INVESTIGATE ALL INSTITUTIONS.

The necessity for an honest legisla-
tive Investigation of the State offices
is now too well demonstrated by re-
suits for the objectors to the Hahn
committee investigation to cavil at it.
They are silenced or compelled to COM
pletely change their tune.
The people of the State are not in
terested in the question of the motives
of the Investigators. They are deeply
interested in the disclosures made.
They are shocked beyond measure. It
is hard for them to realize the truth
as made so plain by the investigation,
and the latest development seems in
credible.
1t is now imperative that every State
institution must undergo the probe and
the affairs of every board and commits
sion be inquired into. The Hahn COM
mittee may not have the time or OPP
p~ortunity to do all this work, but In
quisitor Backes, who has displayed
such a genius for digging into dark
places and bringing hidden things into
the limelight, should conduct the in
vestigation to the end. He is the only
man for the job.
Partisanship cannot be considered
when a State government is thus
shown to be honeycombed with evil
and so badly served by its chosen Of
ficers. Reform should know no parti-
sanship, either by the prosecution of
offenders or by their protection. The
evils and abuses exist. Expose them to
the light and clean out of office all
who are identified with them.

THE IMPARTIAL VOORHEES,.

Former Governor Foster M. Voor-
hees, president of the board of man
ayers of the Railway Reformatory,
firmly convinced that there is nothing
wrong in the institution over the man
agement of which he presides, has vir-
tuously resolved to form no opinion
until a thorough examination and in
vestigation has been made" That is so
like Voorhees,. He preserved the same
unbiased attitude when "Eylerism'' was
under investigation in the State Home
for Girls some years ago, born of
the same immoVable determination that
whatever was, under VOORHEES,, was
right. Adverse testimony couldn't
move him. And until he was removed
by the limitation of his term of Office
"Eylerism" hourished. Reform came
Immediately after.
His impartiality in the case of the
Railway Institution is shown, when, in
s~corning the imputation that the board
over which he presides would ask SUI
perintendent Martin to resign, he says
that, despite the inviolable rule that
visitors cannot converse with inmates.
desired to come forward and answer
any questions put to them by the
Hahn Investigating committee. Just
as if Lawyer voorhees, didn't know,
having served as A~ssemblyman, Sena-
tor, Acting Governor and Governor, to
say nothing of various other expert
ences in public affairs, that the investi-
eating committee has the power to call
any witnesses it thinks car enlighten
it. including even the president of the
board.
OF course he las read what the COM
mittee has already uncovered in on
nection with his institution. and that
there is enough evidence in its hands
to impeach every one connected with
the management without a word from
the unfortunate inmates. whether they
are all expert liars or not. They knew
nothing of the nepotism in the filling
of the paying jobs, or of the confessed
padding of the payrolls to make up de-
hciencies in the appropriation. Why
even the president might not have
known of that. if he kept his eyes shuI
at the proper time! Wipe out all the
stories of the inmates. as if they wer'

HERE IS A STREET CAR FENDER.

The necessity for street car tenders
that will fend and are not an actual
peril to human life is too we'll evident
in Newark. The question is not new,
either, to many other cities and to
cities abroad. Consul Norton, of
Chemnitz, has forwarded to our COW
eminent a report upon a device lately
brought out in Dresden.
-Four years ago, the consul reports,
the City Council of Dresden offered
prizes amounting to 3d. 500 for tho most
effective tenders. Over 400 devices have
been submitted and put to practical
tests. A merchant of Dresden received
the first prize of $1,000. His fender

now to be attached to all the cars,

car lines.
A device that is so well approved
in Dresden is obviously the device for
the Public Service Corporation to
adopt. 1t is stated that in the pro-
longed experiments with the Dresden

They were placed on the tracks day
and night before the cars in every pos
sible position. and without exception
they were picked up and carried along
without any injury. The Board of
Works has recently manifested some
interest. in street car tenders, and the
board might get some direct Informal
ton about the tenders adopted in
Dresden.

NEWARK AS A SEAPORT.

An improvement of more general i'm
is the dredging of the channel of the
Passaic and Newark Bay to the depth
of twenty-one feet at high tide and six
teen feet at low tide, and with an aver
age width of 800 feet to the Erie Rail-
road bridge, at Fourth avenue, and
above that point 200 feet to the Green
wood Lake bridge. The contract for
this great work, now begun. calls for
its completion in three years. There
will finally be a deepening of the river
channel up to the city of Paterson, to
give to that city and Passaic the adj
vantages of navigation their extensive
manufacturing interests need.
coincident with the deepening of the
Passaic River channel should proceed
the work of sewer building. The sewers
of the t~wenty-one municipalities that
drain into the river carry into it a large
amount of solid matter that fills up the
channel and will in time restore 1t to
its present shallowness for vessels.
Commercial. as well as sanitary and
property interests, are involved in the
publication of the Passaic by diversion
of the sewage. Meadow reclamation
should go hand in hand with both i'm
provements.
A deeper bay and river channel, to
enable vessels of large draught to re-
ceive and discharge cargoes at our
wharves, will hasten the use of the
bay front for commercial purposes.
Newark Bay is a part of New York
Bay. and in some respects it is more
valuable for than the Jersey
City shore front. 1t has an immense
prospective value, by reason of the
deepening Of New York's great canal
from the Hudson to the Great Lakes.
The future to flow through
that enlarged waterway will seek the
most convenient and least expensive
outlets. and freight destined for the
West and South will largely be trans
ported by barges through the XIII Won
Kull to meet the railroad on Newark
Bay. On the shores of the bay large
warehouses will be erected, and the adj
jacent meadows will be used by the
railroads n manufacturers.
A survey of these meadows by a Fed
eral engineer does not mean a govern
ment appropriation to reclaim them. 1t
is not at all probable that Congress will
pose, and, in fact, Federal aid is not
essential. Land lying so close to New
York Bay and so well adapted for COM
merce and transportation cannot long
lie undeveloped by private capital. Its
use is already recognized as a necessity,
n preliminary to that use there must
be a deepening of the channel Of the
river and bay, to enable ships to APP
proach the shores n exchange freight
with the railroad.
Our city has grown in evo-y direction
except toward the bay. 1t has ad-
vanced in every essential respect except
in its navigation, which is entirely
governed by the depth of the waterway
approaches. With these deepened, New
ark will take on a new growth in a
direction that promises the greatest
amount of benefits. We now lave
nothing but some coastwise trade in
small vessels, and in a few years
stately argosies from foreign ports will
anchor at our wharves, which will then
present the aspects of an important
seaport.

HOW HERR BEBEL VIEWS US.

Herr Bebel. the German Socialist
leader, falls into the same error that
so many European critics of the United
States commit in their views about this
country, it's people and its political
and social life. Herr Bebel has read in
a jaundiced mood about the recent
Haywood, and he INDUCES in these re-
markable reflections:
This trial has shown all the world
in the United States liberty, law
and justice exist only on paper. 1t is
t. be hoped that these incidents will
stir up the American workingman so
that, like their English comrades, they
will soon send a. good number of rep
resentatives to Washington"
If the acquittal by a trial jury of a
man accused of crime can be inter-
preted as a sign that liberty, law and
justice do not prevail, what would
Haywood's conviction have indicated?
Evidently, Herr Bebel had the same
Interpretation ready for either case.
But he is hopelessly at sea when he
talks about American w~orkingmen
separating themselves into a political
class distinct from all other classes.
He judges American workingmen by

1t wouldn't be possible to erect a labor
political party in the United States.
Only the recent immigrant could be
induced to join such a party.
