THE WATER SUPPLY.

The Newark Evening News generally
makes itself acquainted with all the
facts In q case before 1t proceeds to
lay the matter before the public.
Especially is this true of it's editorial
column. but last night n of it's ed
itorial writer's. who doubtless has
inst returned from his two weeKs va
cation and has not yet fully recovered
from his dreams of the forest and
streams, indulged in writing q com
ment on the water supply Of Central
dew Jersey agRydIf he u 80 as TO
piun1rrnsFa5 sns ultimRts outoome
will be.
This made very interesting reading.
It seems that some day in the future
Perth Amboy will have it's water
brought from the hills Of Somerset
and Hunterdon counties by gravity
ana the city will be at the mercy of
q great syndicate which will impose
a noble tribute for every gallon thus
consumed. Already. according to the
New ark News. South Plainiekl and
Perth Amboy tare supplied by the
Union Water Company.
l1UZL
II the writer of that editorial will
take the trouble to look through last
Sunday issue of his own paper he
will soc not only an account of the
three latest artesian wells driven at
Runyon where this city owns its own
water supply, but he will also see two
pictures of the pure, spark ling waiter
gushing from the ends of the iron
pipes through which it rushes from a
depth of nearly 800 feet beneath the
surface.
1t is estimated by the city engineer
that sixteen of these wells will supply
the city with all the water it now re
quires and there is room for many
besides these, while the flow of some
of the last ones driven is greater than
the first without diminishing the sup
ply of the others. Not only does the
city possess these wells, but there Ia
. good sized.stream which now sup
plies part of the water sent to this
city daily. This is not decreasing in
volume as the number of wells grow.
We admit that Perth Amboy never
4 have, at Runyon, a su pply equal
to the mntohless water system pos
sessed by Newark. Few cities in
the country oah ever equal Newark in
this particular, but Perth Amboy't
water supply is ample for n great
many years to come and 1t is owned
By the city, too. All it needs il
sufficient. funds to develop it and this
is rapidly being granted. SO that any
one who sees Perth Amboy ~fatteninR
the pocket OF n water syndicate
must be looking far into the future
indeed.

L POLITICAL BLACKMAlLER.

Prof Bernard Mosss, historian OF
the University of California, thinks
that the Urited STATES made q great
mistake 10 giving the native Hawaii
sns the right to vote. He declared
in Q lecture before his class that the
system of government in the Islands
have never been euoh ss TO ft the
people for the elective privilege AZ
understood ard erjoyed on the
mainland. He av RS 10 addition that
the wide open franchise hiss had the
the effect OF stemmipg hsalthful
political influences, the good work
of csrtain part of The Islands COM
munity being Offset by the surplus
OF voters on the other side.
Professor Moss takes precisely
the "missionsry" view OF local con-
ditions, aud his idsss we're undoubt-
edly inspired from that source. Per-
haps not around Berkeley, but in
other parts OF Californis and in
other States there ere to be found
factions that think they can run
things . great deal better than a
majority OF the people. They might,
really, be able TO do So; but in carry.
ing out any such scheme there
would occur a signal departure from
the original of American govern,
msat, which coatemplates equal
rights to all.
