A Jefferson County Candidata.

1t is by no means certain that III.
{. Adams will be re-appointed dairy
and food commissioner by Governor
Scofeld. With this condition of af-
fairs In mind the friends of A. J.
Roach, OF Waterloo, have brought
him forward as a candidate for the
position and he now appears before
the people as Jefferson county's rep
resentative for a gubernatorial ap-
pointment. The office of dairy and
food commissioner is one of grave
responsibility and of much import
ance to the people. That Mr.. Roach
is thoroughly fitted to assume it's
duties, those best acquainted with
him know to be certainty. He has
been engaged in business directly as
ISOLATED with dairy products since
1869, and is now at the head of one
OF the largest creamery and commits
sion houses in the state-the Roach
q Oeeoer company. OF which ne was
the founder. The company owns and
operates a dozen creameries in the
vicinity of Waterloo, and possesses
one of the finest cold storage concerns
in the West. Mr.. Roach has prac-
teal and extended experience in all
branches of the dairy and food indue-
tries, and in the event of his appoint
ment would bring suchripe knowledge
to the Office he seeks that would rem
der his service invaluable and highly
beneficial. Governor Scofeld, we
think, would make no mistake in the
selection of Mr.. Roach, and the peo-
pie O. Jefferson county-one Of the
foremost dairying districts of the
state-would be highly gratified over
his appointment, feeling that true
merit would be thus recognized.

AMUSEM ENTS.
Academy Of Music.

In the last act of the .'Man-o'-Wars-
man. the play in which Thomas e. Shea
is starring so successfully this season,
there is a very realistic naval battle. The
United States warship New Orleans and
the British Scorpion are plainly seen
fighting in the harbor OF Corinto. There
is the distant booming of cannon, the
smoke from the guns, the flashes of light
after every report and the disaster to the
rigging of both vessels. AS the fight pro-
eeeds, the New Orleans shows her SUI
periority. The mainmast of the Scorpion
topples over. A cannon ball pierces her
bow, and finally the English warship sinks
beneath the waves, while the excited
spectators cheer for the victorious New
Orleans. 1t is said that the perfection of
this sea engagement required a whole
summers work on the part of stage me-
chanical experts. No other play before
the public has a similar scene, and
wherever the "Man-o'-Warsman" has
been produced the verdict On the. naval
battle has been that it is one of the great
est novelties of the season. This city will
have IN opportunity of seeing the New
Orleans destroy the Scorpion on the stage
of the Academy of Music September 4.

SOUTH JERSEY POLITICS.
Burlington County FreehOlders Meet
and Discuss Various Subjects.

Especial to 1.-The Jersey City News."1
PALMYRA, Sept. 2, 1S97.-The regular
meeting of the Burlington ounty Board
of Freeholders was held at the County
House, New Lisbon, yesterday. This is
the annual meeting for politicians when
states are generally decided upon for the
fall election.
This year there is special interest, as a
Senator as well as Assemblyman and
other officers are to be elected. The Sen
ator will vote for the next United States
Senator, and there are five candidates for
the Office. Senator Parry wants to be
reelected, or have A~ssemblyman George
Wildes as his successor. Ex-Assembly-
man Matlack is working hard for the
nomination. Nathan Haines, of Burling-
ton, was a candidate, but has dropped
out since Governor Griggs has decided
not to be a candidate for United States
Senator. AS far as can be judged at this
time Assemblyman Joshua Barton has the
largest following.
Ex-Assemblyman Howard Packer, j.
Griggs and ex-senator M. Perkins are
talked of as the Democratic candidates.
There are only twenty-nine Freeholders
In this county, but about 200 men were in
attendance. The Junior Order of Ameri-
can Mechanics has been working up an
interest in the flag question, and they had
a resolution passed allowing them to put
up a pole and flag on the Court House or
grounds at their own expense.

A NEW YORK paper. which is aping
the sensationalism of the yellow rags"
advertises as a feature of its coming
Sunday issue, "Details of Secret Work
by the Government on New York's Har-
Dor Defense"
In any other country the publication of
such an article would send the editor to
several years of well merited imprison-
ment, while the entire edition of the un-
patriotic sheet would be suppressed. Our
own Government should certainly have
power to prevent the secrets of the Ma
tional defenses being thus made the
property Of our enemies abroad.
Perhaps the advertisement is only a
fake. The paper may intend only to
blk its buyers, as the yellow rags do
regularly every week. If this is the
scheme, there should equally be law to
suppress it.

