The West Hoboken Councilmen seem to
have taken rather singular course in re-
gard to the case of Collector Anderson.
Last week they cited the Collector to
appear before them and show cause why
he should not be removed. Mr.. Anderson
very properly refused to appear and the
Board proceeded to remove him. Their
power to do this having been questioned
some of the Coucilmen justified their
action by saying that they had been advised
to take that course by the Town Counsel.
That gentleman explainsin the local paper
that he did not say that the Board had
power to remove Mr.. Anderson, but that if
they did remove him and it was after
courts would probably sustain their action.
Before such an opinion as this the world
must bow in admiration. There are two
laws bearing on this subject. One requires
that Mr.. Anderson should be impeached
before the Legislature, which body alone
has power to remove an officer elected by
the people. That the Town Counsel is
aware of this fact is shown by his. advice to
the Board. But there is another course
open to the town and that is to charge Mr..
Anderson with incorporation of the
town funds and cause his arrest. That
would be very effectual way of removing
him, but it is noticeable in this connection
that no one charges him with being de-
faulter. Now that he has been removed,
he is defaulter, what will the courts do
then, in the opinion of the Town Counsel
They would probably not only set aside
the action of Town Council that usurped
the functions of the Legislature, but they
might also find way to punish the
1surpers. Mr.. Anderson admits that he
has neglected to collect interest from poor
taxpayers and to that extent his accounts
are short. This he is ready to make good.
But the rest of the apparent deficit he
claims is due to errors and there is one
mistake of thousand dollars which we
are informed the authorities themselves
admit, which occurred in the transfer of
that amount from one account to another.
Another mistake in the published report is
that the deficit is 5000. As Mr.. Ander-
sons hold $4,000 in bank against this the
actual or apparent deficit is only 1000.
But how could even that amount be taken
out of the collections of town like West
Hoboken without detection tor so many
years and without preventing the town
from meeting its obligations? Bat it is adj
mitted that every department has received
every dollar of its appropriations and every
obligation has been met. Does the town
tax its people SO far in excess Of its needs
as this condition of affairs would seem to
Indicate?

The long expected Arcade fire came at
last though it did not originate on that
property. But the flames early seized
hold upon it, and now nothing is left of
the more dangerous buildings on the block.
Apart from the loss and inconvenience to
the poor tenants of the tenements de-
stroyed wholly or in part the fire may be
regarded as public blessing. Now let the
authorities see to it that only proper build
ings are erected on the burned district,
and then that portion will be as safe as any
other part Of the city. 1t is lucky thing
for other property owners and insurance
companies that the fire was kept down as
it was.

The verdict of the coroner's jury in the
Bunneil's crossing disaster, where three
persons were killed, censures the company.
But censure is cheap and avails nothing.
WHAT'S needed is verdict of five or ten
thousand dollars in each, case which would
probably induce all companies to place
gates at their crossings. That law to that
effect is needed is shown by the fact that a
similar accident caused the death of two
persons at Ridgefeld on Wednesday.

Now the New Jersey fishermen may fish
in peace with their Delaware brethren.
Hereafter a line drawn from the mouth OF
Cobansey creek due west to Bombay Hook
point will be the boundary. This is eleven
miles below the point hitherto in dispute,
and is to that extent gain for New Jersey
fishermen. This fight, which has been
going on for dozen years or more, and
which several times led to the verge of
bloodshed, is now settled, and will prob
ably stay settled; still it seems little GU
rious that one State may seek to prevent
the people of another State from fishing in
a river which forms their common boun-
Diary, under grant given by authority of a
government which the Colonies declared
their independence of more than century
ago. But perhaps it is as well that prop
erty rights of all descriptions should be
protected in every way possible.

That man can be driven from his home
by gang OF hoodlums in city like this
seems rather strange, but such a thing hap
pened the other night up in Lundy's lane,
a not very well known section of the
Heights. The unfortunate man who was
so badly worsted in this second "Battle of
Lundy's Lane 7" did not inform the police
until next day, when, of course, it was
too late to find the perpetrators of the out
rage, but the police might look after all
hoodlums in that neighborhood on general
principles. There is too much 'sgang
rule in all cities, and the sooner these
gangs are broken up everywhere the better
for the peace of the communities in which
they ply their trade, which is ruffianism
and theft.

The fire of Wednesday night brings re-
grets that. to paraphrase very conventional
quotation, it did not go further and do
worse. 1t was very wicked of it to stop
short of entirely sweeping away the dis
graceful little rookeries that serve for
places of business at the lower end of New
ark avenue, and it was positive outrage
for it to blaze right up to the doors of the
filthy Italian quarters and then leave them
unscorched. If the fire had known its
duty and had had the courage to perform
it. it would have wiped out both these eye
sores.

abandoned the good rule with which it

We can give them safe rule to go by,

it has been flched from some of its ex-

Desires One Too.

The Burlington Uowa) Gazette. in urg-
ing the necessity of a public slaughter
house or abattoir regulated and operated
under the supervision of the city, says:
For number of years the people OF
Burlington have been protesting against
the practice of Strengthening in the city,
and offenders have been occasionally pun
ished therefor. Sometimes during the hot
season the stencil arising from this cause
is extremely disagreeable, if not detrmen-
tai to public health, and has caused much
criticism of the laws and ordinances,
which do not seem to be effective enough
to suppress the nuisance. What we need
is an abattoir, or public Strengthening
house, located below the city, on the
river. where this offensive work can be
conducted without creating public nui-
sancc. At Rock Island the public abat
built and owned by the city, at an expense
of $1,000, for the accommodation OF
butchers aid to insure a supply of clean
and healthy meat, began its usefulness or
Wednesday afternoon. All the meat Of,
fered for sale in Rock Island must be OF
animals inspected and slaughtered IN the
abatloir, else there is condemnation of the
meat and fine or imprisonment of the sell
Ter The abattoir is located upon two
acres of ground donated for the purpose
by Hon. Bailey Davenport, in the western
limits of the city, fronting on the Missis-
sippi river.
