lpathy and in earnest co-operar
| tion in the advancement OF the
general educational work OF the
State. There is an abundance
of room for both Of these insti-
tutions, and I beg that there
shall be no chickering's Letween
them. There is a great WORK for
each to do and when each has
rendered the best possible sers
vice to the State there win re-
main much still to be done. ]
repeat, there must not be any
friction between them and ! ap-
peal to the friends of these two
institutions and to those OF all
| other institutions of learning in
the State to see to it that no
jealousies shall rise up among
any of them. / urge this be-
cause of my earnest desire to see
the University, the colleges, the
high Schools and the common
schools work together in per-
feet harmony and accord for
the conquest of ignorance, the
education of the people and the
glory of the State.
In erecting these buildings we
begin at the foundation and
work upwards. If we wish TO
tear them down we would begin
at the top and go downward
So in building up a permanent,
healthy, stable, progressive edu.
cational system, we must begin
in the common schools and
make them sufficient for their
works and then with this firm
foundation it is easy to build up
high schools, colleges and uni
versities. Hence / argue that
the presidents and professors of
our universities and our colleges
and academies should be the
earnest advocates and steadfast
friends of our common schools.
On the other hand I wish to say
to the friends of the common
schools who are disposed to ig-
noree the university and the col
leges, that they cannot find a
more ready way of injuring the
common schools than by tearing
down the heads of our educa-
tional system. I therefore in
sist that the friends of our COM
mon schools should be active in
their support of the university
and the colleges of the State.
The best results will be obtained
when all work together. Ihave
thought these general reflections
upon our educational work in
the State not inappropriate to
this occasion, and ! trust they
may have the thoughtful atten-
tion of those who hear them.
We are now closing a year of
unusual abundance. 50 In less
than sixty days we will have
entered upon a new year with
its duties, its responsibilities and
its possibilities. It will be the
beginning of the last decade of
a century of great activities and
magnificent achievements. I
hope to see the people of North
Carolina signalize that year by
a general advancement along
all the lines Of education work,
and / trust our General Assem-
BILE will lead that advance by in
creasing the funds dedicated to
our common schools. We must
do more for the sacred cause of
education than we are doing.
North Carolina does not stand
ahead of her neighbors in this
noble work according to the
census reports which win soon
be published TO the world. Let's
put her there before the close of
the next decade. We can do It
if we will. .. .s

BALLOT REFORM MUDDLE.
The Aldermen Have Neglected to
Appoint Officers for the
Spring Election.

1t was expected last night that the
Board of Aldermen would appoint the
election officers who are TO serve at the
next spring election. At the preceding
meeting the Board adjourned until last
night, mainly for this purpose. Nothing.
however, was said concerning the matter
at last nights meeting.
1t would appear that the members of
the Board of Aldermen are guilty of mall
feasance, unless it can be argued that the
Board had no right to make such appoint
ments because the precinct lines have not
yet been definitely fixed. The ordinance
redistricting the city, passed by the old
Board, was certioraried and is still in
court, and it is said the result of the liti-
CATION will not be known before next
spring.
The new Ballot Reform law expressly
states that sin all of the municipalities
of this State wherein elections for public
officers are or may be held on days other
than the days on which the annual town
meetings aforesaid or the annual election
for members of the General Assembly are
held, the governing body of every such
municipality, by Whatever name called,
shall, on or before the first day of Septenl-
ber in each and every year, appoint four
persons for each election district or pre-
cinct within their several municipalities,
who shall be and constitute the Boards
of Registry and Election within and for
such respective districts or precincts"
Further on the law reads:-"If any
vacancy shall occur in any of said Boards
of Registry and Election by death,
resignation, inability or otherwise, such
vacancy shall be filed in manner afore-
said, by the members of the governing
body who made the original appoint
ment."
1t is obvious that the letter of the law
has been violated by the Aldermen. 1t is
doubtful whether the certiorari proceed
iugs from sufficient legal excuse. If the
Board does not make any appointments
until the certiorari is finally settled, it is
believed 1t will be impossible to carry out
the other requirements of the law in
respect to registration, for lack of time.

l stood up to go, yenturing one last uues-

Is it true that your society was strong
iy IN favor OF Colonel j ohm McAnerney's
nomination."
No. AS body we never held any po-
sitlon in the matter. We all have the
highest respect ana most cordial regard
Tor the Colonel. If he were nominated
have no doubt we would all support him.
But we never doomed him in any way,
and he seems to be out of 1t altogether
now. There are too many strong cur
rents of popular feeling in this campaign
to leave man who plunges into the sea
OF politics from the retirement of private
life any chance to keep afioat."

