THAT Han of Records Nuisance.

That Hall of Records Nuisance.
1t is only a little while since THE
JERSEY CRY NEWS drew attention
to tine scandalous neglect of Con-
tractor John A. Brown, who has dilly-
dallied for nearly a year over the new
| Hall of Records which was to have been
and could easily have been completed
by June /, last. We then pointed out
that, although MI. Browns bond pro-
vided no penalty for his failure to
carry out his contract, the common
law afforded ample means of punish
ing him.
Acting on suggestion, the Grand
Jury has taken up Mr.. Brown and his
work, and at the hour of this writing,
there seems to be a strong probability
that a formidable presentment will be
made.
1t is amusing to see Mr.. Brown,
under the stimulus of this procedure,
falling over himself in his haste to
push the building towards compile
ton. 1t will doubtless be equally
amusing though rather more exasper-
ating to see Nj. Brown relapse into
inactivity and indifference should the
Grand Jury postpone action on ac-
count of the present spasm of energy.
THE West Side of Bergen Hill
should be provided with proper drain
age. If the city has failed to open
streets through which main sewers
can be laid to tide water she should
not hesitate to assist the citizens in
making a way GRO the mea-
dows for such outlets. An article
on our front page today shows that
the outlets to be provided are sure to
pay for themselves, to say nothing of
the increased income the city will de-
rive in the shape of taxes, from the
development of a naturally desirable
residence section.

The New Board of FFeeholders.
The Republican press of the State,
lead by the EoenSng Journal, seems
DESTROYS of "queering' the new sys-
tenn of county government of which
the lately elected Board of Free
holders is the embodiment. The
motive for this course lies on the
surface. Under the old rotten
borough system the party of moral
ideas used to scoop in considerable
loaves and fishes in this county, and
in Essex used to take the lions share
unto itself. The present plan, which
apportions the control of the county
according to the true ascendancy of
the parties is of course distasteful to
the side that has thus been deprived
of its unfair advantages.
The Fleming Journal in pursuance
Of it's plan to dlscredit the reform, In
vented a monstrous fake concerning
the new Hudson board. 1t repre-
sented the members as holding a
aucus and laying plans to do all sorts
Of corrupt and high-handed things,
and it raved and tore its venerable
locks in anguish of spirit. The story
looked fishy upon it's surface. People
read it and wondered,
Now the truth comes out. There
was not mi word Of truth in it. There
has been no caucus yet, and when one
is held-probably tomorrow-nothing
crooked or undetermined or high
handed Oh in any way peculiar will be
done. The fact is the new Freehold
ers are elected as the opponents of re-
form, and their political future de-
ponds on the goodness of the admin
istration which they afford. They
are all we'll aware of this, and it is not
common to suppose they would
inaugurate their regime by doing
anything improper or wen unpop-
ular.
PRAISE is doubly praise when it
comes from a hostile source. That is
the reason we clip the following

full paper" 1t tells the truth. Nothing like it
in the journalistic line has ever been seen in New
-Jersey.-7rsnton Times.

Caliow Marriages.

Nine-tenths of the unhappy marriages
are the result of green human calves
being allowed to run at large in society
pastures without any yoke on them. They
marry and have children before they do
mustaches. They are the fathers of twins
before they are the proprietors OF two
pairs of pants, Ii the little girls they
marry are old women before they are
twenty years old. Occasionally Il of
these gosling marriages turns out all
right, but it is a clear case of luck. II
there was a law against young galoots
sparkling and marrying before they have
cut all their teeth, we suppose the little
cusses would evade it in some way. But
there ought to be q sentiment against it.
1t is time enough for these bantams to
think of finding u pullet when they have
raised money enough to. buy a bundle of
lath to Duild q hen house. But they see
a girl who looks cunning, and they are
afraid there are not going to be enough
to go round and they begin to spark real
spry, and before they are aware of the
sanctity of the marriage relation they are
hitched for life, and before they own a
cook stove or a bedstead they have got to
get up in the night and go after the doc
tor, so frightened that they run them
selves out Of breath and abuse the doctor
because he does not run too. And when
the doctor gets there there is not linen
enough in the house to wrap up the baby.

s'What did the wheat average in your

When told that the average for Wichitf

bushels per acre the man from Illinoi
was inclined to doubt the statement, bu
was. compelled to believe that such wa
the case after having been furnished witt

ovsrDn,a Pension Vouchers.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-An examina-
ton of the June accounts of the Wash
ington city pension agency, by the pen
sion division of the third auditors office,
shows an overpayment of S2lOO on one
voucher. A number Of smaller over
payments have also been recently DIS
covered in the accounts of other pension
agencies. These errors are said to have
resulted from an effort to increase the
work of clerks beyond their capacity e
Clerks are now required to maintain an
average of 1000 vouchers per day ana II
is commended that the interests of govern
ment would be better protected II TINS
average was reduced to 500 vouchers pei

An Exciting Scene Over the Race Trouble Cues

INDIANAPOLIS, ND, Sept. l4.-The
negro Baptists resumed the discussion Of
outrages again to-day. Rev. 7. l. Jor-
dan of Mississippi made speech depre-
eating the remarks advocating violence
in return for the Southern wrong, as it
places the mass of colored people IN
criminal classes OF the South. Others OF
the Mississippi delegation talked in
the same vein, and resolutions
were finally introduced and adopted
to the effect that the 'colored people
cultivate friendly relations with those
among whom they live. -
President Love became very wroth al
the passage of the resolutions and madees5a
speech reciting the story of the assault e.
himself, and said the passage of there's
olution would make 1t appear that there
had been no outrages and that he hao
made false statements. This caused
much excitement. and the vote was re-
| considered and the resolution tabled

sisted however, upon their names goint
