age laborer.-"Tribune.
/. They do not deserve to carr as much.
The profession is overcrowded every
where. So are all the professions. There
are far too many lawyers, DOCTORS, clergy
men. journalists and politicians. There
are too many ~non-producers in the world.
They are the curse of the age.

Hudson's Democratic Assemblymen are
going to kick up a great dust over their
so-called Equal Taxation bill. The pur-
pose of this is to compel the railroad
companies to contribute more than they
now do to the support of Jersey City's
municipal observation-disclosures
The purpose is to make the railroads
pay their fair and equal share of the
public expenses-nothing more, nothing
less. What is the "~Tribune's'' objection.
There will not be much dust raised by
the Democratic As~semblymen. Dust is
the weapon Of the railroads-in more
ways thar one. The Tribune" supple
menfs the above remarks with the fol-
lowing
What they intend doing about legisla-
ton to compel all citizens to pay their

We would recommend h Tribune" to
have one of it's bright young men inter-
view city Collector Simeon H. Smith o n
this point. There is ample law. and it
is "up to him" AS a good Republican
he would no doubt cheerfully enlighten

For ourselves, we are glad to say that
Mr.. Smith is doing well with the collec-
ton of taxes and means to do better at
an early day. BY the way, there are

Question No. /, why do so men
of good moral and business standing
maintain an attitude of Indifference to-
wards the church,"
How could moral men be expected to
tolerate such malignant prejudice or
business men to waste their time listen
ing to such stupidity and ignorance?
What idea of the city have men like
Mr.. Swaffield who stand up n Willy it
as he did in this abominable discourse?
What Is the quality of their minds which
causes them to regard all things around
them as doomed to perdition? What is
their special gift which makes it impos-
sible for them to blink their eyes with
out seeing moral horrors2
How is it that their noses are so much
more keen for rottenness than other peo-
pies? Is it that they are better han
the rest of us-or worse?

HORSES TALKED ABOUT
Voter Surprises His Owner and
Everybody Else.
Unusual Interest In Pacers-A New
Pilot for Gentry and Robert j.

Voter, the winner of the Metropolitan
Handicap, Is the recipient Of an unusual
amount of attention. Many people think
that the horse named The Winner should
have won, and would like TO see another
race between these two contestants. Mr..
Keene, tho owner OF Voter, evidently un-
derestimated the worth Of his speedy colt,
for the latter was not entered in either the
Brooklyn or Suburban handicap. While
the race run and won by Voter was superb,
when considered from a time standpoint,
10 nevertheless failed to satisfy followers
Of racing
A handicap that permits Of one horse
leading from flag fall 10 finish Is not
good one and a ten horse spring handicap
at mile, hoasting two 3-year -olds, where
In one Of the youngsters finishes first and
the other third, is u handicap in name
only. Voter closed the season Of 1896 with
the promise of developing into grand
3-year-old, and Casseopia was quite
handy filly In her 2-year-old form. Had
both been assigned little moro weight in
the Metropolitan, their stables would prob
ably have accepted the imposts and a bet
ter looking race would have resulted.
Tho great PAGERS are the subjects of
much consideration. Ii Is a notable fact
that Mr.. Tcwksbury has chosen for the
pilot Of his wonderful pair, Gentry and
Robert j, a man named Ed Bovine, who
never drove to victory any more remark
able horse than Mahogany record 2:l2L,
and who did not enter the professional
ranks until 1891 1t rs said that instead

The three uen displaced were Stonrns,

Managers still Troubled Over the Tides

Tho recent decision 10 row two OF the

SO much dissatisfaction that the proposed

"At Poughkoepsie they said the other

til 1880 o'clock, and that the race can
