Wer's that he would prepare the bill for
presentation to both both branches of
the Legislature. He did so. and today
the election law on the statnte books is a
monument to his knowledge and dis
cretion.
In the fall Of 1890 Mr.. Werts was per-
suaded to accept denomination for the
Senate and again defeated his Republican
opponent. He entered upon the duties Of
his second term in January, 1891. He
took an active part in the proceedings of
the Upper House. and was the leader ofh
party. He was Chairman of the Com
mittees on Judiciary. Municipal Corpora
tions. Riparian Rights, and Treasurer's
Accounts. His Legislative career was in
terrupted last winter by his
call to higher position. When
Judge Knapp's death caused a
vacancy upon the Supreme Court bench
and Governor Albeit came to consider
his successor he found that George L.
Werts had ali the qualifications of an
able and successful Judge and he was
appointed. The Senate, the Republican
as well as the Democratic members, voted
to con firm the nomination at once as soon
as his name came before them. Since
his elevation to the Supreme Court bench
Judge Werts has been resident of Jer-
sey City and her citizens are proud to
have him as one of their number.

Hoboken, and his assistants. have been
working night and day the past two
weeks getting out the tax bills. The

receipts under the Martin act, which, SO
far, have been Si2S.000.
The tax rate this year is 219. a reduc-
tion from last year of fcrty-iive cents,

The Lorillard Night School opened last

The school is held on the third floor of
Booraem Hall, Newark avenue and

lard 81 Co. for the benefit of their en-
ployes All employees of the company

After that. the school attendance will be

schemes of corruption having for their
object the retention in power of the party
by which unearned business profits are
promised. The movement begins with
the corruption by means of these prom
ises of The beneficiaries themselves. They
are thereafter willing instruments forthe
corruption OF others. instigated to activity
by an obligation to aid the party which
has favored them. and stimulate | by the
expectation of further especial benefits.
This deal between political party and
private enterprise, bv which government
al aid is promised in exchange for parti-
san support. is covered by the pretext of a
care for the business interests of the
country.
NO JUSTIFICATION.
While we readily copcede the impor-
tapce of these interests, and while we
hold that no political party should be I'M
mindful of them, or needless of their
prosperity, we insist that no plea for their
promotion shall be used to justify politi-
cal methods which eudanger the integrity
and beueficence of our institutions.
Since, therefore, the fair name of our
business Interests has thus been used in
a disreputable service. have deemed it
appropriate to call attention to these
things in an assemblage gathered to-
gether under the auspices of business
mems club. 1t seems to be peculiarly fit
and proper that the patriotic business
men of our country should repudiate the
suggestion that care for the interests they
have in ther keeping can be an excuse
for corrupt political practices; they can
teach with especial authority the lesson
that business interests are safest
under fair administration of an honest
and just government, representing the
unbought suffrage of our people.
Beyond is. however, our business
men and all other Americans who love
their country ought to make comm on
cause in an effort to turn back the tide
which leads to a perversion of the func-
tions of our Government, invites the cor
ruption of our voters and menaces the
sure foundations of political virtue.
THE PEOPLES CAUSE.
In sincere and disinterested advocacy
of sensible tariff reform, we labor under
the temptations that beset the integrity
of our people. and strive to preserve that
justice and equality which our Govern
ment was created to guarantee to all our
countrymen.
Let US at all times bear in mind that it
is the peoples cause we have in hand;
and, while warning them of danger. let
us never lose faith in the irresistible
power of their awakened intelligence and
patriotism.

Scoundrels at Work in this

New York and was soon lost in the hurry
ing crowds always to be found on Court

OF about twenty men, who mysterlously

boat with him. Both men made
their way to Jake" Kramer's. and there
they were again met by Mr.. Brennan.
CONFERENCE NO. 2.
A long conference ensued and when the
trio reappeared on the scene, Johnny'S
face was flushed The her two indiyi-
duals were calm and collected and acted

They. too. finally disappeared. and when
the discovery was made that the indivi-
dual described above was the VIGOROUSLY
rotten election scoundrel Walton of
Pinochle Hall, Philadelphia, fame. con-
sidera BILE excitement was created.
Walton is as notorious for his many
deeds of bribery. intimidation and fraud
as Dave" Martin, whose pupil and lieu
tenant he is. Dave" Martin was unable
to do the .1eise job for the 6. o. p. be-
cause of his New York duties. but when
he referred Walton and his pal to Bren-

schemers he was thanked, and Walton
was received with open arms.
