IT is a pity Judge Lippincott should
have given the sanction of he ermine to
the assertion that there were sufficient
grounds for the evil reputation in respect
to corrupt elections, of which Hudson
County is the victim, Such grounds do
not exist. The Judge is deceived by the
clamor of a fractional press.
And his community is a sore sufferer
from calufnny and SANDER. It has, for
years, been at the mercy of the disap-
pointed and the malignant among its own
people. and the fippant and the malicious
everywhere. It has been given a bad rep
utation. which it in no way deserves, but
which has sadly retarded its progress in
wealth. in population and in influence.
We do not think 1t is quite true that
our own people are at present Respondent
or Indifferent We think the great votes
polied in recent elections, and the inn
portant schemes both of private and pub
lie improvement. which are now in pro-
gress all over the county, are ample proof
to the contrary.

CONCERTS FOR THE FLAG
Greenville Committee Finds
Mite Box Contributions
Too Small.

The Greenvi1le Dewey flag is still on
exhibition in Columbia Hall, Ocean and
Gator avenues. It will probably remain
there the rest of the week. Hundreds
visit the flag daily. A large subscription
box stands near the flag. built apparently
does not receive much attention. The
committee expected to materially increase
the fund by exhibiting the flag, but 1t has
since learned that a more substantial en-
tertainment must be offered before the
majority of Greenville residents will go
down in their pockets.
The committee has decided to keep the
flag In Greenuille and will not allow 1t to
be exhibited in the down town stores, as
previously intended.
1t is expected that the pole will be on
the grounds, in readiness to be erected,
within a few days. 1t has been suggested
that a series Of concerts be given at
Columbia Hall. for the benefit of the fund
The committee favors the plan and Will
make the necessary arrangements Thurs
day night. The Thiesen Amateur Orches-
ira has volunteered its services and as
there are a number of excellent music
ians and vocalists in the Greenville sec
ton who are probably patriotic enough
to respond to a call for volunteers, it is
thought that one or more concerts can
be easily arranged.
Circulars nave been sent to the business
men of Jersey City requesting Their aid
for the patriotic project.
h following letter was received from
Mayor Hoos yesterday
Il beg to acknowledge the receipt of
you kind invitation on behalf of the
Dewey Flag Committee of Greenville. to
accept the flag as the property of the
city on Saturday, September 8, and to
say that it will afford me great pleasure
to be present on that occasion"
The following patriotic communication
was also received yesterday
Having read that the Dewey flag has
left the hands of the manufacturer and
thai the pole will soon follow, I am re-
minded that my promisssory note has
come due. I therefore beg leave to en-
close a check for my co~ntributory mite
$500, and regret that I am unable to
subscribe five times as much. For no
patriotic display could he too elaborate,

dress. we venture to contradict It em-
p~hatically.
we make the broad assertion that there
is not one scintiIla Of evidence to support
charges Of election fraud in this county
before the Court or before the public.
We assert that the screaming organs Of
the departed party have never adduced a
particle Of proof of their charges, but
have always rested them On the prepos-
ferrous assumption that the great ma
jorities polled against them for the last
three years. must necessarily be fraudu-
lent.
We direct attention to the fact that no
contest has been attempted after any OF
the recent elections. and no arrests have
been made, notwithstanding the fact that
the Jersey city police is headed by a Re-
publican and was under the control Of
Republican Commissioners to a date sub
sequent to the last election held in this
city.
We further direct attention to the fact
that, after each of the last two elections,
the Republican Chief of Police pro-
nounced them clean and free from mate-
rial corruption, and the leaders of the
Republican party. in the county substan-
TALLY admitted the same thing
One thing more we will declare upon
our own responsibility, viz: that 1t is a
matter of common notoriety in the inner
circles of both parties that the two last
Democratic majorities-the ones about
which the Tribune" raves-were straight.
There was not even an attempt at fraud
because there was not the slightest occa-
sion for 1t. The Republican tickets never
even had a hope of winning.

said IN effect that where there was SO

hat any inquiry should be conducted INTO

this: That as the present Grand Jury
would be in session throughout the com
ing fall election. it could contribute ma
terially to keeping that contest pure. we
quote him textually:-
But 1t is not only so much to the past
that the Court desires your investiga-
tion. but your consideration is also

WE cordially endorse Judge Lippincott's
appeal to the Grand Jury to watch over
the coming election. We are tired OF
Republican lying. The result of the com
ing election will be precisely the same as
OF other recent ones. We do not quite
see, however. how the Tribune will
contrive to keep up the parrot cry of
fraud after the very glowing eulogi-
ums which 1t has pronounced upon Mr..
McLean's solitary panel.
OF course no Indictments will be found.
because there will be nothing to indict.
There never is. unless it may be the
malignant partisan newspapers which
libel the community in the bitterness of
their defeat.

Bryan on Courage.

Here is Bryan's latest, from the ban
quet board at st. Louis: "The man who
fights a trust is of as high a courage as
the one who storms a hill at San Juan
or swims a river"
AS Colonel Bryan has never tried the
last two experiences, he is talking stuff.
A trust is an impersonal thing. 1t
cares not for any individuals hostility.
An orator may go around over the coun.
try attending banquets, and call Rock
efeller a robber, and nobody spats the
speaker. The millionaire does not care.
One may ring up the offices of a trust
1000 miles away. by long-distance tele-
phone, and denounce the managers un-
til cut off. An editor may honestly fight
trusts, and he is in no danger financially
or physically. No courage is called for,
only honesty and f%rankness. But when
it comes to breasting bullets-well, let
Colonel Bryan try it If he thinks it takes
courage to make antitrust talks.

Pacific Ocean Cables.

Hawaii should, for the convenience of
administration, be Immediately connect
ed by cable to the shores of California.
This country maintains United States
troops there, controls the commerce and
will make it a naval depot for coal sup
plies and munitions of war. A cable is
a necessary adjunct. A warship and
a cable at Honolulu would be of more
service than a feet at that station with
out a cable. The cost of one modern
cruiser would complete the work and
pay for a cable ship to care for the line.
The mid-Pacific colony would then be-
come a starting point from which would
radiate cables to Alaska, Japan and
China, via Guam and Manila; Australia,
via Pago Page, New Zealand, Central
and South America.

How Americans Lead.

In New York one day last week there
was a parade of fifty automobile vehicles
of American design. A year or so age
there were no American made carriages
of this character, and the first used in
this country were imported from Paris.
1t does not take American mechanics
long to catch on, and they doubtless will
soon excel foreign makers in this in,
stance as in most others.
1t has been so with the bicycle. Man
ufacturers of England, France and Ger
many thought they could make wheels.
But last year bicycles to the value of
81 SOC. 900 went to England from this
country, 81, zoe, 200 to Germany and
$3.50, 900 to France.
American manufacturers seek to excel
in specialties. Every experiment is tried
to increase excellence and lower prices.
The foreign maker accepts a certain
standard and adheres to it. That is why
progressive manufacturers of this coun-
try distance them.
So far. outside of steel, iron rails,
bridges and agricultural machinery, the
leading exports to Europe have been
specialties such as typewriters, bycicles,
and sewing machines. Hundreds of
smaller articles in use daily in America
have not sought the foreign market, but
when a concerted move is made to get
the business elsewhere, as Germany is
doing, and to supply the things Europe,
Asia and Africa use, from automobiles
to glass idols, then American makers
will have their hands full.
