CENSUS OF THE INDIANS,

Supt. Porter of the census bureau has
had a conference with the officials OF the
Indian office, as to what course is best to
be pursued in taking the census of the In
dians. The census taken in 1880 was
quite unsatisfactory in this particular.
The superintendent speaking OF the mat
ter said that where the Indians are in
states, the enumeration will be taken by
the state supervisors, but in the Indian
territory several agents would be assigned
to this work; and while as complete q
census Of the several tribes and bands as
is taken of the whites would be impractic-
able, and therefore would not be attempted,
lie would endeavor to ascertain the exact
number of Indians now living, their ages,
the number that can read and write, and
such o.her simple facts as were most
readily attainable.

A NEW srATE IN WANT.

Representative Hansbrough, North
Dakota's new congressman, called upon
Sec. Proctor yesterday in the interest of
the residents of Ramsey county, Of that
state. Crops have been bad there for
the past two years, and they are in
destitute condition, as winter is approach
ing and they are not able to purchase
fuel. Hansbrough has asked Sec. Proc
tor to permit the destitute settlers to cut
fire wood from the timber tract on DEVILS
lade reservation, Fort lotion. The Sec
retary not being certain of his authority
in the premises, promised Hansbrough
an answer to-day. He feels inclined to
grant the request.

Postmaster Gen. Wanamaker, in his
forthcoming annual report, will recon-
mend that postoffices be established on
the principal steamers that ply between
ports of the United States and Europe,
similar to railway trains. This would
greatly facilitate delivery on both sides of
the Atlantic, as the packages could be all
arranged for distribution with rapidity on
the steamers before their arrival at port.

IT BOTHERs SENATOR wERTs.


the Excise Bill.
Especial to the jersey City Ne1cs,l
TRENTON, April 8, 1889.-The excise
puzzles and the constructions put on
the law of which he is the sponsor
make Senator Werts tired.
s'They have twisted and turned it so
that l don't know what it means any
more" he said today, disconsolately.
Those who were talking of adj
ditional legislation to meet the charges
delivered by Judges Knapp and De-
pue, now feel that it would be useless
to attempt anything this session. The
House is not in a humor for work, and
at the present rate of progress the
present supply of bills would keep it
going to the Fourth of July. Besides,
they reason that saloon keepers do not
sell much by the quart, and conse-
quently it will not be necessary for
them to take out two licenses.
Newark's fight against a cable road
on Central venue has come up again
in a new form. The cable people
started operations with a bill of their
own, to which strenuous opposition
was made. While the Newark anti
cable members were keeping their eyes
fast on this bill, Mr.. Marsh, who is
said to have been against the grab of
Central avenue himself, introduced q
bill intended to allow an Elizabeth
horse a company to approach within
700 feet of another line, build a depot,
or do some other innocent and praise
worthy act.
Several of the Newark members
whose eyes were glued to the Cable
bill voted for it. 1t became a law.
Then the cable people announced that
it wa just what they wanted, thank
you, and promised to have the road in
running order in so short a time that
it would make the unmetropolitan
Newark heads swim. Today Mr..
Gill introduced a bill exempting
county roads from the operation of the
Marsh act. This would save Central
avenue.
The bill enabling Jersey City and
Hoboken to build sidewalks along the
Plank road was passed. Speaker
Hudspeth tried to get his bill in re-
gard to notaries public through on
third reading, but in the thin House
there were not votes enough. 1t will
come up again on a motion to recon
slider.
Mr.. Kalisch introduced a bill which
is likely to cause a stir among the den
lists. 1t makes similar requirements
with regard to them as are now en-
forced in the Ease of physicians.

THEY WILL INVESTIGATE.
The Railroad Grab Bill To BE Considered
This Morning.
Especial to The JERSEY City Ne,cs.l

Especial to The jersey City Necs.l
TRENTON, April 8, 1SS9.-The Rail
road Grab bill investigation is to be
begun after the morning session to-
morrow. 1t is probable that the com
mittee will confine itself entirely to
the Parliamentary questions involved;
but it ought to go further. 1t ought
to investigate the methods by which
the infamy was conducted so skillfully
and it ought to try to discover who
engineered the scheme. Even to ex-
pose the engineers would be a good
thing, because it would tend to render
their arts useless in the future.
The resolution under which the
committe was appointed is as fol-
lows
Resolved, That a committee of three be ap-
pointed by the chair to investigate and report to
the Governor all of the facts touching the al
legged passage in this House of Senate bin 1885,.
The resolution is not particularly
broad in scope, but it is surely broad
enough to authorize the inquiry sug-
gested.

CHARTER MEN STRIKE BACK.
An Act Concerning Messrs, Seymour and
Brinkerhoff.

