JUDGE RUNYoN's EXAMPLE,.

Judge Runyon, of Plainfield, has
shown that the reform movement
headed by Senator Colby, and repre-
sented in this county by Alexander
r. Fordyce, Jr., has come to stay.
The Plainfield judge recently left the
machine and became one of Colby's
heutenants In Union county. This was
a hard blow to the ring and all kinds
of inducements have been offered to
win him back. He has been offered
the surrogate's Office and the county
judgeship, but he has declined all and
will stick to reform. He says the
present state of affairs in politics is
beyond all imagination until one
comes in actual contact with the ring
rule, and he prefers to serve the peo-
ple rather than have honors thrust
upon him from such a source.
The Colby movement is growing.
1t is to free the people from bossism
and corporation control. 1t will put
the people in charge of their own gov
eminent. Colby was alone in the sem
ate last year, but Middlesex is going
to send Fordyce to aid him this fall.
The people can be depended upon to
act for their own interests.

FRIDAY, MAY A
KNOWN TwO WEEKS AGO.

Senator Jackson truly wasted time
in penning his few well chosen
words to the dear public, for he stat
ed nothing new. His boss, some time
ago, told the people that he would
stand for denomination in opposition
to Fordyce and the statement of Sen
ator Jackson's published yesterday
was a mere formality, doubtless
done at the boss suggestion, thinking
1t would help the cause.
In his statement, published April
81, sLeader" Strong said: 1.-THE issue
will abide between Senator Jackson
and Mr.. Fordyce." Yet Senator jack
son, under date of May 3, says: up
on careful and earnest consideration
! have concluded to stand for re-elec-
tion. Of senator" Why, of course, ev-
erybody knew he would stand ever
since the boss said so two weeks ago.
But no boss told the people that
Fordyce would run until he said so
himself, and no boss is going to try to
elect him while he attends to his
business engagements" although
Mr.. Fordyce doubtless has as much
to do as Senator Jackson. Mr.. For
dyce will go, himself, before the pub
lie and devote his time and energies
to freeing MiddIesex from boss rule.
It Is up to the people to stay by him

warm-the kind of heat that is de-
scribed as being hot under the col
lar" His Honor's warmth is caused
by the trusts determination to charge
eighty cents a hundred weight for
ice, and to make ten cents the min
imum charge. Naturally, such a rule
works hard for the poor, for formerly
the latter were able to buy FIVE cents
worth of ice at d time. And the
mayor thinks such action on the part
of ice dealers smacks too much of
monopolistic practices. But the real
interesting part of the situation is
not so much that Mayor Doremus is
made. The vitality of his & is
found in the fact that he proposes to
have the law on EN-. The first step
in that direction has been taken by
City Attorney MacLear, who has in
stituted an enquiry into the manner
and methods of the combination
formed by the ice dealers, with a
view to enjoining the courts to take
action which will break up the prac-
tice which constitutes a monopoly
and is a restraint of trade. AS Plain
field Is at the mercy of a combination
of ice dealers in which competition
does not figure, the people of this city
will watch the outcome of the New
ark case with a good deal of interest

ICE DEALERS GRATITUDE.

Newark has an ice combine on its
hands. 1t is known as the ~lndepend-
ent Ice Dealers Association. This or
ganisation has decided upon an in
crease in the price of ice about dou-
Bile what ii was last year and has also
determined to sell nothing less than
ten cents worth, thus abolishing the
five cent piece, and striking a blow at
the poor. living in tenements where.
often, ice stands between life and
death. Newark's mayor, Henry NJ.
Doremus, has very properly taken up
the matter and legal action will prob
ably be brought TO break up the com
bine. 81
The history of this Independent Ice
Dealers Association is interesting. 1t
was formed three or four years ago to
light what was then known as the
trust, the Knickerbocker Ice Conf
pany. This trust threatened to put
the Independent ice men out of bust
ness. 1t brought a great number of
wagons to Newark and began reduc-
ing the price of ice to accomplish this
purpose and 1t was winning when the
independent men gSt together and

NEW YORK HERALD WEATHER
FORECAST.

rain in the northern districts. On
Saturday overcast weather and nearly

organized.
An appeal was issued to the peo-
pie telling how the trust was trying
to put them out of business: they
We're fighting for a fair chance to
make a living and they asked that ice
be bought only from the Independent
dealers even II the cost was a little
higher, arguing that the trust, al
though now reducing the price, would
raise it beyond all reason as soon as
the Independent men were forced out
of competition. The independents
appealed to the Essex Trades Coun-
Gil, the central body of the labor UNI
ions, and pleaded their cause. They
told the laboring men that they were
fighting a common enemy, the trust,
that all they wanted was a chance to
earn an honest living. Organized la
Dor took up the cause and union men
were urged to %patronize only indie
pendent ice men.
Citizens all over Newark took up
the matter and merchants, too, join
ed with the rest in patroniZing the
independent men, although the trust
offered ice cheaper, simply as a mat
ter of principle. The independents
tackled a conspicuous sign on all their
wagons so that people could make nc
mistake in buying from an %independ-
ent dealer. AS a result the independ-
emf ice dealers beat the trust and,
they owe their existence today to the
kind consideration of the public dur
ing this fight with the Knickerbocker
Ice Company.
What is the result? Having beat
en-, with the assistance of the people,
the big trust which threatened them,
these independent dealers proceed to
form a little trust of their own. They
continued their organization and to-
day they seem to have Newark at
their mercy. These independent deal
ers who, a few years ago, were beg
ging the people to pay them a little
higher price than another concern
that they might continue in business,
are now showing their gratitude by
doubling the price on these same peo-
pie, refusing the sell five cent cakes
of ice and coolly ask, what are you
going to do about 1t? This is the
thanks the public gets for allowing
this Independent Ice Dealers Asso-
citation to live. Truly, If any organ
ization deserves to be broken up and
scattered to the winds it is this small
monopoly in Newark.

"Carteret, N. j." has disappeared

cree of its voters manifested at the
