We regret to inform you that Judge
T n WEIGH has been sick ever since
his visit a week ago TO your city. He
attributes in part his attack to the
great hospitality of the Messrs. Wal
lace, st Fitzhugh and others. He has
had attending him two doctors-Dr
Thos W. Dew and Dr. Roderick Dew.
He SAYS it is the fist time in sixty
years he has needed medical attention
though in that time he has never had a
well day, in the sense, that healthy
man is well has suffered more OF less
every day, but troubled no one about
his ailments
The schools are open. bat the attend
ance of children is not good or regular {;
very hard matter for teachers 20 make

in most cases the parents, are very in
different as to the advantages Of an ed

the schools. Some are seriously con.
tending that the public ought to furnish

school houses and return them home
The next move will be to furnish free
books and free restaurant at each

The canvass in this county is pro-
crossing, but the p1rchsseable voters are
non. committal, waiting to find out
from which of the saidto-be rich and
liberal candidates they can receive the
largest amount for their suffrage. We
will never have fair elections again On
til the right Of suffrage is restricted to
free holders and the voting to be viva
voce. We have tried that system and
it worked well We have also tried the
present experiment, and it is a sad and
disastrous failure, as it respects both
black and white voters who are non
free holders.

CONTRACTORS SICK OF JOBS.
Think They Will Lose Money on
Their Bids,

Some of the contractors to whom con-
tracts for county supplies were recently
awarded are not only willing but anxious
to let somebody else get the contracts
and furnish the supplies. 1t is now thor
oughly understood that so far as Leader
Robert Davis influence goes there will be
no more monkeying with these matters.
Contractors to whom contracts are
awarded will be held to them and will be
required to furnish goods of the quality
and at the prices agreed upon.
Louis Keissewetter, who was awarded
the meat contract at about $1,000 less than
the next lowest bidder, is willing to sur
render his contract as he is convinced
that he will lose money if he is held to it.
Patrick O'Neil the new storekeeper, is
determined that the contractors shall
supply exactly what the specifications re-
auire them to supply and he will not ac-
cept anything of an inferior quality.
Samuel Smith, the shoe contractor, has
thrown up his contract on the ground
that the sample shoes now at the store
house are of better quality than those
which were exhibited at the time heApre-
pared his bid.
The tea contractor cannot be found.
Assistant Clerk Noonan has written to
him but has not received and answer.
Bids for a new tea contract will be adver-
tised for next Wednesday,

SHORT HOURS FOR LABoRERs.
Col. Brown Instructs the Republican
Committee on the Subject.

The members of the Hudson County Re-
nublican Committee last night Were ad-
dressed by Colonel E. P. Brown on the
relation between capital and labor. Col.
Brown said
81 came here to talk with the machlne
because 1 believe in the machine and ma
chinery. No practical reforms can be
brought about without the aid OF organi-
zations." He reasoned that the reduction
of the hours of labor is beneficial to the
development of the material industries in
asmuch as skilled mechanics can then de-
vote more time to exercising their IN
yentive faculties. He referred to the
Walker bill which has for its provision
the limitation of the hours OF labor OF
women and children by an act OF Con-
gress. and said that the bill was uncon-
stitutional He did not see, however,
why the fathers of the constitution VINO
provided for uniform act and a uniform
tariff act SO that all creditors and all i'm
norters would be protected alike did not
also delegate to Congress the power to
regulate the hours of labor SO that the
manufacturers in all parts Of the United
States would have equal chances in the
connective markets.

Superintendent Snyder reported that
the evening schols will close for the sea-
son tonight. Also that Schools Nos Z,
10 and 25 had been closed for some hours
| during the present week on account of
the extreme cold weather, it being i'm
possible to properly heat them; and
| schools Nos II and 10 because they were
not supplied with coal
| He also repored that the number of pu-
pills already registered at new School No.
| 26 is 4S0.
He was greatly gratifed, he said to an
nounce that there are more pupils ENROLL
ed in our schools than ever before, and
that the attendance is larger, that no
child applying for admission is refused
| for want of room, but all received: some
thing that could not be said in the last
thirty years. This, he said shows in the
| most emphatic form what this Board has
accomplished by the erection of new
schools. But there are two schools still
overcrowded: Nos. and IA, and at pres
ent no relief can be afforded showing
that the erection of additional schools
/ should not cease.
Director higgins stated on behalf of the
Committee on Fuel that the fault of hav-
ing no coal in the schools mentioned by
! the superintendent rests upon contractor
James Coyle, who is now only using two
wagons to deliver coal to the schools
when in former years he used four, and
that the committee has decided that il
any school needs coal and Contractor
Coyie does not at once furnish it when
! ordered, the committee will procure q
supply and charge the difference in the
price to him and his bondsmen. The com
mittee, Mr.. higgins said, are tired of the
methods of Mr.. Coyle.
No objection was offered to the pro-
] posed action of the committee.
