john Ksan's Bunco Game.

John Kean is struggling desperately to
square himself with the people Of Eliza
beth. BY the arrogant manner in which
he oppressed the people Of that city,
through his water and gas monopolies. he
became the most unpopular man in Union
county. This was fully demonstrated in
1899. when Mr.. Kean was the Republican
candidate for Governor. Union gave him
1851 votes. and his opponent. George T.
Werts. 5 49, Now. by the grace Of VIII
liam J. sewell. he has reached the United
states Senate. and he has introduced a
Bill providing for a new public building

HOTEL CHANGES HANDS.

break the Hotel Washington had new
proprietor. Messrs. J. p. Hamblen & son
have been succeeded by Mr.. Frank M.
Chase. an energetic, pushing gentleman.
who will raise the reputation of this well
known hotel to the highest standard.
Mr.. Case came from Buffalo three years
ago to be manager of Taylor's Hotel.
When that building was sold. having made
such lot of friends and liking Jersey
City, he resolved to locate here. His long
experience in hotel matters makes him
well fitted to run the Hotel Washington
in the best style and he says that the
traditions of the house as the foremost
hotel in the State will be maintained
He will make many changes, all to the
development of the hoter and comfort of
its patrons. There will be no change
made in the personnel of the establish
ment. C. H. Connolly will continue to
serve efficiently as clerk.

exists for the passage of this bill. Eliza
beth has commodious postofice. which
was built 50 recently that the bricks have
not lost their new look or the paint its
freshness. Mr.. Kean could win the good
will of his fellow citizens Of Elizabeth
much quicker by reducing their water and
gas bills to something like the rates which
prevail in other cities. something the citi-
zens really need. than he can by getting
them new postoffice. for which there is
no great necessity.
But the reduction of the water and gas
bills would affect Mr.. Kean's pocket,
while the new building would be paid for
by the Government. and that makes all
the difference in the world to Mr. Kean.

1t is noted editorially in the "Medico
Legal Journal" New York, that in many
criminal cases It becomes necessary to
know whether a man is right or left hand
ed. Quoting DR.. Hall, of Denver, high
authority, the writer says
1.-The matter has generally been settled
BY the production of witnesses, who have
testified freely in many cases to a given
condition when an equal number Of wit
nesses have been brought forward who
have testified to an opposite condition. In
many cases the question could be bet
ter settled by an examination of the pris-
oner, II such an examination could be
obtained, or Of the corpse, In case this
became desirable by study Of the cica-

are taught to write with the right hand.

with the left hand in such cases BY the

to be Of 50 much value, and elfIl It has

What England appears to want IN SoueA
4 er,.. Is a General. She has plenty OF
soldiers. from sixty to seventy Thousand
Of them: they are as brave and devoted
90 any in the world, and they shoot well.
Her rifles are Al, and her artillery Is lar
better than that of the Beers. whenever
tfe opposing forces have met on anything
like a fair field. the British have invari-
ably won. But they have suffered one
disaster after another through the idiocy
Of their generals. who have thrust them
into one trap after another, regardless nor
only Of ordinary caution but even OF tneir
own recent experiences.
Lacking at the campaign in the light OF
the world-old theories of war, two fatai
mistakes have prevailed from beginning
to end. One has been the division OF force
the other has been the series OF attacks
made not on the weak sides Of the Boer
army but upon its strongest points. II
yrould appear as IL q commander, who APP
preciated the situation. would have con-
centrated all the available regiments into
one irresistible army, and when he had 1t,
instead of meeting the Beers where they
expected him, he would have struck OUT
some original line of attack, such. for in
stance as direct advance upon Bloom
fontein.
The pretext for the division Of the army
has, of course, been the need of relieving
the besieged garrisons at Kimberly, MAIZE
king and Ladysmith. But the event has
shown the bad judgment of any such at
tempts. In the first place they are not
relieved. In the second place, they do not
appear to be In urgent need of relief. In
the third place, the most effectual method
Of relief would have been strong aggres-
sive movement. because 1t would have
compelled the abandonment of the sieges
or at least a great reduction in the in
vesting forces. the necessity being in
superable for the Boer armies to hasten
to check the main British advance
When this phase of the campaign was
reached. General Butler ought to have
found himself in a commanding situation.
The forces Of cronje in the west being
divided by the entire width of the Orange
state from those of Joubert in the east.
he ought to have been able to keep them
from effecting a junction. By striking
first to one side and then to the other. In
Napoieonic style he ought to have been
able to crush each army separately, and
drive it into a line of retreat taking 1t
away from its base of supplies.
So far, all the generalship that has been
shown has been on the side of the Burgh-
ers, and unless Roberts or Kitchener or
some other officer Of real ability is sent
out. there is strong chance that Britain
will have TO make peace with the little
Dutch Republics on disastrous terms
