NEW
Tho Forum For December.

Inc forum Fof D8ceHtbcEs
The December number of the Forum
contains an article on THE Govern
ment of American Cities" by Andrew
w. White, wherein he shows that the
weakest point OF American govern
ment is the management of municipal
affairs. He doints out in what ways
we fall short of all the European gov
ernments in this particular. Mr..
White has endeavored to make a
thorough analysis OF the subject. and
he indicates a remedy as well as the
cause of the evil.
Jules Simon, of the French Senate,
contributes an article on 1.-THE Sta
bility of the French Republic"
wherein he reviews all the leading
influences that lend stability as well
as those that have been detrimental
to the present government.
President Eliot, of Harvard, writes
of Family Stocks in a Democracy
an essay in which he maintains that
democratic society Is more favorable
for the founding and maintenance OF
sturdy and enduring families than
aristocratic society; and he points out
the conditions of stable family-growth
in the United States.
President w. A. p. Martin, of the
Royal Tung Weng College. China,
writes, with the experience of long
residence in the Celestial Kingdom,
about the supposed danger of China's
competition with Western nations.
He finds no menace" in the Chinese,
and he points out the astonishing fact
that there are great provinces oil
Chinese territory yet SO sparsely
settled that they are making efforts to
induce immigrants.
Representative w. M. Springer
publishes results OF the census, some
of which have not before been made
public, showing the ratio of the in
crease in population in cities and in
rural districts in several parts of the
country. In some States the popu'
lation Of the rural districts has abso-
lutely decreased, and in very few
States has there been any large in
crease in the rural population; but
during the last decade nearly the
whole increase has been in towns anc
cities. MI. Springer shows the bear
ing of this on political parties during
the coming decade.

FIXING THE DAMAGES.
The Pennsylvanias Attempt to Cross the
Central at Newark.
Special to the Jersey city Ne,o,.

Special to the JERSEY city Nelcs.
NEWARK, Dec. l, 1s9o.-A fortnight ago
Judge Depue appointed Amzi Dodd. John
NJ. Gwinnell and Joseph L. Mum as com
missioners to assess damages for the
crossing of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
over property on the meadows" There
was some surprise that men OF so much
prominence shoul have been selected to
condemn lands, but an examination of
the case showed that it involved a con-
test between the Lehigh Valley and Penn
sylvania railroads on one side, and the
New Jersey Central on the other.
The Commission held its first meeting
on Friday. and after visiting the place of
the proposed crossing began the taking of
testimony. Ex-Chancellor Williamson
appeared tor the New Jersey Central, and
Messrs. McCarter and Williamson for
the Lehigh Valley. 1t appears that last
spring, the Lehigh Valley and Pennsylva-
MA attempted to cross the New Jersey
Central's Elizabeth branch on the mead
ows. The Central one Saturday night
got a couple of old engines and broker
down fiat cars, ran them TO the place of
the crossing and dumped them into the
meadow, in the path of the work. Then
the case went into court, and commits
sioners to ascertain damages and "to set
tie the matter" as one counsel expressed
1T, were eventually selected.
After some testimony had been taken
on Friday and some lively sparing had
occurred between counsel, the case was
| adjourned for e fortnight, TO allow the
Central to complete its maps and get
witnesses. Several hundred dollars have
already been spent in preparing surveys
aud making other preparations for the
case. While the commissioners will
make an early report. the case will un-
doubtedly be appealed. E~x-Chancellor
Williamson tho fFanrraltG oorncQl ia nntU
over eighty years old, bur his mental ac-
tiyity and plausibiIIty are not less re-
markable than at any time in the sixty
years of his New Jersey practice.

Hard Lines. Indeed.

1t is said with no idea of prejudg-
ing the case, but II all that has been
told in excuse OF Frank Richardson's
killing Of Costigan be true, it seems
hard that he must be kept in Jail and
away from the support of his family
till he shall have been tried for his
act. The inexorable theory Of the
law is that no amount of bail car
bind a man to await possible death;
and so the release OF one awaiting
trial for murder is not permitted.
However complete his defence may
be, Richardson must, therefore, stay
behind the bars till the Grand Jury
shall have indicted him and the Petit
Jury set him free-if that is to be the
outcome of the proceedings against
him.
This is hard lines on a man merely
defending his wife against the insults
81 q gang that had picked her out for
persecution. It's a pity that some
methods could not be devised for the
abatement Of the rigors of the legal
form in such cases. No man should
suffer punishment for giving to his
family the protection that he is ex-
pected to extend.
Perhaps the Grand Jury now in
session may defer its final adjourn
ment to consider this case in order
that Richardson may be returned to
the care of his home as soon as pos
sible.

Amer:can Women and Diamonds.

Wearing diamonds when walking or
driving in the streets has long been a
standing reproach against the Amer
car girl, says the GaiignanS Messen-
ger. 1t is to be so no longer. Hence
forth, under pain of being considered
vulgar, she is to appear bedecked in
her dazzling gems only at night. This
is an excellent innovation, and one
that ought to be strictly adhered to.
Diamonds never look well in the day
light, and when worn between the
hours OF sunrise and sunset there is an
unmistakable air OF pride of wealth.
and ostentation about them which
does not sit well upon the American
oma 1t has often been said that
''ali women love diamonds and it is
very probable that the majority do,
but the indulgence of that love should
always be reserved for their private
apartments until the gas has been lit
or the electric light turned on. There
is no surer indication of the progress
of good, old fashioned refinement
than the news that even in the West
ern cities the wearing of jewelry in
public places during the day has been
taboOed.
