THE GOVERNORS LIST
More Candidates Made Happy
by Having Their Names
Announced.
Special to the Jcrscy ctr Ns,ps.

TRENTON, Feb. 10, 1896.-Joseph D.
Bedle and Roderick B. Seymour were
confirmed as District Court Judges of
Jersey City this morning.
TIL Governor disposed of two more
contests for District Court Judge this
morning by naming John Relstab for
Trenton and w. D. v. Joline to be Judge
in Camden. He r~eappoints Caroline B
Alexander and Ann l.. Gill to be man
ayers OF the Home for Feeble-Minded at
Vineland.
The Governor set tongues wagging
today when he sent another big
batch of appointments to the Senate.
Most Of the talk was over the manner
in which they disposed of the doughty
Major Carl LEM of Newark. Lenz, it
will be remembered. before the nomina-
tions last summer, declared that Griggs
could not be elected. The Germans, he
said, were against him on account of
his record on the temperance question.
After the convention, however, he stood
faithfully by the ticket, and when Griggs
was elected he and his friends thought
that any office in the gift of the Gov
ernor was not any too good for the Ma
jor. and he concluded that the Clerk
ship OF the Supreme Court would about
suit him. He made his conclusion known
to the Governor. and was very much
surprised to learn that the Governors
idea OF his services were by no means
commensurate with his own. and that
in the opinion of Mr.. Griggs a position
on the State Board of Taxation at $4,000
O. year would be about the Majors size.
Major Lenz held out some time. but at
last, realizing that was about the best
he could do, he finally consented to
take what he could get, and his name
went in. Mr.. Stephen j.. Meeker, who
was appointed a member of the state
Board Of Assessors, is a wealthy manu-
facturer Of Newark, and was President
of the New Jersey Commissioners to the
Chicago Fair. Robert. s. Green, son of
the late ex-governor n Vice ChanceIr
Tor Green, was also appointed a mem
Der of the State Board of Assessors.
He will succeed his friend, Oliver Kelly,
to succeed himself, but has been handi-
capped by his connection with Miles
Ross. In the sr-eappointment Of Charles
Board of Taxation the Governor paid a
scientious work while a member Of the
ives also appointed a member of the

NO HELP FOR Split MILK.

Milkman Andrews. of Perrine avenue,
was delivering his milk this morning,
about eight O'Clock. on Montgomery
street, just below the Boulevard. This
part Of the street is in such a poor con-
dition that the only place for a wagon is
on the car track. Andrews left his RIG
standing on the east bound track while
he entered a house to leave the mornings

the Consolidated Traction Company came
up Montgomery street and struck the
wagon. The horse, affrighted. started

President A. H. Abernethy. of the Board

what is responsible for the prevalence of
typhoid fever in certain parts of the city.
In the Greenviile section the disease for
several weeks has been epidemic. The
attending physicians We're puzzled. but

families were using well water. sug-
gested that the water be analysed. The
suggestion was adopted and @ well in
the home of Mrs. Hiber. at No. Lose Ber-
gen avenue. which for years has been
used by many residents of the neighbor-
hood, was inspected.
A sample Of the water was taken and
given TO Chemist Stuckenberg. OF the
american Sugar Refining Company for
analysis. His searches revealed such
a startling condition of affairs thai Presi-
dent Abernethy sent this note to Health

Bryanite Omens.

The results of the Southern elections
are not as cheerful for the Popocratic
cause as the Bryanites pretend to find
them. The Florida Democratic ticket
wins, according to the latest returns, by
less than 1900, whereas the silver lead
ers confidently reckoned on from q, 900 to
25,00o majority. In Georgia, there is a
deadly falling off in the panty's strength,
though the opposition was of the weakest
kind. 1t is probable that the Democratic
ticket will not win by over 5000. How
desperate a loss this is may best be
judged from the fact that Cleveland's
plurality in 1883 was (. oo3, and in 1892 was
s1,O56.
The ~silverite papers are trying to gall
vanize the cause into new hope by glow
ing accounts of Bryan's reception in
Indiana All there is in his is that Indi-
ana was a doubtful State and will still
bear working and watching. The crowds
that flock to hear Mr.. Bryan are, like
that which attended the Academy meet
ing here, largely made up of Republicans
gold Democrats who gather out Of

P0PULISTS AND FEDERAL JUDGES
Strong Reasons for a Change Re-
gardfng the Judiciary.

The Federal Judges must be made
elective and for a term of years. When
the Federal Constitution was adopted in
none of the States were the Judges elected
by the people. and It would therefore have
been strange if they had been made so in
that instrument Now, in nearly every
State the Judges hay been made elective
by the people, and it is strange thai the
Federal Judges should not be made cleo
tive in the same node. Indeed, for
stronger reasons than lave caused the
States to make their Judges elective,
should the same change be adopted as
to the Federal Judges. Many Of them APP
pointed by corporate influences and all
holding their positions for life, and thrown
in constant contact with the courtesies
extended to them by the wealthier classes,
the Federal Judges are under no obliga-
tons to the people and under every obli-
cation to the classes. While there are
honorable exceptions. it is known to all
men that the Feneral bench is the strong
hold Of h money power. That power
may be dislodged from the House and
Senate. even from the Presidency, but the
care it has shown in procuring the APP
pointment Of Judges, naturally biased by
their experience as corporation lawyers,
OF py the nnuenceS exerted for their APP
pointment, n the life tenure of their
offices, secure the money power in its
intrenchments in the judiciary. This
power that branch of the government
claims in increasing extent TO nullfy acts
Of the other two branches OF govern
ment is making it essential that the
masses shall obtain a guarantee of their
victory by making this branch of the
government dependent upon their SOW
ereignty. The government by injunction
and the late reversal of one hundred
@ arcr 1rnhrolnn 1aatz4n~a -
emption from taxation to the millionaire
element, have rudely broker public con-
adence IN the Federal Judiciary and neces-
by making the tenure of judicial office
for a term instead of for life, and the
office itself elective instead of appointive.
who claim the power to abregate legis-
lative acts and to restrain executive ac-
