LET Us INVESTIGATE.
The Sooner The Senate Looks Into
City Affairs the Better.

81 think the Citizens and Property
Owners Associations are wise in seeking
legislative inquiry into the aflministra-
ton of affairs in this city, y was the reply
made to my questions by Thomas Nc
Evan. Jr., secretary of TIE Republican
County COMMITTEES -The city is q pretty
big component part Of the state. and II
eur citizens are being wronged, and have
no redress from the munich pal govern
ances should be inyestig gated by the Legis-
latuTe.
There is a philosophical reason why
the Senate snould act ia the matter. for,
being opposed politically to the party in
power in the city. the committee Will be
more likely to thoroughly investigate.
If fraud is being perpetrated they win de-
tect and expose it. Ii there is no fraud
our commissioners will be GoQbly re
lieved Of the suspicion now resting upon
them.
.'The new charter provides for a mi
norify representation on the commissions,
but Mayor Cleveland has, in most cases,
appointed Republicans in name only, and
not such men as are identified with. or
could be endorsed BY the Republican
party.
Il believe there are as many, if not
more, complaints against the Board Of
Street and Water Commissioners, as there
ever was against the former Boards Of
Works in Jersey City
In the reckless expenditure of public
money, deals and corruption, / believe it to
be as bad as any ring that existed under
the Tweed regime. cite III proof of my
position the complaints that have been
made by associations OF the Third, Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth districts, as noted in The
JERSEY CITY NEWS. The First district is
the old portion Of the city and but few
improvements are now called for. The
Second is largely meadow territory and
Improvements are being made there.
But in the other districts that are new
and rapidly growing improvements are a
necessity There the Board has fuil
swing and there the people are complain
lug OF the Board. ] believe that when
ever the Board places Its hands upon a
job c0nfagion of fostering corruption
has seemed TO follow.
With relation To the Board of Tax
Commissioners have already given my
views. We cannot have a Senatorial in
yestigation any too soon for the interests
OF the city I"

sen. M'D0NALD TALKS.
He Will Refuse to Hold His Seat by
Sufferance of Republicans.

/ met Senator Mcdonald on the mid
night train from Jersey City last night
and had talk with him about the Sena-
torial contest. He told me that he has no
idea OF resigning until the committee has
completed It's investigation. He does not
believe that l 800 fraudulent ballots will
be found in the boxes--that the number,
at any rate, viii not exceed 1000. He be-
lieyes even then he will have left sub
stanrial majority of 5000.
The Senator further stated If the in
vestigation should show his majority to
be precarious one of from $500 to 5000
he would then take into consideration
the matter of resigning, as he diu not
propose to hold his seat by the sufferance
Of the Republican majority unless his
title was clear.
He will not consider the propriety of
getting out till the investigation is fin
ished, however.
lt is time TO say good morning to the
devil when you meet him." said the
Senator. Il 10 not think, he continued,
that the purpose of the Senate was to
unseat ME, but merely to get at the
ballot boxes of Hudson to see If there
were really any frauds perpetrated in
the last election"

A MILITARY CIRCUS.
Five Members OF an Orange Militia
Company Have Resigned.

NEWARK, Feb 1S90.--For months past
the officers and many Of the rank and file
ofthe 9TH regiment have been at sword
points, charges aud counter charges have
been made and appeals for court-nartiaIs
to convene. The trouble originated over
the awarding of badge. First Sergeant
Boyd Of Company f. and mis- captain,
Robert L. Smith, had tiff IN one of the
meetings in which civil bushes was being
transacted. Boyd was acquitted by the
court, but was reduced to the ranks by
Col. Barnard
Boyd was one Of the most popular men
in the regiment. and had many friends
among the officers. He appealed to Brig
adler General Steele TO have his case re-
opened, but no notice has yet been taken
OF his appeal.
Major Hoyt. who has been in the regi-
ment since its organization, was friendly
to Boyd, having formerly been his cap
tain in Company Z. When the Fifth
Regiment paraded in Orange at the G. A.
X. celebration, Captain Smith, of Com
pany y, it is said, made remarks reflect
ing on Major Hoyt, who Was informed OF
the fact. The major preferred thereupon
charges against the captain and handed
them to Adjutant Dooner, who, in turn,
should have turned the papers over to
Colonel Barnard
The charges were fordwarded to bri-
grade headquarters and Major Hoyt him
self forwarded duplicates
All this time the trouble has kept brew
ing, aud there are criticisms iE regard to
an alleged ring" extending from regi-
mental headquarters TO Company Z room
which is the nearest to Headquarters
Frank e. Hayes was first lieutenant of
Company E until few DAYS ago
Through his friendship for Boyd, it is al
legged, he incurred the ill-feeling Of super
Tor officers, and about a week ago it was
announced that he had resigned, though
the members Of the regiment say he was
''frozen' out.
Comissary Sergeant Malcolm B. Wood
was also friendly to Boyd and has served
mis- five year term of enlistment, but had
never applied for his discharge Woods
has now received word from Adjutant
Dooner that his discharge had been
applied for. Wood did not make the
application himself, and he informed
some of the officers of the fact, three Of
whom Immediately sent 10 Colonel
Barnard for resignation blanks They
rendered their designations today Two
other officers win tender their resigna-
lions this afternoon.
An officer, who was interviewed this
morning, said that the occurrences in the
regiment, due to certain officers, had de-
moraiized IT, He feared that the regi-
ment would lose its best officers.

SOUTH ORAKGA. Feb. Is. IsSg-A strong
anti-saloon sentiment is at work in South
Orange Alexander Robertson and
Thomas Croker are the leaders in the
moueInent. and in a petition to the Viii
age Trustees they and about one hundred
and fifty others ask that no license be
granted for saloon other than those at
present carrying on business. There are
four hotels and three saloons in the Will
age. Efforts are being made by citizen
10 obtain license to Keep a saloon In the
building on South orange avenue recent
ly vacated by John Beirne. It is thought
that this prompted the anfi-saloon men
to get in their work. No objection is
made to the relicensing Of the present
hotels and saloons.
The matter is confined to the village,
no reference being made to the liquor
traffic as carried on in the township at
large. The petitioners declare that the
law of supply and demand is well pro-
yided for at present. Among the signers,
however, are over score of non-residents
of the village. Two reside outside of
Essex county ana some are minors.
There are some of the most prominent
citizens in the place on the list, however.
II is said that another petition of similar
import, fathered by e. H. Mead and
Thomas Fenner, ex-presidents Of the
village. is afioat 1t is understood that
the present liquor dealers favor the block
ing oil of other aspirants for the profits
of the business, and the majority Of the
Board are disposed to keep the limit at
