the session of 1894, and the cumulate
funds in the various counties were sent
to Trenton, and ON that account the
fund jumped from $49, 1900 to $4,000. 1t
will be impossible to estimate what will
be the normal income for this fund. 1t
is safe to say that it will be more than
500, 900. This will give S30o,0D more for
the use of schools, which. Will necessarily
decrease the amount of money to be
raised by local taxation in the school

CAMDEN, Jan. "a, 1895.-The Camcen
Police Department was notified yester-
day of an attempted assault Tuesday
night on Mrs. Peterson by a colored
man at Eighth street and Ferry avenue.
Mrs. Peterson is employed in a mill,
and was returning to her home at
Seventh and Florence streets. AS she
was crossing a lot below Ferry avenue,
which is a very lonely place, a colored
mar grasped her around the waist. She
screamed for help, but no one answered
her call. She finally succeeded in re-
leasing her right arm, n drew a large
knife from her pocket that she used
at her work.
The man became alarmed when he
saw the shining steel and ran. Several
women have been stopped recently by
a colored ma at the place where the
assault was attempted.

ssMcFadden,s Eiopemento at the
Academy Next Week.

That 'McFadden's Elopement' which
will be at the Academy next week, is a
very amusing entertainment, is to be in
ferred from the title alone. 1t is a new
farce-eomedy. produced by those unin-
t~erruptedly successful Davis
and Keogh, and was written by Frank
Dumont, the well known author of farce
comedies and arranger of minstrel per-
formances. Its visit to this city will be
an event of great consequence to all the
local lovers of laughter.
1t is said to be thronged with funny
situations, laughable speeches and re-
markable specialties. John Kernel gives
his great fund of vociferous hurnor to the
part of McFadden, and others in the ad-
mirable company are Dan Waldron, Geo.
F. Hall, Phil Peters, Emerson and EN-

Senator DAILY. though a Democrat. also
has his little Chinese Wall bill. In his
exceedingly Objectionable Building and
Loan measure he propose to prevent for
eign associations from coming into this
State and taking money earned here into
other States.
Now, once again we ask, are we one
people, one nation, one country, or are
we a pack of semi-savage tribes warning
and proving on each other?
The clause abolishing minimum pre-
miums for loans is also objectionable.
If it passes. it will become possible for in
tending borrowers by combination to Sc
cure money at low rates. There is moth
ing usurious about the present system.
The premium is paid, not for the use of
the money, but for an advantage in
priority of loan. Besides, the. borrowers
themselves are large benificiaries in the
premiums, which at once go pro rata to
the reduction of their Indebtedness by
enhancing the value of their shares.
The clause limiting loans to security
upon houses is also highly Objectionable.
It limits the usefulness of the a~ssocia-
tions without material increase of their
safety.

THE Trolley License A bsurdity.

The ordinance passed by the Board of
Aldermen on Tuesday evening respecting
the license of trolleymen belongs to a
peculiarly vicious class of legislation. It
is designed for no purpose in the world
save and except that of giving the en-
~warrantable advantage in case of a dis
pute over wages or hours of work. There
is no conceivable good purpose served in
issuing such licenses-absolutely none.
There is not even q pretence of a public
purpose in the preamble to it. 1t inn
pudently and unbIushingly parades its
private and demagogical purpose of pro-
tecting the employees in their relations
with their employers.
There is no more justice or common
sense in this than there would be in an
ordinance to license butchers or dry
goods statesmen or printers. 1t is, a
shameful and outrageous interference
with private business and private rights.
1t is probably on the strength of its own
preamble utterly illegal and Intellectual.
II thore were some pretence that public
safety or public utility were advanced
by it, then the Aldermen might be COM
petent to pass II. But there is no such
pretence. Here is the motive set forth in
the instrument itself:-

Ex-JUDGE RoDERICK B. sEY-

tract to a vote of the Board of Aldermen
Is very bad. 1t has 40 purpose whatso-

in a position to make something out of
it, if there is anything in it. 1t should
be entitled a bill for the promotion of
strikes. There is no more reason why
the Aldermen should vote on a water
contract than any other contract. The
trouble is there are too many cooks look
ing after the water business already.

The American Bar Association Convenes
at Detroit, Mich-Many Eminent Jur-
lists PreSeno.
DETROIT, Aug. 2s.-The American
Bar association convened in its eigh-
teenth annual session il the Y. NJ. G. A.
building yesterday. The hall was
crowded with delegates and members
of the local bar. Among those who oc-
cupied the platform were Justices
Brewer and Brown, of the United
States supreme court, and Justice w.
II. Taft, of the United States circuit
court James C. Carter, the president
of the association called the session to
order and read his annual address. In
the course of his speech he said:
Take the great question of taxation 1t is
amazing to think that enlightened states,
Astounding in productive wealth which would
easily afford an ample revenue II properly
tapped should insist on retaining an intricate
system of taxation even after it has proved TO
be abortive for its ayowed objects. And yet
this Is what Is everywhere exhibited
1t seems incomprehcnSible that people
could deliberately adopt policy that fosters
the increase of crime contempt for the laws
and the debasement Of character. In some COM
munities, notably in the city Of New York. the
impossibility of general and equal enforce
ment of the laws and the revolving injustice OF
partial effort, have had the effect Of leading
the executive officers to wholly abandon any
serious attempt at rigid enforcement And
yet these worse than useless results Of legisla-
tive action seem nowhere to lead TO any serious
inquiry into the real nature Of the difficulty.
The report of the executive commit
tee was to the effect that twenty-sevcn
new members had been admitted to
the association during the past year.
The secretary read list of nomina-
tions for membership in the association
which had been passed by the general
council. There were 1913 names in the
list, 81 of whom were from Michigan.
The secretary was instructed to cast
one ballot and all were declared elect
ed. Among those elected from Michi-
gan was Henry L. Thurber, private
secretary to President Cleveland. The
general council was then elected. The
secretarys report showed that the as
sociation has LII members, exclusive
of those elected yesterday. The treas
urer's report showed a balance on hand
of S., ZOO, an increase of $500 over last
! year.
| Last night at the Y. NJ. c. A. hall,
the Michigan and Detroit bar extended
formal welcome to the association.
In the absence of President George v.
Lothrop, eX-minister to Russia, who is
in feeble health, Hon. Don NJ. Dickin-
son made the address of welcome.
