Public Libraries Here and in
Newark.

Public Libraries Hero and in
Newark.
In opposing the erection of a new
library building, the Newarkers are
once again in an attitude of antago-
nism to that which judicious Jersey
citizens are likely to take up. New
ark wants the Library appropriation
curtailed because the Trustees can
find nothing better to do with the
money than build a useless building
in an inconvenient locality. In pass
ing, we may remark that the Trustees
must be queerly fitted for their office.
But Jersey City would very gladly
keep on paying the tax for ten years
If her Trustees would undertake to
erect a suitable building-in a central
and convenient location, of course
There Is nothing to complain of in
the situation of the present library. 1t
is central, accessible by horse car, and
in general, altogether convenient.
Tue space, too, Is sufficient for the i'm
mediate needs of the institution. Al
together, the Trustees are to be
praised for doing as we'll as they have,
by way of a temporary arrangement.
But the Public Library of a city like
this should figure in it as n of its
characteristic institutions, and as long
as it burrows In a hired basement, it
is characteristic in a way that one is
not inclined to boast of.
A building costing say $50, 600 to
$75, 900, erected somewhere between
Washington street and Jersey avenue,
Newark avenue and Grand street
would help to give the city that fine
appearance which is so necessary to
raise its reputation and esteem to a
grade commensurate with its popula-
ton and wealth. 1t would help to
enhance real estate values. 1t would
increase the public pride and interest
in the Library. Finally, it would
provide for the growth of the institu-
. ton and would afford accommodation
| for students Of which they are, prac'
tically, altogether debarred while the
Library remains in its present quar-
tiers.
We hope the Trustees will &c
down to Trenton this year with
building bill. If they do, they will
have general support in resisting 6
reduction of the annual appropria-
ton. Otherwise, we believe Jersey
City and Newark will make common
cause and place the appropriation
under control of the financial officer
of the city, with a minimum limit. O
course, of from $50, 600 to $40, 900.

MICHAEL MDONOUGH INSANE.

The Ex-Freeholder's Sudden Attack of
2 FrenzV-Lncked Up in the jail.
Something OF q sensation was created
in the n~eighborhood of the Court House
yesterday when it was learned that
Ex-Freeholder Michael McDonough was
confined in the County Jail violently in
sane. It was the principal topic of con-
versation among the politicians and law
yers, and on ali sides expressions of sor-
row for the family of the afflicted mau
were heard.
McDonough was a member ofthe Board
of Freeholders during the years 1885. 1886
and 1887. He has an interestin & family
and was well liked by every
body. OF late years McDonougt
has, conducted a saloon at No.
family in apartments overhead. For a
year he has been in ill health, but never
gave evidence that his mind was in the
least affected until Saturday night.
His family had just left the dinner
table when he began to act queerly. He
mumbled to himself and gesticulate d
wildly. The efforts of mis- family to pacify
him seemed only to have a tendency to
make him worse. Suddenly he fell on
his knees and began to pray with the
fervor of a maniac.
The members of his family had by this
time become thoroughly alarmed. aud
several of the ~neichbors were called in.
McDoneugh was very violent, aud it re-
CURED the efforts of Deputy Jailer Han
ley and several Others to subdue him.
Word was sent to the police of Captain
Newton's precinct, and a warrant for his
arrest was issued.
When the warrant was about to be
served yesterday afternoon. it was re-
ported that McDonough was resting q
great deal easier, and the execu tion was
delayed. Last night, however, he be-
came more violent than before, and
the members Of the family were
compelled to call on Detective Keenan, to
take him to the County Jail. Detective
keenan, aud Deputy Jailer Hanley sue
ceeded in getting him there. and DIR,
Converse examined him yesterday and
he was taken from the County Jail to the
Snake Hill Asylum later in the day. Ii

THE GROWING WEST SIDE.

A building boom is under way in West Ber-
gen. and houses are going up with remarkable
rapidity. On almost every thoroughfare in the
district, one or more houses is in course of
house, the tendency and demand being for
small houses OF the two-story variety. West
Bergen's principal thoroughfale-West Side
avenues backward as far as new buildings are
concerned. the prices asked for lots being too
high for the average settler in the district. This
backwardness is made up by the rapid growth OF
Boyd and Virginia avenues and Morton place.
Several things combine TO bring new people to
this section of the city. The principal one is
the handsome new school house on Virginia ave
nue., which will afford room Ir several hundred
children. The West Side horsecar line has also
had much to do with the development Of the
saction.

As to Police discipline.

We do not doubt at all that there
was a good deal of truth in Po-
lice Superintendent Christopher p.
Smiths letter to the Commissioners
regarding the moral condition of the
Force. The Superintendent has said
it, and, if he does not know, who
does?
But Mr.. Smith took a manifestly
wrong method to effect a reform.
The only true course for him is that
which the Commissioners have invited
him to pursue. He should put his fin
geron the bad spots, so that the Com
missioners can gouge them out and
replace them with sound material.
In his highly significant style, Pres
ident Feeney, who, by the way,
carries more discipline in a glance OF
his eye than all the other officials OF
the Police Department in their whole
personalities put together, intimated
that Mr.. Smiths letter was designed
to put the Commissioners in a hole.
1t certainly looked that way. Mr..
Smiths allegations were so exceeding.
~ vague and general, that it remained
for the Commissioners to take every
iota of responsibility for any change
tIrat might result, every particle OF
odium which might ensue from either
action or inaction.
OF course the Commissioners 90 not
want to evade responsibility. They
are perfectly prepared to act, and tc
act with emphasis in case of any fail
ure, neglect. or wrong-doing being
proven against any member of the
Department. They will act decisively,
beyond all doubt. upon all charges
that may be presented to them
But they do not propose that any
ady else shall ska sl6 Tie responsible

HE NEVER HAD SMALLPOX.

John Schultz, a Union Hill grocer, is about to
commence a suit against Hudson county for
so, 600. His complaint is that on June Z last,
while enjoying excellent health. he was seized,
and after being subjected to q earned discourse
from Dr.. Saltonstahl, a Health Inspector, was
lue ged off to Snake Hill on the assumption that
he had smallpox. His business suffered and his
children were vaccinated by the health officers
so unskillfully, he says, that sickness ensued.
Schultz adds that he never had smallpox and
therefore the action of the health officers was
arbitrary and unjustifiable.
Mr.. Alexander Simpson IS Schultz's counsel.

On some of the double decked

there is a danger which is both very
serious and very easily remedied. 1t
is in the old converted side-wheelers.
There is just by the lowest landing of

large window which is wholly unpro-
tected by ratings or hand rails of any
kind. 1t might easily happen that If
the boat gave a lurch as some one was
coming down or ascending the stairs,
he might be pitched headlong out

In the following paragraph, pub.
-ished on Saturday morning the State
Gazette makes a most extraordinary
mistake
Less than five hundred out Of the three hun
dred and odd thousand voters registered in
New Jersey failed to vote at the last election.
The number OF names on the poll books was
340,T33. The number of ballots voted, including
1893 rejected for various reasons, was $40. 240.
Such a close polling of the vote was probably
never before Known.
In this city alone, the vote was s, 100
less than the registration. the differ
ence being about twenty per cent.
We should say the difference between
the vote and the registration for the
whole State was about so, 900. Per-

really meant. 1t might be interest
