TIPPING SYSTEM DENOUNCED

Speakers Advance Able Arguments
Why Murphy Bill should Be-

Arguments as to why the Murphy
ant-tipping bill should become a law

Commissioner West interrupted at
this point 20 ask If the payment of

a house could be construed in this light
The question was answered by a. Left

OUR AMBULANCE SYSTEM.

The health department is unques-
tionably right in the insistment that
the city ambulance system, which at
present is only an apology for a sys-
tenn, should be placed under charge of
that department, with an emergency
hospital at the city's centre. Every
ambulance should have a doctor with
appliances for giving first aid to the
injured. Policemen are as humane as
anybody else, but the average officer
is not skilled in first aid and the am
balances are not equipped with the
necessary appliances.
Common humanity dictates that the
city should have all the facilities to
reach and administer to the injured
on the streets. A few minutes lost or
unskilful handling of an injured man
may mean death. And not a few in
jured people have died under these
circumstances

MONEY FOR rae cAMpAIeN.

Beginning with October tomorrow,
there will be t%hirty-hve days, emitting
Sundays, for the strenuous campaigns
mapped out for the two gubernatorial
candidates. This will be one of the
most prolonged ever held in
this State, and 1t will involve both
great personal fatigue and unusual
cost. much of which must be borne by
the candidate himself.
Unless campaign funds were a plenty
and money no object, the desire OF
party managers has been to make the
active campaign as short as possible, to
save expense and keep the campaign
fund for use on election day. The spec
tacular street parade was cut out as
being more ornamental than useful. 1t
eats up money that could better be
used in organization work. This year,
with travelling expenses, the cost of
halls and meetings, the pay of speak
efs, OF tHu oilSI hiSiV0hNoi
the campaign funds will be
heavily drawn upon before election day,
and there may be some danger of de-
pleted treasures.
1t is a common belief, well founded,
that a large part of the funds with
which campaigns have been u in this
state was contributed by public utility
corporations, the railroads being the
heaviest contributors. Much has hap
pened of late to discourage this prac-
tise, and it is certain that there will be
a considerable shrinkage in corporation
donations. The railroad companies are
now more concerned over the action of
the courts than of the Legislature, and
If the courts shall sustain the railroad
tax acts one great cause for railroad
interest in legislation will disappear.
without the old prolific sources for
money to draw upon it will not be easy
to supply all the sinews of war for
thirty-ive days and have all the funds
necessary when the battle begins at
the polls.s

MAY INDUCE GREATER CARE.

Publicity of the accidents and casu-
alties that occur in the operation of
transportation systems in municipal
tiles must tend to greater care on the
part of the companies and greater eau
ton by the public. Individual needless
ness or recklessness most of the
accidents on the trolley lines. The New
York City Public Service Commission
requires monthly reports from the
companies. The report for August is
formidable. 1t shows thai about 200
persons are killed or seriously injured
every month
To be exact, the number was 1S9, of
whom forty-two were killed, while the
others sustained broken or a~mputated
limbs, fractured skulls or other in
juries. But there were 5000 minor in
juries hat appeared comparatively
slight upon their face, but might de-
velop dangerously later; and of that
number more han a quarter were hurt
while alighting from cars. and in most
cases doubtless because of their own
negligence.

OCEAN GROVES AuTocRAcY.

The close corporation that exercises
absolute governmental powers at Ocean
Grove and pays no tribute of tax on its
large property, either to the township
or State, has evidently become alarmed
by the movements begun by protesting
householders and the hotel-keepers in
Ocean Grove. The corporation is send
ing out circulars to people with the re-
quest that they sign protests against
any change in the charter of Ocean
Grove, which change would begin to
place US upon the level of open towns,
without restrictions of Sabbaths and
other features" These circulars are
deceptive. They misstate the real ques-
ton.
The autpcratic close corporation that
<rr.es The town without the least SEM
blance of a republican form of govern
ment has usurped the powers of a State
under cover of a charter intended mere
~ for IN isolated religious campmeet-
ing in the summer season. A town has
grown up where the original camp
meeting was located, and 1t would have
grown up just the same If there had
been a campmeeting or a charter.
The inhabitants, all but about a score,
are practically held in bondage. They
have no representation; they are denied
necessary improvements; they are not
permitted even to see a copy of the
charter, or take a look at the finances
or have any knowledge whatever of the
public expenditures. The corporation
derives a large revenue from secular
entertainments in the auditorium and
pays no tax. as other places of amuse-
ment in the State have to-. The longer
federation of this anomalous private
government of a New Jersey town of
5000 souls is out of the question. The
Legislature should put an end to it.

PAPERS ON CAMPAIGN
rhe Co1hxlte. in Pnssalc.

