PATRONAGE DISTRIBUTOR COLLINS.

Because He Ran for Congress He May
Give Out the Federal Offices.
A wellknown Republican said, through
one of its reporters, to the readers of
THE JERSEY CITY News last even
ing, that the Federal administration
has adopted a new rule in the
matter of distributing the Federal offices
in the States that are not represented by
Republicans in the United States Senate.
The rule is that Republican candidates
for Congress who were defeated and
candidates who made q fight for a
seat in the Senate, but did not get
there, are to be the persons on whose
recommendations offices within the State
are to be filed. Ex-Mayor Gilbert Collins
was the Republican candidate in
this Congressional district last fall.
The effect of the enforcement of this rule
will be to give the ex-Mayor large voice
in the selection of postmasters and other
federal officials holding offices with
in the limits of this county.
1t also explains how it is that Senator
Sewells views have been so potential in
the only appointment of any Importance
so far made here-that of ex-senator
Deacon to the United States Marshalship,
If Mr.. Collins is to be the chief spokes-
man to the Administration in this mat
the discussion between the Repub-
lican County Committee and some
outsiders on the subject. Mr.. Collins is
one of the County Committee, and he will
probably take counsel of the County Com
mittee before he ventures to make any
recommendations to the powers at Wash
ington.

Bird w. Spencer to be member of the
State Board of Assessors in place of
Edward BEETLE There was strong fight
against confirmation and the Governor
felt some anxiety on the subject, which
was indicated by his son and private
secretary waiting at the door of the SEN
ate to get the first tidings of the result.
1t was again proved that q Democratic
Senate would not reject the nomination
of Democratic Governor.
Strong opposition came from Senator
Edwards, who, in the course Of o short
speech declared that the Office rightfully
belonged to Hudson county, whose rail-
road interests were entitled to representa-
ton on the Board. But while he spoke
against confirmation, he did not vote
against, but abstained from voting at all.
Senator Gardner also spoke against con-
firamtion He declared that Mr.. Bettle
had proved himself faithful and capable
officer and that there was no good or just
reason for making change in the Board
Senator Martin followed in the same
strain, but his conclusion was that, as the
Governor had made the nomination, he
would vote for it.
The nomination was confirmed by IA to
A. The nominations of Irving w. Schultz
to be Law Judge of Warren and of Henry
p. Cullen to be Lay Judge of Hunterdon,
were confirmed without opposition.

THIEVES IN THE SENATE CHAMBER.
A Bold Raid on the Members Desks Baf
fed by sightseers.
HUI UJ 1sIIV5COIs'

0eu Dy sfShtseers.
[SpecidE to the Jersey city Nelcs.l
TRENTON, April /, 1889 Burglars, genu-
inc burglars, raided the Senate Chamber
during the recess between Wednesdays
and tonight. They broke open the desks
of Senator'S Pfeiffer, Gardner and Newell;
forced five lockers in the rooms of Ser
geant-at-Arnls John Mccormick, stole
fifty copies of the Legislative Manual, and
seriously depleted the supplies OF station
cry The detective talent of the Senate is
now trying to discover the criminals. Inc
Senate resolved formally that they must
be found.
The raid was certainly bold one. 1t
was probably committed in the day time
when visitors to the State House are CON
stantly coming and going, and the fact
that all the Senatorial desks were mol
plundered is probably due to the arrival OF
sightseers before the burglars had com
pleted their work. None OF the Senators
or Assemhlymen are suspected.
Assemblyman Feeney was disposed TO
justify the crime at first. When he heard
of it his keen detective ability suggested
the theory that it was the work OF lndlg-
nant citizens who had despaired of getting,
by any other method, their bills out OF
committees which had hung them up.
But this theory proved untenable. Mr..
that he will be able to rescue his Gas bill
from the Committee on Corporations only
by the use of dynamite or jimmy. He
interviewed Senator Thompson about the
bill tonight. Senator Thompson is the
man who hung the bill up last
year and who won't attend meeting OF
the committee to consider it this year.
The mention of the bill made Senator
Thompson laugh. He said it was getting
on finely. Mr.. Feeney next tackled Sen
ator Bogert, the chairman of the COM
mittee, begging him to report the bill ad-
yersely rather than withhold it from the
Senate Senator Bogert laughed like
Senator Thompson.
The pretense that the bill is not reported
because meeting of the committee can
not be secured was shown tonight to be
utterly without foundation in fact. Sena-
tor Bogert reported from that committee
bill in which he was interested. But
the bill was for the benefit of the corpora
tions-not of the people.

SPECIAL LEGISLATION.
Senator werts Introduces an Important
Constitutional Amendment.

