"HOW THEY VOTED IN MASsACHU.
SETS"

Under this heading the Dallas News
has the following editorial which
should be of general interest. The
agitation of reform in election matters
has borne fruit in changes for the
better in very many states of the
union being made. But there Is much
yet to be done. The next Legislature
should declare for the Australian bal
lot system. It has been tried here in
Austin and with most gratifying re-
sults-it would be a wise move for
Texas to adopt it. Bat the following
editorial goes still step further and
advises change far-reaching but on
the whole we believe wise. 1t reads
as follows:
There we're no Republican or Dem
ocratic ballots, but there was one Off
cial ballot. When a citizen went to
the poll he was given an official ticket
the only kind on which his vote
could be taken. The names of all the
candidates were found printed upon it,
and the following from the Boston
Globe before the election gives an idea
of the application of the Massachu-
sets ballot, which is now in principle
the famous Australian ballot: ga
space is left in the margin, opposite
the name of each candidate, for the
voter to indicate his choice by making
cross (thus, Ky opposite the name OF
his favorite. To vote for Russell for
governor the cross would have to be
placed on the ballot in the position
indicated below:

OF ALL the exhibitions of petty and
mean malice ever heard of that of
pious, prayerful Wanamaker in sus-
pending the lady clerk yesterday for
saying "Quay is dead, his mail goes
to the dead letter Office" is the worst.
The great Democratic victory seems
to have put old satan into Wanna
maker. Yes, Quay is dead, and the
devout Wanamaker is very nearly
politically dead also.

THE INTER-OCEAN, rabid republi-
can, makes the Illinois legislature
even l01 for Democrats and Republi-
cans, with three Alliance men. The
Times-Democrat makes it 100 Repub-
licans and 104 Democrats, counting
the Alliance men with the latter. 1t
is pretty close, but the Democrats
practically have it and will elect the
senator.

The bishop advanced to the altar, which
was lighted by tapers in the ancien,

FALLING BACK ON THE SENATE.

rhbLl4Nu DAWN oN LIE sohANh1b '
AS expected the Republicans now
fall back on the senate, and one of
their opponents, the Globe Democrat,
gently hints that it is a glorious
thing that the senate cannot be
changed to suit the passions and pre-
JUDGES of the hour. True that body
cannot be changed in an hour. But
one thing is most sure, and that is if
the Republican senators will not heed
the roarings of such a storm OF public
opinion as that of last Tuesday, the
people will take vengeance on their
party and sink it to still greater
depths in the abyss of defeat. If
the Republican senators will not listen
to the popular verdict just recorded
then the last chances of electing
Republican president in 1892 are
swept away. The people of the United
States, judging from the result this
week, will not stand any more TOOL
ing,

THE GOLD WAS GONE.
But There is No Suspicion That Mrs.
Eidler Was Burned to Death
by Robbers.

Some sensation mongers have tried to
make it appear that Mrs. Eidler, the
elderly woman who was suffocated in a
fire at No. 18 Humbold street, Union Hill.
on January 9, was murdered, and that
the fire was the work of an incendiary.
These rumors are based on the incoher-
ent allegation of the husband of the
woman, whose mind has been unbal-
anced by his sore affliction. Last Satur-
day night he visited the Office of r. R.
Let's, the agent of the Continental Insur-
ance Company. No. 80 Newark street, in
which company he was insured, and told
his story. No credence was given to it at
the time by the insurance authorities.
and Mr.. Let's is very indignant at
the statements published in the local
paper in which he was supposed
to be interviewed. He says that
he had not conversed with any news
paper man. There was $3.50 in gold
secreted in a glass dish in the closet which
caught fire. After the fire the dish was
found full of water and the money was
missing Mr.. Eidler says that he found
$50 gold piece on the floor Mr.. Let's
thinks that the rest of the money may
yet be found.
The house was occupied solely by the
Eidler family. Mr.. Eidler was at work
at the time of the blaze and his wife at
home alone. The only theory, and that
which THE JERSEY CITY NEWS maintained
is that she was looking in a closet for
some clothing which she ignited, and in
her efforts to save her money waited too
long and was suffocated.

THE PAY OF GRAND JURORS.


Must They Work All Day for a Whole
Days Pay?
The question of paying the Grand Jury
for the work done by its members is caus-
ing trouble. A year ago the Legis-
lature abolished the experiment of
Grand Jury Commission and
adopted law that provided for the pay
ment of 50 day for the services rendered
by the Grand Jurymen. The first Grand
Jury selected under this act was in
structed by Judge Knapp to begin work
at ten O'Clock in the morning and to
remain in session while the court was.
This did not suit the members of
the Grand Inquest, and the fore
man waited on the Judge, and, on
behalf of the Grand Jury, agreed to sac
ritice the 50 per diem If allowed to meet
when the body saw fit. This was acceded
to by the court but at the end of the
term the Grand Jurors presented their
claim for So per day, just as if they had
worked all day at the specified times.
The succeeding Grand Jury were
directed by the Court, in curt language,
to meet at ten O'Clock. The members did
SO for couple of weeks, and then began
the old custom of meeting in the after
noon, for which they charged the county
50 for days work, when in reality they
were only in session about two hours
The present Grand Jury is doing the
same thing, although thus far the mem
bers have not presented their bills tor
service, though they probably will.

THE SURPRISED SCOTS.
Three Resignations rendered by Dis
satisfied Officers.

