The Water Bills Death.

The personal attacks upon Mr.. Leb-
beus B. Ward in connection with the
water bill are wholly gratuitous and
equally unjustifiable. Mr.. Ward is a
high-minded gentleman who is doing
what he conceives to be his duty to the
State and its people at considerable per-
sonal sacrifice. If he is wrong in his
ideas he is certainly honest and straight
forward both in his urposes and his
methods. The chief objection to his plan
enough in our Legislatures to give it a
trial. Like Mayor Wanser, we believe
in a State Water Supply as an abstract
proposition. We freely say we regard its
realization as chimerical, and we are
utterly opposed to the city waiting for
relief in the chimerical hope of legisla-
ton providing for it. On the contrary.
we regard it as a demonstrated impos-
sibllity SO far as any present or near
future purposes go. Yesterdays action
simply confirmed what we have said over
and over again since the election in No
vember determined the complexion of the
Legislature. 1t is now the city's plain
duty and interest to go ahead and make
the best terms it can with those who have
water to sell. There should be no more
toying or fooling with the question. 1t
is vital to the city, Disaster is the cer-
tain result Of further postponement.
But, we repeat. attacks such as that
made by Mr.. Olcott Yesterday are wholly
improper. Firstly, they are false, and
secondly they are indiscreet, doing far
more harm than good to the cause in
whose interest they are made.

ONE OF NEW JERSEYS GOVERNORS

An article in one of the New York
dailies of a late date, in abiding to the
decease of Ex-Governor Albeit, of New
Jersey, states that Ex-Governor Ludlow
and Green are the only surviving ex-
governors of that State. This is a mis-
take. One of the past executives of New
Jersey lives in Olympia, who is as we'll
an Ex-Governor of this State(then Terri
tory of Washington. We alfude to Gov
ernon w. A. Newell who was chosen ex-
eeutive of New Jersey thirty five years
ago, over William c Alexander, of Prince
ton, long since deceased. Governor New
ell was a candidate for the same Office
in 1877, having for his opponent no less
a distinguished soldier and statesman
than George B. Mcclellan, and was de-
feated by a majority Of a few thousand
in a total vote of 163, coo. He is o en-
gagged in the practice of his profession of
physician, and is still in robust health,
the heritage of a respect for and adher-
ence to the primary laws of life and
health. 1t is related that when elected
to the chief office of the State of New
Jersey, two days preceding the date of
Inauguration, a heavy snow storm pre-
vailed, and his habitation was cut Off
from all means of communication with
the capital, Trenton. He made his way

Chancellor McGill, this morning, APP

ance Company. Last Monday a motion
was made in Chancery Chambers for
such an appointment, and a large num-
Der of stockholders and creditors, repre-

objected to the appointment of Mr..
Charles b. Thurston, who has been act
ing as temporary receiver. Their OBJ
lection to Mr.. Thurston was based on
the fact that he. being President of the
mpa is too much interested.
Chancellor McGin decided that an out
side man must be appointed, and be-
cause of the fact that the company has
at present suits against it in almost
every State of the Union, and much de-
ponds ON the manner in which these
suits are conducted, His Honor concluded
that a lawyer should be the man. For
these reasons he has selected ex-Judge
Stevens, one of the ablest men at the
New Jersey bar today. His bonds are
placed at $4,000.

PROTECTED COAL PRICES.

NEW YORK. March T., 1s95.-The meeting
of the Ohio Coal Traffic Association, which
was adjourned over last night, was resumed
this morning in the Jersey Central Building.
]. M. Ferris. General Manager of the Toledo
and Ohio Central Railroad, presided. All of
the interested bituminous coal companies were
represented at the meeting.
The. meeting began at 10 o'clock. 1t was a
secret session and no reporters were admitted.
Chairman Ferris said this morning that he
expected the business would be finished today.
The object of the meeting is for the settle
ment of the differential question of rates with
the Ppttsburg Association of Bituminous Opera
tors. Some of the Pittsburg coal operators
have not. it is said. stood by the established
rate of wages for miners and have cut down
the scale, thereby giving themselves an oppor-
tunity to shade the market price OF coal.
The transportation rates to Lake Erie, When
navigation begins to open up, will all be dis
cussed at today's meeting. The price will be
advanced, it is thought, from twenty-five to
matters connected with the bituminous coal
traffic will also come up for discussion.

