AN UNCLEAE IRRITATION.

Complaint was made to the authorities in regard to the sanitary conditions sur- rounding the home of Walter Hall of Alder City on Monday. Investigation showed the family, which consisted of Hall, wife and three children, to be liy- ing in place beside which clean sta- ble would be considered parlor.

The remaining child, a girl of b months, he consigned to the care of it's grandmother, Mrs David Rogers, where without doubt, it will be we'll cared for.

Scientists of the past have told us
that when any portion of the human
frame is destroyed it can never be re-
placed by nature. NJ Alexander \.
Vitzou. however, has been carrying on
experiments by which he has proved
that lost tissues of the brain are re-
placed by growth. Vitzou removed the
occipital Iobes of a monkey and after
two years he found the occipital cavity
filed with nerve cells that performed
their functions as well as the old brain
tissue. When the political lobe of the
brain is located we would suggest that
the oracles of some of our evening con
temporaries go to NJ. Vitzou for treat
ment.

AMERICAN IMMIGRATION.

One of the encouraging features of the
present is the number of American
farmers who are taking up coffee lands.
Unfortunately this number by no means
equals the quota of free Asiatic citizens
that nearly every steamer is bringing
US. A good portion of this latter class
go to the plantations or hang about Ho-
nolulu, where they live on the earnings
of few women who are worse than
slaves. That is the shady side of the
immigration question
Meanwhile, however, nearly every
steamer or sailing vessel from the Am
erican coast brings one or two and Of
ten more men who come to the coun-
try to take up land and make homes in
the coffee districts. The newcomers, as
rule, are of the sturdy, Woodworking
classes, men who will make good citi-
zens, and are in more respects than one
an addition to the population of the
country. These are the settlers who are
wanted here, and the country can we'll
afford to spend a good bit of money in
swelling the tide of immigration of this
character. While both the United
States and Canada have thousands of
miles of undeveloped lands that may be
had for the asking, we believe it is
hardly open to question that the land
hof no oh tot in
offers equal, if not better, inducements
to the people who are not afraid of
little hard work The necessity for
every prospector or possible settler to
bring a bag of gold along with him
has, we believe, been harped upon al
together too much. Money doesn't grow
on bushes, but when some of the free
lands of the States are compared with
the lands of Hawaii, the chances of
good living and a good return for labor
are far better in Hawaii. We are .out
of the world to be sure but we are
quite as much in touch with the world
and markets as the settlers of the West
ern plains living a hundred or more
miles from the railroads. What we
need, what we must have, if the Anglo
Saxon is to control the destinies of the
nation, is intelligent, hardworking men.
A capital of few thousands is a good
thing for settlers to have to fall back
upon, but it is rank foolishness for the
people of this country to tacitly main
tain that energy and brains cannot reap
their sure reward without money with
which to lead the way.
The trouble with our people today is
that they have made altogether too
much money and made it too easily for
them to fully appreciate the "bed rock" !
financial conditions under which many
settlers in other countries are working. |

Our advertisements in the
daily papers attract more
WanterS than we know what
to do with at times, but they
are indulgent with US and if
they cannot be waited on the

there are attractive bits of
crockery and glassware to
occupy their attention for a
few minutes. It's the shop
pers and buyers that make
us happy. If the rush con-
tinueS the force of clerks
will be enlarged. Advertise

this mas been SO FAR a remarkably rainy
season. We would now be IN the midst d
the regular annual agony Of msue Pas
sale consumption. The newspapers woult
be full OF lurid description OF the stats
Of the water. The Boards OF Trade ane
other goo goo organizations would be re-
soluting and appointing committees. Leb-
beus 3. Ward would be pulling wires AM
the voice Of Joseph A. Dear would be
heard above the tumult snorting libels
against the Mayo and other city officials.
AS it is, we are living jn a fools para
disc. We are in the enjoyment Of a toll
cradle water supply. The fluid that
reaches our homes is pleasant to battle
in; it is quite suitable for culinary por-
poses. and. in parts Of the city where the
mixture Of passaic is smallest, II is even
~drinkable. Thus it happens hat we are
enjoying life ana letting the future take
care Of itself.
Yet the future IS full OF anxiasies, The
very near future is charged with the ques-
ton of how this luxurious fluid which we
enjoy is to be paid for. It costs. like pleas
ures Of the senses. a mighty high price,
and it is not just clear to our financial
officers, nor yet to the thinking citizen,
just where the money is to come from 10
meer this years bill of the East Jersey
Water Company.
Then there is the problem of the more
distant. but still not very remote period.
when Newark viii take possession OF the
Pequannock system, n the East Jer-
available to sell US. This will be in
1900. Only four years of good water re-
main to us under present arrangements.
n after that time we must go back to
Passaic soup, unless we are able, mean
time. TO make some permanent provision
for our needs.
No permanent benefit will ever accrue
to property in this city until this aues-
ton is settled for all time. Capital and
population Will not come TO US On d TOUT
years supply basis. The most desirable
class of residents. the people who would
bring wealth and pro-gressiveness TO the
city, are the sort of people who make
careful inquiry about just such things as
water supply before buying or building
or renting. So long as they cannot get
satisfactory assurances here. however
great the other advantages we may offer,
they viii pass us by going to Newark,
Elizabeth. tbs Oranges. or the pretty vii
lagos in Bergen county.
