Ooposision 10 Extreme Iausufon

The action of a nuInb-r of our lead
ing business men and ciLizens who met
in the Board of Trade rooms last even
ing, was q move in the right direction.
The meeting was entirely divested OF
partisan aspect, by the attendance Of
leading men of both parties and the
perfec. agreement upon measures look
ing 70 good, economical adj administration
of government and opposition TO need
less increase Of the public debt and a
consequent increase of taxes. The SEN
timent OF the meeting was evidence of
the deep opposition of our leading bust
ness men TO the measures which have
culmina ted in pressing municipal
debt and 10 any Of the proposed meas
ures looking TO an increase of that Il ebt
Conse quently the scheme 10 borro~
500, 200 To pay off debts that ought
never TO have been contracted, was en-
phstically condemn ned as it eser ved to
be.
The plan advocated to divide the CITY
into four assessment districts and 10
constitute the assessors Of hese districts
. Board OF Revision is good one, much
more preferable than TO confer that duty
upon the Finance Committee of the
City Council. Men who are intelligent
enough TO make fair and equitable
assessment of property should be the
best gu alsded to corre,t errors if any
have been made and 10 revise the as
sessment.
In recommending the repeal of that
part of the Water Commission act
especially that compels the city to pay
70 the Com mission a water tax of 800.
900 and that part Of he act that en-
powers the Commission to borrow $l20, :
900 on the credit OF the city, the meet
ing again showed mature Judgment
and good practical sense.
The city at no time should be IN ade
to pay $50, 900 or any o.her amount in
water taxes while 1t has 70 protect the
water department by its police, fire and
light d-par ments, and though the
$l20, 900 may be needed to improve the
water department it is not absolutely
necessary that it should be done now.
The opposition to the bill now pending
In the Legislature to abolish tie trial
of civil cases at the Sep,embe and
February terms OF court was marked
and emphatic. The people are tired of
having civil case dragged along
tbr juah several terms Of court until the
principa sued for is almost exhausted
in COSTS and other incidental expenses.
The people want speedy trials, and ex-
act justice.
But the meeting held last night must
not end this matter. IL is not difficult
to come together and decide that this
thing and that thing should not be
done, snG some other thing should be
done These are but resolutions Oh

The object Of all legal enactmenrs
should be the promotion Of the con-
venience and welfare of the people
Hence the proposedchange in the courts
OF this city does not meet with approval.
The mass Of our citizens would much
rather see the means provided for the
more rapid despatch or transaction of
business than any diminution of the
same. Thoee having business in the
courts very much desire to see the
docket cleared, and che session should
not be finally adjourned until that end
shall be rea he'd, even IL it should re.
quire its continuance until next May.
The attainment of justice at the earliest
possible date should be the aim OF all.

THE ELECTION Of William NJ. Evarts

have rendered necessary change In
the make up Of Cleveland's cabinet.
Until within few days past there
seemed TO be no doubt that both Mr..

the selling OF dollar ladies'

Here is another stranger
than that.
When we put those dollar
ladies'-c cloths down to Is

we had other dollar ladies'
cloths that we didn't pu,

was to put down several

is to put another make dowr

that isn't likely to get below
a dollar ; one of the best
perhaps the very best-bu,
we still have a make or two

Last Monday night Marshal Strick-
land arrested young man by the name
OF John Craig under very suspicious
circumstances. When arrested he had
in his possession a pocket looking glass,
pocket album and lot of writing paper
stolen from Wells drugstore; two bot
ties of corn cure stolen from Harkey's
drugstore, and meerschaum pipe
stolen from Fowler's store, and the
back door key of Humphreys & Evants
store. The young man wilted soon
after his arrest and made the following
confession: He said that he had two
accomplices by the name Of Hinkle and
Carter and that they were to ARRIVE
here about midnight Monday night and
with the aid of the key stolen in the
afternoon they were going to enter the
store of Humphreys & Evants for the
purpose of robbing 1t. These men Craig
says are the ones who robbed the safe
or 3. f. Bayliss at Dover some time
ago. Marshal Strickland and his as
sistants kept watch for the men un-
til long past midnight but they failed
to come. They might have suspected
the arrest of Craig, and kept quiet, or
else Craig made the story from whole
10th. The prisoner was sent to Dover
Tuesday, where the present grand jury
will investigate the charges against
him. Craig is apparently about Is
years old and says he lives in this coun-
ty. We congratulate Marshal Strick-
land on his successful capture, as we'll
as II. &. E., upon their narrow escape
from the midnight marauders.
