There has been in circulation during
the past month or two a rasnor that the
.Eyeuing journal and 1.-The Jersey City
NeWsn were to be merged or censelidat-
"a and the names of Mr.. w. d. Edwards
ana Mr.. e. r. C. Young have been
eoupled with the story. We have paid
no attention to 1t because it was mere
irresponsible gossip. Yesterday, however,
the Newark Evening News gave space
to It In more or less cireumstantial shape,
81. the guise of a special despatch from
Jersey city. If we allowed this STATE
mend. in a responsible paper. to pass I'M
noticed, we might be thought to give as
sent to 1t by our silence. We therefore
break or general rule of saying nothing
OF our private affairs in these column
The story is totally untrue. There is
not even the shadow of foundation for
it. No change whatever in the owner
ship, management, or policy, whether edi-
torial or commercial, of 1.-THE News"
is in contemplation 1T may be added
that fog business reasons, which must be
obvious to an who are acquainted with
the newspaper field in Jersey City, a
consolidation of "erhe News" and the
journal" at present, belongs 10 the
realm Of the Impossible, and no change
in the conditions which exist is anywhere
in sight
AS for the changes in the Journal
ownership. they are simple and easily I'M
derstood. Besides, Mr.. Joseph A. Dear. in
an interview in the North Hudson 'Des-
patch,s' two weeks ago, authoritatively
told what had happened. We are able TO
guarantee the truth of Mr.. Bears state
ment-fhough, Of course, no such guaran-
Tee is needed. MI. Phelps has become
tired of his experiment with the Jour
nal and he has sold a portion of his half
interest in 1t, and given an option on the
rest. The buyers are Mr.. Joseph A.. Dear
and Mr.. Elbert Rappleye. Mr.. Dear has
thus Increased his interest in the Jour-
nall securing more thar half of is stock,
and therefore the property is now under
his control. Mr.. Rappleye has acquired
a substantial interest in the property, to
strengthen his position as Editor. This
is all there is of the matter. It is purely
a private affair TIL policy of the Jour
nal,a' we are assured, is to remain UNI
changed. and, so far as the public are
concerned, no effect of the recent changes
viii be perceptibe.
Mr.. W.. D. Edwards has bought no in
terest in the Journal" He was unaware
OF the transactions described above until
they became matter of general nouoriety.
Mr.. e. F. c. Young We firmly believe
Enough Of course we are moi in a position
to state it positively-does not own one
single share of stock in the Journal or
any ethar newspaper. We repeat We do
not know this; but it is cur best opinion.
At any rate. 50 far as 1.-THE News is
concerned, there is no change. So far as
1t is given to anyone to forecast the fu-
tnre, there will be none. This is all we
shall have to say ON the subject.
