1t is pleasant to see Mr.. Henry
Byrne making an effort to clean
Montgomery street, but it is not
pleasant to have Mr.. Henry Byrne do
that laudable work in the middle of
the forenoon. This morning at ten
o'clock one of Mr.. Byrne's horse
sweepers was scattering dust and filth
in every direction on the blocks from
the ferry to Washington street. Mr..
Byrne's men had not even taken the
trouble to sprinkle the street before
sweeping. Offices were filled with
dust, merchants goods ruined, while
pedestrians sneezed, coughed and
swore. Take example from New
York, Mr.. Byrne, and sweep the bust
ness streets at night. You won't be
so obtrusive and people will like you
better.

Two Rings-A Comparison.

Although a better organized or
more colossal gang OF political
thieves than the Tweed Ring eve
existed, yet thing may be said to
their credit-they created improve
ments which started New York's
wonderful career of development.
New York would not be today what
it is had it not been for the Tweed
Ring. What they created they ere
ated well. Their ideas were large,
progressive, liberal. They built a
great court house; they opened up
the whole northern part of the island
by the magnificent ~boulevards they
cut through, these boulevards are to-
day New York's only pleasure
drives. They laid good p~avements;
they improved the fire and police de-
partments; in fact the Tweed Ring

not be vouched for. One of the batch
was named Danforth, a farmers so

Mr.. Bill H~ogencamp's Grip-WiII
Cleveland Veto the Trust Com
pany Resolution

H GA1
We hear that Mr.. Bill Hogencamp
is very angry because the Board of
Finance has dared to transfer one o
its accounts from the Hudson County
Bank to the Title Guarantee and
Trust Company, and he has ordered
his tool, the Acting Mayor, to veto the
resolution. Mr.. Bill Hogencamp is of
opinion that if any transferring was
to be done, it should be in favor D
the Argus Bank. He naturally fearsf
too, that the opening OF an account
for the city with a conservative,
we'll managed institution will, in the
long runybreak the grip which he and
his bank have upon the city finances
and the city government.
We are very curious to see whether
His Fraudulency will dare to veto the
resolution. If he does. it will be a
strange Illustration of the fatal con-
troll which Mr.. Bill Hogencamp ex-
ercises over him. Doubtless MI.
Cleveland will endure agonies of soul
as he outrages all reason and justice.
But when the master speaks, the
slave must obey. What is the source
of this terrible power? Do the reve-
lations of the enquiry regarding Mrs.
Cleveland's Dixon Crucible Stock
throw any side light on the mystery?
There must be something very black
hidden away between these men,
which thus subjects the will of the
one to that of the other.
But whether the Mayor vetoes the
resolution or not, the Board of FL
nance should stick to its guns. 1t
should insist on giving the Guarantee
Company a fair apportionment of the
city's business, as a matter of justice
to that Institution, and as an addi-
tional safeguard to the city. The
coupon account, too, is a very suita-
BILE n TO entrust to it. But, the
Board of Finance should com plete its
good work by a readjustmen of the
other accounts, in which the Hudson
County Bank should be compensated
for the business taken away from it.
A transfer Of reasonable amount
should be made from the
Second National Bank to it. This
would tend to equalize both adj
fantages and responsibilities and
1T would besides relieve certain
members of the Board of Finance of
the very painful aspersions which IRE
so often cast upon them of being un-
der Mr.. Bill H~ogencainp's control,
like the fraud Mayor who appointed
them. We have never attached any
special credence to these disagreeable
stories, and we hope the gentlemen
affected will take the present oppor-
tunity of setting them at rest forever.
Mr.. Bray's position is one Of peculiar
delicacy. He is a director of the
Second National Bank, and the move
ment for the equalization of accounts
would come with peculiarly good
grace from him.

