The Fire Escape Bill.

One of the queerest things we ever
heard of was the opposition of Mr..
Larry Fell, the Factory Inspector to
the Jersey City and Newark Fire Es-
cape bill This fellow has never
stirred finger to have fire escapes put
up on factories. His functions do not
reach buildings of any other class.
Yet, he dares to assume the RESPONSE
bility of attempting to kill the bill.
Only a few days ago a number OF
persons suffered unspeakable agony
through fire in a Jersey City fac
tory, which, through his gross and
criminal dereliction of duty, had no
proper me ans of egress in case of fire.
1t is only the mercy of Providence
that he has not the poor peoples lives
on his head. 1t is but a little while
since a similar accident occurred in
Newark. What is the matter with
Mr.. Fell? What is his motive? Is he
Jealous of the power that he holds but
has never exercised, or is he protect
ing somebody? We wonder Governor
Albeit does not kick him out of office
ignominiously.
OF course, the Governor will sign
the Fire Escape bill. Senator Hud-
speth and Mr.. Heaney will make it
their business to direct his particular
attention to it. Then we shall call on
Alderman O'Neill and his colleagues
to set their record right before the
public by actively and stringently en-
forcing it throughout the city.

Imitators of John L. Davenport.

The Republicans showed full con-
sciousness of the weakness of their
position in the resolution adopted on
Friday night to exclude reporters
hereafter from the meetings OF their
County Committee. In the heyday
of hope when they expected the
Democracy to nominate a vulnerable
candidate for Mayor, they threw open
the doors of their councils. They
We're only too happy to get publicity
for their confident plannings.
Now all is changed. Division and
Generalization have taken possession
of them, leaders and followers alike.
Their only hope, if they have one, is in
the underhand methods of fraud and
bribery, of slander and Justification.
The plotting of these things requires
secrecy, and SO the newspapers are
to be shut out from their meetings.
The action was taken just trifle
late, however. The intention to ap-
ply the tactics of John l. Davenport
to the coming election is clearly re-
vealed in the circular of instructions
to election Officers drawn up by Mr..
Hovey and endorsed by the Commit
tee, and we may say it is fortunate
that this precious document was
brought to light at the last public
meeting.
In one word, the instructions of the
Republican leaders to their men on
the election boards, amount to
this
OBSTRUCT EVERYTHINGi
No voter must be registered who is
not pleasing to the Republicans, no
vote must be deposited which they do
not like. No returns must be signed
which are unfavorable to them. In
deed, these instructions seem to in
dicate huge conspiracy to nullify
the election by any and all means.
Disfranchisement of voters seems to
be mere incident. The overthrow
of the whole vote by the refusal of the
Republican officers to do their duty
seems to be the ultimate plan and
purpose.
Now that this plot has come to
light, it can hardly succeed. The
Democracy will be prepared for these
INSCRIPTIONS methods, and will do its
duty to the voters in rendering them
impossible. Our Republican friends
had better remember that the law
officers of this county have not been
SLOW to punish election fraud In their
own party, and they will not assur-
edly be any less ready to punish in
timidation, wilful obstruction or other
offenses against the franchise COM
mitted W Republicans.
IT is said that if Colonel Wanser
is nominated, prominent Republicans
stand ready to put up a big Doodle to
buy votes for him. General Grubb's
bar'l is TO be tapped on the pretence of
helping him to gubernatorial sue
cess in the fall. That end of the cam
paign is to be entrusted to the Gen
erals friend, Judge Seymour, and to

THE business season seems to offer
a somewhat better prospect than last
year afforded. Already the columns
of The JERSEY CITY News begin to
feel the pressure, and the season has
not fairly opened yet. The good
crops and heavy European demand
for our commodities last year will
doubtless have the effect of loosening
money this spring, and the retail
trades will get the benefit. There is
good reason to hope that there are
good times ahead this year.
The building of the new City Hall
is now an assured fact. The ground
is bought and almost cleared. The
plans are being prepared, and the
money Is secured by the passage of
the 5000, 900 bond bill. Under Allan
L. McDermott's supervision, not one
dollar of this money will go to waste
NOT to say, by any means, that the
present Commissioners would waste it
anyway. The new edifice will be a
great benefit to the city. 1t will lead
to the building up of new and hand
some business quarter on the sur
rounding blocks, and the whole city
will gain in repute. 1t will be the last
nail in Newark's coffin as the leading
city in the State. In five years Jersey
City will be the handsomest as well as
biggest and the busiest of Jersey mu-
nicipalities.

