She then went on to tell of some Of the
petty prosecutions which have been re.
sorted to in order to induce her TO resign,
as her term Of office will not expire FOR
two years When her husband was given
the position the allowance consisted Of
forty cents day for each prisoner, fifty
cents for each sick person, twenty-five
cents for every communal, and twelve
and half cents for every discharge. The
daily allowance had been cut down from
forty to twenty-five cents, and all the
other allowances had been entirely done
away with. She is, therefore, at this
moment running that jail on twenty live
cents day for each prisoner. Out of
this sum she must pay for food, salaries
of assistant jailers, &c, wages OF servants,
and even the furniture Of the place.

From the New York Sunday Era,


Mrs. Ericker c. Jones, for four years
and half warden of the Hudson county
Jail, is probably the only woman in the
world who holds such position. Some
seven years ago her husband obtained the
appointment Of jsiler at this institution
and moved to il with his bride. After
two years Mr.. Jones was stricken down
with soitening Of the brain, which re-
duced him 10 a condition Of idiocy for
six months before his death. When at
last this occurred, by unanimous vote Of
the Board Of Freeholders the woman who
had really performed the duties Of jailer
was appointed warden. An attempt to
GUST her from the position was made last
fall, when politicians wanted the place,
and appealed to Attorney General Van.

the lady's claims.

there were in Jail three desperate crimi.

The Financial Problem.
Especial Dispatch to Chicago Tribune. j

Especial Dispatch TO Chicago Tribnne.i
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 23.-Now
that the leaders of both parties in the
House OF Representatives are fully con-
WINGED that neither without the aid Of
the other can pass currency bill Of any
kind which will either bring relief to the
PROSTATE business of the country. tend to
restore lost confidence, strengthen either
party with the people, or remove the
vexed question from politics during the
coming Presidential campaign, a stronger
disposition than has ever before been
manifested is now shown to make one
earnest, honest effort to take the ques.
ton out Of politics, and to unite the
best men on both sides of
the House in support Of some simple but
effective measure. The leaders in such
movement are very naturally and prop.
erly such liberal Republicans as Profess
sor Seelye, f. Chittenden, Willis and 9TH
ers. They have very little interest and
take no part in the petty partisan strife
which occupies so much of the time Of
those holding less Independent positions,
and their prominent connection with any
movement of this kind is less likely to
excite jealousy and party feeling than if
it was championed by the recognized lead.
ers Of either party.
rdE PLAN
they have suggested is a very simple one.
Ii is to re-enact the law allowing the
holders of United States notes in sums Of
$50, or any multiple thereof, to fund
them at their own option into gold bond,
bearing interest at the rate Of 4 per cent,
and payable after thirty or forty years.
All notes thus funded, the bill will pro.
vide, shall be cancelled and DESTROYED,
and shall never be relssued. 1t has not
been determined whether this PROPOSE.
ton shall be accompanied with the re.
peal of any part Of the resumption act
of 1875 or not, but it is prob.
| able that if it would be
likely to receive more support in the
House if coupled with a repeal of that
clause Of the act fixing January |, 1879,
as the time Of resumption no great objec-
tion would be made to such a PROPOSE.
ton. The Democratic leaders to whom
this plan has been submitted have shown
very commendable disposition to treat
the subject
IN A YoN-PARTIsAN SPIRIT.
Speaker Kerr is understood to have
promised it his support, and Morrison has
expressed himself as much pleased with
the plan. After some consultation with
representative men on his side Of the
House, no has come to the conclusion
that bill containing the features indi.
Gated would receive at least sixty Demo.
cratic votes. II the Republican party
| could be rallied to general support Of
it, 1t could be passed. In order to pro.
mote such harmony, as every one now
admits is necessary to secure the passage
of any desirable measure affecting the
currency, meeting Of some of the most
influential men Of both parties with the
leading Liberal Republicans will be held
within few days, and those who have
taken the most interest in the movement
hope at that time to arrive at an under.
standing which will result in the accom-.
plishment Of that which neither partv
can do alone.
