Maritad Honor.

Princeton University did an excellent
thing. yesterday. when it conferred the
degree of LID. upon Major William 5.
stryker of Trenton, General stryker is a
man of literary as well as military fame.
He recently published a work on the
battles of Trenton and Princeton. which
has won much distinction for the author
in the literary world. He has also writ
ten several works on the colonial history
of New Jersey and the United States.
AS Adiutant General of the National
Guard of this State he has done much to
bring New Jerseys militia up to Its pres
emit excellent condition and efficiency. No
Jerseyman will begrudge General stryker
the new honor which has been conferred
upon him.

The Small Town. and the Great City.

If the Greater Jersey City is to be
made a reality, we should think the
Evening Journal of this ely had better
desist from its tone of cheap and vulgar
popularity regarding the smaller towns,
which are naturally DESTROYS of conserving
the interest of their citizens and property
owners. The onslaught upon Union Hill,
in yesterdays edition, was as indiscreet
as It was unwarranted. Even if a town
covers only one block of ground. it is en-
titled to full justice in an act of con-
solidation with a greater ~neighbor. In
deed its smailness is a special reason why
its rights should be afforded special safe
guards.
We are Just as eager for consolidation
as the journal is, but we would not
consider it for a moment if it were to be
accomplished by the primitive process OF
the biggest fish in the pool %gobbling
everything in sight. We favor CONSOLE
dalton because it offers vast advantages
to every section of the county and to the
smaller places even more than to the
greater.
We hope by the presentation OF facts
and figures. by serious argument and ire
futable proof to satisfy the smaller towns
of the greatness of the opportunity which
will loom UP before their expanded future.
On the one hand. the name and the sys-
tenn of a great city will help their growth,
and. on the other, the saving of unneces-
eary expenditure will afford them means
for local expenditure. So far from being
swallowed or absorbed by Jersey City,
they will absorb energy and nourishment
from its greatness and strength.
Let us hope this whole subject will be
approached not in a spirit of bitterness,
such as the journal, exhibits, but with
cancellation and good temper. each section
regarding the good of all.

& STEAM WHISTLES BLOWING
Necessary To Warn Men In Tunnel
Ct Approaching Trains.

Some time ago a complaint was made
to Mayor Hoos hat the blowing of steam
whistles by locomotives on the D., L. &
W.. r.. r. Co. made miserable the lives
of lots of citizens on the Hill. The Mayor
sent the complaint to the company. This
morning the superintendent of that cor
poration sent this repply:-
Returning attached petition will you
kindly tell me where this blowing is done?
l have watched it personally and I have
a a man watching it and we cannot
discover the difficulty. If it is at our
tunnel, you know that it is necessary to
sound the whistles on entering the tun-
mel to advise a lot of men whom we have
patroling the tunnel of the time that an
engine is coming. I am willing at all
times to put on a man and find out just
what is wrong and remedy the difficulty,
but I do not think the good people want
us to ieopardize the lives of the people
working in this tunnel to maintain the
track by not whistling."

WOULDN'T ANNOY The LADIES
Supt. Sheppard's Courteous Reply
To a Complaint.

General Superintendent F. l.. Sheppard
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in reply to
Mayor Hoos' letter calling attention to
the discharge of steam and hot water
from drill engines. wrote this courteous
letter this morning:-"An investigation
into the annoyance to ladies employed at
Furst Brothers store, this city from our
drill engines discharging steam and not
water on their clothing fails to develop
who the offending party is. The matter,
however. has been taken up in such a
way as, I think, will put a stop to the
trouble. 1 am inclined to think it was
more an act of inadvertence than any
thing Intentional. At least I should be
sorry to think hat any of our men would
purposely annoy the young ladies. How
ever, if you could locate some specific
case it would aid us in putting an abso-
lutte stop to the annoyance"

THURSDAY. JUNE Is. 1899.
This paper is Democratic in principles
and is Independent in its rieaes on all tocdt
questions.
Local Labor and the Library Build
iuD,

At a meeting of the Hudson County
building Trades Council, held last even
ing. Business Agent Conroy wrote him
self down a fuli-hedged ass.
He said that the only way in which he
could account for the low price, at which
a New York firm bid for the contract
was the employment of cheap and incom-
potent labor. This is certainly a new
canon of competition. If the cheap man
must necessarily employ incompetent
labor, why are competitions held at all
or. rather. why does not the law require
that all contracts be given to the highest
bidder?
To anyone who knows a b c about the
building trade. the name of Noreross
Bros, is sufficient answer to Mr.. Conroy's
silly and spiteful remark 1t is well
known that they employ none but the
best men in all lines, and the work they
have lone is the record in the case-such
work as the Columbia University Library,
the Union Depot at Albany ana the Allie
ghany County public buildings at Pitts
burg.
Mr.. Conroy's idiotic statement is made
still more iaughable by the fact shat all
the labor upon the Library building is
being performed by Jersey City workmen
excepting the foreman. Thus, the cheap
and incompetent labor to which he al
luded. is all recruited from the ranks OF
the very organizations which he was ad-
dressing. We should think some of the
men spoken of in this insulting way
would call Mr.. Conroy down very hard.
The fact of the matter is Jersey City
labor loses nothing by this contract going
to New York. Can it be that Nj. conroy
is agltating IN the interest of some of
the d~isgruntled bosses? 1t certainly looks
that way.
