K rSII, OF PATERSON, as saying Jndt tns DIOOA-
lyn police think every man who wears silk
hat is in the bunco business. They took me for
confidence person simply because wore a
silk hat
The police must have been helping some OF
Judge Kerr's friends to play a practical joke
on him. 1t was rather crude and artistic, be-
cause. even with silk hat. the Judge doesn't
look the least bit like a confidence man. True.
he is innocent and ingenious in appearance, and
has that winning manner which is the chief
stock in trade Of successful film Hammers
Nevertheless, there could be no excuse for
anybody who seriously mistook the Judge for a
swindler. His dignifed. intellectual appearance.
especially when his eyeglasses are at the right
angle stamp him as a citizen Of flight and
leading such as the people Of Paterson know
him to be. No. the Judge has been the victim
of some alleged funny man. OF course, he is
entitled to redress. The Borough of Brooklyn
ought to be compelled 70 apologize and pay a
suitable indemnity or, upon refusal, be pun
ished by having Paterson break off all dplo-
matte relations with it.
Won't New-Jersey be proud when the result
of this years census gives it two more Repre-
sentatives in Congress! Doubtless Newark will
want to be a district all by itself and let East
Orange go somewhere else. Jersey City may
have similar longngs, but it is hardly big
enough for that yet. Passaic County is likely to
have ambition to travel alone and let Bergen
County seek a new mate somewhere else.
At any rate there is certain to be a general
Encouragement of all 'he districts. with possibly
two exceptions, and each section may be relied
upon to see that it's claims are not overlooked.

There is no doubt that Wilbur A. Heisley, the
present Prosecutor OF the Pleas for Monmouth
County, will be nominated by the Governor to
succeed Judge j. Clarence Conover as County
Judge. Senator Francis asked the Governor to
send his name to the Senate for confirmation.
The place is not so desirable as it was formerly
because Of the general belief that the salaries
of the county judges will be reduced, which
Governor voorhees, regards one of the COM
ing acts Of legislation Mr.. Foster, Of Atlantic
Highlands. will be appointed to succeed Mr..
Hesley as Prosecutor, Senator Francis having
asked that he be nominated, and, as is under
stood, the Governor having expressed his will
ingness to make the nomination.
The contending factions Of Burlington County,
who have been laboring with Governor Voorhees,
for some weeks over the appointment of a Prose
cutor of the Pleas for this county to succeed
Eckert P Budd, are relieved Of their suspense
Ever since the early political days Of Ex-senator
William Budd Deacon. Burlington County has
had It's small and large political factions when
ever there was any patronage in sight, and this
year has been no exception to the rule. In
fact, the strife over this appointment more
earnest, If possible, than has been usual even
in Burlington County, which Is said to hold the
record for putting up strong partisan claims for
its candidates for political favors. Governor
Voorhees, patiently listened to the advocates OF
the favorites, and at last decided that inasmuch
as the rank and file Republicans seemed to de-
sire the appointment of Samuel r. Atkinson as
Prosecutor. he would appoint him.
