Comptroller Heppenheimer's Report.
The Trenton State Gazette says of
Comptroller Heppenheimer's report
1T sets forth the financial operations
of every department OF the State Gov
ernmcnt, succinctly and with great
clearness and intelligence. The vari-
Gus sources from which the State de-
rives its revenues and the different
objects for which these revenues are
expended, are all arranged and set out
in the clearest and most systematic
way"
The Gazette further adds that "the
State is in a most prosperous financial
condition. 1t has paid all the ex-
traordinary expenses of the past year,
and several overdue appropriations,
besides discharging all the current ex-
penses of government, and closed the
year with the comfortable balance of
$401, 1853. SO in the Treasury"
This, from the leading Republican
newspaper in the State, is a sufficient
rebuke to the dishonesty manifested
in the Philadelphia and New York
newspapers, whose antipathy to Gov
ernor Albeit, coupled with desire
to injure his administration. seems to
have filled them with insanity. They
should take lesson from the Trenton
4nzette
The Jersey City news., 1892-02-04
As to John e. Dunno.

1t is alleged that a number of friends
of John E. Dunno propose to obstruct
the resignation of that detestable
wretch from the John Z. Dunno AS
sociation at the meeting tonight.
Very we'll. Let them do so. Then 1t
will be in order for all the respectable
members of the Association to resign
in body, leaving the ten or a dozen
endorsers of adultery and poltroonery
to flock by themselves around their
precious STANDARD bearer"
OF all the exhibitions of brazen in
decency that the public OF these parts
have lately been treated to, that
of Dunno on the witness stand at the
Coroner's inquest in Hoboken was
one of the worst we can recall. He
gloried in his infamy. in his vile con-
duct towards the dead woman and
her husband, and above all in his
dexterity and promptitude in leaving
her to pay the penalty.
Can there be in the big Hill district,
anything calling itself man that will
not feel disgraced by association with
this cowardly cur.
The Jersey City news., 1892-02-04

THE State Gazette makes this morn
ing the following libellous statement
regarding distinguished Republican
leader
Senator Hudspeth found that Senator Gardner
was loaded. A large number OF others have
made the melancholy discovery, but generally
when too late.
This is shocking. We thought the
Senator from Atlantic was strictly
temperate.
THE World again covered itself with
infamy and disgraced the profession
of journalism through organizing its
reporters into gang of armed bri-
gands in connection with the Connec-
ticut child stealing case. This is the
sort of conduct that brings news
papers into discredit There is no more
reason why reporters should arm
themselves as posse of amateur de-
tectives than there is for the Pinker-
ton banditti against which the World
has so often thundered.

Pitcher Stein was born in Detroit Sept.

engagement was secured in 1889 with the

and finally went To the Chicagos. Arson
kept him into the season of 1891, after which
he let him 20. Then lie Kansas Citys took
him up, and he played there till Ward
