The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1898-06-22

The Journal stole yesterday from
THE News of Monday an item of news
regarding the refusal Of Prosecutor Erwin
to pay a claim for witness fees Of $3.50
put in by John Millerman on account Of
Afty-one days detention in Jail. Mr.
Erwin's refusal is made on the ground
that M~illerman's testimony was unsatis-
factory to the State and therefore sus-
picious.
Mr.. Erwin is surely too good a lawyer
to insist on any such proposition as this,
that the fees Of a witness, especially Of
one detained in jail, depends on the
quality # the evidence he gives. We
think that If Millerman will test the mat
Ter. he AN make MI. Erwin retreat from
Ills position faster thar he assumed it
why, Nj. Erwin's idea would make Wit

Judge Blair's Words Falsified
For the Further Injury of
Joseph M. Noonan.

In the Evening Journap' of the 18th,
instant, there appeared, under the cap
ton "Mr. Noonan's Error" an article
which %purported to give an account of
the case of Mrs. Maria Lang, who had
pleaded non vult in Judge Blair's Court,
to an Indictment for violating the policy
law. The article said, that when the wo-
man was brought into court for sentence,
Mr.. Joseph NJ. Noonan, her counsel,
stated to Judge Blair that this was her
first ~offense; nat relying on this repre-
sentation the Judge suspended sentence;
that a subsequent investigation disclosed
the fact that this was the woman's sec
ond ~offense; that Judge Blair, when in
formed of the facts was indignant and
that Judge Blair, in an interview with the
Evening Journals reporter, said
'tMr. Noonan informed me that he was
not aware tina he was in error until this
morning. when he discovered the fact af-
future, ook more closely into statements
hat are made by some of the counsel who
appear in this court"
On the same day that his article was
published in the Evening Journal Mr..
Noonan wrote a letter to Judge Blair di-
recting his attention to the last sentence
of the interview, aseribed to him and ask
ing if he had been correctly reported.
In answer to this letter Judge Blair
wrote to Mr.. Noonan that the part of the
interview referred to by Mr.. Noonan "did
not correctly report what he, Judge
Blair, had said to the "Evening Journal
reporter, and that it contained "an un-
nessary reflection, on Mr.. Noonan. The
letter concluded with the assurance that
Judge Blair had no suspicion of Mr.. Moo
nan,s road fasth in the lang matter

GOLFER DAMS At THE FERRY.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
construction work at the ferry is at
tracing great attention for its thorough
ness and solidity. The men are now
building four Golfer dams, in which will
be sunk piles to the depth Of seventeen
feet. On the top of these will be ma
son work, cement bedding and finally
granite caps. The trusses for the root
of the ~trainshed will find their supports
on these. and when the pillars are thus
anchored they will abide, so the engi-
neers hope, for all eternity. or until the
Spaniards shall bowl it over with 13-incn
shells, which means the same thing.

the Boulevard and Ocean avenue and run
ming from communipaw to Claremont
avenue. This region is i'll served by the
Ocean avenue Inca line which is, be-
sides, consested with its own legitimate
and steadily growing traffic. The region
is altogether out of reach of West Side
avenue.
What is wanted is a line on Jackson
avenue or Bergen avenue, or both. Pres
emit needs would be met by its extension
to Claremont avenue; but it is certain
that if it were continued to the city line,
as contemplated in the much discussed
Jackson avenu plan, it would be a bo-
nanza to property owners, covering their
land with population inside two years.
Nothing but short sighted folly on the
part of all concerned in the deal can pre-
vent the speedy construction of this line.

one of the standing complaints against
Leon Albeit was the pocket veto iha'
is to say. when the Legislature adjourned
it left In his hands a great number OF
h,,,s which he acted upon as he chose,
and there were no Houses at hand 10
ovsrr,da his action. This used to De
snotan Of as a horrible thing by Repup
,,eans. They used to say that it amounteo

We nave not noticed any similar eN-
nressions of indignant comment upon
Tohn w. Griggs or the amiable Mr.
voorhees,. although they AVE 10Th weld
ed the pocket veto with a~ggravating CIR
cumstances altogether unknown IN the
DAYS of Governor Albeit.
There is a statute. somewhere on the
books. which requires the Governor 10 ae'
mon the bills left Upon his hands, WITHIN
thirty days. If he failed to do So lhe
measures were pronounced dead In Gov
ernor Abbett's time. the validity OF TINS
statute had not been questioned, and ne
,,sed 70 observe it. At the expiration OF
4ba statutory time, he used to file all the
rms which he had not signed in the state
library. as rejected. 1t was in Governor
werts, time that some one discovered the
,nvalsdity of the measure, which obviously
undertakes to amend the Consultation by
Art ~ the Legislature. Governor Werts'
though he knew the act was not bindlng'
SIN held pretty well to the thirty-oay
~nrovision. Griggs, however, did as ne
n,eased about it, and the good Mr.. Voor-
bees is following his example to such an
extent that all the bills of this years
Legislature. which adjourned three
months ago, are not yet acted upon.
why does not this gross abuse OF pre-
rogative excite the Newark Evening
News the Newark Sunday Call" the

san papers of the State?
Can It be that they maintain one stand
ard of morality for Democrats and a dif-
ferent one for Republicans?
