SUNDAY. MAY 10. 1885,
rne seneme Of shs sunaax Tattler.

The SUNDAY TATTLER is so widely read
nowadays that il seems unnecessary to
state its scheme. But we want it under
stood that, though it is published only on
Sunday mornings, it is not aoeetly paper in
any sense Of the term. A weekly gathers
up the news of the week, whether it has
been published or not. The purpose of
the SUNDAY TATTLER is not, as every one
who reads it must know by this time, to
rehash the doings of the week, but only to
present the latest and fullest local news
We take it for granted that the people of
this community do not desire to read again
in these columns the stories they have
already read in the local papers. and we
are SO careful to avoid repeating what the
other papers have already had that we have
not heretofore published the Saturdays
news that has found its way into the Satur-
day afternoon local newspapers. Our de-
sign has been to make the TATTLER just
what Sunday morning journal or Argus
would be if either published a Sunday
morning edition. Only we make up ten
times better sheet than either of them
knows how to make. Our Sunday morning
paper is supplement to the daily local
prints-a daily paper that fills the Sunday
morning gap. The TArrLER begins to
scour the county for news on Saturday
afternoon, and keeps up its yigils till one
o'clock Sunday morning. Besides the
latest and fullest local news, we are sup
piled with the latest Geographic news, and
are in every respect as complete Sunday
morning newspaper as either of the great
metropolitan newspapers printed across
the river. 1t sometimes happens that we
s'beat" the New York morning papers on
their own stamping ground. The convic-
ton of Bank President Fish, in New York,
was reported in the SUNDAY TATTLER two
weeks ago. With the exception of the
New York Times, the New York papers
gave that fact to their readers on the Mon
day morning following. Those who have
read this paper know that never Sunday
passes that we do not beat the daily local
papers on matters of iterest happening dur
ing the week. In addition to this complete
and thorough Sunday morning news SER
vice. we give special attention to all society,
sporting, social and church news; and we
ask our readers to send us as many notices
of the kind as possible.

Some time ago the TArTLER warned the
volunteer firemen of Hoboken that they
were furnishing arguments for the estab-
lishment of paid department. Last Sun
day they seem to have outdone themselves
in the way of rowdyism and to have left
the city no choice but to set them aside
and organize department upon the same
basis as that of Jersey City. 1t is undenia-
BILE that volunteer fremen do good work
generally and do it without pay, and there
fore they are entitled to the public thanks.
But there is a rowdy element in all cities
that attaches itself to the fire department,
and which frequently gets the upper hand,
and for the misdeeds of this element the
good men have to suffer. Some of these

The Hoboken fremen put another wea-
pom into Mayor Timken's hands on Tues
day when all the department save two
companies refusdd to do duty. Insubordin-
alton is an offense that cannot be tolerated
in any department of government and
Mayor Thinker can now scarcely fail to OBJ
tain the reform he is SO DESTROYS of securs
ing and in which the people of his city
should warmly second him.

The annual message of Mayor Collins to
the Common Council is comparatively
brief document, considering its Importance,
and citizens who want to know how the
city stands financially and otherwise
should read it. They will get considerable
information as 10 the manner of cleaning
the streets and the reasons why the work
has not been more thoroughly done. The
new system is not yet working smoothly.
Mayor Collins expects satisfactory service.
The message also treats of the various de-
partments of the city government, and his
remarks will be found intelligent, concise,
and instructive. The review of the work
of charter reform is timely and will be of
service to all those who are interested in
that subject-which must include every
citizen who cares how he is governed. We
agree with Mayor Collins that the present
system is an absurdity. We thought that
long ago, but the question, how to get rid
of this absurdity, has never been answer
ed Mayor Collins also draws attention to.
another absurdity, He says the law of
1877 making the Boards elective conflicts
with the Constitution, according to the de-
cision in the case of Van Ripper VS.. Par
sons. This would simply return the gov
eminent to Legislative Commissions.
But in 1878 the Legislature passed gen.
eral law abolishing all Legislative Com
missions, and that will stand; therefore.
as Mayor Collins very truly says, the
Boards of Works, Fire and Police only ex-
list by sufferance. The courts have already
had their attention drawn to the matter,
but refused to open the question because
as the Legislature had provided no substi-
tute for the Boards thus inadvertently
abolished, chaos would result. This may
not have been strict law, but it was first
class common sense. The Mayors exposi-
ton shows very clearly what farce our
system of government is and what asses a
series of country Legislators can make of
themselves when they go to tinkering at
the charter of city concerning whose
needs they know nothing and care less,
being only actuated by desire to put the
plumber into the hands of the party they
belong to. The scheme of government
submitted by Mayor Collins is good one,
but the difficulty still remains how shall
we get it adopted? Our only hope is
Democratic Legislature his scheme is
Democratic, though he is a Republican
and even with Democratic Legislature,
the law would have to be made general in
its application and that might unite adj
verse interests which would defeat it even
then.

