DUB NARROW GAUGE GOVERNOR
(New York Evening Post.)

Governor Griggs, of New Jersey, having
begun to take orders from Boss Sewell in
the appointment of a VIGOROUSLY unfit
man for Judge of Camden County, will
doubtless now go on to the end of the al
phabet. When you say A at a boss's be-
hest, you have to say B and so on to q.
Ones in his clutches there is no escape,
except by yielding the uttermost farthing
of independence and decency. Governor
Griggs may secure the United States Sem
atorship by his s-ubServiency, but he will
lose what is of far more value-the re-
spect and admiration of his best friends.
Many people in New Jersey and out of it
had looked to him for able and fearless
leadership. During his first year in office
he did much to confirm the hopes fixed
on him, and distinctly raised the tone at
Trenton, even in the Legislature. But at
the first sign of his ~crouching. the jobbers
and the spoilsmen cheer up instantly and
for increasing salaries, for condoning
frauds at the polls. and for turning over
Jersey City and Newark to the spoiler are
pressed to passage. A local boss tells the
legislature that there is going to be no
more magazine politics. in New Jersey.
Tina is to say, the Governor having
thrown away his professions for the sake
of a higher office, why should not the
whole litter join IN the scramble? A veto
on political jobbery need no more be fear
ed from an executive who has openly sur
rendered to the head jobber.. It is thus
not only his wv reputation that Governor
Griggs has wantonly lowered, but the po-
Hticai morale throughout the State

Mrs. c. C. Newcomb, Of st. Louis, finds
herself "a new woman in the best sense
of the word.
An invalid woman is always a sad sight
-sadder even than that of an invaii a
because of her greater capacity for suffer

Neuralgia, backache, fits of depression
and headaches compel her to think or

half throbs as if it would go TO pieces.
There are no more striking examples of
the great, practical value of Paine,s celery

THE STAKE IN THE WATER
GAME.
From the Newark Evening News.

ANS"9s - IL
Without the Canistear reservoir the
Newark water supply system is admit
teddy i~nadequately to meet contract re-
quirements. That fact, Mr.. Hobart, of
the East Jersey Water Company, a ac-
knowledged.
The water impounded at Canistear
comes, as does every other drop of water
in the Newark system, from the Pequan-
mock watershed. If, therefore, Newark
could be deprived of the Canistear reser-
voir when it accepted the works in 1900,
that reservoir would be of no use to the
East Jersey Company. Its contract would
debar 1T from drawing upon the Pequan-
mock watershed above the Macopin in
take.
The company, at first, evidently a no
intention of withholding the new reser-
voir from Newark. For one month its
capacity was included in the storage re-
ports made to the city. Now tina reser-
voir's condition is no longer so reported.
The reason for this is plain. The East
Jersey Company evidently hopes for three
years Of heavy rainfall, and counts upon
the possibility of success In an effort to
A0A oPPSoA cAN IN ~ AcSCl FollS dIS
adequate to yield a supply Of not less thar
5000, 900 gallons a day.
If that could be done, and If Newark
should accept the original system as in
full compliance with the contract, the
Canistear reservoir would still be useless
to the Company, but useful to Newark.
The Company would then offer it to the
city for money or concessions.
That is the stake for which the Com
pany is evidently playing.

The Tax BiIl H~earIng.

Today. the Assembly Committee on
Railroads is to hold a hearing at Trenton
upon Assembly bill No. /. the measure
which provides for the taxation of second
class railroad property at local rates for
the benefit of the municipalities wherein
it lies, the assessment to be made, how
ever, by the State Board as at present.
and to be equalized with the ratio of
assessment which prevails in each taxing
district.
This bill, it is believed, infiicts no hard
ship on the corporations, while it affords
much relief to the ~overburdened tax
payers. It should be urged on its own
merits and not on any platform of agrees
sion or political acrimony. After all,
this is. in its present stage, a business
question. The politics only come in if the
majority party in the Legislature bands
itself to refuse relief to the public. AS
for %animosity to the railroads, it is non
sensical. if they will only give private
property in our cities a living show.
The dominant party is just now claim
ing, with great jubilation, that it has re-
duced the State expenses in the past
year, without trying, s1ss, 600. If this be
true, there can be argument. based on
the needs of the State, why the proposed
legislation should not go through.

The Evening Post" we find, is prop
erly shocked at the backsliding of John
w. Griggs. This was to be expected. In
its own vile pharisaical way, It shut its
eyes to the truths of record when Griggs
was G~ubernatoriaI candidate. 1t chose
to speak Of him as a broad gauge states
man, a man of public spirit and virtue,
a mar Of good ideals, broad view and
warm heart.

to have looked back over the mans ca
reer to a satisfied itself as to what
he really was 1t would AVE found him
a narrow country attorney, a narrow
hayseed legislator, a tool of the corpora
tiops, railroad and other, a lobbyist just
a shade better than his protege, Bette.
1t would have found every public utter
ance of his reeking with personal spite
and total Indifference to the public in
terest- They would have found that, as
a promoter of public legislation, he was

and a reckless falsifier of economic fact
and principle. It would nave found him,
politically, the representative of every
heresy which the Post itself. abomin-
ates. If the POST had even watched
the campaign made by Griggs for his
election, he would lave found it was
made ON the narrowest, smallest, most
miserable platform of personal abuse,
without ever committing the candidate
to q principle or a promise which was
capable of an intelligent construction
In . recent article. not the one which
we reprint today, the Post said that
Griggs had done the public some good
service since he became Governor. If. so.
what was it? Can any living man put his
finger OF one good thing in this State,
and say "Griggs did it,? If SO, what is

The ssJournaps,, vale Di.criminatior

We desire to say just one word in re-
Epect to the course of the Evening Jour-
nal the day before yesterday. in select
ing some fifteen or twenty names from
the list of personal tax ~delinquents, and
holding them up to more or less injurious
criticism by their fellow citizens. We re-
gard the act as simply -blaekguardism.
There are, we are informed, between three
and four thousand names on the list certi-
fed by Collector Simeon H. Smith to
Comptroller Hough. If we could print all
these names as a news item. re might
consider the expediency and propriety of
doing SO. When they are sent to US by
the city authorities, in the regular exc
cution of the law, as we are told they are
TO be, we shall of course print them with
out hesitation
But neither personal malice nor yet the
desire to make a cheap sensation would
tempt The News" to n such scandal
Gus discrimination as the Journal was
guilty OF. The very enterprising and
careful. young gentleman, who reports
City Hall matters for 1.-THE News OBJ
tained, as was his duty, the same list
that the Journal printed. He sub
United it to the Editor of this paper, and
asked instructions as to whether he
should write it for publication. He was
Instructed not to do so, because it was an
tmwarranted, premature revelation of the
private affairs of these gentlemen, and
because it was an outrageous discrimina-
ton against them compared with the
thousands of others on the list.
After reading the reports of recent
Board of Trade meetings, the public viii
have no difi1culty IN understanding why
Mr.. Bears paper jumped at the chance
to humiliate certain eminently respect
able merchants and other citizens of this
town. Neither is 1t hard to understand
b political bias which picked out promi-
nent Democratic officials for a nasty fling.
There Is nothing new in such action on
the part of the Journal and no doubt
this will not be the last instance, unless
Mr.. Phelps takes some steps to curb the
vampire tendencies of his underlings.
