inferior to the quiet unobserving young
man, who silently -plods along instead
of telling all he knows, keeps it to him
self, and is constantly adding to his

graceful remarks in his own scholarly
way. So, too, did Judge Hoffman, who
talked to the leaders as he does to the
Jury, and for the moment forgot the great
difference between an intelligent box
and the leaders of HudSon's G. O. p.
Notwithstanding the wit and humor of
Messrs. Blair and Fuller, meant, of course
to dispel the gloom, the repast was of a
very funereai character, and there was
reference to the past Democratic sweep.

dent Washington at last has taken more
definite form than in the past and a NUM-
Der of representative American women
have taken hold of the project with a de-
termination to push it to a successful
conclusion if possible. They have started
out in a practical manner by seeking to
raise the first $25o, GOO necessary for the
erection of an administration building to-
form the nucleus of the university and
hope to be able to lay the corner stone on
February %, 1898. Their purpose in the
interim is to urge the matter continuously
on the attention of women all over the
country. They intend likewise to interest
all school children in the work. AS a
first step for awaking interest in the un-
dertaking they will assemble in conven-
ton in Washington on December IA to
decide on ways and means for %arousing
public sentiment.

movement to fulfill Washington's wish

Mrs. Ellen A. Richardson of Boston, Mrs.
Clara R Anthony. Miss Rachel Rowland,

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News
TRENTON, Nov. 16, 1S97.-Former Sena-
tor William D. Edwards, counsel for the
race-track people. who are fighting the
anti-gambling amendment, sprang a sur
prise yesterday afternoon when he APP
piled to Justices Van Syckle, Dixon and
Collins for a rule to show cause why a
mandamus should not issue directing the
election officers of about 800 election dis
tricts in the State, compelling a recount
Of the vote cast at the special election
of Sept. %.
The Court Of Errors and Appeals had
just finished its labors for the day when
Senator Edwards made the application.
He presented to the court a petition sign
ed by a number of citizens. setting out
that the signers We're voters who believed
that the amendment was beaten, etc. He
also presented to the court an afidavit of
his own, in which he sets out the rea-
sons why he believes the amendment to
rave been beaten.
Senator Edwards explained to the
court that he had made considerable in
ve~stigation of the matter and he had dis
covered that of the 961 ballots rejected, a
majority, if not all of them, were rejected
for various reasons which did not justify
such action. In some instances the bal
lots were thrown out because the cross
was a single cross for the three amend
ments instead of three crosses; in other
cases the cross was made on the margin
instead of across the words; in other
cases the crosses were not made by black
ink or pencil, and in other cases the
crosses were vide marks instead of single
marks. Then there were other ballots
which had marks on them, such as
against" etc.
Finally, Senator Edwards said, there
were cases where the word For in the
Introductory line was crossed out and the
amendment itself was left uncrossed. All
of these, he assumed, showed the intent
of the voter to vote against the amend
ment.
Justice Van Syckle asked how Mr.. Ed
wards proposed getting over the provision
in the law which provided that the 10Y
er1ior issue a proclamation making the
amendment a portion of the Constitution,
after the State Canvassing Board had
made it's examination and report.
Justice Dixon came to Senator Ed
wards rescue, saying that the latter's
contention was that the Constitution itself
provided that the amendments TO be
adopted must be voted for by a majority
of the voters voting. n that the Leglsla-
ture had no power to pass any law which
would have the effect of destroying his
provision to the Constitution.
The matter was laid over until his
morning, when it will be given a further
hearing. In the meanwhile Attorney
General Grey has been apprised OF the
fact that the matter will come on in case
he wishes to make any opposition on the
part Of the State Board of Canvassers.

:. Frank Hill, a manufacturing jeweller

minutes past nine o'clock this morning

Mr.. Hill had been ailing some time. but

arose. He leaves a widow. He

gestion was left for a veto. Why was II
not made in conference SO that the speci-
fcations might have been freed from it
before reaching the present advanced
stage? This, it appears to us, is mex
plicable on any reasonable grounds.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1897-11-16

WE hin that Mayor Hooss condenana-
ton Of Specification b is altogether a
mistake. The specification, is a very good
one. It is not a just assumption that
the city will need more than 100000
gallons of-water per diem in ten years.
Indeed there is no hope of anything so
fortunate. We doubt If the demand will
reach that volume in twenty years. 1t
certainly will not if the spirit of obstruc-
ton to progress prevails.
There are other passages in the veto
which are at least as much open to-
criticism as the specifications are. For
instance, the restriction of the source of
supply to one wholly within the State"
would, we believe, absolutely restrict the
competition to a single stream. The OBJ
lection to the provision for the compile
ton of unfinished work by the city is
not wholly intelligible. If it were not in
serted in the contract, how would the city
deal with a failure on the part of con-
tractors to carry out their agreement?
But enough of this. The veto will be
pretty thoroughly dissected as time rolls
on. Just now we desire TO indicate a
portion Of the veto which seems to be
sound and reasonable. It is thfs:
