BIMETALISM VERSUS
MONOMETAIISM.
Territorial Expansion and
Non Expansion


Non Expansion
Will be the great issues in the
approaching National campaign.
The acquisition of Spanish Do
minion by conquest has brought
to the front in our National
politics, recently, another issue
that will make a clash between
the two political parties, antag-
onistic to each other. Hon.
William J. Bry an has already
sounded the note of warning to
his fellow countrylnen, and
clearly defines his political po-
sition on the two leading Mas
tional topics. With the sagac>
ity OF statesman and q great
l-ader one economic questions, he
forcibly, brings to light the
danger which, underly territorial
expansion. His keen penetra
trating mind has fathomed the
deep political abyss and in his
researches has discovered the
poisonous fangs Of expansion
which will sooner or later, fast
en- themselves upon the A1neri-
lean people shouldthey decide i'll
favor of expansion. BY the expan
sion of territory the Monroe
Doctrine will be set at naught
and the long cherished pr.nci>
pies by the American people
will sink into oblivion. The
money kings Of the nation advo
cate expansion in order to in de-
velop new inviting fields for in>
vestments. This class of per-
sons patriotism, in many in
stances, can be measured with
the tape line of filthy lucre
The expansionist finds it a
sweet morsel while the masses
with the sweat of their brow
will be called upon to maintain
a gigantic army and navy to
protect American interest in
foreign possessions. l;ut is this
all? No, Here at home, within
the sound of the human voice,
we have an inferl or race to. deal
with and for thirty>fve year S,
every effort has been made by
the brainiest politicians to make
a solution of the negro problem.
He is disturb ing political ele-
ment. Thirty years Of patient ed
ucation, and with it he is far
from being typical American
citizen, sadly wanting in those
requisite of American character
istics, deficient in the freedom
OF thought and action. In the
acquired conquest. in both the
eastern and western helnis
pheres, we have a still more in
ferior race to contend with. If
the negro citizen is disturbing
element, with all the advantages
given him, how much greater
will be that class of inha bitants
of the eastern possessions. 1t is
a serious matter to consider. The
other issues wi II be bimetalisn
and monometali>m. Upon these
the two contending political
parties fought the National bat
tie of ballots two years ago, and
upon them there will be a reit-
Grafton of discussion which our
readers will remember we'll.
The paralytic stroke which Mons
ONE talism gave to every
branch of American industries
is still felt and the cloud of de-
preston still hangs heavily over
US. Mr.. Bryan's adherance to

VOLUNTEERS AFTER. MONEY
Paymaster General DonnelIy's
Office Flooded With
Applications.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey city News."1
TRENTON, April IS, 1S99.--The office Of
Paymaster General Richard A. Donnelly
was besiesed with discharged volunteer
soldiers from New Jersey regiments yes
terday. The men were anxious to re-
ceive the money to which they are en-
titled as extra State pay, under Senator
Ketcham's bill, passed by the last Legis-
lature, Before the office closed a large
table was heaped high with the dis
charges of the soldiers, which will be
used as vouchers III .paylng the men. The
soldiers, before receiving the money, will
have to make affidavit that they are the
persons named in the discharges and that
they have made no assignments OF their
claims.
Despite the fact that it has been IN
nounced that the none would not be
paid until the middle. or the END OF Inc
week. many of the soldiers expected 10
receive it Immediately upon presenting
their discharges at the office. In fact a
number of men came fr9m Newark and
other parts of the State with this expee-
tation, apparently unaware Of the tact
that it is unnecessary feis thens TO present
their claims in person. All that is re-
CURED IS that the claims be sent 70 the
Payrnaster General together with the dis
charges, These VIII then be compared

FIREMANS AGONY
Horrible Incident Of the Fire
in Bernstein's Store
Last Night.
IN MOLTEN LEAD
Bolan Likely to Die
Loss Caused By the Blaze
About $40, 1000.

