nicipal ownership idea in this coun-
try during te past five years is mani
tested everywhere, but in no place
is it more in evidence than in New

The election of Mcclellan is prac-
tically assured, but it is very prob
able that Hearst will poll the next

with which he is greeted throughout

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Newark Advertiser

Newark Advertiser:
Every once III awhile comes a
sharp warming of the danger that lies
in the persistent neglect of the rafl1
roads to provide an extra man for
the crew of each locomotive. Such
a warning came to the management
of the Hudson River Railroad the
other day. The engineer of the AL
bany express, on the road between
Croton and O~ssining, discovered that
the steam was decreasing, and an in
vestigation found the fireman in con-
vulsions on the floor of the tender.
The man was taken TO a hospital and
during the day suffered fifteen at
tacks of commissions.
This is a reversal of the usual form
of these mishaps, but there is almost
as much danger to the travelling pub
lie in the Isl of the fremen being
stricken as of the engineer. Either

TUESDAY, OCTOBER "a. !
THE MOSQUITO CAMPAIGN.

For the benefit of those who still
doubt the possibility of clearing New
Jersey of mosquitoes we repeat the
following portion of an editorial in
last nights Newark Evening News:
There may be some people who do
not yet believe in the efficiency of the
crusade against mosquitoes, but they
do not belong to active, intelligent
boards of health, nor have they
made themselves acquainted with the
work already accomplished in the ex-
termination of this pest. There are
people who do not believe in vaccina-
ton, though DR.. Jenner discovered
this protection against smallpox at
the beginning of the nineteenth cen
fury. There are those who scout at
the use of antitoXin, though thous-
ands of lives have been saved by it
and the ravages of diphtheria have
been marvelously decreased through
its agency.
1.-THE mosquito crusade has not yet
y accomplished its full purpose, for the
folrsson that it has not yet been adop-
by, the n carried into effect wherever
that he hanosbreed. The people have
hHdAto be educated, first to a knowl-
edge of the subject and then to a de-
sire to help along the good work. 1t
takes some time to change the senti-
ment in a whole state from that of
.t1fo11lo m nnA Af Upntafnl a,.raofa.
tion and active interest. This pro-
cess is now going on, the crusade is
broadening year by year, and the
mosquitoes are undeniably being ex-
terminated in areas through which
they formerly swarmed unmolected.' .
We are reminded by this that
plans have been drawn and the cam
paign mapped out for driving the
mosquitoes from the Raritan valley
between this city and New Bruins
wick. Prof. Smith is ready to begin
the work as soon as the municipali-
ties to be benefited will raise the
necessary $1,000, which the proposed
work, it is said. will cost. There i:
no denying that $1,000 of the tax
payers money could not be better
spent than in cleaning out this pes
