THE MEANING OF THIS Z

The arrest of five young men and
three girls on Sunday last, one of the
latter child of fifteen years of age,
calls attention to phase in our town
life which is exceedingly painful, and
which for that very reason is little
spoken of. and thus is apt to be lost
sight of None OF the girls were over
eighteen years old, while the men
were all atleast, five years older. The
parents of young girls cannot be too
careful about seeing that they are
not allowed on the streets at night
without proper guardian. A gentle
man prominent in philanthropic work
in Morristown, inf rmed the editor OF
The Chronicle that on a recent night
Of this week that between s. 40 and 8. 10
he counted on the streets about zoe
boys and girls between the ages of ten
and fourteen. There seemed no par.
tieular reason for their being out un.
less it was the consequence of a
cheap show in the Lyceum on that
evening. There are in Morristown,
a large number of immoral young
men who will not hesitate to way
lay young girls and entice teem tt
their ruin. We are sorry that tht
Justice did not see his way to dea
more seriously with tue eight partie
in this case, especially with thu
men. A few hours in Jail and I
triflng fine of $500 and costs, tn,
latter amounting to about as mucl
more is quite an inadequate sentence
Ninety days in the county Jail i
the lightest sentence suitable for sucl
an offense

The classification act was passed in
1888. 1t made four classes of counties,
the first with population exceeding
100000, the second exceeding so. 600,
the third exceeding 10000, and the
fourth those with less than 0,00C.
The first class contained Hudson
and Essex the second Passaic, Cam
den. Mercer, Union, Monmouth, Mid
dlesex, Bergen, Morris and Burlington !;
the third Cumberland, Warren. Hun
terdon, Atlantic, Gloucester, Somer-
set, Salem and Sussex; the fourth
Ocean and Cape May.
When the census is officially pro-
mulgated, which is toe time fixed by
law for change. Passaic will become
a first class county. Its population
having gone up to l55, 300, and all
laws designed for Hudson and Essex
will affect Passaic. None of the other
second class counties passed the limit
of their class, but Cumberland County,
which was in the third class, will pass
into the second class, It's population
having gone up to 81, 1913. All laws
intended for the counties of Camden,
Mercer, Union, Monmouth, Middle
sex, Bergen, Morris or Burlington
will now apply also to Cumberland.
The second class has a population
between IL, 600 and 100, 900, and they
were Paterson, Camden, Trenton, Ho-
boken, Elizabeth, Orange, New Bruins
wick, Bayonne, Passaic, Plainfield,
Perth Amboy and Bridgeton. To these
must now be AIDED East Orange; Mont
clair, Union Hill, and West H0boken,
and Paterson and Camden go up to
first class.
Not only will these new recruits in
the classes have to look out fer new
legislation, but they will find that
many of the existing laws will affect
them, and not always acceptably.
1t would not be amiss if the Legis-
lature would amend the classification
act next winter, to- prevent the radical
changes which the existing statutes
may make in many municipalities.

The population of the.Congressional
districts, as given in the Official
Congressional Directory, have bsen
changed, at least so far as New
Jersey is concerned, to conform to
the State census of 1885. Any COM
putation made ON the basis oflthe
population as given there should have
its figures changed to the census of
1890 for comparison with other States.

The Court of Errors and Appeals,
in session at Trenton ON Monday,
rendered a number of decisions on i'm
portant cases.
One of the most important decisions
was that affecting the legality of sub
stituting salary system instead of a
fee system in county offices, such as
surrogate, register and clerk. This
question the unanimous vote of the
Court settles beyond dispute in New
Jersey. A test case was recently
brought by the Hudson County Free
holders in the. Supreme Court. The
act was declared constitutional, and
the applicants claim for fees denied.
An opinion was read by Justice Van
SICKLE holding the Martin act to be
constitutional and deed given under
it to be good and sufficient title to
property. The action of the Supreme
Court in a case, holding that the
Martin act sale of lands creates good
title, was affirmed by vote of twelve
judges

The punishment meeted out last
week to the parties found guilty of
illegal liquor selling had salutary
effect, for last Sunday the town was
quieter in this respect than for some
time back.
Parties who usually sell whiskey,
hard cider, etc, on Sunday, while
they did not entirely stop business,
exercised good deal of care about
selling to parties who were unknown
to them. If those who live near such
places, and who are annoyed by this
Illicit traffic, would present the neces-
sary evidence to the courts, it might
be entirely done away with, provided
our town police manifest proper
vigilance with regard to the matters.

held oD Saturday night, charges were
preferred against Walter McAlister, of
Paterson, a member of the lodge and
now prisoner in the Passaic County
Jail under indictment for being con-
lTected with the recent murder OF
Jennie Bosschieter The charge was
for conduct unbecoming Mason, and
immortality.
Instead of the Free Masons taking
the part of McAlister, as has been
rumored, that organization has actual
ly preferred charges against him. The
fraternity is not even waiting to- see
whether or not their recreant brother
is legally convicted. The simple fact
of his having his name contested
with such an Infamous affair is re-
garded as sufficient to bring disrepute
on the order, and so the lodge has
taken the first step toward expulsion.
