The odd y.,umes.

We have had the privilege of looking
over a programme of the meetings of
the Odd Volumes, Miss Cecilia Gaines
literary club. for the current season. We
also had the pleasure of reading in the
Sunday Herald" a week or two ago, a
letter written by Miss Gaines about the
Club, representing it as a product of
feminine progress towards the now
ideal. Miss Gaines ought to know where
of she speaks. She is one OF the most
aggressive representatives of the new
type thai we have in Jersey City, ard
she certainly can speak witt authority
concerning the Odd Volumes.

This was always a knack Mr.. Sackett
had. He could stir up more kicking and

Somtimes he was called iIl-natured for it.
But Mr.. Sackett is not ill-natured. He
merely has a well developed perception
of the enews'' quality in events. His
book is essentially a newspaper mans
work, and it has news enough in 1t to
stock an ordinary sheet with sensations

Everyone will find amusement and
profit in reading it. To the politicians,
it is simply Indispensable.

The water CertiorarI.

To Judge from the decision of Judge
Garrison, the petition for a writ of GER
tiorari against the temporary water sup
ply must have been based upon very
shallow grounds, just as is the decision
itself. The true objection to the con-
tract with the East Jersey Company is
not in the lack of formality in the pro-
ceedings antecedent to the contract. 1t
is not in the price. nor even in the lack
of SUFFICIENT quantity of water in the
surplus for this city's needs.
The real trouble is in the plight which
the contract puts the city in, If the con-
tract for a permanent supply is an
nulled.
In that event, we are liable to be plac-
ed absolutely in the power of the East
Jersey Company. Once we get a taste
of good water there will be no such
thing as a return to "Potage a la Belle
VILE" as, we believe, the Sun" called
the Passaic fluid. But East Jersey will
have its grip on US. 1t car cut off our
supply any year at a few months no.
tice. No doubt it will do so if we begin
to negotiate with any other company.
And a permanent supply would take at
least two years to construct.
1t will be East Jersey or nothing!
The East Jersey price for a perma-
nent supply is about 100000.

The motto .an vino v~eritas" seems to
nearly fit the revelation of political Sc

on Wednesday night by Mr.. Frank Allo-
Alloway was literally drunk with new
wine" Far from it. He was in one
sense stone sober, and in sober earnest.
The intoxication which moved him TO
speak was the fullness of his heart. the
fullness of his joy in the election of
John W. Griggs and five A. P. A. Assem-
biymen, a combination in which he fore
saw the certainty of legislation that
will make the old Pope look sick"
We do not propose to comment at any
length upon this sad exhibition of utter
un-Americanism, un-Christianity and I'M
reason. The utterances of Mr.. AHoway
may be trusted to do their own work
In the breast of every honest man. We
VIII not even condemn the hideous po-
litical alliance revealed. The facts are
before the public from the clean inside.
Much that was before inexplicable in
the event of Tuesday week is now ex-
planned. It is unnecessary to stimulate
public feeling in presence of such dis
closures. The good average moral sense
of an American public may be trusted to
form its own opinions on the premises
and its own resolves.
The case of Sheriff Toffey. the jubilee
OF whose newspaper organ was the oc-
casion for this savage outburst of ex-
ultation, is truly to be deplored. Prob
ably the Sheriff Is far from sharing in
the extreme views of Mr.. Alloway. He
to express himself in such a amer
Whether or not he was cognizant of the
way in which patriotic votes were be-
ing secured for Mr.. Griggs, is a secret
locked in his own breast. Whether he
was or not, he assuredly would never
dream of parading it on the housetops,
and no doubt he cursed the enterprise a
thousand times, last evening, which
brought him into prominent Identification
with such a declaration of religious
war.
Congressman McEwan Is also to be
pitied-or perhaps not. Perhaps Mr.. AL
loway's speech may have suited him.
We do not know. He spoke after Mr..
Anoway, and, when we say he is to be
pitied, we mean that he let slip, forever,
an opportunity of showing liberality and
courage when he failed to embody in
his speech any protest against Mr.. AIlo-
ways words. He lacked the presence
of mind to make a big point-just as
Mr.. Blaine did or a very similar oc-
casion. But, as we have said, perhaps
speech embodied his own views. AS he
made no comment on it, we do not know.
Probably disavowals will be plentiful
today; but the murder is out. Mr.. Allo-
way has shown the public the true in
wardness of the recent campaign. Those,
whose standing as political leaders is
affected, must only make the best of it.
AS for the threat of sectarian legislation
during the next term, we hardly think
1t win come to much. The Republican
party may have been very willing to
before election. but with a Presidential
contest coming on, it will hardly dare
fulfil its pledges at the cost OF estrang-
ing many thousands of other voters.
Meanwhile there win be much curiosity
to know who the FIVE Junior Order U.

THE increase in Chief Murphy's sal
airy from $500 to 5000 a year will meet
with the approval of every citizen. The
Chief is one of the most valuable SER
wants the city has. He does his duty
conscientiously and efficiently. He keeps
out of politics and devotes himself to
promoting the public good and order.
Besides, he has a fine record as a SOL
der, and is personally as agreeable as
he is officially valuable. 1t will surprise
most people to learn that he has been SO
i'll paid. This is an example of how a
faithful worker may be forgotten by the
public if he is modest and unobtrusive.
But it is better late than never, and
everyone will share in the Chiefs salts
faction, this morning, that the good thing
has come at last.