There is no danger that the 'Strelock"
and s'Garnet" will fght-eyen in the event
OF warm this port, or anywhere near it.
They cannot fight anywhere within
marine leauge of the coast, and they will
probably want more sea room than that
even. Should war be declared while they
are here, it will be tn duty of the United
States to order them both out of port-but
the one left behind by her rival must then
be detained by the United States just
twenty -four hours. This is the law on the
subject, and it will probably be faithfully
carried out; SO there is no danger that we
shall witness the much talked of s'duel"
between the sstrelock" and "Garnet.'

The Jersey City Baseball Club is making
good record for itself. 1t has already
won several games, some of them against
opponents who stand high in the baseball
world. If the Jersey City goes on as it has
begun, the end of the season will find it
with record that not few of the older
clubs will hunger for in vain.

Newark sent out last week temperance
lecture that for horror and force has sell
dom been equaled. We allude to the Gil
christ case, in which woman crazy from
drink chopped her infants head to pieces,
and would have killed two others of her
children had they not secured safety by
fight The woman was crazy at the time,
undoubtedly, but it was the insanity of
drink and not of ordinary mental disturb
ance. Mrs. Gllchrist can scarcely be con-
victed of murder-it would probably be
unjust to SO convict even were possible
but such woman should certainly be put
out of harms way and also out of the way
of rum, since she cannot control her appe-
tite. 1t would have been better if her
husband had long ago sent her to an inc
briate asylum, but he probably hoped,
though it was against hope, that she would
reform. Well, drunkards do reform-but
it is only about as often as the stars fall.

The public will be pleased to learn that
the home for friendless girls established by
the Nun of Kenmsre at Grove and Bright
streets is in thriving condition. She is
assisted by four other nuns and additional
aid will be installed as needed. There is
always room for such institutions in all
cities and if there were more of them it
would be better. Mother Glare expects
to have one hundred girls and young wo-
men in the home this Summer. She
should be aided by the public in every
way possible and those who have money
to bestow upon deserving charities should
not forget this. The good that Mother
Glare has done in her peculiar field has
rarely been equaled. Visitors who desire to
personally interest themselves in the work
will be cordially received at the home any
day from 10 A. M. to 10 NJ, and from 2:20
to $50 P. M. People whose business pre-
vents them calling during the hours speci-
fed will be received from to P. M,
The object is to take young girls who have
no home and train them to become domes-
tics, and also to fit them to become wives
and mothers. Either of these works is of
vast Importance to the society of the fu-
ture and the public cannot aid such work
too generously nor make it too extensive.
Mother Glare has already established a
number of these homes in Ireland and
England and more are to follow in this
country

