Last Wednesday, Election Returns.

The election returns of 1.-The Jersey
City News in the Extra edition ON We'd

commended by politicians and others
who take a special interest in the details
of the vote. In point of fact. they nave
never been surpassed here or elsewhere
for completeness. clearness and accuracy.
Today we print the totals ascerta1ned
by the official Board of Canyassers.
These show how extraordinarily close
was the work of 1.-THE News" For in
stance, we figured Mr.. Simpsons major
sty as President of the Board of Alder
men at SIS. The official count makes II

votes in "a count of $4,000. Again, we
made Mr.. Browns majority over Mr..
Lewis $50. The official count makes 1t
s74. a difference of Is votes. Mr.. Hard
ing's majority we made LAS; the Of
fetal figures give LAS. showing an error
of one vote. And so5it runs through
the whole LIST OF candidates.
This wonderful result was reached
with unprecedented rapidity. too. The
extra edition of ''rhe News was sold
on the street at i've o'clock A. M. sharp
and sold like hot cakes. too. 1.-The
Journal struggled out alta quarter to

to crib the figures. But this is not So

to the result of the election. But the
journal is a queer paper in all re-

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND shows a
good example in reporting his entire in
come, including the Presidents salary
to the Income Tax. Collector. But moth
ing is more clearly settled by aw than
that his salary is not subject to the
tax. It would be a reduction of his COM
pensation, made during his term. The
courts have ruled it so in other cases.
But the President is right in leaving
it to the proper officials to rule on the
point instead of assuming the exemption
on his own authority.

As to Charges of Fraud.

There are charges of crooked cleo
ton work in the Seventh precinct of the
First Aldermanic district. This precinct
gave sfr. Hoos 152 votes to Simpsons
tS. and about the same to all the other
sandidaees.-just a fiuctuation of a vote
or two.
In the November election. 1t gave Stew
ems 1s5 votes to 1N for McEwan.
We confess. we do not ourselves see
Just where the fraud comes in. but we
find this paragraph in an article in a
weekly PAPER which is said to draw its
Inspiration direct from certain party
leaders,
The committee should also investigate
the charges of fraud in the Seventh pre-
cinct of the First district. 1t should De
mand, if it has not already demandea, q
recount in that precinct and eyery Where
else where fraud MAY be suspected.
By all means let us have a recount
everywhere there is the least suspicion
of fraud. We draw Judge L~fppincotts
attention to the paragraph quoted above
and to the figures of the precinct. We
sugges that if there be the least sus-
picion Of fraud about 1t, the attention
of the Grand Jury be directed to this
matter.

CANOVAS ON CUBA.
Bn cnb1e to thc United Press.

PARIS, July s. 1S95.-The "Gauiois''
published an interview with Senor Can
ovas del Castillo. Prime Minister of
Spain, in which the Spanish Premier is
reported to have said
There will be no decisive operations
in Cuba for the present, owing to the
exactions of the climate. The insurrec-
ton in Cuba is not due to the white
residents of the island, but is the work
of foreign adventurers. Supplies of
arms. ammunition and money have
reached the insurgents. chiefly from the
United States. but these have recently
decreased owing to the entirely proper
and extremely energetic action of the
Government at Washington
Senior Canovas expressed his gratifica-
tion at the unaninity of feeling through
out the Spanish nation in regard to the
rebellion. and also expressed his con-
viction that the insurrection would be
completely suppressed before the end Of
the year.

HOW FREE WOOL
WORKS..

PROVIDENCE, R. T., July S.-Wages
in the wooden and worsted industry all
over the State will be increased during
the present month from 71a to 12 per
cent.
In some factories the increase will af-
feet only the weavers for the present,
but in the other departments an increase
will probably follow by the middle OF
August.
A leading mill owner stated last night
that the promises made to the operators
in the latter part of '93, when the cut
in wages was made, were about to be
fulfilled.
The increase will also affect the big
Olneyville factory district in this city,
where the help which went out on a
strike in May and largely drifted away,
is very scarce. Higher wages must be
paid in order to get the skilled weavers
and spinners back again.
The mill owners, it is learned, have
made better rates on lightweight cloth
work, the manufacture of which will be-
gin during the present month. This as
sures higher wages to the operatives in
this locality.
The smaller mills all over the State will
at once follow the lead OF the Olneyville
mill owners in making the advances.
During the long Olneyville strike it was
frequently stated by Woonsocket, Pas
coag and South County manufacturers
that wages would be advanced in these
localities just as soon as the increase
was given at Olneyville.
When the strikers at Olneyville re
turned to- work June rs, there was a
tacic understanding that wages would be
in all the Olneyville mills and upon a
half promise many of the strikers for
higher wages went back to work. The
formal announcement of the Olneyville
increase will be made soon.

Hoboken and iBayonne Liquor
Dealers Can't Be Indicted
for Sunday Selling.

Senator W. D. DAILY speaking of the
closing of saloons in Hoboken on Sun
day and the violation of the law direct
ing this. says
My opinion being asked by you as to
whether Sunday l:quor selling in Hobo
ken is an ind:ctable offense, permit me
to say that l have examined into the

Indictment will lie, and if any have been
found by the present Grand Jury against
the saloonkeepers of Hoboken, they can
be vacated or quashed upon mere sug-
gestion to the court, calling attention
to the law as it now stands.
"The act of 1893 wiped out the pro-
vision of the Werts' law, relative to in
dictment of saloonkeepers as keepers
of d:sorderly houses. 1t was under this
law that they were indicted for selling
liquor on Sunday. That law having
been repealed by the act Of 1893, we re-
turn to the old law, which provides that

such ordinances. and not by criminal
complaint or Indictment.
