The Ma,.by s.civIl Rights. Act.

A beautiful specimen of Republican
reform" legislation is to be found in the
new civil Rights" bill passed by the
New York Legislature. Under this prec-
ious enactment, a party of industrious
young negroes are conducting a campaign
of blackmail against New York restau-
rant keepers, bakers and turkish bath
establishments. The law is a most ex-
traordinary one. 1t requires the proprl-
etors of all such establishments, as well
as theatres and concert halls to accema-
date any applicant without discrimina-
ton. 1t may be a negro or 1t may De a
dirty tramp. 1t may be a half rum SOAK
ed brute, or 1t may be a loud and onen-
sive rufian. So LONG as the applicant
keeps within the strict limit of the law,
he cannot be excluded.
s.Maltby Law" being called after the
social rowdy who engineered it through
the Legislature for buncombe political
purposes. When we read of such a law
and its workings, We are hiieu win
amazement at the reckless and wanten
inconsiderateness of the men who vote
affirmatively on 1t. Between the two
Houses of the New York Legislature, II
must nave taken at least eighty afirma-
tive votes to pass it. We presume there
is not one of the eighty men who voted
to pass it who would enter a Turkish
bath in which a negro was to be MS
companion. We doubt if there Is one OF
the eighty who would shudder at the
idea of being shaved with the same
razor, or sitting at the same table during
dinner at Delmonfco's or the Waldorf.
But the Republican party wants the
negro vote in New York, and wants 1t
badly. So. everything goes.

GIFT TO STEVENS INSTITUTE.
The Graduating Glass Presents Their
Alma Mater with a New Engine.

Stevens institute was presented with
a twenty horse power steam engine
yesterday afternoon by the members Of
the Glass of '95. The engine is for use
in the work shop and laboratory, and is
the best addition that has been made to
the institution for some years.
President Morton accepted the gift on
behalf of the institute, and expressing
his sense of the interest manifested by
the Glass of '95 in the institute and its
succeeding classes, President Morton
Concluded as follows:..
Having in view the fact that you
have just gone through Inc process OF
being manufactured into mechanical en-
Eineers, I do not doubt that it was a

CEMENT MAINS MUST GO
Street and Water Board Will
Rapidly Replace Them With
Steel Pipes.

The old cement water mains that were
laid in various parts of the city several
years ago are beginning to be a source
of great expense and considerable an
noyance to property owners and also to
the Street and Water Commissioners.
Commissioner Harding, as chairman OF
the Committee on Assessments and Ex-
tensions, has, decided to replace as many
of them as possible with street pipes.
Breaks in the cement mains frequently
cause house to be flooded and necessi-
tate the employment of a large force
OF men to be On hand at all times to
make repairs. The cement mains are
so old and rotten that they are prac-
tically useless. They are also too small
to furnish the supply of water that is
required, especially to Hill consumers.
Payonia avenue. east and west of sum-
nit avenue. is to be paved, eurbed and
tagged. The discovery was made a few
days ago that there is a cement water
main IN the street. and COMMISSIONS
Harding proposes having it torn out n
an iron main laid in Its stead.
IT'S TEDIOUS WORK.
1t Is tedious work. but when finished
there will be no more tearing up of the
street to make repairs.
Where Pavonia avenue intersects the
Boulevard the pipe will have to be laid
on a heavy grade in order to nave it
properly covered with earth. The resi-
dents of Pavonfa avenue have consented
to find no fault over the scarcity of
water while the new mains are being
laid. 1t is proposed to pave Oak street
with asphalt, and In the street there Is
about 500 feet of cement main, which
breaks nave been Of frequent occurrence.
Iron. pipe is TO be laid to prevent the
tearing up OF the asphalt when once
laid. In Atlantic street there are 1000
feet of he cement main. 1t has been
a source of considerable to
the residents. The street is to be i'm,
proved this summer, and Commissioner
Harding proposes removing the cement
main, laying steel pipes. In st. Paui's
avenue 1000 feet of the old main will
be removed and replaced with steel pipes
of greater diameter than the old main,
COMMISSIONER HARDING'S GOOD
WORK.
The improvements in this direction that
Commissioner Harding has under consid-
Grafton will require about three car
loads of water pipe. 1t is his inten-
ton to- remove every foot of cement
mains in the city just as soon as he
has sufficient money to pay for the work.
He. Is opposed to having streets paved
and otherwise improved and then de-
stroyed by being torn up to repair water
mains that are too old and rotten to
withstand the pressure CT the water.

q OF THE TEST.
Points From the Arguments of
nsellors Kaliscl nd Eiker.

Special to The Jersey Cttn IYca-c.
NEWARK, June IS. 1895.-The test of
the constitutionality of the act of May
16 was made at the suit of Michael F.
Mclaughlin, who stood as the represen-
tative of the Democracy. His counsel
consisted of F. w. Stevens and Samuel
and Leonard Kalisch. City Counsel Rik-
er and City Attorney Depue, represent
ing the city, argued for the constitution
atty of the act.
Before Judges Dixon, Albeit and Reid,
of the Supreme Court. argument was
first made. The court decided that the
act was constitutional. Mr.. Stevens took
out a writ of certiorari to the Court of
Errors and Appeals, before which the
case vas argued a second time.
There were several points made by the
Kalisch brothers. The first and chief
point was made by Leonard Kalisch, and
was thus expressed in their Brief
ut is also to be observed that the act
of May 16 is unconstitutional on another
ground-in that the law expresses more
than one object not expressed in it's title.
The fifth section of the act provides
wards into election Districts. This is not
expressed inthe title of the act. and:
Marda into IS ei m% Z dIggtrie dhe h alyis aiWaS IS
been the subject of separate and dis
tinct legislation in this State.
Several citations were made in support
of this contention.
The other points m the brief were as
follows:-
i. The act of May IS. 1894, is :nvalid,
because It is private, special and local.
in that it provides that the Mayors of
cities of the first class shall appoint
commissioners for the urpose of divid-
ing such cities into wards, etc.
2. 1t interferes with the local officers
8. 1t provides a different mode for the
division of the city into ward in cities
Of the first class from that in vogue IN
all other cities of this State.
4. 1t diyests the common councils of
cities of the first class of the right to
divide cities into wards, and vests. the
sam in commissioners. who are created
solely for the accomplishment of that
purpose, and whose powers cease wnen
the object has been attained.
5. There was no reason or necessity for
establishing for cities of the first class
a different machinery for the divisions of
wards, etc. than was in vogue in ali
cities of the State.
s h get s in diresst violation % Of +
Constitution. The Legislature shall not
pass private. local or special laws in
any of the following enumerated eases;
that is to say Regulating the

GREAT DAY IN GREENVILLE.


Ii Was Not the New Canal. But
Armbruster AssocIatfon:s Picnic.
A stranger in Greenville yesterday,
judging from the decorations on the
houses and the blare of brass bands,
would have supposed that a national
holiday was being celebrated. A cele-
bration was N progress, but it attended
the second annual picnic of the Charles
Armbruster Association. one of the most
popular social organizations in Green
vile. The celebration began as early as
two o'clock, when the member of the
association. over a hundre in number
paraded through the streets attired in
white plug hats and eaded by
Schlund's Military Band. Charles Arm
bruster of Happy Days fame, the
standard bearer of the association,
walked at the head of the line and was
loudly cheered by the crowd which
turned out to see the boys. The line
of march was from Girard avenue
along the Boulevard. to Danforth, to
Old Bergen Road, n Linden avenue
to Danforth avenue. to Ocean, to Sea
View. to Armbruster's Schuetzen Park,
where the picnic was held. At the
park there was prize bowling for ladies
