STATE AID FOR BRIDGES.

A persistent effort has been made to have
the Legislature take steps whereby the state
would pay part of the expense of bridge to
be erected between Atlantic and Cape May
counties, connecting Somer's Point with Beas
ley's Point The bill provided that the state
should pay 100000 of the total cost Of the
structure. The measure was lost earlier In the
session, but reappeared and has now been de-
teated a second time. 1t is significant that
there was a great deal Of lobbying in favor
Of the measure, which is explained by the
fact that Philadelphia capitalists, who own
some property in Cape. May county which they
desire-to develop, were understood to be back
-~sf The measure.
The legislature is to be commended for
turning down this bill to disgorge the state of
half million dollars for structure that Is
to connect two counties in a sparsely settled
section where comparatively few people will
be benefited We are reminded that few
years ago. when a statewide demand was
made for structure across the Raritan river
between the two Amboys so as to make di-
rect route between the large cities and the
shore, Middlesex county was forced to shoul-
der the entire expense of the structure.
Yet this structure is used by far more people
who live outside of the county than by the
local residents. In the bridge for the southern
end Of the state there are two counties to
divide the expense.
The Legislature did we'll to kill the south
Jersey bill. Such precedent once established
would lead to all kinds of trouble.
If at any time it should be deemed feasible
for the state to annex such bridge as a part
of the state highway, 1t will be time enough
for the structure to be taken over. 1t is to be
hoped that such action will be taken regard
ing the Amboy bridge over the Raritan river.
This would be justified owing to the fact that,
as already stated, the bridge Is used far more
by non-residents than by those living in Mid
alesex county.

FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY.

Mayor Garretson has taken timely action in
the matter of planning for the next Fourth
of July celebration. Perth Amboy has estab-
hshed record in this matter and it is plain
that Mayor Garretson is determined to keep
up the reputation.
1t cannot be denied that Perth Amboy is a
much safer and more enjoyable place on the
Fourth of July under the new order of things
that in the old days when all kinds of noise
and racket was the custom, The mayor has
appealed to those who have assisted on for
mer occasions to join with him in the move
ment for the present year. 1t is to be hoped
that he will receive prompt and unanimous
response SO that the work can be entered into
with zeal and this years celebration made the
best yet held.

RECOGNIZE THE CLAIM,

That the Board of Freeholders has taken up
the subject of branch court house in Perth
Amboy shows that the demand for the cree
ton Of such building is receiving the con
sideration that is due it, and should encourage
those who are anxious to bring this about.
There is every reason to believe that the free
holders would not have given the matter any
consideration whatever if they were not con-
yinced that Perth Amboy is deserving of rec
ognition and that the demand for a branch
court here is justified.
OF course, the subject of expense must be
considered and this is where the freeholders
will hesitate. It is right that they should con-
slider such proposition we'll before they act
because of the amount of money involved We
believe, however, that when the freeholders
have heard all the arguments in the case they
will be able to see beyond the first cost Of con.
structing court house here, and will realize
the great expense the individual taxpayers are

AS TO NIGHTMARES.

Somebody ought to pinch the Perth Amboy News and
wake it up before its dream of county court house be-
comes nightmsre-New Brunswick Times.
On the contrary, 1t is time the New Bruins
wick Times woke up in this branch court
house NATTER 1t seems to be sleeping SO
soundly that the whole county seat may be
stolen away from 1t before it realizes
what is actually going on. New Brunswick
has been pinched so often to bring it to reali-
zation that it is no longer the whole county
that one would think it would be thoroughly
aroused by this time. 1t seems that such Is
not the case. New Brunswick has already had
her nightmare when she saw Perth Amboy
forge into first place in the county. 1t looks
now as if she were going to roll over for an
other nap. 1t shame to disturb her.

this proposed currency bill with the
railroads under the Interstate Com

frequently remarked that if a man in
Bryan S position cannot live on $4,000
a year, how can the average citizen of
the United States live and support q
family on mere fraction OF the
amount Secretary Bryan receives9 This
idea is developed in poem written by
clerk in the Department of Justice,
who appears to be not in the least
afraid Of Bryan's vengeance, and is
willing to put the idea in rhyme, and to
develop the point indicated. which he
does in the following lines:

That claim is not that he wants to
"fatten his roll, but that $4,000 a
year-$1000 months not enough to
pay his living expenses.
Some years ago Mr. Bryan put forth
a scornful datribe against those public
men who went to Washington and took
on plutocratic notions, in defiance of
the simplicity of life which should dis
tinguish public servants; that they
spread out from their ordinary style of
home living, and resolved "to keep up
with the pace This idea Mr.. Bryan
dressed down in truly savage, ironic
style, and because of what he said then
and his general attitude against those
who live in luxury at the public ex-
pense, he has been dubbed "The Great
Commoner;" but now he throws away
all that high repute and allows it to be
waited TO the winds by the first gale
He also struggles to keep the pace and
live fat from the public purse His
case is truly deplorable one, as man
who has fallen from his previous high
estate, and has landed right in the pit
with the other dollar r-chasers and luxu-
rious livers whom he was supposed so
much to scorn.

AMERICAN woRKMEN's LIVING

Recently there has been in this coun-
try a party Of Russian tourists. who
have investigated public and labor con-
ditions in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and
other of the Eastern centers of indus
try. These tourists have been struck
not so much with our popular institu-
tions, not so much with our magnifi
cent scenery, nor with the opportuni
ties for economic advantage enjoyed by
the citizenship generally, as by the com
fort of living and good housing of
American woIkingmen. They find in
the sanitary and well furnished homes
in which the workers of the United
States live, something that calls for
their special admiration. They state
warmly that Russia has nothing to
compare with it, nor has any other
country in the world.
This Russian party has developed a
radical difference between what goes
TO the core of a great question and
those things that merely skim over the
surface. A great many who come to
this country pay their chief attention
TO the liberties of the people, others
to the grand expanse Of the country,
and the magnificent opportunities there
in. Americans who go to Europe do
not pay much attention TO the eco,
nomic conditions of the masses of the
European peoples, their housing, or their
daily lives. They look with amazement
and wonder upon the great ruins they
see of a civilization that has already
gone by,
But these Russian tourists came here
to find out what the difference is be.
