depreciation of the law seems to have
left the Board of Aldermen no escape
from the reappointment OF the cleo
ton officers of last fall, and last even
ing the whole list of officers was re-
appointed. It Is to be regretted that
the law gave the city authorities no
option in the matter. The statutes
were framed, of course, without rel
taking into account the possibility of
the existence OF so shocking a state of
affairs as has been revealed by the in
designations at Trenton. If the crisis
that has arisen could have been fore
seen it would no doubt have been
amply provided against.
Now that their reappointment has
been forced, there is no visible way
out OF the difficulty except for the
tainted officials to resign. Ordinary
regard for the common decencies of
life should prompt them, in a body, to
lay down their offices. and make way
other men. They have, for the most
part been negligent. to say the least,
in the discharge Of their official duties.
Some of them displayed the most pal
pable incompetency. If nothing more
than this had been shown against
them, they should not insist upon i'm
posing themselves upon the people
again.
They owe it to the men whose favor
put them in their places; they owe il
to the public whose confidence they
have abused; they owe it to them
selves to resign at once. The com

For Mayor, Robert Davis-A Word to
the Delegates.

the Delegates.
The delegates to the Mayoralty Con-
vsntion were chosen last evening at
fhe several ward primories. We believe
tlat.they are for the most part good
Democrats and true, anxious above
all things for the success of the party
in the coming election.
On this assumption, we wish to
address one or two questions to them.
We wish to ask them if they think
the circumstances of the hour justify
them in taking any risks2 We wish
to ask them whether they do not
think it their duty to nominate a man
who will bring out the solid strength
of tho Democratic voters of this city?
We ask them if they see the signs Of
the times--the confidence of the Re-
publicans, their organization, the
movement of the Independent voters
to their side?
When they have cogitated over
these questions, we ask them to con
slider this one, Who is the mar for
the situatlon2 Who can carry the
Democratic workers and voters with
him, and overthrow the Republican
candidate, and render the county and
thus the State secure to tho Demo
cratic party2
We ask them whether Robert Davis
is not that man?
He is the leader of the party in this
section, He commands the conf
dence-the devotion Of the rank and
file Of the party. He will bring out
their full strength at the polls, and
with that he will be secure of
victory.
# there is wisdom among the dele
gates, Robert Davis will be the Demo.
cratic candidate for Mayor, and If he
is the candidate he will be elected.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1890-03-26

THE Democratic leaders ought to
take note of the mines that the Re
publicans are preparing to spring on
them. Mr.. Perkins return home, we
are told, will not take place until Sat
urday. The Democratic convention
will take place or that day. II an
unpopular nomination be made, the
Republicans hope to convert Mr.. Per-
kins' arrival into a great popular ova-
ton. That is No. /.
Besides, the Senate Investigating
Committee is coming to jersey City
next week to take testimony regard
ing the election frauds. That will be
the Republican campaign. Every eff
fort the Democracy makes will be
matched with the exhibition of an
election rascal squirming ON the grid
iron Of cross-examination.
II the party does not show a resolve
to set all evil traditions and evil temp
tations behind it, and nominate a
Mayor who will rule in the peoples
interests, how can it expect to Offset
these formidable tactics.
Gentlemen, beware. There is a tor
nado breaking loose somewhere.

Women Depositors.

-
Women Depositors.
A cashier in a Chicago bank recently
said to a newspaper MANIA man in
a bank is not allowed to talk about
its business, and | reckon that's right.
But what you have just been saying
prompts me to tell you something
under cover. There isn't one deposl-
tor in 200 who will allow his wife to
check against his money. Occasionally
a man leaving town will come in and
ask us to honor his wife's check TO a
certain amount.
A woman doesn't seem to have any
sense about money in a bank unless
she is her own depositor, and then she
is apt to be a good deal of a nuisance.
She will come down shopping, for in
stance. She buys a bill at one house
for thirteen dollars and eight-nine
cents, and she give a check for that
sum-. She makes purchases at another
house to the amount OF three dollars
and thirty-nine cents and she gives a
check for that. And she goes on shop
ing a half day, giving a check for
every purchase. The next day she
comes to the bank and wants to know
if the checks have been presented, and
then she wants to knowif we can't bal
ance up her book; she wants to know
how she stands.
Women depositors, fortunately, are
few. Most women prefer to keep their
money in a safety deposit vault, where
they can go and look at it and count
it for their own comfort. | know n
bank presidents wife in this city who
has her own money which her husband
allows her. She won'tdeposit it in his
bank, and he told her one day he was
glad of it. She has her own tin box
in a safety deposit vault.
Fricassee of Chicken.
Cut the chicken in pieces and leave
them in cold water for two or three
hours to blanch, then strain off the
water. Put in a saucepan a piece of
butter and a spoonful of -four, stir till
the butter is melted. moisten with a
glass of water, add salt, white pep
per, a pinch of grated nutmeg, a bou-
quiet of parsley and some chives. Add
the pieces of chicken and cook three
quarters of an hour, then take them
out and thicken the sauce with three
yelks OF eggs. and add some lemon
juice or vinegar. To keep the flesh
of the chicken white it must be rub
bed with lemon juice, and during the
cooking the pan should be covered
with a buttered paper placed on the
~fricassee inside the pan.

Women Telegraphers in Russia.

Really the Russian powers that be are
too hard on the young women employed
in their telegraph offices. 1t appears
that on entering the service they are
only admitted on the condition that
they will marry Oily such men as are
employed in the same work as them
selves, and that if the husband should
happen to be i'll she will take his place,
besides retaining her own. A few days
ago the young ladies made up their
minds to bear such tyranny no longer,
and sent in humble petition to the
heads of the service demanding re-
lease from the law which condemns
them to celibacy if they do not choose
to marry one of their male colleagues.
An answer to the petition has not yet
been granted, and if the matter is taken
in hand with the elaborate sluggishness
which distinguishes Russian ofticialdom,
a good deal of water will have flown
down the Neva before the matter is set

about s inches wide, and the inclined

this rack will correspond with the length
of the boards used in constructing it,

for every foot of running length, but
for large sheep about 16 inches are re-

A modification of this rack is made by
covering tight with boards the part OF
the Stats over the heads of the sheep,
thus preventing the hay-seed from
dropping down on their heads and wool.
An advantage is likewise gained by
separating the spaces for the sheep
from each other by mailing an inch
board upright for each space, leaving
seven inches opening for each sheep,
and thus allowing sixteen inches for
each, which would be required for large
breeds. (The upright boards at each end
would of course be only half as wide as
the Others.
