PERSONAL.

Assemblyman John w. Queen and Mr..
Henry v. Condict received a hattering COM
pliment from the Board of Trade. at the
meeting last night. Mr.. Joseph "A. Dear, in
referring to the subject of Equal Taxation,
said that to these gentlemen was due a great
amount of praise for their earnest and per-
sistent efforts to advance the bill introduced
to @ successful result. Mr.. Dear'S praise was
echoed by the members.
President Andrew ]. Corcoran Of the Board
of Trade, while not superstitious, is beginning
to view the number 10 with suspicion. He
Gently with the. water officials, and on Feb-
ruary 13 he was elected a member Of the
Palma Club. On the same day he received an
order for 10 windmills and to wind it all
up he is a prominent member Of the Thir-
teenth Street Improvement Association.
Mr.. Myron ]. Furst sharply criticized the
absence of public sentiment towards the Har-
rison and Kearny Annexation bill last night
at the Board of Trade meeting. While the
annexationists go down with special cars,
jammed with hirelings, loaded with badges,
cigars and whiskey, he said, the Hudson tax
paying people most Interested stay at home.
Ex-Fire Commissioner William Kern COM
plains that not a penny's worth Of improve
ments have been done in the Fourth district,
notwithstanding the pledges Of a certain Re-
publican member of the Board of Works.
Mr.. Edward Barr. of the firm of Barr &
cratic candidate from the Seventh ward for
Alderman. No better choice could be mades
He is extremely popular, a genial, clear
headed, straightforward man, with an lex-
traordinary appetite for business. Should he
be elected, and there is no reason under the
sun why he should not. Greenville people may
rest assured that its interests will be well
looked after. He Is President of the Green
vile Rifle Club, a stakeholder in the Green
Vile Bank and is a large property owner.

The State Gazette has another anus
Ing spasm over Assemblyman NBauer's
MISUNDERSTANDING bill. It says
The work of restricting street railway
companies in the matter of fares docs
ros belong TO the State: it is a duty CT
IN cipalities and counties in which
TIE ra.lways are operated. and the House
sszrla mob have passed the bill.
N1S1 Hudson County brings such
a disgusting acknowledgment of incom-
Ts-cy and inability to manage its wv
aT2irs. and such a weakness should re-
cesye 70 sympathy from that body.
20 as n.nity of these remarks would
e~sssarage an Editor from any place but
Rel Oak. Iowa. ard Fargo North Da-
Eate. Anyone else would perceive that
cae municipality can have no jurlsdic-
tf5a over the fare to be charged in an
otssr, and that the County Government
has 20 powers whatever in the premises.
Thus, Haboken can say to the North
Hu1son Traction Company. "You shall
only charge five cents within the city
Ila..s;" but how can it say. You shall
carry passengers through Union Hill for
the same fare" II is absurd on its face.
The Board of Freeholders. the only
body having some authority in all parts
Of h county, has no power whatever
over the traction companies.
Taere is only one way in the world to
reach the desired result. This is by
legislative enactment.

years. The b%anquetting hall was
crowded with ladies and gentlemen who
thoroughly enjoyed a NEST excellent pro-
gramme. V1ce-Commodore John len

ment, and managed things with the skill
of an improyisatore. He was hic ct
ubique, but particularly ssubique" in a

the distinguished guests and .'other
