JERSEYS DEcADENT CANALS.


TO Their Former Prestige.
The New Jersey League for Equal
and Direct Taxation has taken up for
inquiry by the State Legislature the
question Of the decadence of the Del
aware and Raritan Canal. 1t is al
legged that the canal has been practi-
cally abandoned and studied effort
made to kill off. by discrimination in
supplying boats, the cheap method
of transportation by this canal There
are said to be many ruins of factories
along the canal between New Bruns-
wick and Bordentown, killed off by
this means.
Senator Siizer. AID ii-si--1r.ia Sex. mas
taken hand and has offered a reso-
luton Mailing for the appointment OF
comqittee to inquire into the loss
Of canal traffic. 1t appears. according
to the information in the hands OF
the Direct Taxation League, that
since 1879, when the Pennsylvania
Railroad took control of this canal,
its traffic has steadily fallen on and
the canal itself has been neglected.
In 1895 the canal traffic was only
$1,000 tons. In 1870 it had increased
to 100000 tons.
This immense traffic had been al.
most doubled in the previous ten
years. Had the canal traffic increased
in like proportion, the canal inyestt
gators say, the traffic would now be
upward of 100000 tons annually
Now It Is practically nil in 1883
there were 1100 mules drawing canal
boats on the canal, and now there are
less than forty. Only two or three
steamboats, now tow barges in place
of the twenty in use twenty years
ago. and there is now an annual def
cit Of SIPS. 1000.
The same state of affairs is said to
exist on the old Morris Canal. Canal
boats abandoned because of the chok-
ing of of canal traffic, lie in the
canal locks, rotting away, and have
become menace to navigation. II
is said that in Jersey City, near Glare.
mont. one railroad has built an over
head track across the canal in such
manner as to make it impossible
for canalboat to pass underneath it,
At all events, no canalboat has passed
through at that point in several years,
Both these waterways we're built
by the State at great expense, and
cross the State through rich and pop.
ulous districts. The Jersey Direct
Taxation League officials believe the
canals can be made to enrich the
State by revival of traffic at rates
much below the freight rates prevail.

have been at work against the canals

For the benefit Of the prospective
big game hunters a correspondent
finally disposes Of the theory that
tiger IS unable to Jump to any height
from all fours. He records that he
took refuge In a tree from a particu-
lar tiger. The beast, however,
jumped up to him, ''like an India
rubber ball, a good seven feet" and
It was only "by letting go with my
right and ramming both barrels
down his mouth that I did not have
a very bad time of It."
The moral evidently is that when
avoiding tiger it is necessary to find
a tree with its lowest branch at least
sixteen feet from the ground.-India
