THE DAWSON RESOLUTION,

The Gazette publishes card for
Milton Elster, Journal Clerk Of the
Senate in which he claims that he
placed on the journals all which he
considered necessary of the Daw-
son Resolution, and the Gazette
adds:
1--WE suggest that the practice OF
allowing officers of the Senate to
use their discretion as to what
should be published and what sup
pressed is q very faulty one and
leaves them open to the suspicion
Of having listened to evil sugges-
tions from interested palties who
stop at nothing that will help them
to crawl into positions where they
can support themselves out Of the
State treasury"
The officers of Legislative bodies
have no discretion in the matter,
The law is imperitive. The con-
stitution (Art. 4, Sec. 14) requires
each House to keep journal Of its
own proceedings, which shall be
published. By act of 1881 (stst-
utes, p. ~ it is made the duty of
the Journal Clerk of the Senate to
record each days proceedings in
the Journal and the Minute Clerk
is required to keep correct record
Of each days proceedings for the
purpose Of having them recorded.
By another act Of the same year
(statute 1881. p. 147) provision is
made for the printing Of the journ-
ais and laws and that each volume
(of the laws) ''shall contain the
laws, resolutions and memorials
passed at each legislative session."
In Mr.. E!stners card he says:
1.-The original and printed journal
shows this Of the Dawson resolu-
ton. and. ia my judgment, all they
could or ought to show. without
some special order Of the Senate
By Mr.. Dennis Senate to the con-
current resolutions No. 3S, relative
fn tho nrooont manapamort IF the
Insane Asylum at Reno, etc.
Then comes the names of those
who voted and it leaves the reader
utterly in the dark as to whether
the vote condemned or sustained
the present management. The law
distinctly outlined Mr.. f stner's
course OF duty, which according to
his own acknowledgment was not
performed.

FAIRS CHARITY.

Every little while Senator Fair
gives thousand dollars or SO to
some worthy charity. and it always
finds its way into the newspapers.
His charity is not Of the kind that
his left hand knoweth not what his
right hand doeth. But still his
money does good when thus be-
slowed and we should be apprecia-
tive. Away back in history Robin
Hood and other noted lighwaymen
used to rob from the rich end give
to the poor and their names have
some down to Us surrounded with
many gallant gentlemanly traits,
because of this habit. It strikes US
that there is almost para lei in
Senator Fairs charity. The money
he gives in charity was received
largely from the jobs ond tricks
put up on the Comstock to get
mems money. True, he did not
go out on the lonely highway and
at the muzzle Of pistol demand
money. He would scorn to do
that. But when it came to levying
assessments, drowning out mines.
bulkheading ''iikely'' drifts. bull
ing or bearing stock, ETC., he had
u way about him which was far
more lucrative. It would make an
interesting little balance sheet to
have all Of Mr. Fairs little jobs put
on one side and all his charities on
the other. We fear the former
would be rather ahead. Still he
OBSERVERS credit for using some Of
his wealth aiding worthy objects
and the Revei!le would would be
the last to say ought against him
for it.-Austin Reveille.

BURLINGTON, Aug. 22.-The Enter.
prise, OF this place, to-day prints more
of the statement made oy Miss ella
Ames to its city edisor.She gives furth-
er facts about her employer, Mr.. William
Bunting, prominent shoe manufactur-
or. Miss Ames Is a pretty brunette,
with good figure and fascinating man
ners. She alleges that on Monday she
told Mr.. Mortimer Webb, the young
man with whom she has been cores
pending, Of her criminal relations 70
Bunting and her desire to do better.
A few minutes later Bunting came
in, and she exposed his brutality ana
tyranny to Webb, which caused bunt.
ing to make . slauderous statement
concerning her character. On Tuesday
Mr.. Bunting discharged Miss Ames and
cleared out the rest OF the family. 1t
was then that she attem pied suiciae.
The runors ON the Streets last nigh'
were that Bunting had given MISS
Ames two houses. 1t was uiscovere'',
on inquiry, that onlya small amount
had been paid on the property, and the
rest WAS mortgaged.
This money was saved from hei
weekly earnings, and had been regu
larly deposited In the Burlington sav'
inRs Bank, as the book clearly shows
The Enterprise has received letters fur
| nishing evidence against Bunting IL
other casts. The indignation is great
and the citizens lalked last night OF
tar and feathering him. Bunting IS
married man, and has family tina

A sh ameful Imposition.

A gentleman ON the newsboys' er-

was one, feeling the need of some
thing with which to refresh

Delaware Bay House, being attracted
by huge transparency bearing the In
scription A good dinner for so

Having paid the required 90 cents be-
fore entering the dining room, they
found that almost every dish, with the
exception OF stale bread, cold water,
tooth-pickg and butter strong enough b
to walk across the. room with little
assistance, were ten cents extra. While
the majority of the deluded victims
who went there with the expectation OF
procuring good dinner for 80 cents
paid over . dollar before they were
through, the two WilmiDgtonians re-
ferred to refused TO submit to the i'm
position and after having eaten their
till OF such things a. the place afforded

walters speechless with rage and morti.

travelled before, aud who would not sub

TRENTON. Aug. 22.-When Edward
r. Mcdonald, of Jersey City, was
nominated for elector In the Hudson
County caucus, before the Democratic
Convention on Wednesday, he was op-
posed on the ground that he " as against
Cleveland. His advocates denied this,
and after bitter fight he rec-ived the
caucus nomination, which was ratified
by the Convention. Yesterday he said
TO a reporter |" shall not take the
nomination ~ elector. am against
Cleveland ana for Butler"
In referring to this edttorially the
Jersey City Argus, a Cleveland Demo
cratic paper, says: i" 1t Is 10 be regretted
that he was not consulted before such
action was taken. Mr.. Mcdonald has
been bounded down by the hoodlum

machine in this county, and, like a
good many others representative Demo-
crats, he will take no active interest in
the canvas Of the party until this cor

