Clerk Bouton,s Report.

No branch of the city government
has been subjected to more frequent
and severer criticism than the Street
and Water Department: certainly
none has been given less chance to
state its own side of the case. Clerk
Bouton's annual report is an ex-
haustive summary of the work accom-
plished by the Board, and may fairly
be taken as the reply of the Commits
sioners to all the structures that have
been leveled against them during the
year.
THE News prints the report in full
as IN act OF justice to the Commission
ers and o matter of interest to the
public. THE NEWS also takes pleas
nre in presenting this paper. 1t may
not disarm criticism, but it unques-
tionably demonstrates that much and
good work has been done during the
year.
If the Commissioners have failed in
some things they have also done
much to put Jersey City abreast with
civilized communities, and this docu-
ment shows just what they have done.

And Then Upon This.
Robert H~udspeth's majority in Jel

zO12,
A Most Unwise Proposal.

1 IA VAOSt EOPDSAL
Somebody who forgets the lesson Of
1876 has proposed in Congress an
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton providing that all disputed cleo
ton cases should be sent to a u judicial
tribunal for determination. Nothing
could possibly be more undemocratic
or unwise. The worst a ruling major
ity in q Legislative body can do is in
crease its own numbers; but to con-
ide to an outside agency the deter
mination as to who should sit in such
a body would be practically to place
in the hands of whoever appointed the
tribunal the power of su bvert-
ing the will Of the people and
substituting his own. The
scheme, it appears to us might
result in the indefinite prolongation
Of legislative power in the party
which happened to control the adj
ministration when the Amendment
was adopted. Thus, should the De-
mocracy carry the election this year,
and should the Amendment be passed
in the succeeding Presidential term,
presumably a Democratic President
would control the formation of the
court to try election cases. 1t would
be only natural for him to give demo-
Gratis the preponderance in it, and it
would be equally natural for these
democrats to lean strongly towards
the contestants of their own political
faith in the cases which would coine
before them.
The conduct OF the Electoral Com
mission of 1876 ought to be u warning
for all time against experiments of
this description. The unforgetable
crime of that body showed that judges
of the Supreme Court could no more be
trusted for impartiality in partisan
issues than the members of a legisla-
tive body. In political questions
politics rule and will always rule to
the end of the chapter.
AS for any prospect of change from
time in the make up of the contest
courts, all experience shows how falla-
cious such an expectation is. The
mere fact that John /. Davenport sur
wives a Democratic administration as
an instrument of Republican wicked
ness, hooked on to the Federal judici-
airy, shows how difficult it is to effect
changes in such organizations, eve
where reform is so urgently needed.
The proposal appears to us at once
revolutionary and dangerous. Good
citizens of both parties should frown
upon it as potentially oppressive to
both alike.

A semi-fiendish delight often seems to possess
people of strong nerves in sneering at hose with
weak ones. The irritabiiity of the nervous ny
pochondriac is ridiculed as natural i'll temper.
The very genuine symptoms from which he
crank ~ is the cheerful sort OF sympathy with
which the nervous invalid meets from
the unfeeling aud the thoughtless. AT the same
time no complaint is more defined and, none has
a more easily explainable origin when it is
cronic. Imperfect digestion and assimilation
are always accompanied by nervous debility and
anxiety. Build upthe powers of assimilation
and digestion with Hostetter's Stomach B tiers
and nervous symptoms, sick headache and a
generally feeble condition of the system are rem.
edied. Remember that fearful ravaces are
produced by 10 grippe among weakly. nervous
people. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters cures it,
and prevents malaria, rheumatism and kidney
comnlaint.

Dyspepsia

Makes many lives miserable, and often leads TO
self destruction. Distress after eating, sick heads
ache, heartburn, sour stomach, mental depres-
sion, ETC., are caused by this very common ana
increasing disease. Hoods SarsapariIla tones the
stomach, creates an appetite, promotes healthy
digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the
mind, and cures the most obstinate cases of dys-
pepsia. Read the following:
al have been troubled with dyspepsia. ! had
but little appetite, and what I did eat distressed
me, OF did me little good. In an hour after eating
I would experience a ~faintness or tired, all-gone
feeling. as though l had not eaten anything.
Hoods Sarsaparilla did me an immense amount
of good. 1t gave me an appetite, and my food
relished and satisfied the craving 1 had previously
experienced. 1t relieved me of that faint, tired,
