restricting the operation OF the act to any one
class of municipalities. An immediate appeal
could not be heard without the consent OF the
Democrats. and as this was refused, eiecuons
were held on April Is in Newark and Jersey City.
In the latter city a Mayor. Board of Works Com
missioners and Aldermen were elected, ana Ike
wise in Newark with the exception OF Mayor.
The results in Newark were mixed, from po-
litical point of view. but the Democrats swept
Jersey City.
Mayor Wanser was advised all along that the
law abolishing spring elections would be up
held by the Court Of Errors and Appeals, and.
acting under that advice, he refused to run for
reelection. Now his counsel tell him that he Is
morally bound to hold on to his office. and thus
force a final decision on the constltutlonallty OF
the law. There is wide diversity OF opinion
as TO whether or not such course would be
wise. as many conservative Republicans fear
that litigation taking that form would be re-
garded as an attempt to defeat the popular will,
and that the inevitable cutlery would hurt the
party all through the State
Those who are the most strenuous In urging
Mayor Wanser against surrendering the munich
pal citadel say that there is an important prin-
cple at stake, and that If the proposition which
they advocate were revolutionary 1t would not
be favored by such an eminent constitutional
lawyer as Charles L. Corbin, who has acted
as the Mayors special counsel all through.
If Mayor-eect Hoos and the Democratic lead
ers are more concerned about conserving the
ctys interests than in making political capital
some arrangement satisfactory to both sides
may be arrived at whereby the issue may he
disposed of at once. 1t is true however, that
the Republicans in this contest are laboring I'M
der the disadvantage Of upholding measure that
was never regarded with enthusiasm in other
sections Of the State and this makes the prac-
teal outcome all the more dubious, no matter
what the courts may say.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1897-04-19
PARENTS AND CHILDREN.

The bill in relation to children committed to
charitable and public institutions in this city,
which Senator Ahearn champoned in the Legis-
lature and now defends against local OppOs-
ton, is not suspected Of any wrong purpose
The question Is whether or not 1t is a wise and
prudent measure The bill provides, in brief,
for the restoration to parent or guardian Of
any child hereafter committed to the care Of an
institution, ''in proper case, efter careful and
thorough inquiry; the parent or guardian re-
ceivlng the money allowed by law for the main
tenance Of the child in the institution. The So
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty TO Children,
which is directed to effect this change of Gus
tody is authorized to revoke IT. The theory is
that parents are the natural custodians OF their
children, and that misfortune alone should not
be permitted to sever the relation.
Senator Ahearn, in replying to the opponents
Of the BILL who are to have a hearing before
Mayor Strong this week, speaks with proper
feeling about the distress of poor mother sepa-
rated from n child whom she loves and longs
10 care for, and of child committed for no
fault to the professional charge Of strangers
Such cases are indeed pitiful, and it Is the duty
OF society as well as its interest TO keep the num-
Der OF them ut the lowest practicable point
But it seems 10 us that the advocates OF this
measure have not fully considered its probable
operation. Senator AheaIn says that 1t Is mot
compulsory but recommendatory' yet it pro-
vdes that under the conditions which it speci
fies the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty TO
Children shall" not may, restore child to the
parent or guardian If II be claimed that the
clause lin a proper case and after thorough
inquiry leaves the society full power to grant
or refuse any application the fact still remains
that the bill tends to put premium on avarice
