EDITORIAL COMMENT.


Paterson Guardian:
The freehOlders will make no mis-
take if they decide to abolish the
w0rkhouse in connection with the
county jail. 1t is an institution which
costs the taxpayers a lot of money,
and any benefit is problematical. As
an auxiliary TO the penal institution
it is a failure; the men SEM to jail
would rather work outdoors than be
confined inside.
If the system were self-sustaining.
it would be different, and to estab-
lish this fact the freeholders should
make some comparison with receipts
and expenditures in the past rather
than for some stated period in the
future. If il takes one man to keep
four prisoners at work. Che margin
of profit to the county must neco.sar-
lily be small.
The question Of what to do with
the prisoners in the county jail is one
to require considerable thought on
the part of the freeholders, because
so many abuses existed under the old
system.

A BILL TO BE Defeated.

-Congressman Wiley is somewhat
premature in his effort to have the
government spend the peoples mon
ey to dig a ditch across the Newark
meadows simply to accommodate
some capitalists and a few railroad
companies. 1t is announced that Mr..
Wiley has the railroad interests back
of him, and we'll he might. These
corporations are always anxious to
get the government to spend public
money for their advantage.
If a few factories should be built
back in the mountains of Pennsyl-
vania, because land is cheap, and the
railroads should buy up a few acres,
which they desire to develop, some
effort would be made to have a ship
canal or something else built at pub
lie expense so that they could fatten
their pockets.
Newark is a great city and many
manufacturers have located there.
But they did so with the full knowl-
edge of Newark's location and in
land position. Having built a fac
tory in an inland city. on what
ground do these manufacturers ask
the public to make their plants more
valuable by spending public money
10 give it water frontage?
There might be some reason if all
the available sites along deep water
were occupied. But they are not. 1t
is natural hat land with a deep wa
ter frontage should cost more, but
that is nc aso why d manufacturer
should locate where land is cheap
and then ask the government to make
his site as valuable as the other at
\public expense.
Met the factories come to the wa
ten and not ask the government to
take\the water to them. If they want
to build a canal at their wi expense,
there could be no objection and that
would be the natural thing to do.
Tho railroads own a great portion
of the land which would be benefit
ted by the proposed ship canal to
Newark. OF course they will back
Congressman Wiley. Nothing vould
please these big corporations better
than to have the peoples money used
TO develop this land.

meadows for the benefit of a few self

THE NEW ENGINE HOUSE
NO. 1e, ON CROWN STR EFT, NOV
 IN COMMISSION.

House is Equipped With All the Latest
 Deyices--shOwer Bath Installed for
 the Use of the Men--Cnptain George
 S. Barrows i'm COmmand--Eng zine is
 the One That Went to Fight the Wa
 terbury COnhagration--Name of
 Those Who Make Up the Company.
 The new fire station on Crown street, which will be designated as No. 12's en- zine house, went into commission at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. At the same time the several transfers made in the departmnt also went into opera tion. The new house is a model one in every respect and is equipped with all the latest appliances used in the ser vice The mems quarters have been made as comfortable and attractive as possible. A shower bath for their use has been installed, and this comfort the men appreciate very much. Captain G. S. Barrows Is in command. He is a man of considerable experience and Is well fitted for the important position. He was lieutenant of steamer No. 8, and for the last two months has acted as captain of that station. He was In charge of the engine which went to fight the Waterbury fire, and the same engine Is the one now In commission at the Crown street house. Captain Bar rows said last night that he was highly pleased with the house and it's equlp- ment. He was satisfied that he had a capable and willing crew with him and the boys were determined to do the best they could, and If possible make it one of the best in the department. The public, he said, must not expect any thing in the way of smart turn outs at present. as they were handicapped in several ways. The harness and other things would take some time before it will run as smooth as they would like it, and then they had three hors 6 which were virtually green a. the work to contend with. These things of course would right themselves in course of time, and after that everything would go along smoothly. The lieutenant of the company is T, I. Tyndell who is a man of considerable experience in the fire department, and is ably qualified tc fill the position he occupies. The other members are: Engineer, c. M. Miller; assistant engineer, Joseph P. Robert; hosemen, G. s. Woodruff, James Kava- naugh, Thomas Galligan, Arthur P. Jackson, John F. Goldrieh, Thomas Me. | Queeney and George A. Rose.

 When asked tonight how matters stood in the soft-coal fields President Mitchell said,
 q am constantly receiving informa- tion from all the soft-coal districts and can say that matters in those sections are entirely satisfactory to me. Every thing is turning out as I expected and I believe the situation in the west will soon be cleared up"
 When President Mitchell was inform ed that President Roosevelt had declin- ed to interfere with the soft-coal trou- bles he showed great interest, and in- quired if the text of the presidents communication had been made public. | He refused to comment on the presi- dents action, but he plainly showed he was much gratified at the stand the president had taken.
 President Mitchell tonight made pub lie a copy of the letter he sent to Gov ernor Pennypacker. of Pennsylvania, who had asked the miners and opera tors to make every reasonable effort to end the present labor troubles without resort to strike. The letter reads:
 Dear Sir-Repiying to your note of March 31, which was forwarded to me at New York, I beg to assure you that every reasonable effort will be made by the mine workers to secure settle ment of their differences with the an- thracite operators without recourse to a strike. 1 am,

THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The Influence of
 Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestlmated.

Seven-eighths of the men in this world marry B woman because she is beautiful in their eyes because she has the quail ties which inspire admira- tion, respect and love.
 There is a beauty in health which Is more att tractive to men than mere regularity of feature. The influence of women glorious in the possession of perfect physical health upon men and upon the civilization of the world could never be measured. Because of them men have attained the very heights of ambition; because of them even thrones have been established and de- stroyed.
 What a disappointment, then, to see the fair young wife's beauty fading away before a year passes over her head! A sickly, half dead-and-alive woman, especially when she is the mother of 8 family, is a damper to all joyous ness in the home, and a drag upon her husband.
