O'NEILL'S QUEER BILLS.
One Killed, One Advanced, and New
One introduced.
(speciaI 70 the Jerseg oitg Nelrs)

Especial TO the Jersey City Netus)
TRENTON, March 13, 1889. Wait till you
hear Assemblyman O'Neill when he takes
the stump in Jersey City next fall. He is
getting to be great orator. Today he
made several speeches for the bill requir-
ing engineers to be licensed. A reference
in one of them to doctors brought down
the House The bill was defeated, not be-
cause the principle was objected to, but
because of some provisions in it. The Re
publicans found fault with it because it
would create seven new offices which they
could not get, and some Democrats
thought that the method of licensing en-
gineers was defective The bill was pre-
pared by the labor organizations. Mr.
Farrell, who introduced it, will try to get
another bill throug if he has time.
O'Neill introduced another bill reducing
the charges for electric lights. The rates
are the same as were fixed in the bill de-
feated last week, but the measure applies
only to frst-class cities. Mr.. O'Neill hopes
in this way to avoid the opposition of the
members who want to protect the electric
light companies in their towns. His
dressed beef bill was reported favorably
from the Committee ON Corporations. It
permits Boards of Health to appoint
veterinary surgeons as inspectors.
The bill increasing the Jersey police
force was ordered to n third reading.

CHIN CHIN ABOUT All SIN.
There May BE Trouble Ahead for Mclean
Man in the FIowery Realm.

Man in the TIowery Realm.
[By Gable to the United Pressl
LONDON, March IA, 1Ss9-From events
that have recently transpired it must be
obvious to the American public that the
British and American interests in China
are no longer so closely allied as they have
been for nearly a century past. The
millions spent in India for rail
ways, cross country roads, and the de
velopment of tea cultivation are begin
ming to yield England return and her
trade with China in the near future may
. be almost completely overland. With the
dwindling of the tea imports from the
Celestial Empire comes minor feeling of
interest as to keeping up the integral
status of the treaty poets.
British men-of-war, it may be said, have
long sustained the freedom of these har-
bors and it is now really for the interest
of Great Britain that they should be closed.
Assam tea has greatly superseded the
Chinese article in England, and if the
trade in Chinese tea could be forced
altogether through India the handlers and
shippers of the latter country could prin-
cipally control the home market, for only
the United States seems to have appre-
ciated japanese tea.
The silk and opium traffic would follow
in the path of an overland route, and to
America and France would be leTt the
task of keeping open the seaports through
which Chinese commerce has hitherto
been conducted
The hatred long borne to the English by
the Chinese may not be diminished but
with the withdrawal of the former the
dislike to the outside barbarians will be
concentrated upon those who remain.
The naval prestige of the Americans is
small and the feeble state of their marine
is accurately known to the Chinese.
There will be an opportunity of retalia-
ton for the abuse and prohibitory laws by
which the sons of the Celestial Empire.
have suffered in America, and the recent
riots at Chin Kiang will be but a prelude
to more vigorous action against foreign
foothold in China.
The coincidence of these demonstra-
tions with the nuptials of the young
Emperor is significant
The advisers of the monarch are reac-
tionary in the fullest sense of the word,
and once the fiat is given that the foreign
ers must go, they will have hard work to
support themselves, even at such old estab-
lished places as Canton, Shanghai and
Hong Kong.
As it will be to the interest of British
merchants to interrupt American trade
there may be sudden accession of philan-
thropical feeling to the effect that the poor
Chinese have been bullied long enough
and should be left to manage their own
affairs

Reforms That, 1t Is Claimed,
Will Be Accomplished
by the Pending
Charter.
VIEWS OF LEADING CITIZENS.
Some Think 1t Will Be a Good
Thing and Others That 1t Will
Not Be So Good.

In order to learn what specific reforms
can be accomplished by the passage OF the
new charter for this city, gentleman
who is well posted was sought for an in
terview yesterday afternoon.
"The first great reform, +" he said, would
be the breaking up of the contractors
rings that now hover about the Board OF
Works 1t is frequently the case that
contractor puts in bid with first-class
sureties, but when the award is made to
him and the contract comes to be drawn,
entirely different bondsmen are offered,
leaving the corporation attorney to accept
or reject them. 1t is an onerous, unpleas-
ant duty which he desired to avoid.
"Again the contractors begin work as
soon as the award is made without any
contract having been even drawn up, and
in some cases the entire work is completed
before the contract is signed. Under this
bill (Section 13) no contractor shall begin
any work or involve the city in any eX-
pense whatever until the contract has
been duly signed and the youchmen have
been approved by the Board OF Finance.
''The bill also provides for the inspection
of streets and sewer improvements under
contract. Under the present system the
inspection is farce and fraud. There
has not been single street paved nor a
sewer built in Jersey City for years, ac-
cording to the specifications in the con-
tract.
Another reform will be the method of
assessing for taxes. The result will be an
equalization of assessments, a very large
increase in the saleables and consequent
decrease in the rate of taxation. The
assessment books will be open every bust
ness day to the inspection of the public:
"Another reform will be the repaving
and reconstruction Of streets and side
walks already paved. One-half of all
moneys received for licenses are set aside
for that purpose. OF the remaining half
of the license fund one -half-or one
quarter Of the whole-is set aside for the
construction of public school buildings.
.Under this bill the Board of Tax Com
sioners, who will take the place of the
present assessors, will be the commission
ers of appeal in cases of taxation. One of
the important provisions gives power to
the new Board of Street and Water Com
missioners to compel the repair of side
walks. The condition Of our sidewalks
has been crying evil and disgrace to
Jersey City for twenty years"
