To Fix the Tax Rate.

The county commissioners, however,
hold occasional meetings, or rather COM
mittees from the board meet TO pass on
matters which are to go before the board
at its next meeting.
A meeting of the committee on finances
and accounts for the purpose of fixing the
tax rate was TO have been held yesterday
afternoon, and Commissioners kehOe and
Carson were on hand at the appointed
hour, but Dr. Charlton, the other member
of the committee, was unable TO be pres
ent on account of other important bust
ness, These are the only three members
Of the board now IN the city.
The commissioners We're notified by
Capt. MCGOWAN, tax collector. that he
had received Instructions from the con
trOller general as to the state tax rate
and he was awaiting instructions from
the commissioners rs TO the rate that was
TO prevail in the county The state rate
/ ad been fixed by the governor at $40
on the $1,000, which is the limit al
lowed this year according to Legislative
enactment.
WON'T BE ANY TOWN.
In view Of the fact that DR.. Charlton
could not be present and also that
it WAS important that the
matter should be settled as early as pos
sible, as the county is somewhat behind
in It's finances and taxes must therefore
be collected at once, it was decided to call
another meeting for this afternoon.
"Will the rate be lower than 1t
was last year." Commissioner Carson was
asked yesterday.
We'll you can say" was the reply,
"that it VIII not be any less"
Indeed IL can hardly he expected in
view of all the circumstances, full ac-
count Of which has been given in the
MORNING News, that the rate will be any
lower than that of last year If any
thing there will probably be an increase.
An additional circumstance which may
necessitate a slight increase is the de-

TRENTON, Ju ly 10. 1S93.-The Executive
Committee of the Citizens Lsagus are TO
come together about the middle of July

fall aud TO decide whether the League

The purpose OF the league is to secure
the repeal OF the race track laws recently
enacted, and TO resist auy and all at
tempts to secure legislation of interest to
the gambling fraternity and the race
track people,
The Citizens League so far have ac-
complished nothing beyond their prelim-
mary organization. In only ten counties
have leagues been formed, While in
eleven others there has as yet been no at
tempt ut organization. The State officers
claim that there will be county aud town

THE GRAND JURY AND GREEN GOODS.
From The Mepers Evening Ne,es.

From the Ne,cer& Evening NeiUs.
Judge L%ippincott's address to the Hud-
son county Grand Jary relative to the
operations of greengoods swindlers at
Greenville is one that can not be misun-
derstood. He says that the Grand Jury
has the right to indict il any evidence at
all is ut its command; that there is no
doubt that the swiudlers are ut work, and
that men are arrested, but are let go by
police without having been subjected to
to the investigation that should be en-
forced. THE conclusion = he adds, ''comes
with a great deal of force to the Court that
the police authorities do not do this with
any honest intentions. You have the
power to investigate such cases without
having a formal complaint made to you,
and if you find that the law is being vlo.
lated you can indict those who are violat-
ing it.. If in your Investigations you ind
that these men are receiving protection
and immunity from the police authorities
and that they allow the evil to exist, then
indiet the police" The fact that after all
this time the Grand Jury has failed to act
against the Jersey City policy dealers is
not an encouraging omen of its probable
course in regard TO to the greengoods oper-
ators. But Judge Lippincott does we'll not
to get weary in the effort to bring to JUS
tice some particularly mean and vicious
.swindlers, whose continued immunity is
Il scandal to the county.

From the Hoboken Evening Ne,us.
1t is reported that on the complaint OF
Senator Daily. ex' Senator Edwards. one
of the owners. and James LIBBY. the edi-
tor of the Jersey City news, have been in
dicted for criminal libel. for referring to
him as the linked ale lawyer" and the
Bad SENATOR"
According to the report the Senator
told the Grand Jury that the articles in
Jured him in his profession as a lawyer,
tended to hold him up TO ridicule and
were prompted by malice..
The Senator may be assured that the
articles will not injure his reputation as
q lawyer. that by reason of them his
Senatorial record Will not bs damaged,
that his political enemies have held him
up TO ridicuie ever since he has held
Office, and that in q civil suit for dam
ages he could recover no substantial
damages.
His only chance in this case is to prove
malice, aud ii he turns from q defender
of criminals. in which capacity he has
earned a big reputation and many a fee,
to a prosecutor of every one who attacks
his talents, he will have his hands full.

three months take upshis residence in Es-

convention. Senator Adrain at present
lives in New Brunswick aud Is one of the
Miles Ross l~ieutenants. He owes all his
political success TO the statesman of the
Cheeseqaakes, and believes that Middle-
sex will be safe enough when the time
comes. but ne needs help from other
counties. The State leaders are said to
be against Adrain for any office, and
that is t he reason why he comes out now
and hips his fingers in their faces and
bides them defiance. The State House
leaders smile sarcastically when they are
appealed to for an expression ON the can

Adraln does not hesitate to say that he
