JERSEY CITY SOAKED.
Trolleys Much Impeded by Rain
and Wind "A Horse
Killed.

In Jersey City trees which came down
under the flood of water combined with
the winds force brought trolley wires
with them in some cases, and in one
case at least ripped down few telegraph
wires also.
Pedestrian progress on the various
streets tending in southerly or easterly
direction encountered annoyances worthy
of admittance amongst the future pangs
of purgatory. Most people who found
themselves in the neighborhood of Wash
ington street with business at the ferry
found it expedient to take a trolley car
for the few blocks. Umbrellas We're prac-
tically useless So strong was the wind
that its eddies from the buildings would
seize an umbrella and turn it inside out
before it's owner knew what happened.
|, Many a derby hat careered wildly down
the street in the midst of the heavy
downfall, gathering mud and dents of
all descriptions and pursued by its pro-
fame and Rerspiring owner
Trolley platforms for once were va
cant, especially on the southwark trips
Even the charms of perfecto or the
deadly fascination of the paper-encased
cigarette could not counteract the in
fiuence of the chilling rain. Conductors
took to the interior, too. for shelter The
unfortunate motorman had a bad time
of it between his efforts to spear switches
with his long handled iron and to keep
watch on those wall-eyed citizens who
constantly place their lives in jeopardy
by darting in front of the motors. Troll
leys which jumped the wire this morning
were blessed by the conductors, too In
trying to wing the wire again his up
turned eountenance was treated to
plentiful shower bath and streams ran
up his coat sleeves.
The. trolleys ran with commendable
regularity though trouble throughout
the city was encountered from broken
wires and flooded rails. No delays of
any extent were experienced. All along
West Side avenue sand was washed
across the tracks in such quantities as
to Interfere very seriously with the early
mornings traffic. A gang of workmen
was despatched to that stretch of tracks
and by hard shovelling they succeeded
eventually in clearing one track Subse-
quently they had about all they could
manage to keep. this single track clear
of sand.
A large tree in Glendale Park blew
down across the tracks on the Plank
Road just east of the Hackensack draw,
bridge this morning. 1t carried three
poles and the trolley feed wires with it
and completely blocked both tracks.
This stopped all traffic on the Plank
Road line to Newark until Superintendent
Fuller hit upon the happy plan of trans
ferring passengers around the obstruct-
ion. Cars bound for this city were sent
back to Newark with the former Occur

Derelicts and icebergs are among the
dangers to which vessels are constantly
exposed, the latter being perhaps the
more formidable Of the two, because
there are more of them at certain sea-
sons, and there is nc telling VIXEN one
Of these monsters may heave in sight.
An ordinary iceberg shows one-ninth Of
its bulk above water. During the pres
emit season a number Of these masses Of
ice-at least 100 feet high--have been
encountered by steamships. 1t is scarcely
possible to imagine an iceberg with 900
feet Of it's bulk below water. One cap

Just turned over, as the upper portion
was full of sharp angles and points, and
the water was trickling down its side.
One of the greatest dangers from ice
bergs is being in their vicinity when
they turn over. The sea currents wash
and melt them into all sorts Of fantastic
figures and points. They melt below SO
much more rapidly than above that the
center of gravity becomes disturbed, and
they turn with tremendous force. Some
times the disturbance is almost equal to
a tidal wave and is sufficient to upset
any small craft that may be in its way.

view, and = which tho mar who sug-
gested that campaign money should go
to newspapers instead Of being ex-
pended in public meetings, took, is
that while the average public political
speaker (who Is always paid for bis
s~ervices) addresses, at the most, q few
hundred hearers, a newspaper OF any
standing speaks to the quiet sense and
Judgment Of many thousands, and the
influence Of what it says 10 felt through
out whole communities and among all
classes.
There is no business in the world 10
which the proprietors give. and are ex.
pected to give, 81 much for nothing as
that of the newspaper publisher. Col
umn after column is written, many
hours Of thought are devoted each day
to the general good OF others, and dur
ing a campaign a large portion Of most
valuable space. for which regular ad-
vertiseis would pay we'll. is devoted to
the patriotic (P) purpose OF boosting
some individual into a coveted office
under the color Of principle.
We say, and we say it openly, that,
while having positive convictions as
to methods and parties, and while we
will devote aver an unreasonable
amount Of time and space In express
ing them, the man is a fool who would
assert that the payment of a pitiful
sum by comparison for the great SER
vices rendered is a bride or in the ma
ture of a bride. Those who aim at
success in life pay for it, and their
money is generally applied to the
agencies which can best assist them 10
reaching it.
These remarks, OF course, apply on
ly to newspapers Of established reputa-
ton, circulation and influence, and not
to the mushroom campaign sheets
which are founded solely for campaign
spoils and which cease to exist when
the result is known.

informed his class, chiefly composed of
women that a daily theme would be

young ladies, who went to the instructor
after the session was over, in the pres

coquettishly, "And what will you dc

We are gravely told that should Mr..

will be followed by a locking up OF

Mr.. Sam j Kenyo on showed by the re-
ports OF the treasury and comptroller's

14th of last August, locked up in the
United States treasury and sub
treasures and banks, all the money In
the country, and that what was In cir
culation among the people was but

form and another, only substitute

notes and silver certificates merely rep
resent silver dollars in the treasury,
the gold certificates merely represent
gold coin or bars in the treasury, and

PLAIN TALK.

The Colorado Springs Gazette, som'
years ago, printed an editorial on thu
proposition made by a member of F,
campaign committee to divide the funt
raised, among the newspapers in place
of the usual methods. The article
said
"There are a good many reasons why
this policy should not be pursued. TIL.
papers that have any influence will
earnestly work for the ticket any way
They do not need and do not demand any
pay. As these are the papers that will
influence voters, any large amount ex
pended on newspapers would be thrown
away"
Now, we will leave this to any un.
prejudiced reader if this is a fair as
sertion to make. Newspapers are not
printed for the fun of doing an I'M
mense amount of unpaid for and un-
appreciated work they are not printed
simply to boost Tom, Dick or Harry
into some coveted Office where
the pay ard emoluments
are largely in excess Of the
scanty earnings of the publisher, neither
are they printed simply to give rent to
the personal political opinions OF the
editors and proprietors. Like every
other business, that of publishing d
newspaper requires money, a fair
equivalent for services rendered whether
in politics or business, and every sue
cessful newspaper Of any standing in
the country requires and receives a fair
equivalent for its services in any
capacity. Patriotism and the advo-
cacy of what u thinks is Just and
right IN the world, is all very well,
and, in fact, is practiced more un-
selfishly by editors than any other class
of workers in the world, but there is
not a candidate nominated by either
party, who, In dong the hard, cease
less campaign work necessary to his
success, but who is actuated almost
solely and entirely by motives utterly
personal and selfish. Why, then, ask
of any man that self abnegation which
you would never. dream Of praciicing
yourself!
Possibly another and more practical
