Newark and Jcrsey city Finance.


The bitterness of Comptroller Con-
neIly's remarks regarding the success-
iui refunding OF Jersey City's debt is
a strange and not over pleasing ex-
hibition. Newark's jealousy OF Jer-
sey City is notorious 1t is not, per-
haps, greatly to be wondered at; but
this plain unblushing display Of acri-
mony on the part of a high public
official might be pronounced indecent,
if one were looking for hard epithets.
We are sorry Newark's credit is not
better than it is; but really Sc, 400, 900
is rather a large loan for a place Of her
size to attempt to float in just one
year. Apparently, she has bitten of
more than she can masticate, as a Bos-
tonian might observe, and her rash
ness and v~ain-glory are meeting with
the practical rebuke they deserve 1t
will seem specially amusing to those
who watched the struggle owe the
Mullone water bill at Trenton,
last winter, to find that she is
not able or is hardly able
to raise alone the money to pay for
her water works. Perhaps some Of
her great leaders may regret before
they are through with the contract
that they did not let Jersey City come
in and share benefits and expense.
MI. Connolly is especially offended
by two circumstances, the fact that
Jersey City's property is assessed $12,-
600, 900 above that of Newark, and the
large amount in our Sinking Fund.
He cannot control his acerbity
over these things. 1t is a pity.
We are truly sorry. But it seems
to us that Jersey City's assessment
puts Newark on the horns of a diem
ma. If it is, indeed. $12. 900, 600 higher
than that of Newark, it follows that
this city is either richer or honester
than her neighbor. We leave the
point for Mr. ConneIly's decision.
The whole display proves n thing:
the rapidity with which Jersey City
is distancing her rival in the race for
State metropolitan honors.

cult Court gave Judgment and rendered a
decree in the suit brought by Charles NJ.

reimbursement of the complainants. The
present owners of the land in question are

THE WOMEN OF WYOMING.

A Review of the Country in Which W omen

Editor IF0mdn'S Column Morning Call:
The men of Wyoming did very fine thing
when they decided to retain suffrage for
women. They are proud and pleased, and
the women are more proud of them and
more pleased still, SO all is lovely IN the
high attitudes.
Theresa A. Jenkins. writing from Chey-

sired to retain the suffrage, we so pettioned

ments to prove this. Now | claim this. that
our municipal laws are better because of

men. No man with an unworthy record
can get denomination, let alone re-elec-
ton. We, the women, get the blame for
this. Our schools are under no political
ring; not teacher, not a school board.
Can you say this of Iowa? We have no
steals, no bosses, no rings. Our benevolent
institutions are under no censure. We, the

DANA WILL CONTEST.
Cummins Proves a Poor Witness
for the Proponents.

The Luigi Dana will contest was re-
sumed before Judge COffey yesterday, Will
lam T. Cummins being further cross
examined.
The witness was offered for comparison
two papers, known as the "short memoir
andum" and "Ex. j. TO-" whereupon he
pointed out various similarities in the forma-
ton of photographic characters. The couu-
sci next presented a number of papers, let
ters from May, 1888. to 1887, at time after
the making of the alleged will, and asked
him to pick out letters that in his Judgment
resemble the papers alleged to be forged.
The witness replied that ne saw two letters
looking very much like those in the alleged
will, and which, in his Judgment were writ
ten by the same hand.
The witness then pointed out the par
ticuiar points in which he detected liberal
resemblances in the various documents, but
reiterated that he did not profess TO be an
expert. Only from their general resemblance
to genuine writings had lie arrived at the
conclusion as to the authenticity of the Will.
The brother Of the witness. a. Ii. Cum
minis, deceased, owed him 500 at the time of
his death. The deceased in his lifetime was
an attorney in the contest on the side of the
proponents and his widow had promised
that out OF whatever fee he should receive as
snch attorney the SEQ should be paid to the
Attorney KowalskY's questioning to eStab-
liSh the fact that the witness might be biased
in giving his testimony.
The witness further testified: Shortly
after Columbus Warehouse testified in this
case in December, 1890, called upon him for
the purpose of getting all the light l could
on the subject of the will. | told him that
my brother said that French and Burtis
having got hold of the papers, Smith was
afraid they might get hold of some other pd-
per, and for that reason they employed
French.
II do not recollect that l said that his
(WaterhOuSe's) testimony made such an i'm
preston on me that | came to believe that
the Will was forgery, nor that L said that
II the viii was forgery, they had muir
dered my deceased friend; but | do say that
now. Professor Dana said to me of Mrs
Smith that she was great worker, but she
had no particular voice; that she had nearly
reached the stage when her lungs would
open as he called it. | think | said my
brother was disappointed because she en-
ployed French and not him, but this was
prior to the contest"
DR.. c. B. Brigham then took the stand,
and testified that he had attended Dana in
his last Illness. The deceased was on the
very threshold of death, ana in the opinion
OF the witness his own failure to properly
observe the physicians directions was the
result OF his sudden demise. A few hours
before his death the doctor had tapped"
him, taking two bucketfuls of drOpsical mat
ter from him. "In his consequently weak
condition." continued the witness, :" he
arose from bed, walked about and exerted
himself much more than was conducive to
his recovery" 1t WAS DR.. Brigham's firm
conviction that these circumstances produced
the sudden collapse.

they appeared in gowns designed by Ameri-

Americans. If the American woman cannot
feel happy without bearing a name in gilt
letters on the belt of her bodice let it be

right when she declares that we take too

Heretofore the great draw back to speed
