THAT asinine measure restricting
i~nheritances to 81, DOC. 900 has been in
troduced in the Assembly this year.
Last year Senator Bill DAILY made his
populist yawp with it in the Senate.
The bill is fathered by Mr.. Watson
of Camden. 1t should suffice to place
him on the political retired list.
Rational men a have no more use
for him.
1t would be waste of time to show
now such a easur would promptly
drive about half the wealth OF the
State across the boundary line
Everyone knows that except donkeys
like Watson, and their ears are too
long for them eve to get the idea
through their heads.
Watson should go and join Coxey's
army.

A GOOD many silly men are talking
just now about giving women the
right of suffrage. One would think
this was an unimportant trife to be
bestowed as a sort of ba wble or toy,
just to please the ladies-bless their
hearts.
But it would be a good idea for the
gentlemen who entertain these ideas
to ask themselves a few sober ques-
tions, such as these:-
Would you entrust your W pri-
vate business to the management OF
any you eve sawf
Would you trust your honor, liberty
or life to a jury OF women where any
effort of logic or comprehension OF
business affairs was required?
Did you ever meet a woman who
was able to master a public question
on its merits as an issue of fact and
logic?

Water Pirates, BiII.


on Monday evening, i, from all we
can learn, a very odd measure. We
have reason to think that it has been
introduced in the interest of the East
Jersey Water COMPANY, and that it is
the precursor of an attempt by that
to fasten a water contract
on jersey City similar to the Newark
swindle.
The bill was originally introduced
by Mr.. Salinger. 1t was then known
as Assembly Bill No. $50. On the re-
monstrance of members of the Jersey
City Board of Trade, Mr.. Salinger
withdrew it. Its present sponsor is
Mr.. David D. Zabriskie, who sits for
the Second district of Bergen County.
Mr.. Zabriskie is managing clerk for
Messrs. Collins & Corbin of this city.
Messrs. Collins g. Corbin are counsel
Tor the Lehigh Valley Railway. The
Lshigh Valley Railway is the inan-
cial hacker and general proprietor of
the East Jersey Water Company. So
here we have a very pretty chain CON
Meeting the bill and the pirate COM
pany together.
That the bill is aimed to facilitate
a contract with Jersey City cannot
be doubted. Its purpose is to confer
upon the company, beforehand, the
right to condemn any lands. water or
water rights that may be needed for
the fulfilment of such a contract.
When the company had made its deal
with Newark it found it could not
easily get owners along the Pequan-
mock watershed to sell out. There
fore it had a bill passed in which it
was enacted:
That where any such board (Street and water)
has heretofore lawfully contracted for the erection
and construction of such water works for the sup
ply Of such city. such board shall have power, If it
is deemed necessary, to purchase. or in case OF In
ability to agree with any owner, to condemn such
lands. waters and rights as may be required.
The powers of this bill were ex7
hausted in the case of Newark, that
being the only city having thereto
fore made a contract.
BIZ No. $40 proposes to strike out
the word heretofore" and substitute
the words cor shall hereafter have"
Thus the clause wilhopen thus
That where any such board has or shall hereafter
have lawfully contracted, &C.
There can only be one reason for
this change. Somebody has it in
mind to make a contract with some
city. Jersey City is about the only
one big enough to make it worth
while passing this bill, and we have
shown the connection between the
bill and the East Jersey Company.
This measure should be killed. 1t
is not to the advantage of this or any
other city. 1t is for the benefit of
water contractors. purely and simply.
1t only comes into play, you observe,
when a contract is made.
II 1t passes it will be n more ex-
ample of the slavish su~bserviencY of
Republican legislators to the interests
of monopoiies, which grow rich by
preying upon the people.

CHICAGO is in hard financial straits. A general reduction has been made in tre salaries of all the city officers, and while the Mayors salary is fixed by law, he has never theless set the example for his sub ordinates to follow by returning 10 per cent of his salary to the Treas nrer every month. The action of Mayor Hopkins in this regard is strictly Democratic and very com mendable.

