The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1893-08-28
The Attack on Wanser Through
the Charter.

The New York Herald, yesterday,
in its regular weekly Jersey maunder,
advocated the repeal of the charter
of Jersey City, which it denominated
the thieves charter" Now, whether
the Herald knows it or not, it is just
playing into the hands of Bob
Davis in taking up this cry.
Davis thinks his band of robbers
have, in the three years of their con-
troll. made the charter SO unpopular
that the people will unthinkingly
take up with avidity the idea of abol-
ishing it. He wants it abolished be-
cause it gives Mayor Wanser and the
reform element the power to kick his
scoundrels out OF Office. The repeal
of the charter may NEAR the legisla-
ton of Mayor Wanser out of office.
Anyway, it must mean some curtail-
ment of his power. That is what
Davis wants; do the people want it?
The fact is the charter is an excel
lent charter with good citizens and
honest men, like Mayor Wanser,
Mayor Simpson and Mayor Wanser's
appo1ntees to administer it. It is ar
a~bominatfon If administered by the
Davis gang-but SO would any other
charter. In an article on the charter
Of Brooklyn in the September Forum,
MI. Edward M. Shepard has a sen
tence or two which aptly describe
the case:-
Al city is not administered by it's charter. but
by its Mayor and other officers under its charter
1t is COVE ned. not by the charter, but by its
citizens through the charter which, except az
they use It, is quite useless. In such a paper
instrument OF ITSELF there ID no inspiration, no
originating force.
In other words, any charter is bad
with the Davis gang In power, any
one is good with Mayor Wanser or
men like him.
Tho Davis gang now remains in the
ascendent in only one Board in the
eity-the Street and Water Board.
Mayor Wanser has got control of
every other department. The Street
and Water Board does not exist in
virtue Of the charter. but CT an act
passed to please Newark in 1891.
This board is now the only bad board
in this city. Make the platform tho
repeal of the Street and Water Board
act with the tn rning out of the pres
ent members of that board, and we
are in favor of 1t, heart and soul,
But lot us have no interference with
Mayor Wanser.

stab the Mayer in the back under the
guise OF friendship. Here is a queer

stab the Mayer in the back under the
guise Of friendship. Here is a queer
extract from it:-
He Cthe Mayor must hare become con-
vinced by this time that he is only one OF many.
and that, surrounded rs he Is By mold OVER
ring officials, his opportunities for good are few
and far between. They remain IN control Of
every turn. His patriotism and public splr 1t
would probably reconcile him to the sacrifice of
some OF his prerogatiyes II by making i no
torture and free the city, once and for all, OF
the highpinders who have for so many years
held 1t at their mercy.
The complimentary phrases OF this
paragraph do not suffice to hide the
dagger. The effort is plain to make
the administration of Mayor Wanser
appear a failure, to make the inter-
ference of the Legislature an apparent
necessity.
Let US look at the facts: The friends
and allies of Mayor Wanser now con-
stitute a majority in the Finance,
Aldermanic, Police, Fire, Tax. Tax
Revision and Sinking Fund Commits
sions.
The Street and Water Board is
alone beyond his control.
He has restored honesty, economy.
and business methods throughout the
city government.
He has cut $77.027.93 off the tax
levy in spite of increases in the County
demands, and he has reduced the
rate from $28.40 to $27.5 so without
material increase in the property val
uations.
What does the Herald mean by say
ing his opportunities for good are
few and far between?" What does it
mean by saying the hold yer
Davisites embarrass or balk him? Is
it possible the Herald can be ignorant
of the facts? Has it taken a retainer
from Bob Davis to falsify the situa-
ton?
DAVIS talks of pledging every demo-
cratic candidate for the Legislature to
a repeal of the charter. II repeal
came through men pledged by Davis.
what sort of substitute would we get7
or course, with a republican Assem-
bly, there can be no repeal. for the
complexion of the Senate cannot be
altered this year.

Endorses Prof. Robinson.

We have received the following com
munication from one of the most prom
inent chemists in the United States who
has his headquarters in New York. TIE
communication speaks for itself:
Editor Florida Agricu1turist:
notice from your paper that an ap'
pOintment to the office of State Chemist
will soon be made, and that DR.. Robinson
is candidate for reelection. The duties
of this office require tho services of 6
chemist of the highest qualification, fol
it depends upon his efficiency, skill anC
experience to detect fraud in the manu-.
facture and sale of fertilizers, thus pro-
tetecting the farmer and fruit grower
Tram use'es IS expense and heavy loss
DF. Robinson has filed the position in
the past with great ability, and not con-
fning himself to the special duties oil
his office, has also devoted much extra
work to. the study Of the manuridl needs OF
Florida soils, and the composition OF
plants and plant roots, in view Of fn>
ing the best and most profitable methods
OF fertilizing for the production of large
and paying crops.
DR.. RObinsOn's experiments and chem
ical analy teal Investigations reveal the
fact that, upon all Florida soils the lib
eral use Of potash is most necessary for
all kinds Of crops, and his publications
contributed much to enlighten the cult.
vator On this important question OF
profitable plantfeeding. DR.. Robinson 6
valuable researches have secured him a
wide reputation among scientists and
agricultural investigators, and in recog-
milton of his ability, he has recently been
chosen as "Chairman OF the Committee
on Potash by the American Association
of Official Agricultural Chemists. This
association, which is the scientific agri-
cultural organization CT the highest
order, comprises the Chemists and Direc.
tors of the Agricultural Experiment
Stations of the United States. For mu
tual consideration of this important
potash question DR.. Robinson is also in d.
rect communication with Privy-CouLcilol
Maerker, a European scientist of the
highest standing.
1t is to be hoped that DR.. Robinson
who is SO amply qualified for thepositio1
he now holds, may be reappointed to
that office, so that his valuable services
be retained by the State OF Florida.
AN ORANGE COUNTY ENDORSEMENT.
Editor Florida A grcuIturist:
fully endorse your opinion OF Prof.
Robinson's work il the past four years
and return you the petition for his re
tenUiOn.
If it we're possible, am sure the people
OF the United States would like Secretary
Ru of the Department of Agriculture
to remain where he is; as you say O
Prof. RObiI SOD, it is bad plan to "swOI

