may accrue to
the party of which he is for the time
the head and leader.

ONE OF the most entertaining revela-
tions of the day is that of the quarrel
between Postmaster Samuel d. Dick
inson of Jersey City and General
William T.. Sewell. There is much
curiosity as to the cause of it, too.
Probably it is because the General
does not stand ready to supply his
erstwhile heller with a new job the
moment the present one passes over
to Postmaster Jordan. Colonel Dick
inson has lived for many years on
Sewelrs favor. He never would have
been anything in public life but for
his Camden backing. He has grown,
in long years. to regard that backing
as a matter of right, and he was
desperately offended when he was

The Assembly as a Campaign Club.
The Republican majority in the
present Legislature has no small
scruples OF propriety. We believe the
performance of celebrating the results
of the recent elections by the passage
of a set of partisan resolutions was
never before equalled for indecency
in any Legislative body, The Assem-
bly,, indeed, has ceased to be a body
representative of the people. 1t has
been turned into a Republican cam
paign club.
What we cannot understand is the
impotence Of the Democratic contin-
gent in the House. 1t seems to be
brainless and ~speechless. Partisan
bills are pushed through without sub
stantial opposition. Partisan resolu-
lions are placed upon the Journal
without exposure or controversy. The
minority sits helpless and inane I'M
der the lash of the INSCRIPTIONS and
blatant majority.
This state OF things results from the
d~ictation of nominations by bosses.
Bob Davis and Jim Smith do not
want men of brains and character,
men of understanding, force and
fuency of speech 20 occupy the Demo-
cratic seats in the Legislature. They
want weak, plant tools, who will
vote the way they are told. The re-
suit is that the party has only W
men in the Assembly who are capable
of making a Ave minutes speech, aud
they happen to be two of the most
disreputable men who ever sat in the
Legislature, Thompson and Flynn.
We must have earnest, honest and
able men nominated for the Assembly
this fall. in this county at least.

Found Particularly Interesting.
Tomorrow's Star will contain the first
installment Of a short serial story by How
ard Fielding, entitled "Old ELS Favori.e
Son." 1t is a college story. and treats Of
the prevailing athletic craze in a very orig
inal and unique manner. The satire is keen
inence of outdoor sports in college life just
now, the story will be Of general public in
terest. The plot hinges on the distressing
fact that the last member of the Bangs
family, who have always been famous ath-
letes. is a complete failure. and cannot do
anything but study. In order that the fame
Of the family name may be upheld, an ath-
letic double for young Bangs IL secured who
personates him in the athletic field. while
the real Bangs appears only in the class
room. The complications which result
give unlimited opportunity for clever de-
scription and humorous situations. The
story win be suitably illustrated.

To Connect the Two Branches.
A letter addressed to Mr. Tucker by Com
missioner Powell is included In the report
with estimates in detail. The letter is as
follows:
I'm compliance with your request, I in
close an estimate of cost for double-track
railroad connecting the Washington and
Ohio railroad by way of Ivy City on the
Metropolitan branches of the Baltimore and
location as shown in the blue print which
you handed me. and which Is returned
herewith. You will notice that the estimate
includes surface road from the Metropoli-
tan branch to T street, and a four-tra ok ed
masonry viaduct from Q street to Florida
avenue, and that the total footing of cost
Is $}09,2 The estimate was made by Mr.
C. b. Hunt, assistant engineer. I have
looked it over and find that it is reasonable
and fair, except that the right Of way be-
tween the two branches, / think, should be
fifty feet wide instead of thirty-three feet lat
the same price, this would add s25,757 to
the estimate making the total 1884. 976."
In conclusion the report states: I'm regard
to the business depression, the financial
stringency and the ability of the company
to comply with the provisions Of this bill at
the present time, will state that we are
informed that the company Is now building
a tunnel in Baltimore at a cost Of eight mill
lions of dollars; that the company recently
negotiated a loan of three millions for the
extension of it's lines in the south and west,
ard, according to a recent statement by the
president of the company, the stock Of the
Washington branch of the road Is paying
dividends at the rate of 10 per cent per an
mum and the common stock at the rate of
about per cent In view of the above facts
the statement Is justified that when the
company wants two millions of dollars for
the increase of its terminal facilities in
Washington there will be no difficulty In
procuring the desired amount
