VA Y HEN the East Jersey Water Company, through one of it's
wy subsidiaries, started to get possession of the driven wells
and pumping plant of the city of Newark at Belevtle
THE STAR, in opposing the contemplated deal in the Newark
Board of Works, declared that the water company had Interior
objects, that the use Of the well water at BeIeFille was only a
cover for something more important. 1t was pointed out that
these wells would have an average daily yield of not more than
seven or eight million gallons. President BealL of the subsidiary
company, protested, with a great appearance of sincerity, that the
company had no other object except to fulfil a contract with Staten
Island for not more than twelve millions of gallons daily. The
purpose of the water company was frustrated in the Board OF
Works Publicity did good service in that case. With the same
wells at Belleville, and meanwhile kept extending its pipe system
toward the Kill Won Kull, a system capable of transporting all
the water pumped by the East Jersey at Little Falls. 1t finally
became apparent what the ultimate aim of the East Jersey Water
Company waste establish an interstate connection and then defy
the laws and the courts of this State. That was the real object of
the attempted lease Of Newarks water supply plant at BelleVille
and of the subsequent sinking of new wells there. 1t explains
every step taken by East Jersey Water Company interests In the
Passaic valley, in the Legislature, in the courts and at Washing.
ton. The East Jersey Water Company is only a part of a great
water supply combination In this State that is financed in New
York. 1t was organized to secure monopoly control of the potable
waters of New Jersey. Included in the plans of this combination
3 dam at Mountain View, a short distance above the intake Of the
East Jersey Water Company. In South Jersey the combination
planned to secure control of all the municipal water supplies from
Trenton to Cape May, and q first attempt to carry out this scheme
was made in the city of Camden. In North Jersey the plans hinged
on the getting of large pipes under the Kill Won KunI. The in
trigues at Washington and the tricks of the water company at
torneys in our courts and their sharp practses in municipalities
all look to the one end-the piping of the Kill Won Kull, escape
from New Jersey State Jurisdiction and protection from State
control upon the claim that it is engaged in interstate commerce
and amenabIe only to the Federal law. The subsidiary company
has been bankrupted by the expense incurred and there has been
a vast expenditure besides more than the profits of a water
supply for Richmond borough would amount to for the whole
period of the contract. Thousands of dollars are still being ex
pended for the contamination of an object which, if effected, will
make private fortunes out of the sacrificed welfare Of the people of
the State.

FAVORABLE OUTLOOK FOR RECIPROCITY.

11Ta HERE has not been much doubt of the passage of the reoi
procty bill in the House of Representatives. The popular
branch of Congress is naturally more susceptible to public
sentiment than is the Senate, but the test vote taken in the House
yesterday showed that without the Democratic vote the bill would
be defeated in the House, as the motion for the immediate con
Mderation of the bill was favored by 1874 Democrats and only SO
Republicans, while 101 Republicans opposed the motion. 1t is
assumed that all those who voted against immediate consideration
are antagonistic to the bill. But it is evident, also, that the popu-
lar sentiment has its effect upon the Senate, and the prospects
are now favorable for an affirmative vote in that body. II the bill
passes the House by a substantial majority strong influences will
rally to get it through the Senate. New Jersey wants reciprocity.
The people of this State ask to have the tax on Canadian food
products removed. They want raw material from Canada free.
They look to their representatives in the Senate and House to
give their votes to a bill so strongly recommended by the Presi-
dent and so greatly needed by the American people.

St. Valentines Day
and IFS Traditions
part ST. valentine. the mar-

VY7HAT part st. Valentine, the mar
" tyred Bishop of Rome, played In
betraying the antics OF Dan Cupid is
still shrouded In mystery, or why st.
Valentine's Day should have been
chosen for the distribution of love-let-
ters or tokens.
However, its celebration has been
traced back to old Roman days when
the Lupercalia, feasts honoring Pan
and Juno, took place during the month
OF February, when, amidst ~pretentious
and various ceremonies, the names of
young m were put in a box, from
which the SWANS drew them, accord
ing to chance.
From his old festival sprang thu
Christian feast of substituting saints
names for those of women and they
celebrated this fete on st. Valentines
Day, says the Philadelphia Press. :
There was an ancient custom which
continued until comparatively recent
times, for an equal number of young
men and women to meet on h v Of
st. Valentines Day and to hold a kind
of lottery. Their names, real or as
sumed, were each written on separate
slips of paper, and then the maids with
trepidation proceeded to draw the
names of the bachelors, and the
bachelors the anne Of the maids, and
in this chance way each became a
Valentine" and 1t became the duty
of the gentleman to pay homage to
his Valentine during the ensuing year,
and give her gifts and wear her name
in his bosom or upon his sleeve.
Besides drawing lots, 1t was also
thought proper to choose for his valen-
tine the first young man OF woman that
one CHANGED to see or meet on the
morning of February IA.
There was a tradition that every bird
chose Its mate on Valentines Day, and
1t was the custom for the young peo-
pie to go early in the morning and try
to catch an owl and two sparrows IN a
net. It was considered a good omen
II they succeeded.
Those were days in which great
faith vas placed In charms, and all
the rural maidens had ways of fore
telling the name of their future hus-
band. On the eve of ST. Valentines
Day they gathered five bay leaves'and
pinned them to their pillows, n in
each corner and one In the middle. If
she dreamed of her sweetheart, she
would marry him before the year was
out.
But to make sure she must boil ar
egg until 1t was hard. remove the yolk,
and fill its place with salt. Before re-
firing. she must eat egg. salt, shell and
all, and neither speak nor drink after
wards. This was, indeed, apt to bring
forth a dream.

SPHERE OF RECIPROCITY HNLARdlNd.

I'D RESIDENT TAFT is so well pleased with the reception by
liz the country of the proposition for reciprocity with Canada
that he is encouraged to announce that he also favors
reciprocity with the Latin-American States, and, in fact, with all
Europe. The late President Mckinley, shortly before his death,
advocated the same general policy. He did not confne his recon-
mendations to any particular nation, but would have negotiated
reciprocity treaties with all nations. Mr.. Taft stands just where
President Mckinley did. 1t will be remembered that the earnest
recommendations of the latter were met with great favor by the
American public. When he died it seemed that the reciprocity
principle was buried with him, for until the present session of
Congress no step was taken to carry out his idea. Reciprocity
need not affect the protective principle or do any harm to any
Legitimate interest. Nations go into such treaties with their eyes
open and solely with the view to reciprocal advantages. They
make no concessions that they cannot yield without undue sacrifice.
