The New Jersey Trusts

The Hon. John Kean, United states
senator from Elizabeth, New Jersey, has
been emulating his good and great friend
Governor Voorhees,, and defending the
alleged trust laws of this State. Mr..
Rean speaks very sensibly upo the mat
ter and dispbses in an able manner Oh
much of the poppy cock which is now
going the rounds of some sections OF the
country concerning iniqultous New Jersey
and her more Ubiquitous trust fostering
laws.
Mr. Kean pointed out tina corporations
seek New Jersey not because her laws
were not perfectly legitimate, but simply
because this State does not require the
publication of returns from private pusi
ness. Public concerns. ne said, SUCH as
hanks and insurance companies, are
oht.aed 10 file statements of their bust
ness. but private corporations are exempt
Mr.. Kean then goes on and explains the
law under which corporations are form
ed in This State. He shows the great oehe-
fiji which they nave brought to the people
of New Jersey. He speaks of the gen
erous' appropriations made by the last
Leeisia tura FOR the Runway Reformatory,
the hospitals for the insane, the EQUIP
ments OF the National Guard and the
extra pay to soldiers and sailors VINO
serv4d in the war with Spain All these
annronriations will be met by the ices
received from the monstrou5 trusts OF
which We hear so much from that COM
mon seold the True American" of Tren-
ton. As Mr.. Kean points out there is
much hurnbug in this cry against New
Jersey and her trusts, which arises
mainly through ignorance of the true
state OF affairs and a great deal through
deliberate Misrepresentation and desire TO
discredit the state. The best answer to
these charges will be found in Delaware
and those other. States which are trying
70 entice corporations away from New
Jersey by enacting avs similar to ours
and reducing the Incorporation fees
Mr.. Kean is doing a public service whe
he defends the State against the silly
calumnies OF -demagogues. He can do stun
more good by trying to induce his party
TO substitute rational trade laws for the
moustrosity which now closes our ports
against the natural competitors OF the
trusts and combinations.
1t must be remembered that as COM
binations promotive of great enterprise
and ais of vast economies in productlon'
the trusts have their good side. It is only
when they become m%onopolistic that they
are inimfeal OF the public welfare. This
evil side of thep can be corrected by one
act of legislation and one only, and that
nna is in the hands of the FederalG Govern
ment. Give US free trade, and monopoly
becomes impossible, and the trusts are
4ban great nstrurnentafties enabling US
to hold our own markets and to VII
foreign ones against the rest of the world
THE Tribune is very sore this MORN
.ng because e.. W. is pulling wool over the
yves Of h Hudson County Republican Re-
organization Committee. 1t accuses him
of irving to trepress evidence of his mis-
management This is too bad. It is very
unkind Of Mr.. woolley not to make a
victim OF himself for the 'Tribune's'
gloriHcation.

THE CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
An Accumulation of Business Causes
Il Protracted Meeting.


"a Protracted Meeting.
There was an unusually large number of
representatives from affiliated bodies pres
ent at the weekly meeting of the Central
Labor Union held last night at Typo
graphical Temple. On account of no meet
ing of the union during Dewey week, :"
there was great deal Of business, which
was considered and disposed ef.
A communication was read from the
Central Trades Council of Bay City, Mich,
relative to trouble between the Stage
Employees Union of that city and the
National Alliance OF Stage Employees. The
union is recognized by the Bay City Trades
Council. but is not affiliated with the pa
tional body of stage employees. The dele
gates from the stage employees union of
Washington called the matter to the at
tention of the Central Labor Union with
a view of having that body petition the
American Federation of Labor to revoke
the charter of the Bay City Trades Council.
letter was received from j. Addison
Porter. Secretary to the President, ac-
knowledging the action of the union re-
auesting Mr.. Mckinley not to participate
in the laying of the cornerstone of the
Federal building at Chicago. 1t was stated
that the trouble between labor and the
Government contractors in Chicago had
been amicably settled.
The delegates from the Lathers' Union
stated that members of the Plasterers'
Association were working for contractors
known to be unfair. In this connection
it was stated that a prominent plasterer,
who had been declared unfair, has agreed
TO employ only union labor, and his name
was stricken from the unfair list.
A committee was appointed TO submit TO
the union a proposition looking to the cleo
ton of a business agent, who shall be
paid a stated salary. The duties of the
new officer will be practically the same
as those of walking delegate A PROPOSE
tion looking to the adoption of the pass
word" of the American Federation of
Labor will also be considered at the next
meeting.
The joint committee which had charge
of the Labor Day excursion announced
that at meeting to be held tomorrow
evening at Typographical Temple the ticket
coupon prizes will be awarded.

