OPPOSING THE BRIDGE WORK.

Vice Chancellor Emery had before him
this morning the case of Mary A. Lincks
against Alfred ]. Amen, T. Mccain,
Messrs. Henry H. Holmes and Thomas
Cogail, or in other words an application
to restrain the contractors on the new
bridge to cross the Hudson from dig
gang in her back yard. Mrs. Lincks

returnable this morning.
Counsellor s. Besson of Hoboken, for
the plaintiff. said that since the serving

Chancellor McGiH. the defendants a

lots were leased from the Hoboken
Land and Improvement Company, which
imposed restrictions as to nuisances of
all kinds, Mrs. Lincks, If she can help

to proceed.
Resuming, Mr.. Besson said that he had
fled his bill against the New York and
New Jersey Bridge Company, instead of
which 1t should have named as offenders

he asked leave to amend his bill to that
effect.
Counsellors James A. Gordon and

offered no objections to the amendment

JUMPING JIMMY LUBY.p
State Gazettess New Editors Courteou
and Convincing Argumenfs.

(From Saturdays State Gazette.)
To read the Wandering Willie edi-
torial in 1.-THE Jersey City News" of
Thursday, one who didn't know any
thing about the facts would get the
Impression that the pottery industry in
Trenton was about to get up On its hind
legs and leap. forward with new and
wonderful energy. We must confess
that there was a good deal of force In
the editorial; there is always force In
what Friend Luby writes. but he was
beating the wind with a feather.
If Jersey City has secured information
regarding the Trenton potteries in ad-
vance of us. we must bow to her enter
prise and say, simply, that We are very
glad, indeed, that the potter,es are going
to resume operations under a full head
of steam. We do not believe, however,
that the information Mr.. Luby says he
has IS true, and he should first assure
himself that he has not, been, misin-
formed before starting out on sucn q
jumping tour as he began last Tnursday.
The manufacturing. potters OF trenton
would probably admit If he knew them
better than he does, and there Is. no
good reason why he should score them
So numerically as he did In his news
paper. The fact is, dear Luby, the fres
trade principles Of the party of which
you are a small part are responsible
for the lack of business In the Trenton
potteries, and business will not be re-
yived there to the point at which IT
stood two years age until the he, "a a1ean

LAND TAXATION IN EGYPT.

A reform of the greatest importance
now In progress is the adjustment of in
CAPABILITIES in the inc tax, the present
scheme being full Of anomalies. 1t is not
unusual to find land rented at $50 and
$35 per acre paying only $3.50 in taxes.
In olden times there was no rule for its
collection, and the collector went pre-
pared to take from the farmer every Der
ny his crops had produced, and then fog
him into borrowing on mortgage any adj
ditional sum his rapacious master felt
in need of. There was no p%retense of
fairness, and not until Tewik's reign was
a receipt of any kind given the peasant
to show he had paid his taxes and that
no more was due for the current year.
Simple as it was, nothing was potent for
the alienation of the position of the mas
ses was everlnaugurated. 1t was a reform
that benefited every tiller Of the soil,
and was operative before the coming
of the English"
The scheme of taxation now in force
is arbitrary and inequitable. A definite
tax is specified for large tracts, which
some of the land only is capable of pay
ing. The work in HAND is to base this
schedule upon rental values. that each
acre may be assessed commensurately
with it's producing capacity. The country
is promised that the total tax-S23, 900. 600

REMUNERATION OF HACK WRITERS

Another difficult which confronts the
hack writer is the rate of pay and the
time of payment. Both these vary very
greatly In different establishments. The
Harpers pay more promptly than any
other publishers. for they pay cash for
all they buy and pay Immediately upon
acceptance. The ordinary Harper rate
for hack work is $40 for a thousand
words for the weekly" the Bazaar"
and Young People, and $40 for a thous-
and words for the magazine. AS the
Harpers buy more than any other firm
of publishers. they may be said to es-
tablish the rate of payment by the other
periodicals which rival theirs. But even
hack writers, for anything involving any
such work or expense, receive higher
rates than so and $40 a thousand words
from the Harpers. A short story of five
l~ength-will usually. bring $3.50 from the
Harpers, from the Scribners, or from
the Century" The Atlantic pays less
and so does "Lippincott's." The Cos

rate of payment, either for articles or Tor
fiction. The Harpers, as I have said,

u%tterances are set down to partisan de-
sign. When the people feel the yoke.
they are bound to recognize the truth.
In New York. the present cruel sit
uation Is the creation of a Republican
| Governor. a Republican Legislature, a
Republican Mayor. and a Republican
President of the Police Board. That the
latter two are animated by a strict de-
sire to enforce the law Is simply absurd.
The law of New York is just as strict
against the opening of other stores, and
on Sundays as it is against the liquor
traffic. Blu to stop some or all of these
things would cause inconvenience to the
class to which Mayor Strong and Mr..
Roosevelt belong. The closing of the sa-
looms gives these social grades no trouble.
for they have their clubs and private
wine cellars.
In this city we have a similar situation.
We have a Republican Legislature with
it's Voorhees, Bulldozing Committee. We
have a Republican Sheriff, a Republican
Grand Jury, a Republican Police Board,
and a Republican Chief. We are told, too,
that we will have a Republican Cover
nor with q train of Republican Judges
and prosecutors next year.
Perhaps we shall. Perhaps the people
will fasten the thrall of medieval puri-
tanism on their own necks. If they dc
they deserve the consequences.

RUN DOWN BY AROADH
Cyelist Frank Betz Thro wn
From His Wheel and Badly
Hurt-He May Die.

The local consuls of the League OF
American Wheelmen have at last an OPP
p~ortunity to teach the road hog a
lesson and at the came time establish
the right of the bicycssts to the same
privileges as are accorded the drivers of
other vehicles. On Saturday afternoon
Frank Betz, a wheelman residing at
No. "a Walker avenue, Greenville. was
run down by the driver OF a wagon and
injured SO badly hat his life hangs IN
the balance. Betz was riding between
the tracks on Ocean avenue, going to-
wards lower Jersey City. at a quarter
to six o'clock. Like all other expert
enced wheclmen who a occasion to
use Ocean avenue, Betz chose the pave
ment between the tracks because 1t is
so far superior to the other portions of
the thoroughfare, it being at least level.
He was travelling at the USUAL rate OF
speed when George Naylor, of No. 1o5
Danforth avenue. employed by plumber
James Dodds, came driving a horse and
wagon in a1e opposite direction. Naylor
was on the east side of the street when
he should have been on the west side.
AS he approached Betz ne mad a sharp
turn and attempted to cross over the
tracks to the other side. The wagon
collided with, the wheelman, who was
thrown heavily to the ground. The shaft
struck him in the chest breaking several
ribs. Betz was taken to the Fifth pre-
cinct station house and DR.. Limeburner
was hastily summoned. The doctor,

was placed under arrest. He said that
he was unable to prevent the accident,
