No Prospect Of the Board
Of Controls Edict
Being Raised.
GOOD RAGING ON THE HILL
Ma Belle Rsgalns Her Position as
a Purse Winner.

A morning paper announces with q great
flourish OF trumpets that the war between
the Board Of control and the Hudson County
Jockey Club is nearly at an end. The article
then goes on to state the re lsons for this
belief, which are precisely the same as have
been stated In this column at different inter-
walls for weeks past.
The real truth OF the matter Is that the
Board OF control and the Hudson County
Jockey club are no nearer compromise to-
day than they were month ago Every
well-informed turfman knows that the famous
edict OF the Board OF Control against Winter
racing was directed against Guttenburg ex-
clusively. They also know that the largest
holders OF stock In the Hudson County Jockey
club are men who WELD n mighty influence In
New Jersey politics.
How the Monmouth Association Jared In its
efforts to pass n bill through the Legislature
last year is matter Of history, the details OF
which only the aforementioned politicians
can give. Having Jailed In its efforts to pass
thirty-day race bill last year, the Month.
mouth Association, as member OF the Board
OF control, besought that body to assist In
passing bill this year. Peaceablc measures
would not do, so the boycott was placed upon
Guttenburg in the hope that the big pol
iticians would be forced to come to terms.
such is a brief history OF the racing situa-
tion up to date.
The Board OF Control antagonized the people
they should make friends OF. The big four
OF Hudson county, Messrs. Mclaughlin. Carr,
Walbaum and Crusius, have grown enorm-
ously rich from the profits Of their race track,
and with this wealth came additional power.
The ssverest sufferers by the closing OF the
Guttenburg track would, therefore. be the
poor horsemen and the army OF retainers and
business men OF Hoboken and Jersey City
who profit by the tracks existence.
Two weeks after the Board OF Control pro.
mulgated its famous resolution. they found
that a mistake had been made. Overtures
were then made to the Hudson county people
and the TACT was exclusively reported In this
column. since that time these offers OF CON-
promise have been made again and again, but
the answer OF the Hudson county people was:
" Withdraw the boycott and we will be ready
to talk" This the Board as a body cannot
very well do, since they have repeatedly and
publicly declared that their edict was simply
made on moral grounds. There the matter
stands. Both sides are Stubborn.
The Board would have had the sympathy
Of the public had they taken other means to
effect their purpose. In reaching for the
powerful politicians OF Hudson County, how.
ever. they strike at the poor horseman by en-
deavoring to crush out his means OF livelihood
and at the same time barring him from the
legitimate tracks. Those who profess to

VOTERS TO BE LISTED.
An important Section In the New Elec
tion Law.

There is provision in the late
election law of this State that the
voters should be appraised of.
"Acts of West Virginia, 1897
chapter 80, pages 260, 261, 262, be-
ginning at section 81, under title
(heading) "Voters to be listed"
under this and following sections
it is provided that the assessor in
each of the assessment districts,
shall make an alphabetical list of
each legal voter in his district and
return the list so made to the coun-
ty clerk, who is required to pre-
serve said list, and the list so pre-
served shall be open to the inspec-
ton of the public.
Any voter whose name has not
been entered on said list, may,
thirty days before any election he
wishes to vote at, apply to the as
SCISSOR of his district, and if he
shows to such assessor that he is a
legal voter his name shall be placed
on said list by the assessor, or he
may require such assessor to give
certificate or order to the county
clerk, who shall place the name of
such voter on said list. A certified
list of these voters $50 made by
the assessor is to be made out by
the county clerk and sent to each
precinct election commissioner to
be used at such voting place. If
the name of the voter does not APP
pear on said list it is cause for
challenge, and he may be deprived
of his vote unless he makes an affi-
davit as provided in and by sec
ton 40 of same chapter, showing
that he is a qualified and legal vo-
ter of the precinct, his name, age,
residence, occupation, place, or
places of residence during the
twelve months next prior to the
election, with the date of any re-
moval within that time, and the
names of two persons who have
personal knowledge of his resi-
dence in the county sixty (60)
days next preceding he election
Then if he does this Gas above
stately he can not be deprived OF
his vote because the assessor has
failed to place his name on the
list first above mentioned.
AS the assessors begin their du.
ties the first of April it is impor.
tant that the voters of the country
be apprised of the above law sc
that they may be prepared for the
assessor and give him hearty Co
operation in the discharge OF hi,
duties. A failure on the part of &
voter to have his name properly
registered is likely to give consid.
cradle trouble when he comes tc

interesting statement: Free coal
or free iron ore are not relished in
West Virginia and Maryland, and
there is probably scattering oppo-
sition to such legislation in north
ern Alabama and eastern Tennes-
see. Mr.. Wilson, of West Virginia,
who is considered one of the most
aggressive Tariff 'reformers' on the
Ways and Means Committee, has
suggested delay whenever the
question of reporting free iron ore
has been raised in the committee. y

free wool who was imported in
to Massachusetts to speak for the
"reformers" in the last campaign.
