FOR THE MAYOR TO READ.
A Well Known Union Carpenter Speaks
for the Laboring Men.


JERSEY CITY, Feb. IL, 1890,
To the Editor of the Jersey City Neacs:-
DEAR SIR.-I noticed in perusing your
paper the other evening a communion
ton from the Mayor in reference to the
construction of the Pavonia avenue
sewer, in which he states that In the con-
~stqqIction OF all such public works there
should be an expert appointed eoho is
capable of doing the apoak, IT atoalT Board
does not knolp of such I am certain that
the labor organizations In the U0ri0ls
trades aoill be ready to furnish them.
Those Who pay the assessments are en-
titled to the best qUoTk the specifications
call for.
Now, MI. Cleveland, that sounds very
good to catch the -workingman. You are
a man who has prided himself as being a
friend of labor. You have been invited
to make speeches at all the great labor
conferences in this city. owing to the fact
that laboringmen believed what you said
TO be your honest convictions. Now, Mr..
| Cleveland, things have changed. In
place of Mr.. Cleveland being the friend of
labor we find that all the labor organiza-
tions in Hudson county are denouncing
him; and why, for his treachery. From
what we can see published in the J Jersey
City papers, barring the AfgUS, and that
paper is too well known that any union
man to comment on, says he does not.
Under the New Charter, while we all
know he is the controlling power Of that
Board, why did he not come out like a
man and suggest TO the Board of Finance
that they award the city printing to an
Office employing none but members of
Typographical International Union
No 81. In place Of making
such a suggestion he stands by
and gives his assent to have said work
done by al Office, who, two years ago last
February. threw its union men on the
street and sent to Passaic and other like
towns for girls md %nonunion men who
would work for one-third the union rate.
while men who wished to uphold
| union principles, had to cross the
river TO seek employment. Now,
Mr.. Cleveland, while ] am not a printer,
I sympathize with the members of No. 81
who have suffered from the injustice
done them by you and the aforesaid
Board Of Finance. and, therefore, l can
see nothing but a correct representation
| of the character known as "Dr. Jeykl and
Mr.. Hyde. In conclusion, | will caution
all trade unionists against all candidates
for office whose actions have been such
as to show, while IN h w~orkingman's
platform he is lapor's friend, but in his
official capacity his worst enemy, as !
have conclusively proven in the facts
already stated Ia the matter OF awarding
the city printing.

The New Theatre Waists.


A ladies' tailor tells the st. Louis
Globe Democrat the most sensible in
novation that I have noted for a long
time is the growing favor of thea tire
waists for ladies. Elaborate costumes
are crushed by passing in and out OF
the aisles and in the narrow chairs of
the orchestra and balcony. This is
an unnecessary sacrifice as only the
bodice is visible when the theatre
cloak is thrown back. A skirt Of
plain black faiile Franchise or silk
wrap cashmere, with a variety of
dressy waists, answers every purpose.
have noticed several society ladies
who appreciate the convenience of a
fashion that is quite commrn in New
York city. Cheapness of toilet is by
no means implied. Think for a mo-
ment of the Figaro jacket with belt
and buckle. 1t is made Of steel or
gold cord, and consists of short
rounded fronts and q trimming for the
middle of the back united by a stand
up collar. The jacket is edged with
finely cut bead drops and hooks into
silk loops on a faille Franchise bodice,
the hooks being sewn on invisibly.
The belt is mi and one-quarter inches
wide, and fastens with a handsome
buckle to match the trimming.

ELECTRIC LIGHT.

A Glens Falls On. W paper publish
ed this silly item the other day: ",The
authorities of Middlebury, VT, have
gone back on the contract with Mr..
Wells of this place, to furnish them with
electric light. At last, but too late, our
townsman has learned that contract
with Vermont selectmen is as thin as the
maple syrup the Vermonters manufac-
ture out of the refuse of molasses hogs
heads and the sweepings of cOnfection-
cry stores and sell as an extract of sap
from trees that never existed in the To-
cality where the syrup is chiefly man
ufactured." So far as the trustees of the
village are aware, there is no reason for
any such statements. They have made a
contrast with Mr.. Wells, for the Mid
dlebury Electric Light Co., to furnish
the lights, and he has not indicated his
purpose to do otherwise than carry out
that agreement. MIR. Wells has hired
house here and is expected to come with
his family in day or two. Mr.. Ayres,
representing the Thomson-IIouston com
pany, says the poles for the lights have
been ordered and other arrangements
made for putting in the plant. Mr.. G.
c. Peck talks of putting an incandescent
dynamo into his mill to furnish lights
for stores and residences.

HIGHWAY REFORM.

