The grip which the East Jersey Water
monopoly has upon the Republican State
machine is well shown in the ~humbugging
policy of delay which has been adopted
regarding the subject of Passaic pollution.
When there was some danger of a bill
to check pollution passing. a commission
was appointed.
That Commission took a year, and made
a report-a very good one, by the way.
Then the Legislature referred that re-
port to a committee.
That committee tool another year and
has just made another report.
1t recommends that still another COM
mission be appointed.
The new commission is to AXE a year
and make a third report.
Meanwhile, East Jersey calmly informs
Jersey City that it owns all the water in
the State n nobody else can give a
supply.
1t also notifies the city that the con-
ditions must be framed TO suit it, before
It will consent to give a supply.
Great is the G. o. P.

The "Journap. DefeDe- "a. rrse-
bolders.

The Journal showed its vicious indif-
tisanship in an article published yester-
day. in which the Grand Jury was sour
rilously attacked for indicting the Board
of Freeholders. incidentally, the yalier
sheet came out against any reform in the
county's affairs by opposing the. bill now
pending in the Legislature for the aboli-
tion of the present Board and the substi-
tuition of a commission, and also the bill
to turn over the control Of the Boulevard
to a special body of custodians.
The utterly unscrupulous method of at
tack which the Journal adopts is to
represent the rumored indictments as a
political move. having reference to the
approaching spring election. It says
the Boulevard in good condition would
please the bicycIists who frequent that
thoroughfare, ana possibly influence the
wheelmen vote. If the accused Freehold
ers could get off with a fine, Indictment
might not be SO terrible after all.
The Democrats are anxious to win at
the April elections.
OF course the Democrats are anxious to
win. OF course hey ought TO win. and
Of course the malfeasant conduct Of the
Board of Freeholders in the hands Of its
Republican majority is an Overwhelming
argument in favor of Democratic victory.
No doubt wheeimen will be pleased il

AS before stated, the bill has alreaoy

Hence the plans TO offset at once the

the same time give the Legislature a rea-
son for the passage OF the bills.
The pending bills are wise measures
framed in the public interest. Five men
are safer in control of the county's af-
fairs than twenty-six. because tive men
may be held responsible by the people,
while it is plain that among twenty-six
all responsibility is lost. AS for the

longs-on the side of the thieves and ras-
