This pope Is democratic IN principles
and Is Independent I'M Its Uieics on all
local questions.
Mr.. OtNeilrs Position "A Wanton
Attack.
II the Republican Aldermen can
down the Democrats and appoint
their own committees, nobody can
find fault with them. We may con-
denim the Democrat who enables them
to do it; but assuredly they are acting
within their rights.
1t is q wholly different matter when
they turn their political warfare into
a personal attack upon an. individual.
We have no sympathy whatever with
the raid which is in contemplation
against Alderman ONeiii. 1t appears
to us unfair and uncalled for. Mr..
O'Neill has held the Offices Of Alder
man and City Collector for months,
and nobody has complained; now that
there is a little trouble the Republi-
can aldermen, as we showed yester-
day, propose to make Mr.. O'Neill the
special scapegoat. Why this should
be done we cannot see. Mi. O'Neill
has fought fair, and if the Republic
cans have any just ground for com
plant it certainly is not at his hands.
It looks to us very much as if they
were afraid of him. As d tactician he
is too much for them in the Board,
and they would drive him out if they
could.
There appears to be nc legal ground
for their position, however. THE
JERSEY Cry NEWS quoted yesterday
the act under which they propose to
move. Read by any fair minded man
it would be plain that it has no bear
ing on Mr.. O'NeilIs position. The law
was framed to prevent the corrupt
abuse Of aidermanic powers in the mat
ter of contracts and bargains for work
and supplies for city purposes. The
limitations of its application are very
clearly stated. 1t specifies ''any con-
tract, work, business, sale or pur-
chase" There is not a court in the
world which would consider the ten
ure Of a public Office as coming under
any Of these heads.
Furthermore the law expressly pro-
vides the remedy in case of violation
of its provisions. 1t is by Indictment
or impeachment. There is not one
sentence to justify the pretence that
the Aldermen can declare the seat
vacant.
The exposure of the scheme in The
JERSEY Cry News caused great an
noyance to its fabricators. They
hoped to spring it as a surprise, and
perhaps Mr.. O'Neill into a hasty
resignation, Of get a resolution
through, declaring his seat vacant,
before the Democrats had a chance
to realize the situation. These
hopes being baffled, it is doubt
full whether the whole idea will
not be dropped. At any rate, the
plot is no longer formidable, since it
was only through a surprise that ii
corild have any effect.

slider that oppression and defiance
of law should be punished, no matter
where they are found. Under ordinary
circumstances this tendency would
give the Democracy such adj
vantage that a maj GRITTY in
both houses would be assured. But
there is another influence at work,
intimately connected with the one we
have mentioned but of Numerically
opposite effect. This is the influence
of the hideous corruption which
controls Democratic politics in
this county. 1t is useless to
ignore, to conceal, to deny
the existence of this corruption
or its ruinous effect. To do so is to
play the part Of the ostrich, hiding
its head in the sand. The thing exists.
| The whole State knows it exists, and
Democratic newspapers simply make
, themselves idiotic when they deny it.
The time has about arrived when
the people at home and abroad will
no longer endure this state of things.
Our own citizens i'll this city and
county have already risen against it.
In four out of the six districts of Jer-
sey Clty-ignoring for the present the
fraud districts-they signified their
disgust in unmistakable fashion in
the mayoralty election. Since that
time the anger and hatred of the
people against the ring has increased
a hundred fold. There is not a
shadow of hope that Democratic As
semblymen could be elected from
these districts under the present
leadership of the party.
Outside Hudson, the wrath against
the Hudson ring is even greater than
it is at home. The Hudson ring-the
Jersey City ring, it ought to be called
lis today the issue in our State poll
ties, and it will remain the issue in
the November election if the ring is
still in existence.
This is the point both for State and
local leaders to reflect upon. Are
they willing to go into the next cam
paign with the crimes Of the elections
of November and April tied
like a milestone about their
necks. Do the ring leaders them
selves think they will save any power
by doing so. We think such a course
theatens disaster all around, for if the
Legislature goes to the Republicans,
the Jersey City Charter will be re-
pealed, and a drastic course of legisla-
ton will be adopted, not TO purge the
corruption Of Hudson alone, but to
thoroughly Repub1icanize it and per-
haps the whole State.
There is the danger. What is the
remedy2 When on a previous occa-
sion, erroneous management had
brought the Democracy of Hudson
into trouble, it's supremacy was
saved by reorganization and by
new and better leadership. The
same course is opeE now. Will
the men who have the fate Of the
party in their hands have the courage
and spirit to follow the old example.
Their downfall is impending anyway.
Had they not best step out themselves
and retain the influence which devo-
ton confers, rather than lose every
thing in headlong defeat +?

