An Opinion Filed.

Chief Justice Depue ON Wednesday
filed the opinion of the court of errors in
the case in which the Jersey City excise
boards act of last winter was declared
unconstitutional The name of the case
was Patrick McArdie and Samuel Dick
inson v. The Mayor and Aldermen of
Jersey City.
In conclusion the Chief Justice said;
Until commissioners are elected pur-
suant to the provisions of the act, there
can be no excise department in the city
to execute any of the provisions of this
statute. y The manner in which
this board is to be established being in
violation of the constitution, the entire
scheme OF legislation embodied in the
act must fail.

Gas Franchise Steal /?

AT this distance there does not seem
to be single redeeming feature in the
scheme at Boonton whereby Republi-
can Council was converted into a "Citi
zen's" combine, that gave fifty-year
franchise to a gas company, without
anything to show for it. The gas COM
pany received the franchise for nothing,
and four years exemption from taxation.
Our impression is chat the courts recent
ly decided such exemption to be illegal.

LETTER TO P. j. WEIGH,
Morristown, N. j.

Dear Sir; Yon buy your horseshoes
and nails: your grandfather, if he was
a blacksmith, made 'em You can't
afford to hammer them out by hand
when you can buy as good, or better
perhaps, readymade to your hand, fol
little more than the cost of the iron.
What do you think of painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and white
lead, and mixing and tinting by hands
and charging his time for work that is
far better-done than he can do it, done
by machinery, done as your horseshoe,
and nails are made.
Mistake isn't?
He is wasting his chance in the world.
There is no better stuff to do business
with than good horseshoes and paint
and no better work than putting them
on. Good horseshoes well put on: It's
the putting 'em on that makes you a
blacksmith no matter who makes EN-.
Who wants to go back to old times,
and make his own horseshoes
Between us two, that painter don't
know how to make good paint--he used
to; but paint has run away from him.
Yours truly,