Our attention has been directed TO this,
which recently appeared in the editorial
columns of the Evening Journal':-
when Mayor Hoos tries to explain his
charges against the Board of Finance
they seem to be narrowed down to a COM
plant that the city does not collect its
taxes with sufficient p~romptness, and h
he is not satisfied with the system pur-
sued by City Comptroller Hough, a Demo-
crat who has been in office under a num-
Der of administrations, republican ana
Democrat.
How mean, how cowardly, how utterly
base this is. To cheat a few nconsiderate
voters, this INSCRIPTIONS party organ
stoops to libel a most praiseworthy public
official, a%ttributing to him the blame,
which, IL it belong to anybody, falls upon
q Republican.
The person who wrote the above lines
knows that Comptroller Hough has ne
more to do with the collection of the tax
levy thar has Colonel Sheffield Phelps,
under whose name, though, of course.
falsehood is published. Mayor Hoos has
never said that he was not satisfied with
the system pursued by Comptroller
Hough. Mayor Hoos could not say any
thing so utterly foolish. If he did, the
Journal would rush to expose his
blunder. Mayor Hoos, however, did give
our Republican Collector of Taxes, Mr..
Simeon H. Smith, a very broad hint yes
terday that he was not satisfied with the
inertia of his office.
The journal repeats its truculent lie
in these words
He Mayor Hoos) has dealt a blow at
possessed, and now he says he did it in
order to secure a change in Comptroller
Hough's methods and to make the people
pay their taxes more promptly.
If Mayor Hoos has started a reform in
the collection Of taxes, so far from hurt
ing the city's credit, he has laid the first
stone of a solid foundation for it. For the
rest, we repeat Comptroller Hough has
no more to do with the collection of axe
or the system by which they are collected,
than Colonel Sheffield Phelps. Colonel
Phelps very well knows this, and so do
Messrs. Joseph A. Dear, C. ]. Benson and
Alexander Mclean, and all the other
members of the Journal conspiracy of
general mendacity.

TRENTON, Sept. 2, lSs7.-A brand new
phase has been injected into the canvass
for United States Senator by the an
nouncement that Colonel William Bar
bour, the millionaire silk manufacturer
of Paterson, is to be brought out as a
candidate. The Colonel is a member Of
Governor Griggs' staff, has never acid
any public Office, but he is anxious for
political honors, and nothing would please
better than a seat in the upper
branch OF the national legislative body.
He is close to the national as well as to
the State administration and did much
in securing the nomination of Vice Pres
idellt Hobart. 1t is reasonable to pre-
sumo, therefore, that he would ave he
hearty support of the Vice President in
his political aspirations.
Colonel Barbour could be depended up
If he entered the fight. He would have
as engineers of his campaign Hobart,
Griggs and Murphy, and the Griggs men
are enthusiastic over u a combina-
ton. With Barbour in the Senate and
Hobart in hi White House the greatest
ambition of Griggs-a seat on the bench
of the United States Supreme Court
might be gratiied. /.

one of the haughtiest of Oak Parks cam

Fight over PAVEMENT
While Residents on Charles
Street Quarrel the Street
Becomes a Public
Nuisance.

The condition of Charles street, from
Central avenue to the Boulevard, is about
as ~disgraceful as any t~horoughfare in the
Hudson City section, and this despite the
fact that a majority of the property own
ers want it improved and are willing to
pay for the Improvement. The trouble
lies in their inability to agree on what
kin of a pavement shall be used for the
roadway.
About two years ago when the matter
of the Improvement was first agitated, it
was warmly received and a petition was
soon presented to the Board of Street
and Water Commissioners asking for a
macadam pavement, but before the re-
quest was granted the Commissioners sud
denly agreed to allow no more city streets
to be macadamized.
Thus thwarted in their original inten-
ton, the property owners resolved them
selves into two classes-one favoring as
phalt, while the other insisted that moth
ing but Belgian blocks should be used on
the roadway. Thus the matter has rest
ed for some time, neither side being able
to muster sufficient support to win its
contention, and while the property own
ers have been ~wrangling the condition of
the street has continued to grow worse:
nothing has been done to it, until it is
now well nigh impossible. There are
stretches of sidewalk in front of, some of
the property and equally long stretches
where there are no sidewalks and where
miniature lakes form during each storm.
On the whole, the street, which should
be one of the prettiest cottage thorough
fares in the city, is one of, if not the
worst, mud-hole bearing the name of a
street.
Arrayed on the side of the Belgian block
advocates are Henry Mahnken, of No.
119; Herman Budelman, of No. 1872; Jacob
Krause, of No. 1870; Patrick Sullivan, of
No. 1874 Charles street and M. Hoezler, of
No. 1876 Lincoln street. The asphalt men
are led by William H. Walters, of No. 100,
and J.. Cotton, of No. 106 Charles street.
Both sides are fully fortified with argu-
ments in support of their favorite pave
ment, but no amount of arguing by one
will convince the other, and until some
law is passed authorizing the city to make
Improvements of this class, when deemed
necessary, without consulting owners.
there is little likelihood of a settlement of
the matter.
The asphalt adherents argue that the
cost of that pavement is less, the roadway
looks better, is quieter, and raises less
dust, while the Belgian party simply
claim that their pavement is the more
substantial and will be the cheaper in
the end.
Considerable ill-feeling has been en-
gendered by the inability to agree and
some on either side threaten to withdraw
their signatures for the Improvement if
a settlement of the question is not speed
lily arrived at.
