There are intimaiions from Trenton
that the absurd police and fire life tenure
act IS about to be set aside as unconstitu-
tional. 1t was taken up to the-Courts by
some New Brunswick people who had &C.
casion to test its legal worth. We do not
care much on what grounds it is taken off
the statute books, providing it is taken off.
If it is legal-and the promised Supreme
Court decision is 10 the effect that it is not
legal-it should be set aside because it is
wrong IN application. When the police
and fire departments throughout the State
are selected because of the efficiency of
the men who compose them, it will be all
right to give them life tenure;s but the
legislation of lot of hoodlums and in
competents, and scapegraces into perma-
nent possession of these places is an act
of such supreme folly that we did not
believe any court in the land would sus-
tain it. 1t is reform and civil service.
standing on their heads. Its only practi-
cal result here has been TO enable lot of
police captains, who are not, as rule,
worth the salary they had been receiving, to
"bilk the city treasury for higher pay.
Let the act be wiped out. aa

The trial of Captain Jenny Wilson, of
the Salvation Army in Elizabeth, for
bigamy resulted just as it might have been
expected to result. The woman is as
vicious as woman can well be; and she
attempted no more serious defence than
that of furnishing the jurors a peg to
hang an acquittal upon; but her two hus-
bands cut such contemplate figures upon
the witness stand and all through the
case, that even If Jennie had been less
pretty than she IS, her acquittal would
probably have been declared. She led
such dogs life with her Vermont husband
that the jury could not find it in their
hearts to blame her for leaving him; and
the jury seemed to take the view, as to the
second husband, that he had married her
for a convenience with a full knowledge
of her previous marriage, and with the
preconceived design OF pushing her for
bigamy when he tired of her, and that he
was entitled TO no more sympathy than
the first husband. His appearance and
manner justify the suspicion that hew would
be mean enough to lend himself to so con-
temptible scheme. if he had the capacity
to conceive it; but the assumption gives
him credit for good deal more brains
than he seems to have. He must have
known Captain Jennie's character when
be married her. The man who picks up
such creature takes big chances, and
shouldn't find fault if she turns out to be
all that wife shouldn't be.

Candidates for Speaker of the House of
Assembly are up aud doing already. Ed
ward Amber Armstrong, the Speaker of
the last House. is ambitious of the Chair a
second time The Pennsylvania Rail-
road may succeed in landing him there
again, if it tries: but it is not certain that
it win try. R. Wayne Parker is in the
field. He is man of considerable ability
and would make the most creditable
Speaker the House has had in good many
years. But the members of Assembly can
do far better by taking Assemblyman
William Ell. Corbin of Union, as their pre-
siding officer. He was the brainiest man
in the last Assembly, and is on the right
side of the great tax question that is agi-
tating the popular mind. He is a law
partner of Mayor Collins, and, though he
lives in Elizabeth, his associations, social
and business, are mainly with this city.
1t is likely that the delegation from this
county will favor him as the candidate of
their caucus. and that he will have the
united support of the three Jersey City
Republicans who will have seats in the
next Legislature.

The Monmouth Democrat thinks that in
view of all the honors heaped by the
Democratic party upon old Heze Smith,
of Burlington, he might have stood by its
nominees in the late canvass. The Mon
mouth Democrat should know that Heze
Smith has heaped all the honors upon
himself. His money has bought them all
for him. He boasts that SIT 900 was
more potent agent in helping him into the
State Senate than the nomination the
Democrats of Burlington County gave
him. And after all his effort to defeat the
nominees of the party in Burlington, the
Republicans are boasting that he was
supernumerary in the canvass, and that
the county was safe for them without him.

The New York

The New York is an ably edited
journal. The latest evidence of its
editorial good sense was afforded by its
reproduction, last Sunday morning, line

ented by the TATTLER to its readers two
weeks ago.

The TATTLER ventured to suggest be-
fore the election was held, that it would
be good idea to take the sense of the
people, while the voting was in progress,
upon the question of the acceptance, for
this city, of the non-partisan police and
fire commission act passed last Winner.
We pointed out the reasons that ought to
commend the act to the approval of all
good citizens. The Aldermen took no
steps in the matter; but we understand
that one or more of them submitted
the question to the County Demo-
cratic Committee. The fact that nothing
was done in the matter is an indication
that the County Committee advised against
it. We have only commiseration for the
judgment of public official who will
allow himself to be guided, in his public
course, by such convention as the Demo
cratic County Committee. We had no
desire, during the campaign, to injure the
chances of Democratic candidates by
joining the clamor against the County
Committee; but now that the canvass is
over, we are free to say that the County
Committee, as whole, are well worthy of
the public contempt in which they are
held While there are one or two or a
half dozen respectable men out of place
among them, they are as a rule, a lot OF
characterless heelers and strikers with
whom any decent man would be 10th to
shake hands. The sooner the party drives
such fellows out of the control of its poll
ties, the better it will be for it.

