GOOD TROLLEY IMPROVEMENTS.
Electric Heaters for the Bayonne
Cars,

People travelling on the Bayonne n
G%reenville line trolley ears have great
cause to rejoice over the excellent way in
which the company is looking out for the
comfort of it's passengers. Twenty-four
new cars were put on that line, and they
are the finest in the city. Starting from
yesterday each of these cars was fitted
up with six electric heaters, three on
each side. The people are very much
pleased with this style of heating, and all
have words Of praise for the company.
The heaters are placed under the seats,
and are controlled by two levers under
the floor of the car, about the middle:
The temperature in the ear can be raised
to seventy degrees by simply turning one
of these levers to a certain point, and can
be reduced in the same way. This nan
ner Of heating gives an even temperature
throughout the whole car, so different
from the stoves which only throw the
heat in one place.. Then, again, the heat
ers do away with all the coal and ashes
which are to been scattered around the
floor of a car in which there is a stove.
The conductors and motormen are not
allowed to regulate the heaters, as there
is an order in the office to that effect.
This duty falls on the starters and in
Spectors. Some people seem to regard the
order as a very funny one, n say that
if the car is not warm enough they have
to wait until the car reaches the end of
the line before the heaters can be 6

"whsn shs Exposure. win Ceases

The Evening Journal" printed an ar
ticle, yesterday, upon the crusade OF ex-
posures which it has been waging, and in
the course of it made some rather inter-
esting One of these was that
a numbe of good citizens had made
earnest protest against the exposures,
saying. in substance
Don't you hin you have exposed
enough. Criminals are like the poor, Tor
We have them with you always. We all
know that evil exists, but there Is SO
much of it that it cannot be cured, ana
if you canno cure 1t why make a public
exhibition of our name. 1t Will only IN
jure the eity's reputation"
1t has been surnised that this was the
attitude of the decent element towards
the fetid stun that has been appearing in
the Journals columns, and THE News"
has before given expression to this view
of the case. The assurance is interesting,
headquarters. that not only is this the
public attitude on the campaign of filth,
but that also good citizens nave not hest
tated to declare themselves right to the
s.Journar' itself.
The second interesting statement of the
ssJournars'' editorial is that which de-
clares the result-or, rather, lack of result
-of the good citizens remonstrances. h
Evening Journal intends to keep right
on. 1t will continue to besmirch the char
aeters of public men, it will continue to
drag out into the light the r~ottenness
which should be hidden away, until the
purposes which it has to accomplish are
accomplished.

THE pretext Of accomplishing results is
nearly too foolish almost for notice. h
journal" almost daily shows itself the
utter faulty of its aims and methods.
One day it proclaims the existence of
gambling in some particular den in '.impu-
dent defiance" Of it's exposures. The next
day, it tells the public that tho crime has
ceased in that particular place. A third
day, it discovers the evil in a new spot,
and on the fourth it chronicles it's disap-
pearance under the flash of publicity"
But. alas, on the fifth day it is discovered
to nave broken out again in the same
spot where it was discovered on the first
day and stopped on the second.
This is all the journal, can do. 1t can
play at hide and seek indefinitely with
petty vice. This is all the police and the
Prosecutor can do, here or anywhere else.
1t is the business of the police and the
Prosecutor to do It, and, on the whole,
they do it very well. But the Journal
cannot do it without doing Infinitely more
harm thar good, by besmirching the fair
name Of the community, by recklessly as
sailing private character, by undermining
tile foundations of public confidence and
morality, and by disgracing the entire
newspaper business in rendering its mo-
tiyes suspect and its methods abhorrent

1T Is impossible that the Journals"
crusade should be productive of aught but
evil. Neither that paper nor any other
human agency can entirely suppress vie
and crime. These things can be reduced
to a minimum, and they can be forced
into dark places, where they are not an
offence to the virtuous nor a temptation
to the weak. They are reduced to a mini
mum in this community. Publ opinion
and a set of officials who are quite as
good as the average-though probably no
better-have~ accomplished this. A man OF
woman may live a lifetime in this city
and never have the slightest personal
knowledge that any sort of wrongdoing-
at least of the kinds which the journal
assaiisEwas in existence within its limits.
On the whole, Jersey City, and, indeed,
Hudson County, may be described as
among the most peaceful, orderly, law
abiding, clean-ived places on the face of
the continent.
Nevertheless, the curse. OF humanity
hangs to US. It turks in holes and cor
ners. 1t lodges the police from one OBJ
scure den to another, always poor, always
frightened, always fugitive, never arrayed
in the scarlet and tinsel of brazen sin.
This is true, and we say it will always
be true, in every place where men dwell
in communities, SO long as human nature
is human nature.
But to make use of this miserable,
shrinking, poverty stricken outlaw evil as
an excuse to blacken the name of the city
and county, to fill columns and columns of
a sensational newspaper with yellow
trash. is as foul and dastardly a crime
as has ever been perpetrated. 1t is bring
ing shame on the pure, and ruin on the
good. 1t is throwing away the birthright
of honor and prosperity, which is the due
of the city and it's people, and it is wilful
wallowing and rolling in malicious and
cynical qualification of evil imaginings.
