Guile Of dsreenYIlIe RepuhIEcans.

Attached to the Hudson County League
of Republican Clubs is an Appeals Com
mittee, whose findings resemble the ways
of Providence, only in one thing: they
are past finding out. On every occasion
presented to distinguish themselves they
instantly seize it, as witness the follow
ing story told at the Minkakwa Club
last night by Mr.. Winfield c. Dunn, who
made a report on the case of the Green
vile League Club
Charges were preferred against cer-
tain soidisant Republicans for putting
ar independent ticket in the field last
spring, when an individual named Ben
nett was elected to the high office of
constable from the Seventh ward. This
wonderful and neYer-suffi cfently-to-be-
admired Appeals Committee took hold
of the matter and after deep deliberation
censured Bennett, but didn't say a word
about those who signed his petition.
'9Tha reminds me-" sareastically added
Mr.. Byrne, one of the Minks, after Mr..
Dunn had finished his report sof the
judgment in the famous Mordaunt cause"
(Daughter.)

STOCKTON, June 9, 1S96.-The colored
people of this town held an indignation
meeting in the Hosanna A. NJ. E. Church
last night to express their sentiments
against the action of the Board of Edu-

and removing the colored children who
had been receiving instruction.
They declared that their reverence for
Octavius. Cato, one of the first martyrs
to give his life for the Union and after
whom the school was named, was too
great to yield precedence even to such a
hero as General Grant. Resolutions to tina,

Education was asked to reconsider its
action in the matter. The committee ap-

COL. PHELPS TRUST PAPERS

(From the New York WORLD of Today.)
The railroad companies are all foreign
corporations. Not 2 per cent. of their
stock and bonds are owned by Jerseymen.
They would not come to Hudson county
nor cross the State of New Jersey If
they could reach tide water on New York
Bay by any other route. They are not
entitled to tax exemption at the expense
of Jersey City. They have tax exemption
at the expense of the whole State. Taken
as a whole they do not pay more than
one-third as much taxes as are paid by
individual owners of property of equal
rated value.
The inequality of taxation in the whole
State is a detriment not only to Jersey
City and Hudson county, which is the
focal point of all lines, but to every piece
of property in the whole State, no matter
where it is located.-Jersey City Jour
mall"
That's exactly right, Col. Phelps; but
why do you claim the reverse in your

LAWYERS IN A LIVELY TILT.
Friends Have So Far Prevented Any
thing Worse Than GIareg.
7}ccfat Inc JERSEY "

CAMDEN, June 8, 1Ss6.-Ex-Judge How
ard Carrow ard Lawyer Samuel Sparks
had an opera bouffe tilt in Vice Cham
cellor Reeds Court yesterday. AS the
two are about evenly matched as to
a~voirdupois there is no telling what may
result from the hot words dropped by
Sparks. So far friends have prevented
anything more serious than glazing looks.
The tilt came over the suit of How
ard NJ. Kirkbride against David e. Hum
phreys, a dispute over the title of some
property in Stockton. The case had hung
fire for months and ex-Judge Carlow, as
counsel for the defendant, moved for its
dismissal, on the ground that 1t mad not
been moved to trial after customary mo-
tice. Lawyer Sparks, representing the
plaintiff, raised the technical point that
the decree had been opened conditionally
that the costs would be paid and he said
they had not yet been paid. He then
argued that aside from this fact he had
discovered tina the property had been
disposed of by Kirkbride under the de-
cree to a man named Livergood, of Phil
adelphia, two weeks before the decree
was opened, and therefore there was no
one in Court d his side of the case
now.
Suppose you notify L~ivergood,'' sug-
gested the Vice Chancellor, that the
decree has been opened, as he might de-
sire to become a party to the suit"
Il do not know Livergood," said
Sparks, .sand l can't solicit clients
ssOh, why don't you tell the Court that
you Were in conversation with the man
and his counsel only half an hour ago?"
interposed ex-Judge Carrow.
Because ! would not lie to this Court
if you would" holly retorted the fierce
and rudy Sparks.
Vice Chancellor Reed vigorously called
the lawyers to order before any dam
age was done and prevented any further
outbreaks.
