e E SMITH STANDS.

From the HeigarG EUeafag Ne'Us of Saturday.
Senator Smith took occasion yesterday to
record again his mistaken faith in the doc
trine of McKinleyism. There is something
in Mr.. Smiths temerity which excites adj
miration. While most of the other high
tariff democrats in he Senate shift and
dodge Mr.. Smith stands his ground, and
with one swing of his foot kicks tariff reform
out of the back window. With the same
bold defiance he lifts his voice and shouts
that President Cleveland is a marplot and a
medd3ef.
The deliberate care with which Mr.. Smiths
tariff speeches are written gives no room for
the suspicion that there is any danger of q
somersault in the Senator's progress as a
leader of the protection party. New Jerseys
Junior Senator takes no tariff reform i'll bis.
McKinleylsm. with plenty of protection for
the big trusts and a heap of taffy for the
working classes. constitute his economic
stock in the trade.
1t will excite the sympathy of Mr.. Smiths
Republican friends to catch again the mourn
full note which pervaded his high tariff ut
t~erances on the floor of the Senate yester-
day: the note which sounds in sobbing
cadences the shock which his principle re-
ceiyed when he voted AYE" on the adoption
of the income tax rider to the Senate's high
Tariff bill, What Mr.. Smiths Democratic
constituency may think of Mr.. Smiths
arguments in exclamation of his abandon
ment of tariff reform for high tariff is a
metaphysical problem that may never be
solved. But when the Essex county Deinoc-
racy again gets together. and formulates
resolutions demanding that the Wilson bill
be passed in its entirety it might also be an
act of courtesy, as well as of consideration,
to adopt a rider expressing sympathy with
Mr.. Smith upon the altogether mixed up

COTTON INDUSTRY IN MAINE.

AUGUSTA, Me-, July 90, 1s94-From
statistics collected by S. W. Matthews, State
Statistics, it is seen that the condition of the
cotton indnstay of Maine, July 1, showed
a general cut in wages, only two mills re-
porting the old rate. Eleven per cent. was
the average reduction in working hours, and
the reduction in working force, nine per
cent. Pay rolls show a reduction in gross
earnings of thirty per cent. Returns re-
oeived from fortv-two wooden mills show
that eight mills were idle July l, throwing
1,391 out of employment; thirteen other mills
were running shorthanded, and of the whole
working force, thirty-eight per cent. are now
idle. Tn loss in the earning of employees in
the wooden industry in Maine averages forty
three per cent.

The Great Water Problem.


The recent remark of Chemist
Phillips of the Street and Water
Board, that the water supplied to Jer-
sey City from the Passaic is much bet-
ter this summer than it has been for
some time before, is one of those state
ments which must be taken on faith
Ia large amount of faith. The ma
jority of people, however, lack the
gift of believing and trust their senses
These accept the evidences of taste and
smell that the water is vile. 1t is al
abomination not only for drinking
purposes, but even TO wash in. Never
before in the history of this city has
its odor been SO horrible.
But whether Mr.. Phillips may have
succeeded in ~persuading people to
take him seriously or not, ass uredly
the present condition of the water
has done much to stir up renewed in
terest in the question of e supply.
Everyone is talking OF the need of it,
and there is much anxiety as to
whether the new Street and Water
Board will take the matter up.
In view of this renewed public in
terest THE JERSEY City News has
prepared a sketch of the efforts which
have been made to secure pure and
wholesome water for this city from
1880 when the people, first began to
complain of their inadequate and I'M
wholesome supply, down to the present
day. The first article on the subject
appears in today's issuein order thaUit
may be seen what sources and water
sheds are now available. Subsequent
articles will include a synopsis of all
the propositions to furnish a new
supply which have been made to
Jersey City during the past twenty
wears.

CANAL ACROSS THE STATE,
philadelphia is Ambitious to Find 4
Harbor at the Sea Front.
SlecinI 10 the .IelScu Citu NenrS.

E
TRENTON. July %, 1894. Philadelphia's
ambition to reach the sea front renews the
agitation of former years for the building of
a ship canal across the south section of New
Jersey. Two points are to be considered in
connection with the enterprise. First of
these is that the hafbor shall be such that
the tide movements will keep the estuary
clear. and the second that the route shall be
as level as possible. Elevations mean locks,
and locks mean not only expense for con
struction, bit delay in the movements of
vessels. Barnegat Bay aud Great Bay, at
the mouth of the Muilica, are regarded as
safe and available barbors. through Camden
and Absien to Great Bay: the other is along
the Rancocas to Hanover and thence to
Toms River and Barnegat Bay. In both are
watersheds. The highest point on the 14b-
sion route would be ninety feet; that IN the
Hanover route would be 100 to $50 feet. The
Absion route has the other advantage Of
being only about ifty-rour miles long, while
the other would be ifty-nine miles long.
But the Barnegat Bay harbor is thirty-fye
miles closer to New York. and that is noted
as in its favor, in spite of the longer route
that must be followed and the sleeper eleva-
tions that must be climbed to reach it.

ever, that there was no truth in the state

SCORES AT MARION
Little Interest in the Team

vidual Scores.

