HUDsos's GRAND JURY DISCHARGED.
From the Netoark Evening Neaus.

From the NetcdTk Evening Mems.
Convinced that nothing was to be
gained by keeping the Hudson County
Grand Jury in session. Judge Lippincott
yesterday discharged that body with q
rebuke that was none the less marked
because OF the studied courtesy of It's
words. The Court" he said, has mad
hopes a strong desire that your long
session would attain q more complete
enforcement of the law In relation TO
certain classes OF criminal offenders
than, as appears by the presentment
made by your body, has resulted. The
Court must be permitted to say that the
results have not been such as can afford
satisfaction to the Court nor vindicate
the laws of this STATE"
The reference here everybody in Hud-
son county, and, indeed, in New Jersey,
Will understand. Strenuous efforts had
been made to induce this Grand Jury to
act against the men who conduct the
policy business in Jersey City. Evil
dence which, if it involved men without
pulls, engaged in crimes without
privilege, would have been accepted as
jdstifying indictment. was coollv disre-
gar6ed. In this case against the men
whom witnesses testified are some OF
them Influential. One is no less q states
man and leader OF men than the great
Robert Davis, boss of the Democratic
party IN duue0n County. IL would
never have done to have subjected 80
great q man to thy indignity Of an in
distment. Besides, the policy business
Ia North Hudson County has strange
ramidcations and potent open and secret
allies. That Grand Jury wanted evidence
that would indeed furnish conffrma-
tion strong as Holy Writ before 1t
conld act.
It is not 4 rare or q unique thing to
and an narfion1or uarfAlU If 4 M hrouRfnn
which il allowed TO 60 long unpublished.
Hudson is nor the only county In which
Sherifs draw juries with tine idea of rem
dering improbable the indictment of
those who break certain laws of the
State. In Hudson, however. tolerated
Offences are some of them especially
mean ones, and In this case the failure OF
Grand Juries to act upon competent evil
dence has too often occasioned public
scandal and tended TO bring into con-
tempt the laws aud the process by which
they are enforced.

FAY0RS HENRY GEORGE.
Founder Bradley's Tilt With Con-
gresham Roswell G. Horr.
snecfol TO The Jeysev citu ws,u,

AsBuRY PARK, Aug. rs, 1893. = The
largest audience of the season attended
the national service at the Beach Audi
forum yesterday. Founder James A.
Bradley presided and succeeded in induc-
ing the audience to wipe out the debt in.
Cured in holding the meetings during the
season. The principal speaker was ex-
Congressman Roswell G. Horn, of Michi-
gan. His subject was seThe Nations
Bread and Butter" Mr. Horr in his
earned increment theories of Henry George
and the Rev. DIR. McGlynn. He held that
the pioneers who opened up new settle
mentS in the West were entitled to the So
called unearned increment. which nine
times out of ten did not amount to ordinary
wages. 81
Mr.. Horr claimed that Henry George, in
denouncing monopolies, was inconsistent,
because he received $4,000 in profits from
the sale of his copyrighted book, Pro
gress and Poverty" Founder Bradley is
a friend and admirer OF Henry George and
also believes in the unearned increment
theory.
Nj. Bradley after Mr.. Horn had finished,
defended the reformer in support of his
position. He said that he had purchased
the ocean front riparian rights from the
State of New Jersey for the paltry sum of
So, GOO and could, If he SO desired, erect a
fence along Asbury Park ocean front and
prevent the people from getting to the sea.
The riparian right Mr.. Bradley had should
have been leased to him by the State for
ten years, and when the ilrst lease expired
another at a higher rental should be
given.
He closed by declaring that Henry
Georges theories on the ownership OF land
were sound and predicted that the time
would soon come when a majority of the
people of the country would adopt them.
The tilt between Mr.. Bradley and Mr..
Horr created intense excitement and both
speakers were vigorously ~applauded The
sermon at the evening service WIS preached
by the Rev. Frank Dewitt Talmage, of
Brooklyn. There were $500 present.

IMPROVED SERVICE
The Pennsylvania Re1ines
Its Railroad Telegraph
Sysem by a New
Method.

