sell his birthright almost to take the free
holders from the control of the Democrats
and prevent the confirmation OF MAYOR
Anderson
But this shrewd, practical business man,
who was SO fal-seeing as to behold IN the
fortune and the site of one of the most
thriving communities III the State, allowed
the politicians to hoodwink him with SOFT
words and elaborate promises until he had
secured for them the passage of all their
lniquitous measures, and then when ne
asked them for something i'll return they
laughed at him and bade him depart to
region they teach you to shun at Asbury
Park.
THE FISH POUND FARCE.
Another measure which the good Founder
Bradley allowed to be killed in this manner
was the bill which sought to abolish the fish
pounds which are located along the New
Jersey coast. Large delegations of fishermen
from Monmouth and other counties journled
to Trenton and told the committee what a
great injury to the Door fishermen were
these ponds, which are maintained only for
the profit of few wholesale fishermen OF
the large cities
The hook and line fishermen told the COM
mittee that the pounds were running this
business, and confronting them with starva-
tion. The same complaint came from hotel
proprietors along the coast who said that
the pounds, located as they were in the
track OF the fish proceeding into the bays
and estuaries to spawn, had completely
stripped those bodies of water of all game
fish. This had had the effect of keeping peo-
pie away from the coast and the hotel
keepers said, was doing their business great
injury.
Mr.. Bradley introduced the bill abolishing
the pounds and was inclined at first TO side
with the poor fisherman of his county, but
in a short time he began to swing back and
forth like a pendulum between ''for" and
against" and when the last opportunity to
do SO arrived he was against"
The temperance men who had based such
high hopes upon Mr.. Bradley, were also
doomed to great disappointment. He only
introduced one bill in their interest and that
prohibited the retailing of liquor within 400
feet of any church. 1t is hard to believe
that a man with far less power than Senator
Bradley held could not have obtained the
passage of that bill if he had simply had the
stamina to demand that it go through be-
fore he would vote for a single party meas
ure But he allowed the foxy leaders to
jolly him into helping them get all they
wanted even going so far, ike the cat IN the
fable, as to burn his fingers raking chestnuts
out of the fire for the Republicans until 1t
was too late to pass his bill
Notwithstanding this, the good Mr.. Brad
ley had enough stamina, force of mind or
what not, to obtain the passage of bills
which favored Asbury Park where all his
material interests lie

MUCH BUSINESS TRANSACTED.
Alex. Dusenbery Takes Hold as
Water Assessor Resigned All
Other Jobs.

The hot weather was too much for the
new Street and Water Commissioners this
morning. They were not in the humor to
go into the wholesale dismissal of Democrats.
The commissioners also neglected to attire
themselves in mourning costumes, and

light clothes and deeapitations did
not go well together, postponed
them until meeting, which is to be held on
Thursday. Belleville and Kigh Service en-
ployes go Thursday, together with number
of the old clerks in the Water Department.

time selecting victims.

sented on or before July 16. The improve
ment of Hancock avenue was authorized and
the contract awarded to J. j. Shea.

construct a sewer in Central avenue between
Congress street and Cambridge avenue. Thepe-
tition was granted subject to the concurrence
of the Board of Finance. c. c. Van Reipen
petitioned the board for q sewer in Van
Reipen place. 1t will be built. Mr.. Van
Reipen called the boards attention to the
fact that Plymouth street had not been
swept in three years. The complaint was
referred for investigation. John Hopkins
and others asked the board to appoint John
Weurster inspector of the Central avenue
sewer. The appointment will probably be
made
The board adopted specifications for the
delivery of the coal at Believille, passed the
May payrolls and adjourned to meet on
Thursday.

intendent of the electric company in New York
which he has held for many years. He pro
poses devoting his whole time to his duties

An Operator Blames the Men.

PHILADELPHIA, June IL, 1S94-William
D. Kelly, one of the committee of bituminous
coal operators, who went to Altoona ON Sat
urday to attend the conference with the
striking miners and returned to his home in
this city, said to day
81 think that the miners were deceived as
to the conference While the operators
were willing to meet delegates representing
employees, although chosen by the labor or
ganizations, they require that the employees
shall be bound by the action of their repre-
sentatives.
"We had assurances that such would be
the case, but we think these assurances
were withheld by the labor leaders from
the miners About the first thing we
learned after reaching Altoona was that
any action taken by the men would have to be
approved by National President Mcbride
before it would be binding. If the employees
could not act for themselves we determined
that conference was useless, and so none
was held, although several operators had
informal talks with the workmen."