1t is fast becoming an axiom that no
one stands so thoroughly in need of refor-
nation as your professional political re-
former An illustration of this fact has
just been given the public in this city
The moment it was definitely ascertaiued
that Mr.. McAvoy was elected Surrogate a
howl went up from the reformers that
he had been counted in Asked for
particulars they could give none. 1t was
enough for them to know that Mr. Nc
Avoy was elected. That settled it with
them. There must have been fraud for
he could not have been elected without it.
Finally they made SUCH a fuss about it
that they attracted public attention and
were compelled to give details in self-de-
fence and to save themselves from ridi-
Guile. Being coruered they fixed upon the
Seventh district. But they did not care
to charge against Mr.. McAvoy SO they
filled Mr.. Clarkes head with the idea that
he had been defrauded out of the Assem-
bly, election and induced him to demand a
recount. They felt sure that several hun
dred votes had been stolen in that dis
trict. To get at the facts they induced
Mr.. Clark to demand a recount and Judge
Knapp appointed Court Slenographer
Nugent to supervise the business. When
it was finished Mr.. McAvoy's majority
was not disturbed. A serious fraud was
found, however, but twas not against Clark
1t was against Mr.. Mcdonald. In the first
precinct the vote stood 1872 for Mcdonald,
and 20 for Clark. In making their re-
turns the election officers had reversed
these figures, giving Clark the 1872 and
Mcdonald the 70. When this error was
corrected Mcdonald had GA majority
against the 119 allowed by the Board of
Canvassers, an increase of 90. Since then
there has not been SO much talk of fraud.
Perhaps if the subject were thoroughly
investigated there might be more frauds
unearthed--say in districts where the Re
publicans could give Wanser five or six
hundred majority and yet not elect their
Assemblyman.

The Newark Daily Advertiser seems to
have Inexperienced the matter when it
said editorially on Wednesday that, during
the course of Counselor Robert w. De
Forests argument, on behalf the New
Jersey Railroad Company, 10 the pending
litigation at Trenton over the State tax
laws, Chief Justice Beasley observed that
There are railroads that are worth less
than adjoining lands on which there are
no tracks" Mr.. De Forest was arguing
that cost was no criterion of value; and
the Chief Justices observation was to the
effect that the original cost of the property
did not represent its value at all subse-
quent periods. That is very different
thing from saying that the value of a strip
of land on which tracks lie cannot be
judged by the value Of property immedi-
ately abutting upon it. 1t is by ascertain
ing the value of adjacent lands that the
State has fixed the first value of the Cen
trails road-bed. If Chief Justice Beasley
had said what the Advertiser credits him
with having said, he would have wiped
out the States case, as to land values at
least. 10 breath. The Advertiser has goi
things slightly mixed.

decree he had it recorded, and then sent
Tor the woman to pay the fees. When she
found that the papers were recorded, she
told him that was all she needed, and he
might keep the papers. This made him
angry, and he hunted up the woman's
history. 1t did not take him long to ascer-
tain that the woman was wealthy and
abundantly able to pay. He accordingly
laid the case before the Chancellor, and
the woman was cited to appear to show
cause why she should not be adjudged
guilty OF contempt and also for perjury in
making an affidavit to her poverty, In the
face of all the facts, the woman still in
sisted that she was poor, and said that
although she owned the hotel she kept, it
was mortgaged The mortgage proved to
be very small one, however, but the
Chancellor admired her cheek" and let
her off with an order to pay Sparks one
hundred dollars. She demurred to the
extravaganza of the allowance, and made
so many delays that the weary lawyer at
last compromised for fifty dollars. 1t has
since been learned that the woman, who
usually dresses richly and in fair taste,
carried to Newark with her an old dress
and bonnet, which she used to don at a
friends house before going to the Chan
Gerry Court. the better to keep up her pre-
tence of poverty. Altogether she appears
to be pretty sharp sort of female.

TIER would be glad Of course, to see a
Democratic majority on joint ballot in the
State Legislature in 1887, but the prospect
is not encouraging In the Senate of 1887
there will be 9 Republican and Demo
cratic "hold overs" New Senators are to
be elected in Atlantic, Bergen, Cumber-
land, Hudson, Mercer and Ocean. The
Republicans are reasonably sure of cap
turing Atlantic, Cumberland Morris, and
Mercer. The Democrats are certain to
carry Hudson and Bergen. Ocean is de-
batable territory, with the chances rather
in favor of the Republicans. Empson

that was an exceptional political exploit

publicans will probably have 10 or IA

The Fire Department have decided
to state to the public through your
paper, that they have found the fire
plugs Of this town in a very bad con-
dition; that they have notified the
Mayor and Council of the fact and
that the latter have failed to take any
action toward having them repaired.
Should a fire occur, therefore, and we
not be able to do the work we should
toward extinguishing it, we desire the
public to throw the responsibility
where it belongs and not on US.
We are Of the opinion that it would
be wise on the part of the Council to
transfer the keeping of the plugs in
order to the department, who will
guarantee to have them in readiness
at any time for small remuneration.

PROSPECTS AT HOFFMAN,.
Active Preparations for Big Work-An
Iron Horse to the Front.

EcKHART, February 10, 1885.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Please allow me space in your val
liable paper for few lines about the
improvements and prospects at Hoff-
man slope.
During the past year thero has been
only one lift accessible by the rope,
namely, the third, the two lifts above
being worked out. Hitherto the coal
has been hauled from the miners to
the slope by horses, the distance be-
ing about seven thousand feet. 1t has
been thought best, however, that the
coal should be hauled by steam power,
and for several weeks past there has
been force of men ripping roof and
preparing otherwise for the intro
duction of a locomotive.
During the past year, also, the slope
has been driven distance of about one
thousand feet from the third lift to
the south heading, or rather the fourth
lift; thence about one thousand feet,
at which point force of men are at
work, laying splendid Trail track
to connect with the south heading,
or fourth lift; thence to connect with
the slope track at the third lift. The
length Of the slope will then be about
five thousand feet, with two lifts in
active operation and thousand feet
for another lift.
Taking into consideration the man
agement of the past and the appear
ances indicated by the new improve
ments, it will only be short time
until there are three lifts in active
operation.
There is also repairing going on at
the mouth of the old mine preparatory
to the erection of a fan, by which to
air the mine, the furnace not being
adequate on account Of the black
damp and noxious gas. If the brat
tees are promptly erected and proper
ly attended to, the manway, properly
repaired and kept in order, the miners
will have no reason to regret the intro
duction of locomotive in the mine.
