The Journal thinks it is a good scheme
to save few pennies by holding elections
in engine houses and at Fire Headquarters.
1t may be good scheme for the men who
are manipulating the Republican canvass,
but it isn't good for the people. We don't
want fire interference with the suffrage
any more than we want police interior
ence. Public places filed with partisans
of one stripe are good places to keep the
election boxes away from. The less OPP
portunity the public servants have of
making themselves public bosses the freer
will be the expression of public sentiment
A few dollars count as nothing against a
free ballot. ss s

Now that Senalor Griggs has, by the
grace of the Hon. Garry Hobart, secured
a denomination, we have no doubt he will
go all over the district, shouting anti
monopoly, and pointing to the new rail
road tax laws as the proof of his sympathy
with the equal taxation movement. He
won't stop to remind his constituents that
his rosy faced predecessor in office, who
made him all be is is one of the foremost
railroad men in the State, and he will
doubtless forget to mention that his rail-
road tax scheme was formulated especially
to serve railroad interests, or that, before it
had been made even as servicable as it is,
it was remodelled aud rebuilt by others
more in sympathy with the people than
with the corporations.

An article in a recent issue Of the j Jersey
City Herald, prepared doubtless by Judge
Allan L. McDermott, shows one of the
points in the new railroad tax laws, where
The railroads seem to have got in their fine
work. The article republishes provision
of the tax laws making it the duty of the
State Board of Assessors to accept the
assessors valuations of surrounding prop
erty as their guide in determining the
value of railroad real estate. This clause
was doubtless inserted at the instance of
willy railroad men, who know that through
out the State, the assessors purchase their
popularity their elections, too-by
keeping the valuations of the property of
voting taxpayers down to the very lowest
possible figure. In its certiorari proceed
ings, brought to defeat by the enforce
ment of the new railroad tax laws, the
Central Railroad Company practically
rests its case, as the reports in the SUNDAY
TATTLER have shown, upon the valuations
OF the local assessors; and in doing so the
company is doubtlessly seeking the shelter
of this proviso in the tax laws The State
experts-and the State Board of Assessors,
too-have paid little attention to the valu-
atoms fixed by the assessors upon con-
tiguous property, but have, by careful
comparisons of deeds, ascertained the
actual value of such property, and based
their estimates upon that. In the article
in the, Jersey City Herald, it issaid, with
perfect truth, that an absolute compliance
with the clause referred to is beyond the
line of possibility; that hardly any two
assessors in the State agree on the basis of
their assessments; that in many places
there are as many standards of valuation
as there are streets; that niue-tenths of
the assessors are possessed of the belief
that it is their privilege to aid friends and
punish enemies and that their decisions
upon the value Of property are arrived at
by contemplation of the owner. That is
good statement Of the facts The inca
pacity sometimes and in other instances
the dishonesty of the local assessors and
the variations in the manner and bases of
their assessments are so notorious as to be
beyond dispute. Some change is impera-
lively demanded, and Judge Med
If be is the author of the article in the
Herald -seems to favor the enactment of
such a law as Assemblyman Corbin pres
ented to the Legislature last winter. y

About Horse Racing.

In his charge to the Monmouth County
grand jurors, last Tuesday, Judge Scudder
called attention to the Long Branch gam
ing dens and instructed them TO indict all
such places as nuisances. He spoke few
vigorous words too upon the subject of the
Monmouth Park race pools; and then
made a dead set upon the race courses
right to existence. The association claims
title to its privilege, the Judge says, under
the proviso that the law against horse
racing shall not apply to fairs or exhibit
tons of any agricultural or or other incor-
porated society. The Judge adds that in
1866, the act Incorporating the Long
Branch and Sea Shore improvement Com
pany was passed. This company has for
one of its objects the improvement of blood
ed stock, and the act permits it to hold
fairs and exhibitions, offer premiums, etc.

to which my attention has not been called, am

The truth of it is that q horse race is not
of itself, harmful. Attempts to suppress
it are puritanical, SAVIOR of blue law rigor
and are behind the age. The modern ides
is one of the largest possible individual
liberty; and the old-time notion that {
healthful or even a harmless diversion
should be sat down upon, because of the
abuses it might be subjected to, is fast be
coming obsolete. The witty Sidney Smith
said century ago, that the doctrine thai
there should be no wine because of drunk
enness meant, if carried out to it logica
conclusion, that there should be no eating
because of gluttony; nor any use of any
kind because of abuse.

CENTRAL AMERICA.

