E
rrcCIure,s Magazine for Eebruar

DR.. Nansen discusses in the February
.McCIure's' the future of exploration III
the direction of the North Pole. His con-
clusion is that the Pole .can be reached
without too great difficulties either .py
a ship drifting with the ice across the
Polar Sea- or '.by help of dogs ana
sledges from the Greenland side"
This number of '.McClure's' is particu-
Iarly notable in it's personal and biograph-
zeal matter. There is a series of Great
Portraits of Lincoln An interesting ar.
ticle by Miss Tarbell gives the history OF
the several portraits. Mr. Dana's "Rem-
iniscences'' continue, and give his opser-
vations of Rosecrans. Thomas and Car
field at the time of the battle of Chicka-
manga. They also give a very interesting
view of Burnside at Knoxville. But or
especial biographical value is the vivid de-
tailed account of Washington's last illness
and death. from the manuscript diary or
his trusted private secretary and con-
slant attendant, Tobias Lear.
The best story by Stephen Crane that
we have seen appears in this number OF
ssMcCIure's.o There is also a charming
humorous Irish story by Shan Bullock
and an absorbing instalment of the An
thony Hope novel. But none of these, in
novel and thrilling incidents, surpasses
Mr. Herbert E. HambleD's record of his
own real. experience inr"Firing a Locomo-
tive 8Ha. -r 1855 .

70 DEVELOP WEST Side
Property Owners Petition Street
and Water Board to Extend
"a
jackson Avenue.

The many property owners ip Greenyille
who are working Tor the extension Of
Jackson avenue, frotn its presant terminus
at Warner avenue soufh TO the Bayome
line. to permit Of the construction of the
propose trolley line in that thorough
fare. ave placed another petition in cir
culation. The petition only a few days
old. has hundreds of signers, 1t is as
follows.-
Tojthe Honorable Board Of Street and
Water Commissioners
We, the property owners along the
line OF the proposed extension OF Jack
son avenue, and in the immediate "
cinity thereof, hereby respectfully petl,
ton your honorable body 10 open sald
Jackson avenue from its terminal at
Warner avenue to the Morris Canal;
said extension to continue IN a
straight line with the present line Of
Jackson avenue SO as to connect with
Avenue b in Bayonne. The improve
ment, if carried out. will provide a
new outlet to Bayonne and the Boule-
ward, as the aforementioned Avenue p
joins the Boulevard at Thirty-sixth
street in the city of Bayonne.
We have the assurance of the offi-
Gals Of the Consolidated Traction
Company hat the projected new troll
ley line will be constructed as soon as
the extension of Jackson avenue Is al
fected, and as the trolley line is need
ed to develop the unimproved prop
erty on the west side of Greenville,
we earnestly request your honorable
body to favor this petition with prompt
and favorable action.
The Street and Water Commissioners
are very anxious to begin the extension
early in the spring. City Engineers Van
Keuren with a number of assistants are
busy surveying the route. The property
owners think that now that the work has
been begun it will not be many months
before the extension will be completed. In
all the cutting up of private property only
about seven houses will have to come
down. The new trolley cannot come too
soon for the property owners on the west
side of Greenville. At present the west
side of this section is a long Instance
from the trolley lines, and on this ac-
count the real estate dealers say little
progress has been made during the past
few years. The east side. however, has
made rapid strides since the trolley sys-
tenn has been in operation. This IS shown
by a large humble of handsome residences
erected during the past few years on
streets within easy reach of the trolley.
The traffic on the Bayonne and Green
vile lines has increased wonderfully dur
ing the last year, and the company to
relieve the crush IN these lines has rear
much more frequently. Even as it is the
traffic is very heavy and the Greenville
people are urging the Street and Water
Commissioners to hurry the work on the
proposed extension so that the trolley line
on that street can be built. This when
COMPLETED will be one. of the most import
ant improvements ever made in this city.

Last year, the Republican Legislature
passed a bill to give Jersey City and
other municipalities a larger share of the
taxes levied on railroad property within
their boundaries. A great flourish of
trumpets was made over it as a measure
of justice and generosity and God knows
what, besides, although it made no pro-
Eress whatever towards the crying need
of making the railroad companies bear
m equitable share of the public burdens.
Jersey City has never yet received one
dollar in virtue of this bill. Through an
infamous juggle, invented by John w.
Griggs, the application of the law was
postponed for a year.
Now, a Republican Assemblyman. Will
son L. Shropshire, from the railroad rot
ten borough of Cumberland, has intro
duced a bill to repeal the law and de-
prive the cities of even the postponed
benefit which they were granted last
year.
The ~unspeakable infamy of this propo-
sition cannot be emphasized by words.
There is no resident of Jersey City, be
me Democrat or Republican, whose sense
of justice will not rise in revolt against
such an act of treachery and spoliation.
Whether the bill passes or not, the pub
lie indignation excited by its Introduction
will be represented by ten thousand add
ed votes for the Democratic ticket in
the State election this fall.

Mayor Fagan's Enigma and the
Republican Papers.

When it was learned that the more
conservative Democratic leaders in this
county viewed the complimentary dinner
to Assemblyman Carroll with misgivings,
there was no little surprise in less re-
Elective quarters. Now the mischief Is
done and wonder has given way IN the
minds of all who have the good of the
party at heart to dismay.
pliment that his personal friends may
choose TO pay him., nor does anybody hoio
him responsible for what took place on
Tuesday. The dinner was innocently IN
tended. In absolute earnest, it was not
meant to be a political demonstration,
and it had no such significance in the
minds of ninety-five per cent. of those
who attended it.
But it afforded the enemies of the
Democratic party an opportunity 10
concoct with an appearance of proba-
bility, lurid stories of Democratic dis
cord and disruption. They did so to
their hearts content. 1t is only
necessary to read the headlines in the
~Evening Journal of yesterday or the
s'Tribune'' of his morning, to realize
how entirely right those Democratic lead
ers were who distrusted the effects which
would proceed from the dinner.
49, I;tt1o Afaynr
Fagan meant by his somewhat enigmatical
phrase as to Democratic leadership. we
do not know. The enemy chooses to take
st for a direct slap at Robert Davis.
Others think they see in it a compliment
TO him. Still others are unkind enough
to say that His Homo was only throwing
flowers at himself. and. finally, another
group interpret it as a mere rhetorical
utterance intended to be of no particular
theories may be true-or non of them.
The remark may have been a deliberate
stab or a mere indiscretion. No one
knows but the Mayor and his cronies.
But, no matter how it came out. it was
unfortunate, because it gav the enemies
of the party a handle with which to
plunge a poisoned dagger into the body
of the party, leaving an open wound to
tester all through the coming campaigns
1t is odd how this unfortunate remark
dovetails in with the political rumors
which have been blowing over from Ho-
boken. AS we said yesterday, distinct
reference was made in these to the head
~instigators of the late unlamented George
L. Record revolt. If we remember Alright.
Mayor Pagan was one of the shining
lights of that business, and hence an
additional suggestion Of trouble ahead
attaches to his words.
It is in order for Mayor Pagan to throw
light upon the situation. If he meant
nothing and is in favor of harmony, he
can stop all trouble by saying so frankly
and emphaticaly, at once. He yves this
to the party, which has lavished honors
and profit upon him. If he means trouble,
let him get out into the open. Nobody is
afraid of him there, and he will make a
more respectable figure there, than deal
ing in hints and ~innuendos. Anyway, let
him declare himself. 1t is up to him.