SeuaLOT WertS AAbFoOuCc5 sNA POA ehAAt
Constitutional Amendment.
Especial to the jersey city Ne,cs.l
TRENTON, April 2, 1889. Senator Werts
has introduced constitutional amend
ments reyoking the prohibition of special
legislation for cities and counties, and
providing that Common Pleas budges ap-
pointed to fill vacancies shall serve only
the unexpired term.
Partisan legislation fourished in the
House today. Bills were passed giving the
appointment of the District Court Judges
to the Governor, and allowing incumbents
to serve out their terms; also bills for
giving the appointment of Pilot Commits
sioners.to the Governor, ,and providing Law
Judges for Atlantic and Cumberland.
There was row over the Kearney- -Har-
rison Consolidation. McDermit asked to
be excused from voting on the ground
that he was not present in the caucus
when the bill was adopted. Francois
voted with the Republicans, and the re-
quest was granted. Then Heppen
heimer, Feeney and Farrell de-
nounced Francois for deserting his party.
Farrell charged that the Clark
Thread Mills have had lobby here for
weeks to defeat the bill. Francois excused
himself on the ground of absence from the
caucus. On the final passage Potts and
Davis voted no, but changed their votes to
ave. Francois also voted aye, and the bill
was passed. 1t now goes to the Senate.

NElGHBoRs DISAGREE.
And an Intricate Question Comes Up Be
fore Justice Stilsing.

fore Justice Stilsing.
A case involving an intricate legal ques-
ton, and growing out of quarrel be-
tween neighbors' was before Justice Still
sing, this morning. Timothy Nc
Mahon and James Walden live
in the flats near Fourteenth street. Nc
Mahon, it is claimed, erected some sheds
and piled up some old lumber directly
across what would be the line of Four
teenth street, if it was laid out across the
flats.
Walden wanted to drive his cart over
the land which was occupied by the lum-
ber, but McMahon, he says, refused to re-
move the obstruction, claiming that he
had sufficient "pull" with the Commits
sioner and the police to keep his lumber
where it was McMahon, however, denies
that he ever made any such claim.
Walden consulted Counsellor James
Manning and brought charge against
McMahon for violating city ordinance
by obstructing a public thoroughfare
The penalty for this is fine, part of
which goes to the informer, thus making,
as Mr. McMahon claims, Walden's re-
yenge not only sweet but lucrative.
This morning when the case was called,
Justice Stilsing showed Counsellor Man
ming q letter from Assistant Clerk L. d.
Fowler. of the Board of Works, which
stated that he could find no record
of the proceedings, under the
opening of that part of Fourteenth street
involved in the dispute, AS it would be
most material for Mr.. Manning to prove
that there was street there In order to
make out q case he asked for an adjourn
ment for week, which was given.

hysician-Lieutenant Schroeder Says
He Was Wrongly Quoted Today's
Council of the Grand Army Men.
The Council of Administration of the
Department of New Jersey, g. A. r., met
this afternoon in Taylor's Hotel. Depart
ment Commander w. B. E. Miller, of Cam
den, presided, and Assistant Adjutant Cen
eral McGrath, of Camden, acted as secre-
tary. There were also present, Senior Vice
Commander, J. A. Wildrich, of Bel

ABOUT THE KRARNEY HOME.
The Committee to investigate the
charges recently brought by Lieutenant
Schroeder an inmate of the Soldiers Home
at Kearney, against the management Of
the institution, submitted its report, which
| states that the committee found every
thing in first class condition at the Home.
| As the committee passed through the
dining room many of the old soldiers
were at dinner, and they found their
tables bountifully supplied with cooked
meat and vegetables.
THEY NEED A PHYSICIAN.
| The inmates all seemed well satisfied,
and agreed that the one thing lacking at
/ the Home was a resident physician.
Many are aged, and are great sufferers
from old wounds, and so they require
constant medical attendance.
/ To the committee, Lieutenant Schroe-
| der, who was the supposed author of the
letter containing the charges, denied
the authenticity of the letter as it ap-
peared.
The committee suggest that the
| superintendent be made command
ant of the Home, and the physi-
clan be made subordinate to the
superintendent. The report is signed by
| John A. Wildrick, S. V. Department Com
mander; DIR. George T. Ribbed, Medical Di-
rector; Thomas S. Armstrong, George
Barrett, John A. Rodrigo.
There was considerable discussion over
| the subject of holding a summer encamp-
ment this year. The members from the
northern part of the State wanted the en-
campment at the Sehuetzen Park, on
| Union Hin, while those from South Jersey
were in favor of Atlantic City.
| No decision was arrived at when the
meeting adjourned for dinner Afterward
they visited the Schuetzen Park in a body.

APRIL TERN OPENED.
JUDGE KNAPP TELLS THE GRAND
JURY ABOUT SALOONS.

