THE testimonials of merit, awarded
to our city schools at Chicago, do
honor to the brains of u people and
to the ability and industry of our adj
mirable corps of teachers. No small
praise attaches to Superintendent
Snyder, his predecessor, Mr.. Poland
and the members of the Board of
Education in Office at the. time the ex-
hibits were prepared, and for some
time preceding. We have at least a
right to be very proud of our schools.

CAMDEN, June 81, 1S94.-The Thompson
election case was continued at the City Hall
yesterday. The City Hall was selected by
the committee so Thompson could not again
lure witnesses into the basement and
threaten them, as, it is alleged, was done at
the Court House last week.
The first witness examined was William
S. Shaw of Blackwood. Shaw said he voted
the Democratic ticket last fall and was paid
for it.
"Do you remember who paid you?" the
witness was asked.
Certainly l do"
"Who was itP'
"Newkirk Wentz, - was the answer
The admission caused a sensation, as
Wentz is the Secretary of the Democratic
CountyC Committee and was one of the En-
crossing Clerks of the House of Assembly
last year.
Shaw stated that he voted the Republican
ticket, although Wentz gave him the money
for voting, he supposed, the Democratic
ticket with Thompson's name appearing
upon its face. He admitted having been
paid money for his vote many times before.
Being questioned by Mr.. Flynn, the wit
ness said that at the same election he had re-
ceiyed 81 from Nathan McGee for voting the
Republican ticket. He had heard that Wentz
was throwing money around literally.
"That was 81 you made that day, wasn't
ita" asked Flynn.
Eyes, SIR" s
Don't you wish it was election every
dayz" as
A laughiltARa caused by these questions and
answers. D les be.
Ex-Judge Rankin wanted to know if ex-
State Senator Richard Herring, the Repub-
Shaw answered in the negative decisively.
Samuel Hicks, another resident OF Hicks
town, said he did not mind kissing sthe
Bible. because hesswas kinder used to 1.-THE
book" ~
"Did yon get anything for voting that
dayW he was asked.
Yes sir | got paid So"
"Who gave it to youf"
Gone of Mr.. Wentz boys-I do not know
his name"
During the examination of Benjamin Cox
| of Gloucester, who said he was a republican
and a Methodist, Mr.. Thompson remarked
that Cox was a discharged employee OF his
and was being used to do him up.
Lawyer Wartman replied that this was
false. The Duk in reply said Wartman was
a lawyer of very small ability. 4
A large number of witnesses were heard
and some among them admitted to having
taken money from both democrats n re-
publicans for their votes, During the course
of the examination Mr.. Thompson took ex-
| ception to the line of Questioning and ac-
cused the committee of being prejudiced
against his interests. There We're a number
of witnesses who failed TO respond, and
Chairman Storrs instructed counsel for the
contestant to issue warrants for their ar
rest.

WHY did not the police arrest the
foreman of the gang of Lehigh Valley
Railway workmen who made that
outrageous attempt to steal Chapel
avenue, yesterday morning. He
should have been held in bail, so that
he might be taken before the Grand
Jury and compelled to give evidence
by which the real scoundrels, the
officers who ordered him to go there
and steal the street might be indicted.
There is only one way to stop these
outrages:-Indict and try the real
conspirators. They can always be
reached through the testimony of the
small fry who actually do the work.
But now, the police having made no
arrests, the small fry are out of reach.
Nobody knows whom to subpoena,
and if we did, the men are probably
in New YORK and beyond our iuris-
diction.
A single stroke on the ground with
a pick was enough to justify the az
rest and detention under bonds of
the whole marauding party.

JUDGE INGRAHAM appears to have
shown Erastus Wiman all the Glenn
ency that the case admitted OF. Of
course it is sad to see such a man in
such a positions; but what are heavy
penalties for if not to punish such
men when they get into just those
very positions. They are not for
t%uppenny kiters of ten dollar frauds.
Wiman had been stealing for years,
and had stolen thousands upon thou
sands. He had already been shown
more mercy than he deserved, and he
took advantage of it to commit still
mor crimes, among them the n for
which lie was convicted. That is all
there is of the case.

