NEWARK, May 25.-Scyeral ofirials of
the j. Il o, railroad were here last week
and had a conference with the street COM
mittec of the council relative to some inn
provements contemplated on the property
of the railroad company hero. one Of the
most needed Improvements ordered was
the extension of the pavement and curb
ing on the south side Of the street ta the
track and the laying Of pldnks between the
tracks to serve as a foot way, The wooden
bridge at that point which has long been
in dangerous condition will be done
away with altogether, and the passenger
platforms will he extended to the street
on both sides. The open space west of the
track will be converted into an attractive
flower garden and as soon rs the title 10
the recently purchased land on the east
side is perfected Improvements of a sim
liar character will he made on that When
these changes shall have been wrought
about the only thing necessary to The
further comfort and satisfaction of the
company's patrons viii, be the introduce
ton of electric light into the station and
the addition of a covered carriage Way.
As the p, w. & b. station south Of town
is conceded to be one of the pretticst on
the line of that road the b. & o. intends
TO have its station and grounds here rival
in attractiveness that nf its connection.

E7le New York E'renia9 Past Of Fri
Gay. supplements its last weeks dis
approval Of Delaware's new ballot law
written under the impression that the
Woleott iii lad been enacted in its
original shape-by the following edi-
torial comments
We are very glad to say that the new
Delaware Ballot Law is much better
meas are than lie meagre accounts of its
provisions, published during its considera-
tion, led Us 10 suppose. II was, in fact,
greatly changed in the last hours Of the
session, and in one important respect, at
lcast greatly improved, The separate
ballot provision was dropped, and the
blanket ballot adopted in its place. The
law IS closely nodded upnn the Indiana
Law, the names of candidates being ar
ranged in party groups, with the party
name and alsa the party emblem AT the
head u each group. The voter Is provided
with a stamp with which he can indicate
the candidates tor whom he wishes to vote
by making mark with the stamp either
alter each name or opposite the party
llaine and emblem at the top The In
diana Law has worked very well iii prac-
tiee. and Delaware is 10 be congratulated
an securing - excellent statute.

From his sworn testimony, given in
municipal court on Monday, it appears
that in one instance, at least, ex-County
Collector George w. Mckee issued
tax receipt to negro whose name does
not appear on his duplicates and for the
payment of which no record was made
on his cash book. This is certainly
remarkable revelation, and gives cred
ence to the startling rumors that on Sat
urday last the Republican party man
ayers were well supplied with tax re-
coipts bearing Mr. McKee's genuine
signature, which were freely furnished
70 unassessed negroes for purposes Of
registration. Taken in connection
with the story of bunch of North
ern district tax receipts said TO
have been securely stored in
the safe of the Opera Hotel, from which
they were issued for the use of the Re-
publican committee at the election last
November, Mondays revelation shows
the existence Of very surprising state Of
affairs in the county tax office of this
city. The tax office has been a potent
factor in Democratic primaries, in past
years, but never before was there a sus-
picion while in Democratic control its
powers were Illegally exercised for the
benefit Of the Republican party. The
situation is one which calls for prompt
explanation from the late collectors,
who otherwise cannot clear themselves
Of the ignominy Of having proved
recreant to party principle as well is
taithlcss To their public trusts.

The muddle into which tax collectors,
their counsel and others are getting
over their status under the Five Com
missioners act, hinges, it seems to us, on
one small point that appears to have
been overlooked. That act legislates
the tax collectors out of office, certainly;
bnt who are the tax collectors In the
contemplation of the lawp Manifestly
existing tax collectors, those appointed
by the existing levy court; and not the
ex-collectors whose official terms expired
last February. The official terms of the
latter ended by limitation three months
ago; they were already out of office and
could not well be legislated out. You
might as well talk about kicking a man
out of your house three hours after he
has vacated the premises. If, therefore,
the Five Commissioners bill has
no reference whatever to ex-collectors,
its follows that i. imposes no new con-
ditions, restrictions, obligations or de-
privations on them. Such being the
case, whatever quasi existence they
possessed before the passage of this act
they still retain. In the contemplation
of the old law the collectors were to
have collected all the collectible taxes
on their duplicates and to have made a
final settlement with the levy court be-
fore their lease of Office expired, last
February. For whatever balance of
collectible taxes they may not have
paid over at that time they were legally
in default and their sureties legally La
Bile then. If, through the indulgence Of
the levy court, men who had ceased to
be collectors in law are allowed, rs ex-
collectors, to so on for another year re-
ceiving delinquent taxes, what has the
Five Commissioners bill to do with it?

How is Your Insurance Policy.

Hon. r. M. Veatch, state senator from
Lane county, whose Touring mill burned
recently, is having trouble over his inz
surance money. He had two policies,
the first for $4,000, the second $4,000. By
the agreement on the policies, if any adj
ditional insurance is taken out, the
first insurance company must be
notified and their consent obtained. Mr.
Veatch did not know this, and therefore
in taking out his second policy he un-
Willingly relinquished all claims on the
first company, which now refuses to pay
any part of the $4,000, upon which Mr..
Neatch has faithfully paid his premiums.
