FINANCE COMBINE
Messrs. Bailey, Detwiller and
Simpson Have Fixed Things
to Suit Themselves.

The Finance Board will meet Thursday
evening to act upon the resolution of the
Street and Water Board, appointing
/ Messrs. Barnes and Church engineers to
inspect the water and recommend any
amendments which they consider i will
better protect the city's interests in case
a water contract is entered into. The
resolution will meet with opposition from
Commissioners Jones and Hardenbergh
and the meeting promises to be a lively
ome. Commissioners Bailey. Detwiller
and Simpson have formed a temporary
combination against their colleagues and
it is said upon excellent authority that if
a resolution to advertise for bids for a
new supply of water goes through the
Board of Finance, 1t will be by the votes
of the combine. Commissioner Harden
bsrgh, it is said, is opposed to the max
ing of a new contract, and believes that
no better water than the Passaic can be
obtained, If ITS pollution is prevented.
1t is an assured fact that final action
is to be taken upon the matter shortly.
The Street and Water Commissioners are
now prepared to receive bids, and Conn
missioner Cone is authority for the state
ment that if suitable bids are submitted
no time will be lost in awarding a con-
tract for a term of twenty-five years at
least. The Street and Water Commits
sioners are of the opinion that legal COM
plications will arise as soon as the
award is made. This does not deter them,
as they say it is a duty they owe to the
public to show good faith in the matter
of providing supply of pure water.
The Finance Commissioners will prob
ably appoint a successor to Philip Me-
Govern, the Assistant Clerk of the
Board, who died after a short Illness on
Sunday.
IF the Finance Board will appoint as
good a man as Philip McGovern was"
said Clerk Finck this morning, II will
be satisfied. He was a smart young man
and was attentive to his duties. He was
sober and Industrious and at all times a
gentleman. Since he has been my as
sistant he has never ~grurnbled about the
work. although we have been compelled
TO stay ait he office late at night and
frequently Saturday afternoons to get
our work up. l cannot say too much for
poor Phil McGovern."

Entertain tIle Palma Club.

The second Palma stag was held at
the club house last night. The members
had all been notified of the excellent
talent Chairman Rich of the Entertain
ment Committee had engaged, and as a
result, when the curtain went up, every
seat in the little theatre was occupied,
and standing room in the balcony and
main hall was at a premium. Joe Flynn,
as was expected, made the hit of the
evening. His songs were short and to
the point. He entertained the club boys
for fully half an hour, and, it is said,
went through his entire stock of songs.
Mile. Phyllis, a character singer, delight

AGENT, NOT TRUCK, OVERLOADED
An s. p. g.. A. 0mcer Arrested for
Stopping Wagons.

Patrolman Enwright of the Communi-
paw avenue police station last night
arrested Henry Tavers, 80 years old, of
No. 10 Ivy place. Travers is a S. P. C.
A. agent. He was trunk last night and
stood on the Communipaw avenue hill,
stopping and uselessly annoying Newark
truckmen. He would pretend to ex-
mine a horse, and, not being able to
the truck was overloaded. Enwright
saw him go through one such perform
ance and came to the conclusion that
it was Travers and not the truck that
was carrying too much, so he arrested
the agent. Travers, before Justice Doug
lass this morning, claimed that he has
authority to stop teams whenever he
want to. His Honor paroled him until
November 8. He will look into the law
on the subject of S. p. C. A. agents.

Mr.. Joseph Dana Miller's Tariff
Letters.