A PREHISTORIC CITY.
Remarkable Discovery In the Heart ef
 the sierra Madre Mountains,

the Sierra NadrG BlouBthtns,
 MApIaI, Mex, Feb. l4 Malvern ". Cresworth, an English mining man. well known throughout southwest Mexico, arrived here from loug over land journey through the Sierra Madre mountains, his starting point being Gn- lican, near the Pacific coast. in the state of Sinaloa. He claims to have visited section of country never be- fore visited by x white man of the present generation, and tbst he discov= cred large and beautiful deserted city. He states thet this wonderful city is situated about 90 miles west of Lake Colorado. in the very recesses of the Sierra Madress Is occupies basin about 10 miles long by s miles wide. Perpendicular cliffs surround the basin on all sides, rising to q height of hum dreds of feet
 The only entrance to the city Is through deep cer son, which haa a width of about 30 feet. MT. Ores worth states that he stumbled onto the secret entrance quite by accident. Ho gives 8 vivid description of the deserted city. The buildings, he says, are constructed of red stone blocks, resembling granite. The business blocks are two and three stories in height, and are entirely diff ferent in architectural design from the structures built by the Aztecs and Span iards The streets are very narrow, but are laid out in regular order. In the city IS a small park, which is over grown with rare flowers and tropical vegetation.
 He entered the business houses and decaying residences. but found very lit tie of value except soma remarkable and strange ornaments made of stone. He believes that the city was footed at the time that 1t WAS deserted, whenever that may have been. No records or writings of any kind were found, nor did he discover any skeleton that would give an idea as to the race of people who at one time inhabited the city. None of the natives of that section of country had ever heard of the deserted city.
 Mr Cresworth is making diligent in quiry of them. Mir Cresworth's story IS very startling and remarkable. but it is believed by those to whom he has related his experiences. He will or ganize and expedition to make thor ough exploration of the city.

n1IIESE X.IRD YIHEIN.

Under the above caption we find the following sensible remarks in the Chicago Record, which We com mend to all our readers for their earnest perusal
 There is still some eroaking because of the hard times. And it is the croaking that makes the times hard If all complaining which is really without any substantial foundation could stop, the business interests would receive at once wonderful impulse toward Improvement
 We believe the country is on the verge of an era of great prosperity and that within few months at most there will be no complaint of the lack of or depression in business.
 We believe this for the following reasons:
 There is scarcely a manufacturer of staple goods in the country who has any considerable stock on hand With the threat of business depres- sion manufacturing enterprises at once checked their output of goods, and during the last seven months surplus stocks have been exhausted. Even now the manufactoriesg of the country are gradually putting a few more men at work and exhausted stocks are being replenished.
 Again, the business men are pl'ae- tically out of debt. The insolvent and reckless have failed while legiti- mate business enterprises have paid up. or reduced their stocks and are ready for the revival ofbusiness when it shall come.
 1t must not be overlooked that wholesale merchants are not carry ing large stocks of goods, while re- tailers, in city and country, have bought sparingly and have empty shelves.
 The banks are full of money which they are anxious to loan tlow rates of interest and every idle dollar in the country is on the look out foi. profitable investment.
 In domestic life every man or woman who, for want of ready money, has made the old coat or dress do an extra six months of service will have to purchase new garments.
 The result of all this is that, from nianufactory to kitchen, there must soon be a new start and the financial condition of the country is exactly in the situation to encourage a revival of business. Confidence is returning and is only restrained by the com plaints of hard times for which there really is very little reason or excuse. Some uneasiness has been oecasioned by the uncertainty Of Congressional action on pending legislatiom but a few weeks at most will decide what action the Senate will take upon the Wilson bill Whatever the fate of that measure may he the country was never in a better condition for d radical change than it is today. If no change is made. the most timid have no reason for Quaking
 There is no cause for alarm and. that being the case. complaining of hard times ought to cease.
