"KEPTp SALOONS.

Every now and then the newspapers
and Excise Commissioners in great cities
take stand against the evils connected
with saloons of which the licenses are
held in the name of the bar tender who
perhaps has small interest in the bust
ness, but which are mainly the property
of great brewing Establishments.
Evidently our Excise Commissioners
differ widely in their views of things,
from the Excise Boards in other cities
as they do from the decent people of this
city. On Wednesday night one of the
legal representatives of Feigenspans'
brewery appeared before the board,
nominally in the interest of Conway, but
really in the interest of Feiganspan's
brewery, and the board, convinced by the
weight of his eloquence or of his brewery,
unanimously took another step in the
downward path of shame it has been
walking in lately. The end is not yet
however; there is Supreme Court in
New Jersey.

A PENSION BILL.

A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress providing for the much talked-of
publication of the pension roll for every
county in the country annually on
March /, with full data of each case, and
for the correction of alleged abuses. It
declares that no pension, except by
special act of Congress, is TO be granted
under any prior act to any widow of any
soldier or pensioner, or to the children of
such, who becomes the legal wife of the
soldier within FIVE years of the passage of
this act, and all pensions heretofore al
lowed are to cease on remarriage in the
case of widow or attainment of sixteen
years in the case of children. All pen
sioRs to children of pensioners who are
over sixteen years old are to cease imme-
diately, except where the recipients are
demented or helpless.

Ford and Wife in Jail on Charge of MUIR
dereous Assault-Conrad may Get Well.
Fred and Mary Ford, residents of Mt.
Hope avenue. Dover, are now at the
County Jail awaiting action of the Grand
Jury, the result of quarrel with one
Charles Conrad, neighbor. Another
result is that Conrad is laid up at his
home with head sorely bruised, and
after weeks doctoring is very far from
being out of danger. The whole affair
was quarrel of several days duration,
and according to the straightest story we
have at hand, Ford lay in wait for Con-
rad and as he passed a certain point be-
tween the two adjoining houses, struck
him on the head with a baseball bat
Then one of Conrad's friends feIled Ford
with fist blow, whereat Ford's wife
came with reinforcements in the shape
of pitchfork, which she handed to her
husband with the encouraging words :
"Now you got him down, kill him." So
Ford followed the instruction and dealt
blow with the pitchfork. They then
were separated, Ford and his wife were
arrested and brought to Morristown, and
Conrad is lying, as above stated, with
slight prospects of recovery. Ford as
serts that he and his wife had been leased
and tormented by Conrad for long time
and in a passion defended himself with
what he had.

County of Sussex. The appointment
meets with general approval, both in
legal and business circles.
John Lawrence Swavze is a resident of
Newton, where he was born, Oct. IS,
1868. He is the youngest son of the late
Jacob L. Swayze, who was one Of the
founders and for many years cashier and
president of the Merchants National
Bank of Newton. His education was
obtained at the Newton Collegiate Insti-
tute and at Phillips Exeter Academy in
New Hampshire.
From the age of eighteen until he was
twenty-three Mr.. Swayze represented the
Equitable Life Assurance Company of
New York, in Northern New Jersey. In
January 1899, he was general mana
ger in Chicago, for the Standard Cash
Register Co., with exclusive control Of the
territory west of Pennsylvania, north and
south. This business enterprise met with
marked success. but in the summer of
1892, his health having failed, Mr..
Swayze returned to Newton, where he
entered the law Office of Allen r. Shay,
and subsequently that of Theodore
Simonson, the present Prosecutor for
Sussex. He was admitted to the bar at
the November term in 1894, and was
made counselor at law November, 1897.
During the legislative sessions of 1894
and 1895 Mr.. Swayze was journal clerk

ing the demands of successful and
steadily increasing law practice Mr..
Swayze has found time for an earnest
and vigorous interest in the political
affairs of Sussex county and of the Fourth
Congressional District. He was elected
chairman of the Republican County
Committee in September, 1897, on the re-
tirement of the late William M. Smith.
It was during the three years preceding
that event that Mr.. Swayze displayed
the energy, tact and ability which have
marked him as political leader. 1t was
lar, ely due to his exertions and influence
that, for the first time in the history.
Sussex county gave majorities for the
gubernatorial and congressional can
didates. Many friends, of both political
parties are congratulating Mr.. Swayze-
and the county which he will serve-up,
on the appointment which has just been
made, wishing and predicting for him a
useful and brilliant career.
He will enter upon his new duties

NEW BOARD OF HEALTH BILL.

DR.. T. Y. Kinney, President of the
Board of Health of Paterson, stated at a
meeting of the board on Tuesday night.
1.-THE Board of Health could never hope to
control the spread of contagious diseases
while they had nothing to say or do re-
garding the health conditions of the
public schools. These buildings more
than anything else were responsible for
the spread of disease" A bill has been
prepared by the board giving Boards of
Health control of school buildings which
viii be submitted to the State Board Of
Health and if it meets approval it will
be presented to the Legislature.

q. PRAcTtcAA MESSAGE.

The message of Governor Griggs is an
able paper and the varied interests of the
state are considered in manner which
shows thorough familiarity with the
situation. The Governor directs atten-
ton TO the saving Of thousands of dollars
by changing the state offices at Trenton
from the fee to salaried system.
A very important recommendation is
that concerning the system of taxation in
vogue throughout the state and under
which during the past year exemptions
amounting to nearly 100000 have
been allowed. The judgment of the
Governor is that the fault is not because
the theory of taxation is incorrect, but
because of the failure of local assessors
to discharge their duties according to the
requirements of the law.
Concerning the scandals connected
with the offices Of Prosecutor and Sheriff
of Hudson county the Governor says
that if the charges made are true there
remains but one remedy, and that is sthe
high and extraordinary power of i'm
parchment which is lodged in the Legis-
lature." The Governor deems it neces-
sary that the charges made in Hudson
county should be thoroughly investigated
by the Legislature, and that without
hesitation. He says: ''This is no parti-
san matter. The administration of
justice has nothing to do with party
affairs. It is worthy of note that the
Sheriff who is accused and the judges
who have tried to secure the full enforce
ment of the law are of the same political
party. 1t is not to be credited that any
member of any political party would
wish, even for policy, to shield one of his
own organization who had cast discredit
upon bis political associates by pervert-
ing his Office to hamper the administra-
ton of justice.
Unless changes can be made in existing
laws for public good, the Governor is of
the opinion that no changes should be
made.

About twenty members of the City

ing was adjourned to January 90. when

HANNA REELECTED.

The country at large, with the excep-
ton of the Bryanites and half dozen
envious and treacheous Republicans in
Ohio, including Governor Bushnell, will
rejoice in the return of Senator Hanna to
the United States Senate. With few
more Senators combining the practi-
cal common sense and experience of
Hanna, the antediluvian method of doing
business in the Senate would cease and
the general interests of the country
receive the prompt care and attention
they deserve.
