SIMPLE EXERCISES.
Hoboken High School Had No
Unnecessary Commence
ment Features.

The annual commencement exercises OF
the Hoboken High School were held in the
Lyric Theatre last evening. Sixty-five
graduates received diplomas, the class
being the largest one in many years. The
exercises were extremely simple. A radi-
cal departure was made from former
commandments at the High School. The
stage and theatre were not decorated and
the programme of the evening was free
from all unnecessary features.
Miss Grace Kahrs was salutatorian and
Robert Burke valedictorian. The latter
was the first young man in many years to
carry off first honors in the High School.
''Tact and Talent was the subject of q
c1everly written paper by Fl. F. Alban-
esius. The two other essays read were:-
intellectual and Moral Progress" by
Miss olga Brelle, and Patriotism by
Miss Helen Voight.
City Superintendent Demarest in award
ing the medal of the Committee ON School
Government to Fred. Muller for general
excellence, said THE war with Spain
has done a great good to the public
schools-in Hoboken at least. While the
brave men who went to fight the Dons
were sacrificing their lives and dis
tinguishing themselves by valorous deeds,
the youth of Hoboken was charging up
the San Juan Hill of knowledge and
striving to initiate the bravery of the field
in the classroom.
President Offermanns prize was award
ed to Miss Grace Kahrs, and Principal
Bowers prize to Miss Meta Mitchell.
The list of graduates has already been
published in 1.-THE News"

Der is Democratic in principles

Newark Daily Advertiser" in an
al, yesterday, expressed the opin-
lat if there was no coercion there
be no consolidation of Hudson mu-
alities It thinks that only Jersey
is in favor of the scheme.
srhaps it depends upon what the
ivertiser'' understands by coercion.
me rule of majority is always coer-
Give. The minority are coerced. In this
sense no doubt, there will be coercion IN
Hudson. 1t is not likely that a majority
vote can be secured for the union Of the
county into one city.
What is meant by the statement, tnat
there Will be no coercion, is simply that
the question will be submitted to popular
vote. 1t will not be made a party ques-
ton Everyone will cast ballot accord
ing to his best judgment, and the ma
jorfty of the ballots will determine the
issue. 1t is probable that from two-thirds
to three-fourths of all the qualified voters
in the county will favor the consolida-
tion.

High School Pupils Recep'

Last Night Those
Present.

As In the case of Hasbrouck reception.
SO in the case of the High School the
weather was just right for dancing, and
the pretty graduates enjoyed it. They
began to arrive at Hasbrouck Hall from
the Academy about twelve o'clock last
night, SO it was pretty late before the
dancing began, consequently the wee
sma' hours were far advanced before
the dancers sought their pillows.
The hall was prettily decorated with
palms. ferns and bunting, the latter rep
resenting the colors Of january and June
classes. while cosy corners awaited the
internissions in the reception room to
one side Of the hall. In the opposite
room refreshments we're served by

1t did not take the boys and girls long
to get their dance orders filled and many
had already begun to split dances be-
fore Wagner's Orchestra struck up the
flrst waltz There were twenty four
dances in all, not counting encores. and
the graduates danced long and well, suf-
ferlng less from torn dresses than in pre-
vious years, though the crowd was quite
as great

boulevard Mismanagement.

The repairs in progress upon the Boule-
ward have brought it to the very climax
of unavailability, at least for bicycle rid
ers. For miles it is in a loose, sandy con-
iition, due to insufficient rolling, and
wheelmen are confined to the narrow CEN
tire strip. The work on the road seems
to be product of utter Incompetence and
total disregard of the public needs.
The electric lights appear to be utterly
neglected. About ten per cent Of them
are out. every night. Last night, for ex-
ample, there were several stretches. from
quarter to half mile long, where not
a single light glimmered.
Perhaps. when a few more horrors go
on record like the injury of Miss Olds,
the commissioners will wake up, and some
common sense win be shown in the man
agement of the road.

A Hideous and Useless Cruelty. :

Detective Bond of Philadelphia went to
the State Prison, at Trenton, yesterday,
and arrested William Clancy as he was
released from the New jersey Prison
after serving a fve-year term for picking
pockets on a ferryboat between Hoboken
and New York. Clancy had previously
beeu confined in jail in Pennsylvania and
made his escape He was taken to Phila-
delphia.
Wayne Klinger and William Kendrick,
who will be released from the State
Prison, tomorrow, will both be arrested
and taken to Pennsylvania to answer
charge Of breaking into the Minersyiile
Postofice.
The case of Clancy is somewhat in the
nature of a special case, because he was
an escaped convict, and is only taken
back to finish his term. But, in general,
the practice of rearresting a man, just
released from a long term of imprison-
ment. is q brutal and wanton cruelty.
It IL . degradation of the criminal law
from its proper field to a mere instru-
mentality of vengeance.
1t never happens that man, who mas
completed his term for one offense, IS
rearrested under another old indictment
in the same State. One penalty is sup
posed to cover all his sins. This prin-
ciple should be extended to offenses COM
mitted in other States as we'll. The pris-
oner, who has served his time, should be
granted clean slate with which to be-
gin life anew.
In the cases quoted above, Governor
Voorhees, will have no power, as they
come under jurisdiction of the Federal
authorities. But when similar instances
arise. as they frequently do, in which
the arrest Is made under the process OF
another State, it is to be hoped the Gov
ernor will make it rule to refuse sur
render of the victim.

In this mornings Estate Gazette" we
find the following extraordinary misstate-
ment:-
Bob Davis insists that fifty water
pipe inspectors must be appointed in Jer-
sey City.
So far as we are aware, there IS not
the least foundation for this assertion.
We believe It is lie, made out of whole
cloth. The 'sGazette'' goes on, thus:-
This is done with the purpose, of course,
Of furnishing employment for the Little
Boss ward heelers.
AS the original statement is totally un-
true, this Explanation is interesting
only as an example of wanton and mali
cious blackguardism.
10 show that he is as foolish as he is
trucuient, the Editor Of the Gazette
further remarks
1t is hardly possible. however, that
among his boot lickers fifty men can be
found competent to inspect either water
or the pipes it runs in.
1t need only be remembered that, If the
only object of the appointments was to
furnish places for heelers, it would not
matter much whether they were compe-
tent or not
But the whole story is untrue.
