our TWO East Jersey contracts.

In our news columns, today, will be
found an interesting chapter on the East
Jersey Water Contract. 1t lets in a flood
of light on the situation and establishes
new and Overwhelming reasons why May
or Wanser should veto the contract. We
do not mean the report Of Expert Raj
ter. which is about as important as
.sWho-is-Kent's' brief in favor of the
mean the disclosures regarding the status
of the temporary supply.
Here is the way the matter stands: The
East Jersey Water Company has shut
down upon all consumption of water by
the City of Newark over and above the
amount allowed by its contract, tina is
to say. 1880, 900 gallons per diem. 1t has
started a negotiation for the continuance
of the present status until 1915. As the
Newark contract stands, that city should
take the PeQuannock works for itself in
1900, and all East Jerseys interest in
them would cease at that time. Under the
proposed deal, the company's use of their
surplus would be prolonged for fifteen
years. which would make it run from
the present time just eighteen years al
together.
This surplus 1t now sells to US as a
temporary supply at the rate of s4S a
million gallons. We use about 25,OO0.0 900
gallons a day on an average the year
through. Therefore, the sale of the sur
plus to us means an average income of
s1,075 a day or sas2,375 a year to the COM
pany. If this rate of payment can be
continued for eighteen years, it means
that Jersey City win have to pay $7,062, $50
to the company. or s1,Os2, $50 more than
Newark has to pay for the complete
ownership of the Pequannoek system. 1t
win be clean profit, too, for the company
has spent nothing to earn it beyond what
was necessary to carry out its contract
with Newark. except the pscayune ex-
pense of a pipe to reach u Belleville
works.
Now. It may be asked, what has all this
to do with the permanent supply. Why
just this. that to award the contract to
the East Jersey Water Company at this
time Is to set a premium upon its nom
fulilment. Even assuming that the
company had TO pay a forfeit of $500 a
day for fifteen of the eighteen years, for
failure to carry out the permanent con-
tract, It would only be out s,095, 600 there
by. If 1t had the permanent works
ready to deliver at the close of 1915, this
is the way its account would stand on
the entire deal with this city,

A Currency Commission Urged.

A currency commission which shall
frame a plan for the general revision of
the currency system of the United States
seems likely to be the next step of the new
administration, after the passage of the
tariff bill, which will probably take place
before the end of the month. 1t is I'M
derstood in Washington that the Presi-
dent will, soon the tariff bill passes
the Senate, send special message to Con-
gress urging the creation of commission
which shall devise a plan for the general
revision of the currency system of the
country in time for consideration by Con-
gress when it meets in its regular session

Can't Be Fooled Every Time.

Some people can be fooled once or
twice, but very few more than that. Mr..
Bryan in his speeches last fall asserted
that the forty-two million dollars neces-
sary to keep pace with the growth of pop
ulation in the United States could not be
produced since the suspension of free
coinage of silver, and quoted Senator
Sherman in support of his theory that this
amount was necessary to be added to the
currency of the country each year. He
was undoubtedly right in his quotation of
Senator Sherman, but both inaccurate and
misleading in assuming that this amount
of currency cannot be and is not added
to the circulating medium of the country
by means of its present facilities The
COMA ge of the mints of the country in the
year which ends with the present month
will be, in round numbers, one hundred
million dollars, three-fourths of it gold,
while that of the calendar year 1896 was
ninety-nine million dollars Add TO this
the fact that the money in circulation
to-day is S13S, 600, 600 more than it was
a year ago and it viii be seen that Mr..
Bryan's statements in this, well as
in many other things, were, to say the
least misleading
