a WELL FOUNDED COMPLAINT.


To the Editor of the Jersey City News.
Being a constant reader of your paper
! hope you win publish this letter. Being
compelled by business to ride on the
Grove street cars three or four times a
day, I would like to ask you if the travel
ing public has my rights as to the Erie
crossing. It is a shame that the police,
or at least Chief Murphy, does not step
in and do something in the matter. 1t
Is 8 disgrace the way the cars are held
without any N in a great many cases.
The men that are stationed there don't
seem to care how long they hold a car
back, with a great loss to many people
who, like myself. are compelled to ride
on them. I think there ought to be
placed there a policeman who would dc
his duty, as many a poor man loses his
days work by being late. all On account
of the poor judgment used by those men
in raising and lowering the gates. All
unnecessary delay ought TO be avoided
for the best interests of everybody
Yours, j. w. JACKSON.

the Epworth Leaguers, which has been
in session here for forr days. came to a
close last night. Yesterday morning Rev.
J.. Morgan Reed of Burlington made an
address on "The Social Work OF the Ep-
worth League" He said: 9Th church

Of man. The social question is a dan

Every social nature must be satisfied,

a dismal failure. It is fallacy to say there
is no limit to the social question:

INDIAN RELICS FOUND.
Many Curfosities of Ancient Days
UDeartbed Near Hammonton.

Special to the Jersey Nescs City.
HAMMONToN, Aug. Is, 1Sss.-The dis
covery of Indian relics in this vicinity
has become quite a feature and appar-
ent villages n relics are being daily
unearthed. Yesterday, as Mr.. Millstead
was blowing on his farm, a few miles
from this city, he unearthed a large
sized battle Ak, together with several
arrow heads and spears. But a few days
previous a valuable discovery had been
made in Gloucester Pond Of earthen
pots, dishes. spears and other articles.
This discovery, together. with the one
made yesterday, shows that a settlement
was at one time located in this vicinity.
Several of the specimens found, which
have been examined by those acquainted
with Indian relics, are said to be nearly
300 years old. Searching parties are con-
tinually going from this city for the rel
les, and many interesting specimenz are
secured.

The "HeraldY print an interview with
Mark Hanna this morning in which that
worthy once more tries to put the cur
rency question into the background by
saying protection is the main issue upon
which Mckinley is running. He goes
a step farther. He says the lines are
not as rightly drawn between the parties
on silver as Eastern sound money men
think. and trots out the binetalie
trash which the st. Louis Convention
embodied into a plank in the Republican
platform.
All this would be disquieting. if one
could believe that the words Of a man
Ike Hanna could overcome yhe realities
of a contest like this, and negative in any
degree. great or small. the viii of the
people. expressed at the polls. But, for
tunately, this is not credible. Every
body knows wha the issue is in this
campaign as well as Hanna does. Every
one knows what the victory of Mckinley
will mean and what mandate will go
with IT, No living man win dare to
ignore hat meaning or disobey that man
date after election. and when Mckinley
is President a free coinage bill will be
lust as much an impossibility as it would
be If Grover Cleveland were still in the
White Hsuse.
Hanna's talk is. of course. the usual
Republican trickery The protection
business is a blind and the bimetalism
is a bait for Western voters. 1t is
false and dishonest, of course. but it is
impossible for Republicans to be any
thing else.
