Now Mercer county is getting ioal-
GUS of Middlesex and Passaic counties
where the people are to be given a
chance to abolish the Board of Free
holders this fall. Here is what the
Trenton Times says a bout it:
The Board of Freeholders of Hunter
don county spent $l06, 500 during the
last year, and left the county in debt.
The new commission Of seven mem
beers which succeeded the f%reeholders
will spend but $64. 6C6. Al, q saving of
$42, 0OO. in a year. If Mercer can effect
q saving of forty per cent. in the cost
Of maintain in the county govern
ment bv adopting the Strong Commits
sion not. it will be worth while look
ing up that petition that was prepared
last year asking that the question OF
| abolishing the Board of Freeholders
! be submitted to popular vote. Seven
men can do the work better aud much
cheaper than it is now done.

NO MACHINES FOR MIDDLEsEx.

In the placing Of the one hundred
and ninety new voting machines
which are to be used in the election
this fall, Miidlesex and Atlantic
counties were left out. In Atlantic
county this was due to the failure to
answer the communications of the
secretary of State relative TO the plao-
ing of the machines. Middlesex, it is
said, did not get any because the
officials here said tn ey did not want
them. Who are these officials who
are authorized 10 speak for the voters
of Middlesex in this regard? Middle
sci docs not want 10 take a back seat
in anything. If there is a more

The Perth Amboy Evening News
extends its congratulations to the
Newark Evening News. Yesterday
that newspaper attained its majority,
it being its twenty-first birthday. To
say that tie Newark Evening News is
the leading paper in the State is not
giving it due credit by half. 1t has
long been the dean of newspaper
dom in New Jersey, but it's standard
carries it far teyonl, and places il
among the leading and most infiuent-
ial papers OF the ooun try. It is the
best evening paper published, being
thoroughly reliable and possessing all
the modern appliances which are nee
essary to make a newspaper of the
first rank. May the Newark Evening
News long continue in its presen,
high position, leading and shapi'
public opinion for the betterment Of
the commonwealth.

Mr.. NIXON IN PERTH AMBoY.

The interview with Lewis Nixon,
published in yesterday Evening
News, was read with interest
throughout the city. Since the ship
yard opened here 1t has boon almost
impossible to obtain any information
regarding the place, what the new
proprietor thought Of the location or
how long he intended to stay. This
was because MI. Nixon was in Europe
aud none of his local representatives
would speak for him.
Yesterday, however, the Evening
News secured an interview with the
proprietor himself and learned q few
things the people have been wanting
to know. II is gratifying to Perth
Amboy that the famous %shipbuilder
is satisfied with the watei front here
as q place for building ships and that
no intends to stay indefinitely as long
!, 4 labor conditions are satisfactory.
Remembering how the strikes and la
Dor disorders were the first real cause
of closing down the Elizabethport
yard, it is safe to say that local labor
lenders have enough local pride and a
desire to see PerthAmboy advance, to
leave the place alone as long as the
men working there arc treated fairly.
1t is particularly pleasing to know
that Mr.. Nixon takes such on interest
in the city itself. 1t looks good and
gives tho impression that at last Perth
Amboy is going to have n shipyard
worthy the name. MI Nixon and his
industry are welcomed to Perth Am
boy. We hope he'll find everything
agreeable and that all will work to
mutual advantage.
