We Suggest.

When the spirit of the New Year strikes
the soul of the bourbon editor, and he be.
gins the new year with good resolutions,
THE TIMES would suggest that among those
good promises there be made solemn
declaration that 81 will no longer claim that
there is no tin plate made in this country,
for there is, and has been, and for denying
its manufacture have blindly adhered to a
vain attempt to down the Mckinley bill. l
will no longer shout the tariff is a tax, for it
is not and can only be a tax when the pro-
duct is not manufactured or grown in this
country or wages higher here. l have
claimed that the tariff was tax in season
and out of season.; it's silly and absurd. L
have been abusing my God given power of
knowledge in this matter and will do so no
more. Regarding the federal election law
1 will no longer call it force bill, which it
is not ! will no longer declare that the
Miner election law is abstract justice for it
is not and never was. Conceived in iniQuity
and executed in malice, will no longer
hold 1t up as an evidence of the immaculate
i'm legislation" With forgiveness for the
past and promise never to commit these
iniquities again, what change would come
over the bourbon papers.

Democracy North and South.

It is strange commentary on the democ-
rats of the northern states that they are less
able than the southern democracy. what
ever there is In the democratic party Is
matter of principle with the southerner. In
the north democracy succeeds only in the
corrupt wards of the great cities and on oc-
casions of political upheavals. In Michigan
democracy succeeded by cajoling the Patron
movement, and by the grOssest misrepresen-
tation. 1t recognized this and endeavored
to intrench itself in the state by outraging
political and moral ethics. There is not one
Michigan democrat that approaches the
statesman. Being party of makeshifts,
now with the Greenback party, then with the
labor party and now with the patron move
ment, it by pocritically processes a principle
ONLY to abandon it when some new plan to
catch votes is seen. Always party of des-
truction, 1t never prevents constructive
plan for government. 1t would destroy the
tariff laws and banking law. but can offer
nothing better. The party in Michigan
committed itself to free silver and then Don
Dickinson attempted to lead the way to its
abandonment at Cleveland's behest. I'm
stable i'm all its ways the democratic party
of the north exists for Office and occasionally

A Saginaw Syndicate Purchases I
Owosso and Corunna Railway.

OWOSSO dIlu SOIuIlIld railway.
Little Jake" Seligman again figures in q
heavy deal, this time being the purchaser of
street railway at OwOssO and COrunna.
The railway in question has never been
operated and has just been constructed.
The company had finished laying the track
and had ordered the cars and the motors.
The property is very valuable and the deal
is sure to prove financial success The
road is four and half miles in length, runs
through the principal streets of both OwOssO
and COrunna, passes several railway depOts
and will prove Of great benefit to both cities.
The road Is well constructed and has fine
and well-appointed station and car house
between the two cities.
Since the construction of the road began
more property has been sold in Corunna
than during the ten previous years, and real
estate has increased 25 per cent In value.
Within two years 1t Is safe to say that the
entire line of street railway between the two
cities will be solidly built up.
After purchasing the road, Mr.. Seligman
organized syndicate by which 1t will be
owned. The syndicate Is composed of the
following gentlemen: Jacob Seligman, X.
b. Mcknight, w. j. Hart, Joe Seligman
and Frank K. Snow, of Detroit. At meet
ing of the syndicate last evening it was de-
cided to adopt the trOlly system instead OF
the independent motor system contemplated
by the original builders of the rord. The
trolly system Is more expensive at the out
set, but cheaper in the end. The purchase
of the road was made conditional upon the

The impression Is In Owoss0 that the
actual deal has not yet been c0nsumated,
but that Little Jake" has secured an option
on the road. The advent Of Little Jake"
into Owosso investments Is hailed with de-
light because property owned by him will

WANSER TO BE COLONEL.
Abernethy TO BE Dropped and
Erlenk0etter and Mason
Elected.

The Board of Officers of the Consoli-
dated Fourth Regiment held a meeting
last night at the armory in Hoboken.
Colonel Stevens positively refused to be
a candidate for Colonel against Colonel
Wauser. and last nights discussion
settled the question beyond doubt as to
who will command the regiment. The
election will take place June 90 at the
Hoboken Armory and Colonel Wanser
will receive a unanimous vote from The
Board of Officers.
Some little difficulty arose over the
election of Field officers. Lieutenant
Colonel Abernethy and Major Mason, of
the old Fourth Regiment, had been slated
for reelection. but last night some of the
officers of the disbanded Second Regi-
ment claimed that they should have
recognition and insisted that Lieutenant
Colonel Erleukoetter should be reelected.
This will probably be the result when the
election is heidi
Peter +. Wanser, Colonel; Charles En-
lenkoetter, Lieutenant Colonel. and Will
lam B. Mason, Major.
There is no doubt but that the officers
of the consolidated regiment believe that
the election OF Colonel Wanser to the po-
sition of Brigadier General will take
place, and it is understood that when this
happens. Colonel Stevens will be elected
Colonel to succeed Colonel Wanser. The
warmest friendship exists between Colo
nels Stevens and Wanser, and each will
do all in his power to secure the election
of the other. Colonel Stevens is very in
dignant over the present muddled condi-
tion OF the First Brigade, and he does rot
hesitate to express himself so.