His nomination would win the sup
port of every sold influence and
every conservative citizen in the
State. Ex-Governor Ludlow, Cham
cellor McGill or Ex-Governor Green
would be winning candidates if placed
in the field by their party.
What u could Hobart hope to
make against any of these men? Pit
him against Albeit on the equal tax
alton issue. Bring to the front the
water question. Where would he be?
Contrast his selfish career of working
and chicaning for corporate and cap
i~talistic interests, his old-time, spoils
grabbing, machine bound methods
with the bold and high minded course
of Job H. Lippincott, who, throwing
personal ambition and party consid-
erations alike TO the winds, performed
his duty to the cause of morality, the
cause of law and the highest int rests
of the State with the inhexible
serenity of a Roman Consul.
1t is nonsense! Mr.. Hobart may talk
and scheme. Colonel Anderson may
pretend to endorse him. Dick Read
ing may fawn and adulate. But
there is no plan, or course, or means
that can be resorted to that will elect
a Republican Governor of this State
next year, if the Democratic party is
only half true to itself and the people
in making it's nomination.

TOO MUCH RATTAN.
Several Hoboken Schools Under
Observation-Disclosures to
Be Jouneed Up.

President Russ of the Hoboken School
Board is investigating the charges made
against teachers of No. 4 School of harsh
and unkind treatment of their pupils, as ex-
clusively told in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
last Saturday. Mr.. Russ thus far has veri-
fed the statements published in this paper,
and when he has concluded the investigation
which he is making thorough, charges will
be preferred against all the teachers con-
cerned.
Mr.. Neimeyer of No. 255 Sixth street
made the allegations to a reporter of this
paper upon which Mr.. Russ Is working. Mr..
Nelmeyer asserted to the reporter that he
had seen three of the teachers, whose names
he did not know but whose features were
familiar, apply the rattan, ruler and some
times their bare hands to their pupils when
the latter displeased them. In several i'll
| stances he had seen the teachers hit their
pupils in a way he would not permit to be
adopted towards his own children, and one
little fellows wrist bled from the whacks, it
had received.
Teachers in the schools confidently expect
a mighty shake-up next fall. This paper has
told of the improper conduct OF teachers
| connected with No. 2 School, and No. 4 has
proven to be fully as bad. No. Q teachers, it
is charged, write funny notes to each other
and allow a peculiar SYSTEM of marking to
be conducted by their favorite pupils, de-
voting scarcely any attention to it them
selves. 1t is not improbable that of the
school trustees will introduce a resolution at
the next meeting of the School Board, trans
ferring Principal Lycett of No. 2 School and
Principal Kelly of No. 5.
This trustee, who would not allow the use
of his name, said Lycett had begun to run
in a rut III the government OF his school and
needed to be jounced up O little.
Only Malaria in the Circus CO
The manager of Washburn's Railroad
Circus, President Campbell of the Hoboken
Board of Health and Mayor Pagan last
night, talked over the a~dvisability of allow
! ing the circus to exhibit in Hoboken today.
On accountof the alleged cases of smallpox
in the troupe it was regarded by the Hoboken
Health people as ~1nexpedient to permit the
exhibition. The manager persuaded the
| gentlemen that the case was not smallpox
but malarial fever. He had secured a
license to exhibit a week ago which was paio
for. The Mayor and Mr.. Campbell talked
together awhile, and finally agreed to per-
init the performance.
Closing Days at Stevens.
A reception was given last evening to the

The Jungfrau is situated on the

200 feet less than that of Mont Blanc,
the giant among the mountains Of
Europe. In 1890 project to reach
the summit by rail was launched, but
the plans were not feasible. The
present plan is to start the road on
the Scheideck Mountain (Wengern

the sea. The rack system Of railroad
ing, which is employed by the Mont
Gents, Righi and Zermatt Railways
most successfully, will be used in
pulling up the cars to the Jungfrau,

Reliable information reaches here
of the burning of a Negro in
Ouachita county supposed to have
the smallpox. The telegram con-
veying the intelligence says:
Last Monday Negro at Miles
Switch, in Ouachita county, was
taken sick with some kind of a
breaking out which was thought
to be smallpox, and a doctor was
summoned. For some reason he
did not attend. The Negro was
put in a cabin to- which some one
set fire, and being unable to escape
he perishedi in the flames. One
report says be- was shot then burn
ed, while another report says he
was burned alive One thing is
certain, and that is that the house
occupied by the Negro was burned
to the ground and he cannot be
found. The identity of the guilty
parties is not known.
