It is about time that some means were
and cruel treatment to which murderers
are being subjected in this county Law
yers seeking public notoriety are in the
habit of making applications which they
know the courts will refuse in order that
they can appeal from court to court, even
to the United States Supreme Court, thus
p~rolonging the life and them misery of the
unhappy wretch they misrepresent.
AS time goes on, this process becomes
torture to the poor condemned. Every
time 4 stay is obtained. his hopes rise
and he becomes jubiIant in the chance Of
escaping the gallews, only to be cast Town
into the depths Of despair again when the
application is denied and the appeal is
dismissed.
Thus they go on, step by step, keeping
the poor rimina continuously on a see
saw between hope and agony, until his
mind gives way, and when he is finally
taken to the gallows he is a most n1iser-
able wreck. What earthly good these
notoriety seeking lawyers accomplish for
themselves, the condemned or the public

The Pubic Library Binding.

The sale of the old buildings on the
the plans for the new structure by the
Board Of Trustees bring the realization
of this great public project one step
nearer. In the early spring the building
win begin to arise from its foundations,
and presumably 1900 will see it completed
and occupied by the Library
The event will be hailed with joy, not
merely for its effect on the Library it
self, though this is the chief source of
satisfaction. A second and hardly less
important reason for rejoicing will be the
value of the great Improvement from a.
centralizing point of view. Situated only
a short distance from the new City Hall,
the Library building will help give the
city what it needs, a centre, a heart,
towards which it's interests grasitate, to-
wards which it's traffic radiates, and
about wE:ci1 its business interests clus-
ter.
What we want next is a Post Office
or Federal Building about as far east of
the City Hall As the Library is west,
and with the North Hudson trolleys
whir1ing down to the ferry, we will soon
have a business quarter organized which
will be the core not only of the Jersey
City Of today but of the greater city of
the future.
No doubt the erection Of the Library
building will be valuable to the city for
lie work can be conducted rapidly, eco
nomically and successfully by the appli-
cstion of business methods.

THURSDAY. JANUARY 5. 1885,
This paper is Democratic IN principles
and is INDEPENDENT an its ciefrs on d0 local
questions
he Water Contract Draft.

In our news columns, today, will be
found the text of the contract which is
to be executed between the city and
Patrick H. Flynn in case Mayor Hoos
signs the award for a new water supply
made by the Street and Water Board and
eoncurred in by the Board of Finance.
1t is a comparatively brief document and
its provisions are mainly of a technical
character. Taken in connection with the
specifications, however, which are made
a part of the contract. the instrument
appears to afford the city every protec-
ton and every guarantee which it could
ask or desire
by a bond for $500, 600, into which Mr.
Flynn or the mpa which he is to
form to construct the water works is to
enter. The pollution question is settled
in specific covenants. The time asked by
the city is allowed for thorough trial be-
fore a purchase of the plant need be
made In a word, all the points RAISED
by the severest critics of the city govern
ment and of the bid appear to be fairly
and sauarely met.
OF course this draft is not final. If
anyone has improvements to suggest,
there is ample time IN which to make
them. The contractor has shown every
willingness to meet the people in a fair,
square way, and if any essential omis-
sion is shown him, it may be assumed
he will cheerfuIly supply it.
1t is right, however, that all future de-
yelopments should be speedy. If the
Mayor is to hold a hearing, he should
old it at once. If anyone has amend
ments to the contract to propose, he
should speak at once. There has been
so much delay over the whole business
that fair play, both to the contractor and
the city. demands a speedy settlement
The contract should be signed inside a
weak.

the party in Somerset and the transfer
of that county to the Democrats. So far
as human probabilities go. the Presidency
of the Senate will be given to Mr.. Charles
Arthur Reed, the tall senator from
Somerset.
MIR. Reed is violently opposed by Lewis
]. Thompson, Clerk in Chancery, who is
recognized as the leader of the Somerset
Republicans. MIR. Reed has chosen to set
himself up as a rival to Mr.. Thompson
and his claims have met with such favor
at the hands of the voters that Mr..
Thompson has become alarmed and has
been trying to crush the young Senator
with all the means at his command. Mr..
Reed, however, is not so easily crushed,
and he has defended himself so vigorously
and waged war SO successfully against
Mr.. Thompson that he has the Clerk in
Chancery in a very anxious frame of
mind. Every mention of the name FReeds
sends shivers down the Thompson spine,
and the waning leader is constantly de-
vising means of injuring his rising rival.
Therefore, when Mr.. Reed announced
himself a candidate for the Presidency of
the Senate, Mr.. Thompson summoned his
cohorts and set them to work to do every
thing possible to defeat the young man.
All his efforts, however, have been fruit
less, and Nj. Reed seems sure of election.
1t is hardly to be expected that Mr.:
Reed will rest on his arms after winning
such a victory. On the contrary both
his friends and his enemies look Onward
to seeing him following up his advantage
and continue the war in Somerset until
he has sent Mr.. Thompson into political
obscurity.
There are, however. many Republicans
both in and out of Somerset and of more
or less degrees of influence in the councils
of the party, who would not relish such
a change of affairs and they do not pro-
pose to allow it to take place if possible.
They viii bring much strength to Mr..
Thompson's side, and the bitter war viii
go on.
May the best man win.
The best man is always a Democrat.

AM USEMENTS.


1t is a significant fact that among the
various plays dealing with or touching
upon the present conflict between SPAN
r the United States, none has achieved
such a notable success as HAS been re-
corded for 1.-THE Dawn of Freedom" the
romantic war Drama, which is being pres
ented by Paul Gilmore, and which will
be the attraction at the Academy or
Music next week. 1.-THE Dawn of Free
DOM was certainly an inspiration mas
much IS nearly all of the scenes and
incidents depicted in the play bearing
such a close relation to the events which
have passed into history, were conceived
by the author more than a year prior TO
the Spanish-American hostilities, and are
therefore of special value for stage pur-
poses.
AS Antonio Lopez, a Cuban patriot, Mr..
Gilmore gives to the stage a splendid
and altogether picturesque -impersonation.
Mr.. Gilmore has surrounded himself by
an excellent organization and every one
in the big cast has a special opportunity,
of which due advantage is taken.