HUDSON COUNTY OPINIONS.

There is weeping and wailing in the
Republican camp. The nomination of
Harrison and Reid has caused indescri-
able depression among the representative
Republicans. The leaders are dis
appointed in the denomination
of President Harrison. They also feel that
the selection of Mr.. Reid as the candidate
for Vice President is loading weight
upon the ticket which promises to sink it
into oblivion. OF course an air of con-
f1dence is maintained in speech, but there
is no real hope.
The denomination of Mr.. Harrison is
considered a harbin9er of good luck by
Democrats. Representative Democrats
believe that q ticket bearing the names of
aLy such popular gentlemen as the Hon.
Grover Cleveland. Messrs. Albeit, Camp
bell, Pattison or Gray will insure an over
whelming success.

How Judge Davis Decided Case

How Judge Davis Decided Case in
Which Four Geese Figured.
There was great trial in Justice Davis
Court this morning and the little Judge,
with his usual aptitude. settled with great
nicety very knotty question.
Mrs. Plunkitt, of Summit avenue. re-
joiced in the possession of two handsome
geese. They were the pride of the
Plunkitt family and the envy of many
Plunkitt was busy with her household
duties the geese crawled through the
pickets in the back yard fence and gained
the street. Mrs. Murphy saw them pass
along Summit avenue and watched them
until they turned in to Hopkins avenue.
In due course OF time Mrs. Plunkitt dis
covered her loss, and there was great ex-
element iu this Plunkitt household.
Searching parties were organized and all
the neighborlng back yards thoroughly.
overhauled. Finally when all were almost
about TO give up the search. the geese were
found among many others in Mrs. Sheri-
dams yard on Hopkins avenue. A demand
was made fer the geese, but Mrs. Sher-
idan claimed she had bought them from a
peddler and refused to deliver them.
Then the entire Pluukitt family went
before Justice Davis and laid the case be-
fore him. Mrs. Murphy. Mrs. Nolan,
Mrs. Mccarthy and many otner neigh
bors were in Court. There was much
contradictory testimony and the gender
of the geese was in dispute.
Finally Justice Davis decided to award
one of the geese to each OF the women,
and all the parties left apparently salts
fed. When the women reached the foot
of the Conrt room stairs, however, they
began calling one another names, and
Clerk Andy Boyle had some difficulty in

FISKS In TRIBULATION.
Strong Likelihood that the Vile
Relyea Affair May Cause
DISARMAMENT.

The Vile-Relyea scandal, which was
published exclusively in The JERSEY
CITY NEWS, and which caused such agita-
tion in certain Lafayette and Hill circles.
has somewhat jeopardized the bright
future of Fisk Section No. 2, Cadets of
Temperance. The prominent part GER
tain members and eX-members bore at
the trial has caused wholesale presenta-
tion of designations from gentlemen and
lady mem bers. Half dozen designations
are in the hands of the secretary, and
that gentleman. to whom much credit is
due for bouncing certain members and
maintaing the respectability of the club,
is hustling to keep the members in the
section. declaring to each one individually
that disbandment at this time is virtually
an acknowledgement that the honor of
the organization is involved in the recent
scandal.
1t is highly probable, however, that the
section will be but short lived. The
parents of the young lady lady members
particularly are objecting strenuously to
their remaining any longer in its ranks.
BoUNCERs NOT ON HAND.
Perhaps the most Objectionable feature
of the Fish Section G. of T., Is that Sec
tion of the Constitution which obliges the
members not to disclose any of the pro-
ceedings. This fact has probably kept
hidden from the public numerous spicy
bits of news. Last Wednesday evening
q meeting of the section was held The
attendance was large, inasmuch as it had
become rumored that one James
Mccarthy was to be ousted. Mr..
Mccarthy was present, but the gen.
tleman who had boasted that he
would have the bouncing act done,
failed to put in an appearance. Mr.. Nc
Carthy is a highly respected member, and
is said to have caused some feeling by
condemning the actions of several young
men who had been bounced" from the
section. hut who dragged the association
into the Vile-Relyea sensation. Mr.. Nc
Carlhy has the majority of the members
with him. Some OF his friends are indg-
nant because Vile. Frank Higgins and
George Benson testified that they were
members of the section. The records
show that they retired abruptly some
time ago. Several young ladies were
also ousted from the section recently for
non-payment of dues.
WANTS TO REORGANIZE.
President ED" Schult says, however,
that he is determined to reorganize the
section and have the name of every per-
son connected in any way as witnesses or
otherwise with the Vile affair stricken
from the membership roll. There will
be another meeting of the section next
Wednesday evening, and it will then be
decided whether it will be advisable to
dsband or continue in existence.
