VERY FUNNY INDEED.

[From Sundays New York "Herald."]
That's a funny story about Attorney
General Grey and he 81, 400 County Col
lector Dugan of Hudson sent to him for
his services in the prosecution of the Moo
nan-Simpson bribery case. Tit Attorney
General had actually to take his law as
to his own rights from a local newspaper.
1t called his attention to a statute that
makes his salary as Attorney General
full compensation for his services to the
State of whatever nature, and he forth
with sent the $1,400 back to Mr.. Dugan.
the prospect of 800 a day extra COM
pensation was not alIuring enough to in
luce him to appear promptly at the trial,
and one may assume that if he had sus-
pected that there was to be no 500 a day
in it after all for him, he might have
been even more reluctant to respond. The
Attorney General was. even after he had
appeared in court, a disappointment to
those who expected a keen, incisive trial
of the case. His cross examinations
scarcely rose to the level of apologies.
They tell in Hudson how a -scrutininzing
cross questioner. could have compelled one
of the essential witnesses for the defence
to humiliating confessions as to his past
career that would W destroyed his
credibflity. But the Attorney General let
him go with a simple question or two, and
SO he left his testimony unimpeached for
a partial juror to use as a Justification
for his acauitting vote. The, old gentle
man may. however. have been Disguised
at the very outset of the case by the
ohio , aotarS of the men who were called
into court as the star witnesses for the
State, and fearing they were not of the
kind to win credence among critical men,
he may have lost heart in his case be-
fore he had fairly entered upon it.

Tho Do-Nothing Legislature.

The Tribune paragraphs he Do
ly, this morning. First of all, it says
Everything points now to the final adj
journment of the Legislature next Fri
day afternoon or evening. Both Houses
are working with that end in view, and,
unless some Unexpected obstacle inter-
poses, the programme will be carried out.
For this relief much thanks. So long
as the present Legislature is in session,
there is no telling what vicious or danger
Gus thing will be done by it. The only
reason why it has lone so little mis-
chief, SO far, is that the orders from the
boss were to make a record for impo-
tence and uselessness as an argument in
favor of biennial sessions.
The Tribune goes on
Tomorrow the Appropriation bill will be
introduced and pushed through as rap
idly as possible. Champions of various
interests and institutions may try TO nave
certain items increased, but 1t is not
probable that any substantial changes
will be made
No. The ordinary expenses OF tue 0tdte
nave been so outrageously increased by
the G.. o. P. since it gained control that
there is nothing left for extraordinary
calls, that is to say, for public improve
ments.
Once more the '~sTribune':-
The present Legislature is not likely to
enact any law concerning the liquor
trade.
This is funny. Was any liquor legisla-
ton expected? Is any needed?
Finally
This afternoon the Senate took up and
passed the bill abolishing the fee system
so far as it applies to the County Clerks.
S~urrogates and Registers of Essex ana
Hudson counties, and it now goes to the
House. The bill, as originally drawn. APP
plied to Sheriffs and included all coun-
ties, but the politicians in he smaller
counties objected.
The amendment shows the hollowness
of the whole proceeding. In the first
place, the small counties need the re-
form ever more than the large ones. In
the second place, the bill is plainly UNI
constitutional in it's new form.

RUTGERS BOYS TO SING.
Forensic Society of the High Schooi
70 Give n Concert April Is.

The Forensic Society of the Jersey City
HIGH School has secured the services OF
Rutgers College Glee Club for April 10, at
Hasbrouck Hall. On the occa-
sion of their last visit the
Rutgers boys captured the entire
audience and those who heard them then
will be pleased to hear that they are to
again visit us. After a long rest during
Lent the club will be in condition to do its
best and an entertainment fully as good
as. if not better than, the one they gave
recently is promised. This club has al
ways ranked among the first in the coun-
try. and, with its many great successes
as an impetus. is rapidly nearing he top.
Mr.. Wilmot. the genial leader, who SO
eaptivated Jersey City hearts on his last
visit here, is down on the programme for
several solos. which, by the way, would
be a complete entertainment in them
selves.
After the concert is over the floor will
be cleared and those who have observed
Lent by not dancing will be allowed a
chance to again exercise themselves IN
waltzes, two-steps, caprices, etc.

cision of the gentleman from Red Dog.
1t is well worth noting, in addition,
that the revenue-what there is of tits
not coming from the tariff features of
the Dingley law. but from the essentially
Democratic internal revenue features
Thus. the official returns for February
show the following increases of income
from internal revenue items:-Whiskey,
$500, lis; cigars and eheroots, slo7, 1o4; Gig
a%rettes. sl2l, 4ss; beer, s25o.542.
Criticism is superfluous.
