HIGH. LICENSE IN JERSEY.
REPUBLICANS ADOPT A TEMPERANCE
 MEASURE IN JOINT SESSION.

Hot Debate the Proposed Bi1l-A
 Great Sensation Expected Among the
 Brewers-Salient Features of the Con-
 templated Reform Legislation.
 TRENTON, N. J., Feb. S.-The Republicans held joint caucus in the assembly chamber yesterday and for two hours fiery debate on the temperance measures held attention. The proceedings were secret, but enough has leaked out to arouse state discussion and cause the liveliest alarm among the brewers. It was resolved by the caucus, it appears, to adopt both the local option and the high license bills. They will be consolidated by the caucus committee, and as one bill will be passed by the Republican majority of the two houses.
 The local option bill will provide that when one-tenth of the legal voters of county petition to the circuit court judge for an election on the question of license or no license, the judge, after making due inquiry and giving opportunity to test the petitioners as to their being legal voters, etc, shall order an election to be held within forty days, and the majority shall then decide whether licenses shall or shall not be granted. If no license is voted, severe penalties are provided for the violation of the law, though exceptions are made in reference to druggists prescriptions, etc. Where license is voted the bill will pro- vide that the licenses shall be high and that the power of revocation shall be increased. The amount of the license fee has not yet been fixed, but it will not be less than s25O, it Is stated.
 The contest in caucus was bitter, and it is reported that three of the Essex members de- ciined to commit themselves on the local op- tion question: They have not finally deter mined to bolt be it understood, but they can not, they say, support the measure. There may be one or two other members similarly situated, but they are not identified. The Republicans could spare six votes and still pass the bill.
 One of the features of local option which causes embarrassment is the situation of such a county as Monmouth. The voters would vote against license, yet it would be a serious embarrassment to the summer resorts, where much of the wealth and few of the votes are located The determination of the caucus will cause a great sensation among the brewers A great lobby is expected on the subject here next week, and the fervor of subsequent dis cussion will be sufficient to redeem the legis- lature from the charge of duties heretofore made.
 The assembly yesterday afternoon passed the bill imposing $1 O0O fine upon persons who sell liquor on their premises without license The measure had the support of two Demo- crats, but Christie Rep.) of Essex, voted against it.

Killed on the Elevated.

NEW YORK, Feb. s.-An unknown man, about 55 years old, was killed yesterday on the down town track of the Third avenue elevated railroad, at the Forty-second street station. How he got on the track no one seems to know. The engineer of the train says that when he saw the man on the track he pulled the whistle, but no attention was paid to it. On the contrary, the man stood facing the engine for a moment, and then kneeled down, and was evidently trying to place his head on the other rail- It was impossible to stop the train The mans right leg was amputated, and he received two severe wounds on the top of the head and another under the chin. Nothing was found on the unfortunate man that would lead to his identity

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-The examination in the case of Charles Benson, who swindled residents of the City of Mexico out of s25, 900 by selling bogus Patti concert tickets to them, was continued yesterday.

They could not find the money in their haste, but got gold watch and considerable quan- tity of diamonds and other jewelry, worth several hundred dollars.

LOndOn's Unemployed.

Where is the panacea to be found that shall set matters right? Busy men require remedies that effect their purpose rapidly, that they may be spared the distraction of prolonged worry The sense of justice re- volts at the sight of thousands of hungry men and women, capable of labor, demand ing work or bread in vain. Is there useful work at hand? Are the means of intercom- munication so perfect-roads, streets, rivers, canals-that there is no need of extensions and repairs? Would judiciously bestowed labor not further enhance the capitalized value of fields and dwellings in town and countrys Are there no longer any slums to be demolished, nor dwellings for artisans to be builts
 Possibly in London there are libraries and museums enough, but how about cheap baths and wash houses, which for a penny fee the poor might use? It is unfair to reproach them as s'the unwashed," when modern urban life denies them the advantage of baths. Again, there is tte extension of the sewage system to be undertaken, and tho reclamation and drainage of the Thames marshes and flats, which should help to les sen or banish our fogs. If the money were forthcoming immediate profitable employ ment could be found for 100000 men. Min isters of the crown find no difficulty in get ting, at few hours notice, S10,OO0, 900 for war purposes; why longer delay in procuring means to promote peace, and rescue from want thousands of deserving men and womena Can society afford to let even the wastrels and ''incapables'' perish in the Contemporary Review.

And So Does San Francisco,

WAsHINGToN, Feb a-Ex-Governor Bod- man H. Price, of New Jersey, who is now in Washington, sent a letter yesterday to every member of the national Democratic com mittee urging San Francisco as the place for the meeting of the national Democratic con- vention. It is stated that the price of tick cts will assuredly be reduced so low that no objection can possibly be made to the selec- tion of this city on the ground of expense. It is further suggested that by fixing July as the date of the convention the occasion may be made a highly commemorative one, in celebration of the first raising of the Ameri. can flag over California on July z, 1s46.

Where Prohibition Doesn't Work.

PROVIDENCE, Feb. s.-Chief of State Police E. F. Curtis, in his first annual report to the legislature, says the prohibition law is not working very satisfactorily. There are no officers whose duty it is to prosecute cases in the lower courts. Officers making arrests are liable to suits for damages if no conviction results. There are 52S appealed liquor cases and 33S indictments. It would take two years to dispose of liquor cases alone, if the court did nothing else. Recommendations to remedy these faults are made by MT. Curtis.

John Nc Evilly, archbishop of Tuam, in opening the annual retreat of the clergy ill the cathedral at that place yesterday, declared that he was authorized to deny emphatically the rumors that the pope opposed the legitimate aspira- tions of the people of Ireland to 8 distinctive nationality. Never, he asserted, had there been fouler calumny invented than the re- port he denied, and not in Ireland, nor in the world, he proclaimed, did a heart beat that was more friendly to Ireland and her people than the heart of Pope Leo XIII.
