A COLD HOT WEATHER FACT.

School teachers are deserving New
Jersey for New York and Philadelphia,
where the salaries are from 90 to 80 per
cent higher, And who can blame them ?
The Jersey City School Commission
has had this truth forced home by the
announcement of Mayor Hoos that I'M
less the local teachers are better appre.
ciated-at least in financial way-the
best instructors will leave their positions
to accept others in New York .-Ne,c
York Press.
The Jersey City commissioners are
not alone in this respect. From the
school boards of Newark, Paterson, the
Oranges and Morristown, the low sal
aries paid school teachers of recognized
ability is an obstacle very difficult to
overcome, and one that is becoming
greater every year.
1t is not pleasant fact to contem-
plate, but such it is that the average la
boring man in Morristown receives a
larger annual return for his work than
that received by the teachers in our pub
lie schools.

FRIDAY. JUNE 16, 1899.
HYPOCRISY UNMAsKED.

THE action of the Board of Free
holders in regard to the printing of the
quarterly reports shows that that body
will bear close watching.
In the name of economy at the May
meeting they voted to have the quarter
ly reports printed in pamphlet form in
stead of in the newspapers as formerly.
The public throughout the county,
however, have let it be understood that
they believed the change was made
from other motives than that of econo-
my and indignation has been very free
ly expressed at the course the Board
seemed bent on pursuing.
The majority of the printing commit
tee, alarmed by the voice of the people,
decided to return to the old plan, drop
ping six newspapers on the ground that
they were not wholly printed in Morris
County, thus saving over $500 year.
The Board showed its high regard for
economy by agreeing by a large major
ity to adopt motion made by Mr.. Cook
of Passaic to spend the same amount as
hitherto in defiance of the committee on
printing.
If the Board is willing to waste 1915
of small appropriation, what will it not
do in such matters as roads or bridges
or the new almshouse?
We are more convinced this month
than we were last that the Board of
Freeholders needs watching.

EDITOR CHRONICLE:

In your paper last week, headed
Cruelty to Animals" and signed ''Hu-
name" a peculiarly organized individual
complains of having seen decrepid
horse beaten. and yet evidently omitted
to report the fact to the agent, which is
the surest way of remedying abuse to an
animal. We fear that he or she is not
as humane as the signature suggests.
An anonymous complaint is certainly
not commendable proceeding. The
s. P G. A. can afford but one paid agent
for this county and unfortunately he is
provided with but one pair of eyes. His
time is full investigating complaints re-
ported to him by humane citizens who
would consider themselves remiss if
they send in signed complaints of any
cruelty they may witness.
AS to the general condition of horses
in Morristown, it is sufficient to say that
from all sides we hear it said that never
before have the animals looked better
cared for. The present agent gives abso-
lutte satisfaction. An unprecedented OBJ
server will agree that from the advent
of the S. P. G. A. in Morristown, up to
the present date there has been steady
progress in the welfare of animals and
there is no reason why the improvement
should not continue. There is nothing
perfect under the sun. s. P. G. A.
I'VE cheerfully give place to above
communication from the S. P. G. A..
which has done and is continuing a most
excellent work in our midst EDITOR. !

HISTORY OF A RAILROAD.
Continued from First Page.