The Fourth Regiment range at Marion ex-
perlenced another busy day on Saturday.
Although the sun was doing its best to make
dured the ~fatiguing journey over the hot
sands to the range, but they were rewarded
by finding the conditions excellent for rife
practice. A steady breeze was blowing from
the south, and the marksmen peppered the
targets for high scores until the heavy
shower at five o'clock forced the MARKERS to
beat a hasty retreat. The shower prac-
tically put a stop to the shooting for the
rain washed off the pastors. The B target
was the only one which was used
after the shower. As usual, Company A fur
nished the greatest number of marksmen.
Company E was on its way from camp, and
Company B was waiting at the ferry to es-
cort it to the Armory. But the absence of
these companies was not noticeable. Com
pany AS men and the few marksmen from
the other companies did not allow the tar
gets to remain idle.
One week from today the regiment will
leave for Sea Girt to indulge in the annual
rife practice. Few, if any, of the marks
men have praeticed at the 300-yard target,
and on next Saturday Captain Springsted,
Inspector of Rifle Practice, will endeavor to
give them an opportunity to do SO. Captain
S%pringsted proposes to close the house in
which the marksmen. stand when
shooting at four o'clock, and
allow those members qualifying at 200
yards to take a position one hundred yards
further back and fire at the targets. AS the
300-yard range will be the stumbling block
to the marksmen at Sea Girt, Captain
S~prlngsted's plan will be heartily endorsed.
Only two of the teams scheduled to shoot
Saturday put in an appearance. Company
F had only three marksmen present. and the
company missed an excellent opportunity to
beat the high score. Each one of the three
men put up an excellent score, and if two
more members had put in an appearance a
big score would nave undoubtedly been
made.

Hoboken and dine county Faxes

Hoboken and the County Taxes.
We expect to find our contem-
poraries in Hoboken in a perfect
frenzy this afternoon over the action
of the County Board of Equalization
in adding ten per cent. to the valu-
alton set upon the property OF that
city by Mr.. Assessor Dollard. The
city has become SO accustomed to
Sinking its share of the county ex-
penses that it lis wildly intolerant OF
any effort to make it pay up. 1t has
been INDUCED and %pampered for
years to the injury OF Jersey City, and
it has at last come to regard exemption
as an inalienable right.
The present Board of Equaliza-
ton, however, appears to be OF a
more robust temper than its prede-
cessors. 1t has determined to stop
some of the injustice that has pre-
vailed, and as a first step it has
brought up the Hoboken valuation
to something nearer the Jersey City
ratio than it has ever before been.
Careful inquiry shows that the en-
tire taxable real estate of Jersey City
is assessed at about 10 per cent. OF
its value. That of Hoboken is as
sessed at about so per cent. The per-
sonalty of Jersey City is %preposter-
ously undervalued; but that OF Ho-
boken is practically not valued at all.
Take both descriptions of taxable
value, and it is not too much to say
that the total valuation of Jersey
City is % per cent. nearer the real
value of the property represented
than that of Hoboken.
The Hoboken Observer in an article
published on the 9TH inst. set up the
p~retence that Jersey City property
was assessed above it's market
value. The vapid stupidity of a claim
like this hardly needs demonstration.
The records of the two boards of APP
peals and the courts prove the con-
trary. Indeed nc sane person ven
lures to dispute the assertion made
above that real estate here is taxed at
about seventy per cent. of its true
value. while real and personal prop
erty averaged do not reach sixty per
cent. The Observer also has some
thing to say about the small return
Hoboken gets for its money. This
also is n~onsensicai. Hoboken gets it's
full share out of all the public insti-
buttons and more. 1t has its full
share of benefit from the County Road.
1t is just as much benefited by it, for
instance us lower Jersey City-more
indeed for the Weehawken branch is
mainly beneficial to it.
Let Hoboken manage her own in
ternal taxes on any basis she chooses.
Let her value property as low as she
likes and force up her rate; but where
other communities rights are in
VOWED, the nonsense must cease. Her
people must pay the way. The courts,
if any appeal be made to them, will
beyond all doubt uphold the action
of the County Board.
