COMMENT.

Tho Trenton Common Council has
passed an ordinance prohibiting the
II sc Of gongs and steam whistles for
advertising purposes. It is intended
to stop a nuisance created by timer
ant vendors of ice cream and peanuts.
Something of that kind would be
welcome in this city, and more so if
it included that jangling discord pro-
duced by Junk wagons. Jersey City
Journal.
The good that can be derived by
such professional gatherings as that
of the physicians and surgeons, now
in session at Atlantic City, may be
appreciated by the fact that at this
session one surgeon has pointed out a
source (preventible) of cancer, and an
other has asserted and demonstrated
a cure for Bright's disease. The
latter asserts that in its early stages
the disease is trGctable and may be
met by the injection into the kidneys
of certain medicines, in doses too
great to be taken through the diges-
tive tract. --Trenton True American.
Gar wood Ferris, supervising en-
gineer of Jersey City's new water
supply system. comes forward, as we
knew he must sooner or later, with q
request that the city provide for tri-
weekly meteorological tests of the
water at Boonton and the water in
the tributary streams.
This will or ought to mean the
establishment of q meteorological
laboratory and the employment of a
competent bacteriologist, and
though the institution and the man
will cost a lot of money it will be
found that both are quite necessa ry..
Water taken from a reservoir where it
has been stored for weeks and months,
practically slagnant, requires constant
watching One case of typhoid fever
along Il tributary stream might, il the
germs got into the water and were
u%udetected, kill several thousands of
people in Jersey. City before the use
of the water could be discontinued
There is nowhere near so much
danger when water is taken directly
from a river or other running streams
were it is constantly n~ereating and
purifying itself.
Reservoir water can be the best or
the worst in the world. When it is
bad it is deadly. Ithaca found this out
last year and so did other cities.

When he goes to the Democratic
primaries next fall it wouldn't be
surprising il he was challenged and
made to tell how inc voted at the last
election. Not being Sin" with May.
or Seaman crowd he can't seem to
land much pap for his constituents,
as it all passes through the Mayors

for the Republican kite, however,
and is being used in excellent style
TO keep the party which elected him
down. There are queer combinations
in the city official ranks. 1t is one
great game of politics and if personal
aims cannot be accomplished along
with city business, the city's interest
is allowed to suffer.