CHAT WITH DR.. M'GILL
"That the members of the Democratic
Society should take initiatory steps in
this matter" said DR.. j. d. McGill to a
NEWS reporter last night, is an excellent
idea.
"The non professional political element
is loyal and enthusiastic part of the
Democracy. OF late it has been refused
recognition absolutely at the hands of the
Ring leaders. 1t has not been allowed to
name single candidate for anything.
Treated with utter contempt. Now and

first organized l refused to join, l ex-
pected the appearance of a Trojan horse
seeking new pastures. l thought that
was the object of the progenitors of the
Democratic Society. A number of the
Trojans did get in; but there is decided
inclination to stamp them out.
Colonel McAnerney, | should think,
would be the choice of the Democratic
Society for Congress. He is gentleman
of education, of unblemished personal
character. Personally, think McAdoo
has been good representative. He has
achieved honorable distinction. His
record has been satisfactory. But ! find
the leaders will all knife him.
"McAnerney was opposed to me in 1894.

the citizens movement; he was honest;

ballot boxes for Collins. am glad was

Anerney. 1t was blind. The Ring was
after his money. Mr.. McAnerney, be-
lieve, is too honest to be bled. Ii he
would spend his money he would be
nominated and elected. II not, he
wouldn't be, and that's all there is about
it.
Respectable Democrats of Hudson are
ashamed to acknowledge their politics
outside the county, to mix in with Demo
Gratis in other parts of the State. They
are instantly associated with Davis & Co.
in Jersey City. They are denounced all
over the State. 1t used not to be so. To
be a Hudson Democrat in the days of old
was an honor. But the present Ring has
so thoroughly demoralized the party as to
cover all with disgrace.
II shall introduce a resolution at the
next meetinR-I intended to do so the
other night, but my absence was nnavoid-
able-to put the society on record as dis
favoring the Ring"

BAYONNE GOSSIP.

The Germania Singing Society, of Bay
onne, gave an excursion to Palisade Park,
on the Hudson, last Sunday, and among
those who attended was Peter Brady, a
Bergen Point saloon keeper. At the
grove Brady made the acquaintance of
Captain Charles Dietz, of the tug boat
Lenox, which had the excursion barge in
tow. He was invited ON board the tug by
Captain Dietz and introduced to Engineer
James Fitzgerald, Fireman John Carroll
ana Deckhand James Daily. He says
that on the way down Captain Deitz sug-
gested q game Of draw poker. He ac-
quiesced, and Deckhand Daily acted as
wheelsman while Captain DeiJz and En-
gineer Fitzgerald took hand in
the game. Brady surprised the boat
men by raking in all the chips.
He says that after dark Captain Deitz
asked him TO step outside on the deck and
there accused him of having played an
un fair game, and demanded the money.
Brady says he refused and was knocked
down by the captain. The other members
of the crew assisted in taking away his
W innings, amounting to about $780, and
$3.50 additional that he originally mud. On
the strength of the foregoing story Brady
induced Justice William j. Powers. OF

There was meeting of the Board of
Freeholders yesterday, but the county
guardians transacted only little busi-
ness. Chief Engineer Edlow w. Harri-
son informed the Board that he had been
informed that the grade of several ave-

THE ELECTRIC CARS.
Why the System Is Not Extended as
Present.

Why the System Is Not Extended ~
Present.
President Thurston, Of the Jersey City
and Bergen Railroad Company, said this
morning that it was the intention of his
company TO extend the electric system Of
propulsion now in operation on the Mont
gomery street line TO the ferry. But he
said it could not be done before
spring. The running of the motors
now were more in the way of
experiment than anything else, and it yet
remained to be seen how the system will
work during the winter when the ground
is covered with snow and ice. Then
again it was desirable, Mr.. Thurston said,
TO ascertain how well the travelling pub
lie was satisfied with the present system
before extending it further. From
all that he had heard, how
ever, he did not anticipate
any trouble In that direction as every one
seems to be satisfied with what little they
have of electric cars. In order to ex-
tend the system it would be necessary to
putting in extra ties and heavier string
pieces as the cars which are supplied
with the motors are about two and one
half times as heavy as the ordinary street
cars. This would take some time, and
the probabilities are that the electric sys-
tenn will not be extended just yet Tho
line upon which it will be next placed
will probably be the Greenyille line from
the foot of the hill at Bergen Hall to the
Greenville terminus of the line. 1t will
also be tried on the Hudson City line to
tow the cars up the steep hill at Newark
avenue

