JOSEPH E. HAYNES VERY ILL
Newark,s Postmaster and Ex-Mayor
Has a Hard Fight for Life.

Especial to The Jersey City News.'
NEWARK. Oct. 20, 1S97.-The Illness of
Postmaster Joseph E. Haynes has taken
such a serious turn that little hope of his
recovery is held out by his physician.
Mr.. Haynes himself, and the members oe
his family, are prepared for the worst, al
though there is a hope expressed that his
great vitality will stand him in good
stead.
The venerable Postmaster is afflicted
with diabetes mellitus, one of the comph-
cations of which showed itself in the
form of a dangerous gangrenous growth
in the right foot.
Mr.. Hayes has suffered from kidney aft
lection for years, and has suffered much.
particularly during the last year.
Despite his affliction. which would have
caused an ordinary man to succumb long
ago. the Postmaster displayed the in
domitable spirit which has marked his
long public career by persiSting in at
tending the duties of his department, re-
gardless of personal sufferings: He was
at his office as late as last week. but DUR
ing the middle OF the week the gangrene,
which had first attacked the large toe of
the right foot, extended to the whole foot
and assumed & serious phase u
Mr.. HaynesiS physician realized that his
patients condition was almost hopeless,
and he informed the Postmaster's sons,
George and Albert. to be prepared for
the worst.
Mr.. Haynes condition was critical all
day Saturday and yesterday. and II was
still so this morning, although his ply
Stefan found him slightly improved. The
doctor declared that he still has hope
that the life of his patient may oeossheo;
or at least that death may be averted
for a long time, but, in any event, the
Postmaster will probably never De aoie
to resume his duties.
Mr.. Haines retains full possession OF
his mental faculties. He is patient under
his sutferings and awaits the eno WIFI

It is to be hoped this Mayor Hoos new
plan Of dealing with the water specinca-
lions does not involve delay. 1t is not
quite plain why he abandoned the obvious
plan of a conference between himself ana
the two Boards concerned, at which op-
sections might be presented n answered
and difficulties eradicated. A general ex-
change Of views in such cases IS as a
rule the easiest road to progress.
AS we understand the situation, His
Honor now proposes to first let the
Boards commit themselves. and then come
in himself with objections and criticisms
in the form of a letter. perhaps a veto.
OF course. If The Mayor is opposed to
the entire policy of seeking q new supply
at this time, and means to block it. his
course is Ineligible, but really it is 9TH
erwise hard to understand what he is get
ting at.
We are fast drawing near the end of
1897. A year has been fooled and frit-
tered away. 1t will, under n circum-
stances, be nearly another year before any
contractor can men the operations
for the construction of new works for us.
How is the enterprise to be complete at
The time when our temporary contract ex-
pires with the century? There is a sort
of faulty about the shilly-shally manner
in which this supremacy important sub
ject is handled, both by the citizens and

LOOKING FOR HARMONY.
1Minkse and Leaguers Trying TO
Get Together.

AT the meeting of the Minkakwa Re-
publican Club, last evening", a committee
was appointed to meet a similar conimit-
tee from the League Club, on neural
grounds, with a view to bringing about
harmony between these two clubs. The
members of the committee are Robert
Carey, Judge Erwin, Alderman Fry, Ma
jor Armstrong and Charles Merker. A
Communication will be sent to the League
Club in time for its meeting next We'd
nesday evening, informing the secretary
that a committee of five has been APP
pointed by the "Minks'' and is ready TO
meet a committee from the League.
The Leaguers have not as yet appoint
ed a committee to act on the harmony
resolutions, but will DO SO at the meet
ing Wednesday evening. The two clubs
are now nearer together than they have
been for years, but whether the two
committees can come to an agreement or
not is very difficult to decide. 1t is ex-
pected that the fur will fly when the
committees meet over the choice OF q
chairman and secretary, and as neither
bound to be fun right at the start.

scopieally increased. and he municipality
was enriched with a vast number Of pub
lie improvements of all sorts.
The fact is, so far as Newark and Jer-
sey City are concerned, there is no po-
litical capital to be made OUT of city
nance in recent years. Newark has got
full value for its water debt. Jersey
City's financial affairs have been well
managed. 1t is only the malignant spirit
of Republican journalism, which prefers
to falsify rather than take honest credit,
that animates the Advertiser in distort-
ing and misstating the facts.

The daily experience of newspaper read
ers must be ample proof to them that it
is utterly impossible for a Republican
paper to address the public in appeal for
support without resorting to falsehood so
gross and outrageous as to be absolutely
laughable. Thus we find the State Gaz-
ette' assuring US that the Dingley Act
Is a revenue producer, while the Treas
r returns show that it is pilins up q
deficit vastly in excess of last year.
Thus we find the Evening Journal" tell
ing VI that crime is fostered In this coun-
~ by Democratic ~ascendency, while 1t
has specifically proven that the leaders
of h local Republican party and the
county machine are inextricably involved
in the policy game receive large
sums OF money for protecting it. Thus
we find the New York .Sun" shrieking
that the Mckinley Administration is con-
Quoting the Union Pacific negotiation in
the interest of the people on the very day
when the Administration stultifies itself
by postponing the sale, and complains of
public clamor, while the concession to
that clamor i-nstantaneously brings an
additional bid of eight millions Of dol
lara from the Administrators Wall

The Newark Advertiser under the
renexade MANAGEMENT of Colonel Jeffer-

be outdone either in folly or mendacity.
In an article published, yesterday, on

lowing occurred
Between 1890 and 1894 a large amount
Of municipal debt had been contracted.
Newark alone issued bonds for $6.000,000

City issued bonds for improvements, and
other cities added to their permanent
debts. Between 1880 and 1894 was a debt.

municipality, county and State.
When the Republicans came into power

create new debt except by urgent neces-
sity. Comparatively little municipal in

AS for the Newark water debt, 1t was.
in effect, all contracted at one time. when
the East Jersey contract was signed.
That is to say, that while the bonds may
not have all been issued at that time
By the way, is 1t not a fact that only

times was incurred. But when this con-
tract was made, the city was in the con-
troll of Republicans. 1t is true 1t had a

but he had little or no power. The direc-
tion Of affairs was in the hands of the
Council. which was strongly Republican.
As for Jersey City, a very small amount
Of debt was incurred from 1890 to 1882.

erection of a police station and a school
