THE HUNG-UP PAYROLLS.
Street and Water Board Invites
Arbitration-Public I'm.
pr0vements.

The Street and Water Commissioners
this morning sunstantiated their state
ments to the effect that they desired har-
Eony in all branches of the city govern
ment. This morning the Board adopted
the following resolutions:-
Whereas a difference exists between the ex-
ecutive of the city and this Board in the matter
of committee appointments, and
Whereas believe that it is to the interests
of the city that an adjustment should be speedily
arrived at in order that laborers may be
promptly, paid for services performed, and
the credit of the city in connection be
re-estabshed, and believing that contest
in the courts would prove to be most expen-
sive and lengthy method of settlement and that
adjustment could be otherwise arrived at with
OUT sacrifice of official dignity and in manner
practically as correct; be it
Resolved, That His Honor be requested to ap-
point such lawyer or other individual IN whom
he reposes confidence, that this Board appoint
like individual and that the two appointed shall
chose some third party to act with them as
whole in cons tituting a Board of Arbitration,

be privileged to send for such persons and
papers as may be necessary to arrive at a fuli
understanding of the matter. and that when
decision shall have been arrived at by all or
majority of said Board SO appointed that such
decision shall be accepted as final.

Jim Crows Tricks.

One day last week good housewife In
West Bergen was shocked to see all the
linen that mad been hung out to dry, scat
tered around in the dust of the back
yard. She placed the blame ON the boys OF
a neighbor, and for a week was not at all
friendly in that direction. On Thursday
she decided to watch the clothes line so
that the boys could not again play prae-
tical joke so utterly cruel. Fancy the
surprise of the good woman when. in
stead of bad boys. she saw a crow, as
black az midnight itself. edge himself
along the clothes Hue and proceed to pull
the clothes pins from their places.
Caught in the act. the mischief maker
gave squawk and flew back into the yard
of the family living on the side opposite
that of the suspected boys. This crow
had no other name than "Jim Crow. y
He was so funny at times and so curious
bird altogether, that his master en-
joyed his company But with the neign-
bors it was different, and on Saturday
s,Jim Grow" died.

NO BARGAIN WITH CRIME.
Judge Lippincott Warns Ballot Box
Suffers Who May Plead
Guilty.

The ballot box suffers who have not
yet been tried, realizing -om the result of
previous trials that IT, onviction was
almost certainty, have -. some time
been talking about pleading guilty. and
throwing themselves on the mercy OF the
Court. Their lawyers have talked the
matter over. and have tried in various
ways 10 learn if Judge Lippincott would
exercise clemency IL their clients pleaded
guilty. 1t has been rumored at the
Court House that Judge Lippincott would
be lenienJ towards the suffers ii they
hinted that an extremely light punish
ment would be meted out.
This morning Judge Lippincott dashed
these PEOPLE to the ground.
MAT" Fowler, James Gordon and Billy
Reen, the last batch of convicted election
officers, were at the Court House ready to
receive their sentence. They looked de-
Jected aud unhappy. AS soon as Judges
Lipplncott and Kenney took their seats
on the bench Judge Lippiucott said:-
1.-THE Court desires to state that an init
nation has been made to the Court
that it is the desire and in
tention of some of the indicted
election officers to plead guilty aud
ask the clemency of the Court. From the
ncClOn OF the COurG IN the past, ana per-
haps from what the Court may have itself
said on previous occasions. there may
have arisen in the minds of some of the
Indicted election officials an understand
Ing that much clemency would be exer-
cised by the Court in their behalf.
Il desire that no understanding exist in
this matter, and, therefore. it is we'll now
co say that the Court will not indicate in
any way the degree of punishment or
clemency which will be exercised in such
cases. If any plead guilty. it must be on
the distinct understanding that there
exists no promise or indication whatever
as to the sentence. II such cases arise,
the Court will Investigate the facts OF
each case and award that punishment
which in IT'S Judgment it deems justice
requires"
Judge Lippincott then said that he
would postpone sentence in the cases Of
Fowler, Reen and Jordan for two weeks.

Burdette on the Strawberry.

What is needed in the small fruit mar
ket is not so many names but q few more
berries. say about two pints to the quart.
Every berry in the land has more names
now than Il caterpillar. aud he has more
than ne can remember. When he begins
business he is a plain caterpillar. and every
body WHO steps on him knows just what
to call him. Then he retires-that is, if
he has chance to retire befole he is
larva; then be gets to be q pupa or
chrysalis or something. and By the time
ne gets to be butterfly he forgets what
the old firm name was. You are probably
thinking of some people just now who,
like the strawberry. travel on their names.
And do not just exactly know how they
got them, her.--LodieS' Homo Jour

"You need not groan in that manner y
said his Honor, We're on to your tricks
by this time. This little groaning bust

took away the food provided for your
baby and ate 1t yourself and If the Of

you would have smothered it to death

Here are some of the facts concerning
it that they had impressed upon them;

sim Higher Wages,

Middlebury News; The Aberfoyle
Manufacturing company at Chester,
Pa, one of the largest textile manu-
featuring concerns in this country, last
week announced an increase of 10 per
cent in the wages Of the weavers and
employees in some of the other depart
ments.
The manager of the mill said the
business was so good that they could
afford to pay more for labor. Then
he added ironically of the rise: ''Oh,
no, of course the tariff policy of the
Republicans had nothing to do with
the raise. 1t is the proximity of
Mars.
The puddlers of Hooven's rolling
mill at Norristown were granted an
increase of 25 cents ton over the rate
now paid, making their wages here

the proposition for the abolition of the

will be recalled by thousands and hun
dreds of thousands of the people
through the country, and no man who
has had any experience with it will
want to return to it. 1t means local

means that each State of the Union

Democracy aud Free Trade.
New York Sun, DEM

New OrR sun, (DcmD
On the Democratic side there is a
cOnsiderab BILE weakness which it would
be vain to cover up with any attempt
at Disgusting the facts. 1t grows out
of the profound division of the party
upon the controversy between free
trade and protection. The weakness
which proceeds from this cause is
especially manifested in the wild and
frantic attempts of the extreme free
trade faction to push into absorbing and
monopolizing prominence the free trade
plank which they forced into the Chi
cago platform by the votes of 564 dele
gates, against the votes of 352 dele
gates, who then and there proclaimed
themselves as reformers, not smashers,
of the tariff, as protectionists and
not free traders Their browning
efforts at Chicago and all their
efforts since seem to bear the
stamp of Il determined pur-
pose to defeat the National
Democratic ticket. In season and out
of season, all places and all occasions
are seized upon to proclaim and to
magnify their fanatical determination
to establish free trade with foreign
countries, to destroy the ancient and
venerable American system of protec-
ton toward foreign production and of
free trade at home; and consequently
to promote the election of Harrison.
