A LsA0uR or .IERssY MAYORS.

Another League of Mayors of New Jersey cities is proposed to be or
ganzed in the Office of Mayor whtpenn. of Jersey City, next Tuesday.
Perhaps if the errors and bfunders of the Mayors League organized a few
years ago. which snufed out of existence after a RTE Experience. are
made note Of the new league may live and be useful The. cities of the
State have many interests in common and have much to lear from each
other and their chief executives can confer and advise with eac other
to the great advantage of all the les. A Mayors League. once estab-
lished on a permanent basis, might further be enlarged into a League of
Municipalities. An organization of that kind could WELD a great power in
State legislation. Municipal laws and systems have been too much dictated
by the rural legislators and conseque nly many of the laws that govern
municipalities are absolute mishts. BY taking counsel with each other the
municipalities can be brought to see and favor the best features of a city
charter and something like uniformity in the municipal governments of the
state q be effected. @, FIX

WnL A CURRENCY BILL BR RNACTEDa

Will great elaboration and much talk the Senate passed the Aldrich cur
rency bill n dsent it to the House, where it was promptly repudiatedL The
bill is dead. Then the House Speaker decided for the House that there would
be o currency legislation this year. He a compelled % retreat from that
arbitrary position or face a revolt and hence the conference, OIL of which has
been evolved the idea of revising the Vreaand emergency bill, tied up in the
House committee, to, if possible, make it unobjctionable enough to permit
its passage. A committee of the conferees is to report the revised bill next
Monday night and probably a measure a be framed to command support
by the House majority. But the Senate is as doubtful now as the House was
before, and there Is nj more assuranc that it will pass the emasculated vree-
land bill than there was that the House would enact the AIdrch bill The
prospects OF currency legislation of any kind before adjournment are not as
bright al they seen.

OUR BAT7LHsHIPs PEACHMAKsRs.

The thousands of Japanese and Chinese OIL the Pacific coast never before
behhd a spectacle like that which was presented to them at San Francisco
yesterday. Their ideas of American naval power we're limited to their en-
vironments and they had no conception of any greater power. This was a
revelation to them. The mail correspondence of these siatcs with their kin
bred and friends at home has always behttled the might of the United States
and the impressions thus given gave rise tic that truculent spirit in Japan
that wanted to 20 to war in resentment of fancied racial injuries in Cali
fornia. Oriental correspondence across the Pacific will now have a different
story ITO tell and will produce a entirely different impression. The battle
ship fleet is indeed a great pacifer and peacemaker. g..

SEWAGE TOWNS BELOW AS WELL AS ABOVE.

SEWAGE TOWNS BELUW . WE'LL 10 ADOFE
Jersey city and Bayonne empty sewage into Newark Bay two and a half
rallies above the point of location for the outlet of the proposed trunk sewer
for the Pasgaic valley. The incoming tide carries this sewage back ron the
bay inoth the Pamaict o a distance equal to that with which Newark sewage
is carried II the river by the tide 81 that at flood tide W re get nt only our
wv sewage but a considerable addition from the communities o Newark
Bay. city Engineer sherrerd is the first mn to point out this fact con-
tending that if Jersey city and Bayonne are left at liberty to use the bay
3 a Newark will be shorn of much of the benefit of a trunk sewer
and asserting that under the law these cities cal be included in the sewerage
district to be assessed for the cost Of the sewer. In the opinion IF the city
counsel this could not be done under the legislative act But 1t is just as
desirable to keen the bay. which has a contracted flow through the Kill Won
KuI. free of sewage as the Passac River, and necessarily with the increase
of population around the bay the pollution must increase b detrimental
to the by dwelers themselves. 1t wo ud, therefore, make the plan of sewer
age complete to- if practicable. bring into it's operation every community that
drains into rive and bay, from Pater o to Bayonne.