The State Committee will have to fill
the vacancy. Mr.. Mcdonald Is popu-
lar and influential among Hudson
County Democrats, and his detection Ii
a serious blow to them. A Prominen,
IrishmAn In Trenton said yesterday
"All OF us ere, except those who have

HANDSOME STORE


This morning Mccartney, Kenny
b Co. opened their new carpet and fur
niture store at the north west corner of
Fifth and Shipley streets, TO the public.
The building, which was formerly the
residence of 4. l.. Rice, has been
almost rebuilt, and the interior ar
ranged especially for the firm that now
occupy 1t.
A handsome frent has been put In,
with a show window on the corner as
large ~ an ordinary room, and another
on Sblpley street north of the door.
The first floor Is devoted to carpets, and
the firm has purchased one OF the
largest and best selected stocks Of these
goods ever brought to this city, ranging
from the finest Wilton and velvet
tapestry down to the oid-fsshioned rag
carpet. They also have large stock
of rugs, curtains, lambrequins and
window shades in this room, which IL
80 arranged that the pattern OF carpet
can be sven without removing the roll
from the shelves.
Upon ascending a short and easy
flight of steps the oil cloth room Is
reached, where all widths and qualities
are kept in stock. The front room on
the second floor is used for fine furni-
ture, and here can be found cham Der
snits, wardrobes, sidsboards, dressing
cases and writing desks of all style, and
finish.
In the rear of this room there is an
apartment used rs a sales and show
room for fine upholstered furniture, of
which there is quite large stock on
haad. The front part, and also the
rear Of the third floor are used as work
rooms, while the remainder Is used for
storing furniture and mattings.
The basement Ia also filled with fur.
niture, consisting of cottage sets and
other low priced goods. The place is
one Of the finest Of the kind in this city,
and the stock Of furniture and carpets
cannot he excelled, and are equalled by
but few in the large cities. The firm
had carried on business for some time
on Market street above Eighth, but the
Increase in their business during ths
past year has been 30 great, that they
were obliged to seek larger place. This
is not to be wondered at, when 1t i.
known that two of the members Of the
firm enjoy the reputation OF beinl
among the best upholsterers Ia thi.
country, and that a. they personally
superintend all work entrusted to them
they are enabled to guarantee satisfao
ttion in every case.
The old residence does not have tn,
slightest resemblance to what 1t was
few short months ago, and the mechanic
who contracted to do the work hav,
done 1t efficiently and we'll. The re-
building, alterations and addition.
were done by Patrick Dunn the paint
ing and vanishing by Richard Kelley
Clark & Huber aud Harding ~ Bucher;
the gas fixtures were furnished and pu
in place, and the plumbing done by J
Il. Traynor; the marble work by job u
Malone, and the papering and decora
ii on work by Ball Il Co.
| Although the formal opening did no
take place until this morning, the firm
did large business yesterday. Al
Invitation is extended TO the public Il
cali this evening, and inspect the hand
some store and large stock Of goods.

For some time past there has existed
considerable petty jealousy In the
German School Board. Just what
caused or causes the Jealousy Is best
known to the members themselves.
Less than year ago when Prof. s.
Burkhsrdt was called from New York
to take charge Of the school 1t WAS not
In . very prosperous condition, but
under his able and sagacious manage
meut, the attendance Of scholars soon
began TO increase until vacation when
there were hfty fve scholars.
This was considered very good among
the promoters of the enterprise, ard Mr..
Burkhardt WAS congratulated by the
parents of the children upon the great
progress they had made In their stu
dies.
This state of affairs was not permitted
to remain long, for very unexpectedly
the Jealousy that had shown Itself not
larger than q mans hand, soon spread
until at a meeting held short time ago
Mr.. Burkhardt's enofnie after packing
the meeting, carried \ motion 70 the
effect that Mr.. Burkhardt must furnish
an explanation or send In his resigna.
ton. A certain member was appoint
W NIL DuI vi ttiS ht-
tion fthe meeting.
This he failed to do, but on the con-
trary met Mr.. Burkhardt on the next
meeting night and told him not 10
worry over the action of the board as
he (BurkhardD would undoubtedly be
re- elected as teacher of the school.
When the board met, the member In
question with few others, voted for n
Oh s,, x,k,x.
Of the school Mr.. Burkhardt felt very
much, and justly 80. incensed over the
action of the board mot the
fact that he presented to that body a
petition signed by parents representing
thirty-three children, and the whole
Number could have been obtained II
peti tion was read 1t was characterized
by a member as unfit for notice.
The friends of Mr.. Burkhardt, after
sue treatment, do nou intend to let the
matter rest, ard in order to show his
jealous friends in the German school
that they cannot down him, has rented
the large aud we'll ventilated room, for
merly occupied as the school room, ir
Central Presbyterian church, and will
place desks and ali the necessary schoo
furniture therein. Mr.. Burkhardt will
open a school there in September. HI
has already secured the names of forty
five ohildreo for his opening day. Mr.
Bnrkhard, like Banquo's ghost, I" will
not down." but IL looks very much al
though he would down the German
School Board, or force them to recog
nizs him with some degree of respect
His friends are determined to stand b,
him.