leaders were men of brains, though
great rascals. They robbed the com
munity right and left to pay for these
improvements; the taxpayer groaned
under his burdens, but at the same
time pointed out with pride to his
country cousin, the fine venue and
magnificent buildings all about him.
The Tweed Ring were shrewd enough
to know that they could rob the pub
lie just so long as they could show the
public some return for its money.
They played on the local pride andpro-
gressive ideas of the public. At last
they became too bold and fell. They
left an enormous debt, but they left
something to show for it. New York
today points with pride to the Gre
ations of the Tweed Ring.
But turn to our own ring ridden
city. You may justly say it has been
controlled by the Cleveland Ring for
years, for it passeth the memory of
man when Orestes Cleveland has not
been the central figure of the gang
who have robbed its treasury and
made it the laughing stock and by
word among the communities of the
country. What has Jersey City to
point to with pride? Nothing. How
is she regarded? AS the sink hole of
creation, the dumping ground Of a lot
of railroads, next to Long Island
City the foulest blot on Gods
earth. Governed by the meanest,
commonest small fry gang of
corrupt politicians that ever dis
graced q community. Hundreds
of thousands, yes, millions of dollars
spent and not a thing to show for it.
Robbed for years by this gang and
not a public building worthy of the
name; not a single street well paved;
a fire department d~emoralized by a
ward boss; a City Hall overrun with
petty of1ceholders; dirt and filth
everywhere; elections that are the
wonder of the nation in their corrup-
ton. This is what the Cleveland
Ring has done for Jersey City, gentle
men and taxpayers. You groan under
your taxes and you'll groan harder
when the next levy is announced, but
when your country cousin ZONES to
visit you, have you anything TO point
out to him? No, you put him on a
ferry boat, take him to the top of a
high building in New York, wave
your hand and say isn't this grand?
and carefully keep his back turned
to Jersey City.
1t is time to remedy this. People
do not expect public work to be donel
as cheaply as private work. They
expect to be robbed, but they prefer
to pay a big price for a good thing
rather than a big price for nothing at
all.
There is one remedy and only one
remedy. Get rid of Orestes Cleveland
and the corrnpting influences that
exude from every pore of the skin that
covers his corrupt heart.

PARALYZED BYASPLINTER
A Little Scratch That Almost Cost a
Soldier His Life.

81 have read of men being para
lyzed by a wound and unable to
move said a well known prominent
Maine Office holder, s'and | believe it.
l know that there have been many
cases of the kind, and one of them in
particular has such a personal twist
that | have good reason to remember.
II was at the battle Of Chantilly in
the early part of the fight. We had
approached a low rambling fence-a
Virginia fence, as they are called
and | had my gun through it and was
doing what service l could. / saw
the splinter fly from a piece of that
fence under the impulse of a ball
from the enemy.
SIN the lightning flash of the flying
wood | seemed to find time to dodge,
and then there was a quick pain like
the soaring of a hot iron, and the
splinter was through my hat band
and along my scalp, penetrating it,
but not injuring the skull.
1.-The blow was severe and stunned
me, and | remember well my last look
at the scene-uhe fighting troops, the
smoke, the battle and the tralnpling
men.
II fell back, my legs half doubled
up beneath me, and iii a moment my
strength was gone and | was power
less. j saw everything. Men fell
upon men. Men trampled upon me.
Horses reared around me. The battle
was on all sides.
my wits were clear, my brain un-
clouded, but there was /, dying a
death momentarily, alive, yet dead
and suffering more t~ortures than l
thought life could have. 1 lay there
perhaps half an hour-every moment
a year of agony-when | felt some
ones hand on my collar, and | was
dragged out and turned on my face,
where | lay for a moment as someone
rified my cartridge box.
THE motion saved me. My pulse
seemed to stir, my heart to beat. my
will to re-exert itself, and in a few
minutes | vas myself. The wound
was so small that / stanched it with
my handkerchief and in half an hour
| vas as well as ever.
IF the hand had not found my
coat collar | should have been bleach
ing my bones ON Chantilly at this
moment instead of here talking to
you, and it would have been tough
to have passed in on sucha scratch.n
