ton. Neither of these things could be
done without injuring in equal degree the
Republican sherir-elect of Essex. No law
could be passed by the Legislature which
would alter the situation in Hudson with

Now, Essex will not stand any such in
reference. The Essex delegation at Tren-

sons, and it may be discovered that even
Hudson's will not be very enthusiastic for
any change. There will be found strong

PAY FOR NO WORK


- z
Corporation Counsel Blair has been asked
by the Board of Finance to decide
whether or not William H. Browning is a
legally appointed clerk to the City Clerk.
A week or so after Jarvis Wanser died,
the Board of Fiance appointed Brown
ing his successor. City Clerk O'Donnnell
refused to recognize the new appointee
and would not allow him to do any work.
Browning has reported for duty every
morning and departed without doing any
thing.
Two weeks ago, Martin Finck, clerk
of the Board of Finance, served a copy
of a resolution on the City Clerk directing
him to draw a warrant for Browning,s
salary for September. Last night the
City Clerk sent a letter to the Board of
Finance informing the members that
Browning had done no work, and assum-
ing that they were aware of that fact
when they ordered his salary paid.
Corporation Couns Blair has already
told the Board of Finance that the law
gives the City Clerk no power to fill
opposite contention. Mr.. Blair says that
the law on which the City Clerk bases his
opinion says that the City Clerk shall
have the right to nominate a clerk in the
event of an increase in the clerical force
of his Office, such nomination to be ap-
proved by the Board of Finance. The
appointment of a successor to a clerk
is not an increase, it is held by Mr..
Blair, and as a consequence the appoint
ment belongs to the Board of Finance.
An official opinion will be submitted to
the Board of Finance at its next meet

SPANS FOE IN THE FAR EAST.
Reason for Believing the Philippine
Revolt TO BE a Grave Event.

The instruction in the Philippines may
prove even a greater blow to Spain than
the insu-rection in Cuba. They are twice
as far off, they nave never been thorough
ly subdued, far less civilized; they con-
tain tribes which have often fought des-
perately against Spanish disagreement,
and they are threatened by a foe, who,
though not as strong as the United States.
is probably stronger at sea thar Spain,
who is far more interruptions than the
Union, and who, instead of any languid
desire that the Philippines should be free,
hes a passionate desire for their posses
sion.
The Japanese believe that they must
ind fresh territory somewhere or their
civilization will perish for want of land
to upport their growing population, and
as they have lost Corea and cannot obtain
Australia, which, according to their jim
goes, is their natural place of expansion,
they have fixed their regard on the Philip
pines, which lie, as 1t were, in sight,
which are thinly populated, which are
~gloriously fertile, though liable, like Japan
itself, to earthquakes, and the area of
which, if a conquest could once be effect
ed, would almost exactly double the area
of the island empire.
They possess already in Formosa the
halfway house to the Philippines, and they
the Spaniards. They have of late years
been quietly pouring Japanese emigrantS
into some of the Islands, and there is
trustworthy authority for the statement
hat recently, at Moscow, Marshal Yama-
gaia assured American Representatives of
the adhesion of Japan in any war with
Spain. adding that his Government would
cheerfully expend f40,0O0.000 to secure such
an acquisition.
With the japanese on fire at what they
consider their unjust and humiliating ex-
pusion from Corea, with the Executive
of Toxic dreading the radical tone of Par
lament. n with Marquis Ito defeated
because he is not sufficiently Chauvinist,
we cannot but regard this danger as a
most serious one for Spain.-Spectator.

TWO view. Of Pensions.

pension relief. but there is no room for
doubt as to pensions" writes ex-Presi-

article. Eleven dollars a month for war
service implies, at least. relief IN case of
wounds or sickness for the soldier. and
that the public will care for his widow

p.liage prevailed it was otherwise; and
when our rich men take to lighting our
wars we can abolish the pension system,

Equal Taxation Commissioners to BE
Taken Cruising AIsng our Waterfront

The Equal Taxation Commission will
be shown the city's water front tomorrow
afternoon by the city officials. The
Board of Finance last night authorized
City Attorney Weart to hire a tug for
the trip. A start will be made from the
Adams Express pier at one o'clock. In ad-
dition to the Equal Taxation Commission
there will be the Mayor, Board of Finance
Counsellor William D. Edwards, the city's
law officers, and the Street and Water
Board in the party.
The Taxation Commissioners will be
shown the water front from the Hoboken
line down to Bergen Point. They will also
be informed as to what companies &C.
upy the land. In all the stretch to be
viewed attention will be drawn to the
fact that Jersey City has possession of
only two small pieces, the foot of Nor
gan street and the foot of Morris street.
The party will take a trip up the Gap,
as far as practicable in order to see as
much as possible of the South Cove
grant.
1t is expected that the trip will result
heneficiaily to the city.

The occupants did not notice the fumes
during the excitement, but fortunately
Search was carried into adjoining apart

summoned, discovered the deadly gas.
1t was thought they were suffering from
poisoning. The gas was noticed by Miss

REPR0VED THE BURGLAR.
Mrs. TimbreH Awskes to Find
Thief in Her Room.

SOMERVILLE, Nov. s, 1S96.-A bold rob-
berry which has not yet been put down
on the blotter of the Raritan Police De-
partment, owing to the prominence of the
people concerned. took place at the resi-
dence of Rev. ]. Fl. Timbrell about three
O'Clock Sunday morning. Rev. Mr.. Tim
brell is the pastor of the Raritan Metho-
dist Church.
Mrs. TimbreIl prides herself on her
ability to act with GOODNESS and delfbera-
ton at times when most women faint
with fright. When Mrs. TimbrelI awoke
early Sunday morning and found a
masked burglar rummaging the bureau
in her room she did not ever scream.
Are you not aware. sir, that you have
made a mistake and are in a minister's
house?" demanded she of the burglar,
without moving from her couch. The
startled thief dropped his plumber on
hearing this calm Interrogation.
Keep quiet or l viii kill you,s he
said, making a threatening gesture with
his revolver at Mrs. Timbrell. Rev. Mr..
Timbrell was now aroused. and rolling
over in the bed, nudged his wife and said:
My dear. stop talking in your sleep
Talking in my sleep am T? John, do
you see that burglar over there?n
'Burglar?'' shrseked the parson, half
springing from the bed. ssWhere?,
AT this instant the minister's heavy
eyes looked straight into the glare of a
lantern by the side of which CLEANED
a murderous looking revolver.
Keep quiet and lie down before this
thing goes off," commanded the burglar.
Mr.. Timbrell reclined on his pillow and
the burglar continued his work at. the
bureau. Really there is no use in dis
ordering my things ike that; you will
find nothing of great value in the house"
demonstrated Mr.. Timbrell. ducking his
head as the robber made another threat
ening move with his revolver toward the
bed.
At this juncture Mrs. TimbrelPs sister.
who slept in a bedroom across the hall.
was aroused and. realizing her sisters
peril, shut the hall door with great force
to alarm the burglar.
This had the desired effect. The thief
fell over a trunk and rushed downstairs.
Rev. Mr.. Timbrell gave chase and fol-
lowed him to the back yard fence, where
he disappeared. The thief took with him
Mr.. Timbrelrs new overcoat, q tray OF
jewelry and a mail amount of money.
