the GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Governor Griggs' annual message is evil
IDENTIFY framed on the fact that being prac'
ticalIy appointed to cabinet position, ne
has not much time to devote to State
affairs
As vehicle of public information the
message is a rank failure. AS means Of
misleading those who depend on its utter
snces it is, or ought to be, success.
The message opens with the discovery Of
increased activity in business, an enlarge
ment of wages, and prosperous agricui-
ture.
Then admitting an increased income to
the State fund of $3.50, 245, and referring to
the efforts of the executive to promote
economy in expenditures the Governor
seeks to minimize the fact that the total
expenditures of the State fund reached the
enormous total of s., 313 ,060.97!
Several State institutions and boards are
cursorily mentioned, and then is opened up
what is really the real purport of the mes
sage. And that is TRADE against Hudson
county and its officials. In this TRADE the
Governor adopts the allegations OF what DC
calls responsible journals" and charges
against the Sheriff, the Prosecutor and the
Grand Jury of Hudson county the mos'
serious offences in order that he may sug-
gest the impeachment of these officials. U
course, in this suggestion the Governor de-
MES any partisan purpose, but he calls fol
legislative inquiry into the administra'
ton of Justice in Hudson county alone
when he knows, as citizen, as lawyer
and as a Governor, that the evil against
which remedy is sought prevails in almost
every county of the State; knows that IL
his own county of Passaic that Grand Jurie'
have been severely lectured by the Supreme
Court for not finding bills against open and
fragrant violations of the law he knows
that Camden county is sink of political
corruption, in which the manipulation O
iuries is an open science he knows that IL
Mercer county the Grand Jury which was
compelled to examine into the stone road
frauds steadily and studiously refused tt
find any bills against men who confessed
to having robbed the county.
Knowing these matters, it was unjust o.
the Governor in what may be considered
as his farewell kick at New Jersey, to selec
as the object of his attack, the much abused
Hudson county, when his blow could have
told with equal force against almost every
other county in the State.

MRS. M,cusKHR ACQUITTED.
The Jury Declares That She Did Not
Murder Her Husband.

The Jury Declares That She Did Not
Murder Her Husband.
Camden, N. J., Jan. 13-Mrs. Florence
McCusker, charged with the murder Of
her husband, Michael, by shooting him
on Nov. 6 last, was acquitted by the
jury in Judge Garrison's court yester-
day afternoon. The trial for the life
of the first woman so jeopardized in
this county was dramatic throughout,
and ended with the appropriate climax.
The jury spent one hour and a half de-
Hberating, and when they returned and
announced the finding the handsome
young prisoner uttered a convulsive
"Oh!" swayed to and fro, while the
tears rained from her eyes, and then
toppled over in a faint. Her aged
mother fell on her knees and cried,
''Thank God!" while the crowd of
friends and relatives pressing about the
dock grew SO great that it became nee
essary to clear the room.
A different scene was meanwhile en-
acted a few feet away, where the rela-
tiyes of the dead man were. When the
verdict was announced his old mother
sobbed aloud, and his sister cried out:
"She may go free, but she is a murder
ess just the same"
The defense was that the shooting
was accidental, and the result accords
with the general expectation,

To Publish the Pension Roll

Washington, Jan. Representative
Beach, of Ohio. has introduced a bill
providing for the much talked of pub
lication and posting of the pension roll.
The bill declares that no pension, ex-
cept by special act of congress, is to be
granted under any prior act to any
widow or any soldier or pensioner, or
to the children of such who becomes
the wife of the soldier within five years
of the passage of this act, and all PEN
sions heretofore allowed are to cease
on the remarriage in the case of a
widow, or attainment of 16 years of age
in the case of children. All pensions to
children of pensioners who are over 16
years of age are to cease Immediately,
except where demented or helpless.

Ledger AS noted in the Ledger's Wash
iDgton dispatches Monday. the Japanese
cruiser which is to be launched at Cramps
shipyard on the 10Th will not be christened
with bottle of wine, as is customary in
this country, but with flowers and the re-
lease of doYes. The latter is a much more
impressive and picturesque ceremony thar
the former and meets the objections Of
those people who depreciate the use of wine
on principle 1t seems to be a sensible
innovation.
