The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1894-01-05

we showed up, unavailingly we re-
greet to say, the character of the Con-
solidatedC oinpany's percentage clause
in Jersey City. If Mayor Pagan has
detected any attempt to impose on
Hoboken in similar fashion, he has
simply done his duty in i%ncerposing a
vigorous veto.
Hoboken wants the trolley, and
wants it badly. 1t must have the
trolley to keep up with the times.
But it ought to have a reasonable
| dividend from the earnings OF the
trolley, to boot. We believe Mayor
Pagan may be relied upon to secure
the city its full rights.
Proposed "Reform'' Legislation.
The list of partisan laws selected
by the Republican ''reformers" under
| General Sewell's guidance, for repeal
during the coming session of tae Leg
islature is chiefly remarkable for one
omission. The Daily Act, commonly
known as the Wanser Wing Clipper.
This was the most atrocious of all the
partisan laws of the last session. 1t
should be repealed the very first day
the Legislature meets. 1t has no
friends among honest men. Governor
Werts will sign the repeater the mo-
ment it is presented to him, just as
he vetoed the law last year. 1t is
most astonishing to see this Act omit
ted or overlooked. We should have
thought that every reformer, whether
republican or democrat, would have
borne it uppermost in his mind.
We are almost equally astonished at
some OF the laws that we do find set
down in the list. We IRE puzzled to
know Just how the County Board of
Registration law is bipartisan measure;
the members are selected too from
either party. The Bank and Insur-
ance Commissioner law is another
which we are surprised to see made
the subject of attack. We are not
surprised to see an assault made on
the State Board of Assessors. Know
ing as we do the influences which
control the Republican party, we
fully expect to see a determined effort
made to relieve the poor down.
trodden railroads of the grievous
burden of taxation which they now
bear, and the load showed over on the
shoulders Of the farmers, the business
men and the laborers of the State.
The list-it was published in full in
THE News, two days ago-is a rare
one. With perhaps ter bad measures
which assuredly ought TO be- repealed,
it combines about twenty excellent
laws which have worked well and
done an ininity Of good. In every
second item at least the hand of mere
wanton party spite may be detected,
and in fully a third Of the whole
number the influence of the corpora
tions is apparent. If one half the
proposed reforms" be carried out the
State will be thrown back ten years
in the matter of good government ON
modern lines.

The second Japanese army. under
the command OF Field Marshal Count
Erma. minister OF war. consisted OF.
0bout 10000 men. and when this force
arrived on the Regsnt's Sword promin-

the Japanese fleet. operated against the
forts Of fallen Wan, while the other
directed It's movements against Kin
CHOW, ON the western side OF The prom

fallen Wan and Kin Chow were both
captured. after which the army again
combined and the march ON Port Ar
thur was commenced,
Several engagements OF minor Import
ance took place along the route, but,
according to the reports, the Japancae
were invariably successful. The roads
leading northward from Port Arthur
were supposed 10 have been mlhed by
the Chinese. and the Ja3pnese COM
mandcr therefore declined to take the
risk Of marching his troops along thcm.
Consequently they were compelled to
