goods in quantity under the present
schedules. so as to circumvent the new
tariff at least for a year Or SO. In this
purpose it will probably be successful.
Nobody seems to think the Dingley
monstrosity will get through the Senate
before June. Some of the Senator's say
there is no question of amending it; it
must practically be rewritten. In a word.
it is the Wilson circus all over again.
The Senators will so change the bill that
the very man who conceived it will not
recognize its features when he sees them.
The people have little to fear from the
changes in the Senate. They cannot be
worse than the original. Indeed any
alteration from the present draft must
be for the better.

The decision of the Supreme Court yes
terday in the election daw dispute was
somewhat Of an enigma to most people,
and 1t Is probable that a very large
majority of those who read the decision
were unable to understand whether Cur not
an election will have to be held this
spring. The force of the decision is as
follows:
The argument before the Supreme Court
was based upon an application for a
m~andannus to compel the City Clerk to
accept the nomination of the Democratic
candidate for Mayor. The Supreme Court
decided that the election law upon the
point at issue is clear and the writ of
mandanus was granted. City Clerk
O'DonneH will now have to accept the
certificates and print the ballots for the
election, but this does not necessarily
mean that an election win be held, as a
writ of error may be taken to the Court
of Errors and Appeals, and the conJtitu-
taonality Of the Macarthur act there
determined.
Another way is also opened to de-
termine the constitutfonalty of the act.
The counsel for the opposing sides may
agree, in accordance with The provision
made by the Supreme Court in its
decision yesterday, to place the case in
such form at the hearing tomorrow that
the question of its constftutionalfty may
be settled at this term of the court. 1t
Us probable that this latter course of action
will be taken by counsel of the oppos-
ing sides.
The decision rendered is a disappoint-
ment all around. because there is no one
interested beyond the real issue of the
constftutionaHlty of the new law. The
court has given no inkling of its opinion
on that point, although it was completely
u-SCuSS9u l6A SdIufUdy ny cUulSSi Ou
both fdes. The hearing ordered for to-
morrow will merely result in repeating
the arguments already made. They will
simply be wound around another point
Technically the court was justified in
avoiding the desired decision, but prac-
tieally it is a serious delay, and VIII
result in driving us to incur a large part
of the expenses we were seeking to avoid
by consolidated elections. The prepaaa-
lions must continue until the courts have
finished with the case.
It may also prolong the session of the
Legislature, as the Republicans are
determined, If the court decides that the
present act Us unconstitutional, to suspend
the rules and rush through a bill to
meet the objections. For this reason, the
House may remain in session until the
matter IS disposed of.

FURST BROS EASTER STYLES.
Splendid Collection Exhibited a
V~esterdav,s Opening.

With the approach of Easter comes the
ever increasing demand for fancy spring
hats and bonnets and the numerous other
novelties for summer wear.
In the large show windows and show
cases of Messrs. Furst Bros store the
display of these articles has been made a
special feature. Gorgeous colorings,
beautiful ribbons. flowers and new crea-
lions in fancy headgear mark the advent
of summer The store has been appro-
priately decorated with potted plans and
on every side one can see c~oraplete assort-
ments of summer goods.
Yesterday was the opening day for the
display of Easter styles. All day long,
from the time the store opened until it
closed, crowds of visitors were received.
For the special entertainment of patrons
Messrs. Furst Bros. have engaged Prof.
Charles H. r. Miller, who will give piano
recitals in the millinery department,
commencing at two o'clock every after
noon. Prof Miller comes from Cam
bridge, Mass, and is a most accomplished
artist.
The millinery department has been en-
tirely refitted for the Easter array and is
by far the most elaborate. New furniture
has been added and the large oak show
cases are filled with Easter hats and pom
nets in all shapes, sizes and colors. Among
them is a display of walking hats which
are strictly up to date. One of these IS
in blended brown and green, trimmed
with chiffon and aigrettes. There is also
a creation of Madame Virot of Paris.
This is in black gauze with chiffon and
mousseline de sole and is further embel-
lished by black ostrich plurnes- An as
sortment of prevailing shapes in red Is
also to be seen. Some are gorgeous in
getanium pink, with high bell crowns and
ribbons in various soft tints. A very
striking hat is made up with Batavia
silk and violets. which have become a fad
OF the season. Purple seems to be a very
desirable color. A bell crown hat adorned
with lilies of the valley has a very pretty
effect.
The display of bonnets Is large and
varied. There are some trimmed with
natural berries which are very becoming.
Many shapes are among the selections.
In another department is a large as
sortment of waists, cloaks n skirts in
all shades. Many of the waists are in
taffeta and Indian silks and satins. There
are fancy dinlities and percales also.
The parasol display IN the first floor
is not to be forgotten among the attrac-
tons. The Darasols are in all colors and
standings, with enameled sticks of natural
wood co1ored to match. A particularly
attractive one is in geranium pink.
Others are in lavender, Nile green, white
n other pretty shades.
The counters all through the store lave
been ~replenished with a lev stock of
spring goods, which are at more reason
able prices thar. they can be purchased
opportunity 10 purchasers and Jersey
City people, will lave no occasion to cross
the ferry or goods that can be purchased
at such favorable prices near at home.