At a big fire on Newark avenue last
night. John Bolan and John Griffin, hose
men. attached to Engine Company No. !,
fell from a ladder reaching to the second
floor of the burning building and were
badly injured. 1t is thought by the au-
thorities at st. Francis Hospital, to which
institution the injured men were removed,
that Bolan is fatally hurt.
Shortly before $50 o'clock last night fire
was discovered in the photograph gallery,
owned by ]. H. Keim, of No. 50 Newark
avenue. The place was Quilted. The
clothing store owned by Joseph E. Bern
stein and Company, which occupies part
of the same building and all OF the next,
was damaged by water.
The blaze was discovered by Sergeant
Soloman of the Gregory Street station,
who was surprised to see a cloud OF smoke
burst from the windows of the top floor
of the building. Running to Box IA he
sent in an alarm. The department was
soon on the scene.
Chief Conway arrived shortly after the
alarm had been received, and at a glance
saw that a serious fire had to be contend
ed with. He Immediately sent in a sec
n alarm, which was closely FOLLOWED by
a third. Truck companies Nos. ] and z
pulled up Immediately in front of the
building, and the men connected with tae
companies rushed upstairs only to be
forced back by the intense heat,
Finding that entrance could not be
gained by means of the hallway several
ladders were raised at the front of the
carried a length of hose up a ladder 10
the windows-of the top floor and for a few
minutes threw a stream into the blaze.
Suddenly the sound of breaking glass
was heard by the crowd below, followed
nv the terrible sight of Bolan's body
falling through the air. Bolan was hor-
ribly tortured. The cornice on the roof,
which was made of soft metal, melted
and the leady composition fell into the
upturned face and covered the hands OF
the brave fireman. He screamed with
pain and in his frenzy and wild desire
to get away from the torturing stuff he
released his hold and fell backwards. He
was badly injured about the head and
body in addition to what he suffered from
his burns. He was picked up and sent
to st. Francis Hospital.
The fire took an upward course and only
damaged the top floor Of the building OF
No, 50 Newark avenue. The first and
SECOND floors of the building were badly
damaged by water, but We're not touched
by the flames. Mr.. Bernstein's stock was
ruined by water.
Keim figures his loss at 81, 900. He car
ried 1850 insurance. Many of the plates
on which were photographs of criminals
were destroyed. Valuable military pic
lures were also lost in the flames.
Bernstein's .oss will not exceed 10000.
The fire will postpone Mr.. Bernstein's
anniversary sale.

NEW JERSEY and TRUSTS
Governor Voorhees, Views
The New Industrial
Status.

WASHINGTON, April is, 1Ss9.-The at
tention of Foster M. Voorhees,, Governor
of New Jersey, who Is now in Washing
ton, was. called to Governor Pingree's
recent allusion to the desirability of hay
ing New Jersey secede from the Union on
account of the protection which her laws
give to trusts.
Il ought not" said Governor Voorhees,.
ito ~eriticise a brother executive, but may
be pardoned for saying that this clamor
is largely d~emagogical. Our State has
acted literally towards corporations, but
tho highest English authority has COM
mended our law, and three sister States
have passed an Identical statute. No
charters for fake or fraudulent concerns
are granted with us. Our law is strin-
gent on this point, and only bona hde cor
porations can get recognition. The IL
cense fees are high, and from this source
alone our State treasury will get almost a
million dollars this year.
1.-THE combination of capital which late
ly attract so much public notice are hard
ly trusts in the obnoxious sense of that
term. The old style trust, which was in
reality a monopoly, sought to enhance the
price of the commodity it handled. In
this selfish purpose it failed oftener than
it succeeded, witness the cordage trust,
the pottery trust and scores of others, but
in the concentration of interests now 60
ing on, the chief purpose is to bring about
economy in production. The low prices
at which oil and sugar sell are pretty
good evidence that the public does not
suffer from these gigantic combinations.
In the modern evolution OF business as.
ISOLATED capital does what was formerly
left to men in their single capacity. IN
this charged order of things a few will
get hurt, but this is an inevitable result
of all modern progress"