engineer and contractor of some reputa-
tion in Great Britain and Canada came
TO New York in company with four or
five other persons They travelled
through the country in great style giving
extensive dinners Zone at Delmon1cos
said to have cost ten thousand dollars
and advertised themselves as English
capitalists in search of investment. They
renresented or controlled the Atlantic
and Great Western Railroad, and in
duced the Morris and Essex directors to
lease their road to the Atlantic and Great
Western, which by building one or two
thinks" would give continuous line to
Chicago. The Atlantic and Great West
ern guaranteed to pay ten per cent. dlvi-
dends on the Morris and Essex stock,
but unfortunately in 1866 Sir Morton
Pebo and his firm failed, and as the A.
e. G.. w. was about bankrupt, the lease
fell through; not however, until Pebo
and his friends had unloaded their west
ern securities, which was said to have
been the object Of their visit to this
country and probably leasing the Morris
and Essex at such an enormous rental
was part of the scheme to bolster the
A. & G. w.
The Morris and Essex Railroad has
been exceptionally free from accidents
and during the sixty years OF its existence
up to the time of the disaster on the
Meadows two or three years ago, not a
single passenger has been killed unless
by his own negligence. While this record
is as commendable as it is remarkable
vet the management of the road has not
been cup to-date."
It has never been the policy of the
company to anticipate or attract busi-
ness. Many years ago a committee OF
commuters begged the directors to run
train without stopping at the. Oranges,
and it was only after urgent and repeat
ed requests that they were induced to
make the experiment. This train ran
on the time of the present Dover Express.
More recently the late Governor Ran
dolph had the same difficulty in persuad
ing the management to put on the Ex-
press which now leaves Morristown at
1895. OF course these trains paid from
the start, but it has always been the
policy of the company to do nothing in
the way of improvements until forced
upon them. No doubt many people
will be surprised to know that the run
ming time between Morristown and
Newark, is the same now as it was thirty
five years ago, except on the two Express
trains and their time is lessened, not by
increased speed but by making fewer
stops. This difference is more pronounc-
ed when we remember that in those days
iron rails and dirt ballast were in use,
with a single track. Not only the towns
along the line but the road itself has
suffered from the illiberal policy of the
company. Take the city of Plainfield
for example; some years ago it was
smaller than Morristown, while to-day
it has twice the number of inhabitants,
and all owing to the liberal and wise
policy of the New Jersey Central Rail-
road Company. And there are no towns
on the Central road which have more
natural advantages than Morristown.

News Of the Grand FRATERNITY.

It will be interesting, no doubt, to the
local camp of the Grand Fraternity to
know that advices received from the
general Office of the organization indicate
that the accession of new members dur
ing the month of May far exceeded any
other one month since the organization
was instituted.
Daniel Lawn, one of the victims of the
smash-up at Exeter, on the Reading rail-
road, was member of the Germantown
camp and his wife will receive $400 a
year from the organization as long as
she lives.
Among the camps that doubled their
membership during the month of May
were Reading, Pa. Morristown, N. j.,
Trenton, N. j., and William Penn Camp
of Philadelphia.
Four new camps have been organized
and will be instituted during this month.

vance agent works day or two ahead
of the ''jobbers." He tells the farmer
that his firm in order to advertise the
rods is placing them on set of farm
buildings in each township for the actual
cost of labor, which is very small. In
order to protect the farmer contract is
signed, so that when the work is done
the regular price will not be charged. In
day or two the partner of the advance
agent, with the rods, appears and does
the work, and when the farmer again
sees the contract he finds he has agreed
to pay extra for everything, and the bill
generally amounts to over 800.

"A STITCH in TIME.

The drouth has caused the surface of
the improved roads to wear off in many
places and considerable number of
loose stones are lying around. If these
are not promptly raked off they will cut
up the roadbed as soon as rain comes.
To rake the stones off.Inow will cost
but little to repair the damage caused
by neglect, in few months from now,
would cost the county thousands of
dollars Here is an opportunity to ex-
hibit the very best kind of economy.

The trolley cars are blessing in the

whereby one may get breath of fresh

be. The cars on the line of the CONSOLE

the hot weather, especially at nights

the equal of which could not be had

many dollars as the rides cost in cents.

Some one has recently started re-
port that the railroad from Paterson or
Little Falls to Morristown as surveyed
by me this spring would not be built.
This is misleading. am sure it will be
constructed, and the prospects for it are
much brighter than for any road 1 have
ever built The plan has been endorsed
by responsible parties, but time is re-
quired to get connections, etc., made, as
with building of this seventeen miles
makes an all-rail direct line to Trenton
from Paterson, other connecting roads
will also greatly profit by it.
