POLICE AND POPULATION.

There are 470 policemen in Newark,
lation on the basis of the last State
census. In New York the per capita
iG 547 on the basis of a total population
of 1885, 435, so, comparatively, Newark
has fewer policemen than New York.
Out of a list of cities of the world
compiled by Commissioner Bingham, of
New York, to show comparisons of the
police departments with that of New
York we take the per capita of these
American cities: Philadelphia, til; Bos-
ton. 500: st. Louis, 511; Washington,
4s5: Buffalo, $40. In foreign cities the
per capita is: Dublin, $50; Berlin, $40;
London. 400; Liverpool, 449; st. Peters,
burg, 1874: Rotterdam, 1893; Antwerp,
406; Dresden, 447; Leipsic, $50.
The Newark police force is smaller
in comparison with population than
that Of any city of each continent
named in this list. Only in Edinburgh
and Glasgow is the per capita slightly
larger thar in Newark. Police Com
missioner Bingham, of New York, de-
mands an increase of 1,4O0 additional
policemen. which would reduce the per
capita to 479. BY a proportional in
crease for Newark our police force
would have about 900 members.

THE TAX ISSUE WITH THE RAIL.
ROADS.

It would have been much better for
railroad interests in New jersey If the
corporations had quietly, accepted the
opinion by the Supreme Court on the
matter of the new tax law, and paid
over the tax. instead of taking an ap-
peal to the Court Of Errors and APP
peals. But the art and finesse and per-
nicious activity of the railroad attor-
ney has prevailed with the railroad
directory, and 1t is to be a fight to
the finish.
The railroad corporations cannot rea-
sonably expect the higher State court
to reverse the Supreme Court decision.
The opinion previously rendered by
the Appellate Court in the Duf1eld
second-class railroad tax act of 1905
seems to close the door to a reversion
of the Supreme Court opinion. The
presumption, therefore, is hat the ap-
peal to be taken is only preliminary
to taking the case to the United States
Supreme Court for review and hanging
1t up there perhaps for several years.
Meanwhile the municipalities of the
state will be deprived of the use of
more than $4,000 900 annually In rail-
road taxes.
There are ways and means for the
State to bring these naughty railroad
barons. and their crafty attorneys to
terms, and a combative Governor and
Legislature would not have to look very
far to find them. The STAR has some
suggestions to make on that line when
the necessity becomes apparent. The
Errors Court should take up the mat
ter of the railroad tax appeal at its
November term. which opens ON No
vember 10, two weeks after the election,
which occurs on November 3. The
course pursued by the railroads after
the court shall have announce its de-
cision will determine the character of
legislation affecting railroads by the
Legislature of 1908.

A Strange Mistake.

My daddy says that once he was
A little chap like me,
So why he says the things he does
l really can not see.
He says he can not understand
Why I so dote on noise,
And like to play that I'm a band,
Deserving quiet toys.
He says he can't imagine why
/ stand upon my head,
Instead of on my dignity
Like boys who're better bred.
He says he can not comprehend
The reason why / can't
When, up the stairs l mount, pretend
hat I'm a human ant,
Instead Of stamping on the stair
AS tho I thought that /
Were nothing but a lively pair
OF hippopotami.
From all of which I greatly fear
In days beyond recall,
My dear old daddy, it is clear,
Was not like me at all,
But like some other little chap,
Whose name / never heard.
Who likes to sit on some ones lap
And v says a word.

THE SHAME OF IT.