think it apslies equally as we'll to Secre

Women Musicians for the Fair.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 10, 1892
General Serrano, director general
of the Mexican exhibit at the Col
umbian Exposition, has received a
letter stating that Nine. Diaz, wife
of the Mexican President, is going
to send to the fair, at her own ex-
pense, a woman's band of forty-fve
musicians. This band will be
composed of the most expert artists
to be found in Mexico.
From Mexico will also come the
Eighth Regiment Band, consid-
cred the finest in the republic.
This band was in Spain at the
time of the dedicatory exercises
this fall and was unable to be
present in Chicago. Both these
bands will remain at the fair from
its opening until its close.

ENGLAND'S PREVAILING
CRAZE.
1he Missing Word Connect
ton " Decided to BE a Gamb-
Inns Frzcfrfrk.o

The Missing Word Competi-
ton" Decided to BE a Gamb-
ling Institution.
For considerable time past GER
tain weekly papers of London have
Deen carrying On what are termed
missing word" competitions. The
modus operandi was to publish a
short poem or a sentence with the
last word missing. People were in
vited to supply the missing word,
each guesser to forward a shilling
with his or her guess, and then the
proceeds were divided among those
who were fortunate enough to Sc
lect the proper word. These COM
petitions soon assumed the form of
a craze, and so great was the de-
mand for shillings that that coin
began to disappear from the usual
channels of trade.
The opponents of gaming took
the matter up, holding that the
competitions were games of chance,
while the newspaper proprietors
held that they were games of skill,
not chance. The question was
taken into court through a sum-
mons for violating the gaming act,
issued against the proprietors OF
Pick-me-up, journal that has de-
voted considerable time to the
scheme. The case was heard by
Sir John Bulge in the Bow Street
police court, and his decision, if it
is upheld, will bring the case to an
end.
Sir John held that the use of the
word competitions" in the INVITA-
tons to take part in the games was
an infringement of the gaming act,
and he therefore imposed a fine of
l shilling each upon the defend
ants.
Notice Of appeal was at once
filed, and the decision of the higher
court is awaited with considerable
interest.
1t is the general opinion in legal
circles that Sir John Budge's opin-
ion is good law. AS an instance of
the extent to which the craze has
grown it can be said that in one
week alone certain paper received
upward of $4,000 shillings, equal
to about $4,000. Each successful
competitor receives between $145
and $150.-Washington Star.

Having first perfected myself by study

scientific study in the use of the latest
and most approved instruments for the
testing of the eye; 1 am ready to fit your
eyes with proper Glasses, correcting ALL

patients suffer, and which few Opticians
TREAT.
1 feel that the public will appreciate
the above announcement as it has been
felt want here for years.
My intention is to give Optics large
share of my attention, and each case
separately Conscientious time and study,
so that the wearing OF Glasses will do
what they are intended for, relieve the
strain, and not to tire the eye.
Please bear in mind that there is NO
CHARGE for testing the eye, and that
my prices for all Glasses are the same as
in the States.

sian newspapers accuse Miss Kate

for the relief of lepers in Siberia, of
exaggeration in her accounts of the
ravages of leprosy in that part of

New York Doctors Expect an
Epidemic This Winter.

"
New YORK, Dec. 1.-THE fatal
grip is with US again, seven deaths
having occurred in the city last
week. DR.. Cyrus Edison, one of
the greatest authorities in America
on this disease, expects another
epidemic this winter-probably be-
ginning before Christmas. His
special reason for thinking so is
that we have had about the sort of
weather that preceded the last out
break, especially a muggy atmos-
phere. Still he fears no such
serious trouble as has been expe-
rienced in previous years.

Snake bites are always dangerous and
should be attended TO as soon as possible,
AZ the venom spreads very rapidly, par
ticularly in warm weather. The follow
ing recipe is perfectly reliable and, being
simple, Is easily obtained: Take an onion
and cut 1t crosswise and hold one half OF
1t on the wound until It turns green.
Apply persistently and the onion Will
finally draw out all the potion. Many old
woodsmen will not be without several
onions this time Of year when in the
woods The old white haired darby that
first gave me this recipe has spent the best
portion Of his life in the swamps, where
the rattlesnake, coppcrhead and other
deadly reptiles abound, and he assured
me he has never known it to fail. A
strong ligature should be tied tightly
above and below the bite to prevent the
poison spreading through the system.
Copious dranghts Of brandy should be-
given freely A little ammonia taken in
ternally is very good also. The above
simple remedy Is equally as good for beast
- for man. Richmond Times.