TFrom the PaSSa1c Herald, Deu.I
The Republican convention was an ex-
| ample of the panel game worked to per-
| lection.
While dallying with its paramour the
Ring. the somnambulistic Colby delegation
was stript to clothe the trembling limbs
Of n vile machine now grown more greedy,
gross and defiant.
And worst of all, the men who iercely
fought and bravely battled for the Colby
cause sat complacently twiddling their
thumbs while the buncoing plot was laid
and executed.
The Colbyites and their cause is dead.
Dead as King Cambyses.
Too dead to skin.
History but repeats itself.
Caesars legions could not the
god-like Antony, but the ~insinuating Wiles
of Cleopatra, that serpent of old Nile,
whom age could not wither nor custom
stale her infinite variety" lost him Actium
and the world.
In fair fight the machine could not CON
ouer the Colbyites. But the Cleopatra
like machine has deceived the Antony Col
byjtes. They are totally destroyed. Not
only destroyed but dishonored and dis
graced.
The Colbyites deliberately added their
! strength to that of a machine whose
perfdy they know and have exposed.
With the wit of idiots and the morals
of a band of porch-climbers the Colbyites
sacrificed all that for which they had
been fighting to be received back into
the embraces of the vile machine.
Shame of shames! Marelli was smothered
by the Colbyites. There was too much
known of his noble work and his sturdy
independence to please the ring. Marelli
was the Grant that bore the brunt of
battle and fought a1d won the Colby
Victories.
Had Marelli not been so anxious for re-
form within the party, had he not ex-
posed its Utmost secrets of corruption
and perfldy, Marelli would have been
acceptable.
But Marelli stood only for valor and a
dauntless devotion to plain duty. That
was not wanted by Colbyites and their
ring allies.
Now the Colby movement Is a mere
lodee-keeper to swing the gate and doff
the hat to the machine, whene'er 1t raps
for entrance.
But look at the platform, say some
mole eyes!
Yes look at your platform and learn
that platforms with the machine are the
merest clamor.
Platforms are but the dinner bell, but
not the dinner.
The voters of this county nave done
many foolish things, but they are not pur-
blind enough to be filled with sound and
fattened on din.
1t was a ring-controlled convention,
under the selfish thumb of a Republican
machine, a machine that thinks of naught
towards anybody but its ignoble self. It's
abject acolytes, its servile satellites cannot
mislead the voters with platforms and
promises.
That Republican machine, If it can be
compared to anything that the mind of a
man can conceive of, is a rat-hol-a rat
hole through which the favored of the
ring reach and enter and gnaw the
peoples treasure.
The convention was a fair hunting
ground for the ring and the poor, puny

THE CHRONIC OPPOSITION.

Every great step taken in the devel-
opment of our country has been antag-
onized and opposed by some adverse
sentiment. The Tories of the Revolu-
ton opposed and fought against the
establishment of the union of States.
The Louisiana Purchase, so vast in its
national benefits, met with bitter OPP
position. The Mexican War and the
acquisition of Texas had savage po-
litical opposition. California was OBJ
tanned under the same circumstances,
and likewise Florida. When Secretary
Seward negotiated the purchase Of
Alaska from Russia for seven million
dollars there was a howl of protest.
Seward was said to have bought an
iceberg. 1t has proved a gold mine.
In the last calendar year Alaska
yielded SIS, 500, 900 in gold, or nearly
three times it's purchase price, and it
took SIT, 500, 900 of American products,
and we have just begun to develop that
great territory. There was strenuous
opposition to the annexation of Hawaii.
Last year we sold $12, 500, 900 to Hawaii,
and it is the most important naval
outpost of the nation.
Our occupation of the Philippines was
tentative. A military necessity COM
PEELED the step. But there are great
natural riches. not touched by develop
ment, in the archipelago, and after the
Panama Canal is opened for traffic we
shall need strong bases in the Orient
In all probability by hat time we will
no more think of leaving Manila than
of quitting Alaska. The destinies OF
nations go marching on, and mice and
men cannot arrest their march.

The Colbyites in Passaic.
(From the Passaic News. Rep.)

- 49, F|'R 1tNFK
Certainly the Republicans of Passaic
County are to be congratulated.
Who would have supposed a year ago,
or even a few weeks, or days, ago, that
such an Assembly convention as was held
by the Republicans of this county was
possible? Yet 1T has happened, and honor
able harmony has been brought about. tc'
the very great credit of the so-called
Regular and New Idea leaders. and te
the still greater good of the whole people
of the county, and of the State. The As
sembly ticket named by the Republicans
is admirable and the platform adopted by
them is a model. If the Democrats expect
to cope with the Republicans on anything
like even terms they must do well indeed.
Two-fifths of the ticket Is Colbyite and
all Of the platform Is Colbyite, with the
single exception of the New Ideas mis-
taken demand for the repeal Of the Avis
act. which the Regulars sensibiy did not
indorse, and which the Colbyites, with
equal good sense, did not demand. Look
ing back, the News may ask itself II It's
| editorial statement of last Tuesday was
justified. The News believes 1t was.
Whatever Mr.. james G. Blauvelt's seoret
purpose may have been, his public position
was against all compromise. He aban-
doned his standpat policy at what proved
to be the psychological moment, however,
and the result is two Colbyites on the
regular ticket, instead Of one, or possibly.
none.
The situation reflects great credit upon
Mr.. Blauvelt and the other New idea lead
ers and delegates, who took the firm stand
they did, and upon the Messrs Mareili,
Hudson and Hunziker, who gracefully
withdrew in the interest of harmony, and
allowed the winning combination ticket to
be named on the first ballot. They with
drew in the interests of harmony, did we
a They withdrew in the interests of
good government, which far transcends
mere harmony. And the Regulars did
their duty. too. They had the votes, and
they did not need to consider the Colby
ties at all so far as the mere question OF
votes. was concerned, but they had the
good sense to give the New Idea a more
than fair representation on the ticket.
The platform calls for all the vital re-
form ideas of the day in this State.
1t is cause for great satisfaction to know
that such progressive work had been ac-
complished in Passaic County.