Revolutionary Movement in Hon.
duras-CuttinE the Cables.
Washington, March 2S-Information
has been received here to-day to the
effect that movement is on foot tc
overthrow the government of Honduras
and to form an alliance of the people OF
that country with the people of Mic.
aragua, Costa Rica and San Salvador,
against Gen. Barrios. The movement is
reported to have originated with Marco
Anrelio Soto, former president of Hon
duras, now in New York city. Since
Barrios' announcement of his intention
to make himself supreme military chief
Of the Central American states Soto is
said to have been quietly at work try
ing to break the alliance of Honduras
with Guatemala. His negotiations have
been carried on through general of the
former country with whom he has init.
mate acquaintance. The people Of Hon
duras, it is understood, are opposed to
Barrios and are only waiting for an op.
portunity to break away from him.
They are therefore willing to Join the
forces of the Nicaraguan government to
overthrow their own present govern.
nent The Nicaraguan forces, it is as.
serted, will number 5000 or more, and
will cross the border line of Honduras
and aid in the revolution. With this
addition of opponents to Barrios in
Honduras, it is said an army of 5000
men can be raised by the states which
are allied in resistance to the preten.
sions OF the president, Gnatamala.-----

Office seekers appeared at tho white
house and stated their case in about the
same way as the other. They were
democrats, and had agreed among them
selves who should have certain Offices,
the terms of the incumbents of which
would not expire for some time. Mr..
Cleveland heard them through and then
said: II don't see anything between

To democrat, who was unfortunate in
his demand for certain Office now held
by Q republican widely known for his
ability and faithfulness, the president,
after listening for the third time to the
story, said: "You just bring me the
charges on which the incumbent can

President Cleveland has again dlsap-
pointed his democratic advisers in the
re.appointment of Postmaster Pearson,
of New York. Mr.. Pearson is repub.
llcan and the democrats, of New York
city have earnestly desired his place, be.
cause it contains large amount OF
patronage. To show how mysterious
and past finding out are the ways of the
president, We quote the following Wash.
ington special OF March 29th:
A prominent democrat who has
talked with the president says that there
is no doubt that democrat will be ap
pointed to succeed Postmaster Pearson
he says. further, that the president
originally intended to re.appoint
Pearson, but that he has yielded finally
to the democratic opinion in New York
He says this is one instance where the
president has changed his opinion.
On the 3lst of March the president
reappointed Mr.. Pearson. The promi
nent democrat was wrong in his pre-
dictions, as great many prominent
democrats have been wrong since Mr.
Cleveland became president. Regard
ing the disposition of this case Wash
ington correspondent writes:
II Pearson be continued several thous.
and other republican officeholders may
be retained for similar reasons, and thus
the ong.sufering democrats would be
forced to remain on the outside of thu
promised land. The SUCCESSION to the
New York postoffice is, therefore, re
Rarded as q test case. The trouble
seems to be to find q democrat whose
appointment would be received Will

The Indications are that if there is
future objection in the senate to the
president's appointments it will come
from the democratic side. A senator
from one Of the gulf states says: "We
will be obliged to refuse confirmation
of some of Cleveland's appointments il
he and his cabinet continue refusing to
give any heed to our recommendations
It is little early for US to take that
step, but in several instances he hes ig-
nored entirely the preferences Of both
the senators and representatives, of our
state, even in regard to the appointment
of postmasters, and if he CONTINUES
to pursue the course We shall resent it.

in making successful democratic ad-
ministration, but We don't intend to cut
our own throate,"

Iroquois, March 30-Your correspon.
dent has ascertained the other side of
the Shetland Conlin affair, which oc-
cnrred at Vilae last Monday. Shetland
is pastor of the DeSmet Methodist
church. In 1863 and 1864 he was sta.
toned at Alexandria, D. T. DR.. Conlin
was his family physician there, being
quite skillful. Conlin is known as free
and easy in morals and reported to be
inclined to lead women astray. When
Shetland removed from Alexandra q
young lady of that place came with his
family and has since made her home
With them. She is in every way re-
spectacle and high toned. Conlin, al
though having family, had an
noyed her by his attenti ons, which
she persistently resented, and which
Shetland urged him, as friend and
neighbor, to desist from. At her de-
parture Conlln told her he was going up
to DeSmet some time to see her. She
told him he must not, and warned him
to behave himself. Conlin had written
several letters to her in the last siz
months urging her to write to him. She
did not answer one of them, but showed
them to her friends, with whom she lived.
Week before last she got letter urging
her to meet him at any place she chose
and they would go out of the territory
| and live together. This was at onoe
shown Shetland, who Immediately
answered for the girl. and appointed
Villas as the place OF meeting, tn,
date last Monday. On that date Snel
land, who is high-toned, chivalrouf
gentleman, was at the hotel at Villas al
the appointed time, accompanied by q
muscular friend. Conlin soon drove up
went into the hotel and at once asked
the landlord for the young lady. The
landlord had been made acquainted with
Shelland's errand, and when Conlln
made his inquiry for the lady Shetland
appeared and answered for her. Conlir
wanted to retreat and 70 home. The
muscular friend suggested that he
tarry awhile. The parties went up
stairs, and when they returned Shell
land had written pledge from Conlin
that he would not trouble the girl any
further. Conlin went before the grand
|ju1y, who heard only his story, ant
brought in an indictment against Shell
land. Court has adjourned until Sep
tember, and there can be no trial unit
then. Citizens of DeSmet, others from
Howard and the girls father, from Alex
andria, went on bail and released Shell
land. The girls father and brother ar,
