circulated among the properly ownt rs
d ,wn that way for the improvement
That's good. Let the good.woik go on.
Paved streets is one of the greatest
needs of Perth Amboy today. If You

Rector street tomorrow and note the
change there. This is an age of pro-

acts of the Middelesex County Board
of Freeholders, are somewhat disap-
pointing. The investigation has been
IN progress for owe a year and from
time to time reports have been pub
lished to the effect that very signifi-
cant disclosures had been made. But
Justice Fort has ordered the investiga-
tion to cease, because it did not d.
vulge anything that could be char
aetefized as of q criminal nature.
"There were Irregularities, the
court said, and some neglect, partlc-
nlarly in the making of bills and in
tho per diem charges, but II county
auditor has been appointed who will
doubtless do his duty int prevent
such charges from being made by any
of the freeholderS in the future. The
taxpayers of Middlesex county were
right, therefore, in demanding an in
vestigation, even though il turns out
that the county business has neen so
conducted aa to escape technical in
dictments for criminality. The fact
that the court finds the board guilty
of irregularity and some neglect, and
relies on m auditor to prevent the
repetition of such things in the fu-
ture, is sufficient proof that the board
has moi earned and does not deserve
the confidence of the people.
Zone thing now remains to be done,
/ and this il, to abolish the freeholder
| system md adout q commission. This
nay he done at the cunning s~,eotion.
Is the necessary PETITIONS have been
filed. 1t will certainly be better md
| cheaper to have q commission than a
board that indulRes in irregularities
aud neglect in making ont proper per
diem bills. and that needs m auditor
over it to protect the people. II the
Hunterdon county commission eau
cut down the county expenses forty per
cent. in n single year. o MiddleseS
county commission could certainly be
likely to do as much"

tory-London War Office Amazed
at Japanese's Steady Advance.

London. May 9.-Baron Hayashi
the Japanese minister. today said he
considered that the next probably i'm,
portant land engagement would occur
at Lao Yang. He thinks General
Kuroki Is advancing steadily, believes
Kuropatkin will await him and does
not think 1. likely that the Russians
will assume the offensive.
The minister then made this signif.
cant statement: Our land advance
must depend largely upon our com
missary arrangements. The army
supply department, l think, will be
able to cope with the forward move
ment, say on Mukden. Hardin or Vlad,
ivostok."
Continuing. he said: in the event
of the Japanese occupation of New
Chwang, a civil administration will be
installed Immediately, as was done
during the Chinese-Japanese war,
ports will be opened to all nations.
Admiral Togo now probably will dock
a part of his fleet and give the men a
rest from the ceaseless vigil they have
kept up since last February"

New York. May 9.-There is a feel
ing here that Hearst may, after all,
carry the democratic national con-
vention. He gained much ground last
week. while Judge Parker lost, largely
on the ground of his silence on public
questions. Judge Parker is setting a
reputation for temporizfng, and being
coloriess and timid, on account of his
refusing to come out boldly and an
nounce his position on the questions
Of the hour. His only active friend is
August Belmont, but as that banker
represents the big corporations only,
the democratic rank and file scarcely
regard him as the kind of man to
boom the democratic presidential can
didate.
