AND SILENCE. |¢ ~ At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the| “Bugar Trust yesterday Mr. Havemeyer said: e “We have 13,000 stockhulders, and any information | 4 ‘which they as a body may ask for we will at all times |» ‘Be ready to furnish Up to the present the stockholders | © thaye determined that special information shall not be| ? given to individual stockholders.” 2 ‘Mr. Havemeyer is mistaken, The Sugar Trust has 3 80,000,000 stockholders, of whom 13,000 collect dividends | ¥ and the rest pay assessments. The American Sugar Retin- 4ng Company has gone into partnership with the Govern- ment on the bas. of the tariff, which, as Mr. Have- Meyer once testified, is “the mother of all trusts.” In this partnership the trust has all the profits and the ‘public all the burdens. Now Mr. Havemeyer wpotifies the| ‘assessment-payers that he and his associates are going| "to keep not only all the profits, but all the informa- tion. But perhaps he may be mistaken. The Department of Commerce and Lahor has the machinery to enforce publicity, and that machinery may be used after the 4th of March next year, if not now. PPOBHS 9G4-4696-964 THE WOES OF JERSEY CITY. When Colombia interfered with the transit facilities | on the Isthmus of Panama tke peuple of Panama revolted @nd the United States helped them. A satirlcally-named “Public Service Corporation’ has made a worse mesa of transit facilities in Jersey City than Colombia ever dared to do at Panama; the people there have revolted, and The Evening Wotld ts helping them. Jersey City has almost &s many people as the Republic of Panama; it is altogethor more important and its gelevances x more exasperating. A city of a quarter of a million inhabitants has a right to a modern street-car service, with comfortable, warm, well-ligiited cars, running at regular and frequent intervals. Jersey City has cars that run when the com- pany happens to feel like it, and that depend.for warmth on the summer sun. The Evening World has undertaken to see whether this condition {s incurable, or whether @ resolute city government backed by public opinion can administer a remedy. ; POISE RMIT TTOCEES ‘FOR HEALTH AND COMFORT. Great things and little things are sometimes eurpris- {ingly connected. The appalling increase in the number of deaths from pneumonia and similar diseases in New York is a great thing. The new rule of the Metropolitan requiring cars to stop at the near side of the crossings; “may seem a little thing. Yet that rule means that every passenger who gets on or off a car by the rear platform ‘will have to walk twenty-five or thirty feet to a crossing, and if that walk happens to be through mud or icy slush it means to a mathematical certainty that a definite per- centage of the millions of passengors will have grip, bronchitis or pneumonia. The Metropolitan cars carry | hundreds of milions of people a year, and the effects of | ? such gondition will be clearly discernible in the death- rato unless we take precautions in time. » Fortunately there ie no uncertainty about the right) % thing to be done. The Evening World has indicated It & in the ordinance it has proposed, requiring the railroad) « companies to keep the snow cleared gway from the| ¥ ftreets for at least one car-length from the crossings, If) > the companies fiud it mure convenient to themselves to| > land their passengers {un the etreets than on the crossings 4 provided by the city, it is only fair that they should pay PDS POPE POIDAD GOL IE $F 0G O8G9G0.G.6-9-9-.0-0:8:03.6-06. the cost of making the experiment tolerable. 2 Ghe Hirthday of Lincoln's Party.—the Democratic Na-| 3 tional Convention Ie to meet on the fiftieth anniversary | © ef the birth of tha Republican party.

A speaker before the Political Study Club won warm applause from her feminine audience by a scathing ex- position of man’s inferiority to woman in the training of children. “The idea,” she exclaimed, “of teaching a 5 seven-year-old child the effects of alcohol and narcotics | Bc and advanced cooking and sewing! Isn't that nonsense?” But does the fair oratrix forget that the liquor and tobaco part of the course in physiology was forced upon| ¢ ‘and that every attempt of the school officials to throw off the yoke is flercely resisted by the same body to-day?| © And, in her calmer moments, would she really saddle the| & en with all the blame for teaching cooking and sewing? bi 2 Sehwat nt School.—Mr. Schwab has been reading the) 2 papers of late, and has discovered at last that the Ship- Duliding ‘Trust is rently bankrupt, Perhaps after further| “ he may agree with Receiver Smith that {t is not] 3 solvent but an “artistic swindle." if THE DISFIGURING SIGNBOARD, Gov. Murphy, of New Jersey, has left the, beaten} path of executive messages by launching into an im- Passioned denunciativn of advertising signs along the Tailroads and urging a crusade against them. ‘New Jersey is a beautiful State,” he says, “with an at- “tractive and varied landscape. This is gradually being ‘shut out from the view of the traveller. On the leading Tine of railway between Jersey City and Trenton there “were in the early part of December, by actual count, | 2.601 signs. * * * If they continue to increase, it is difficult to imagine the day near at hand when the eller will have the hills and vales and trees and) ts ehut ont completely from view, and will pass fh a continuous and unbroken line of signboards ‘yitt trouble his nights and days with the. sugges- i things that are disegreeable.”, ing may consider this a small matter, but 8 Of the first importance, and other States Interested Init as New Jersey.
