sprtnkliup with OIL.

Last Wednesday the West Jersey &
Seashore r. R. Co. tried the experiment
OF sprinkling their roadbed with crude
petroleum as a remedy for the dust
nuisance. A tank car was run over the
track and the petroleum sprayed to a
width of several feet on each side of the
rails, in the same way that the ordinary
street sprinkler vets the streets. The
oil sticks or ''cakes" the dust and pre-
vents it from being blown up by the
draught created by swift-moving
train. If the experiment proves success
full, and it is believed it will, one of the
discomforts of railway travel in hot
weather will be greatly lessened.

The Review Dare Not.

The appearance of one OF the editors OF
PRESS at meeting of the Atlantic City
Council, last week, to report the pro-
oeedings, for the benefit of it's subscribers,
instantaneously threw the Review, OF
that city, into a fit of the Jim jams and
it saw "aakes" all around it's bailiwick
one of which was that the PRESS was
the newspaper organ of what the Review
chooses to call the Combine" of its City
| Council. For the benz fit of the Review
we will again repeat that the PRESS is
no mans organ. Unlike the Review it
owns itself and takes orders from no
clique or clan. 1t gathers current news
of men and events as it tinds it, and it
don't have to submit a proof-sheet to
some boss or politician for permission to
print it. The PREss-throueh it's Allan
tic City correspondence, has sustained
the action of the Combine" when we
believed it to be right. The voters of
Atlantic City have done the same-so no
apology is necessary. If the Combine
goes wrong the PRESS will say SO with
out fear or favor. Did the Review ever
dare to do such a thing without consult
ing somebody? Ifso we never heard of
it, We do know it remained silent when
it's own Combine" was engaged in
pntting through some jobs the people
would have been glad to have heard
something about. But the Review is an
organ, and it cannot be expected to
understand how a newspaper can have
opinions of it's own, or tell the truth
concerning all public questions and con-
tinue to live. The Review thinks it
scents new deal all around, and fears a
combined Combine" comprising the
city and county with the PRESS as it's
organ. AS usual it is wrong-we are
not the organ of any Combine, big or
little; but we shall commend or condemn
according as all the Combines" do good
or bad. Dare the Review do the same?

The Pro*ectionist Performance.

The following is a part of Exon
gresham John De Witt Warmers criti.
cis1n of the Dingley bill:
GAS it stands the most brilliant part
Of the pending performance consists in
eating the words Of the same actors in
the Fifty first congress. The Mckinley
bill of that date was virtually entitled
a bill to reduce revenues. The Dingley
bill is specially commended as revenue
gettcr. The Mckinley bill pointed with
pride to the poor mans free breakfast
table. The Dingley bill puts upon sugar
"a single item Of the breakfast table
one third of the total amount of the
tariff tax proposed. The items which
are supposed to help the farmer are good
examples Of SO setting your trap as to
'cotch 'em a-cu1nin and a-gwine. For
instance, we have reciprocity in order
to give the farmers market abroad for
what it is assumed they cannot produce
for home consumption unless they are
highly protected, as is done by another
section of the bill }ss

OF the 20 annual encampments OF tbs

It is little remarkable that the G. A.
R. has never yet held al annual encamp
lnent in New York city. The reason is
that no great effort has ever been made
to induce them to do SO. It is from New
York city that most Of the nabobs hail
who call the veterans "bummers. - It
does not seem that many Of the rich
men Of New York ever wore the blue, OF
they would have more decency toward
those who did. They Or their fathers
were probably at home making money
off the government while the ones who
are now veterans did the fighting aaf;
got hard knocks and poor pay.
