Those Queer Gas Bills.

A. letter from Trenton which we
print in another column, read in con
junction with the brief local item
which follows it, discloses a most re
markabe scheme to raid the City
Treasury. The anxiety of Mr.. Bob
Elliott of the United Gas Improve.
ment Company to secure the passage
of Assembly Bill No. 1876. the one
which he so imperiously insisted on
Mr.. O'Neill's reporting, has excited
much talk. Nobody had ever heard
of the city owing Mr. Elliott's com.
pany anything for street lighting. and
people wondered why he should be sc
anxious to have a bill passed provid-
ing for the payment by an issue OF
bonds of debts which did not exist.
Does the city secretly owe some
back gas bill, which has been kept out
of sight until a way could be found to
pay it?-this was the question every
one asked.
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS investi-
gated this point and found that no
such debt existed. The city owed the
Gas Company nothing when the Po-
lice Board turned over the control OF
the street lighting to the Street and
Water Board. Clerk Bouton says
he has no cognizance of any arrears
accumulated since.
AT this point Mr.. Elliott's eager de-
sire for Bill No. 1876 becomes more in
explicable than ever.
Meanwhile our Trenton correspond
ent's attention was attracted to the
rider tackled on to Mr.. Kalisch's Street
and Water Board Investigation bill
(No. 1883. This appendix gives the
Street and Water Board authority to
make a gas contract for any period
not exceeding ten years. 1t was given
out that it was a wicked Newark
scheme in which Jersey City had no
concern. We believe this is untrue.
We believe the scheme is aimed at
Jersey City. We believe the Newark
end of it is wholly or partly blind.
However that may be, the bill is
perniciously bad. Mr. Kalisch and
its other hackers knew it was bad.
If they did not know that very well,
they would not have tried to conceal
it by making it a rider on a bill
drafted TO effect q wholly different
purpose. We earnestly direct Gov
ernor Abbett's attention to this meas
ure. 1t will bear all the scrutiny he
can give it, before he gives it his ap-
proval.
But, it may be asked, where is the
connection between No. 126 and No.
153? Why here it is. The Street and
Water Board might have made con-
tract with Mr.. Elliot's company fol
gas and electric lights for the
city at SO much u light. The
Board OF Finance might have allowed
certain appropriation--say $780, ,OO(
The Jersey City news., 1892-03-16

as at present. The Street and Water
Board might then have ordered any
number of lights it chose at the con-
tract price, without any reference to
the question whether the appropria-
tion would be sufficient to pay for
them or not. When the lights had
been burned the Board of Finance
would have had to issue bonds
to pay for them, for Bill NO.
126, if Mr.. Elliott's rash zeal
had not defeated it, would not only
have covered debts now existing,
but all that might in the flu
ture be contracted, and its provisions
would have been mandatory so far as
the issue of bonds and payment OF ac-
crued bills were concerned. 1t is the
old system of unbalanced contracts
which was for years crying scandal
in New York. If Jersey City or possi-
bly, Newark makes a longtime con-
tract under No. 153, you may be pretty
sure another effort will be made to
get No. 1926 through the Legislature
next year.

WHAT preposterous exhibition OF
Misunderstanding and inutility the
Ministers caucus afforded yesterday.
No two could be found to agree upon
anything, no two could be induced to
walk the same way. Nobody had a
practical idea or practical plan, and
under the whole ran the undercurrent
of feeling that the whole affair was of
Just as little Importance to the Re
publican as to the Democratic party.
When it came to the pinch. the
gathering had not courage or convie-
ton enough to recommend candidate
to the Republican party, feeling that
the recommendation would have no
weight, and fearing to be made
ridiculous.
Oh, most tame and impotent corr
clusion of Mr.. Scudder's most re-

Capt. Sam Ashes Opinion.

The News and Observers estimate is !:
North Carolina has gone democratic for
both the presidential and state tickets by
q round majority ranging anywhere from
10000 up.
Estimates at democratic headquarters
At midnight placed the democratic ma
iority as high as $4,000: 1t is glorious
victory.
Chairman John B. Eaves, of the repub-
lican committee, gave it Up at midnight
and went down TO the democratic head
quarters about - o'clock to tender his
congratulations. Il concede the state to
the democrats" said Mr.. Eaves, "by .
safe majority. | also concede the elec-
tion of MIR. Cleveland. There may be a
chance for Dir. Harrison if Indiana should
turn up for him, but that is hardly prob
able"
Chairman Simmons says both branches
of the legislature are safe 10 the demo-
Gratis, and be is confident that every dis
trict has elected democratic congress-
man.
At o'clock a. m. the returns received
from the counties showed 4 net gain of
over 1000, which will run the majority
up TO from 5000 to $4,000.

Explanation.

The omission of Lindsay's vote in sew.
eral precincts is because no record of it
was obtainable. For the same reason,
the judicial vote, and also that for treas
urer, register of deeds and coroner does
not appear. 1t is conceded Mr.. Lindsay
is left very far behind and that the entire
democratic ticket has good majority in
the county.
Pope led both Pickett, peoples party,
and Workman, prohibitionist, for treas
urer, so far that no one kept the figures,
and they cannot be had correctly before
the official count. The same is true in
regard TO the vote for governor.
Markham, for sheriff, leads the ticket
with something over 700 majority. Fuller
goes to the legislature with good ma
jority. This county also gives Williams
a ma jority for congress.
The election was quiet and orderly all
over the county. But few challenges
were made, and no disturbance of any
kind at any precinct.

necticut the returns show q steady ad-

ties of Interest to All Readers
Of The Globe.

Henry Rogers pleads guilty to much
very had mischief yet Tue GLOBE would
caution moderation.
After long talk with him this morn
ing-lasting fully half hour, Rogers
admitted to Mr. Fairbrother that he had
robbed eight houses in Durham yet he
claims that a white man had been the fel
low who did the business.
Rogers told the editor of THE GLOBE,
and reiterated his statement in the pres
ence of Chief Woodall, that two white
men were the real fellows
This was his confession, and he had
cried before he made it. He also said
that he had broken into eight different
houses in Durham; that he was sorry,
and all this and that.
He said that he had been in the work
house in Wake county and had been here
but two weeks, whe1 he fell in with a
white man named Gerton, and that they
met at the Parrish stables, and there
concocted their plots and planned all
their business.
He further says that the white man
Gerton is now at Henderson, or was, the
last he heard of him. He says, also, that
Rufus Rogers, now in Jail, was his only
accomplice, but that Gerton had help
with another white man called Frank
his first name he did not know.
Rogers says that Gerton gave them
both pistols and told them to shoot them
off-always in the air, simply to scare
folks.
He further says that he made the state
ment above written because he thought
the people had imposed upon him, and
because he simply asked Justice of them.
The story of Woodalps experience in
catching the fellow reads like novel
and we will print it tomorrow.
In the meantime, let the people of Dur
ham let justice take its course and justice
will then have chance.

TRINITY COLLEGE, DURHAM, n. G,
November "A much larger number of
students than usual went homo to vote
this year, although political interest in
this college community has been much
less exciting this campaign than it was
four years ago. The college in politics is
theme of never ending interest. In
New England and the middle states stu
dents have formed rival political clubs
and have been very active in campaign
work. Most of the colleges touch poll
tics on the question of the tariff. There
are many questions like banking, bi-
mettalism, currency, immigration and
other practical themes in which colleges
have the same interest that citizens have.
At Trinity, good deal of attention is
given to the preparation of students FOR
the successful study of such topics of
the day.
