TRAPS FOR THE UNWARy.
Deplorable Condition of Kensington
and Belmont Avenues.

0tR4OkhU1S OBANAeAOAA Va A&SAA6SS
and Belmont Avenues.
Much poor paving may be done In this
city but it is doubtful if any worse samples
then the paving of Kensington and Belmont
avenues can be found. at the intersection of
both Of these street and the Boulevard there
is no pavement. The streets are paved with
Belgian blocks to within about forty feet of
the Boulevard leaving the rest of the street
bare.
These spots are very dangerous ePecially
at night. Deep mud-holes await theNlnwary
and should a bicycle rider venture to go
over either of those spots it is an even
chance that he will meet with a serious az
cident. Why the street for the full length
was not paved is a thing that many people
cannot understand. The plans in the office
of the Street and Water Board and the petit
lions only call for the paving of the street
for that distance.
Clerk George Bouton said that he thought
it was a very careless piece of work allowing
the street to be paved that distance without
going the whole lenght. He further said
that no such work would be allowed at the
present time. The paving OF the thorough
fares was completed in 1891 and since then
then unpaved ends have renamed in dam
perous conditions. 1t was owing to the OBJ
Iiections of some of the property owners that
the paving was not carried out to the flu
length of both streets.

tGazette's' hysterical young editor think
Of this view Of the case?
Finally, the Mercer county ~oficeholder,
who scribbles twaddling paragraphs for
the New York Press over the signature
"~Freeholder," has his say on the subject.
This odd logician sees in the alleged fact
that vice-President Hobart and the Mar
row Gauge Attorney General have urged
Senator sewell to remain in the Senate, a
proof that they have not put up a job on
him in inducing the President to present
him with a commission. The deduction
may BIZ clear to "~Freeholder." To us
the premises tend pretty surely to the
opposite conclusion. But, of course,
when politics are interpreted through
the medium of a salary warrant, they
take on a color which the eye of the I'M
initiated never perceives.
Now. for ourselves. we sincerely and
honestly sympathize with General Sewell.
We regard him as the victim of a sneak
ING TICK, concocted In the mouse OF MS
cwn friends and allies. We know he is
a brave man. We know he is a good sol
der. We know that no lack of courage
or fighting instinct would keep him at
home. We are not yet sure that he will
stay at home. Even if he does, we will
recognize that he succumbs to a tempta-
ton which would overcome most men of
his age and position. So far as w are
concerned, we should never be likely to
cast his action up against him in the fu-
ture. But there are others who will not
be so f~orbearing, and some of them are
right in his own party. Good samples are
the men who laid the trap for him.. Just
wait and see.

Employees nf Carr-Curran Paper Mill
Threaten Violence.

There is trouble in the Carr-Curran pa
per mill at Eighth and Grand streets, Ho-
boken. The men who were employed
there struck yesterday because they have
not been paid any money in weeks. The
men are in an ugly mood. and openly
threaten to set fire to the mill unless
they receive their money. Last night
they threatened to do bodily harm to
John c. Carr and A. w. Harrington, the
manager of the mill.
The Carr-Curran paper mills has had
a turbulent existence. The owners of the
mill are John @. Carr, formerly one o.
the big Four of the Gutenberg race

it is said, Mayor Pagan. It has been shut
down nearly a dozen times in the past
six months. On two occasions applica-

that this last difficulty will be fatal {

ant Secretary Roosevelt and submitted to
Congress with an exhaustive report,
which all the ~ewspape in the country,
Irrespective of party, printed and praised
about three months ago. h bin recon-
structs the corps of officers Of the Navy
on new lines. 1t abolishes many existing
inequalities and grievances. Above all It
abolishes the stagnation in promotion,
which has long been a crying evil of the
service. not only on account Of its injus-
tice to the finest body of Naval officers in
the world, but also because it impaired
their usefulness in the command grades.
The measure has been in the hands of
the Naval Committee Of the House OF
Representatives since the opening Of the
present session. 1t has been somewhat
modified so as to include the officers of
the Marine corps, and to meet one or two
minor objections that were raised to its
provisions. 1t is now believed to be in
perfect shape. 1t is satisfactory to offi-
GERS of all ranches and grades. 1t has
the approval Of the Department. Experts
regard it as establishing the best possible
system. 1t has just been reported to the
House, and now comes the news that it
probably VIII not pass this session.
If the statement be true, the delay is
certainly a disgrace to Congress and to
the party responsible for the delay. The
objection to the bill appears to be that
it involves a slightly increased expendi-
ture. But in these days, when we nave
money to burn for everything from for
eign war to backing a canal company, 1t
is a poor sort of economy which leaves
the gallant defenders of the country UNI
derpaid and underclassed, and refuses to
the service a reform which has been de-
manded for ten years.
The future power of this country, more
than of any other on the globe except
England, depends upon the Navy. We
are increasing our establishment in ships
and guns. We are enlisting more men.
We are going TO acquire foreign rendez-
vous for our squadrons. The problem OF
bringing the commanding element into
modern shape is becoming more and more
urgent. 1t is probable that no better plan
will ever be devised than that OF Mr..
Roosevelt, n certainly no time will ever
be found when a slight increase OF outlay
in favor of the men who fought our battles
will be more popular than today. Tne
question is not one which the public can
be actively stirred up over, on account OF
its technically; but it is very certain that
they will heartily endorse any litigation
which they are told, on expert authority,
does justice and no more than justice to
the officers, and at the same time pro-
notes the efficiency of the service.
The bill should be taken up and passed
by both Houses at once.

General sewelrs Indisoreet Friends.

Several newspapers of the 'sorganP
stamp have attacked "The News and
other Democratic papers for their COM
ments on the sewell episode. From the
vinegary tone of their remarks, we judge
that they are badly hurt by the STAB
which the Paterson gang have inflicted
upon the Camden warrior and incidentally
upon the G.. Q. P.
Some of the organs are discreet in their
harding of the subject. They avoid diff

safe and harmless. Others are indiscreet
