Report.

TRENTON, March 81 1ssS.-The annual
report Of the Department Of Factory and
Workshop Inspection Of New Jersey has just
been published. The SUMMARY shows that
during the year 3,44sinspections were made,
All orders were given, 55ordersnot complied
with, II orders partly complied with. and
2ls orders fully complied with
The number OF children discharged during
the year was 329. There were 207 certif-
Gates ordered and four permits were issued
to orphans. There ere 81 injuries reported
in factories aud Ii killed. The number OF
new places opened was4l3,. and the number
Of old places closed was 254.
In his report to the Legislature Inspector
Ward calls especial attention to the educa-
tional conditions Of the children who come
under the supervision Of tine department
The report shows that the number of chill
dren employed in workshops and factories is
nearly 1000. These are required to attend
school only sixty nights in the yser, at the
most 100 hours, and these are hours when
The body and brain are exhausted with the
days toll and poorly prepared te receive IN
~structioDs or to acquire knowledge.
In this connection, Mr.. Ward ays, the
evening schools cannot be too highly praised.
They are -beneficent md humane instltr-
lions that serve to keepsaliyesthe intellectual
in the minds of the youthful toilers. But in
too many the instruction given is necessarily
'perfnnctory and is inspired more TO comply
with the letter of the Child Labor law than
to serve an educational purpose.
"The remedy for this condition of affairs"
the report says, IFS not easily found. The
term child labor in itself implies q loss of
school privileges. Tbs educational cendi-
tion of this class, however, can be ameliora-
ted, if not altogether corrected. Industrial
evening schools are a great improvement
over the old system. / would, however,
earnestly recommend, especially for these
communities where employment ceases in
the summer time, as is the case with the
glass industry, the establishment of summer
day schools. Let the early morning hours be
devoted to the object.
GA comparison of the records for this
office fer the last year with those of the
previous year discloses a most gratifying
result. The care with which the deputies
nave performed their duties is shown in
the ummar of inspections. The summary
for the years 1896 and 1897 is as follows:

FOLLOWING up its yellow editorial
yesterday, on the "Cfty's Financial Stand
ing" the Journal had an attack upon
the Hudson A~ssemblymen for their indis-
erection in introducing an equal taxation
measure in the present Legislature. This
action is supposed to have an exasperat-
ing effect upon the Republican majority,
and hus to create danger that the relief
secured last year may be Withdrawn.
Now, it seems to us that all the indis-
cretion is On the part of the Journal"
1t the Republican legislators are not the
tools and creatures of the railroads, why
should they become ex~asperated? Why
should they be influenced at all by the
action of the Democratic minority.
To the plain. ordinary reason, it is APP
parent that the Journals remarks
amount to a confession tha the Repub-
liean Senators and Assemblymen are not
the representatives of the people, but
simply the agents of the railway corpora
sions. retained to protect their interests.

That the reports were not true was finally

Mr.. Adolph Lankering was adjudged to
be the member too friendly to the press
and he was cited to appear for trial at

This organization IS political, not par

The Clfmax Of Infamy Jersey oisSs
Credft AssaiIcd.

Two DAVIS ago. the Evening Journaf
made a deadly onslaught upon the creole
of .tbis civ. In faring type and with
yellow headlines. it falsely. mailclouslss
yilely declared to the world that the
mpuieipality had defaulted upon the in
terest ON it's debt.
Yesterday. in another article, almost
equally vile. it attempted to quarry MS
assertion. But the mischief was DONE.
The blow was struck. The honor anu
crpt5;t Of the city had received a blow
from which it will be hard to recover.
The News, is informed that, on WAN
Street, the Journals assertion was
freely discussed among dealers IN NUM-
cipal bonds. and holders of Jersey C1ts
securities were decidedly panieky. Ine
house of Seigman 6 Co. has been specih-
cally mentioned to us as one in wnlch
much anxiety was expressed. But we
have been assured by numerous trust
worthy persons that the 4Journaf was
freely quoted on The Street and general
alarm was expressed at its announcement
that the city was bankrupt.
Tn this case. we are told. as in the Moo
nan-Simpson case. the same old
was used:-IF IT WAS NOT TRUE, NO
PAPER OF THE "JoURNAL's'STAND-
ING DARE ASSERT IT.
And yet it was not true. 1t was a das-
tardly. blackguardly yellow lie.
It was one of the desperate acts of sem
sationalism to which the c~arpetbagger
from Hackensack and his yellow alter
ego from New York are committing with
the hope of boIstering up the crumbling
circulation of the Evening Journal"
1t was a piece of scoundrelism compared
with which the previous performances of
the yellow combination are white ROBBED
virtue. 1t was a blow at the propertyrights
of every man who has a dollars worth
in Jersey City. It was a crime against the
community. 1t was an act of moral as
s~assination worthy of the men who took
Beck and Pidgeon out of a Third avenue
dive to fill the public mind with filthy and
malicious f~alsehoods.
How long are the people Of Jersey City
going to stand these outrages? How long
win they encourage calumny of private
individuals and libel on the community
by buying the foul sheet and taking it
into their homes. T~housands-we say adj
visedly- thousands in the last year have
stopped doing so. Is it not time for a
tidal wave of rebuke to set in, that will
leave the yellow 1ibeller to waste its
~viciousness upon the barren air.
How long, too. do the business men of
the community propose to keep on sup
porting and maintaining a sheet to under
mine their business? How long will the
real estate owners pay their money to
help a newspaper to depreciate the
value of their property? Is there 40 BUSH
ness sense in Jersey City, not to speak of
civic pride?

It's attack upon the Sugar House. We do
not know just what the special spite is,
that animates the carpet-bag combina-

Theatre. N. n.

The phenomenal success of Way Down
East" is significant of how the play-going
public has approved Brady and Zeigfeld's
policy at the Manhattan Theatre-the pre-
sentation of a pure and wholesome Amer
lean play, by skilled players, in a we'll
appointed house, where the comfort of
patrons is a prime consideration. Way
Down East is essentially a Lenten play.
The influences which are detrimental at
this period to most entertainments do not
affect the prosperity. House full is
placarded nightly and at Wednesday and
Saturday matinees. The fiftieth' perfor-
nance, Monday evening, March q, will be
celebrated with souvenirs. AT the earliest
possible moment the Manhattan will be
reconstructed, recarpeted and redeeorated
by it's alert young managers.
Sunday concerts, introducing high class
vocal, musical and vaudeville stars. will
be given for the rest of this season. Tn
mes Band opens the series, Sunday,
March 6, with a grand, patriotic concert.
