The allegations of THE News" that the

officially verified by the letter Of their fac

Hoos. In plain terms. the creature Of the
rotten combine informs Jersey City that
1.-THE county is bankrupt and that his own
ers are obliged to beg for grace SO thai
they may be able to embezzle money from
next years appropriations to pay this

them to do SO, and by consenting to such
an act. Mayor Hoos would incur some OF
the moral responsibility of the act,
though, of course, he would be Legally
scafhless. 1t would not be becoming IN
the Mayor of the leading city in the
county to encourage malfeasance and en-
bezzlement in the administration of the
county finances, and so. we hope, he VIII
sternly INSIST that the city's bill for water
be settled at once. bonds being sold for
the purpose, if necessary.
The entire incident is eloquent in its
appeal to the Legislature for relief for
the people. Not only should the Board
OF Freebooters be abolished and a small
executive board be substituted, but also
the doings of the present combine should
~ laid bare by the Voorhees, or some
similar committee. and the material laid
before the Grand Jury. so that the scoun-
drels may get their deserts.

factors In the present situation. One OF
these IL the practical settlement of the
silver folly by the defeat of William j.

of western farms and is taking shape
upon the floors of the produce exchanges.
The element in the situation which is
discounting the prosperous conditions,
which is preparing a relapse in the future
into the disasters OF 1892 n 1893, is the
niquitous tariff with its ruin of foreign
commerce, its perpetual deficit and its
monstrous tax upon the living necessities
OF the people. So long as the farmers can
harvest two crops of wheat a year and
get double price for it, the good times
will prevail. But when our turn comes
for a bad agricultural year. and when
Russia and the Cape and Argentine get
their boom, then our Dingley tariff will
strangle US, as sure as we live.

GENERAL RoBEs0N's FUNERAL.
The Ex-Secretary of h Navy Laid
to Rest Yesterday.

Especial to THE Jersey City News"
TRENTON. Oct. /, 1897.-The funeral of
Hon. George NJ. Robson took place yes
terday. the services having been held in
the First Presbyterian Church. They
were conducted by Rev. DR.. John Dixon,
who opened them with a praye after
which the choir sang a solemn air.
DR.. Dixon spoke feelingly of the de-
ceased in his sermon, saying that he was
one of New jerseys most distinguished
sons. He had great natural powers,
which were cultivated to the highest
effectiveness. He had been one of the
most prominent and influential men in
the country. The burdens he had borne
in the past had Slapped his vitality and
left him feeble. His greatest honor was
when he was made Secretary of the Navy
under General Grant. His influence in
his country's affairs during this period
was second to none. He loved his country
and gave to it the greatness of his power
during the years of great political excite
ment. There was probably no man in
public life within a generation, said the
speaker ON the other hand, who had suf-
fered more from party animosity and
public fckleness. The day would come,
said the preacher, when the public press
would not say things about men as cruel
as they are baseless. The life of the de-
ceased a the approval of a good con-
science.

TRENTON. Oct. 1, 1S97.-It will probably

some of the rural sections ofqthe months

Cape May sands. The figures nnow at
hand Indicate a majority of but 1000 for
the antf-gambling amendment while the
earliest returns and estimates on Tues
day night placed the figure at $4,000. As
an Instance Of the wide discrepancy in the
estimates sent out, Essex county was
placed at 5000 against the anti-gambling
amendment. That m was based
upon the city of Newark, but the returns
from the rural districts nave cut it down
to POI. The sam wild errors were made
by the calculators in other parts of North
Jersey, and in the absence of accurate
returns these estimates seemed good.
The majority against the ad interim
appointment amendment is even smaller,
and it is now somewhat probable that
that was accepted by the people. The
woman suffrage amendment, however,
was rejected by a very large majority,
probably as much as 12,0oo.
Race track owners are arranging for flu
ture action The sentiment of his class
is that the result of the election means
that the people are not opposed to rae
ing, and no time will be lost in making
the effort to revive the sport in New Jer-
sey. THE sports are already looking
forward to the possible opening, not only
of Monmouth. Elizabeth and Linden, but
also of the tracks at Gutenberg, Clifton
and Gloucester. 1t is proposed to have
a bill in readiness to introduce at the
next Legislature, and a fight will be made
to pass a law on the lines of the Gray
law in New York State.
A race track man, who is identified
with the owners of the New Jersey tracks
said yesterday: "Bills will surely be be-
fore the next session to permit racing
with proper restrictions in order to keep
the sport clean and ZONES and keep off
the black leg and undesirable element of
gamblers, who were responsible for the
degradation of the sport in the first
place."