FIRE DEPARTMENT NEEDS.
The Commissioners Wish Another
Assistant Chief Engineer

Late yesterday afternoon the Commits
sioners submitted the following memoranda
to the Secretary of the Treasury, in connec-
tion with the estimates sent to the Treasury
Department about week ago:
1T is asked that the number of Assis-
tant chief engineers be increased, in order
to properly supervise the engine and truck
companies scattered over the District of Co.
lumbia, numbering twenty-three. 1t is rea-
sonable to ask for additions in this respect
because, since the organization of the de-
partment there has been no addition two
assistant chief engineers having been al
lowed when the department consisted of
but seven engines and two truck compa-
MES, all situated in the central part of the
city. The assistant chiefs visit each house
daily, and assume control of the fires in
their districts, in addition TO that part Of
the work which is supervised by the chief
himself. In proportion to the size of the
department, and the territory TO be covered.
and compared with the organization of fire
departments elsewhere, four or even six
assistant chief engineers would not be too
large number. The Commissioners at
this time ask for but one additional assis-
tant, and trust that the facts as presented
win induce Congress 10 make the appropri-
alton necessary therefor.
THE Commissioners ask for an increase
in the salary of the clerk to the Fire De-
partment, because his duties are very i'm
portant and it is believed that he is en-
titled TO the sum of $1,000 a year. The work
has been performed at the low rate OF
$500, and the clerk performing it has re-
Gently been taken away TO fill a higher po-
sition. The services in this position are
fully as important as those in other places
where 81 200 is received.
The amount asked for for the machinis.
is the same as was requested last year when
the position was created. The place is
filled by a skilled machinist taken from
the Washington navy yard, and he accepted
the position with the understanding that
his salary would be about the same as he
was at that time receiving. The $1,000
now received is less than his former salary.
He has demonstrated already that 1t is a
saving to the department to have his SER
vices, and ii is hoped that the small in
crease in his pay may be granted"

A PARENTS COMPLAINT.
She Claims Her Child Is Prevented
From Attending School.

The Commissioners yesterday received a
report from Superintendent Cook OF the col
ored schools regarding the complaint made
several weeks ago by Mrs. Alice johnson
that her daughter was being prevented
from re-entering the schools this year.
The report of Mr.. Cook encloses a state
ment from Supervising Principal Waring.
OF the division in which the child was at
tending school.
In his statement Mr. Waring alleges that
the child was suspended from school on
March "a, 1899. for impertinenee diso-
bedience, and disrespectful conduc. to-
ward her teacher, also for losing a book
which had been given her by the supervis-
ing principal. ON the promise of her
mother to replace the book Mr.. Waring
states he allowed the girl to return TO
school and complete the term. The book
was not replaced, however, and when the
child presented herself for admission this
year she was informeG that she would not
be admitted until the hook had been re-
stored. Mrs. johnson then wrote the Com
missioneTs, entering a complaint against
the principal, and they have directed that
she shall be made acquainted with his
reply.

The door that Dante saw had this inscrip-
ton over it: Despair of hope, all ye who
enter here" When man despairs of hope
he drains the very dregs of despair
There are certain forms of disease TO
which medical ignorance and popular su-
perstition have given the title of Hope
less" That very fact handicaps the suffer
ers from such diseases by robbing them of
the courage to try TO regain health. This is
particularly true of lung diseases As soon
as disease fastens on the lungs, the victim
sits down, makes his will, and awaits his
fate. He wouldn't act that way if he were
