THE NEW BULKHEAD.

The Board of Aldermen is to be
commended for its plans regarding
the proposed change along the water
front from Market street south to the
Raritan Yacht Club house. With
Front street seventy feet wide and
with a bulkhead eight feet wide fitted
up with guard rails and benches,
the people are going to have de-
lightful place for recreation in sum-
mer.
We are glad that our matchless
waterfront with its beautiful view is
at last to be recognized. Heretofore
the people have had no convenient
place to go and enjoy the water, ex-
cepting to recline along the bank at
the bluff. A recreation pier has been
a long-felt want, but the bulkhead
plan far exceeds a pier.
The city fathers are to be congrat-
ulated upon the plan. Perth Amboy
is made up mostly of people who
cannot afford to go to summer re-
sorts to take vacation. 1t is there
fore fitting that some of their mon
ey be used to make their home city
pleasant. Few places have a more
attractive waterfront than Perth Am
boy. Fix it so the people can enjoy
1t and there will be no need of going
elsewhere.
The aldermen are on the right
track. Give us the bulkhead and
there will be more rejoicing among
the great mass of people than ovel
anything else that might be done.

WATCH THE WATER BOARD.

Alderman-at-Large Pfeiffer wants
the citizens to take more interest in
the water department of the city. He
is right. The water department is,
perhaps, the most valuable asset the
people have. 1t is self-sustaining.
That is more than great many cities
can say
A great deal of money is being
spent by the water board and a great
deal is being received. For this rea-
son, if for no other, the citizens
should take an interest in the de-
partment.
There is that Runyon land deal in
which the board would have paid the
Fountains $4,000 out of the peo-
pies treasury for thirty odd acres of
worthless land had not the EVENING
NEWS exposed the deal in time to
enable taxpayers to hold it up.
Now we find the board hiring spec
ial counsel, when the city already
has an attorney, in order to fight the
taxpayers in this matter. Why is this
done?
The citizens should take an active
interest in the water board by all
means. Large sums of money are in
volved and the people should know
the why's and wherefoFes.
The people want to know why the
water board keeps up this fight at SO
much expense, using the peoples
money to foot the bills. No satisfac.
tory explanation has been given.
BY all means, keep your eye OF
the water board. Take an interes
in its doings and demand an explana
ton for every act YOU do not under
stand

cule has now changed. The once
powerful machine is breathing its
last. Step by step the power of that
one-time dictator, Theodore Strong,
has fallen from him until now it only
awaits the final work from Governor
Stokes to sink Strong into oblivion,
where he has been expected since the
fight first started, although it must
be admitted, his downfall was not
looked for so soon.
The NEWS is proud of the part 1t
has taken in the fight. 1t has been
battle for the people against boss
ism and corporation control. 1t was
started on the principle that truth
must win and right will prevail. The
fight will go on as long as there is
any sign of Strong exerting power ir
political affairs in this county.

A RAINY DAY.

IL. H. Bailey in the March Century)
The soft, gray rain comes slowly
down,
Settling the mists on marshes brown,
Narrowing the world on wood and
hill,
Drifting the fog down vale and rill
The weed stalks bend with pearly
drops,
The grasses hang their misty tops,
The clean leaves drip with tiny
spheres,
And fence rails run with pleasant
tears.
Away with care! walk today
In meadows wet and forests gray;
Meath heavy trees and branches low ;
Gross splashy fields, where wild
things grow;
Pash shining reeds, in knee deer
tarns;
BY soaking crops, and black, wet
barns;
On messy stones, in dripping hooks;
Up rainy pools and brimming brooks,
With waterfalls and cascadills
Fed by the new born grassy rills:
And then return across the lots
Through all the soft and watery
spots.
Away with care! I walk today
In meadows wet and forest gray.

SEE VICTORY AHEAD.

Judging from the way certain poll
ticians and ring newspapers are re-
pudiating the county boss, they have
sen a great light. Just what the
EVENING NEWS pointed out early
last summer and has been hammer
ing away at ever since, is now being
recognized by those who hurled all
kinds of abuse at the NEWS for tell
ing the very same things they are now
saying
BY admitting now that the NEWS
was right. these men and newspapers
who have hitherto been staunch
Strong supporters prove that the

ahead of them ALL
We welcome those who have at
last Acknowledged the truth and are
!. glad that they are able to rejoice
with us as we see the battle, which
we have fought so long, about to ter
inmate and the enemy retreating in
q panic.
OF course, it is not all done. Boss
Strong has not yet been turned down
by the governor. But the defeat of
Haney and the stampede of Strong
followers which has set in, to get
away from him, greatly encourages
those who have kept up the fight
when the cause seemed almost hope
less and when the NEWS stood prac-
tically alone having abuse heaped up
on It from all sides
Governor Stokes must now see that
the best interests of the republican
party demands the overthrow of tht
Strong machine.
Aside from the ring politics thu
governor has ample reason to REFUSE
re-appointment to Strong. W.
hope he will do it. Middlesex canno
be saved for the republicans if Strong
is allowed to retain his prominent
position.
AS far as leadership goes we be-
lieye that Strong is down and out
now. A man cannot lead if no one
will follow him. Who, then, will
Strong lead?
1t really looks as if victory was
at last to be accomplished Last
spring, when the EVENING NEWS,
with others, took up the fight. Boss
Strong was at the head of one of the
most powerfully entrenched political
machines in the state. In fact, so
confident was he of his power that

Pierce Must Face Trial.

In the federal court. st. Louis, Judge
Adams denied the application Of H. Clay
Pierce, head of the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company, for a writ of habeas corpus
and ordered that he be remanded to the
custody of the chief of police to be de
livered to Sheriff Matthews of Travis
county, Texas, for extradition. Pierce
is wanted there to answer an indictment
charging perjury in an affidavit made in
May, 1900, to the effect that the Waters
Pierce company was not a party to any
pool, trust, confederation or combina-
ton in restraint of trade. In his decis-
ion Judge Adams said the conclusion was
irresistible that the indictment contain
ed the substance of an offense, and that
technicalities should not stand in the
way of justice. Pierce, who was in court
at the time OF the decision, showed that
he was laboring under great mental
stress, while his attorney, Priest, was
visibly disconnected, as shown by the
trembling of his hands. Priest gave mo-
tice of two appeals that would be taken,
one to the Circuit Court OF Appeals and
one to the United States Supreme Court,
and Pierce was admitted to bond in the
sum of $4,000.
