coNvERY LAO BRIDGE.

1t is to be hoped that some set
Element may Don be reached regard
ing the bridge over the Lehigh Val
ley railroad at Convery place. AS
has been said this thoroughfare is
needed by a rapidly growing western
section of the city. People living
In that district are now forced to
come down New Brunswick avenue
to Prospect street, cross over to
Smith street and turn west again in
order ia traverse what would other
wise be a very short distance. We
believe the aldermen are using ev-
cry effort possible to remedy the
condition In order to give the peo-
pie relief and the frequent confer
ences being held with the Lehigh
Valley railroad officials are bound
to bring results.
f -e tN T.
Whether or not the city should
bear the expense of the construc-
ton of the bridge is a matter for.
the aldermen to settle. The Lehigh
Valley company has made an offer
to bear part of the expense and, If it
is a reasonable amount, 1t may be
cheaper for the city to accept the
proposition than to go in litigation,
which would doubtless continue for
several years. thus depriving the
people of the section Of a much
waited long enough already. It is to
be hoped that something may be
done before the present year closes.

James p. MARITIME will take the
oath OF office as United States sena-
tor, in Washington, next Tuesday.
This marks the beginning Of the new
era in New Jersey politics. 1t has
been a long time since this state has
been represented IN the upper House
of congress by a Democrat.
Mr.. MARITIME is the first senator to
be seated from an eastern state as
the result of a direct primary. New
Jersey is to be congratulated on thus
leading the way for her sister COM
monweaiths in this section of the
country.
Mr.. MARITIME is a man of the peo-
pie in every respect. He can be de-
pended upon to stand on the popular
side OF every issue that arises and
New Jersey is bound to be heard
from in the senate in all future
legislation affecting the masses.
We believe that Mr.. MARITIME will not
only make a record for himself in
the senate, but will be an honor to
the state and a credit to the peo-
-
pie who made him their choice for
the high office which he now fills.

The Atlantic City Review has
found an interesting item In a Ger
man newspaper, which the Review
thinks is worthy of attention in At
iantic city. We think our readers
would also be interested in it, The
Reviews comments, including the
article from the German paper. are
as follows:
In a recent German paper the fol-
lowing appeared:
THE place of mayor of Magde-
burg is vacant. The salary is 21,000
marks (s5,250 o year. including the
rental OF a dwelling in the city hall.
Besides his salary the incumbent will
receive 1000 marks 6$1,000) for his
official expenses. Candidates should
apply before September 1st."
Can anyone imagine an American
city advertising for a mayor? Pri-
vate corporations seek only the most
skilled specialists for their presi-
dents, and they retain them so long
as they make good. Other cities
choose as their mayors totally mex
perienced men, selected for party re-
ward or expediency, and then. be-
cause of party necessity, remove
them before experience In office can
bring any degree of efficiency.
In choosing CITY officials, the Ger
mans place their confidence In D g
eialists. We. Americans each election
are concerned in giving a vote of
confidence to birds, the eagle or the
rooster.

TO EXEMPT FIRENsEN.

~ 44T+aEr r U
Assemblyman Matthews, of Hum
terdon. has introduced q bill in the
legislature Of considerable merit.
The bill is entitled
"An Act o~authorizs the issuing
OF licenses to exempt members of
any volunteer fire department, vol
unteer FIRE engine hook and ladder,
hose, supply company, or salvage
corps of the cities. towns. boroughs,
townships and fire districts In this
State, for hawking, peddling and
vending of merchandise within this
State"
Until a few years ago exempt fire.
men received a reduction in their tax
assessment as q means of compensa-
ton for their services to the public
in fighting fires In their respective
communities. This law, after stand
ing on the statute books for some
time. was declared unconstitutional.
The Exempts were thus forced to
pay their full amount of tax, the
same as other persons, allowing
them no recognition whatever for
their work done. Later @ law was
passed permitting cities to allow
every fireman ten dollars q year for
their services. While this Is some
recognition, it does not begin to
compensate the men for the amount
of work performed.
While the bill that has just been
introduced will not be of benefit to
all the volunteer firemen, 1t does
show some recognition and may be
an assistance to some members, Civ
ing them some advantage over the
ordinary citizens similar to what war
veterans enjoy. The act is a short
one and should be passed. 1t reads
as follows:
BE IT ENACTED by the Senate
and General Assembly of the State OF
New Jersey:
/. Every member of any volun-
teer fire department, volunteer fire
engine. hook and ladder, hose. sup
ply company, OF salvage corps, of any
city, town, borough, township. or fire
district In this state. holding an ex,
emption certificate issued to him as
an exempt member OF any such com,
pany or corps, who is a resident o.
this State, shall have the right tt
hawk. peddle and vend any goods
wares or merchandise or sohci
trade within this State by procuring
d license fo4 that purpose, to be Is
sued as herein provided.
2. On the presentation TO the clerl
Eof any county In which any sucl
exempt member may be or reside. o.
such exempason certificate. suel
lconnty clerk shall isaue without eos

ALBANY. N. T., March 2s.--More
money was wasted in the construction
of the State Capitol at Albany than
on any public structure in America.
1t was estimated when its construc-
ton was authorized by the Legisla-
ture In 1888 that the buildings plan
ned would cost about $4,000. 900. Ac-
cording to the State records for the
fiscal year ended September 80. last.
the total amount expended had been
more than S26. geo, 000--and the orig
inal plans had not been carried out.
The city OF Albany Ia built upon
several hills, and on the highest of
these stands the building which was
ture OF white granite, with red cap
ped towers. and crowns the pyramid
Of all OF the other city buildings loom
Ing gigantfcally. no matter which way
people enter the city.
Scandal has attended the progress
or construction since the first shovel

had been spent charges were made
that much Of this sum had been mis-
applied. legislative investigation

ed was that the work had been done
on the day labor plan. and that many
men had been carried on the pay roll
who had never seen the structure.

west, and with it's porticos covers
three acres. The walls are 100 feet
high from the water table. Its cost
Of more than $25.0o0,0 600 has been
sharply contrasted with the cost OF
the Capitol at Washington. which
covers more than Ave and a half acres
and on which only $1l.725.47S was
expended.
The first excavation or the build
ing was started on December Q, 1867,
and the first stone in the foundation
was laid July I. 1869.
The cornerstone was laid on June