The reformatory principle has been
entirely lost sight of at the Halfway
"reformatory." The institution has
been conducted more as a school Of
vice and crime than of reform. tits
more penal in its discipline than the
State prison at Trenton and less re-
formatory than hat prison in its in
fuence upon the inmates. The men
who conduct it have no idea of moral
reform and the board of managers are
equally ignorant and culpable.
1t is strange, indeed, that the condi-
ton of affairs now revealed should
nave been permitted to exist ever since
the "reformatory' doors were opened
for convicts to reform. There are
State officers and members of the State
Charities Aid Association and a State
Commission of Charities and Correc-
tons with an assistant, and these
things have continued to exist year
after year and would have continued
to exist for years longer but for the
Hahn investigating committee and its
probe into "reformatory" affairs.
The records now show that there
were carelessness, neglect and perhaps
worse from h inception. The first
commission vas a foolish body that
built a large useless dome and planned
a structure that would eventually have
bankrupted the State treasury. When
the plans were reformed to conform
with reason people thought the re-
formatory idea would now be carried
out on correct business and philan-
thropic principles. But the misman-
agement continued and developed into
graft and brutality and unspeakable
scandal. The State reformatory be-
came the den it is now revealed to be.
The shame of it. The shame of it.

There is much of fippant and unthink-
ing comment upon the value of the lecture
platform to the times, and the lecture
platform, like other institutions, political,
social and religious, is sometimes abused
by unworthy and insufficient men. But
in the main the lyceum under the touch
of men like John B. Gordon. Postmaster
General Wilson, Sam Jones. Henry Wat
terson and others of conscience and caliber
and standing has don as much or more
than any other influence to introduce the
sections to each other, and to broaden
and better the catholic sentiment of the
country.
without any comparison Of the relative
merit and value of the literature and logic
of different productions, 1t may be said
without exaggeration that the spectacle
of John B. Gordon standing in a North
ern grove or theatre, with that "Confed-
crate epic upon his cheek, talking frank
ny and heartfully to a responsive audience
of Grand Army men about our common
country, was as wholesome and noble an
influence as the two decades have furnish
ed to patriotism and to the national spirit
It is good policy to send our represent
tative men to the Northern platforms, and
1t is lust as wise to welcome with equal
heartiness to our own, the wise and cul-
tured men who represent the genius and
character Of the North.-Atlanta Geor-

INVESTIGATION IN HUDSON.

If Hudson County shall get all the
probing that is said to be coming it
ought to be the best investigated gov
eminent In the United States. There is
first the Senate investigation, and then
an investigation by the Hahn commit
tee, and finally one by a commission to
be appointed by the court at the petit
ton of twenty-five Freeholders. But
the more the merrier. 1t will keep at
least three Investigations busy to get
at all the facts in misgoverned Hudson
and its principal municipalities.

WHERE THE GRAFT COMES IN.

When Warden Hayes, of the State
Hospital for the Insane at Trenton,
was questioned about the purchases
of supplies for the hospital he ac-
kn%owledged that he did not ask for
competitive bids, but declared that by
buying in the open market at his
option he procured supplies at
cheaper prices. The hospital managers
were c~omplacently of the same opin-
ion. 1t developed afterwards tina the
supplies were purchased from the two
sons and two sons-in-law of Manager
Rice, and hat the prices paid were
extortionate.
The same plan of purchase, without
competitive bid, has been pursued at
the Railway Reformatory and the o
tracts have been carefully kept under
the $500 statutory limit in order to
avoid the necessity for advertising
for bids. superintendent Martin, like
Warden Hayes, is quite convinced that
this Is the most economical plan of
purchasing. He tells Inquisitor Backes
so. The exposure of the fraud at
Trenton should have choked off ex-
cuses at Railway.
1t would be interesting to know the
exact amount the State treasury has
been robbed Of by collision of officials
and dealers in the purchase of sup
plies for the State institutions during
the last five years. Enough at least
to build a dozen fine school houses.

A NEW IRISH PROGRAM.

A new plan of campaign for Irish
home rule is projected by the National
Council of the Sim Fem, an organiza-
ton which has grown in strength in
Ireland land which began its first con-
vention in Dublin yesterday. The pur-
pose of this movement is to compel the
withdrawal of all Irish representatives
from Parliament, the establishment of
an Irish parliament in Dublin without
regard to Englanda the revival of Irish
industries and a boycott of everything
English This does not mean a state
of war. ireland could not equip and
maintain an army against the power
of England. Each step proposed has
a specific object.
BY withdrawing Irish representation
the example of Hungary would be fol-
lowed inc the same result achieved.
An Irish parliament, although illegal,
would b. an impressive spectacle, to
have its due effect. BY building up
Irish industries trade relations with
the outside world would be established
and a national boycott on British
goods would induce foreign capitalists
to build factories in Ireland to supply
Irish needs. It's a comprehensive Inc
vigorous program hat is thus out
lined. Whether it is practicable de-
Ponds. There are no signs, however,
of a collapse of the Nationalist or
ganization or of the deposition of John
Redmond from the Irish leadership.

