Edward III. Hughes, one Of the best
known, brightest and youngest of our local
newspaper men, died at his home, 20
Mercer street, last Sunday afternoon Of
consumption, after having been confined
to his bed for more than six long weeks
About year ago Mr. Hughes had severe
attack of pneumonia, from the effects of
which he really never recovered entirely.
Early last summer his newspaper confreres
saw that his health was on the decline,
and be was finally induced to forsake his
business and go to the Catskills for a
season Of rest and recreation, and If pos
sible repair his shattered health. But his
restless nature could not bear the solitude
of those historic hills, and ere long he
drifted from the mountains (where he was
actually improving in healthy to the life
and hustle sum ner life at Saratoga, hay
ing tired of which in a fortnight, he re-
turned to this city and was at once taken
to his bed, from which he never arose
alive, Notwithstanding the fact that his
every wish WAS granted, and he was faith
fully cared for in his last sickness by a
loving and affectionate wife and moth err.
Mir. Hughes was but 20 years of age, and
had been connected with the local and
New York city press for about - years,
having bsen ushered into newspaper circles
by the editor of the SUNDAY TArTLER, BY
whom he was first employed in that direc-
ton. His funeral took place from his late
residence, No. 20 Mercer street, last
Wednesday morning, and was attended by
a large circle of friends and aequaintances
including many local politicians as well IS
Court Jersey City, No. 1923. A. o, F., in a

The Ci,y's Hea lth for August.

The report of CLERK Rooney of the Board
of Health of Hudson county for last month.
which appeared for the first time during
the week just past, show that during Au-
gust, 554 births were reported, POP mar
riagss, 533 deaths and So still births. The
death rate per Thousand for the county
was 25.6, that Of Jersey City being 24.7 /;
Hoboksn, % 20, and the rest of tae county
1858. Some of the causes of deaths were
as follows Accidents. %; csrebro spinal
fever, 4; consumption, Al Group, 10;
diarrheal diseases, 80; diphtheria, "a;
typhoid fever, s malarial fever, 6 Z; pAeu-
monia, %; bronchitis, 8 measles. L.;
pleurisy, 2; whooping cough, 4. There
were 1877 deaths under one year of age !;
286 under five 243 over FIVE; over sixty
and IS died in various institutions.
In conclusion Mr.. Rooney says Hudson
eennty's August death rate fell II below
average for nine years tor August. Jersey
City's rate fell 30 10 below the city's nine
year average, for August, but was Clio
above he mean county rate. August, 1886,
fell $40 below the average rate of this
section for nine Aagusts, but was 7-10
above the mean county rate for August
1885. The decrease of the rate was caused
by diminished mortality among children
under five years old. There wassa marked
decrease in the number of deaths from
scarlet fever. Diptheria and Group deaths
are slightly more numerous than the aver
age. The summer has been healthy as
oontrasted with the average for nine or ten
years. Since April the death rate hos been
markedly below the average. Scarlet
fever, pnsumonia and diarrhmal diseases
have been less fatal than usual.

wH4r THE LAST CONGRESS- DID.
EOS Important Senate Measures Abso-
lutely Neglected by the House of
Represenratfves


EOS Important Senate Measures Abso-
lutely Neglected by the House Of
Representatives.
Albert a. Walker, in an ssopen letter in
the September number of the Csntauy
magazine, entitled, "The Ineficiency of
the Lower House of Congress, says: sThe
House of Representatives of the Forty
eighth Congress received from the Senate
4SS bills which had been passed by the
higher. body. a majority of these never
were voted upon in the House, and but few
Of that majority were even taken up for
consideration there. 268 of the bills re-
ceived from the Senate died with the Forty
eighth Congress, merely because the House
did not consider them a; all, or did not
consider them long enough to reach any
conclusion thereon. 1913 of the neglected
bills were propositions intended to do JUS
tice to similar number of private persons
The amounts involved in the claims thus
allowed by the Senate were very small in
| proportion to the resources of the debtor
nation; but they were very important sums
to the people to whom they were due. 1t
is painful to contemplate great nation
Deglecting to pay just debts to poor citi-
zens; and it is impossible to estimate the
! privation of living and the sense of outrage
which are thus inflicted upon the innocent
| and the deserving. The nation itself would
not willingly perpetrate such heartless
wrongs. Fhe responsibility therefor must
| generally be localized in the House of Rep
resentatiyes. Severty-three of the neg
lected bills were OF public nature, but
local in their immediate operation. Nine
teen of the neglected bills related to the
Indians those almost helpless wares of
the nation, upon whom the Representatives
seem willing, by neglect, to perpetrats
another century of dishonor.
Forty of the neglected bills were public
In their nature and general in their opera
| ton. Many of these were very important
| to the national welfare. Among them was
the bills providing for the presidential sue
cession, the Bankruptcy Bill, which was
| carefully matured by the Senate, and pass
ed that body by more than two-thirds
majority. Another of these bills was that
| which reserved from sale and settlement
about 10000 square miles of public lands
| around the sources of tie great rivers in
| the Rocky Mountains, to the end that the
forests growing on the lands reserved
might not be destroyed and the rainfall
thereby diminished and misdistributed, and
the rivers be thus made to food the ada
cent country in the spring and run low in
the summer season of each year. The
great importance of the bill was explained
and enforced by Senator Edmunds, and
there was no vote against its passage in
the Senate, but the measure was wholly
neglected in the House. These three
measures may serve as specimens of the
| forty. The evils and losses which must
follow from the omission of the House to
consider such important public measures
as these are too numerous to mention.

Mayor Cleveland has found that in de-
manding the Senatorship before he has
formally warmed the Mayors char, he has
overrenched himself.
The party believes that one Office is
enough for any of its sons; and it will not
eeuntenance the man who would make a
local political Poo-Bah of himself
The American Democratic principle is
that citizen discharges his whole duty to
the public and to his God if he faithfully
and conscientiously and thoroughly attends
to the functions of one Office.
But two offices are for two men.
