FINED FOR DUMPING GARBAGE.

1t has long been the custom of scaven-
gers. street cleaners Ind swill mongers
to make a dumping ground Of the mea-
lows in the lower section of Hoboken.
The result has been very detrimental to
the health and comfort of residents in
that vicinity. Even carts from New
York dumped their refus close to dwell
ing houses. The residents and property
owners complained again and again to the
Board of Health. Yesterday. in D
to repeated complaints. Health Inspector
Granelli arrested three drivers of carts
for dumping at this place. They ware

Of that much contraction in the circula-
ton Of money. Then think of the people
to whom these employees paid out their
earnings, the real estate owners, the
grocers. the butchers, the ciothsers. Fol-
low out the shrinkage caused by this one
failure through al its consequences, and
see if Organism pays. Then think Of the
multiplication of the sane effects beyond
all calculation by the possible victory Of

We nave used the term appalling in
the past to describe the possible con-
sequences of a free silver victory. We
now ask If the consequences already re-
allied are anything short of appalling?

1t is pretty certain that a large number
of the politicians who are shouting for
silver are not really in favor of it, but in
their hearts are mortally scared as to its
effects.

none which is more generally popular

Candidate McKinley's letter of accept
ance Is all tina the heart Of nan can de-
sire, so far as the currency question goes.
We can find no juggle in it and no reserve
in 1t. What is said about international
bimetalism, in no conceivable way at
fleets the living issue before the people,
which is the depreciation of the currency
by the Independent free coinage of silver
at a parity of 16 to L On this issue, Mr..
Mckinley is precise and explicit and he
expresses the sentiments of every honest
man who c~omprehends the subject. His
declarations are most succinctly embod-
led inefhis paragraph
The mere declaration of this purpose
Z IS a menace to our financial and Industrial
interests. and has already caused univer-
sal alarm. It involves great peril TO the
credit and business of the country, a
peril so grave that conservative men
everywhere are reaking away from their
old party associations and uniting with
other patriotic citizens in emphatic pro-
test against the platform of the Democrat
1c National Convention as an assault
ment and the welfare of the people. We
have had few questions in the lifetime of
Inc heDuDllc more serious IMAM Inc one
which Is thus presented.
To this. nothing can be added. Nothing
need be added On such a pledge as
opposed TO Organism. any mar may safely
vote for William Mckinley.
It is. of course. impossible for Mr.. Nc
Ezinley to entirely ignore the tariff. It
was indeed impossible for him to AXE
any middle ground upon it. He would
gain no respect and no votes by trimming
upon a cause which he has in a peculiar
way made his, and which in return has
made him. The manifest and wisest
thing for him to do was stick to his guns.
We wholly and totally disagree with him
in every word that he utters upon the
tariff, bat we do not blame him for say
ing it, on the contrary. we give him all
the credit that is Tue to courage and
consistency.
Mr.. Mckinley makes one remarkable
concession He places the currency first
and foremost as the issue of the hour.
He seems to be sincerely convinced of
its overwhelming Importance. Having ex-
hausted 1t and touched ON other subjects,
he returns TO 1t. He plainly stands ready
to make his fight on it. He makes his
pledges on it his principal appeal for
support, and he states 1t to be the SUI
preme issue of the campaign.
Considering all the things that Major
Mckinley might have done, he has on the
whole done the best thing possible. His
letter is all that it ought to be. Much
of it is heresy to Democrats, but withal.
it Is the best thing tina could have been
hoped for under the circumstances.
