The supplemental appropriation bill,

night, contains an item appropriatine

county many years, and the taxpayers are

A Business Story in McClure's. One of SO
BY q New Author.

A irst-class business story is s'The
Scheme Of Sutcliffe, Swindler,o by VIM
Hamilton Osborn, in the April MeCzare's s.
The author is a young lawyer in Newark,
N. j., who began writing short stories fol
amusement about year ago. Since then
he has written over fifty, most Of which be
is said to have succeeded in selling. II
this is true, the question evidently is moi
which magazines have turned Mr.. Osborn
down, but which Mr. Osborn has turned
the cold shoulder to.

When the Swapping up boys are en-
abled to organize so effectively as to cause
the suspension of work in glass factories,
as is the case at Clayton, the boy is likely
to be subject of concern outside the

The fact that all laws should BIO give

The fact that all laws should DO given
publicity through the newspapers, is fully
demonstrated by the State authorities every
once in while sending out items to be
published as news, relating to the passage
of some law that they want the public in
formed Of. They look to the newspapers to
disseminate this information. They know
that no other means can be used to so effect
ually inform the people as through the
newspapers. They are perfectly correct in
their conclusions, but they should remem-
Der that the newspapers Of New Jersey are
private enterprises, and are neither support
ed by the State treasury nor by charity, and
when they want to use the columns Of these
newspapers to give publicity to an act Of
the Legislature, they should in all honor
pay for the same. These remarks are called
forth from the fact that we have received a
notice from one of the State Departments.
calling our attention to the fact that the
Governor had signed certain bill, which
w III nO ttOuOu 0CuCnO uAOoC 1OA WYNN ~ Voc
passed.
Just as long as the newspapers of New
Jersey rest quietly under the charge that
was made against them by former Gov
ernor Foster NJ Voorhees,, which placed
them on level with all that was corrupt
and dishonest; just as long as the news
papers remain unvindicated from these
charges which eliminated in the Legisla-
ture, at former Governor Voorhees, de-
nand, stating by their act that the news
papers had been receiving blood money
through the publication of the laws for
years, just so long do we say to the public
that for such information the State,
through the grace of Foster M. Voorhees,,
has provided for the publication Of fifteen
thousand copies of the laws of each session
of the Legislature, whereby to inform its
1888, $50 citizens of the acts of its legisla-
ture.
We would again say to our readers that
if they are among the first fifteen thousand
who apply to the Custodian of the State
House, Trenton, n. j., they may get a
copy of the laws free of charge. The next
one above fifteen thousand would have to
go to the booksellers, and pay about five
dollars per volume. A feature for our
readers to think about is that since the acts
of the Legislature, and its appropriations
have been taken from the public by stop
ping their publication in the newspapers,
the annual appropriations have jumped
from million and half dollars to over
five million dollars And all inside of hal
dozen years. Hunterdon Co. Democrat.

NEGLECT AFTER OBSTRUCTION.

1t is the custom in this town to give builders
the use of about all the street space they care
TO occupy in front Of the lot on which they are
at work Perhaps a revision of the rules or
practice in respect to this matter is impracti-
cable in New York. though such degree of OBJ
strlction would not be tolerated in European
cities Of the first rank and would probably be
regarded as intoerabe here IL the question
were now presented for the first time. But,
however that may be, it is undeniable that
when work of construction or reconstruction
has been finished the essential conditions Of
convenience and safety ought to be promptly
restored in front of the premises
Yet it is a common thing to see the surface of
a street which has been ruined in the course of
building operations left unrepaired for a long
time. A conspicuous example of this neglect is
now visible in a narrow street in the lower part
Of the city, where large building was completed
some months ago. During all the time while It
was going up large part Of the street before it
was Of course used for the delivery and storage
Of material which cut up the asphalt pavement.
At last the full width of the street is again
available for ordinary uses. but the riffs and
chasms remain as the builders left them. The
consequence is that teams are stalled and
wheels are broken day after day, and thus far
there is no sign of an intention on the part of
anybody to put the street in order. Presumably
there can be no dispute as to the responsibility
for the cost OF repairs. The law in such a case
must be we'll established, and somebody is
much to blame for neglecting to do the neces-
sary work. If this were isolated instance
there would be good reason to complain but it
is merely a sample of what continually occurs
in all parts Of the city 1t is an abuse to which
official attention evidently needs to be sharply
called.

THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.

The District Attorneys office is working with
all speed to carry its investigation of the Tam
many Dock Department scandals to the point Of
securing indictments before the statute Of limi-
fations intervenes to give the "grafters' i'm
munity. AT several points in the investigation
into the Postofice irregularities there have been
suggestions that persons implicated were pro-
tected from prosecution by the statute of liIni-
1ations.
This situation emphasizes the necessity OF
promptness in following up suspicion Of official
wrongdoing In this city, where rumors were
rife that the Dock Board under Tammany had
been corrupt, the matter was allowed to hang
fire to an extent which the present officials
must regret now that they find there was so
much reason for those rumOrs and realize how
little margin of time they have in which to in
vestigate and make punishment possible. For
long time The Tribune has been endeavoring
TO bring these charges to head, and the pres
ent prospect of success just in the nick of time
IS largely due TO its urgency.
A still more important question suggested by
this situation is whether or not there should be
any statute OF limitations for official crimes.
At least, should the time limit for prosecutions
be short in the case Of unofficial offend
ers? The United States law is based on a right
principle when it suspends the statute of Hmi-
his continuance in office is able TO cover up his
offence 1t would be in many ways a sound
rule which would reckon the time within which
an Indictment must be brought not from the
date of the actual offence, but from the end of
the official life of the offender. The present
rule here In many cases is a great safeguard
20 official wrongdoing The officer with fairly
dong term before him, and in control Of the
sources of information, is able TO violate the
law with confidence. knowing that If he can
keep the matter secret for little time he is
safe. AS long as he is in power, with favors
10 give, he can count On his confederates not
making revelations. 1t is only when he is out
of office that there is a fair chance TO pass upon
his conduct, and certainly public interest re-
quires that there should be some such account
ability, with ample opportunity to punish the
official who betrays his trust
A good natured feeling is abroad that # is
hard TO go back TO ancient history" and pun
Ssh the 'grafters" of an administration which
has been expelled from power some time before.
But unless we do go back TO ancient history
we invite unfaithfulness on the part of our ser
wants. All punishment of crime means raking
up history more or less ancient We punish
criminals not for what they are about to do in
the future but for what they have done in the
past. We punish past misdeeds not in ghoulish
yfndictiveness, but as Il warning 10 those who
may in the future DE tempted to the same
crimes IT is necessary for small offences to
wipe clean the slate after 4 time. That avoids
jnettE blackmail aud does substantial justice TO
New-York tribune., 1903-07-06

Slays here. The number IN the whole United
States born in the Slav producing countries,
Austria, Bohemia. Hungary, Rumania and Rus
sia, was only 1021931. If we add the number
of those born in this country of Slav parents
we shall still have a total probably not more
than one-teath as great as that claimed by the
"Glas Naroda."
Coming down to New-York City, in which we
are told that more than 100000 Slavs are to
be found, it is TO be observed that in 1900 the
total foreign born population was only 1,27O,OSO,
and the number native born of foreign parents
only 1871 ,503 Considering how vastly the Ger
mans and Irish outnumber the Slavs, it is in
conceivable that these numbers should include
anything like 100000 of the last named. In
fact, the total number of persons in New-York