A CITY HALL ELECTRIC PLANT.

The plan of installing an electric
light plant in City Hall has finally
reached the contract stage, the special
lighting committee having awarded the
contract. which calls for an expenditure
Of $2S. 1904. This enterprise is entirely
within the means of the city and does
not involve the borrowing of money
at high interest rates. When the plan
was first proposed there was great
doubt as to the municipal finances this
year. The railroad taxes had been
withheld and the prospect indicated a
considerable increase in the la rate
over last year.
Mayor Haussling sat down upon
items of salary increase and admon-
ished the Council to avoid all extra
expenditures until it could be ascer-
tanned where the city stood financially.
That was the Mayors single objection
to the expense of a City Hall lighting
plant. The municipality is now fairly
out of the fin&nuial woods and can
afford to carry out the plan Of lighting
City Hall with a municipal plant.

carriage Route to BlnehamtOn.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
1 am leaving on a trip in a few days in
a carriage, and would like to know the
shortest and best driving roa from New
ark to Binghamton, N. Y. ". H S.
perhaps your best route is by way Of
Delaware Water Gap. From Broad and
Market streets, go by way of Clinton ave-
nue. through ~Irvington n Millburn to
the Morris Turnpike at Springfield. Here
turn right under the railroad arch and go
straight ahead through Chatham to Mad
ison. Keep on to Morristown, and here
TX Washington street, north from the
green" to Mendham and straight ahead
to Chester. Keep straight to German VAL
ley, and at the hotel turn right over the
stone bridge direct to Hackettstown.
About a mile beyond turn right through
Vienna to Danville. Turn left just be-
You'd the town and at Townsbury take the
right fork. Then follow the river on the
north bank through Buttzville to Bridge
Vile. A little more than a mile beyond
turn right to Manunka Chunk Follow the
Delaware River to Delaware and cross
on the ferry to the west bank, then follow
the river straight to the Gap. The dis
lance from Newark Is about seventy miles.
From the Gap your route lies to Strouds-
burg, following along Pocono Creek TO
Mt. Pocono, to ~Tobyhanna, Daleville,
Elmhurst and Scranton. Scranton is tfty-
five miles from Delaware Water Gap.
From Scranton it is siXty-six miles TO
Binghamton. Go to Waverley, Glenwood,
New Milford, west along the river to
Binghamton.-Ed.1

BLACK Friday.


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
I shall be obliged if you will tell me the
occasion that led to the coinage of the
expression BLACK Friday" GREEN.
LThere nave been more so-called "Black
Fridays than one, both here and IN
England, where the expression originated.
The first was Friday. December g. II45,
when the news that the army Of Prince
Charles. the Young Pretender," had
reached Derby threw London into a panic.
All shops were closed. all business sus-
pended and there was a run on the Bank
of England. George II. sent many of his
valuables aboard ship and KEPT a boat at
the Tower air to facilitate his personal
escape from danger. On the following day
news came that the invasion was retiring,
and the panic was allayed.
The second in chronological order also
occurred In England, on May II, 1856, when
the news Of the failure, on the preceding
day. of the banking house Of Overend
Quincy & Co. was followed by a terrible
but fortunately brief panic.
The third. and first American, BLACK
Friday was September "a. 1869, when Jay
Gould and Jim Fisk. jr., started to buy
up all the gold In the New York banks
and advanced the price of the precious
metal to 1924. the appalling disaster to
hundreds of firms and individuals being
checked by Secretary of the Treasury
Boutwell, throwing $4,000. 900 on the market.
The fourth was September 10, 1873, the
day on which the panic of 1878 was started
by the failure of Jay Cookies irm.-Ed.l
