GreenviIIe Schwabs Still Talking
About Their Fest.

Although the members Of the Schwaben
yerein Of Greenviale have abandoned the
idea of ever holding another fest, sey-
eral members of that well known organ
ization have repeatedly said that the
failures in recent years were due to the
negligence of those who had the affairs
in hand. One member remarked that on
two occasions the verein went to need
less expense in order to perfect the fest
plans.
-Four hundred dollars were spent to
build that fruit column in Sehuetzen
Park, Greenville,v remarked a member.
and now It il the biggest kind of 4

Gorernor voorhees' opportnnity.

In an editorial last Sunday. the New
ark "Cal" said
II Is the excellent custom of Governors
Of New Jersey to present some one Dues
ron Of public policy in their "
addresses, and we presulne
Unfortunately. in talking with newspa-
per men this week, the G~overnor-eaect IN
timated that he had nothing particular 70
say TO the people. The most notable sub
iect he could him of for discussion IN MS
Inaugural address appeared to De the
publication Of the Passaic, and this, al
though of vast local consequence, can
hardly be classed as a great question OF
State.
The "Call' suggests that Mr.. voorhees,
has before him a great opportunity IN TINS
address. SO he has. He can declare Tor
economy in State Expenditures. He can
do so in such a way as to show the Leg
islature that he means what he says. de
can insist that if money is to be spent by
the handful, 1t shall go into such needed
public works as the Railway Reformatory
and shall not be employed in making the
Supreme and chancery Court Clerks
ohices and other similar departments
hives of Republican s~inecurists.
Another thing that Mr.. voorhees, can do
is declare against the carnival of Office
grabbing which appears to be in contem-
plation by the leaders and bosses of the
majority in the coming Legislature. II
ne declares against Police and Fire De-
partment raids in this city and Newark
and makes it plain that his veto viii be
launched against such schemes of plumber
he will win golden opinions indeed, and
VIII nske good the dictum of the Call"
that his inaugural address affords him a
great opportunity.

Passaic Pollution.

Governor-elect Voorhees, has placed
himself on record upon a subject which
will win him many friends in Jersey City.
In an interview had with him at Eliza
beth, on Wednesday, he distinctly de-
clared that something must be done
without delay to abolish the pollution of
the Passaic River. He spoke of the mat
ter as one of the most serious questions
now before the people of New Jersey
and said that it affected over a million
OF population.
He was most emphatic in his talk. and
il is to be hoped he car be relied upon
10 do all in his power to do away with
the great evil.
TT is a pity to see the Tribune. de-
scend to such mere blackguardism as
this:-
Nc, the members Of the Democratic
combine 1s,n IT. Jersey City have not made
Christmas presents which they have re-
ceived from grateful benefciaries Of ring
rule.
If the Tribune has any evidence, even
trifing, that such presents were made. it
should as a matter Of duty make it pub
lie. II it has no evidence, it has no war
rant for the innuendo. IFS own foul mag
innings are neither Of interest nor import
ance.
If It had any evidence, it may be added.
It would print it in big type under flaming
headlines. Tha it confines itself to an
innuendo is the best proof that there is
not a title OF ground for its suggestion.
