WHY

WHY are SO many persons
blind to their own interests?
A little thought will often save
great trouble.
WHY will women do so
many imprudent things and
then suffer when there is no
need of it?
AWHY will men become
careless and overdo when by
care they can avoid it?
WHY win people permit
headaches, lassitade, debility,
strange pains and broken health
when all can easily be escaped?
WHY, in fact, will men
and women suffer when they
can become healthy and pro-
long their lives by the use OF
w arner's Safe Cure?
WHY will people foolishly
experiment with inferior things
when this best known and only
reliable remedy is SO easily
within their reach?
WHY, when you know
these things, reader, do you
delay? There is no time like
the present.

IT is rumored that ~ex-Judge o A.
Blair has been invited to draft a bill for
the erection of a Greater Jersey City"
and that il will be introduced before the
close of the present session for the puT-
pose OF creating discussion and paving
the way for the earnest advancement of
the measure next year. The new NUM-
.cipality will embrace all the present terri
tory of Hudson County, and will annex
all the portion of Essex County be-
tween the Morris Canal and the Passaie
River, north of the line of the Morris
and Essex Railway, also all the portion
of Essex and Union Counties lying be-
tween the Newark and New York Rail-
road, the Newark and Elizabeth branch
as far as Elizabethport and Newark
Bay.
The idea is said to be enthusiastically
hailed by the people of Woodside, Bloom
field and the other villages north of New
ark. The mosquitoes on the meadows are
in a ~paroxysmal state of joy regarding
it. They are altogether tired of Newark
ers, who, they say. are too tough and dry
for any use. They hail with Joyous an
ticipations their annexation to the gener-
son.

The Greater Newark scheme.

Newark is altogether too modest. We
are really panied TO see how limited her
ambition is. The scheme for a Greater
Newark" outlined in the sunday Calf'
and reproduced in our news columns,
yesterday, is a poor and paitry thing
in comparison with what it might be.
The scheme contemplates a city having
for its boundaries the Hackensack River,
the Orange Mountains and the meadow
lands, which separate the present city
from Elizabeth. This is calculated to
afford a paltry population of 100000, a
total quite unworthy of Newark's idea
of its own Importance.
We suggest that the boundaries of the
ssGreater Newark should be the Hudson
on the east, the northern line of the
present city of Paterson on the north,
the Orange Mountains on the west and
Staten Island Sound, the Arthur Kill
and the Railway River on the south
and northwest. This would give a popu-
lation of between seven and eight hum
dred thousand and would make Newark
the fifth city in the country. while 1T
would not be spread out much thinner
than Chicago is.
If this does not content Newark, she
might annex the whole State, abolish the
Legislature and substitute her own Mayor
and Aldermen as the ruling body. New
ark should not sit down on herself too
hard. If she perseveres too far in self
denial, she will be in danger of shrink
ing from the map.
