The fog on the Delaware Thurs
day morning was very heavy, and
caused considerable delay to all the
ferry boats. Some Of them were near
ly an hour in making trips. The bells
at the ferries on both sides of the
river, and the fog bells on Ridgway
Park were kept ringing for several
hours. The ferry boat Baltic, ofthe West
Jersey ferry, picked up the telegraph
cable at the west side of Ridgway
Park. A large piece of it was wound
round the wheels and shaft and dis
abled the boat for the remainder of
the day. 1t was not removed from
the wheels until early this morning,
when she left the Philadelphia side
for Camden. 1t is said it will cost
several thousand dollars to repair the
cable. The ferry boat Columbia, also
of the West Jersey Ferry, had her
guard rail broken, but was not other
wise injured.
A male infant two weeks old was
found in the ladies' cabin of the ferry
boat Wenonah on one of its trips to
Camden Thursday afternoon. 1t was

Mr.. CLEVELAND follows old Demo-
cratic ante-bell,m presidents in his
message, in installing verbosity for
profundity, and inficts upon the peo-
pie between ten and eleven columns
of drivel, the facts in which could
have been stated compactly in one
quarter the space he occupies. Re-
garding foreign affairs, he goes over
the whole ground, including much un-
important matter. Special attention
is given to the abuse of Cinnamon in
this country, which he condemns; and
he proposes more stringent legislation
regarding their exclusion, with better
protection for those who remain. He
wants the reciprocity treaty with the
Hawaiian Kingdom renewed. As to
the Cutting case, he declares that the
Mexican claim Of jurisdiction over of
lenses against Mexicans committed on
American soil, can never be conceded.
He takes Bayard's statement of the
law and facts of the case, which, it
will be remembered, widely differ from
the view of the matter taken by the
Mexican authorities. He declares our
treaty arrangements regarding renun-
citation of foreign citizenship by natur-
allied citizens to be inadequate, and
recommends changes in the extradi-
ton laws.
The only portions of the message of
vital interest to the people are those
relating to the tariff, to the silver
question, coast fertilization, and civil
service reform. Regarding the reve-
nue., he repeats the stale, worn-out
charges that the consumer pays the
duty, ETC., and this section of his mes
sage reads like free trade campaign
speech. He strongly recommends
that the enforced coinage of silver dol
lars shall stop, and wants the ocean
and lake frontiers Of the country forth
fed.
He has nothing original to say on
the currency question and the main
tenance of the national banking sys-
TEN, but refers Congress to the recon-
mendations contained in the report of
the Secretary of the Treasury upon
these topics. He wants some steps
taken by Congress to secure the COM
mencement of the manufacture Of gun
steel in the United States; recon-
mends an addition to the federal judi
ciary in New York, so that the many
The news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1882-1891, 1886-12-14

cases arising out of the valuation of
imports at the custom-house there
may be promptly adjudicated; and
suggests that federal penitentiaries
shall be established, where the con-
victs may be employed in manufactur-
ing goods for the army and navy.
He still adheres to the principal of
civil service reform, however, much
he may deviate from it in practice, and
enters upon defense of it against
the bitter attacks made upon him on
that account by the spoils Democrats.
He devotes some attention to the labor
question, reviews his recommendation
for an enlargement of the present
labor bureau, and urges that the power
of arbitration between employers and
employees be vested in that bureau.
This recommendation ought to make
the state rights Democrats howl, for it
would certainly be an invasion of
what they are pleased to term the
reserved rights of the states" Our
objection to the plan is not based upon
that point, for if arbitration is resorted
to, a federal board would be the best
method of accomplishing it; but our
objection rests upon its futility to &C.
complish anything permanent. The
rights and privileges of workmen and
employers is matter which should be
clearly and properly defined by law,
and the principles SO laid down should
be applied by the courts, as in all
other equity cases. There is nothing
else in the long document that justi-
ies extended comment.

The reasons given by Samuel E.
Burr and Benajah P. Wills, as set
forth in their notices to Messrs.
Doron and Hutchinson are as follows
First-Frauds on the part of some OF
the boards Of election second-not
being eligible to the office; third
bribery fourth--giving brides for
votes; INSTRUMENTATION by agents
of firms and corporations sixth-il-
legal votes received and legal votes
rejected seyenth-errors made by the
Board of Canyassers eighth-that
Mr.. Burr received a plurality of the
votes cast over any other person
voted for, and was legally elected /;
ninth : some district election boards
not lawfully constituted; tenth some
election officers were induced to resign
that the board might be unlawfully
controlled; eleventh-that the can
vass of the votes was made against
the interest of the contestant twelfth
votes were cast for you as member
for assembly in another district thir-
teenth-other Irregularities not herein
specified.
1t will be seen at a glance they are
greatly strained and it is wonder
they have held together this long. Mr..
Burr was beaten badly while Mr..
Doron had clear majority over Mr..
Wills. The latter will not make any
friends among Republicans in his
fight for the Lay Judgship by reason
of this contest. We understand, how
ever, it was not his wish to enter the
contest. If this is so he should not
have allowed himself to be forced
into it.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IL, 1886.
Since / last wrote you Congress met,
and amid its usual cordial greetings
and floral tributes, read the Presi-

not deferred by unpropitious weather,
filled the galleries and looked down
with interest and amusement upon
the scenes enacted on the floor. In
the House for an hour before the gavel
fell groups of members crowded the
cloak rooms, blockaded the aisles,
chatted, laughed, exchanged congratu-
lations on success in the recent eiec-
tons or coincidence upon defeat. Vic
