NEW-JERSEY NEWS.

After fourteen successive years of Grafton and
peroration the stentorian voice OF ex-Assemoiy-
man ]. Martin Roll will cease for time 70 De
heard in the Union County Board Of Freehold
ers. For the first time in twenty-five years the
Democrats Of Mr. Rolls township have elected
q Chosen Freeholder The cause of this change
politically IS said to be the belief that Mr. Roll
had been spending too much time in Trenton
recently.
There may be no significance in the fact that
Franklin Murphy of Newark. the chairman OF
the Republican State Committee. and T. F. T.
Young of Jersey City. formerly chairman OF
the Democratic State Committee were guests OF
honor at a dinner given by Jerseymen recently
And yet the nomination of a candidate for Gov
ernor of New-Jersey Is only a little more thaH
a year away, and both Mr.. Murphy and MI
Young being frequently mentioned by their
political admirers as candidates for that NOM
ination.
The complaint is made that the Republicans
of Newark 'hesitating and paltering over
the matter of selecting candidate for Mayor
of that city. and for no good reason. as Is said'
since the defeat Of the present Mayor In the
next election would be by no means difn"'ilt
matter If the Republicans should go at the mat
ter in earnest. Mean while Mayor Seymour IS
apparently the most disinterested individual In
the outcome of the deliberations of both parties
Evidently the Mayor thinks pretty well OF him
self and of his administration. while he ap-
parently has doubt that there are others OF
the way of thinking.
In 1872 the city of Newark had industrial
exposition which was at once credit and a sur
prise even to itself II that was the case nearly
thirty years ago, what such an exhibition would
be two years hence need not be a matter for
guess work. The growth and expansion OF New
ark in that time have exceeded in manufactur-
ing way the same advancement in the same way
Of any manufacturing city in the Union. TO
speak of Newark 1.-The Birmingham OF Amer
ica'' is no longer to pay IL a peculiar or note
worthy compliment The extent and variety of
its manufactures are so great that 1t is doubtful
If even those who are given to liking for sta
tistics Of this kind are fully informed as to what
Newark contains or the extent of Its commercial
interests through It's manufactures with the
world. The population In thirty years has prob
ably been nearly three times increased, largely
as the outcome cf it's manufactures 1t would
seem, therefore. that the proposition to hold an
Industrial exposition there two years hence will
meet with such hearty approval and such ma
terial support as to place the accomplishment OF
II beyond doubt.
A commuter who keeps the of things up
that way said yesterday that some of the peo-
pie of Bloomfield were chershing the idea that
they could keep some of the citizens of Mont
clair from coming to their town for their Sunday
liquor by passing an ordinance providing that
all the saloons in Bloomfield shall be closed at
midnight on Saturday. and not be opened until
Monday at ) a. M. and that the screens and
curtains Of the saloons shall be left as to
permit full view of the bars. What an op-
portunty" said the Bloomfield commuter. "for
adding Easements to the Sunday saloons"
