MONEY FOR SCHOOLS.

The growth of Perth Amboy is IL
lustrated in no better way that the
increased demands of the public
schools. This year $1O4, 210 is needed
for the ordinary running expenses OF
this branch of the city government
and $4,000 more is required for 4
new school building, making total
of $2OO,21O for school purposes.
There is hardly a person but who
agrees that this amount is none too
large but whether it can all be appro-
priated for the purpose is another
matter and is for the Board of Esti-
mate TO decide. There is one thing,
however, the city officials should re-
education in a city with
like Perth Amboy is of
prime importance and every cent pos
sible, even to straining 4 point else
where, should be devoted to school
purposes.

thought that after the crushing de-

would choose another representative
here, but it is evidently not so. Haney
is still "it'' in Perth Amboy as long
as the Strong machine" is in power.

This is the way the New Yorl
Press, which prides itself upon hav-
ing the largest republican circula
ton by many thousands of copies ;
day." speaks editorially of the mei
who are now holding out for the re-
election of Senator Dryden in'delianct
of public sentiment:
"The members of the New
Jersey legislature who have yot-
ed for Dryden have sufficiently
disgraced themselves and ,injur-
ed their party without further
hugging their scandal when
there is no possibility of electing
Dryden. The most that the Dry
den vote can now do is to de
prive New Jersey of senator
who could represent his state
rather than the Prudential, the
Public Service Corporation and
the railroads. They cannot elect
Dryden; they can only prevent
the election of some one else,
There is no possible excuse for
protraeting this scandal into
which they have permitted them
selves to be drawn.
If the members who are
standing out for Dryden, to the
added discontinue Of their par
ty and to the injury Of the public
service, do not close UP this dis
gusting business the voters of
New Jersey will have some Sc
we're lessons to give them at the
fall election. 1t has been abso
lutely necessary for the decent
members of the legislature to de-
feat Dryden, under penalty of

THURSDAY, JANUARY 81
ONLY HALF A BOSS.

Ii is hardly probable that the pc
tition in favor of Senator Dryden's re-
election, which, it is understood is be-
ing quietly circulated among repub-
lican county committeeman and the
delegates to the last county conven-
tion, will have much weight. The Pc
.tition viii be signed by those who fear
the power of Boss Strong and his
"machine," but those who are inde-.
pendent enough to listen to the peo-
pie rather than the party ''ring" viii
ignore it. AS petition from Middle
sex would have but little influence
with legislators from any other coun-
fy. it lis evidently the intention to use
IL as a whip in the hands of Boss
strong to bring Assemblyman Drake
intolline. But Mr.. Drake has shown
that he is made of better stuff; he
has won the praise of great major
ity Of people all over the state and
he is not likely to change now.
Boss Strong finds himself losing
his hold upon the republican party iii
Middlesex The first blow was struck
when twenty-four delegates went to
the county convention pledged
against him; the second blow was the
naming Of ten county committeeman
opposed to the machine" the third
blow, and the heaviest one of all, was
the defeat of his personal representa-
tive in the legislature. w. II c. Jack
son for senator. Now comes the
fourth in which Strong finds himself
able to deliver but two of the three
Middlesex assembly votes. Having
lost the senatorship at the election
when democrat was sent to the up.
per house, Boss Strong now finds
himself only half a boss, being able
s to control only two of the four men
srom Middlesex. This is indeed a
great fall and it was all accomplished
within a year. This shows the real
sentiment in Middlesex better than
anything else. The people are against
the sy<ong machine in this county
and %e would have been out Of pow
eE{ldng ago II 1t were not for the
paeerful organization which he has
beea allowed to build up during the
past twelve or fourteen years. 1t

ton, but It is going to pieces aud It's

ROYAL HOUSES
OF FRANCE ARE
united IN NAT

London, Nov. Wood Norton, the
English home of the Duke of Orleans,
which originally was nothing but a
hunting box, but in recent years was
transformed into a castle where the
pretend er to the throne Of France
holds court, welcomed a distinguished
company today at the wedding Of
Prince Charles Of Bourbon and Prin-
Louise Of Orleans.
True, there was but one rec ogpized
king present, but more than half Of
the guests were related to the royal
houses of Europe, while the others
were representa- tive Of the courts and
governments of France, there being,
of course, a few exceptions in this
royal gathering
The religious ceremony to which
this company has, been invited took
place in an i1nprovised chapel built
of canvas, but SO cleverly painted that
it could hardly bs distinguish from
the grey stone house which it adj
Joined. The interior of the chapel
likewise had every appearance of a
permanent structure. and easily might
have been mistaken for a l00-year-old
church that abounds in southern Eu-
rope. The ceiling was painted sky

Hepburn Be-
lieves Congress Will Pass
Law Controlling Issue Of
Stocks and Bonds Of Cor
pOFatiI0ns Doing Interstate
Business

Clarinda, Iowa, Nov. 16.--Wn. p.
Hepburn, chairman of the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, starts for Washington to-
morrow. Speaking Of possible con-
,gressiona1 legislation this winter. he
said: 55i
55stssI regard it as extremely probably
that there will be enacted this win
ter legislation to secure the reguIa-
ton Of issues of stocks and bonds of
corporations doing Interstate bust
ness: Certainly there ought to be
such legislation and control.
g The president and attorney gem
eral have said that congress has the
necessary power and We certainly
know that the question of power can
not be decided until legislation has
been had.
81 also regard it as most desirable
that the taxing power of the govern
ment should be used to prevent gam
bling in railroad stocks by taxing all
sales where delivery is not made
within such, reasonable time as to
indicate that the transaction was
bona hde and not for speculation.
So long as there is buying and sell
ing on margins and without intention
of actual delivery of the stock, specu-
8lation will absorb the resources of
banks and take money from legiti-
mate enterprises that need it. Stock
Spectators pay high rates for money
and their offers are SO attractive to
the banks that banks are induced to
make loans outside the channels Of
legitimate bounds This not only
tends to involve the banks in specu-
slation but it withdraws money from
Legitimate business enterprises 4
