The Indictment Of East Jersey.

One of the grossest abuses of legal pro-
time is the indictment Of the East Jersey
Water Company in Bergen county. The
charge is Of farcicaI character 1t is
Of creating a nuisance by diverting the
waters of the Passaic River near their
sources to such an extent that there is
not water enough in the lower reaches
of the stream to carry off the sewage
of Paterson.
Just why the City of Paterson, which
is the real criminal, should not have. been
indicted, it is hard to imagine. This com
munity has recklessIy and lawlessiy con-
structed its sewers SO as to drain into the
river. Not even the rights of Jersey City
and Newark have eyer been successfully
pressed against 1T, when both cities drew
their water supply from the stream at
Belleville. The Bergen County Grand
Jury has repeatedly refused to indict even
such petty criminals as the dye and
chemical works owners, who have done
50 much to poison the stream.
The amount of water which the East
Jersey Company takes from the river,
some sixty to sixty-five million gallons a
day, cannot have any serious effect on

over ten per cent. of the volume of the

Evening POST says:
Trivial and contemplate as these
charges may be in the estimation of
many intelligent and reputable men, they
would inevitably be pressed to the front
by the Democrats with such persistence
that all other issues would be put In. the
background, and the result of the cleo
ton would turn upon them almost en-
tirely.
For an ultra-moral paper, the Post
says some queer things. We would like

THERE are many odd points of resem-
blance in the candidatures Of Theodore
Roosevelt and Foster M. VOORHEES,. Both
are Independents. but both have been
nominated by boss dictation; both belong
to the holier-than-thou class, but both
have managed to keep in Office and in
good odor with the machine.
Finally, there is grave doubt as to the
eligibility Of both. for the Offices for which
they are candidates.
