.TA1r DEPARTMENTS THAT WON'T BLEND.

1t would be poor economy tic consolidate the State Bureau OF Statistics with
the State department Of Labor. II the TWO departments are united the work of
the oe will kill the usefulness of the other. A apartment ann wear two
faces to a manufacture ne o. command and threat n h other of soncta-
ton. Manufacturers canno be compelled to furnish data about heir affairs t.
q State board. They do this voluntarily to the Bureau of Statistics. They are
compelled to make expensive changes, an eve sacrifices, at the demand of the
Department of Labor Last year that department issued peremptory orders to
the number of 221s including 1876 for the dismissal of children. When III in
spetors from a department issuing these orders usually irritating, appearw with
requests for alta, what kind OF consideration will be given to them? The object
OF the State is to get full an accurate data of the industries If the State. That
object would be seriously crippled by uniting tn W departments. The data
obtained would be inadequate, inaccurate and therefore. practically worthless.
The duties of h W departments conflict, and cannot be blended. 1t would be
economic folly to attempt IL.

Al1uays the Mayor of East Mewark,
Although He Is an Assembnman
And His Loved Home Town Is
First and Last with Ed
ward Kenny.

HE PENNSYLVANIA railroad takes
forty-nine miles out of your
mileage book. ii you're SO for
tunate as to have one. when you go
from Newark to Trenton. That keeps
the two cities out of earshot, at least.
East Newark is even further, though
not much. But you hear the latter
mentioned a dozen times in the
State House to any other one of the
punches of small towns that decorate
the map of New Jersey and send their
legislators to the Senate and the AS
serpbl:-.
1t is only fair to say, though, that
East Newark is not mentioned for itself
alone. There is usually some xcu for
it. such as an argument on the floor.
The speaker sits down and some one
behind you says
That was Mayor Kenny, of East
Newark"
Always that way. Never Assembly
man Edward Kenny, of Hudson" or
former Mayor Kenny but mayor
Kenny. of East Newark" The whole
thing is his title.
East Newark is coupled with Kenny's
name, whether he is in Trenton, where
he legislates; Newark. where he works,
or any part of the world where he trav-
els. East Newark is his hobby. He
would rather think up something new
to get for East Newark than eat. Just
to show the way he feels about it. he
has introduced this year in the Legis-
lature a bill that would put the town in
a class by itself. 1t is home rule, with
big f~recrackers and a cheer at the end
of it. The State is a back number and
worse than a ran outsider
East Newark can, or could, If the

buildings against which they were
built. The sidewalk. he commended, be-
longed to the city and il any revenue
is to be derived from it the city should
be the beneficiary.
One of Mr.. Kenny's chief ~recreations
is travelling, and travel to him means
at least n visit to ireland. He drops
over there quite often and on one of
his trips he kissed the blarney stone,
so they say. You can credit it when he
speaks, which he does with gratifying
frequency.
He knows Shakespeare by the ream
and the House in that way is able to
acquire a knowledge of the "bard OF
Avon,' for the Mayor" is strong on
quotations.
Mayor Kenny is a Yale graduate and
was clerk, collector and attorney for
kearny until he merged his identity
with that of mayor of East Newark

IN L~OVELYVILLE.


In Lovelyville, understand. no man
may buy land except as he strictly Gov
enants TO build thereon a house costing
at least $4,000. Thus poverty is ban.
ished at a stroke, together with all that
horde of things evil which follows in
poverty's train.
1t is true, no doubt, since the great
est of poets lays SO, that there's a soul
of goodness in things evil; and for lack
of that, perhaps, L~ovelyville grows at
length a species of spiritual Sahara,
where spiritual savages dwell.
But what do cultivated men and
women care for things of the spirit?
AS for children, and the difficulty Of
bringing them up rightly in an environ
inent SO clustered and barren. there Is
only the remotest possibility of these
troublesome little wretches ever coming
in fashion again.

J RAILROAD Cosr AND VALUATION.

The aggregate Of capital stock and bonded debt of the railroads in New
Jersey is 3165 O6Hs7a The total assessment of the railroads is on a valuation
of ST2219e9o. The rule is that the total of stocks an bonded debt of a all
Dad property represents the cost Of the property. There is a difference of
S4L2as75e77 between the cos of railroad property in New Jersey and its
assessed valuation for. taxation. las the property deprecated in value since
franchise value? BY what particular rule is it determined? No doubt the State
Board of Assessors could clear III a N apparently needless mysdfcation of the
public on this subject The franchise is Jumped with the frst-classr real estate
because Governor Albeit. Il n able lawyer, advised it, to forNan railroad Im-
cation in the courts. The franchise is par OF. III real estate. But in what pro-
rouon@ Would 1t imperl State interests 20 say?

STATE CONTROL OF COUNTY

What particular interest a nan living in New Brunswick can possess in
creating for Essex and Hudson counties three $1,000 saared officers in each
county. to be paid ot of the county treasures passes comprehension. MIR Nc,
keag. Of Middleax,h has introduced a bill to compel tho two counties to estab-
1h boards who are. to be appointed by the Governor, and. therefore, be free
from local control, to nave exclusive charge of the county institutions and of ali
their inmates This bill would place all ur county institutions to support which
the people Of thu county are annually taxed, under control of h State and
compel the taxpayers 20 pay extra for being deprived of the right to administer
their W property. Evidently Mr.. McEeags bill hs the sam inspiration as
the bill for jury commissions appointve by judicial appontees of thu Governor
of the proposition for a State Excise Commission appdntive by hi Governor
and Of other similar bills, all of which would swell the already too great
patronage of the State executive.
