HERE'S A PRETTY SCHEME
allesed Democrats Plotting to Elect
rhe Republican Candidate.

NEWARK, August 20, 1S95.ETyler Parm-
ly and Edward W. Whitehead, two of the
most brilliant lights in the so-called RE
form Democracy of Essex, went up to the
Farmers picnic the other day. and while
there they had a long talk with ex Congress
man Cutler, the farmer candidate for the
Democratic gu~bernatorial nomination.
Mr.. Parmly and Mr.. Whitehead told Mr..
Cutler, it is said, of the plan of the Reform
Democrats to draw up and circulate a petit
tion to the Democratic State Convention for
bis nomination. Mr.. Cutler thought it was
q good thing and gave it his sanction.
Tention was made of the design OF the
o1lginators Of the scheme to turn the petit
I'm. if the convention unheeded it, into one
Ior nomination of Mr.. Cutler on an indie
nendent Democratic ticket. The Reform
| Democrats believe they can easily get many
! more than the 600 necessary signatures, and
That too, for an independent nomination.
With their petition drawn and the necessary
number of signatures attached, they could
f,1rn it in at once in case of the failure OF
| the regular Democracy to fab in with their
wishes.

questions


In our news columns today We print an
extract from the Bridgeport, Comm
4Daily Standard showing the trouble
that city is in over it's water supply
The difficulty all comes from adopting a
stream subject to pollution as a source
of supply.
The Tait's Mill River is just such a
stream as the Rockaway, only smaller.
bridgeport has been in the habit OF
drawing from five to six million gallons
of water a day from it. 1t is, natur-
ally, excellent water-pure and Lmpid
and fresh from the hills. But the banks
of the stream afford a convenient To-
cation for mills and factories, and the
water is now so injurious to heaIth
that the Connecticut State chemist has
compelled the cessation OF its use. For
4 taunately it is not B~ridgeport's only
source of supply. so her people are not
forced to an alternative between poison
and drought. The other sources are
insufficient. however. and her situation
is serious.
TIL condition which exists with Bridge
port is just what might come upo US
at any time. if we adopted the Rocka-
way River as our source of supply. 1t
is unnecessary to explain the analogy
In detail. The details will occur to
every one. Jersey cityfs case would be
incomparably worse in this particular,
that the Rockaway would be our only
reliance for water and we would have
no means of escape from the disease
breeding poison poured into it.
1t has already been pointed out that
the building of in~tercepting Sewers for
such places as Boonton is a risky ex-
pertinent. The cases of Paterson,
Passaic. Orangesand other towns show
that we cannot GEORGE any other munich
patty in respect to its drainage arrange
ments. Even if they viii consent to
adopt such system al we may demand
we charge ourselves with the expense
of construction, extension and main
tenance for all time. We may be con-
tracing to bankrupt ourselves, for all
we can now tell.
But even assuming that we could care
for the sewage of half a dozen towns
and villages without overburdening our
taxpayers, what are we TO do with the
mills and factories. We cannot build a
sewer for every one who chooses to
start a mill on the river bank. We can
not buy UP the entire shores of the
stream Are we to embark in the
gambling operation of buying out, one
by one, every mill tha may be started
along our line of supply It will cost us
a pretty penny if we do. Bridgeport
cannot buy Tait's mills except at an
exorbitant price. Can we do any better2
Are we not just putting a premium on
b~lackmafl? What is to prevent n I'M
s~crupulous schemer from buying a hum
dred feet of .Rockaway water front and
opening a bone boiling, manure making,
oil rendering or chemical manufacture
ing plant just to compel us to buy him
off?
The Rockaway River scheme is one
OF business insanity in its most limo
cent aspect. What it really amounts to
is positive crime.

he REBUKED AN EMPEROR.
Why Dr.. Dryander Refused to Be-
come Court Preacher.

DIR. Ernest Dryander,s perhaps the
greatest of German preachers, was form
ally a tutor of the present Emperor,
while the latter was a student at the
University of Bonn. The regard which
he old Kaiser and the Emperor Fred
erick then the Crown Prince had for
the Bonn tutor was profound, and led to
a tie of friendship which has been, as
many ~observant Germans think, the in
significant cause of a most significant
influence, extending far beyond the linn
it's of Berlin and Prussiaa, throughout
all. North Germany. The story is that
after the departure of Prince William
(now the Emperor William I'D from Bonn
it was the wish of the old Kaiser of his
son that DIR. Dryander shout be called
to Berlin as one of the four Hofpre-
digger, Oh Court preachers. A vacancy
was then imminent in the resignation OF
DR.. Stoecker, the anti-Semitic agitator.
The Emperor, therefore, invited Dry
ander to fill the vacancy. The later,
however, while expressing his. apprecia-
ton of the ono lone him, and renewing
his affectionate loyalty to the Imperial
house, declined the office. He was then

aJournai., Lie. About water.

