contrary. ~unexpended balances appear A.
several instances.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. McEean's
paragons OF virtue win have the honor to
report this state Of facts to the court and
the public. SO tha the officials and their
party may reap the benefit. This Grand
Jury has 50 far made rather a bad record
in this respect. It's suppression Of the
facts about the Hoboken election returns
was far from creditable to it. Perhaps
now that Election Day has passed, the
jurors will be more inclined to do justice
to the GOOD name Of Hudson county and
pay less regard to the political bearing of
the facts laid before them.

New Jersey In the next Congress-.

grbere ARE indications that the RepuDl-
can members from New Jersey OF the
next Congress are getting greedy. They
all want important c-hairmanships. MI
a WAYNE Parker, of Newark. the dash
ing ana gallant commander Of the Essex
Troop, wants to be at the head OF the
Judiciary Committee. His experience and
standing at the New Jersey Bar. he
thinks, completely qualify him for the
responsible position. The Hon. Charles
Newell Fowler. OF Elizabeth. one of whose
chief claims to fame is the striking re-
semblance which he bears to President
Mckinley, considers himself eminently fit
ted for the Craftsmanship of the Commit
tee on Banking and Currency.
From way down in the lower end Of
the State comes a claim for that important
place OF Chairman of the Committee on
Naval Affairs. Mr.. Harry L-oudenslager,
OF the First District. who has had his
own troubles trying to navigate through
the courts a land company and real estate
deal, thinks that he is the proper person
to preside over the deliberations OF the
committee which has charge Of equipping
and maintaining the navy of the country.
Mr.. John J. Gardner, the foxiest man in
the delegation, has not yet made public
his wishes. but no one need doubt for a
that they are on file where they
will do the most good. Mr.. Howell, Of
New Brunswick. and young Mr.. Pitney,
Of Morristown. the remaining Republican
members. have not yet announced which
Of the important places they desire. but
they allow It to be inferred that they
expect to be well taken care Of.
ALI these gentlemen profess to ave good
reason to believe that they win receive
the places which they ask for. Mr.. Hen
derson. who will be the next Speaker,
Is favorably inclined, they all say, to-
wards their claims. Nc suspicion seems
to have entered the minds Of these gem
tlernen that Mr.. Henderson might be
e.jollying'' them in order to get their votes
for the Speakership. It would seem quite
probable. ~wever the outsider-that
some Of the other States besides New Jer-
sey viii be given a share of the pap which
Congress will have to dispense.
