AN INQUIRY ASKED.
Gen. Sickles Asks President to Have
investigation Made.

New York, June 19.-Gen. Daniel E.
Sickles, a member of the board of al
dermen, late Saturday afternoon, sent
the following communication to the
President:
June IS, 1904.
MY Dear President Roosevelt:
Il have just returned from a meet
ing of the board of aldermen, it being
in reference to the awful calamity
which came to us, last Wednesday,
the lost of the steamboat Gen. Slocum,
in which nearly 1000 of our women and
children persisted.
This misfortune has touched every
heart in the municipality and has
brought sympathy to US from every
part of the world.
of course you have already taken
such steps in the right direction as be-
comes your office, but l trust you will
not regard it amiss to receive a sug-
gestion or two from one of the city
fathers.
There is an impression here that the
federal officials charged with the duty
of inspecting steamboats, have been
negligent and inefficient, and that they
are STdNely i'll Iiult Ill Iiol iidNHiS uoile
what they might have done to avoid
what has happened.
Pray see that these steamboat in
spectors shall be competent and trust
worthy and if further legislation he
necessary to provide safeguards for the
future, ask Congress to provide them.
"You will agree with me, l am sure,
that a prompt and thorough investiga-
ton of all the facts is of prime import
ance, as well as to fix responsibility for
the past as to provide guaranty for the
future. Sincerely yours,
DANIEL E. SICKLES."

 Big companies have sustained this camp. Our company has borne a heavy expense. has done a great share of grubstaking, and has made nothing here. We propose to quit giving credit. and either make something for ourselves or have goods left.
 Unless we take this precaution against more stringent conditions we will have to quit the field. Our prices have been reduced and our expenses remain the same.

THERE WAS COMPETITION.

The city welcomes competition in
asphalt paving. Judging from the
way petitions are coming in to the
aldermen tor this kind of material on
streets, there will bessplenty more col
tracts to be given out and with COM
petitive bidding Perth Amboy will
reap the benefit. 1t was hardly to be
supposed that competition would be
developed On just the one block in
Smith street, but the fact that two bids
were offered shows that Perth Amboy
is going to get the work done in its
streets at rock bottom prices. The
more there is the better for the tax
payers. Let there be competition in
all paving contracts and the city will
not be fattening the pockets Of any
trust or monopoly.

AN OFFICIAL PAPER.

Mayor Seaman returned, unsigned,

Evening News an official paper OF the
city. The resolution becomes a law,
however, and in spite of the Mayors
personal dislike for its out-spoken
policy the News will got its just share
of the city work as 1T did before it
fell out Of favor with His Honor.
Tho Mayor gave the News plenty of
opportunity to ask him to sign this
resolution, but no representative or
agent of this paper ever mentioned the
90 ct to him, knowing full we'll
~s75 real representatives Of the
people were unanimous in favor of
the News and that, judging from the
Mayors past actions. nothing but a
veto was to be expected. He pleads
city economy as his excuse, but to
those acquainted with the inside Of
the affair, it is all politics and per-
sonal dislike for a newspaper which
has not beens afraid to criticize him
side of a question. The News had been
warned long ago what to expect. The
word wa passed that the paper had
better "get in line" Wonder what
was meant? Upon several occasions
the ''get in line" PROPOSE tion was put
to the News, but it failed to "get
in" 1t was something new for a
newspaper to dare publish anything
detrimental to the Mayor; it bothered
his political schemes and gave the
people too much to talk about. But
the people liked it and the avs cir
culation continued to grow.
Then came the hold-up of the war
rants. The effort to ''scare'' the News
"into line" had failed so the Mayor
refused tol RigH the warrants drawn to
the orderOf thus paper When asked
the cause he admitted, as one of his
reasons, tiths News had not hest
tated to criticize him whenever it saw

1t would seem-tllat the Mayor has
a thin skin: rTtpman, when, but a
few months ago proudly declared that
the utterances of the press had no
effect upon him, was squirming. He
wanted to have nice things said about
him all the time, patted on the back
and praised. He would then feel that
he was doing something for the city
and would declare proudly that the
press had no effect on him.
But the Mayor insisted upon getting
