CORPORATIONS IN POLITICS.

= The Wall Street Journal speaking
Of the, influence Of corporations in po-
litics in the campaign now going on
in New York, says:
There is something radically wrong
In the appearance of corporation as
an active force in an election. If it
takes: part in q political campaign,
the Influence is clear that it does so
simply from pecuniary motives alone.
The corporation uses it's influence and
contributes money to secure certain
desired ends or immunity from certain
official policies through securing the
election of candidates over whom it
will be able to exercise some control,
or with whom it can, at least, as the
saying 10, lido business" A corpor-
alton In politics, therefore, Is q peril
to the city, and to the country. The
greater the corporation, the greater
the peril. The company controlling
tho street railways, the gas, the cleo
trio light, and the telephone facilities
OF this city, represent immense finan-
cial power and control vast body of
workers.
Those who oppose government own
ership of public utilities on account OF
occasional cases of grating will do
we'll to read the above quotation care
fully. 1t comes not from any rabid
ref0rmer but from q staid financial
journal, one of the most conserv alive
Otis class. 1t merely points out the
evil OF corporations interfering in po-
litics; it has no remedy to offer, be-
cause the only practical remedy-gov-
eminent ownership-would interfere
with the privileges OF the patrons OF
the Journal, who are mostly fnanciers
or spectators in stocks and bonds.
But it will be noticed that the corpor-
atoms mentioned as dangerous on
this account are the public service
corporations-street always, light
ing and telephone companies. Those
are in q city the companies that have
the most use for corrupt government
that it will sell them special privileges
without exacting any rights for the
public. And those are the very
branches of service that are now get
ting to be more and more considered
as proper spheres for testing govern
ment ownership in municipalities.
In similar way for the country at
large, the railroad corporations are
the ones most likely to make regular
and systematic attempts to secure leg-
islators and executives that will be
subservient to them. "The greater
the corporation the greater the peril, -
says the Journal. That is one reason
why the people feel that the merging
process now going on is fraught with
peril to the rights of the masses. But
that merging process in some form or
other will 20 on, because it is in har-
mony with the spirit of the times. It
is waste of time and effort to try to
stop it. It would be more to the pur-
pose to study how to give the people
the full benefit Of the lessened cost of
transportation, and to deprive the
corporations of their dangerous poll
tical power. Government ownership
offers sure aud complete solution of
both problems.

MYSTERY IN
THIS DEATH.
Danish Dressmaker Said to be
frOr' IT, This s5!eiy City Dies Suddenly
in New YOrk.

The following appeared in a New
York newspaper:
MRS. Annie Nielsen Femme, Dan
ish woman, died at 10. 30 yesterday at
the home of Mary Nelson, on the top
floor of 319 Fifth street, New York,
where she had been boarding since
Tuesday night. The woman came to
the Nelson house on Monday night,
saying that she was a dressmaker
that she had lived in Perth Amboyl
and that she had left a child there.
She was looking for work in this city.
"Waldeman Christensen, 30 years
old, also Dane, accompanied her to
the house, and went away when the
woman obtained board. Last night
Christensen called, but previously to
that Mrs. Femme had said that she
was not feeling well, and went out
and bought some medicine, which she
| took. Christensen stayed until a late
hour. In the morning the dressmaker
was found writhing in pain, and she
declared that she was dying. DR..
Price, of III Second avenue, was
summoned. but the woman was dead
when he arrived. The physician
thought death might have been caused
by poison-atropine or something of
that sort.
christensen was taken before
Coroner jackson and questioned.
When shown the story this morning
Chief Burke said all he knew about
the matter was what he had read. He
declared that an effort to get any trace
of a dressma ker by that name here
had failed.
A News reporter learned that q
Danish girl of the name of Femme had
come to this city about two years ago
and had lived IN Elm street. She had
friend whose name was EChristian-
sen, but neither could be found today.

Meeting Held Last Night at
Which They Each Received
Warrant for $50.
THE DECISION DID IT.
Salaries of the Commissioners had been
Held Up But Decision of Supreme Court
Declares They have Some Powers
Transacted Some Business and Granted
One New License.

The board of Excise Commissioners
held a special meeting last night
The happening of most importance
and satisfaction to the board was their
presentation of warrants for $50 each
by City Clerk Rielley. This is their
first pay. While Mayor Seaman held
the board was an constitutional
body, they received no money. They
asked several times but never got it,
The decision of Justice Fort declares
that they have some powers and the
Mayor then ordered the commissio
paid. Five verv satisfied men left the
building after the meeting. Their
$50 each was long while coming, but
they are ready to forget and forgive
now that it has arrived.
There were several transfers and re.
newals. One new license was granted
to Michael Kennedy, of Hartford
street.

LANTERN IN HAND
WENT OVERHEARD.
John Cunningham Watchman on Le-
high Valley Wharves Had
Wetting Tuesday Night.

Men working in the boiler house at
the Lehigh Valley freight wharves
heard vigorous calls for help Tuesday
night about 7 O'Clock. Some of the
men rushed to where the voice seemed
to come and they found John Cunning
ham, the watchman on the docks, in
the water. The tide was high and
one of the men, by lying fiat OH the
dock, helped the unfortunate man out
of the wet. Had the tide been low
the matter would have proven serious
as there is nothing the man might
have clung to.
Cunningham had not noticed miss
ing string piece OH the dock and he
had sauntered off without any warn
ing. The chilly wave reused him,
however. He had gone to the water
edge to attend the needs of tug boat
and had lantern in his hand. The
rays of the lantern did not spread
very far and when the lignt struck
the water it went out with "siz. I"
Cunningham is none the worse for his
wetting.

Wolff g. Co.'S New Newark Home.

The new home in Newark which
D. Wolff & Co., have been fitting up
for themselves, is one of the hand
somest in the State. This firm has
one of the most complete stores of it's
kind in Perth Amboy when a branch
was established several years ago.
Wolff & Company have always been
known for their enterprise and when
the 'tnew store" fever struck Newark
and several changes, were made this
firm was found to be in the front
ranks and now they are getting into
their new home. The building is
situated on Market street not far from
their old home and is q credit to that
thoroughfare. Since the branch was
established here it has become one of
the leading shopping places in this
section.