The Mayor's Inaugural,

From the inaugural address of Mayor
Melcher it appears that during the past year
the city debt was reduced about $4,000.
The coming year is not likely to make so
good financial showing as the past one, by
reason of certain extraordinary expenditures,
some of which certainly it is not within the
power of the municipality to avoid. The
free text book law, passed by the last legis-
lature, will entail an expenditure of at least
$4,000 Paving on Congress street, from
State to Grove at least, appears to be impera-
tive, and Commercial street badly needs at
tention in the same direction. A new school
building will probably have to be provided
for the Cumberland Street Grammar school,
and al increased appropriation will be
necessary for the island schools. With these
expenditures, which appear to be impera-
tive, and considerable appropriation for
the celebration of the Fourth of July, which
seems to be called for by the fact that the
Army of the Potomac will hold reunion
here at that time, the most rigid economy
will have to be practiced in other directions
if the tax rate is to be kept down to the fig
ure of the past year. Such improvements as
as are desirable, but not absolutely neces.
sary, will have to be deferred until more
favorable year. The Mayor seems TO be
fully alive to the need of economy, and i'm
presses upon the Council the duty of care
fully scrutinizing all the appropriations. 1t
behooves the Council to give careful atten-
ton to his suggestions. 1t is extremely i'm.
portant that the rate of taxation should be
kept down, for high tax rate is repellant to
capital, thereby tending to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of new industries and Gripping
those that now exist.

il seems unfortunate that there is no place
within the city limits where the boys can in
dulge in the healthful and invigorating sport
of salt water bath without exposing them
selves to the risk of arrest for violating city
ordinance.
/ heartily recommend that the matter of
public bath house receive your attention and
suitable one be provided, if it appears expedi-
ent to do so after proper examination of this
subject
PORTLAND AND oGDENsBURG RAILROAD STOCK.
The shares that the city owns in the Port
land and Ogdensburg railway will soon be a
per cent stock, dividends payable quarterly,
which will give them marketable value, and
when the whole block can be closed out in one
transaction and at proper price, it would seem
best to sell and apply the proceeds to reduc-
ton Of the city debt
It is not desirable for the city either to build
or retain ownership in railroads longer than it
is necessary to favorably dispose of its interests.
FOURTH OF JULY.
As the Society of the Army Of the Potomac
is to hold its annual reunion IN our city the
Sd, 4th and 9Th of July of this year, the occa-
sion will be one of great interest calling to-
getber as it does so many distinguished vet
Grams of the late war from all parts of the
country, and the city and citizens should work
together to give them cordial welcome to or
beautiful city by the sea, and make their stay
with us interesting and pleasant. In connec-
ton with the parade which will be made by
this society on the 4th of July, arrangements
should be made for an elaborate procession and
proper celebration of the day.
Great interest will be added to all the ex-
ercises by the presence and participation of
these members of the grand old Army of the
Potomac.
Should the figures now being prepared in
Europe for the Soldiers and Sailors monu-
ment be received in time, the unwilling of the
monument, with the attendant ceremonies,
will give added brilliancy and interest to the
celebration of the day, if the monument COM
mittee should be pleased to act in conjunction
with the city.
In conclusion, l would emphasize the i'm
portance of so directing affairs during the
year on which we are now entering that we
may promote the best interests of the people
by affording them every possible facility for
trade and occupation, the utmost security to
life and property, the best advantages for edu-
cation and the most ample means for enjoy
ment of all the benefits which a prosperous
and well governed municipality should pro-
vide, and at the same time make the necessary
burden OF taxation as easy as possible.
10 attain this your cordial CO. operation is
asked.

NO USE FOR THEM,
The California sugar Troubles.

NEW York Commercial Bulletinl
A special from San Francisco states that
the closing Of the American Sugar Refinery
by receiver last week caused greater sen.
sation in the sugar trade there that it has
known for years. Judge Wallace's decision
instructing the receiver to shut the refinery
actually created monopoly in sugar more
stringent than any trust could have secured
The moment the American Refinery was
knocked out by judicial decision and its
output Of sugar stopped, Spreckels had
clear field and he advanced prices. What
was worse than the monopoly thus created.
Spreekels took advantage of the situation to
revenge himself on dealers who resisted his
autocratic rule years ago, when he was king
of the sugar market here, as well as on the
Sandwich Islands. 4 number of these men,
including large wholesale jobbers and
several candy makers, have been boycotted
by SpIeckels and cannot purchase barrel
OF sugur from him. AS a monopolist, he
even goes to the length of saying that dealers

who sell to them will be put on his black
list and refused sugar from his California
refinery. Another rule he has enforced
which works great hardship to dealers. is
that the price of sugar is fixed at delivery
ana not when ordered. 1t this way small
dealers suffer, from fluctuations of the
market instead OF the large manufacturer.
