play comes heraIded as one of Fronman's
greatest successes, and those who have
had the good fortune to see this play can
easily tell why this drama has created
such a favorable impression on the
theatre going-public. 1t is a military
drama of peculiar interest. literally inter-

presents excellent opportunities for capa-

WE congratulate the Street and Water
Board upon the wise resolve to invite
bids for filtration. The specifications
should be drawn in such a way as to in
vite, not repel, bidders. Ample time
should be allowed in advertising for pro-
posals, so that if there are any bona fide
projectors, who desire to submit their
plans to the city, they may lave ample
opportunity to do so.
One fault of former calls for bids has
always been that only about a month
was allowed for the bidders to pre-
pare in-that is, a month from the pub
hcation of the call to the day set for
receiving proposals. A month is alto
gether too short a time for anyone ex-
cept the East Jersey Water Company,
which is always ready. Anybody else
would have to draft plans, get estimates,
make elaborate calculations, and then
procure guarantees of the money neces-
sary to carry out She scheme. All this
takes time, and three months is none
too little. A short period plays directly
into the hands of the East Jersey Com

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER ., 1897.
This paper is Democratic in principles
snd is Independent in its vsescs on all local
exsstsosa4


Ex-President Cleveland recently made
to the assessors of Princeton a return of
all his property taxable at that place.
apparently nobody has seen he exact
figures, but the total is understood to be
in the neighborhood of Sl50,OOo. This has
caused some surprise because the Presi-
lent vas supposed to be a much richer
man.
The surprise is nonsensical. The vari-
Gus calculations in the paper which are
given as showing that Mr.. Cleveland
should be a millionaire are simply ridicu-
lous. They are reached by placing his
expenditures since he entered public life
impossib1y low and his savings impossi-
bly, high, and then adding an arbitrary
sum, the result presumably of specula-
ton.
OF course all such guessing is mere
cropping in the dark. Nobody knows
anything about it, and. to judge from
Mr.. Cleveland's usual uncommunicative-
ucSS, l1oDDQy ever va IL ID AiO haHfes
however, that the bright idea has never
entered anyone's mind that Mr.. Cleveland
owns a great deal of property which is
not taxable in Mercer county. N. j. For
instance, his place called Woodley. in the
outskirts of Washington is not assessable
al Princeton, and, naturally, Mr. Cleve-
land made no mention of it in his re-
turn. Equally, his famous country home,
Gray Gables, being situated on Buzzard's
Bay, Mass, is not taxable at Princeton.
Therefore, the value of these places, to-
gether with whatever they may contain
in the way of furniture, carriages, boats
or yachts. live stock or other property,
real or personal. would not be included
IN the return to the Princeton assessors.
Further, it is probable that Mr.. Cleve-
land has other property altogether t
side the State of New Jersey, which he
did not feel bound to report. One news
pape intimates that he has invested in
real estate. OF course if he has. that
property is taxable where located and no.
where else. He may also ave an ac-
count with q New York bank, and he
may have stocks and bonds m deposit
with some firm of bankers in that State.
On these. he would naturally not pay
taxes in New Jersey. Finally, there are
many classes of investment which are by
law exempt from taxation, and he may
have more or less money in these.
Altogether, 1t takes a big craving for
sensation and very little regard for the
possibilities of investment, to enable yell
low papers to fill screaming columns over
Mr.. Cleveland's $3.50, 900 appraisal of his
property subject to tax in his new home.
