conclusion or the other must be Roso-
lutely reached, that they are either
protected violations of the law or else
the officers of the law aud the Grand
thelr command, are unable TO cope with
and prevent these criminal offences or
punish them when committed
lt may be that evidence in relation to
tnese or other offences has been produced
before former Grand Juries. and no
indictments have resulted. This fact
does not prevent the cases from again
being presented TO your consideration
that you must consider ali cases pre-
sented. regardless of the fact that former
Grand Juries may have acted upon
them"
Judge Lippincott also referred to the
many nufsanceS that exist throughout
the county. making some portions OF the
county unfit for residential purposes.
EXPENDITURE OF PUBLIC MONEYS.
There is still another matter, gentle
men, said the Judge, ''to which your
attention can be properly called. / can
only, IN concluding. repeat what / have
SAID before in substance. The county of
Hudson is growing rapidly IN wealth
and population. All the cities.
towns and townships, and the county
government are expendiDg large sums of
money in public Improvements which are
demanded by the people. In order to
promote the financial stauding of onr
municipal government, and perhaps to
save them from disastrous circumstances
1t Is essential that the expenditure of
public monies should be honest and
economical, and 1t Is your duty from time
to Time to investigate our public corpor-
ate boeies. 1t you find honesty and
economy In public expenditures you
shonld commend It,
IF you should. however, discover in
whatever form, or under whatever cover
or color. the public monies have been
corruptly expended, it :is your duty to
indict those responsible for such corrupt
practices. Even the needless creation of
offices or public employments. ii done
with corrupt intention of squandering
the public funds. is an indictaOle offense
You have the right to inquire into the
conduct of public official bodies ard pub
lie officers, to ascertain IL sinecures
exist, created for the corrupt purnose of
disposing Of public funds. am
not informed Of any particular
cases of official corruption or excessive
expenditures of public monies. notice
that the matter Is much discussed by the
public press and l have noticed some
anxiety on the part OF the public in the
matter"
The Court then defined the duties OF
jurors, and, In concluding, said that the
Court had entire confidence in them and
felt that their duties would be SO per-
formed as to satisfy themselves and be
acceptable to the administration OF
public justice.

The Fight the Irish Members Have Still

The Fight the Irish Members Have Still
to Go Through.
In letter to DR.. Thomas Adtlis Emmst
president of the Irish National Federation
New York. in speaking of the rejection
of the Home Rule Bill by the House of
Lords, Justin Mccarthy says:--
THE rejection of the Home Rule bill by
the House Of Lords opens n new chapter
III the struggle for Irish Liberty. On the
ole eide. we the elected representatives
OF the people. the sympathies of the Brit
ish Democracy and the unconquerable
spirit of the Irish race; on the other side
is hereditary and irresponsible cham
her concentrating IN its rauks all that Is
worst in English prejudice, wealth and ar
rogance. The result is not doubtful. The
House of Lords have made similar stand
against every great reform sent up to
them by the House of Commons. In the
long run progress and the peoples will
have Invariably triumphed; and the inso-
lence of The privileged classes have been
chastlsed. But ths struggle will be a
bitter one. We have TO fight against an
unexRmDled combination of wealthy
aristocrats desperately struggling for
their privileges by appeals to every
weapon OF defamation, bigotry ana cor
ruption. We have to look to our
faithful conntrymen in America for
the means of sustaining our party
through the incessant sacrifices
imposed upon them, and of carrying
on an active campaign III the English
constituencies against the insolent
enemies of Irish liberty. There never
was q Jime when Irish American assist
ance was more urgently needed, or when
it could produce more splendid results in
securing TO our country the great m.as-
ure OF Irish national self-government,
which sprang from the genius of Glad
stone and which the House of Commons
has once for all solemnly pledged itself to
carry into law ~

Abutting Property
Owners,

After delivering his charge TO t..
Grand Jury, Judge LiDpiucott this after
noon in open court read his opinion
rendering decision on the application
for witt of certiorari made by John
Kiernan, Thomas Brady, ct al, in the
matter of the Railroad avenue vacation
for the benefit Of the Junction Docks and
Connecting Ra ilroad. He said that the
application of the petitioners could noE
sustained. The granting of the writ was
precluded by decisions of the Supreme
Court of Errors and Appeals in similar
cases. These courts frequently held that
the only property owners who could pe-
tition were those whose lands directly
abutted upon the portion OF street or
thoroughfare which the railroad proposed
to yacate or of which the grade was TO be
changed.
NOT QUALIFIED.
The lands of the property owned ia this
case not being SO situated, but fronting
on Cross street. the owners were not
qualified to MAKE application. Judge
Lippincott in the course of his remarks,
referred to the Dodge and Vanderbeek
cases which grew out of the
elevation of the Pennsylvania Rail
road. He also alluded to the case
Of Traphagen in the matter of the arec-
ton of the shed at Tenth street by the
Erie Railroad. He mentioned. also, the
decision in the Van Horne street vacation
for the benefit OF the Lshigh Valley
Railroad.
From the tone of his remarks it
seems that Judge Lippincott would
have been inclined to grant the
writ II it had rested on his own Judgment.

in Trouble.
BIZ Gable to the United Press
LONDON, Sept. a., 1893. Dispatches
from Cape Town state that the long
threatened invasion OF Newfoundland by
the Matabele tribe appear TO be fmmi-
nent. The Matabele warriors, the
despatch adds, are advancing in
large bodies toward Newfoundland. The
Mashonas are fleeing to Fort Victoria,
the station of the British South Africa
Company. The defences of the fort have
been greatly strengthened, and extra
stores OF provisions have been laid in, all
of which indicates that a siege is ex-
pected.
The trouble with the Mrtabeles started
III July last, when King Lobengnla sent
his warriors to punish the Masnonas In
the vicinity OF Fort Charter and FoIt
Victoria. which are located in Mashonas-
land. Lobengula claimed that Msshonas
had stolen cattle belonging to Matabeles.
The latter burned many kraals and
killed number OF Mashonas. including
some servants of white people. the
Matabele warriors trespassed upon the
settlement at Fort Victoria and
refused to withdraw when ordered
TO do so by DR.. Jameson. Admin
istrator of the British South Africa
Company. The company's police then
took a hand in the matter aud drove the
Mata beleS back TO their own country,
killing several OF them. From the
dispatches now at hand it is judged that
King Lobengula has started out to
avenge the killing of the warriors.