Resders- of 1.-THE Jersey City News
will be pleased to find in today's edi-
ton another letter on the tariff ques-
ton by Mr.. Joseph Dana Miller of this
city. Yesterday, Mr.. Miller handled the
subject from the ~workingman's point of
view and proved with the most con-
vincing logic that the wage scale of this
country-and of all countries-was totally
Independent of the protection afforded
by tariffs. Today, he takes a view of
the subject which more directly appeals
to the capitalistic class. He shows that
so far from freer trade meaning injuri-
GUS competition by English producers in
our home markets, it really leads to
competition on our W part against
England in the neutral markets of
the world which will at least check the
Of much that she already controls.
AS contributions to the work of in
struction which should be the backbone
of every Democratic campaign, we ave
not seen anything better than these let
tiers. They are, indeed, comparable to
Mr.. Moffett's admirable pamphlet for
the way in which they present funda-
mental truths in popular language n
with popular illustration. 1t has been
a serious error on the part of the Demo-
cratic campaign managers in this county
that Mr.. Miller has not been brought on
the platform to help preach the Demo-
cratic doctrine to the voters. The COM
plant is often made that we lack speakers
of real ability, who have something to.
say worth listening to, and it is a fact
that the people are tired of two or three
worn out hacks who are trotted out every
campaign ad nauseam. Here is the sort
of man that ought to be taken up by a
really live Democratic organization, an
enthusiast, a man of brains, and a resi-
lent right in our midst. That he has
not heretofore been brought to the front
is an illustration of the old saying that
no man lis a prophet in his own country.

Does the End Justify the Meanss

The Lexow Committee appears to us
to be constantly doing more harm than
good to the morals and tone of citizenship
of the public. 1t seems to nave adopted
the principle that the end justifies the
means, and no more striking evidence
of depraved public sentiment could be
found than the approval which the news
papers lavish upon all its proceedings.
The inquisitorial methods of a Legisla-
tive Committee are altogether inconsist-
ent with the Common Law under which
we live, Only extreme need ~justifies
them, and nothing can excus their abuse.
For the discovery of general conditions
of crime or error, for the ascertainment
of general facts from which the proper
ly constituted authorities can proceed
to definite reforms or specific prosecu-
tions, the extraordinary powers referred
to may be tolerated. But when they are
used for the ruin of individuals they be-
come subyersfve of free institutions, even
though the individuals aimed at be the
guiltiest upon earth.
Thus in the case of Police Commits
sioner Sheehan, a very serious wrong
seems to \be in progress-a wrong not

to Sheehan, but to American citizenship.
Sheehan is evidently a scoundrel-a cool,
clever, hardened scoundrel. If he could
be regularly indicted and tried for me-
honest man might well rejoice to see
him breaking stones beside John Y. Nc
| Kane. But it is a public danger that he
should be subjected to inquisitorial ex-
animation, day after day put through a
curse of moral torture, as 1t We're, for
no other apparent purpose than to make
him prove himself a villain out of his
own mouth. They do this in France with
their criminals, and when a celebrated
murder case is reported by cable in our
papers, we hold up our hands in hor-
ror al the cruelty and injustice of the
mands that Sheehan shall produce all his
bank books, public and private, before
the Committee. The public ones are all
right. They are public property. But
the demand for the private ones is GER
tainly a d~etestable aggression upon pri-
waite rights which every san man should
help to reprobate. A certain Grand Jury
in his county made the same demand
upon Architect Louis H. Giele of this
covery of crime-so they believed. And
yet the demand stirred up a wave of pub
lie indignation which even our courts
did not are to breast There are GER
tain things which are and should be held
beyond the reach even of justice. The
law protects a mans condolences to his
lawyer, his doctor and his confessor, ever
though the pursuit of crime be involved.
1t would be absurd to say that the same
protection should be extendedato his pri-
waite papers or accounts. There are de-
grees in all things, which rational and
right-minded men a~pprehend even when
they cannot draw sharp lines. We be-
lieve the general feeling to be that in
IllQulSftOIt INC
they are conducted with a drag meta
very great share of protection should be
afforded to the secrets of a mans private
life and the details of his private bust
ness, even though such matters might
be proper matters of public exposition
in case of a specific issue at law, whether
fused to produce his books. Presumably
the Committee will procure his indict-
ment for criminal contempt" 1t is to
be hoped 10 twelve men can be found in
New York reckless enough to convict
him..