Owing to the frequent breakage Of the
telegraph wires aud the breaking of
poles and other things which prohibit
the transmission of messages over the
wires of the Pennsylvania RAILROAD
Company. q committee has been APP
pointed to devise a system which will.
In a measure, do away as far as pos
sibIe with any interruption of the
telegraph basiness of the company. With
this object in view the committee has
examined the various systems now in
vogue both In this codnrry and in Europe,
and as a result new poles and wires OF
the latest improved method are now
being placed alongside of the railroad
tracks or the Pennsylvania Railroad.
CHANGES MADE.
The new system is a departure from
the old methods, as much heavier poles
are being used. aud they are placed close {
together. The stringing OF wires is as
near the ground as the passing of wagon
and carriages Will permit. Beside this
there is u new method of Insulation and
the arms on which the wires are strung
are braced with iron supports. Great
care is taken in the method of arranging
and stringing the wires on the poles. The
use OF cables at special places along the
line is a feature.
A careful system has also been adopted
Of admitting the wires into stations and
signal towers. guarding against light
ming. In addition TO this system of on
structing the telegraph lines, the conn.,
mittee has extended it's Investigation to
the method employed or the Continent,
and they find that the European eoun-
tries are using the two-pole line erected
an a cone or letter A shape. one forming
brace for the other.
H NEW "A" POLE.
This method of erecting poles elimi-
mates the usual brace and guy wires SO
mmo in construction of telegraph
lines in this country. and with the proper
design It Is thought it will add beauty
as we'll as strength to the lines.
The telegraph lines play an important
part in the management of a railroad,
rs all the train riders and information
are dependent upon the cleo
trio current. The railroad as well as the
telegraph companies have frequently
been so greatly iuconvenienced during a
blizzard or severe wind and rain storms
that special attention to this part OF the
rosd is necessary.
Instead of the ordinary wire which has
been SO universally used for q num0er OF
years, the company is now experimenting
with copper and steel wires, which, it is
thought, will have more resistance in IL
aud otherwise be b etter for the service.

MONDAY. AUGUST IS. 1898.
THIS paper is Democratic in prime tples and is
Independent ia sts vieaus On all local questions.
Car Reed Mendacious. OF Course

Gar Reed Mendacious. of Course
The speech of ex- Gar Reed was
witty and ingenious. but it was such
a speech as no honest man would
have delivered at such a time. 1t was
not a speech designed to aid in solv-
ing the situation. 1t was not a speech
calculated to build up credit, to re-
store confidence or to in any way ad-
vance the welfare of the people. 1t
was a partisan speech, pure and
simple, and it was partisanship of the
most virulent kind. His object was
not to defend the record of his own
party; it was to besmirch and belittle
the Democracy. 1t was a speech of
direct and indirect falsehood. of
ISLANDERS expressed and ISLANDERS sug-
gested.
Mr.. Reeds argument was designed
to show that the Democracy, as a
party, was hostile to the silver inter-
ests, when it was in the minority in
Congress, and now, when it is in the
majority, it was belying its record
and coquetting with the silver men,
and the Republican party had to be
called on by the people to save the
country.
All this is grossly mendacious. The
silver question is a sectional and not
a party one, and it has been the
same in the last two Congresses.
There were then republicans on both
sides of it and democrats on both
sides, and it is the same way now In
the last Congress, many republicans
favored free silver. and the anti-silver
democrats had to come to the rescue,
and prevent Congress from flying in
the face of President Harrison's well
known opposition to it. So unscru-
pulous was the Republican party in
respect to silver in the last Congress
that it was feared a deal would be
made for the passage of the Free Sill
yer bill and the Federal Elections
bill on a sort of reciprocity basis.
Perhaps only Mr.. Harrison's sturdy
hostility to the silver bill prevented
such an unholy compact from being
realized, and for this We give him due
credit.
To sum up, last year anti-silver
democrats had to help anti-silver re-
pnblicans to uphold the President
and save the country. This year,
anti-silver republicans have to help
anti-silver democrats to uphold the
President and save the country.
The fact remains that republicans
passed the Sherman law as a bait for
the silver vote in the West.
Mr.. Reed had better give the Ameri-
a people credit for more memory or
his sarcasms may prove boomerangs.
