beautiful wife. I must go away this morning and leave you by yourself

The Princess very lonely without her husband, for he very seldom

CHEER up!

A.Newarker complained today be-
aus some of his New York friends
had. during the past few days. ap-
peared rather overwhelmingly naughty
and supercilious.
He attributed their attitude to the
recent discovery of the pink sub
way germ. He thought his friends
in Manhattan, knowing Newark
had no subway as yet and hence no
pink subway germs, were inclined
to take advantage of that fact.
We told this person to brace zip
and be a man. We suggested the
Harvard professor who thought he
discovered the pink subway germ
might have been color-blind.
But be that as it may this city
has as fine and choice an assortment
of germs as there is in the country
and no doubt if the Passaic was
searched properly some pink ones
might be found.

THE FUTURE GREAT CITY ON NEWARK BAY.

y Jersey City and Bayonne take the larger view OF their future
and of the destinies of all the region between the Watching
= mountains, Newark bay and New York bay, they will join
hands with Newark in two things, namely, the development OF the
meadows and Newark bay and the Passaic aud Hackensack, and
in keeping Newark bay free from the eyerincreasing volume OF
sewage from the Passaic valley, The commercial and industrial
opportunities presented on the waterfronts are of incalculable
value. The people of the interested municipalities only family
realize what is in their grasp, and do not yet comprehend the great
necessity of united and vigorous public action. 1t would be a
great bunder to locate the outlet Of a Passaic sewer in Newark
bay. 1t would be shortsighted for Jersey City and Bayonne to
continue their pollution of the bay with sewage. BY joining with
Newark and other municipalities to carry all sewage far out into
New York bay the sewerage question will be settled for all time,
Newark bay will be made clean and its shores fit for the commerce
Of the world TO visit. In time there will be an imperial city on
The west bank of the Hudson, combining all the cities and towns
and their great increase, and taking in all of Essex and Hudson
and large parts of other counties. From Newark bay will come
the principal wealth of this vast city. Should not the munich
paities that now rest upon the bay guard it, keep it clean, improve
and develop it. and reap some of its great benefits while the city
of the future is developing?

THE "oRIdlNAL DEAF THE NAnoNAL GUARD.

UARTERMASTER GENERAL MURRAY says "it is ridcu-
NV lous to talk of organizing the guard on the lines of the
regular army. 1t is getting entirely away from the original
idea. What was the original idea? How far back must we go
to find it? If we 90 as far as Revolutionary times we must con
TESS that the original idea was an abominably bad one, for the
militia at that day was so grossly inefficient and unreliable that
they nearly ruined the patriot cause. But there was a good excuse
for the militia during the American Revolution. The States were
poor. there We're no drillmasters, no armories and precious little
equipment. If we bring the date down later to the anteCivil War
period we find an era of fuss and feathers, and incompetency. The
citizen soldier was a mere feature for a holiday pageant. When
the Civil War broke out there was no militia regiment in the
of the North during the first two years of the war were due to
ignorance of military art and duty. Later we had the war with
Spain, and it-Nas necessary TO abandon all the existing militia
organizations and form volunteer regiments. If the original idea
was represented by the u%nreadiness of the State Guard organiza
ton to go into active service in 1898, shouldn't we get away from
it? The only excuse for the existence of a National Guard is its
ability to protect life and property in time of domestic disorders
and to be a second line of defense in time of war, and the only
way TO make it that kind of a military force is to organize it on
the lines of the regular army, of which it is an auxiliary part.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS COMMITTEE.

c. HOULD the ways and means committee of the House of Rep.
resentatiyes conduct an investigation of food prices? That
~ committee framed the obnoxious new tariff law, which is
partly chargeable for the evils the people are suffering from. The
committee is, therefore, responsible for the law, and its members
will. naturally. be disposed to use the investigation to justify the
law and themselves. The inquiry should be made by members
who do not have a banded interest in distorting it. If the new
tariff law is acquitted, the verdict should be rendered by u fairly
impartial jury, not by a jury composed of men who are the authors
of the tariff law.

All that the Legislature has done in
five weeks sittings is to pass a reso-
luton indorsing an investigation OF
food prices by Congress. That a State
Legislature was favorable to an in
vestigation of the kind already decided
upon by Congress could be taken for
granted without any formal resolu-
ton. But in this case some pretty
cheap valor is displayed. The readiest
