ference. The Kohl case, in which a decf-
sion was looked for, was net reached. The
next meeting of the court, unless a spe-
cial one is called, Will be held Monday,
October 5.
It's principal action yesterday. 50 far as
announcement was made, was the rever-
sal Of the decision of vice-Chancellor
Bird, in the suit brought by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company against the
United States Pipe Lin Company, to Sc
cure an injunction restraining it from
laying pipes under the Belvidere road at
Foul Rift, about seven miles below Belvi-
dere.
The Injunction was granted by the Vice
Chancellor, and as he has been reversed
by the highest court OF the State the
ripe line company is left free 10 pass I'M
der the tracks. IT'S whole line from the
Oh wells to the sea is completed, except
the hfty-nine feet under the tracks at
his point, and it is expected this strip
will be finished at once and oil turned IN
before further stoppage of work can be
secured by legal action.
The laying of this pipe line, which is in
isNesigned to carry oil from the oil region
to the shore, has been fought mile by
mile. point by point. 1t stole a march on

Good Roads as a National Issus.

We are in receipt Of a polite letter from
the editor of a paper devoted to the in
terests Of wheelmen urging the sugges-
zion that rhe Democratic National Con-
vention should include a Good Roads
Plank in its platform. The request i
saws. was made Of the Republican con-
ventson and was not granted. so now
haif 4 million Of wheelmen are looking
to the action Of the Democrats.
we do not believe there is any truth
in this. we certainly hope there is none.
we trust that riding a wheel does not
make a man a fool and hat it does NOT
deprive him of all patriotic instinct.
TAX about good roads, while an Issue
like the currency is at stake in truth
resembles nothing SO much as Nero
lddling while Rome burned.
.s1he News is heart and soul with
the wheelmen. It is willing to go n
reasonable length for good roads But
there is a time and there is a place for
all things, and the National Conventions
Of the great parties are neither the times
nor the places for good roads promo
ton. Firstly, no man of ordinary sense
and rectitude would give a thought to
such a subject in casting his vote when
principles and interests infinitely vaster
we're at stake. Secondly, the cause OF
good roads cannot be advanced in Ma
tional politics. They are matters OF
purely state and local care The Presi-
dent can do less to help them along than
the smallest member of the smallest
BOARD Of Freeholders or Supervisors o.
Commissioners in the smallest county in
the smallest State in the Union
Fads and freaks are TOO often intro
duced into our politics, tending to make
them ridiculous. h good roads matter
IS practical and real in its own field.
but the attempt to boost it into National
politics taxes it out of the domain Of
reason and propriety and tends to make
it absurd or worse. lAiAkA

H0BOgEN's TROLLEY WAR.
Crowds Try to Pull Down "a Pole
The Rival Companies.

The feeling over the introduction of the
lines of the Rutherford Trolley Company
through First and Second streets. Hobo
ken. mas not by any means subsidized.
Crowds surround the laborers. especially
at night, and many efforts are made to
hinder and retard the work. Last night
at the corner of First ana Clinton streets,
a crowd collected and an effort was made
to pull down one of the trolley poles
which had JUST been put in place. There
We're much talking and noisy demonstra-
tons of various kinds. Several police
men hurried TO the scene and the mis-
chief-makers ceased their efforts.
The trolley lines now extend on both
sides of Washington and Willow avenues
and First and Second streets, but as yet
no attempt has been made to cross the
lines of the North Hudson Railway Com
pany.. Manager Starr of hat company
has for several nights kept a gang Of
men IN constant readiness near the com
pany's offices to sally forth in case the
rival company attempts to push its tracks
across the North Hudson's rails.

saiverfte Insineerity.

Nothing about the Chicago Convention
is more amazing than the reason why
the majority are so bitterly opposed to
Senator Hill being chosen Temporary
Chairman. It is because he would make
the opening speech and the silver men
are afraid of the effect that his sound
money arguments would have.
This IS confession not only of weakness
but of dishonesty. If Altgeld and his
gang a that u%nbounded confidence in
their cause to which they pretend, they
would not have any fear of the W Of
a single voiee-not though Demosthenes
or Cicero came back to earth TO speak
against them. Their cowardice in this
matter shows tina they lack conviction
in their cause and confidence in the fu-
ture. They see themselves the calamity
that they are inviting. but they are bent
On taking all the chances for the graft
fcatson of their own passions.
It is a curious fact that nothing could
be 50 deadly to the silver party as a silver
victory next November. Nothing could
make a free silver bill so utterly i'm
possible as the election Of a silver Presi-
dent For. as fast as telegraph and cable
could carry the news Of such an event
far and wide panic and disaster would
come upon the country with a hideous
tidal wave of chaos and ruin that il
iekens the heart to think of. The
bursting Of the South Sea Bubble. the
collapse Of Laws paper currency scheme
world be mere triaes by comparison.
IN t~wenty-four hours. there would hardly
be a man in the country brave enough TO
admit that he was q ~silverite. and if the
leading criminals, such as Altgeld, es-
capped with their lives, it would be moth
ing short Of a miracle.
The fact Is many of these men do not
expect silver 70 win in November. ami
10 iiot wish It to win. They are using the
popular delusion now to get control of the
Democratic party machinery for future
purposes. @g4e