Rhode Island, too, is moving in the Gi-
rection of what is there very appropri-
ately termed "highway reform" One
of the plans proposed is thus outlined in
the Providence Journal: "The State
shall construct and maintain such high
ways as are, by virtue of their location,
means of communication for the whole
commonwealth. The towns, as such,
shall construct and maintain such other
thoroughfares as are in their nature local,
seeing to it, through the employment of
single competent agent, that the work
is well done, and uniformly, and in recog-
milton of the common right of the whole
community in every portion of the pub
lie domain
This is about what we have in Ver-
mont, the principle of State interest in
the main thoroughfares having been re-
cognized by the passage of the law under
which aid has been extended to New Ha-
ven and Ripton in the repair of their
roads. We are not up to the idea of a "sn
gle competent agent in each town, how
ever, and that, or the employment of one
competent person in a county, will per-
haps be our next step in advance.

consignee was authorized to sell intoxi-
eating liquor in the county. The law
was held to be in conflict with the article
of the constitution above referred to, and
invalid. The court, however, left unde-
cided the important question, whether
the right of transportation of an article
of commerce from one State to another
includes by necessary implication the
right of the consignee to sell it in unbro-
ken packages at the place where the
transportation terminates. But Justice
Harlan. who, with the late Chief Justice
Waite and Justice Gray, dissented from
the decision, said: "In this view, any
one-even citizen of Iowa-desirng to
sell Intoxicating liquors in that State,
need only arrange to have them delivered
to him from some point in another State,
in packages of varying sizes, as may suit
customers. If the State arraigns him
for violation of her laws, he may claim
and, under the principles of the present
decision, it may become difficult TO dispute
the claim that the constitu-
tion of the United States secures to him
the right to bring or receive from other
States Intoxicating liquors in original
packages, and to sell them, while held
by him in such packages, to all choosing
to buy them"
According to the newspaper accounts
the case now decided was as follows:
Leisy Il Co., brewers, of Peoria, H., sent
some of their product in sealed kegs and
cases by railroad to keokuk, Iowa, where
their agent, a nonresident, offered it for
sale in the original package. The beer
was seized under the prohbitory law by
the marshal of Keokuk. Leisy brought
suit against the marshal. The court held
that it was protected from seizure by the
article of the constitution to which allu-
sion has been made. Justices GRAY. Har-
Ian and Brewer dissent from this opinion.
Justice Gray says: :" If the statutes of
State restricting or prohibiting the sale
of Intoxicating liquors within its terrific
ry are to be held imperative and void as
applied to liquors sent or brought from
another State and sod by the importer
in What are called original packages, the
must be that an inhabitant
of any State may, under the pretext of
interstate commerce. and without license
or supervision of any public authority,
carry or send into and sell in any or all
the other States of the Union Intoxicating
liquors, of whatever description, in cases
or kegs or even in single bottles or TASKS,
despite any legislation of those States"
What the result of this decision to
western Vermont, and, indeed to the
whole State and to all States having pro-
hibitory laws, will be remains to be seen.
If Justice Gray is right, it seems to be
the fact that all such laws are to all in
tents and purposes null and void; for,
while selling by the glass may be restric-
ted or prohibited, no State can lawfully
stop the selling of original packages,
even pint TASKS, of rum or other liquor,
provided only that the liquor came into
the State in those packages.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The Republicans in Congress hope that
they will be through with business and
able to go home by August /.
The Republican State convention is
to be held at Montpelier June 10. The
date was fixed at a meeting of the State
committee at Montpelier on Wednesday,
when Hon. p. X. Gleed, Lamolle
county man, was chosen chairman to sue
ceed Hon. Carroll S. Page of Morrisvile.
Candidates for one and another office
are blossoming out in all sections of the
State. The crop of the past week in
cludes Hon. Henry c. Ide of st. Johns
bury, whom the Caledonian wants to see
lieutenant governor, and Hon. Norman
Paul of Woodstock, who is going in for
the State authorship.
The Hardwick Gazette says that "Dis-
trict Attorney Plumley of Northfield
will enter the congressional fight as a
candidate, hoping to slip in between
Gen. Grout and Col. Hooker. His prob
able object is to draw enough off to de-
feat Hooker, if such thing becomes
necessary" Col. Hooker will find him
formidable opponent-over the left.
1t is the opinion of the Burlington
Clipper that the five dollars day salary
paid to Commissioner Valentine is "iust
about that amount of money thrown
away" 1t is worse than that, when so
intelligent paper as the Atlanta GA }
Constitution gets this kind of an idea of
Vermont: "The rural districts of Yer
mont are in state of decay. The farms
are deserted and the hill towns are tumb-
ling down, so to speak"
A correspondent of the Burlington
Free Press cannot see how more manu-
factures can help farmers, saying "What
ii the use of home market if we cannot
utilize it? What benefit is a thriving vii
lage or city to surrounding agricul.ur-
al section if it does not afford "A ready
market at the highest cash price for the
products of the soil? Why need Burling-
ton business houses complain that the
farmers do not patroniZe them while
they are living mostly upon Western
products? Let them realize that it is
upon the sale of his products that the
farmer depends for cash. What are the
poor Swedes going to do for cash if they