A Big Gathering of Jersey City Lawyers
Luminous Exposition of the Effect of
the New Law Regarding the Sale of
Liquor.
The bench in the court room which
Judge Knapp presides over was ornar
mented with beautiful bouquet, pre-
sented the Judge by "Pop" Cook this
morning. Nearly hundred lawyers
gazed at it, the Oldest of them being
Counsellor Ransom
The opening of the April term of court
brought all the lawyers there. Judge
Paxton was the only Lay Judge on the
bench, because Judge Beach's term of
office has expired and his successor has
not been appointed.
When Sheriff Davis escorted the Grand
Jury into the court room to be sworn it
was announced that James G. Morgan was
foreman He is member of the COM
mission of Equalization of Taxation of
this county.
Judge Knapp told the Grand Jurors to
first investigate, the charges against per-
sons confined in JAIL and to present what
ever indictments they found to the Court
on each Tuesday, because that would sys-
tematize business
He called attention to the change in the
liquor law, saying
"The greatest change in the law is IN
the provision for selling liquor in quanti-
ties from one quart to five gallons
License to do this does not give dealer
right to sell q lesser quantity, and
the premises. To be able to sell legally
and to sell to each kind of a customer,
two licenses are required The law
| goes into effect sixty days after
| the Governor signs it. A violation Of the
| law makes the offense indictable. Under
the new law the Court cannot revoke
| licenses in cities, but no change has
been made in rural districts. In cities
licenses can only be revoked by the mu-
nicipal government The law recently
repealed made The sale, of one glass
of beer on Sunday evidence enough
| to indict the proprietor for keep
ing a disorderly house. Now it must
| be shown that the sale of beer OF liquor
was habitual Violators of the liquor
law may be indicted as before the repealed
law went into effect. The sentiment of the
people as expressed by their Representatives
| in the last Legislature is in favor OF tenn
perance. 1t might be pleasant to have
theatres open on Sunday, but public sentr
ment has not permitted it in this State,
| Judge Knapp called attention to the
presentment made by the last Grand
| jury against the FreeholderS and also
| stated that the last Grand Jury
made presentment which was a
reflection on the county, If true.
For some reason it was unable to get at
| the facts. 1t is 'the duty Of the Grand
Jury to investigate the charges made in
the presentment."
William Sayles, one of the Grand Jur-
ors, informed Judge Knapp that the
1 Grand Juries he had served on heretofore
had declined to indict man that they
thought had been in jail long enough tc
be sufficiently punished and asked fol
instructions The Court said that the
! Grand Jury could discharge no one, but
that recommendation from it would be
| recognised by the Court.

Especial to the jersey City Nesosl
TRENTON, April /, 1889. 9.-Three import
ant bills relating to the Werts Excise law
were introduced in the Senate to-
night. One, presented by Mr.. Bogert
for President Werts, is in the
nature of life boat. 1t provides
that should one section of the law be
declared unconstitutional, the other sec
tions shall stand When the Werts law was
under consideration, 1t was proposed to
deemed preferable to make the enactment
in supplementary bill.
The section involved is, of course, the
Baker amendment Its constitutionality
has been challenged by individuals on the
ground that it provides two methods
cities and boroughs where IL
censes are granted by Common
Councils or other bodies elected by the
people. such bodies determine the rates,
and the popular desire on the subject is
expressed through them, but in towns,
townships, cities and boroughs, where
licenses are granted by the Court OF Com
mon Pleas, provision is made for a vote
of the people SENATOR Baker feels no
anxiety about the section. He considered
the matter when he drew up the amend
ment. and the Attorney General expressed
the opinion to him that II the law passed
last winter was constitutional, and it has
been so decided, the amendment must also
be sustained by the courts. Parallel
cases have been before the courts and the
same principle as is involved in the Baker
amendment has been declared to be in
harmony with the constitution.
A bill introduced by Senator Adrain ex-
empts from the operation of the law bot
tiers of beer who sell by the box, when the
beer is not to be drunk on the premises,
and wine growers are allowed, under the
same condition, to dispose of the products
Of their vineyards in quantities greater
than one quart, without a
lisense. Senator Pfeiffer also
presented bill for the relief of the wine
growers. 1t is claimed in their behalf
that to require them to take out license
would seriously interfere with an import

THEY ARE VERY BAD BOYS.
Two Young Thieves Brought to the Bar
in Justice Stiising's Court.

John King, aged fifteen years, and
James Sparrow, aged thirteen years, both
of No. 29S Henderson street, were
before Justice Stilsing this morning
for larceny. Edward Doyle, who
keeps a grocery store at No. 29S Hender-
son street, complained that on Saturday
night he missed a quantity of canned
goods from his store, and received infor-
nation which led him to have King, who
had been in his employ some time, arrested.
The lad then confessed that he had been
stealing goods from Doyle since the second
day he was in his employ. The goods
which he stole he gave to Sparrow, who
disposed of them.
Young Sparrow's father, who was in the
court, told Justice Stilsing that his son
was incorrigible and he wished
he would put him in the
Reform School. The boy, the police
say, has been petty thief since he was
old enough SO go about by himself, and
once stole watch. The boys were COM
mitted for trial.
