Liquor and Lies.

The Elizabeth Journal asks:-''If
the Werts law is such a wonderfully
effective enactment, why is it that as
soon as it was enacted the saloons
were more defiant than ever in vic;
lating the Sunday laws?"
The only answer is That the fact is
misstated. We cannot undertake to
say how the law works in Elizabeth
From a perusal of the respected Jour
nal we should be inclined to think it
was a bad town anyway. But we are
certain that in Jersey City there has

Were Suspicious.
John S. Harrison, of No. So Park avenue,
was held by Justice Stilsing this morning
until a story he related in court can be
investigated. Patrolman Donovan met
him at an early hour this morning on
Hudson street, neal Fourteenth street.
He had a large valise in his possession
and the policeman not satisfied with his
statements took him to the Grove street
station house.
There his valise was opened and found
to contain, besides a quantity of clothing,
a gold watch and a half dozen silver
spoons.
He told Justice Stilsing that he had a
quarrel with his wife last evening and
while in q tiff he picked up his things and
started to go to his brothers. home In this
city. He said that he had no intention of
DESERVING his wife, but only wanted to
brighten her Il little.
Chief Murphy communicated Harri-
sons arrest to the Hoboken police and
received word from them to hold the man
until they could come for him as he is
probably a thief.

Asked Help and Cot sixty Days.

William Taylor, a shabby genteel look
ing fellow, was arrested yesterday after
noon in Hoboken, and taken to Police
Headquarters there. In his pocket was
found an appeal addressed ito the lady Of
the house, asking for work of any kind,
or for financial aid, and relating the mis-
fortunes which had reduced him to such
necessity. In court this morning he told
the Recorder that the statements in the
letter Were true. The Recorder, however,
didn't believe him, and Mr. Taylor was
sent to Snake Hill for sixty days.

A Good s%necnlation.

One of the most notable signs of the
city's growth is that which comes from
the banks of the Hackensack. Speak
ing generally, western slope of
the Hill is the not over desirable for
settlement, and yet the serried piles
of brick and stone which have cap
tured nearly all the nearer portions
have invaded it.
Probably the gradual settlement of
the district, resulting in drainage and
grading, will render it much more
healthful and pleasant. Mosquitoes
and malaria will be driven back across
the river and houses and factories
will cover the land.
Assuredly it would be in the public
interest for the Finance Board to help
along the spread of improvement by
any means in their power. The con-
struction of wharves along the Hack
ensack water front would probably be
a very advantageous permanent in
vestment. 1t would in the first place
aid in building up the district by
facilitating the shipment of materials
to the site of operations. But, besides,
it would greatly enhance the value OF
the land for factory purposes-for
which, indeed, it is in all ways best
itted-by affording means for eco
nomical delivery of material and ship
ment of products.
1t seems to Us that a little iberality
OF the part of the city government,
and a little energy among our real
estate operators might turn to ex-
ceedingly good account a tract ofland
which is, at first sight, about as UNI
promising as any spot in the State.

Is ID a close Corporation?


The public, as we'll as the editors of
this paper, will be interested in
the question whether the Police De
partment of this city is being run as
an adjunct to our only competitor,
the EUendng Journal. The ex-Rev.
City Editor of that sheet is unfortu-
nately a Police Commissioner, and
either to curry favor with him, or
under compulsion on his part, certain
officials of the department have of
late been giving his reporters a prac-
teal monopoly of the news.
Now, information regarding current
events is by no means the private
property of the officials or employees
of any public Office. Since in this coun-
try the people rule, they are entitled
to all the light they can get-all the
knowledge they can acquire upon the
life of the period to aid them in exer-
cising their functions, and the official
who conceals or appropriates in
formation which might enlighten
them, violates his duty.
Neither has any official the right to
choose the medium through which
such information shall reach the pub
lie. The public have a right to choose
for themselves, and in the present
case a very large proportion of them
choose THE JERSEY CITY NEWS in
preference to the Eoeadaag Journal
Perhaps very nearly as many people
depend upon the former as upon the
latter for their knowledge of current
events.
Under these circumstances, we be
lieve it 10 our absolute right to the
same news privileges in the Police
and all other public departments that
our only competitor enjoys, and we
do not propose to allow Mr.. Benson
to abuse his official position to our
detriment.
Yesterday the Journal paraded on
its first page in its earliest edition the
story OF the robbery of Mr.. Murray's
safe. But for a little tip a friend of
THE JERSEY Cry News left at the
Office late in the day the news would
not have been given to the readers of
this paper.
We had been given to understand
that the Tenure-of-O ffice act put the
Chief and his men above the necessity
of buying the favor of the Commits
sioners by petty little acts of this or
any other kind. This incident proves
that the "Commishn is quite as big a
factor in the happiness of his subordi-
mates as he used to be in the times
when he dismissed and degraded, or
appointed and promoted at his
pleasure.
How does President Feeney like
this state OF things, and, we would
like to ask, does Mayor Cleveland, the
head of the city government, coun-
tenance such conduct on the part Of
the city employees2

brick, why was the fact not brought
out on the trial2 1t would have been
perfectly competent evidence. Is it
not either the wild fancy of her des-
pairing mother, or an afterthought,
a last effort to secure release for the
condemned woman?

SOME little time ago we asked what
should be done with the girl burglar,
Rosa Baerig. The officers of the law
have solved the conundrum by mar
rying her to her old sweetheart.
That is all very well so far as she is
concerned, but it looks very like shift
ing the punishment from her should
ers to the young mans, and that is
hardly fair.

Queer Venezuelan Laundries.

Most of the laundry work in Vene-
zuela is done by women on the banks
of the streams. They carry the
clothes in baskets on the top of their
heads to and fro, wash it in the cold,
running streams, pound it upon the
rocks, to the destruction of buttons,
and spread it upon the grass to dry.
Sometimes hot water and tubs are
used when the washing is done in the
houses, but there is not such a thing
as a clothes line or a dashboard in
all Venezuela. In the rear patios of
most of the houses is a tank for water
made of stones and cement. In this
the clothes are washed, and there is a
pile of large boulders as big as
cannon balls OF pumpkins upon which
the garments are spread to dry.
People from the United States have
repeatedly attempted to introduce
washing machines, clothes bars and
clothes lines, but the native women
cannot be induced to use them, pre-
ferring their own awkward way

a Pretty CANARY Gown.

The dress, trimmed in natural rob

at a reception in Paris not long since,
suggested an idea to one of New
York's bird fanciers. The percentage
of death is very great among canary
birds, he says, and it occurred to him
to contract with other fanciers for
any canary birds that might die
within a specified time. He hunted
up a fashionable modiste and found
her ready to fall in with his scheme.
She picked out her victim, a rich so
ciety woman, and secured an order
from her with the remark that she
did not care what it cost il she (the
modiste) would only promise that the
result would be "a love of a gown"
when finished. 1t has been seen by
many, who say that there is not
another in the country like it, and it
is said to have $50 wings upon it.