When dropping health and spirits go
amiss?
How tasteless, then, whatever can be
given;
Health is the vital principle of bliss.
Weak, tired-out men and women with
nerves ~"unstrung' and badly nourished,
need Paine's celery compound. They are
especially urged to take it during these
early spring days of March and April,
when the body is most susceptible to it's
strengthening influence.
OF the thousands OF men and women
with brains and hands all day actively
engaged, but whose physical powers are
little used, who imagine themselves
more dangerously sick than they are,
the vast majority are merely reduced
in strength and spirits, and need moth
ing but a vigorous tonic in the spring
to ~recuperate their tired nerves. They
need nothing so much as Paine's celery
compound. 1t exactly fills their need.
The inirmities peculiar to the aged
come from stagnating blood and the
tardy, scanty production of nerve force.
They should take Paine's celery COM
p~ound-there is no time so favorable as
March.
The rheumatism, neuralgia, sleepless-
ness and lack of strength that Paine's
celery compound so rapidly dispels are
thus found to be mere temporary con-
ditions to which their time of life is
liable, and the cause of needless anxiety.
Needless If they fully perceive the
meaning of these infrmities and take
pains. at once to correct the beginnings
of weakness and debility, as it is so easy
to do now N the spring.
Paine's celery compound is the great
spring medicine. 1t is prescribed by
countless physicians in cases Of rheu-
matism, neuralgia, sleeplessness and
the many other results of starved nerves
and depleted blood. In every drug store
in the country, Paine's celery compound
is always to be obtained.
1t is the worlds great remedy for
weakness. Its use year by year through

tells something of the good it must be
accomplishing. If men and women who
feel the effects of too close application
to work would use Paine's celery COM
pound, there would be less insomnia,
less pain in the back of the neck, fewer
days of utter physical exhaustion and in
capacity for anything but suffering. Its
extensive use. today is the cause of a vast
alienation of human misery and despair.
It's presence in the world is a blessing.

MIR. Usher,s Speech ON Railway
Taxation.

The speech of Asse1nblyman James
Usher on the Equal Taxation Din. de-
livered at Trenton. yesterday. was al
together the ablest effort made in the
Legislature this year. 1t places Mr.
Usher in the front rank of representa-
t.yes of the people of the State. 1t dis
plays Information. study and strong pow
ers OF ANALYSIS. 1t places some OF the
phases of the question in altogether new
light. The manner in which he deals
with the relations between the city debt
and the withdrawal of property from the
tax -ievy is most mastery.
The speech as a whole carries COM
plete conviction. It is a last word on the
subject. If one doubted the moral Ia
bflity of the railroad companies before
reading it, it is impossible to do SO after
Every A~ssemblyman who listened to 1t
and then voted adversely TO the views it
embodied. confessed before all men that
he was the tool of the corporations n
was guided fn his actions as a legislator
not by reason or public policy but by the
will of his bosses.
Mr.. Usher's speech is reported in full in
our columns. It shows that while the
railroads own IS per cent. in value-at
the lowest computation-of all the real
estate in Jersev City. they only contri-
butte about s225. coo to the city's expenses.
whsle the remaining property pays ST.
900 GOO. He showed that when the public
deb. was contracted from time to time
it was secured or all the real estate of
the city and that property shared the
burden of paying interest on 1t. Year
after year. more and more of that prop
er4y IS withdrawn by the railroads from
the tax levy and the burden of the inter-
est is heaped Ill more and more on
remains in the hands of private owners.
He might rave added that the railroads
were equal sharers in all the improve
ments procured with the money bor-
rowed. The pavement of streets. devel-
oement OF the police and fire depart
meats. extension of sewerage and water
lines all benefit the railroads as much
as private owners. and there is no good
reason why they should not pay their
fair share of the cost.
We congratulate Mr.. Usher most heart
lily on his speech. In this instance at
least he has shown himself to be a ster-
Inns Democrat and an honest represent
tative of an oppressed constituency.
