THE MEAT WE EAT.

State Food Inspector Mcclure de-
clares that the cattle now rejected by
the government inspectors at the Jer-
sey killing plants are killed by small
slaughter houses and served up to the
people for home consumption. The in
spector says there has been no report
made of 10000 hogs killed in New Jer-
sey, which were reported afflicted with
tuberculosis, last year. Presumably
this meat was converted into sausages.
He favors the establishment of munich
pal slaughter houses and the enactment
of a law %forbidding the sale of meat
hat does not bear the seal of the Fed
eral Government or of a municipal
slaughter house. The statements by
the State food inspector are grave
enough to rivet the attention of the
Legislature, even in midsummer. It is
plain enough to every person who visits
the meat markets that there is lack of
care in the sale of meat, and 1t Is equal
ly plain that the safeguards against the
sale of diseased meat are inadequate.
Municipal slaughter houses would be
one good provision against such sale.
The private slaughter house needs to be
abolished.

Mayor Pagan, Of Jersey City, quail
1es his support of a possible opposi-
ton Republican candidate for Mayor
with an 'if." If the candidate is a
replica of himself he will support him,
otherwise-well, Pagan isn't crossing
any bridges until he comes to them.
The implied otherwise doubtless means
thai Pagan will be an independent
candidate, which would insure the cleo
ton of the Democratic candidate. In
the last election in Jersey City on the
vote for surrogate the Democratic ma
jority was 1856. The outlook from the
standpoint of that majority is not
suggestive of success for a Republican
mayoralty candidate. be he Mayor
Pagan or anybody else, and it cer-
tainly does not encourage the idea of
dividing the Republican vote between
two party candidates.

AN ABUSED CITIZENSHIP.

The new citizenship law which has
just gone into effect puts an end to a
practise that has been embarrassing to
our government in many cases. The
law provides than when any naturalized
citizen shall have lived for two years
in his native country after his
naturalization it shall be presumed
that he has given up his citizenship.
In a large number of cases foreigners
have come here and after having Sc
cured naturalization papers have re-
turned to Europe to permanently re-
side. Their American citizenship ex-
empts them from military duty and
other unpleasant obligations. If they
get into trouble they Immediately
appeal to the American legation and
that involves a great deal of diplomatic
red tape. There are other foreigners
who live in this country long enough
to acquire a competence and then so

The New York Herald apparently takes pride in its jim
goistic efforts to make trouble between this country and Japan.
1t prints with gleeful pride these remarks from the London
Graphic:''
"The belicose activity of so powerful a newspaper as the
New York Herald has to be reckoned with; and we suppose
it is in consequence of the malgn intimidation exercised by that
organ that the government allows it to be believed that they
are preparing industriously for war. We trust that the rumors
to this effect are without foundation.
Foreigners don't know, as We do, that the Herald is the
influential, the most INSCRIPTIONS and the yellowest of
New York journals newspaper without any fixed principles.
1t is a good deal like the attitude of Our people toward the
London Times" Most of us regard that paper as the great
est newspaper publication in Great Britain, whereas it has gone
down more rapidly during the last quarter of a century than
any of its contemporaries

The Common Council will doubtless
enact the tax ordinance as prepared
by the finance committee, with possibly
some slight amendments. The large
contingent fund has been a great aid
to the architects of the budget, and
they have been enabled to cipher out
a levy tina is some $2SS, 900 less than
the annual levy last year. This means
a decrease in the tax rate. If the
county rate had shown no increase,
there would be a considerable reduc-
ton of the total rate for Newark. but
nevertheless there will be some de-
crease.

ELPPANT BsRRvA 4IoNs ON MEN AND THINGS.

Our State Senate has the next move. The guiding spirits
in that body have had time to study the problem since the
House adjourned, and they should have a ~wel-defned program
ready when the Senate meets next week. Sins of omission orl
commission on the part of the Assembly ought not to influence
them except as danger signals. Their policy should be to look
over the field carefully and use their powers of observation to-
determine just what the people want. The advice or judgment
of rank parhsans is not of great value because these persons
are frequently among the last to learn what the popular sent-
is on any proposition.

There can be little doubt now that
that tenacious public leech, the State
Arbitration Board, will be abolished
this year. There is no appropriation
for its salaries for the next fiscal year
beginning in November, and the best
the board may be enabled to do is to
hang on long enough to eat UP the full
appropriation for its salaries for the
present fiscal year.

In the name Of Charity.