An Act Concerning Messrs, Seymour and
Brinkerhoff.
Especial 10 the Jersey City Ne,os.1
TRENTON, April 8, 1Ss9.-Biffi The
charter party has struck back at the
Board of Finance. Corporation Coun-
sci Brinkerhoff and Corporation
Attorney Seymour are not going to
stay in Office after the charter takes
effect if they can help it.
This morning Mr.. Kalisch, of New
ark, introduced a bill declaring that
the provisions of the last veterans act
passed shall not apply to the Corpora
ton Counsel and Corporation
Attorney of cities. This would dispose
of Brinkerhoff and Seymour if it
could be pushed through, and pushed
through it will be if the Hudson county
members can do it.
Speaker Hudspeth himself does not
show any worry over having his head
chopped off. The office, apart from
its political advantages, was of no
great consequence to him, especially
as to conduct it properly interfered
greatly with his general law business.
His friends were surprised at the
action of the Board in removing him.
So were the other Hudson county
members who have lately been doing
all they could to push the charter
through. The statement that Senator
Edwards passed it in the Senate, and
that Speaker Hudspeth had charge of
it in the House, is certainly a mistake
SO far as Mr.. Hudspeth is concerned.
Mr.. Feeney is the man who doomed it
along.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hudspeth
never was particularly enthusiastic
over it. There are several sections in
it, the ACCESSIBILITY Of which in their
present shape, he doubted. He
finally cast his vote in favor of it be-
cause he concluded that on the whole
1t was in the interest of good govern
ment; but he has been SO little of an
advocate of the measure as to create
the impression at times that he
vas opposed to it. It is therefore
curious that he should have been the
first victim under it.
This will give him the place sure,
under Mayor Cleveland, if the charter
passes, " remarked a man from Jersey
City, when the news came that he had
been decapitated. 1t Is declared that
while Mayor Cleveland had spoken to
him about the office, no promise Or

NINE HOURS A DAY.


Many Building AIDE Employers Con
cede the Demands of Their Men.
There will be no strike in the build
ing trades this spring.
The Building Trades Council met al
Council Hall on Erie, between Ninth
and Tenth streets, last evening. The
organizations were represented by a
full quota of delegates, and everybody
a happy look, for at least twenty
communications were received from
employers in the building trades, an
nouncing that they would concede the
So and nine hours asked for by the
Council by April To-.
Speeches were made by President
Keshem, Secretary Moran, james
Stuart and Thomas F. Flanagan.
They were all glad of the gathering
evidences of a peaceful solution OF
labor questions and strongly dep
recated strikes unless every other
method of settlement had been tried
and failed.
The painters, carpenters, and
plumbers reported business booming.
The tin and sheet iron workers
stated that work was dull in their
trade, but with good prospects of a
speedy improvement.
The subjoined letters are specimens
of the manner in which the employers
are cooperating with the men, and
prove conclusively that the sensible
actions of the Council are appreciated.
Howard G. Fisk, of 1873 York street,
writes

Council.

preciate my efforts, I remain, respectfully,

such action, we would all be greatly ben
efited-both journeyman and employer.

FEHNHY BADLY USED.
The Senate Has Treated His
Bills with Contempt,
and He Is Wroth.
HE'S AFTER THE SWINDLECATEs.
The Charter Party Strikes Back---
Railroad Grab Investigation.
HE'S AFTER THE SWINDLECATEs.
Especial to the Jersey city Me,cs.l

pCPcttWt ~ GS Jersey OttS AtCtco.I
TRENTON, April 8, 18S9.-The New
ark Water Bond bill has not met with
the same success in the House that it
had in the Senate. Its progress has
not been SO triumphant.
Already the Swindlecates have
begun to show signs of doubt and
anxiety. They are trying to drag on
the friends of the people into sup
porting the bill by charges of black
mail. They say that the men who de-
mand that the people shall have a
voice in the matter are holding off in
the hope of being paid for voting for
the measure. Members who vote and
work against the bill are to be pilloried
as strikers.
1t will be interesting to watch how
these tactics will work. Timid mem
bers might, of course, be influenced
by such bullying, but fortunately for
the citizens of Jersey City, the two
men who have been foremost in the
fight against the Swindlecates are not
timid. They are Colonel Heppen-
heiiner and John P. Feeney. SANDER
will have as little effect on them as
threats.
Assemblyman Feeney is the more
earnest in the matter because of the
contemptuous treatment he has met
with in the Senate.
His bill reducing the price of gas in
Jersey City to $3.50 a thousand was
slowed away in the Committee on
Corporations and Senator Bogert
bursts out laughing whenever hesub-
ject is mentioned. The people must
continue to pay an extortionate price
for gas.
His anti-Swindlecate Water bill has
been treated with the same contempt
nous Indifference in the Committee on
Riparian Rights. Two of the mem
bers of the Committee are Senator
Gardner, who introduced the Railroad
Grab infamy, and Senator Adrain,
who voted with him against recalling
it from the Governor.
Mr.. Feeney has thus been treated
with silent contempt in the Senate in
regard to these two great measures in
the interest of the public. The SEN
ators have not ever deigned him the
satisfaction of reporting the bills and
then defeating them. Apparently
they think that silent contempt is
good enough for him.
In consequence Mr.. Feeney cherishes
bitter feelings on the subject. He
would work to defeat the Newark bill
If only to get satisfaction for the scorn-
full treatment he received. Besides,
it win be necessary for him to secure
the defeat of the bill to preserve the
reputation which he made with the
people of Jersey City when he secured
the passage of the anti Swindlecate
bill.
In the meantime it is interesting to
note that the Swindlecates are saying
that is really not necessary that the
bill should pass this year.
