DYNAMITE FOR TIE GOVERNMENT
Fire Commissscners Will Let 1t Pass
hrOug the city.

At the meeting of the Fire Commission
ers last evening a communication was re-
ceived from the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company setting forth that the company
was about to receive 10000 pounds of
dynamite, coming east. which will have
to pass through this city to reach Its
destination, which is Bath. Me-, and ask
ing for a permit to handle the same.
It is said tina the dynamite is to be used
for Government purposes and is being
rushed on to Bath as fast as possible.
No one seems to know where 1t is coming
from and the communication did not
state whence it had been shipped. The
Commissioners granted the company a
permit to handle the dangerous stun
while it passes through this city.
Superintendent Arrowsmith reported that
there were a number of horses unfit for
duty and ordered that they be sold. COM
missioner Brennan asked that there be
two more four-ineh fire hydrants placed
in the vicinity of Exchange place, and
the Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners were requested to place in SER
vice the two new MIGRANTS. They will be
located in the following places:-One in
the vicinity of the First National Bank
and the other directly opposite on Ex-
change place.
John Anderson, who was appointed at
the previous meeting as stoker of En-
CINE Company No. 5, has been examined
and was reported fit for duty. Chief Con-
way reported that the explosives that are
stored by the c. A. Woolsey Paint Works
on Grand street are in a very dangerous
locality. The above report was ordered
given to the proper committee and some
action will be taken upon 1t before next
Wednesday night. An idea Of what Is
stored in the wooden buildings and around
the premises is given below:-Twenty bar
rels of benzine. twenty barrels of turpen-
tine, two barrels of kerosine, seven cur
boys of muriated acid n fifty barrels
of paint. besides a large quantity of resin.
The report of the Chief Engineer for
the week ending April IS showed that ten
alarms had been received, of which six
were by telegraph. The meeting then adj

WEST SIDE CITIZENS ORGANIZE.

It is thought that before another week
passes a West Side improvement Associa-
ton will be In full sway. The citizens of
the west side are ~agitating a movement
to organize an association whereby the
property owners Of the west side will be
benefited in the way of improvements.
This organization is not to be run in OPP
position to the recently organized Citizens
Improvement of Greenville, but it is in
ended to have both associations work
tremendously. and in this manner more
improvements secured. The first meeting
for the purpose of organizing a permanent
association will probably be held about
the latter part of e week. The League
Club has most generously offered them
the use of its club house for the meet
ings. The offer has been accepted.

ST. PAUL'S KINDERGARTEN.

The entertainment which was given for
two nights by the children of st. Paul's

The same programme as that of the night
before was given, and the children went
through their parts even better than the
first night.
The proceeds. which are entirely salts
factory, will go toward the church fund

THE Evening Post" keeps on hafp'ns
ON our lack of preparation for war; Il
speaks. With much regrettible truth
about the inferior drill and equipment OF
our National Guard in many States. IL
dwells on the smallness of our army and
its ~antiquated organization. 1t insists
upon our lack of arms and ammunition
for a great war.
It is all toe. true. We DO not think It IS
true enough to make a war with SPAN
dangfLus, but it would be serious If we
hadfl cssols with a frst-class power.

In time of peace. it is folly to waste
money on preparation for trouble. which,

THE Tribune also comments on the
vote on the park bonds in Newark. 1t
says
The woful lack of interest among voters
on matters of Importance suggests itself
to the most superficial analyst of last
Tuesdays election figures in the two lead
ing cities of New Jersey-Newark and
Jersey City. By long odds the question
of most m submitted to the citizens
of Newark and Essex county was that
relating to the issue of 81, 500,0 coo of park
bonds. Strange as it may seem, more
than half of the persons who voted for
one or other of the Mayoralty candidates
~refrained from voting at all on the park
bond issue.
This fact simply shows the insanity of
the referendum idea. The people refrained
from voting. not out of lack of Interest,"
but because they felt that they had not
a clear enough understanding ofthe-ques-
ton to vote wisely.
There is nothing more absurd than to
submit to popular vote matters which
should be dealt with only by experts. The
people are conscious of the folly of the
proceeding. They electe4experts to the
Legislature and to executive offices to
examine and pass upon just such mat
tiers, and they are rather irritated than
otherwise at having the questions re-
ferred back to them for crude and in
expert decision.

Th. on the Election.
There is q point at which political per-
versity becomes shameful dishonesty In
newspapers. il is the point at which
proven f~aIsehoods are spread abroad as
truth.
The "Tribune'' gives US an illustration
this morning 1t says
Had the Republican vote been brought
out last TUESDAY i IS reasonable 70 as
have been defeated
.sThe Naws" showed from the actual
figures yesterday that this was not true.
II showed that the falling off in the
yote-the stay-at-home vote-was about
the same from the Democratic and from
the Republican party. In spite of this
the Democracy gained the day by an in
creased plurality of about 500 votes.
The tribune goes on to say that the
Republican leaders see in the small vote
poIled 4 fresh argument in favor of abol-
fshing spring elections. This is nonsense.
,rhe vote was large relatively to the inn
portance of the offices to be filed. It
would have been most lamentable to have
had these petty local matters embarrass-
ing the issues in the great Congressional
and G-ubernatorial election of the fall.
Take, for instance, the capelli-Fagan
row. Would it not be deplorable that the
entire fate of the State should be in
volyed in such a nasty little local
squabble.. Yet this is precisely whai
would have been the case had the Nc.
Arthur bill prevailed. In fact, there
was an election which more clearly proved
fhe necessity for separating local and
political contests than this one.
As for the smanness Of the vote, It Il
! matter Of no Importance. The people
stay Ut home because they feel that tht
ia which they favor i sure to win. =
