THE True american improves on
our suggestion that the next House
of Representatives should refuse to
pass any supply bill until the Force
bill is repealed-that is, Of course, as
Stunning it ever passes. The american
points out that the repeater of the
Force bill should be attached as a
rider to the very first appropriation
bill passed. That is right. That is
the way to solve the difficulty.

Mr.. LINTON SATTERTHwAITE, a
young lawyer, in an admirable article
III the Nesc Highlander and Yale Re
CLEO, proposes as a modification of
our system OF presidential elections
that the electors be first chosen by the
States. and then tine party conven-
tions meet and nominate the candi-
dates for the electors to ratify. At
first sight the scheme appears attrac-
tive; but it would really be very bad
in operation. As the system stands
now. the people pass upon the person
atty of the man who is to rule
them. In the other case, they would
only vote on a platform which, in the
issue, would bind nobody. 1t is true
that the electoral system sometimes
nuIlifies the will of the majority, and
equally true that the people some
times make errors as to the fitness of
men; but assuredly the proposal of
Mr.. Satterthwaite opens the door for
evils to which the present bear no
comparison
Just for example, let us suppose the
Democracy should win the electoral
colleges in 1892 on a Cleveland plat
form; it would, under the Sat
terthwaite plan, be possible
for the New York .'tiger' gang to
seize the National Democratic Con-
vention and impose David b. Hill
upon a Disguised public.
No, No. no system is faultless, but

to punish him for his refusal. The
performance of jury duty is a matter
in which a State can only hold its
W people, and a citizen of New Jer-
sey is as independent of New York

But, as a matter of fact, the judg-

and he is subject to all the inconven-
fences thereof. This wrong should
be remedied at once. Governor Alb

IL the matter cannot be

instruct Attorney General Stockton
to bring suit in the United States

THE dispute over the Hall OF
Records job can never be settled to
the public satisfaction without an APP
peal to the courts. Everyone believes
it is fra~udulently bad, and the Free
holders cannot, without a shocking
scandal. accept it and pay
full price. This being the case, the
sooner the appeal to the courts is
taken the better. Why should not
the F~reeholders make an arrangement
with the contractor to enter into pos
session at once, while he brings suit
at once to determine whether all or
any part of the $4,000, still unpaid,
should be turned over to him.

We have to apologize to Speaker
Bergen for going further in our com
ments on his committee appoint
ments than the facts warrant. We
criticized him, in particular, upon the
assumption that Hudson county had
no representation on the Committee
on Municipal Corporations. This was
an error. Mr.. Boyle, of the Eighth.
and Mr.. Smith, of the Third Assembly
District, are members OF this COM
mittee.
The error was made in this way.
The editorial was written early Tues
day morning, before the dispatches
of our own Trenton correspondent
had reached the office of THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS, and was based on the list
of committeeman published in the So
called New Jersey edition of the New
York World. In this list the Com
mittee on Municipal Corporations was
given thus
1felz, Johnson, A T. SaihpDoAs HA
The World boasts that it has two
correspondents at Trenton and adver-
tises its Legislative news as a special
feature. So. unfortunately, we as
sumed that on a mere routine matter
like a committee list it would be ac-
curate, and therefore we did not think
it necessary to make special COMPARE
son with our own list when it ar
rived.
We print these facts just to ex-
plain how the mistake was made. and
not to excuse ourselves, for we know
that to give a New York newspaper
credit for the least accuracy in pre-
senting New Jersey news was simply
an inexcusable blunder.

They say fashions r tending more
and more to individualisrn, and 1t is
SO with their hair dressing, for there
is no longer one fixed rule or uni YER
sal fashion imposed upon all alike,
whether becoming or not. Bangs are
not out" by any means, though the
full-face and straight mes have been
banished. The style most in vogue is
the ''disordorly" one with its loose,
fluffy front, and soft coil at the back,
with little curls nesting close to the
neck. The next is the Russian bang,
cut straight across the middle of the
forehead and rounded at the sides,
then frizzed. Another popular style
but one that is becoming to u few,
is the rolled back front with its soft,
frizzy curls at each side; while the
plain pompadour, rolling back from
the face, is still worn by the fortunate
ones who have its requisite compile
ments-a broad, white forehead and
thick wavy hair.
The "Grecian door knob has been
superseded by the careless, loosely
twisted coil. or oblong coil made from
one large, fiat braid, and fastened at
the back of the head with fancy pins.
Another style that many are adopting
is the fiat, small braids coiling around
each other in innumerable folds, and
fastened with pins in the nape OF the
neck; and others, having a shapely
head, fasten the soft, twisted coil low
in the nape of the neck.
Middle-aged and elderly ladies wear
the hair parted IN the middle, and
either drawn down smoothly or in
soft waves at the sides, and added to
the back hair. With full-dress tot
lettes, when becoming, the hair may
be dressed high on the head, with its
braids and pufs held in place by
fancy pins. Hairpins and side combs
for evening wear are shown with
gold, silver or jeweled heads, and for
common wear in tortoise shell with

FUNERAL SERVICES.
A Large Procession Follows John
Young's Remains to Greenwood.

The funeral services over the re-
mains Of John Young at the Baptist
church last evening were most inn
posing. The church was crowded with
the friends of the deceased, The re-
mains were conveyed to the church
from Pythagords Hall, where they
had been lying in state since Satur-
day morning iy members of Pytha-
goras Lodge l. o. 0. f. and Cumber-
land Lodge knights of Pythias
The pail bearers were b. III. Owen,
II. W. Ritter, j. G.. Joseph, Fred L..
Smith, b. G. Halter, j. j. HAMLET,
Jno. s. Neblett and VIM. Orrell.
Rev. A. U. Boone, assisted by Rev.
j. w. Sullivan conducted the service s
at the church. The former delivered
fitting discourse, drawing many
good lessons from the sad occasion.
He was followed in a few brief re.
marks by Rev. j. w. Sullivan, after
which the congregation was dis
missed and the march to CIR, enWoOd
was begun. There were about one
hundred and twenty five secret or
der men in line, nearly equally di-
vided between Odd Fellows and
knights OF Pythias, and this, supple
mented by large attendance of citi-
zens in carriages and buggies, made a
very lengthy procession. AT the
grave the burial service of the orders
was conducted in solemn respect, and
all that was earthly of Jno. Young
was consigned to its long resting
place and his grave was streWn with
flowers, the floral designs of both
orders being especially noteworthy.
There is something truly pa
thetic in the death of Mr.. Young,
and the tender devotion shown his
mortal remains by his brethren is
akin to that shown the ashes of a
father by loyal children. They all
loved him and will respect his
memory.
