A NEW ERA FOR NEW JERSEY.

To-day is epochaI in the history OF Newark
and of New Jersey. 1t marks the beginning
Of the great commercial and industrial under
taking to which favorable reference has fire.
quently been made in these columns. Work will
actually begin on the construction of a ship
canal connecting Newark with New York Bay.
Its completion will enable oceangoing steam
ships of considerable size to 90 directly to and
from the wharves Of the New Jersey metropolis
True the channel is to be at first only sixteen
feet deep at low tide, which will mean twenty
feet at food 1t viii. therefore, not give pas
sage TO the Lusitania, the Baltic. other mon
sters of the deep. But 1t will doubtless give
passage TO the majority Of oceangoing craft
and it viii offer a promise Of future deepening
so as to admit much larger vessels.
The beginning of the enterprise is to be
cordially welcomed, not only for its high prom
Use to Newark and to New Jersey, but also for
its indication of a growing conviction in this
country that Americans are able to do things
as well as anybody else. In respect TO some
things il must be confessed we have Jagged
behind. Amsterdam, Client, Bruges and other
European cities have had TO do far more canal
cutting than is needed at Newark. But they
have done it uIhesitatingly, as a matter OF
course. Manchester, almost midland city, has
been artiicially transformed into seaport with
great success The Canal du Midi, connecting
the Bay of Biscay with the Mediterranean;
that across Russia from the Baltic TO the Eux-
me- the CaledOnian, across Scotland, and that
from Hamburg to Bremen. are only few OF
the works which Europeans have achieved or
are about to perform with degree OF enter
prise which should move Americans to put
themselves upon their mettle.
To-day's work, also, will mark the beginning
of the end of the famous Newark meadows
The material excavated from the canal is TO be
used in filing them up, and In other ways the
transformation Of them into dry ground, fit for
cultivation or for building, will be pushed Thus
an historic feature Of that part Of New Jersey
will disappear; on the whole, with little re-
gret. The meadows have not been altogether
either lovely or unlovely. They have been null
Unanimously objurgated, and not without cause,
and they have been admired and apostrophlZed
by writers and artists One of the six best
sellers" in fiction d generation ago had its chief
scenes laid there, at old Mosquito Tavern Of
woful memory, disguised ia the novel as
Meadow Cottage" Nobody could deny some
admiration TO the meadows at just this time,
with their miles Of biIlowy green and their
acres of pink and white. Neither could any
body who has traversed them on a bleak day
In winter or has encountered one Of their old
time clouds Of mosquitoes regard them with
much short Of outright horror.

Sir. The duty Of more severe, effective punish

evident every day. Take only one of many cases

cure worked magcally. Fines and prison seemed
TO have no terrors but the miscreants loved their

SRALL THE CHILDREN COZ

Although more children have gone to the
country through the Tribune Fresh Air .fund
this year than had gone on the corresponding
date a year ago. there were last night 1,ooo
whom the manager has made provision to send
away within the next week if the necessary
money is received. Two or three thousand more
names of children eager to go are on the books,
but as there is little prospect Of sending SO
many no special appeal is made for them at
this time
But for the 1883 an earnest plea is presented.
AS it takes from a week to ten days TO COM
plete arrangements in the country and the city
with the farmers and other generous hosts on
the one hand and the missionaries, nurses ana
railway officials the other, these little people
have been chosen those deemed most In neeo
of fresh air and good food by nearly hfty ex-
perienced workers among the poor. open doors
and hospitable welcome await each child;
their houses have passed the Board of He tn
test; their physical need is manifest; their halr
and eyes and throat have received the 2piroV-
ing nod of the examining physician; special
cars have been ordered by half dozen COM
panes to take the children to the Berksnres'
to the foothills Of the Catskills and the Adlron-
dacks to the beautiful valley of the Mohawk.
and other places in Connecticut. New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania. Believing that the
additional need of the fund this year. owing 10
the increased numbers, Wouuu oe iuet as u0u'''
with increased receipts, the missionaries were
told that in all probability the children for
whom this appeal is made could 60 this year.
The ouastion which confronts the manager Is
this: VIII the friends Of the children stand be-
mind his faith and necessary plans or shall he
CANCEL the orders for the sixteen parties ana
tnl! the missionaries that their children cannot
60 to the country this summer? 1t is not too
late to cancel the orders from the country. bnt
a great deal Of disappointment would be caused
by such a decision. If 5000 is received before
August % the children selected can all 90, but
the greater part of this amount should be re-
ceived within the next four days.
Shall the children 90?