Nearly all the giddy youth or the
neighborhood attended the charlty
bazaar and one by one they drifted to a
stall where a tiny. shapely, scented,
gray kid glove reposed or a satin cusn-
ion. says the Popular Magazine. Al
tached to the cushion was a notice
written in a delicate feminine hand
which ran:
The owner of this glove VIII, at
1880 this evening, be pleased to KISS
any person who purchases a twenty
five cent ticket beforehand"
Tickets were purchased by the score,
and at 1880 a long row of sheepish, not
to say ~doggish. young bloods assem-
bled outside the stall.
Then, punctual to the moment, OLD
Tom Person, the local pork butcher,
who weighs 220 pounds. and is almost
as beautiful as a side of bacon, stepped
to the front of the stall.

For this they will get no thanks from any organiza-
ton or faction, and from this distance it looks as if a grave
tactical error had been made.
The mix-up in Jarrow is one of the first fruits of the split
between the Liberals and the Irish Party over the socared
Birrel Home Rule bill. As an outcome of that split it seems
to be the intention of Mr.. Redmond and his followers to oppose
the Liberals in every constituency in Great Britain where the
Irish vote amounts to anything.

The Senate has a chance to hammer the Public Utilities
bill into workable shape. We need such a Commission to
supervise railroad, trolley, telephone, telegraph, water and light
ing and power companies. But we might as we'll start right
and have the law made as nearly satisfactory s is possible
with new legislation. The Railroad Commission Act was
bungled because of the conditions under which it was thrown
together and it is undesirable to have a repetition of that.
We have another example of undesirable legislation in the
Water Commission law which was framed to protect the rights
of the municipalities in our watersheds and was 81 twisted and
distorted as to make it benefit those from whom there was
reason to fear danger.

John D. Rockefeller is disappointed with the result of his
donations to the University of Chicago. From the financial seed
so generously sown by him he evidently expected a crop of
graduates able and willing to exploit, expound and defend
Rockefe1erism. He has been grievous1y disappointed. Unless
men ire morally deformed the effect of education upon them is
to sharpen and make keener their detestation of such methods
as those by which Rockefeller and others of his kind have
piled up their milons-the crushing of competition, perjury,
and the subornation of perjury, defiance of law, and all kinds
of bribery and corruption.
1t would be a SORRY day for this country if the time ever
came when our young men would be willing to sell their con-
science for a mess of educational pottage.

VIEWS OF EDITORS.


1t is clear that we must revise our Juog-
ment as to the cause of the success OF the
Standard Oil Company and the wealth OF
its president. Instead of this being due
to the splendid business ability of John d.
Rockefeller, his all-embracing knowledge
of its affairs, we now discover that he
holds merely a nominal position, and that
he is b. no means sure what the company
is engaged in trying to do. 1t must be
that certain buccaneers of finance have
taken charge of the business and have
caused 1t to pour untold millions into the
Golfers of the president, not only without
any orders from him, but. even without his
knowledge. 1t may seem extraordinary
tina this has been done, but we have his
word for his almost total Ignorance of
the business. and hence we are compelled
to infer that his immense wealth has not
been acquired by his financial ability, but
has been thrust upon him for some reason
which is not disclosed. and which he cam
not be expected to know. 1t Is in order
now to find out who has been abusing Mr..
Rockefeller's confidence by making him
rich without his knowledge or consent

The Civil Service Reform Bill.
Some comments were recently made in
these columns upon the strange activity
Of the Legislators of New Jersey in their
extraordinary midsummer session, and the
suggestion was offered that their proceed
ings might not be altogether divorced
from the practise OF playing politics.
The reference was chiefly to their enact
ment of laws, but 1t appears, from a
recent and striking example, that it would
be equally applicable to their rejection of
proposed laws.
The example Is seen in the rejection by
the Democratic majority In the Assembly
Of the civil service reform bill. The enact
ment of such a measure was recommend
ed by Governor Stokes. and a bill was
drafted and passed by the Senate. 1t was
not an altogether ideal measure. 1t was
not as complete as might have been de-
sired, for It was made to apply the merit
system not to all offices, but only to the
State government and to the governments
Of the counties of the first classic wit,
Essex and Hudson. Still, 1t was excel
lent as far as 1t went, and 1t really went a
long way.-New York Tribune.

nave Jared this British convention or that

ing to do so at all; and 1t is greatly TO
his credit-and. in view of the representa-
tive quality given to him by the intellec-
tual, political and social leaders Of British
society, greatly to the credit of this coun-
| try, too-that he has not done so.-Hart-