The meeting of the Scottish-American
Athletic Club last night was exciting
and protracted. President Regan and
ex-Treasurer Hengstenberg submitted
designations from the organization and
DR.. Mcbride asked to be retired from the
Board of Trustees.
The indignant president, in plain and
forcible language, stated that he was dis
pleased at the ingratitude shown in de-
feating for reelection Treasurer Heng-
stenberg, who had been an active and
faithful servant, and had done so much
toward building up the organization and
in advancing the building project.
Ex-TreaSurer Hengstenberg, in his let
preciated and the club did not want him
he would gracefully withdraw. He sub
mitted statement, showing that the
club was free from debt and had bal
ance in bank of $SS9.50.
DR.. Mcbride simply asked to be re-
lieyed from serving as a trustee.
The designations provoked lively dis
cussion. Some advocated the prompt
acceptance of the designations, others
made an earnest defense of the indignant
president and eX-treaSurer, while others
recommended that an effort be made to
bring about reconciliation.
Treasurer John Robbins made brief
address in which he signified his willing
ness to retire from the office rather than
destroy the harmony.
1t was finally decided to appoint COM
mittee to wait upon the three members

at the next meeting of the club. If they
fail the vacancies will be Immediately

Mad Because He Was Left.

This morning Charles Smith, the hus-
band of the woman who horsewhipped
George Miggins, visited the Office Of
Counsellor DAILY in Hoboken to institute
suit for hbelous article which ap-
peared in the Hoboken Neacs of last
night. The article was as follows
FAcT.-Last night, January IS, at eight
o'clock two poorly dressed women and a
drunken man We're squaboling on First street
near the Eagle Hotel The woman ran suddenly
up Hudson street and then dropped whip. She
picked it up and continued her run. The man
followed but failed to catch them. This was
seen by reputable eye witnesses. Perhaps this
man was higgins.
This paragraph was the climax Of the
rawlings of Hoboken Nel0s reporter, who
was beautifully left on the horsewhipping
published exclusively in THE JERSEY
CITY News of the 10Th.
The local paper being squarely beaten.
instead of taxing its medicine, devotes
o half column in a feeble attempt to
cover up its beat The language used in
the article is venomous, and perhaps
libellous when it Indirectly assails the
characters of two respectable women.
The story of the horsewhipping as pub
lished in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS is abso-
lutely true, and higgins bears the marks
of one of the lashes of the whip on his
right hand

The board of Finance.

The Board OF Finance sprang a surprise
on the public last evening by beginning
their meeting almost promptly at the
time designated In consequence there

utes. The Comptroller reported his re-
ceipts to have been during the week $780,

and In Again for Assault.

ployed as still cleaner in one Of the big
oil refineries at Constable Hook, had an
downs of life that seldom falls to the lot
of man.
Within a dozen hours he became a
bridegroom and found himself prisoner
twice upon serious charges. Annie
Sharkey, plain-looking nipeteen-year-
old damsel of Constable Hook, who lives

Justice of the Peace P. w. Connolly, of
Bayonne. charging him with having be-
trayed her last September under prom
Use Of marriage. William was arraigned
for examination, and Overseer Of
the Poor Rienzi Cadugan pressed
the h;,,,s charge: o,d Annie said that il
for the injury done her by agreeing to
make her Mrs. Givens she would be sat
isfied. William said that it was imma-
terial to him whether or not he became
Benedict. Justice Connolly and Poormas-
ter Cadugan consented to drop the case
ii the young couple got married.
William accordingly accompanied An
ME to the rectory of St. Mary's Star of
the Sea r. G. Church and the Rev. Father
Thomas M. Killen tied the knot. After
the ceremony the pair left each other
without a word and went in opposite
directions. Last evening Givens cele-
brated his marriage by going on spree.
He encountered Hngh Sharkey,
cousin of his wife. A quarrel ensued,
Hugh was assaulted and William was
arrested. This morning Recorder Besher

Juloski, known among the Erie Railroad
employees as John Ollin, in company with

They took seats and Juloskis friend fell
asleep. Juloskf commenced an argument
with the proprietor about the wife of
Juloski's sons immoral relations with
another man during mis- sons confinement

proprietor disputed with him as to the
penalty of the crime.

him off, and Juloski grabbed for glass
on the bar, but Zalinsk1 pushed
him away again and put the beer glasses
beyond his reach. Mrs. Zalinski came in
from an adjoining room. She and her
husband ordered Juloski out.
The man asleep got up and walked to
the door. Juloskie grabbed up a heavy
seltzer bottle from the end of the bar,
and called Mrs. Zalinskie improper
names.
The latter walked over to him and,
opening the door, told him to get out, and
attempted to take the bottle
from his hands, when Juloskie

effect of the bright colors and soft light
was most agreeable.
In the centre of the hall was tall
Christmas tree hung with abnormally
large oranges of artificial make, which,
upon being opened, disclosed two pres
ents of value and one not quite SO costly.
An excellent entertainment was given
during the evening, in which an excel
lent duet was played upon the piano by
the Misses Mulrheid. Miss Hogan, OF
New York, niece of Judge Hogan, also
played in an artistic manner, and Miss
Lou Cozzens, in Gypsy costume, assisted
by Master Herbert NEWMAN, agreeably
entertained the audience. Miss Nellie
Bonynge's piano solo was much admired,
and Miss Daisy Balleu cleverly recited
several selections.
The entertainment was under the aus
pices of the Daughters of the Church, an
organization Of young ladies, whose aim
is to interest the young people in the
work of the Church.
1t was under the management of Mrs.
