The Board of Finance held a brief ses
sion yesterday afternoon. President
Edelstein and Commissioner Hitler were
absent. 1t was said that President Edel-
stein had the grippe, and in his absence
Commissioner Allen presided. The Mayor
informed the Board that in accordance
with the provision Of an act of the Legis-
lature, approved April IS, 1887, he had APP
pointed as commissioners for securing
proper accommodations for the transac-
ton of public business, John Pierson, of
No. los Storm avenue; Emil Datz, of No
5sS jersey avenue, and James Burke. of
No. lis Hoboken avenue. The nominal
ton were laid over until the next meet
ing.
The Comptroller reported that he had
received during the past week s9s. $50. g.
The Tax Commissioners asked for con-
currence in the appointment of James L.
Kelly and Robert Regain as clerks in
their office at a salary of $50 per month.
These nominations also went over.
The resolutions OF the Board of Street
and Water Commissioners awarding the
contracts for the Van Horn street. Nep-
time avenue and Union street improve
ments were concurred in. Commissioner
Kenny wanted all the claims which had
been referred to the Board from other
Boards carefully investigated in order to
ascertain whether any or part OF any of
them had been paid before. His request
was granted.
The bond of Dennis Burns, the con-
tractor for the Payonia avenue sewer,
was approved
The Board was about to adjourn when
the announcement was made that the
Chief of the Fire Department was present
with something he would like to say to
the commissioners. He was granted the
privilege of the floor, and said that he
wished TO call the attention of the Board
to resolution of the Fire Board request
Ing the FinancieFs to make some arrange
ment whereby one OF the steam ire
engines could be rebuilt

mas been In use fifteen years and cannot,

The city has only bought one engine in
seventeenyears.
The first one which came to Jersey
City twenty-six years ago is still In use
and we have less apparatus in porpor-
ton than we had nineteen years ago.
The chiefs eiequence was irresistible
and the Board Immediately authorized
the Finance Committee to borrow 81 500
on temporary loan bonds at AZ per cent.
TO be placed in the next tax levy for the
purpose of having the spare engine re-
built. Then they adjourned subject to
the call of the chair.

FILIBUsTERING IN CONGRESS-.

The past few days have seen specta-
Gle in congress not often paralleled.
On the one side was Speaker Reed. firm,
gentlemanly and patient, on the other n
Democratic minority sullen, bent on
revolution and exhausting themselves
with the repel yell. The case at issue
was simply this: The Republicans have
a narrow majority in Congress. AL.

ponents it is sometimes difficult to OBJ
tain party quorum. In case the roll
call disclOses mo quorum" call of the
House may be ordered and members

| has been claimed. and the claim has
heretofore been allowed, that l. case
there is less than quorum of the ma
jority, a handful of the minority may
prevent tie transaction of business by
refusing to vote when motion is put or
a bill is on its passage, and thus in eff
feet declare themselves to be absent, and
that they may also answer to the very
next roll call to max aquorum. Thus,
it would be possible, until the minority
secured its own quorum, for half a
dozen men, or even for single repre-
sentative of the minority, to obstruct
business for an indefinite period. Ger
tainly very silly and illogical condi-
ton of affairs, and one that would not
be tolerated a moment in any cooperation;
aid scarcely by any deliberative assem-
bly,.
Speaker Reed defends himself and re-
plies his critics in the following coura.
geous and strong language:
"Mr. Carlisle was entirely right when
he said 10 SUBSTANCE that the deci.i n uf

of the House was present would change

We copy these notes from The Earth
paper published in Burlington, this
state: 1.-The fact that the prohibltory
law is broken and evaded Is not sufficient
reason for its repeal. All laws are detied
by the lawless and criminal classes, and
yet nobody but an anarchist thinks he
could do as well with, ut them" And
if it is not enforced it is simply the fault
of those whose duty it is tn guard against
its infrsction. No law can be formulated
that will prevent the use of liquor in all
cases, but it can keep it out of the sight
and easy reach of the young, whose
habits have not been formed; and that
is an important consideration. :" 1T has
been proved that the saloon influence il
a most dangerous element in politics and
yields power for evil that is almost
irresistible. The freer any community
can be from such pernicious influences
the better" 1.-THE meeting was great
success as far as numbers were concern
ed. but the sober minded ci.izans # the
state will not readily give adhesion to
the saloon element"

An examination of the Federal Con-
siitutioD also goes to show the justice Of
the late Republican contention in Con-
gress and to sustain Speaker Red.
The Contribution declares that m4jor-
'ty Of each House "shal constitute a
quorum to do business" 1t does no,
say that every member of the quorum
shall actually be doing business. II
that principle we're applied large part
OF the legislation enacted would be in.
valid But the Constitution further says
that "a smaller number may adjourn
from day to day AMI may be authorized
TO compel the attendance OF absent mem
bars." Will any one seriously argue that
the founders Of the republic, when they
framed that article, Intended that il
should bp nullified by a simple refusal of
the ansentee memb re- to vote, after they
had been brought in ? or what use is it
70 provide that absent members may be-
brought 10 to constitute a quorum to do
