PENNINGTON, Aug. 19, 1s9s.-The far
mers of Hunterdon county wound up
their seventh annual picnic yesterday with
d political Symposium. They first listened
to q cold water tank by REV. J. w Lam
den, of ~Bordentown, the Prohibition can
didate for Governor, and then were treat
ed to some real hot anti-Rcpublicau stuff
by Senator DAILY of Hoboken, whose GU
bernatorial boom got a big lift. The
Senator confined himself entirely TO State
affairs and hurled nan effective shots
into the Republican camp. He arraigned
the party for its extravaganza and sub
s~ervience to corporations, as evidenced
by the positive legislation of the past few
years and the failure to legislate along
the lines of the party's promises. and the
pronunciamentos of Ex-Governor Griggs.
AS a ccrrollary to the Senator's speech the
farmers adopted the following resolu-
tom
Resolved, That we, the farmers Of
Hunterdon county, pledge ourselves
not to vote for any candidate unless
those pledged to vote for the enact
ment OF laws in conformity with the
constitutional provision which says.
All roperty shall be x according
to its true value and under uniform

IN general conversation about the city, OF
late: HAS the Journal gone mad2"
The theory that the management OF
the sheet had lost it's senses is not WITH
out much evidence to sustain 1t IN the
columns of the paper itself. One act OF
wanton recklessness succeeds another
with stunning promptitude, and the peo-
pie who read it or hear of it's extrava-
gances alternate between disguised anger
and dazed surprise.
It's latest performance, the manufac-
turc Of a Supreme Court order out OF
whole cloth and the forgery of the names
of three Judges may perhaps be regarded
as Gaping the climax in a series Of jour-
nalistie crimes. or bIunders-or both-as
extraordinary as any civilized community
has ever witnessed.
The mingling of pure Authorization with
gratuitous malice in these publications IS
what gives origin and support to the In

There is no room for doubt as to the
total illegality of the dog crusade in this
city. There is equally little as to it's
Irrational methods.
The streets are constantly haunted by
half-starved, ownerless mongrels. They
are pitiful to see in their bony and filthy
condition of neglect. They are a danger,
too, to other dogs, whose natural enc
mics they are. and even to human be-
ings. But nobody ever seems to disturb

function for a fortnight, exciting both
the sorrow and the fears of men. women
ing's stroll on the Hill without seeing
numerous specimens of the canine
tramp, Sinking about the curbstones and
grubbing Ia garbage boxes for an atom
of food.
Yet, while this Is so, the officers of Mr..
MeCarthy's society are busy eomplacent-
" stealing well kept and well behaved
dogs, the property and the pets of citi-
gems. There is deep and widespread anger
through the city at their methods, and
1T is safe to say that they escape rough
handling chiefly because they conduct
their depredations in the daytime when
no men are about.
As to the Illegally of the proceedings,
It will be found that tke only law which
authorizes the collection of a tax on dogs
unconstitutional It is a taxing measure,
pure and simple, and it provides that the
city authorities may. levy a tax on dogs,
but it also provides that the tax must be
levied before May / and must be col
jected in the same manner as other taxes
by the City Collector. 1t also provides
that the proceeds must go to the general
fund. TIL act, we believe. violates the
clause of the Constitution which pro-
vides that Property shall be assessed
Tor taxes by uniform rules,
according to It's true value 1t is clear
the Act Of 1893 contemplates a discrimina-
ton against a particular form of prop
erty, and no tax on dogs imposed at a
fiat rate can be regarded as taxation ac-
cording to true value for dogs vary
in valre as much as horses or real es-
tate.
Anyway, the present licensing system
is not a eOrollary to the Act of 1893. 1t
pretends to be an Independent measure,
framed by the Board of Health, for sani-
tary purposes. In this aspect, it is an
open defiance of the Supreme Court,
which has ruled that the Board of
Health cannot deal with the matter un-
less it Is a nuisance, and it cannot license
a nuisance. An opinion has been rem
dered in a similar case by Supreme Court
Justice Jonathan Dixon. It is found in
2sth vroom, the case of MuIcahy v. The
City OF Newark. Newark had an ordi-
nance similar to that enforced by the
Board Of Health of Jersey City. Justiee
Dixon held that the statute Of 1898 barred

It. The opinion was c~oncurred In by
