Streets make an interesting snbjeot
these days bnt the people of Perth
Amboy seem to be satisfied, or at
least enough of them do, to prevent
improvements being made. The pres
ent condition of our principal thor
oughfares is a disgrace, bnt then
people have become so aconstomed to
this disgraceful condition which has
existed so long that there appears to
be no disgrace any more.
The Chamber of Commerce started
out in a bold manner to tacklo the
question, but it has gotten down it
such fine legal points that its time,
henceforth will be pretty much occu
pied. The auestion before that body
now is, does mncadam constitute a
pavemen..? Everybody seems to be
lieve it does, but none will swear to
it and a committee is investigating.
To get right back to actual facts,
however, the residents o^ihis city are
still wading through mud in wet
weather and dust dry weather.
of two less dogs in
in Perth Amboy yesterday. That's
good. The only trouble is the shots
are few and far between. Things are
Improving, however, and we'll soon
be reoordmg the death of five or six
at a time. Perth Amboy has too many
dogs. We can afford to lose a hundred
or two and they would never be
missed.

Astfury Park ought to give that re
porter who wrote about the snow
squall there on Tuesday, a medal. As
a matter of fact, acoording to most
reliable authority, there was no snow
there at all, but the newspaper man's
story served its purpose all right. It
is giving the resort plenty of free ad
vertising for there is hardly a paper
in the country which has not comment
ed upon the report.

EDITORIAL comment.
Can it bf/ possible that politics play
ed a hand in the robbery of Senator
Kean'i/ henroost near Elizabeth? If
so, it was a desperate move on the
part of one of his opponents to lure
the Senator from his headquarters in
South Jersey and it will be gratifying
news to learn that it failed of its ob
ject. The Senator is still roosting at
Atlantic City. ?Newark Evening
News.
There is agitation in different parts
of the State to make the billboard and
billposter subject to municipal con
trol. That has been done in this city,
and the ordinance which Councilman
Collins originated, has effective pro
visions. It saves this oity from the
disfigurement that is complained of
in so many of the other cities and
towns in New Jersey. Yet there is
here some room for improvement;
there are too manv large billboards in
places where their tendencv is not!
to beautify the localities.? Elizabeth
Journal.
New Jersey can throw no stones at
Delaware for the lynching of a negro
ravisher. It is not so many years agD
that we lynched a negro at Eaton
town, Monmouth county, for a similar:
crime.? Camden Post-Telegram.
FOUR SHOT IN RACE KIOT.
tiro Wilmington Policemen and
Two Xenroeii Wonnded,
WILMINGTON, Del., June 26,-The
expected conflict between the two races
lias occurred, and four men have been
Bhot, two of them policemen and two
negroes. The fight took place shortly
before 11 o'clock last night. For some
hours the negroes had paraded the
Streets, driving the white people before
them.
As the negroes paraded their temper
grew steadily worse until finally the
police reserves were called out. Pres
ently the negro mob. came in collision
with a crowd of whites. It is reported
that a negro slapped a white man in
the face and that the negroes shouted:
"You white men keep off the streets.
This is our night!"
Instantly the shooting began. Four
policemen under Sergeant McDermott
were hurried to the scene. When they
arrived they saw a negro drawing a re
volver, and the sergeant attempted to
seize the weapon. He was shot in the
forehead, and a patrolman who came
to his rescue was also wounded. The
negro was roughly handled by the
whites, and another negro was shot.
About fifty shots were exchanged, and
then the two crowds separated.
After the shooting the negroes dis
persed, but there is little short of a
reign of terror here. Many of the peo
ple on the streets are armed, and there
Is already talk of reprisal on the blacks.
There was another collision between
the whites and negroes soon after mid
night, in which 'William Kramer, a ne
gro, was shot through the stomach and j
may die.
