out of this church and getting into their
carriages. Daniel Rian, a driver for
Morau's stables. cut into the line of car
riagas in trout Of the church in order to
get his passengers first.

carriage belonging to Undertaken Speers
and turned 1T over on the curb, break

horses down. Fortunately there was no
one 10 the carriage at the time.

1he Saloon SiOS1H2 arCe.
Try again, Mr.. Superintendent. You
made a failure of it yesterday; put
perhaps you may have more success
next Sunday if you can convince your
policemen that you mean what you
say when you tell them to close the
saloons.
That is where the trouble comes in,
Mr.. Christie Smith. They don't think
you mean it,
Now we are bound to assume that
Colonel Wanser is very much in earn
est in his desire to close the saloons on
Sunday. If he is not, the people who
nominated him and who think they
elected him, are. They want the
saloons closed-Dr. Scudder, DIR.
Brett, Mr.. McMinn and all the strict
church element, which it is
claimed, rallied to the support
of the Republican candidate in
the recent election. II Colonel
Wanser is not in earnest in his design
to close the saloons, he will soon hear
from this element in a way tn at will
knock his gubernatorial boom sky
high. If he is in earnest you will very
soon hear FROM him, Mr.. Christie pher
P. Smith. unless you make a much
greater success of your work than you
did yesterday.
If the popular mandate meant any
thing last month, it meant that the
ind~ecencies of rum rule must come to
an end in this town. One of the
worst of these indecencies is the open
sale of rum on Sundays in gross and
open violation of law. Judge Lip
pincott observes the force of the
peoples command, and he says the
law must be enforced. We say it is
proper and right that Colonel Wan
ser should do the thing he IA elected
to do. If the majority of the people
don't like it, they can get their remedy
from the Legislature next winter, in
the shape of a relaxation of the law.
If the majority believe in the law as
it is, they believe in its enforcement,
and, of all people in the city, Colonel
Wanser cannot afford to defy the
popular will.
Something of a beginning was made
yesterday. Some of the most con-
spicuous saloons were closed. From
the Ferry to Grove street on Mont
gomery. only two were open for the
sale of liquor. On the Hill, the con-
cert gardens were silent and decent
for the first time in years. This may
pass for a beginning, but it will not
do. Out of nine hundred and odd
saloons in Jersey City, not two hun
dred were really closed-perhaps not
one hundred, but assuredly and abso-
Iutely not two hundred.
Now, this is a mere mockery. 1t is,
besides, an outrageous discrimination.
1t is an abuse by which the most re-
pectable and law abiding saloon

MONDAY. MAY 2.
This paper is democratic in principles
and is independe]et In its Utelps on all
local questions.
The New Mavor

Colonel Wanser takes office today
under pleasant and favorable aus
pices. He goes in with large popu-
lar majority, and with an outlook for
SO long a term of Office ahead of him
that, ii he really has it in him to dc
good, he can do it without fear OF
favor. OF course, he has not a COM
plete administration. of his own party
to aid him; but that ought to-. be a
help rather than a h%indrance to a re-
forming spirit. Mayor Wanser might
lind 1t a delicate task to deal with the
errors and offences of Republicans; he
can have no hesitancy in handling
Democratic Boards. At the same time,
he cannot plead their shortcomings as
any excuse for failure to accomplish
positive results on his own account,
for he has two weapons which no
board, whatever its politics may be,
can stand against; first the veto, and
second the refusal to sign warrants
unless by order of Court.
II Mayor Wanser does not like what
goes on hereafter, he ian stop it.
That is all there is about it. He is
substantially autocratic, and the
people may hold him fully responsible
for every abuse he allows to exist. He
cannot object to this responsibility, in
view of his own campaign promises
ana the praises of his supporters.
Colonel Wanser can show he is in
earnest by two acts, which can be
made to show public results within a
week, He can drive out the policy
dealers, whose name is legion in this
city, and he can make the rum sellers
obey the law. Will he do these
things?
We de sire to offer him our respect
full compliments on his first appoint
ments-those to the Board bf Educa-
ton. They are admirable. I'VE desire
to say that with us, in municipal mat
tiers, the people come before party.
II Colonel Wanser lives up to his
pledges, and is a good Mayor, we will
not blame him for being a Republican
one. <

Three propositions for admission to the
