agreeable impression. He is bold,
gallant and attractive Young leader,

deny to him the courage of hie con-
victions. u.s." .- -
Mr.. Mckinley has not shown the
frankness and courage that have char
acterized Mr.. Bryan. For months he
presented a syphinx like silence, con-
sidering what would win him the
most votes. Nor are some of the
forces behind Mckinley such as to
encourage lover Of good govern
ment. The trust ve still have with

Tho Coming Fair.

The outlook for q lively Fair week
is growing better each day as the date
approaches. The stalls for stock ex-
hlbits and horses for speed contests
are being engaged rapidly and the
display OF live stock will compare
with the best ever. shown on the
grounds. At the pavilion consider
able space ls Already spoken for and it
is thought that the end of next week
will find every inch taken and many
of the exhibits in place.
The additional attractions this year
will be of different character and
surpass those Of any previous exhi-
bition. The practical demonstration
Of the Cathode OF, X.ray. as it Is gen.
orally known, will be wonderful. The
magnificent stereoptican views alone
will be worth all the ticket to the
fair costs for the whole week. Visitors
may be assured. that they will be
treated well and spend an enjoyable
week.-Journal. ..-.

and before che campaign is closed it
will have spread over Ohio and into
New York. Every man who is inter-
ested in monetary reform must be
leany to enter this fight at once and

What do our rational Populist

Committee of their party request Mr..
Newlands to go East and make
speeches. They say this is a common
cause and not confined to party, yet
the man they desire to go East and
speak Tor Bryan is opposed here al
home by persons who claim here to
be Bryan men. 1t is true that the op.
ponents Of Mr.. Newlands are appeal.

The fair held under the auspices Of the
ladies of st. Paul's Catholic Church,
Linden avenue and Old Bergen Road,
closed Saturday evening. Nearly $1,000
has been realized and will be used to
help clear the church of the large debt
hanging over it. Much praise is due to
Father Riley for his untiring efforts as
manager of the fair. To a News re-.
porter Saturday evening ne said that he
wished to extend. through THE News"
thanks to all who had helped make the
fair successful, and also stated that
while praise was extended to all of the
workers, more hanks were due to the
young ladies of the Rosary and Sodality
Societies. Saturday evening all of the
articles left over were auctioned off by
Messrs. T. Fitzgerald and T. Folger.
Among those who AVE worked hard in
the interests of the fair We're Mrs. NJ

Joint Action ON water supply.

The renewal of the water agitation in
Hoboken ought to suggest to the Off
cials Of that city and to Mayor Wanser
and the Street and Water Board of this
city, the great d%esirability of united ac-
ton upon the water question. No rea-
these two municipalities will be CONSOLE
dated. The present system of dual gov
m is wasteful in the last degree,
and under it the weaker sister is cursed
With a police system which is a disgrace
to the State. Every salary paid In Hobo
ken, except those to the police and fire.
men. is thrown away. A very large saw
ing would be the result of consolidation,
and both cities would get better govern
ment.
For this reason, public works In which
both are equally interested and which
must now be undertaken to cover long
periods of time, should be undertaken
Jointly. From any proper point of view,
the fact tina both cities are now seek
ing new water supply arrangements at
the same time would appear Providential
Indeed. concerted action upon this i'm
portant matter might be made the enter
ing wedge for the complete consolida-
ton.
Would it not be a good idea for the
Mayors and other officials. charged with
the duty of making water contracts, to
hold a conference and agree upon legis-
lation to be sought at Trenton to au-
thorize joint action.

as ait present, merely to those who taught
in pubic schools. She explained that
teachers of the Norman and Model Schools
Deaf Mute School and several others had
made application for admission to the
fund. and she thought provision should
be made TO make them eligible.
An amendment making membership in
the funds obligatory on all who become
teachers in the State after July L 1897.
was favored unanimously. as was also
n twins the old teachers another OPP
%portunity to join. The time within
which those already employed at teach
ing might come into the fund was ex-
tended until July l. 1887.
Regarding the reports that State Treas
urer Swan had refused to accept moneys
from the various boards who attempted
to forward the same to him, President
Manness said that the statements were
utterly untrue. He said the Treasurer had
received monies sent to him by the per-
sons authorized under the law to receive
and forward the same, and kept all such
monies in a private safe in his Office.
These sums, he said, had not been ac-
knowledged by Mr.. Swain as State Treas
urer Of New Jersey. but Acknowledgements
had always been made as the monies
were received in Mr.. SWANS office
