A Fair view Of the Case.
the True Amer1caa

The examination being made of the
Hudson county ballot boxes, SO far,
demonstrates the same fact that has
been developed by each and every
contested election and election re-
count in this State, to wit:-That a
great proportion of the Election
Boards of the State are made up of in
competent persons, and that all cleo
tions are conducted in a loose manner
not contemplated by the law.
And this fact points the moral of the
True americans suggestion that one
OF the great elements of ballot reform
is such a change in the law as will
provide for the selection of capable
and proper persons. and of them
alone, for service in Election Boards.
Such a selection is impossible under
the present law, because it lays in the
power of anybody, attracted by the
pay of the position, to secure a party
nomination in his election district,
and when he has that he cannot be
defeated.
A safe, economical and effective way
to select competent and trustworthy
officers would be to give the presiding
judge of the Common Pies, or, where
there is no such officer, then to the
Circuit judge, the power to appoint,
or the nomination OF the County
Committee or City Committee of the
two parties, proper persons of good
reputation and clerical fitness to re-
present the two parties on the election
board.
Such appointments would knock off
nine-tenths of the reputed frauds in
our elections.

SEINE en-
of Music,

1t is said of 'Old Jed Proutyn that
people enjoy the performance, applaud
the performers, indulge in a good old
fashioned laugh, or good old fashioned
cry, or the still greater luxury of both,
and as the curtain falls on the final
act depart from the house in a happy
frame of mind.
Several new and tuneful songs and
dances have been written and ar
ranged for this seasons tour of Barry

these numbers, a quartette of young,
graceful, pretty and agile girls, with
excellent singing voices, has been Sc
cured. Each Of these young ladies
wears a trio ofcostumes modelled upon
the latest styles approved in London
and Paris. They will be at the
Academy next week.

nae onIx Man IN the FieId.

1t has been rumored for some time
that Sheriff Davis desired one or
other of certain offices as soon as his
term as Sheriff expired. These re-
ports caused people to doubt that I'M
der any circumstances he would be a
candidate for Mayor.
The formal announcement yester-
day that Mr.. Davis had placed him
self in the hands of his friends, and
would accept the nomination if the
Democratic party so willed, has cor
rected this impression.
Mr.. Davis is a Democrat above all
things, and he has before now put his
own preferences aside for the party
good. 1t seems highly desirable-nay
absolutely necessary that some man
of his strength should be the nominee
this year, and he has, therefore, put
aside his own desires and consented to
come before the public as a candidate.
This decision, of course, wipes out
all opposition. Mr.. Davis is the only
man in the field today. His strength
and popularity are so great hat no
person would think of contesting the
nomination with him.
Unless the situation undergoes some
change, which cannot now be fore
seen, Mr.. Davis will bethe next Mayor
of Jersey City, and he will be a good
one.

1t was an old heiief that ali baptized

Tuscany to possess the power of avert

Here's a health to the wives and the mothers
Who sit in our households today;
Who are glad when they brighten for others
The hours that go drifting away.
May their eyes keep the light of the gladness,

And what need we ask more than this?
But--how can this happiness be kept?

Love Stories Of Doves.


A Scranton man who has raised
pigeons for many years tells this
story:-The wife of his finest male
pigeon flew home one day badly
wounded. She had been shot, and
She died within a few hours. For
three DAYS and nights her mate
walked back and forth on top of the
pigeon-house, %%ourning constantly
for his dead wife, and giving vent to
dismal sounds all the time. Two female
pigeons that had no mates tried
to win his favor while he was mourn
ing. They alighted in his pathway
every little while, but all the notice
they got from the grief-stricken hus-
band was a thump that sent them kit
ing from the roof. Then the females
fought n another, and, when they
had fought enough, they undertook to
win the males love again. So it went
until the fourth day, when the wife
less hutterer chose one of the festive
females for his mate. The unfavored
one then went off and moped a spell,
but she got over the effects of disap-
pointed love.
The same observer says that the
only bigamist he has ever seen among
pigeons is a male now owned by him.
During the breeding season the biga-
mist maintained two separate wives
and households, deyoting just about
as much attention to one as to the
other. He helped raise the broods of
each female, and his affection for each
was equal. The double duty kept
him busy, but he seemed to take
pride in having SO much response
bility.

Are you awaken he says to the other.

his eyes again. But it's morning.
L don't care says the lazy mate,
tucking his head under his wing once

other proceeds to indulge in a morn

out her head and shakes her feathers.
