WHAT has become of Fleesey the
murderer of John Denning? 1t is dis
graceful to the Hoboken police that
the quest for him has been permitted
to relax. 1t is said that he has friends
with a pull" In defence of their
own good name, this ought to make
the police determined to secure his
arrest.
DOUBTLESS many causes con-
tributed to the failure to float the
four per cent. park bonds. Mr..
Thurston in his thoughtful and con-
s~ervatiye remarks which we publish
in another column specifies many of
the causes, and we think with perfect
accuracy. Still the iii main element
runs through the whole subject, and
enters more or less into every phase
of it. The business of Hudson
county is mismanaged. There
is an u~ndercurrent of distrust and
aversion towards the Board of Free
holders in the public mind. Mr..
Dugan, too, another adherent of the
Ring, has done his part towards
~'queering'' the operation.
Ring, Ring. Ring! The Ring is al
ways at work. 1t ruins the public
credit, retards the public business,
picks the public pocket, and destroys
the public faith in human honesty.
Down with the Ringl
IT is very evident that there are two
opinions among building and loan as
ISOLATION men regarding the new
Mechanics Lien law. The first in
clination of members is, of course, to
oppose it. 1t causes some trouble,
and it increases the risk of building
loans when the most careful precau-
tions are not taken. But, on the
other hand, it affords protection to a
class of men, who, in the past
were very much at the mercy
of sharp contractors. There have
been, within a year or two, several
cases of absconding builders in this
very county who left sad creditors be-
hind. There is doubtless a great deal
to be said on both sides of the ques-
ton.

WE wonder now Mr.. School Di-
rector Pingsten liked himself in print
yesterday afternoon. We wonder also
how the parents of Jersey City liked
him as a guardian and guide for their
children.
VARIOUS people are wondering
what changes will cross the face of
political moon when Allan L. McDer-
mott puts foot upon New Jerseys
soil. Mr.. McDermott is expected
home about September Is. The po-
litical slate has all been made up
that is, every politician has made it
up according to his own wishes. One
says it is certainly McAdoo for Con-
grcss, and another as confiden thy as
serts it Is McAnerney. Heintze and
McPhillips are put down as sure
winners of the Shrievalty nominal
ton. And as for the Assemblymen,
they are already elected. There are a
good many people already elected
in the minds Of their friends. Mr..
McDermott's Judgment will have a
good deal to do with naming several
candidates.
THE Journal as a pronounced Ring
organ is a decided success. Its tend
ency to print long articles and say
nothing in them is particularly useful
in defending what it knows to be
false and bad.

companion picture to that of Joseph

blowing on it.