NEWARK, Sept. 10, 1S90.-The proposed
extensions of the Central Railroad, which
have so long been talked of, have been
under serious consideration by the off.
GERS of the company within the last few
days, and as the matter looks at present
the long contemplated changes will soon
be made. These changes are of the first
Importance to a large section of the
neighborhood of this city. 1t is proposed
to make the Newark and New York Rail
road part of the main line of the Cen
tral by connecting it with the main line
at Fanwood. The connecting line will
cross Broad street at the present termi-
nus of the Newark and New York Rail
road. and will run in southerly direc-
tion between Washington and Plane
streets, thence around the foot of Clinton
hill to Wyoming and Fanwood. This
line will run around the foot of the
Orange mountains, near Milburn, and
through Springfield. Over 1t all through
Central and Baltimore and Ohio trains
will run. The old line will be used main
ly for the transportation Of freight.
From Wyoming branch road will be
built. running between the Second noun
tains and the hills, through Mllburn,
crossing Livingston township at Wash
ington place, and thence to Morristown.
The building of this line will prove a
serious blow to the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Westerns monopoly of traffic
in the region beyond Morristown
The line from Fanwood to Wyoming
will be extended up the valley between
the First and Second mountains to con-
meet with the Greenwood Lake Railroad
at Great Notch, and from that point
through the town of Little Falls to Pat
erson, where it will connect with the
main line of the Erie railroad.
This extension will open up new
route for transportation of coal from the
mines in Carbon county, Pa, to New
York State and New England. by way of
Easton, the Erie Railroad and the Cen
tral. All the proposed lines will pass
through a very fertile country, which
stands much in need of railroad facilities
for its proper development.
1t is said that the greater part of the
right Of way for the new road has been
secured, and IN addition that property
owners along the proposed route have
promised large money contributions for
the construction of the lines.

ALDERMEN ON TO HIM.
Votes for "Orestes C1eve-
land" and Rats" for
Poundkeeper.

At the meeting of the Board of Alder
men last night two ordinances were pre-
sented of interest to liquor dealers. Mr..
Smith presented one in the form Of an
amendment to the ordinance to license
and regulate inns and taverns and res
taurants, and to regulate the sale of
spirituous, vinous and malt liquors. 1t
set forth that all licenses for such
granted. after the ordinance shall have
become law, before July 1, 1901, shall
expire and be utterly void; but all licenses
heretofore granted shall run and be in
good operation until the expiration of
the time mentioned In said law, unless
revoked; that the license fee to be paid at
any time after the first day of July of
each year shall equal as many twelfth
parts of the license fee as there are
months remaining. but said proportionate
cost OF license shall not apply to any per-
son who shall have been engaged in a like
business in Jersey City on July 1 !, of that
same year.
Alderman Salinger presented an ordi-
nance to prevent the sale of Intoxicating
liquors without license. fixing the PEN
atty at $50 for each offence and giving
the police magistrates power to impose
such fines where the case is clearly
proven.
A resolution was adopted authorizing
the Committee on Elections to provide
such stationery as will be necessary at
the coming special election, secure poll
ing places at a rental not to exceed IS for
each place and furnish them at cost not
to exceed 81 for each place.
Mr.. Smith had resolution passed au-
thorizing the Committee on Streets to
repair the pavements OF Hamilton Park
at cost not to exceed $50. Mr. Smith
fx,4 L..
knew the amount would not cover the
repairs necessary, but it was all the COM
mittee had at it's disposal for such pur-
pose, but certain repairs were absolutely
necessary, as in some places the holes in
the pavements were dangerous to life
and limb.
Alderman Salinger had James Mat
pointed pound keeper for the Fifth dis
trict. He stated that the Fifth was main
ly farming district; COWS roamed at
large and eat up the vegetables exposed
for sale at the grocery and provision
stores of the neighborhood. Mr.. Matthews
was appointed by ballot. He had no
practical opposition, though Messrs. Sal
niger and O'Neill, as tellers, read two of
the eleven votes cast, "Orestes Cleve-
land" and Rats"
The Board accepted an invitation to at
tend meeting of Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen, to be held in Woods
Hall. Sunday, September 20, at two p. M.
Fraud Cleveland will preside at the
meeting, which is for the purpose of ex-
planning the aims and objects of the Or
der. Mr.. O'Neill moved that the Alder
men attend in body. Mr.. Smith
seconded, and the motion was carried.
The Board granted three more liquor
licenses, made three transfers and grant
ed four permits for the erection of signs,
