TnENEW WARD LINES.
Aldermen VIII Pass the Ordinance
Tomorrow Night.

There will be. a regular meeting of the
Board of Aldermen Tuesday evening. The
ordinance changing the ward lines will be
be put through by a strict party vote.
There are not enough Republicans in the
Board to impede the passage of the ordi-
nance. Alderman w. H. yerniiye. leader
of the minority. may attack the ordinance,
but he says ne knows it viii be impossible
for him to win a vote against the meas
ure. AS soon as the ordinance is passed
resolutions fixing the precinct lines will
be offered for passage. The creation of
new precincts lines is a hereulean task
and City Clerk OsDonnell has been a week
fixing them: In every instance the pre-
cinet men of the County Committee have
been consulted as to changes which should
be made.
The Aldermen, too. have made sugges-
tons, so thai it is now thought that the
new lines are as perfect as 1t is possible
to get them. In mapping out the new lines
place as easy of access as possible. Under
the old lines polling places were tucked
off in some out of the way corner OF the
precinct so as to cause voters as much IN
convenience as possible. This was par
ticularly true in soli5ly Democratic wards
In October. when nominations are made.
the County Committee will be reorganized
to conform to the new lines. h new
lines create eight new precincts, so that
there will be an increased representation
in the County Committee. It Is said that
when the County Committee is reorgan-
lied an entirely new set of officers. with
the exception Of p. Fl. Murphy, secretary,
Will be chosen.

The School Repair Sensation

The effort of the Evening Journal TO
work up a sensation over the omission OF
an appropriation for school repairs from
the Budget is a dastardly piece OF men
daciousness. Everyone knows-even the
s.Journalp carpet baggers must nave
learned by this time-that money appro-
priated in the budget Just adopted could
NOT be available for school repairs, or any
pther purpose, this summer.
Everyone knows that the Budget made
up in July is for the fiscal year beginning
on December !. following. Any money
which the Board of Finance might awe
appropriated at this time would be avail
able for use in the summer of 1899. If
the Board of Education attempted to an
tieipate it now, they would be liable to in
dictment
This being the case, and the Journal
very well knowing it to be the case, its
deliberate daily misstatements on the sub
1ect belong to the same class of disgrace
full falsifcations as the libels on Charles
nj. winfield and Sheriff Heller. the attack
on the Rev. DR.. s%toddard, the Bayonne
Martin Act fctions and other displays OF
yellowness which nave appeared in the
yellow sheet since it passed into Hacken-
sack control
There is no doubt that the sum of $4,000
asked for school repairs is extravagant.
All the schools are in very tolerable order,
and it will be no very great harm if no
repairs are made this summer. There IS
nothing very urgent to be done and $1,000
to 10000 would cover every desirable i'm
provement. Perhaps if the School Direc-
tors would come down to earth and ask
some moderate sum, the F%inanciers might
be able to find it by transfer. The
F~inanciers showed great liberality to the
Board in its appropriation 1t is an item
of great magnitude in the city's expenses,
and while nobody grudges the money, the
taxpayers are naturally d~esirous of see
ing all possible economy exercised.

The public would greatly like to know
what is the present status of the Mont
gomery street paving job. About a year
ago a contract to pave the street on q
concrete base from Hudson to Warren
street was awarded to the Sheridan &
Shea CO. That concern frittered away all
the time allowed for the work and then
brazenly began it simultaneously with a
demand for extension. After paving one
side from Hudson to Greene street, it
threw up the sponge and then the city
took the matter in hand and paved the
block from Green to Washington street.
This seems to have exhausted its vitality
and the enterprise remains now in its in
completeness, a monument of bad faith in
the contractors and imbecility on the part
of the city authorities.
The south side of the block between
Hudson and Greene streets is in hideous
rendition. 1t is covered with what Messrs.
Sheridan & Shea were pleased to call a
temporary pavement Lie noilu ShuS,
which the Sheridan & Shea concern
paved, has caved in in several places, as
has also the city pavement between
Greene and Washington.
The street intersection at Greene is
still covered with the old cobbles and it
is three inches below the new grade. At
washington street, the new level is six
Inches higher than the old, and vehicles
have TO just climb up or bump down over
p sort of jumping-off place where the old
and new pavements meet. No attempt
has been made even to begin repairs from
Washington to Warren street.
This is August l. We would like to
know If nothing more is to be done about
this work of extreme necessity between
now and the next frost The public
would like to know. too, and especially
the property owners and storekeepers
along the line. Taxpayers would also like
to know whether legal steps have been
taken to punish the Sheridan & Shea Co.
for their gross breach Of faith.

Mt. HOLLY. Aug. /, 1S9S.-The political
humidity in this part of the Second Con-
gressional district seems to have sud-
denly disappeared within the past few
days. and the Republican workers are no
longer complaining. It is q well-known
fact that the trouble that has been brew
Ing in the Republican camp all along was
caused by Congressman Gardner's fail
ure to remove certain Democratic office
holders and fill their places with Repub-
leans. The principal bone of contention
was the Burlington postofhce, which is
still held by a Democrat. George D..
Wetherill, whose term expired in May.
The two Republican aspirants for the po-
sition are ~ex-Sherif N. w. C. Hays and
David ". Holmes. But there has been
no light between them, each being salts
fed TO AVE the powers that pc make the
appointment according to their ideas of
the eternal fitness of things. This makes
the long delay in the matter all the more
aggravating to the Republicans.
Another case is that of h Pemberton
postoflee. where a Democrat is still on
duty. There were also other instances of
neglect. all of which were laid at Mr..
Gardeners door. and gave rise to the
movement to AVE ex-Assemblyman
George Wildes, ofiNew Hanover, take the
field against him for the Congressional
nomination.
Just what Wfldes' attitude has been is
one Of the political mysteries. II is said
that he would rot think of announcing
his candidacy for any office until the day
of the convention. But Just now his

the Republican leaders here said today

the exposition which he produced at Earls

twenty-six acres of ground, on which he
erected large buildings, palaces and lakes,
and the most beautiful floral and illunli-
mating decorations ever seen in Europe
Mr.. Kiralfy has permanently settled in
London, and 1t was with no little difficulty
that Mr.. Sanger succeeded in persuading
him to come to America for the purpose
of making his production.
Mr.. Kiralfy has followed the incidents of
our present war with Spain with great in
terest and sympathy. and the idea oc-
CURED to him that an original American
Naval Show illustrating the principal in
cidents that have already occurred, as
well as the thrilling victories achieved by
the American Navy over SPANS, would
be worthy of production.
