ECONOMY BEGINS Al HOME

In an interview printed in to-days 'Sun,"
Edward w. Woolley, City Clerk and Chair
man of the Republican County Committee,
seeks to defend his attempt to disfranchise
the voters of Jersey City on the ground of
saving money for the city. Mr.. Woolley's
policy of economy is good one, and, like
charity, should begin at home. We will aid
Mr. Woolley, should modesty prevent his in
PRODUCING the subject and promise him that
among the first bills introduced into the
Legislature this winter will be one to reduce
the salary of his office to $500 a year, and
turn into the City Treasury all the extra
fees and emoluments he now enjoys. Mr..
Woolley is now the most expensive official
the city maintains. His salary is $1,000 per
year, and the search fees and payment for
election services increase it to $4,000. The
searches, by the way, are performed by two
clerks who are paid by the city. Mr..
Woolley is an economical individual but a
costly official He will be assisted in making
a personal application of his economy. 1t
will be in the line of the Republican policy.

TEMPORARY SUPPLY
DELAYED.

Justice Jippincott's decision in the
water question has resulted in stopping
all action in regards to the temporary
supply for which a contract was awarded
to the East Jersey Water Company.
The City's law officers have been busy
since Mayor Wanser's return from the
South, preparing the contract, and it
was expected that the papers would be
signed some time this week.
Saturdays decision, however, has
caused the Corporation Counsel to stop
all proceedings. and it is difficult to say
when the contract will be signed. Cor
poration Counsel Blair said this morning
that he would do nothing further in the
matter until the question: of the constitu-
tionality of the action of the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners was
fully determined.

Under color Of quarrel as to authority be-
tween John G. Fisher, County Clerk (REpUB-
LlCAND, and Edward w. Woolley, City Clerk,
CHAIRMAN of the REPUBLICAN COUNTY
COMMITTED for the first time in twenty-five
years, the voters of Jersey City are deprived Of
published information as to the boundaries of
the Election Precincts in which they live.
The object is to DIsFRANCHIsE VOTERS
and deprive A. T.. McGill Of the old-time Demo
cratic majority in Hudson County.
This year the Republican Legislature re-
pealed the law for house to house canvass,
and made personal registration a legal neces-
sity for every voter.
This year the Republican, Board of Alder
men SO gerrymandered the wards and pre-
cincts in this city that even expert politicians
have to study the map to determine where they
are located.
And this is the year that the Republican
City Clerk and Chairman of the Republican
County Committee selects to organize theatri-
cal quarrel with his fellow politician. the Re-
publican County Clerk, to exclude from the
GO Registry Notice. all information calculated
to aid citizens in exercising their right of vot-
ing for Governor of the State, and this is the
first year in a quarter of century that this in
formation has been omitted.

AND THE LAMENTED
JOHN E. SCOTT.
From Today's New York Herald. )

CFrom Today's New York "Herald.'')
This reference to registration calls to
mind the queer looking complications
that have arisen between the bunptious
Mr.. Woolley, City Clerk of Jersey City,
and John G. Fisher, the Clerk of Hud-
son County. 1t is the duty Of the Coun-
ty Clerk to give public notice of the
days for registration; and 1T has been
the custom for the City Clerk to supple
ment the notice with other notices de-
ffning the precinct lines and designating
the particular places of registry. County
Clerk Fisher has published the notices
which ne was required to publish. but
the bTnptious City Clerk Woolley has
failed to perform his part. He declares
that it is no part of his duty to bound
the precincts and name the registration
places for the information of voters. ahis
view of his duties were originally a leg
al conclusion of the bl1rnptious Woolley
himself, who, by the way, qualified him
self as a legal hairsplitter, by selling
safes in lower Broadway. in New York;
and Corporation Attorney Blair is said
to have sustained him with an Official
opinion Among the other lawyers in the
city. however, it seems to be agreed that
the law requires the City Clerk to pub
lish the second notices; and the late
City Clerk Scott, than whom no lawyer in
the State was more thoroughly posted ON
municipal law, never failed during his
twenty-six years of service in the posi-
tion which Woolley unhappily holds now
to send the notices out to the newspapers
for publication
The law requires, so it is commended.
that the notices shall be published three
times in advance of the first day of regis
istratton. Tomorrow will be the first day
of registration. But up to last night the
notices had not appeared 1t may be a
question whether the failure to publish
them may not vitiate the entire vote of
Jersey city and disfranchise every voter
