SILENT ABOUT VAN ALsT

New Members File Their Bonds and a
New Clerk Is Elected.
The Fire Board met last night, and,
contrary to all expectations, took no
action with reference to the defalca-
ton of the late Clerk Van Alst. All
the members were present. A rumor
was current that the deficit would
probably be made up by members of
the Board and friends of the late
clerk.
A dozen or more building and alter
alton permits were granted.
A Communication from Van Houten
Post asking that their members who
belong to the Fire Department be
allowed to attend the celebration and
parade with the Post in New York on
the Both was referred to the Chief
with power.
The Board were notified that
Thomas ID. Mills and Charles Quinlan,
the recently elected Board members,
had fled their bonds.
During the enumeration of bills pre-
sented Commissioner Mills objected to
passing presented by G. Munsing
for repairs and painting, saying that
he had discovered a $25 item iinprop-
erly charged. This was referred,
along with others, to the proper COM
mittee.
Commissioner Madden nominated
Charles Estabrook to fill the vacant
position of clerk to the Board. Com
missioner Shea presented the name of
Jacob Eller. Mr.. Estabrook was
elected by a vote of four to two, and
began his duties this morning.
The Board decided that the claims
of four members for salaries while on
the sick list should not be paid. A
warrant was ordered drawn for the
payment of $4,S03 for claims and
salaries due shortly, and another in
favor of the wife of the late Clerk Van
Alst for services rendered up to April
II, amounting to $61. As.
After passing a resolution of thanks,
presented by President Conway, to
Assistant Chief Denmead for the able
manner in which he has performed the
services of clerk since the death of
John I. Van Alst, the Board adj
journed till tonight. The conference
in the star chamber was lengthy.

Hoboken's Park.

OF all the absurd positions taken by
the Republicans in the last Legisla-
ture, none was less tenable than their
opposition to the proposed grant
to the city of Hoboken of the
lands under water in front of
Stevens Park. Senator Gardner, that
champion of the railroads, said the
question was one of dollars and cents
and that if the city wanted the ripar-
ian rights it should pay for them.
The grant was asked for merely to
protect the park from future invasion.
Were piers to be built in front of it,
not only would its natural beauty and
attractiveness be largely destroyed,
but the objects for which it was
created would be defeated. The
grant was purely for the public good,
and it was provided that the riparian
rights should revert to the State if the
land should ever cease to be used for
park purposes.
Hudson county has already given
twenty-six miles of water front to the
State; yet this South Jersey republi-
can objected to letting the people Of
Hudson county have 260 feet of water
front for the public benefit.

A FRIEND of General Boulanger has
been telling of the plot to shoot that
hero, by accident or otherwise, had he
remained in France. Apparently it is
as risky to be a sensational politician
over there as it is to be an Oklahoma
boomer in this land. Nevertheless, it
must be admitted that the French plan
of squelching such nuisances has it's
advantages. Think of what the
country would have been spared in
the way of Blaine, Fire Alarm Foraker
and others like them, if the plan had
been adopted here.

Massachusetts Votes Wet.

Republican Massachusetts seems to
have come to about the same con
clusion with regard to the liquor
question as was reached by the demo
cratic newspapers. The prohibition
amendment to the constition was de-
ffeated yesterday by a big majority.
This is particularly interesting to
people living in this State, in view of
the denunciations which have been
heaped on the democratic majority
in the Legislature for having replaced
the intolerable and unjust excise law
passed last winter by one which pro-
vides for the regulation of the traffic
by the people of communities.
BY the vote passed yesterday the
Republicans of Massachusetts adopted
the same view of the question as was
taken by the Democrats in this State.
1t is hard to see, therefore, how repub-
lican editors in New Jersey can con-
tinue to find fault with the repeal of
the local option law.

One Weeks Record.

The Republicans defined their posi-

during the last week of the session of
the Legislature.
They proved themselves the blind,
unhesitating friends of the Railroad
Grabbers.
They showed their hostility to labor
by injecting politics into the discus
sion of the unlawful pledge bill,
thereby defeating it temporarily.
They defeated electoral reform.
1t is not often a party is able to
make so glorious a record in one short
week.

IT isn't often that a policeman sent
to find out the details of an accident
learns so thoroughly just how the
thing happened as Policeman Rein
brand did yesterday. Detailed to
learn how John Grady fell down
stairs, the officer put himself in
Grady's place and took just such a
tumble down the same staircase as
had injured Grady. No doubt Rein
brand carried back to his superiors a
graphic account of the accident that
had befallen his predecessor on that
flight of stairs.
