great mass OF honest voters reioit
ed to see the precautions taken TO
make SUR that their ballot is not
Offset By fraud
Naturally there are some rough
edges that need to be trimmed off to
simplify matters a little here and
there, but on the whole the people
are almost unanimous that the new
form Of ballot is a big improvement.
In fact, no state has ever gone back
to the strip ballot after once using
the blanket ballot. The advantage
of the latter is so apparent that no
n yer thinks of returning to the
old system. New Jersey will be no
exception.
The Geran law is all right. AM
other ear the voters will be still
o. accustomed to the new order
of things and then they will won
der why they put up with the old
method so long.

Woodlawn Park Congregational church.
He resigned because certain members
of the ,urch objected TO his action In
donnir overalls and working as an
express messenger at SIS a week to
augment his salary of s120 a month
from the church.
That manual labor lowered the dig
nifty Of the pastor, was the objection
made by the members OF the church,
and according to friends OF the pastor,
while they were unable to have him
ousted from the pulpit, they made
things SO unpleasant for him that he

The pastors resignation and the dis
| closure of the actions of the members
who forced it, has caused so much In,
dignation toward them on the part oil
other members of the church that they
have withdrawn their memberships

MEN CALLED OFF.

While labor unions have their
uses and, as a whole, are a good
thing, the feature that brings them
into disrepute before the eyes Of the
general public quicker than any
thing else Is brought out prominent
ly by the action of the sheet iron and
metal workers ON the high school
addition. A strenuous effort Is be-
ing made to have the addition ready
for use by November Is. Just as
1t began to lock as If this would be
accomplished the sheet iron and
metal workers suddenly quit work
When the general contractor de.
manded an explanation, he was told
that owing to difficulties in New
York the men were called off indefi,
nitely. Just what "difhculties In
New York" have to do with the higt
school addition in Perth Amboy Il
not plain, but it shows one of the in
consistencies of organized labor
The innocent suffer with thos,
against whom the union has a griev
ance. There is something RADICAL
wrong in this, and until unions sue
ceeds in taking care of It's friend
while fighting its Toes it canno
gain the fun confidence of the pee
pie.

PERTH AMBoy IN HISTORY.

The EVENING NEWS has re-
ceived an extract from Morse's
Universal Geography, dated March
IL, 1889, at Charleston, Mass, tell
ing how Perth Amboy received its
name. lie reads as follows.
Perth Amboy (eity) took its
name from James Drummond, earl
of Perth, and Ambo, the Indian
word for point, and stands on a
neck of land included between Rari-
tan river and Arthur Kill Sound.
Its situation is high and healthy. 1t
lies open to Sandy Hook, and has
one of the best harbors on the con-
tinent. Vessels from sea may enter
1t In one tide, In almost any wealth
er. Great efforts have been made,
and legislative encouragement Of
fered, to render 1t a place of trade,
but without success. This town was
early incorporated with city privil-
eyes and continued to send two
members to the general assembly
until the revolution. Until this
event it was the capital of East Jer-
sey, and the legislature and SUI
preme court used to sit here and at
Burlington alternately"
We note that this account says,
great efforts have been made, and
legislative encouragement offered,
to render 1t . place of trade, but
without success" Probably this is
true up to 1879 and even later, all
though We never heard of my leg
i~slatiye encouragement being offer
But this cannot be said of
Perth Amboy today. The city is
decidedly a place of trade now and
we would like to see a little legls-
encouragement along this
line that we might make 1t still
more SO. We have, on several oc-
called attention to the
arge sum appropriated by the state
t Connecticut for the improvement
I the harbor of New London. New
ersey would make no mistake In
endering similar assistance to the
ort of Perth Amboy.

TAMMANY In NEW YORK.

.Tamnaany has again carried New
York. This is not surprising. 1t
has only been at rare intervals that
the organization has been beaten,
And then only by a fusion ticket.
Tammany methods are notorious.
There is not another political or
ganization of its kind in the world.
New York will have to devise some
new method of choosing officials If
It is to be freed from bondage.
But II Tammany has controlled
New York IN the pat there Is all
the more reason why 1t should now
strengthen It's hold on the city. The
reason is plain. While the thickly
populated tenement district Is be-
coming more crowded, the better
class Of people, where the
Independent vote is found. are
moving away and locating in the
suburbs. There is no question now
OF the East Side vote being in con-
troll, and ii the East Side where
Tammany Is strongest. 1t is there
where the district leaders find jobs
for the unemployed son or brother
and where the ton OF coal Ia sen to
the poor widow. This all counts for
Tammany ON election day.
With the added transportation IA
cilities for New York. the higher and
the great middle classes are
going to move out into the
country more and more, leav-
Ing the control of the city al
most absolutely In the hands of the
Tammany class-men who care not
what kind of government they get al
long as they are provided with worI
and are shown a good time.
Just what New York is going t.
do to beat it Is a problem. Ever
the millionaire landlords are chang

dence from Fifth avenue, to New
