At the very same time that the peo-
pie of Hoboken voted in favor of its
establishment, the citizens of Jersey
City likewise signified their will that
a library should be established for
their use. Orestes Cleveland, who
was then Mayor of Jersey City, APP
pointed trustees to carry out the pro-
ject, and all seemed in train for this
great enterprise of popular pleasure
and improvement.
But at this point the Ring stepped
in. A record was to be made for the
New Charter, and the Hogencamp-
Cleveland Finance Board cut the APP
preparation down to an aDsurdly low
figure in direct violation of the law
for the purpose of taking a lowtax rate.
Just why the trustees have not prose
cuted these derelict fnanciers both
civilly and criminally, we do not
see. They are clearly guilty
of malfeasance in office, and
indeed the Grand Jury ought to take
the subject up on its own account.
Mandamus proceedings-or certiorari
Ought also to be pressed as vigor-
ously as possible to compel a legal APP
preparation in order that the library
may be promptly inaugurated.
1t is n of the many reproaches
which the Davis Ieveland-Hoge
camp gang have brought on the city
that we are years behind our sister
cities in this important matter.

With many tears and sobbs she begged
him to tell her the worst at once. She

of lamentation.

"His wife, replied the doctor gravely,

In Montreal one may buy clothing not
