THE JERSEY REFORM MOVEMENT,

Meeting of the Citizens Reform Association
Of Jersey City-Unanimous Outcry Against
Commissions.
The Citizens Reform Association OF Jersey City
held meeting az Washington Hall last evening,

ported progress lie had been to Trenton and
had an interview with Senator Mcpherson, VINO is
heartily IN accord with the reform movement. He
also reported that in his interviews with several
members OF the LEGISLATURE he found them prepared
for amendments TO the Jersey CITY charter. They
appc AIRED to have al last arrived at the conclusion
That municipal government by commissions was
played out.
Mr.. Smith Mead hoped that In the amendments
provisions would be made TO have the Assessors
elected by the people instead or having them the
creatures OF the men who spend the money and
whose VIII they must carry out.
Mr.. Fleming quoted from recent number OF o
law magazine decision OF the Michigan supreme
Court, declaring that the Legislature had 10 consti-
tutional power to appoint q municipal commission
for the CITY OF Detroit The decision embodies
some interesting historical facts. As far Dack
200 years ago the people OF MASSACHUSETTS and New
Jersey resisted the attempts OF the colonial Cover
nors to govern municipalities by agents appointed

New Jersey fastened upon the people tne odioua

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
We learn through the HERALD OF January 81 that
the merchants Of Baltimore are rushing bill
through their state Legislature 70 prevent the sale
of goods in their city State by travellers from
other cities and States. They do go in face
of the recent unanimous decision OF the
Judges OF the United States supreme Court
that their former Chinese law was unconstitutional.
The advocates OF the measure admit its unconsti-
tutiona nature but look for three years OF its use,
as it is supposed to take that time to test it.
All citizens should be interested in redress
ing the wrongs OF any class OF citizens.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we commercial travellers
can readily show that we are an economy
to trade, and should be protected In our rights.
There Is no country In the world where goods are
sold on smaller margins above cost for profit and
expense than in Great Britain. Fournths OF all
the goods sold on the three islands' to deal
ers are sold by commercial travellers, and
there You have practical test OF the
system. The reason Is that the traveller multiplles
the house. therefore smaller profits Will sustain IL.
This being the case, consumers and users OF goods
should be Interested In the freedom OF trade within
our own country. II Maryland were foreign State
we would have nothing to say; but as II claims to

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE IN ELIZABETH.


Dts>tputcu woman FROZEN to Death.
There ia considerable excitement In Elizabeth.
N j., over the rather singular fate Of an unfortunate
widow named Mrs. Hannah Lyons. She was
found dead In her house on Magnolia
avenue, with demijohn partly filled with
whiskey alongside OF her. She was only partially
clothed and was about thirty five years OF age and
rather well looking In appearance. DR.. BOrann's
impression Is that while under the influence of
liquor she dropped on the floor, the IRE went out
and she was frozen to death. An inquest was held
yesterday by Coroner 0ibDs and q verdict rendered
In accordance with the facts. Deceased was worth
over thousand dollars, She led disslpated lie.