The journal printed a long review
of the water struggle yesterday, which
makes us ashamed of the newspaper
business. The shameless falsehood dis
played in thai supreme effort of dis
honesty is the sort of journalism that
j~ustifies the attacks which are SO often
made on the newspapers. The asser-
tions and suggestions are so palpably
false and dishonest that the man who
wrote them, the editor who sanctioned
them and the man who published them
must have all known that they were
false and dishonest, and every reader of
ordinary memory and intelligence knew
IT, as we'll.
We select a few samples from this
precious production for COMMENT
IT does insist that the Street and Water
Board should not have ignored a DID
offered by another ~esponsiele company
which showed a saving OF TWO HiIliaon

The Street and Water Board did not
ignore any bid. On Investigation it
found the Rockaway and Hudson one
unworthy of serious consideration as a
possible recipient of the award.

pany is assumed, not proved. Nobody

OONROY HELD FOR THE GRAND
JURY.

Chanceman John Conroy, Of the Fourth
Precinct, was given a final hearing yes
terday before Justice Potts on the charge
of having stolen $50 from John Finnegan in
Cooks saloon, at Montgomery and Hender-
son streets, a week ago. Conroy denied the
charge and declared that Finnegan loaned
him 50, and a few minutes later accused him
of stealing the $40. He offered to let any
one search him at the Time, but Finnegan
insisted upon his arrest.
Several men testi6ed that the complainant
and his companion were fighting drunk, and
frequently that they could
whip all the Jersey policemen in town.

DR.. ENGLIsH'S LATEST.

He Writes a Song Which He Says is
American Throughout.
A folk song, sOld Glory, has been COM
posed by Doctor Thomas Dunn English, of
Newark. Doctor English has long been de
string to put forth a song which to his idea
would be all American, American words and
American ali, composed by an American i,
and put to music by an American. His idea
of a folk song, he says, was that it should
nave considerable snap to it because the
American people were quick to act in every
thing, and he made up his mind to write
such a song, ''Old Glory" being the result.
The music was written by Deputy County
Clerk Philip A, Clifford, of Newark, and the
song was playedsfor the first time by Organ
ist G. F. Smith, of the Peddie Church. The
song consists of four ~stanzas, two of which
follow:
Though changes may the world appali,
Our banner shall survive them all
And ever live in story.
The rainbow of a rescued land,
Where freemen brave to ether stand,
With truth and courage hand in hand.
Floats proudly here Old Glory.

or untrue. The Rockaway and Hudson
bank for all we know, or it may have
Vanderbilt or Aston or Rockefeller or Lii
Hung Chang behind it.
But it has never taken the city into
its confidence.
Has it the money?
Who is it's hacker?
Can it prove its financial responsible
ity?
1t is true it has put up its forfeit, but
the city is not in a lottery gamble 10
win 800, 900 which some gentlemen are
ready to bet on their ability to raise
six millions.
h city wants a water supply.
Has the Roekaway and Hudson the
money to give us one? Can it here and
now prove that it has the cash behind
it to carry out the contract?
We suggest that the Board of Finance
look into this.
The public are entitled to know.
But to resume. as Mulvaney says:-
The Street and Water Board has given
| no reason for neglecting the proposition
of the lowest bidder.
This is simply an impudent lie-so
patent as to be unworthy of contradic-
ton.
Instead it adopted a lot of peuriie
trash, evidently prepare by some OUT
slider.
The outsider. we are informed, was
Corporation Attorney Spencer Weart.
The style of the document was assuredly
| his.
The water of the Passaic river is
Inadequate. The statement that the he
mains will carry no more than 22,00o,V.o
gallons daily has been made, and i is
also stated tina the city uses from
| 5000. 600 to 80. 00D,0 900 gallons daily during
| midsummer and midwinter. the seasons
when the demand reaches the maximum.
There is one bit of truth in the above
that about h Passaic water. The part
| about the pipe lines is one of the strong
est arguments in favor of the Jersey
City Company. 1t offers to build its
great pipe line to Belleville at once, and
| give the city the immediate use of it.
Prior to 1889 everybody hoped that
| some plan would be found for prevent
Ing the pollution Of the Passaic river.
city of Passaic could not be stopped
from constructing sewers to add more
sewerage to the stream.
Yet the Journal wants us to take
a river as source of supply into which
about six p~opulous towns and villages
empty their sewage.
While the board was considering the
| matter Judge Lippincott attracted fresh
attention to the subject by charging the
| grand jury in relation to the water sup
rent scandals and charges which had
been made against the old board.
This is a vile falsehood. We nave al
ways thought Judge Lippincott made a
lamentable mistake in that charge, but
there is no sort of doubt but it was
aimed at the composite Street and Water
Board. appointed by Mayor Wanser. The
old board was bad, but that is no reason
why a wholesale lie of this description
should be fabricated.
But why go on through this tedious
array of villainous misstatements. 1t is
all of one piece. 1t is all in the style
that has made the Journal ~disreputable
for a generation, and that has made pro-
/ g~ressive men afraid to move in this town
lest falsehood and misconstruction should
turn their best actions to their injury.
