sympathy they would not otherwise

While the miners are not in any way
responsible for Mr.. Debs' speech the ur-
thinking general public will lump the
two together. SO to speak 1t will tend to
convey In some quarters the very err
roneous impression that there is gem
eral and organized conspiracy on the
part Of organized labor to overthrow
the whole system Of our government.
Mr.. Debs cannot take the masses of
the American workingmen with him on
any such line of policy as that outlined
in his st. Louis speech. The masses OF
the American laboring class are law
abiding. They want only what belongs
to them by right, and they do not adj
vocate violence as an agency in righting
wrong.

THE MARTYR

I want to be a martyr
And with the martyrs stand,
For martyrs have it easy
In this crank-breeding land.
They used to kill the martyrs,
But that was long ago;
Today the martyr is on top
At last he stands a show.
o, let me martyr,
A martyr night and day,
For I am sick of working
In the old, old-fashioned way.
I want to be a martyr,
To yawp and whoop and prate;
Then l can take it easy,
While others pay the freight!

Frank Clark-A serious Loss to Jer-
sey City.

The death of Frank Clark, apart from
the lamentable circumstances under
which it took place, is deeply to be re-
GREETED. on account of the loss which
the community sustains. Mr.. Clark was
one OF our few enterprising and progress
sive citizens. and to his efforts we owe
the opening up and settlement of a
beautiful and valuable section OF the
city. It was he who first took up the
old yreeland avenue as a leading thor
oughfare. Under tie name of Arlington
avenue. he had it opened. widened and
graded. Then he urged the establishment
OF the Arlington avenue station on the
Newark and New York road. Rapid
building followed. Now there are a cou-
pie of hundred houses, many of them
handsome and costly ones. within a rad
goat pasturage ten years ago. An Incl
dental result of Mr.. Clark's effort is the
creation of the Eastern Driveway con-
Bayonne.
If we had a few more men like Frank
Clark, Jersey City would go ahead rap
idly,-men who are not afraid to give
their time n energy to the advance
ment of public objects, nor their money
when it is needed. Above all, we need
men who. like him will take the san
guine side, who believe in the future of
the city and of the certainty of return
from money invested in pushing it along.
A glance back at Mr.. Clark's public
services makes the tragedy of his death
even gloomier than it is in itself 1t is
the irony of fate, indeed, that one who
was SO confident in his views IN private
affairs should at last ave lost hope in his

Injunction Sought Affecting the
Metropolitan Loan Co.

There is trouble among the trustees of
the Metropolitan Loan Trust n Savings
Company of Newark, and a consequence
thereof Colonel e. L. Price, representing
the dissatisfied ones, came before Vice.
Chancellor Stevens this morning to ask
for an Injunction restraining the Board
of Directors and certain stockholders
from effecting certain change as in the
proceedings of the company at their an
nual meeting. which they say will injure
the rights of the compliments.
The bill filed has several issues raised.
one of which is to prevent the transfer
of certain stock. Another thing sought
is to prevent the compan from removing
their books from Newark: and taking
them out of the jurisdiction of the
Courts Of New Jersey. A third request
is that the Court of Chancery shall re-
strain any attempt to pay over certain
monies from one account to another,
and finally that a batch Of proxies shall
not be admitted at the annual election,
and these nnual elections shall not be
changed.
These, said Colonel Price, were the
main points of the bill; the details would
be known when the bill was read, and
that is next Monday. BY consent of ex-
Judge Howard Hayes the argument on
the rule to show cause was postponed