Mooui INDIAN ALslNos.

Supposed to Take Their characterization
from an Extinct Cannibal Tribe.
There are several albinos among the
Moqui tribe of Indians on the Moqui
reservation in Apache county, Arizona,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. Some
of these albinos are pure white with
regular Indian features-reddish yell
low hair and blue eyes. Others, again,
have pink eyes, which are constantly
twinkling as If suffering from some
nervous affection. There Is Of the
albino girls, about twelve or thirteen
years old, attending the government
school at Kearn's canyon. She is N of
the brightest scholars In the school.
Her parents are pure Indian and unusu-
ally dark colored. l saw another albino
among them, a m a Of about forty or
forty-fve years of age, and small In
stature. His hair was long and coarse
and of a light yellow, eyes a bright
blue with a reddish CLINT, and constant

eral more of these people among the
Moquis.
The late Piute princess, Saran Winnie
mucca, makes mention of these peculiar
people In her book. She speaks of the
tradition among her people that a tribe
once existed there having yellow hair
and pink eyes, who were cannibals, and
were driven by the Piutes and other
tribes southwark, presumably to New

CUT HIS THROAT IN A CAR.
Albert L. Stanton, of Jersey City, Kill
Himself Near Poughkeepsie.

Himself Near Poughkeepsie.
P-oUeHKEEPsIE, N Y, May 1s.-The
man who committed suicide on the
Southwestern limited express between
here and Hyde Park, yesterday, has been
identified as Albert L. Stanton, of Jer-
sey City. His method of killing him
self was tragic in the extreme.
While the train was going at full speed
Stanton suddenly arose, and, stepping
to the centre of the car, exclaimed;
"Well ] might as we'll do it now" and
the next instant he cut his throat from
ear to ear with the blade of a common
pocket knife. The blood spurted over
the seats of the parlor car and bespat-
tered several of the other passengers,
who rushed from the car in terror and
reckless confusion. The desperate sui
eide fell to the floor and died before the
train reached Poughkeepsie, where Coro-
ner Joseph @. Frost took charge of the
remains.
Papers have been found on Stanton
which show that he was in the employ
of Cross & Bequelin, jewellers, of II
Maiden Lane, New York city. In his
pocket was a subpoena calling him to
Lyons, N. Y, as a witness before a
Wayne county jury against Oliver G.
Perry, the celebrated express robber.
The subpoena was dated May 10. Some
receipts for dues paid the Oceanic Yacht
Club of Jersey City, were also found on
his person, together with a silver watch
and a gold chain. No money whatever
was found in his pockets.
The dead man is evidently about 30
years old, and is very respectable in APP
pearance. The incident created the
widest excitement on the train, and the
interior of the car was partially de-
stroyed by the blood. The suicide was
first noticed on the train at Albany, but
had come from Lyons. 1t is believed that
he was insane.

OCCASIONALLY there are Democratic
outbursts in Congress that are better
than a play. Such vas the case the
other day when Fellows, of New
York, who served several years in the
Confederate service, turned to the
Republican side, and addressing par
ticularly the members from the
Northwestern states, exhorted them
to make preparations to "preserve
every star upon u flag and keep its
Iustre undimmed." Considering that
this utterance was from an Arkansas
ex-rebel, and was addressed to the
representatives OF the loyal states Of
the Northwest, including a number of
manned Union veterans, MIR. Fellows
performance was well calculated to
make a horse laugh.
