The population statistics of New

British colonies. especially fin South
Africa, as to the advantagfI attending

London Globe. DuringfI the three
months, the excess of ARRIVALS over de-
partures in the premier Australian col
ony was less than 1000 and the annual
increase of population Through immi-
grafton consequently falls short of
1900. At that rate, if will take New
South Wales 25 years fol obtain 100, 900
new settlers from the Outside world.

COMMENT.

Now there is no need for wasting
the opening week. The committees
are ready to meet, and there is no
reason why the Legislature should adj
iourn on Tuesday until the following
Monday night. All of the bills which
can be introduced at the opening
should be placed upon the calendar
and referred to the committees which
are to consider them. There is nothing
III sight to distract the Legislature
from business and no reason why it
should not get down to work at
once Jersey City Journal.
1t would seem as if the sensational
press were again exaggerating the
eonttitiuhs and their possibilities at
Kishineff. The American people are
ever ready to do all in their power, IN
any event, all that is reasonable, on
behalf of any afflicted race, but they
are much adverse, on the other hand,
to having the situation misrepresent-
ed, nor do they relish this catering to
the rash and u%nthoughful among
them. Elizabeth Times.
Abont oneshalf the men of Glouces-
ter City are liable to begin the new
year under arrest, because they failed
to pay their poll tax. The truth of
the matter is that the Gloucester City
authorities are the ones who should
be arrested. The reason half the men
Of that place are delinquents is not
because they cannot or will not pay,
but because the tax collectors neglec-
ted, for many years, to do their dut1
under the law, until the taxpayers
believed that they were not required
to pay poll taxes. And now, stirred
: up by a revised tax law, the Glouoes-
ter City officials have made q list OF
all who have long encouraged to be.
come d%elinquents. and will probably
order the collectors to collect the ar
rears of poll taxes or arrest those who
decline to pay. If the collection OF
poll taxes has no other effect il will
be q step in the direction of equality
in all parts of the State. There is nc
room and not Justice in remitt1ng pol
taxes in one place and collecting them
in others. The law should either be
abolished or everywhere enforced

NEWARK WANTS. TO4
Be SEAPORT TOWN,
Plan for Big Ship Canal Across the
Meadows TO New York
HarbOr.

In line with the editorial published
III the Newark Evening News Monday
night in which thesspracticability of &
ship canal connecting that city will
New York Bay was pointed out,
Joseph Labadie, an Orange engineer,
showed a News reporter how the
canal could be built and how NewarH
could be actually made a seaport
town within ten years.
1t would be Mr.. Labadie's plan ts
dredge out a channel about 1900 fee
wide from the foot of New York ave.
nue. southeast to the Newark Bay,
entering that body of water neal
where the present bulkhead is located,
At this point the channel is from
twelve to fifteen feet deep, and a very
short distance south it deepens te
eighteen feet, which, he says, is ample
to admit steamships of ordinary draft,
The engineers plan includes deepen.
ing the bay at the shallow point, t1
eighteen feet.
Iu building the Newark canal, Mr..
Labadie says ne would have the city
of Newark purchase a hydraulic
dredge; then, starting from the bay,
he would suction out a channel toward
Newark, %deposjting the silt and rock
on the territory on the south, build
ing q wooden bulkhead on that side
as he progressed, working toward the
city until he reached the foot of the
street, whion ends on an island in the
middle of the morass. Than, turning,
he declares, the dredge could be
brought down again, a bulkhead OF
retaining wall being built on the
north side rs the dredge went bach
and the silt procured OH the return
trip being deposited on the south side.
Mr.. Labadie believes that it would
take about ten years to complete the
job, and at tho completion of the
work, the CITY would have a shit
canal, quarter of q mile wide. with
firm land on each side which could bt
used for factory sites. The estimated
cost per year for the dredging, Mr.,
Labadie thinks, would be about $25,
600, which he says Is about what il
costs to maintain O dredge in Calves
ton.
"With this waterway" saih Mr.
Labadie, Newark would have direc
communication with any port in thu
world. Shipments for foreign port'
would not have to be transported Il
New York; instead Newark, with hei
vast manufacturing interests, coult
command the steamship companies
which would undoubtedly construc
piers and h we steamships connecting
directly with that city. The plal
brings out the canal at the very found
alton of the town, aud it would no be
long before factories would quickl,
cluster around the canal. In addition
to this, freight for domestic point!
could be received in Newark at New
York rates."
Mr.. Labadie says that re believe
that after the work on the canal ]
we'll under way the government woult
step in and further deepen the chan
mel in Newark Bay without expense
to Newark. AS for the channel a
cross Bergen Point, gMr. Labadie be
lieves that to be important, but no
essential. In the event of the Morri
Canal being abandoned, he thinks thu
channel across Bergen Point, roS
utilized by the Morris Canal, could b
used in part.

draw the letters on paper, basting this

taken to leave Sits of the leather I'M

To lace the leather together pur-
chase eyelets like those used in shoes
for 25 cents a box. One box contains
several hundred eyelets. BY means OF
an nwl punch holes in the leather
