THE 21.FooT

The completion of the twenty-one-
foot channel from Sandy Hook, as
far as Port Reading, marks progress
in an excellent work. AS soon as the
channel is finished all the way
through the sound to New York bay
we can look for more factories along
the shore between here and Elizabeth.
The commerce of this port has in
creased enormously within the past
few years and two regular lines of
steamers are now running between
the American Smelling and Refining
Company's plant and the Barber AS
phalt works and South American
ports. This is made possible by the
excellent water facilities here and the
more the harbor is developed the
more commerce can be expected.
Trembley, has always been a difficult
point to reach. Often steamers have
been forced to unload part of their
cargo here before proceeding up the
sound. With the channel deepened
this inconvenience will be overcome.
Perth Amboy's harbor is one of the
best protected along the Atlantic
coast and 1t is deserving of the great
est development.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.


The ColbyiteS were responsible for
the passage of whatsoever measures
of a progressive character adopted
by last winters session of the legis-
lature. They compelled the machine
to give the people a law making the
railroads pay more nearly their pro-
per share of taxes. They forced the
State House ring to limit franchise
grants. They effected the passage of
a bill providing for the taxation of
franchises, not the just bill the Col
byites themselves would have had,
but one, nevertheless, that promises
a somewhat larger return from the
enormously valuable privileges enjoy
ed by private corporations. they
brought on the insurance investiga-
ton of which, however, the machine
committee made a farce. They fav-
ored, but without avail, a bill per-
hitting the voters to express their
choice for United States senator, var
ious primary reform measures, a cor
rupt practices act, the repeal of the
iniquitous promoters liability law,
an effective jury reform act, civil SER
vice reform, popular recall and anti
lobby bills, the majority of the latter
being killed in committee. The boss
es did not even dare to permit their
Legislative automatons to vote upon
them.
There will be but one new idea
republican in the coming legislature,
and it can be readily imagined what
sort of legislation will be had in the
