to howage increases, we shall have all
the same old troubles to contend with
that drove about a thousand families
out Of Jersey City in the last twelve
months.
1t is idle to hope ven for a temporary
water supply this season. The city
officials do not seem inclined to do any
thing. In words they are all agreed;
but in fact they have no plan and
no purpose. Some of them will do moth
ing without seeing what somebody else
wants. Some seem to be afraid to ap-
prove what they feel is fair and just,
and some openly proclaim that they
want the earth and the moon and rather
think the city should be paid for ac-
cepting them.
We rather think it will take another
summer to bring them to the point OF
really doing anything. Meanwhile, per-
haps, the people will recognize that the
quickest way out of the trouble is to
elect a Democratic Legislature.

Chinchi is a dog, but she is none the

TO PHILADELPHIA BY WATER.
New Crib wharf for Fast Steamers
on the Delaware.

on the Delaware.
PHILADELPHIA, May IA, 1S95.-The
new wharf of the Kusers, opposite the
Hygeian Ice Company, is very near
completion. 1t will probably be finished
on Saturday next.
It is the first crib wharf built on the
Delaware river in several years and will
cost about $1,000 when completed. It
weighs about 1870 tons. Over ten tons of
iron bolts are used in it's construction.
The wharf is in the shape of a rectangle.
It's four sides are made of large logs,
dove-tailed together, with cross sections
of t.mbers about the size of telegraph
poles.
1t is thought to be able to stand the
ravages of the ice Of the worst ice fresh
cts. About half way up its height a floor
of heavy logs has been made md work
men were engaged yesterday in piling
1Q tons of stone upon this floor for the
purpose of anchoring tn wharf securely
to the ground. When the four sides are
built about ten feet higher the stones
will be covered with earth and the wharf
then be driven at its corners and 1t Will
be ready for the boat.
The BOAT to use this wharf is the
steamer Trenton. 1t is a new iron steam
boat and was built on purpose for the
trip she is to Make. She is fiat-bottomed
and of such light draft that she can pass
the bar at PerriWig at low tide. She is
said to be a very snug little boat. h
boat Columbia. with which she connects
at Bristol for Philadelphia, is one OF, the
fastest side wheelers on the river. These
two and the Twilight and John A. War
ner are the property of Upper Delaware
Steamboat Company, n which Golo mel
Philadelphia Stage Coach line, is largely
interested.
The schedule of this new Ene, WHICH
will begin operations next week, will be
published in all the papers within a few
days. The Trenton will leave her new
Lalor streets, bright and early in the
morning. The state of the tide will make
Ettle difference. to her. r. it is low she
wig. If it is high, she can take a
stra.ghtaway course She will sail to
Bristol and then transfer her cargo and
passengers to one of the three steamers

GOT THE BEST OF THE JUDGE.

Judge Hudspeth was initiated yester-
day into the mysteries of the new rams
fer system introduced in Jersey City
by the Consolidated Traction Company.
The initiation cost him 5 cents. The
new way does away with transfer
agents. Passengers desiring transfers
must demand them of the conductors
when they pay their fares. A notice to
this effect has been posted in all the
cars for some days past.
Judge Hudspeth didn't read the notice.
He got off a Greenville car this morning
and at the corner absentmindedly held
out his hand for a transfer ticket as he
has done nearly every morning for over
a year. He didn't get one. A polite
inspector explained the new system to
him. He was mad and declared that it
was a shame he had not been told
about it before. He didn't believe there
was a notice in the car he rode. on.
II don't mind paying double fare" he
said, in telling his experience to a
News reporter, but [ hin ] am
entitled to fair notice."

NEWARK GRUMBLIuG
Seven Years Delay in Provid-
ing a New Post Office
Money insufficient.
Special to the Jersey City Neacs.

NEWARK, May IA, 1S95.-The Board
OF Trade on Monday evening adopted
resolutions vigorously protesting against
the delay in the building of the new
Postoffice; calling upon Senator James
Smith. Jr., and Congressman r. Wayne
Parker to rye upon the proper authori-
ties at Washington the need of haste in
the matter. and asking Congress to pro-
vide the necessary mean of extending
the present building to the banks of the
cana on the north.
An Interesting report on the subject
was made by the board of and
was adopted. 1t reviewed the history of
the Newark Postoffice, and showed that
seven years nave passed since the first
appropriation was made for the new
Postoffice. On March l, 1888, Congress
appropriated $3.50, 600 for the purpose, and
on May 2. 1890. another act was passed
Increasing the cost of site and building
to $3.50. 900. Since the agitation for the
new building began seven members of
the Board of Trades committee on the
subject have died, namely, George H.
Halsey. T. b. Peddie. John H.. Ballantine
Colonel E.. L. Joy. Joh McGresor, s. S.
Sergeant and E. E. STAIRS. And still
the building is not finished.
INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT.
The total amount, says the report,
authorized to be expended for the work
$780, 600, is insufficient for a city stand
ing twelfth in the production of wealth
in the nation. OF this sum only $780,
600 has been appropriated, and up to
September 80 last only 331, 1884, 81 had been
years. less thar one-half of the amount
required for the completion of the Struc-
ture had been expended. For seven

DIR. BaraIt Talks About Culture to
The Odd Volumes.

The session room of the First P~resbyte-

last night with the friends of the mem
bers of the Odd Volumes Club.
Miss Nelson sang '4My Lady Sleeps,
and as an encore, Spring Voices. She
She received a large bunch of red and

ident of the Odd Volumes, welcomed the
members of sister clubs of Jersey City
and Bayonne, and introduced the speak
err, DIR. Luis Baralt. She said there had
been some indecision in choosing the
subject, as to which of two success
full subjects DR.. Baralt should be asked
to speak upon, Harmonious Culture"
or 1.-The Devil but Harmonious Gull
ture' had finally been selected.
DIR. Baralt complimented his audience
by saying it was one of the most culti-
waited and critical he had ever spoken to,
and he asked that if at any time he said
anything with which his hearers did
not agree. or did not make himself
clear that they should question him
When I started to write upon TINS
asked myself what was the great pur-
pose for which we had been put on this
earth, what are our lives for? And !
every side of our natures to the great
oet possible extent, and that IS what
Harmonious Culture is-the perfection of
nature"
Dr.. Baralt said IN examining the four
other philosophers: materialism sense-lsm
idealism and mysticism. It IS found that
the fundamental principle is harmony.
These philosophers are defective be.
cause they develop but one side of
nature. Matersalism says all is matter
and deals with matter alone; sense-ism
is of the senses and deals with SEN
sations; idealism and mysticism are
somewhat better than these. In a way
it IS full of earnest purposes: Harmoni-
cism ~cultsvates all parts of a nature:
it is in seven divisions and each one OF
these MI be cultivated. Harmonious
lectuaI culture, social culture. affection,
al culture, asthetical culture, ethical
culture and religious culture.
DR.. Baralt SHOWED how dependent zach
Of each. He said Americans need more
social culture. Our boys and girls need
more; our schools should teach It as
well as intellectual culture. He said re-
