made to bring the law into d~isfavor.
If, for some cause or another, the
republican party should not carry the
next election it Is bound to be said
that the bishops act did it and the
victors will be urged to repeal it.
In the face of this opposition it is
the duty of those favoring a clean
Sunday to hold firmly to that which
has already been gained.
If the law is kept on the statute
books for a year or two and the
authorities do their duty in enforc-
ing it, all will soon grow accustom-
ed to the conditions and it will come
just as natural to have a lawful Sun

BRIDGE ACROSS THE SOUND.

The appointment of bridge COM
missioners by both New York and
New Jersey to consider the building
of a bridge. or bridges across the wat
ers separating the two states on the
east opens a way for Perth Amboy
and Staten Island to get busy on the
project that was agitated a few years
ago as a campaign argument, to
build a bridge across the sound be-
tween this city and T~ottenville.
1t was then planned to have the
bridge at the foot of Market street
and to touch Staten Island on the
bluff a little to the north of the
point opposite.
A new argument in favor of such
a bridge can now be advanced with
the completion of the Staten Island
boulevard all the way through to
Tottenville. This boulevard is at
present a broad, handsome highway,
extending from st. George as far as
Annadale. A, survey is now being
made for its completion to the south
ern terminus of the island.
But it should not be allowed to
end there. A handsome suspension
bridge should span the sound where
the boulevard ends and should land
all the through travel directly in this
city from whence it could spread out
across New Jersey as 1t desired. Such
a bridge would be a big thing for
both Staten Island and Perth AM
boy as well as all New Jersey. The
bridge commissioners should not be
allowed to disband until they have
taken up such a project and given
it their serious consideration. !,

TIME WILL TELL.

Success or failure of the bishops
act' does not rest with a single Sum
day. To judge it correctly several
months must pass, that the novelty
of the thing may wear off and people
cease to talk about it. Then, If the
saloons still remain closed and the
screens are still drawn so that a full
view of the interior of every barroom
can be had from the street, the law
is a decided success and is a great vic
tory for decency and order. Other
wise, 1t will be a blank failure. and
will either be repealed or ignored alb
solutely, as SO many other statutes
are.
AS far as last Sunday was con-
cerned 1t was a great success. This
city was closed up as tight as a drum,
and, with the exception of one OIL two
places, it was the same all over the
state. The result is gratifying to ev-
cry law abiding, peace loving citizen.
In the FIRST place there was not an ar
rest for drunkenness in the city and
not a really drunken man was seen
on the streets, something exceedingly
unusual. True, upon the arrival OF
the Staten Island f%erryboat, several
characters would land who bore evil
dence that all was not dry across the
sound, but the police were oh hand
ready to take any who had INDUCED
to excess. They saw none.
In the second place, saloon keepers
and bartenders enjoyed what they
called their first Sunday off in many
years, and were able to spend the
day in the open with their families.
The young men who frequent the sa-
looms during idle hours, were all So
Der and spent a Sunday in respecta-
bility. While many thirsty ones went
to Tottenville, they did not return
a b~oisterous, rowdy crowd that some
predicted. All in all, the city was
quiet and law abiding. Respectable
people could about without
having the evidence of rum Haunted
in their faces. Il was a Sunday which
was thoroughly enjoyed by a vast
majority of the people.

reading of section al of the new eX'
else law he had COME to the conclu-
sion that it was contradictory and did
not require the removal of screens
from the windows of saloons on Sun
day unless the court made IN order
to that effect. He, did not feel called
UPON to make the order.
Though the judge is wrong, it is
not surprising that he came to such
a conclusion He IS a very well edu-
Gated gentleman, used to reading
good English literature. Section Il
of the new excise act, like all the rest
of the law, is written in a o be-
tween gutter snipe volapuk and Ar
temus Ward humor.
When a mind is trained to the
beautiful simplicity of the mother
tongue, it is impossible to easily
craps so illiterate a combination of
words as that which the legislature
approved. One must lie abed with
that section for a week and study it
to understand it.
We confess to having spent a fort
night puzzling over it before we
could grasp it's meaning. Robert s.
Hudspeth, counsel for the Hudson
County Liquor Dealers Association,
who is brighter, mastered it in a
week, but he gave up fourteen hours
q day to the task.
After Judge Booraem shall have
read the section about 100 times
more it will dawn upon him that
what the legislature was feebly try
ing to say was that screens must be

them down.-Hoboken Observer.
