Sommer, 794 Broad St. Long Distance Telephone ----- 98 Entered at Post-Office as second class matter. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13. i9°3 Tberfe seems to l>e a mistaken idea that the new bridge being agitated bv Freeholders Hanoy and Glenn, over Staten Island sound, is going to cost Middlesex county something. Even a* wise a sage as the editor of the New Brunswick Home News fell into this misapprehension, at first, but it is noted that he corrected the mistake when one of his correspondents made reference to it in a reoent issue of his paper. As a matter of fact, the bridge will not cost the county a cent. It would be built between two States and the States would have to pay the cost. Messrs. Haney and Glenn have made good progress thus far in the project and they should be encouraged rather than ridiculed. At first thought the bridge would seem a little too much, but there is nothing like trying. The bridge would be a nice thing and as long as there is hope, push it along. Surely the county ought to have no objection since it is • ' in no wise concerned except to have one or two of its freeholders p4* t'ie fil^nferences to help smoke^go^ cigars. HSp^Btorsi^g Omigrelsman John J. Gardner for governor, the Republicans of Atlantic county have opened the way for a split among the southern counties in selecting a gubernatorial candidate and thereby the northern section of the State will be given an opportunity to step in and steal the nomination. Mr. Gardner has served his State well in the national congress and he should be kept there. It is only by long service that a congress man gets upon any of the important committees in the House of Repre sentatives. New Jersey has changed her congressmen too often in this re gard. The Republicans throughout the State have practically agreed upon Mr. Stokes for governor. He is a capable man and South Jersey would 4o well to stand solid for him. It begins to look as if the local Democrats were going to be split as badly, if not worse, than the local Republicans. With two tickets in the field, they would divide their vote stifficiently to let the Republicans walk in hands down. Prom present appearances, it would seem that the Republicans wore going to have the chance of their lives to get a hold in the city government this fall, anyway. The new tax assessments have not set very well with a great many. No one realized the effect this would have on the voters better than the Democrats themselves. It has been known for several years that the city must have more money and the only way to get it was through taxation, but it was also realized that the party in power, when the valuations were raised, would have to suffer and the evil day was put off as long as possible. At last the deed w»H|ne and th« result will be knowi^fl^iy after election this fall. /He "Democrats need to sta-art by each other as never betore this fall, if they want to hold their own. If the Republicans will put away their knives they may be able to break up the solid democratic major ity in the council. The floods at Paterson have ceased to be a wonder. It now seems evident the city will be partly submerged every time there is an unusually heavy rain for a portion of the land is only a few feet higher than the river. This being the case, Paterson should send a commission to the Netherlands to investigate the art of building dikes.or go to New Orleans to sec how the Mississippi is handled and plan to keep the river in its bed upon such occasions as have just past. The people know now what to expect and unless something is done to pro vide against the reoccurrence of the floods, the city will lose the sympathy as well as actual assistance which have heretofore been offered on all sides.

Interest in orange culture, always an absorbing topic, has much increased since the recent announcement of the United States department of agricul- k ture that after much experimentation an orange has finally been developed that oan stand many degrees more cold than the varieties that have heretofore' been known. Californians are eagerly inquiring about the new variety, for it means the enlargement of the citrus section of the Golden state. Even be fore the discovery of the new orange the citrus industry of California had grown until it has now exceeded the wildest dreams of the early orchardist.—Jane L.
