WHAT WILL JIM SMITH DO?
lie Cannot Be Subway Commissioner
and Newark Water Boss
Together.
Spe cial to the Jersey city Ne,cs.


, NEWARK. March Is, 1892.-James Smith,
Jr., was appointed a member of the Elec-
trical Subway Commission on Thursday
by Governor Albeit. Mr.. Smith is at
present the President of the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners of this
city. Section l of the act creating the
Board of Street and Water Commiss ion
ers contains the following provision:-
No such commissioner shall accept or
hold any other place OF public trust or emolu-
ment within the elective franchise nor any ap-
pointment to public office. unless he shall first
resign his said office; and if he shall accept
such other office without having resigned his
Office of such commissioner, upon his acc eptance
OF such place of appointment, his office OF com
missioner shall thereupon become vacant,
1t is clear, therefore, that Mr.. Smith
cannot serve both the Subway Commis-
sion and the Board of Works. When DIR.
II ugh c. Hendry was appointed mem
ber of the Board OF Street and Water
Commissioners he held several State and
local Offices. and he Immediately resigned
them all. 1t is also urged by many that
Mr.. Smith cannot legally bold the office
Of an Electric Subway Com missioner and
be member of the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners, in view of this
provision of the law.
A reporter called on Mr. Smith
and asked him If he intended to
accept the Ofhce or Electrical subway
Commissioner. Mr.. Smith replied-
"a am not prepared to say vet whether
will accept or not. have not read the
bill and do not know what its provisions
are or what the duties of the office are.
/ have had no opportunity TO consult
with the other commissioners and do not
know what their views are about their
duties"
The extract from the law given above
was read by Mr.. Smith. and he replied:-
II am familiar with the provision of the
law. of course. bht am not prepared to
say now whether it applies to State
office or not"
''Mr. Smith, 1t was stated some time
ago that you intended to resign from the
Board of Street and Water Commission
ers. Is that correctP asked the reporter.
s"rhat is right" was the reply. II hope
to be able to resign by or before July l.
The reporter then asked Mr.. Smith to
state his views about putting electric
wires under ground. and be replied:-"I
am in favor of placing all electric wires,
telephone, telegraph and electric light
wires included, under ground"
"How about the electric wires for the
street cars?"
81 am in favor" said Mr.. Smith, ''of
placing all wires of every description uu-
der ground when it can practically be
done, but, of course. / don't want to do
anything to ruin anybody's business or to
drive il off the face of the earth; but, as
said before, cannot yet say whether
as member OF the Subway Commission. :"

Lodge bill on the Republicans of Jer-

Denslow, according to the Journals
report of his speech. regards the strug--

as "a contest between what men are
pleased to term aristoeracy and demo-
cracy.n Professor Denslow is not the
first to say this. The tutelary saint
of the Republican party was ahead of
him, not to speak of such modern
sages as James A. Garfield, Roscoe
Conkling, Donald Cameron and other
champions of the ''stalwart" idea in

his fellow townspeople in the dread

consolation, but the esteem and good

An Army Kitten.

One evening, toward the close of the
war, while Upion soldiers lay IL camp on
Il hillside near the Stanton River, Vir-
glnia, the cry of Halt! who goes there?"
from sentry startled every louDger to
his feet; aud several of the more curious
ran to the guard liue to find out what the
trouble was. A minute later all knew
that the night visitor who had been chal-
lepged was no enemy. A little girl,
about ten years of age, holding a white
kitten in her arms. came forward into the
light of the fires. conducted by two SOL
diers, who had told the sentry to pass her
in, and who looked as proud as If they
were escorting queen.
The whole regiment gathered-includ-
ing the Colonel himself-to look at the
child and hear her tell her story. A very
short story it was-scarcely a paragraph;
but there was matter enough in IL for a
full chapter. She lived near by with her
father, who was sick and poo; and they
were Northerners, she said, and Union
folks" Her mother was dead, and her
brother had been killed while fighting
give something" and when the Union
soldiers came she thought she would
bring her pet kitten and pre,ent it to the
Colonel.
The Colonel took the little girl in his
arms and kissed her, and the kitten too,
and said he was not a bit ashamed of his
weak ness. He accepted the kitten with
thanks, and its innocent donor was gall
laatly waited on to her humble home,
loaded with generous contributions.
The white kitten was adopted by the
regiment. but considered the property
and special pet of the Colonel. and when
the war was over he took 1T home with
him. Like the white lamb that stayed
and fed with the victOrs after the battle
of Autietam. that little creature. during
its short but stirring army life, was Il

of her foot. In all she enumerated ten or
dozen colors which Miss Claire must
