THE reason why the lawyers in the
rase are so certain that the Ultimate de-
eision IN the case will be in favor of Mr..
Hoos is to be found in an expression
neal the close of the opinion, the full
text of which we give in another column.
1t is the remark Of the Court that the
decision should be made .'in a form
capable Of review by either party"
AS the case stands, a decision adverse
to Mr.. Hoos would be capable of review
In his interest He would nave the right
Of appeal. The city, on the other hand.
could not appeal against a writ of per-
emptory mandamus. such as Nj. Hoos
prays for.
The Court suggests that the issue be
put in the form Of a return to an alter
native writ to which the relator has de-
INJURED. This Is the form under which
the order Is made upon the city to issue
ballots or else show reason for not doing
SO. The city pleads the act of 1897. Mr..
Hoos demurs. claiming that the act is
Invalid. If the Court decides in his favor
on this issue. the city can appeal.
If the Court Intended to decide in favor
Of the city, why should it thus take pains
10 safeguard its right Of appeal7

The Supreme Court yesterday took the
FIRST step towards properly rebuking the
greed of the office grabbers, who tried
to steal by legislative enactment the
right Of the people of Jersey City to
hlect their own officers. Tt is true the
Court has not yet finally passed on the
tonstitutionality of the law, because it
was not sufficiently involved in the inn
mediate issue; but In ordering City Clerk
D'Donnell to file Mr.. Heos' certificate, it
showed a sufficiently strong bias to make
The upshot of tomerrow.s hearing a fore
gone conclusion
The duty of inficting the final penalty
will fall to the people on Election Day.
They win not lose the opportunity Of
signifyfng their hatred of sue gross
bill Involves. Mr.. Hoos and the entire
Democratic ticket viii be enthusiastically
elected.
The latest rumor is that the Legisla-
lure will be held together to pass another
bill. in case the courts finally invalidate
this one. Such a course is possible. Any
thing is possible to the reckless combina-
ton into whose hands the State has now
fallen.
But if this be done, If the Republican
party is not content with reversing the
will of the people. if it uses its power to
trample on the Judgment of the courts,
Its doom is only the more certain.
1t is highly improbable that any law
ran be framed to overcome the objections
bf the court. which will be constitutional,
except a law applying to all cities in he
Etate. 1t is doubtful if such a law as
this can be passed. On the other hand,
another fake bill might be passed, merely
to prevent the holding Of an election, be-
rause any new appeal to the courts at
this late day would be out of the aues-
Zion.

with him about 20 pounds OF orc

Alfred Gri..om Tell. OF . Narrow

Alfred Grissom Tells OF . Marrow Es.
cape In Alabama.
Alfred Grissom, the of the
summer excursion boats, has a cannon
ball story which he says is Gospel truth.
People in the excursion business have
a strict regard for veracity, and many
OF his friends believe every word Of it.,
snys the st. Louis Republic.
Several years ago, the story runs,
Mr.. Grissom was in st. James parish,
La. He had occasion to visit a sawmill
where the big cottonwood logs were be-
ing cut into lumber. His attention was
attracted to n particularly large log,
when suddenly there was a loud crash,
like that of the teeth striking a nail.
Windows were broken, men shouted
and the machinery was stopped. Mr..
Grissom was not hurt as he had i'm
agined. Something had happened and
he stopped to see the cause. The big
log was removed from the rack and
split open. a large cannon ball was
imbedded in the center. The saw had
struck it and broke into n myriad of
pieces which flew III all directions. Five
pieces passed through his hat, one
struck his watch and glanced off, an
other hit II silver dollar in his vest
pocket n left n scratch along it's sur
face. Luckily, non of the flying par
ticles struck his body or did other in
jury than break n few pancs of glass in
the Office compartment.

In the Contemporary Review Mira.
Emily Crawford, writing her reminis.

the purchase OF one of the cleverest lit
tie canvascs Meissonicr ever painted.
The occasion of the buying of the pic
turc was n visit TO the Palais de I'm
dustrie in Paris. prince Albert sin
gled out as worthy OF admiration n hor-
rid little painting that had every quail
ity manipulation could give--'Le Rixie,'
or The Brawl.' Rufians were shown
engaged in a deadly tussle. The tech
nique was marvellous. Meissonier up to
that time n struggling artist, was the
painter. The emperor bought the
painting behind the queens back for
$1,000, and presented it next day TO
her husband rs n birthday gift. The
subject was innuspicious. 1t would
have startled an old Roman in the
princes place" Certainly Prince Al
bert had good taste, and so had Louis
Napoleon, as far as Meissonier Is con-
Ccrned.

KANSAS City Kitten That Fooled with
Fly Paper.
\ small, gray kitten in Kansas City
walked back and forth in a store win
dow the other day; conscious of her
graceful appearance she lifted her feet
daintily and curled her tail up over her
back. Suddenly n noise in the store
startled her, and she lowered her head
and dropped her tail, as she tuned
stealthily to investigate. This was IA
mistake. For the tail came in contact
with n piece Of sticky fly paper, and all
the efforts she made TO remove IL but
increased her discontinue and humili-
alton. She shook her 1.-the body, and the
tail was wagged vigorously, but the
paper held her faster and tighter than
it ever held n fly. She put her forepaw
down; it stuck. Her little hind paw
came to the rescue, and was held where
it fell. Frantic and mcwiEg %piteously,
she rolled over and over. till cnwrapped
in a drapery of ilypnper, she tumbled
of the window platform and was gone.
No n knew where or,how, with but
two feet free and those on corners diag-
onally opposite, she had managed to
get out of sight and hearing. But she
did ii, and the fypaper went with her.
