FIRE INSURANCE.

The fire insurance companies may
yet be brought before the public to
show their true inward workings and
we may then be able to see more
clearly just what is meant by all these
sudden increases in rates such as
Perth Amboy has just experienced.
Speaking along this line the Newark
Advertiser says:
One of our enterprising state con-
temporaries proposes that the legis-
lature shall order an investigation of
the fire insurance companies. There
is no doubt" says the contemporary,
'tbut that the business is very p%rofita-
BILE, otherwise the companies would
not be able to erect and occupy costly
buildings and pay handsome salaries
to their officers, as we'll as liberal
commissions to their agents"
The reason offered for an inquisi-
ton into the management of fire in
surance may be criticised as not alto
gether adequate, but it must be con
fessed that it is equally as good as
the argument for a legislative investi-
cation of life insurance and trust
companies.
1t may be asked, also, if one class
of insurance companies shall be sub
jected to all the notoriety, inconve-
tive inquiry of the character propos-
ed, why other classes should be eX-
empt from the same pains and penal
ties for doing a successful business,
adorEing our cities with fine architec-
ture and paying good wages to Off
GERS and employees.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Trenton Times:
At the hearing on the Jackson bill
10 abolish the fee system in counties,
on Monday, there was a general ad-
mission that the change should be
made, though in the quibbling over
the salaries to be established there is
discoverable yelled opposition. The
minimum compensation fixed is
$1,000 for the sheriff, surrogate and
county clerk in Ocean, Sussex and
Cape May, and it is safe to say that
there will be no difficulty in securing
in any of the three counties named
men of ability, competence and will
ingness to accept the offices at the
price, for less than which thousands
of clerks are now performing duties
quite as arduous and responsible. If
there is a weakness in the salary
feature, it is on the side of liberality
in the larger counties.

while New Brunswick is passing from
view.
1t is not going to be long before
we will have a thriving borough to
the north of us, Carteret, or Roose-
welt, as her citizens prefer to be
called. That place, with her excel
lent water facilities along Staten Is
land Sound, is destined to pass New
Brunswick before the present genera
ton has gone. In fact this end of
Middlesex county, from South AM
boy, along the water front to the
Union county line. is going to have
nine-tenths of the population. This
means that when the new county
buildings are built they will be erect
ed at Perth Amboy, which is TO be the
center of this great population. With
the county sea- will come the power
and prestige of the county and here
where most of the people live is
where the power should be. New
Brunswick may have the inside track
now, but every census shows how far
she is tagging behind in the race and,
soon as the people over here get
ready to stand together, they can do
about as they please.

THE MUNICIPAL RACE.

The Newark Evening News, last
night, published one Of its periodical
editorials on the relations between
New Brunswick and Perth Amboy.
In closing its remarks the Newark
News says: Perth Amboy is fighting
for supremacy in Middlesex county,
and the rest of the state looks with
complacency upon its increasing
strength, knowing that Perth Amboy
can never be worse politically than
what New Brunswick has been"
There is no doubt about Perth Am
boys increasing strength and as soon
as South Amboy comes to her senses
and throws over New Brunswick in
favor of Perth Amboy we'll be all
the more e~ntrenched to get what be-
longs to us. South Amboy should
realize that New Brunswick is not
going to give this end of the county
anything she can possibly help. We
might ask the borough what has it ever
received? Her lot is cast with Perth
Amboy in all things. The two places
are located at the mouth of the RNri-
tan river and at the head of RaritAn

Pueblo Mineral Palace Suit.

Pueblo.-Land in Pueblo willed to
Henry c. Brown by his wife and now
occupied by the Mineral palace and
park. is involved in the foreclosure
proceedings brought in the Unit cd
States Circuit Court by S. S. Kieter'
singer of Iowa against the city of Pu'
eblo. Arguments on The matter were
heard Wednesday before Judge Lewis
and taken under adyissment.
The land was purchased by the city
of Pueblo from Brown through the
Probate Court in 1898. kietersinger
claims that he had a prior lien on the
land in the form of mortgage exc
cuted by Brown as security for prom.
issory note. The loan has never been
repaid, he AYERS. and in default he
wants the court to sell the land.
Henry c. Brown and several others
were named as defendants in the orig
inal suit, but death has carried them
all away and only the city of Pueblo
remains to fight the claim. City Attor-
ney C. A. Highberger and his assistant,
John Martin, appeared for the munich
pality in the case.

Union Pacific May Build Cutoff.

Cheyenne.-Union Pacific surveyors
have been at work for some time run
ming a line from Borie on the main
line west of here. to Carr, on the Den
yer Pacific, and 1t Is said the company
has decided to build line over that
route to take care of the Denver and
other southern trade toward the west.
This would avoid entirely the trouble
some Athol hill. saving a long pull up
and a long brake down. For many
years the Union Pacific has been look
ing for some way to avoid this long
Grade. and a short time ago it seriously
considered the advisability of making
a cut through the hill, at the expense
of hundreds of thousands of 'nllars.
The new route will make differ
ence of nearly two hours in the time
from Denver west, and Denver-Port'
land train would be put on to take care
of the passenger traffic 10 the south.
This would cut Cheyenne OFF the Den
yer west line, but the present road
would still be maintained for the Den
ver-Cheyenne traffic.
With the avoidance of the long
Athol hill pull, much of the traffic
which has heretofore been going through
Omaha will pass over the Denver Pa
cific and on east through Kansas. TINS
would necessitate many additional
train and engine crews on the Denver
Borie line.

JEWISH HOSPITAL.
Colorado Institution for Cure Of Con.
sumptives.

Denver-Denver's delegates 10 the
annual meeting of the trustees for the
National Jewish Hospital for Consump
tives returned from Chicago bringing
assurances of the support OF the trus-
tees of the construction of a new $40
900 woman's pavilion and $4,000
chapel at the hospital on East Colfax
avenue. Ground has been broken for
the new buildings and they will be
completed by fall.
Secretary Alfred Muller of the hos
pital association said that ii was prob
able portion of the enormous Baron
de Hirsch fund would be used toward
establishing a trades school in Gonnec-
tion with the hospital. In the course
of his recommendations President
Samuel Grabfeldt of Philadelphia sail
that he considered the trades school
one of the greatest necessities of the
institution. Many patients who are
sent to Colorado from the East are
forced to spend the rest of their lives
in Colorado. Many have no trade with
which they can earn their own way
and 1t Is almost impossible to dis
charge them to shift for themselves
without first teaching them some
trade.
1t was also recommended that Eng
lish be taught the patients in the H.
stitution. Many of these are Russians
who have lived in America "A compara-
lively brief time and who cannot speak
English. When discharged from the
hospital, if they be unable to speaN
English, their difficulty in finding en-
ployment to support themselves and
their families is greatly increased.
President Grabfelder also suggested
that loan fund to care for cured pa
tients the first few months after their
discharge from the hospital be estab'
lished This suggestion met with i'm
mediate favor. Philadelphia pledged
Sl,5OO toward establishing the fund.
Chicago and St Louis each pledged
$1,000, and before the meeting was
over, nearly $4,000. as nest egg
for the. fund, was in sight.
