A MUNICIPAL DOCK.

The Importance of a municipal dock was
EN- phasized by Charles A.. Mccormick, of New
Brunswick, president Of the Affiliated Boards
of Trade of Middlesex, at the meeting of that
body held in this city Friday night. Mr..
Mccormick has taken an active interest in
waterway improvements, is on the state com
mission having this matter in hand, and has
attended numerous national conventions
which have considered the improvement Of
waterways in various sections of the county.
He is, therefore, in a position to speak with
authority.
Mr.. Mccormick says a municipal dock has
greater influence than any other argument
when appealing to the government for i'm
proved harbors. Perth Amboy has a fine har-
Dor, but strange as it may seem, the city is en-
tirely without any means of making use Of the
waterfront, as far as the city itself is con-
cerned. This fact Is a matter Of great surprise
to all outsiders, but Perth Amboy people have
become accustomed to the present facilities
that they are not aware of what a municipal
dock really means.
Every city Of any size has at least one dock
which is open to the public and which cannot
be shut up at the will Of any private corpora
ton. Perth Amboy may awake to it's great
danger in this regard after it is too late. Now
is the time to heed the warning that is given
us from all sides.

RAISING CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

Some idea of what it costs to run a political
now being conducted at Washington. We do
not mean to say that the enormous contribu-
tons and expenditures that we are hearing
about are justified, but the people are being
made to realize that all the efforts put forth
to win votes must be paid for by someone.
When a political worker hands out a hand
full of pin-buttons bearing the likeness of a
candidate, or carrying some campaign slo-
gan, the average man accepts them as a mat
ter of course. These buttons are so plentiful
that one never stops to consider what they
cost. When 1t is realized that every village
and hamlet must be provided for and that the
small boy in every place has the buttons by
the score, 1t is plain that this one item alone is
no small matter.
But then there are the tons of printed mat
ter sent out containing platforms, speeches,
sketches of the lives of the candidates, and so
on. This literature goes into every corner Of
the nation. The more sent out the better, for
the voters are reasoning 1t out for themselves
these days. But meetings must also be held
and prominent speakers from remote sections
Of the country must be transported from
place to place and entertained. There must be
bands of music, red fire and carriages-all
costing money land a great deal of money, for
very few are reducing the prices to help along
the cause.
1t is not hard to see where 100000 is easily
"a. .2. -.
spent in booming a candidate just in one state.
| When the whole nation Is considered the fig
ures, after a little thought, become appalling.
Yet, up to te present campaign, the average
citizen has never felt called upon to help bear
any of the expense. But somebody had to pay,
hence the enormous contributions from the
very rich men. The people are at last begin
ming to realize that if they want their candi-
dates to be independent the people them
selves must shoulder the expense of the cam
paign. To let the candidates do it themselves
would mean that only very rich men could run
for Office. We are now learning the evils of
allowing the corporations to bear the burden.
The hearings being held in Washington will
accomplish a great good If they do nothing
more than arouse the people to a sense of
their own duty in raising the campaign funds.