The prompt manner in which the new
Board of Freeholders organized on Tues
day is an augury of an equally prompt and
faithful discharge of the county business.
The re election of Messrs. Lippincott and
Kelly is deserved recognition of their SER
vices during the time they have been in
Office. Concerning the election of Mr..
Hugh Dugan as County Collector, it was
only what might have been expected in the
face of SO large Democratic majority and
is one of those changes that politicians
must always be prepared for-as Collector
Farrier probably was. Mr.. Dugan
is well known merchant of this
city and will, without question, dis
charge the duties of his new posi-
ton to the interests of the County and the
satisfaction of the public. 'sJoe" Noonan
is the new Clerk, and may plume himself
on the additional fact that he is about the
first newspaper man in Hudson who was
ever rewarded with County office. News
paper men are only considered valuable,
as general thing, when somebody else is
looking for an Office. And beside that,
their proverbial modesty generally keeps
them in the background. We always
thought "Joe" could overcome this diff
Guilty if he were given chance and be

that he will make an efficient Clerk and
we expect to see him justify this opinion
also.

The power Of beer was singuIarly Illus
trated in Trenton the other day. Ale
casks have been known to explode before
with force akin to dynamite, but this ex-
plosion was of different sort Special
officer thurman, of the Pennsylvania de-
pot, took offense at practical joke played
upon him in saloon on that day, and in
revenge he reported the place as being
open on Sunday. This made the Brewers
Association mad and they informed the
Company that unless Zurman were re
moved they would have their beer shipped
over the other road. As the freightage
amounts to about 5000 week, thurman
has been requested to report at the Com
pany's Office in this city and explain his
conduct. His explanation can hardly be
acceptable and the probabilities are that
Zurman will be hoisted by beer. "Bock"
will unquestionably elevate man, but
zurmod's experience will not be of that
sort.
The meeting of the new Board of Edu-
cation was revelation In the way OF de-
cency and order and it must have astonish-
ed John Boyd and Ben. Van Ripper to sit
in the lobby and look upon such orderly
proceedings. No wonder they thought it
wasn't the Board of Education and wanted
a quo aoarranto to kick up Robbery with.
But the decent public will sustain the new
Board as it sustained the new law and
thank heaven it is not of the old bear gar
den business. With the gentlemen Sc
lected by Mayor Collins, educationIwilI now
have fair chance, and jobbery will be
left out in the cold. And by the way,
talking of jobbery and cold, now let us see
what it will cost the new Board to coal the
schools as against what it cost the old
Board. We shouldn't be surprised if
enough were saved on that account to pay
the expenses of one school-perhaps
more

rowdies are actual thieves and go to fires
simply for the purpose Of plying their
trade. For these also the honest tremen
have to suffer, and although they may not
like the idea, it is for their own good that
paid department should be established.
The departments of New York, Jersey
City and Brooklyn are models and are
cheaper In the long run than any volunteer
department could possibly be and now
that, in this State. at least, such machines"
are measurably removed from politics
there can be no objection to them. That
the rowdyism of last Sunday was greatly
exaggerated was matter of course-all
such things are added to in the course of
repitition-there was no hose cut but
enough was done, and the scenes were
sufficiently disgraeeful, to warrant Mayor
Timken in recommending the Aldermen to
establish paid department His message
has not yet been read but we understand
that he has embodied such recommends
ton in his forthcoming message and that
as soon as the Board organizes, it will be
called upon to consider the proposition.
Possibly there may be sufficient influence
brought to bear upon the present Board to
prevent the adoption of the measure, but
the good sense of the Hoboken people
should impel them to enforce this reform
at the earliest possible moment. Volun-
teer departments in all large cities carry
with them an amount of evil that vastly
outweighs the good they accomplish, and
the punishment for which falls Jpn the
good and efficient citizens who do their
duty as fremen only to become scape-
goa for the evil deeds of rabble of
''camp followers" who can ouly be shut
out by the strong hand of the law.

Mayor Timken viii hardly succeed in
compelling the Hoboken Aldermen to or
ganize That is beyond his province un-
less the Board chooses to submit to his
dictation, and of that there is little proba-
bility. He can, of course, call special
meetings, but beyond that he is powerless.
His best course is to let the Board go its
own gait. Public disgust may accomplish
what he cannot.
