If there ever was any question in the
minds of informed persons as to where
credit belonged for recovering to this
county something like $500 to $500 a
year for maintaining insane patients in our
county institution from 1890 to date, and
the recovery of Sc, $50 in lump two
months ago, the action of the Board Of
Chosen Freeholders last Thursday in paying
lawyer Swackhamer $500 for services
in that case, answers the query.
Steward Weatherby told the committee
that in 1888 he informed the Board of the
fact that money was due the county for such
maintenance and committee that inves-
tigated the matter reported back that the
county had no claim. When Democratic
Board was elected in 1890 he renewed his
statement to them. The action taken re-
suited in an acknowledgment of the justice
of the county's claim and the prompt pay
ment Of about 500 for six months main
tenance, and from that date So per week
has come into the county treasury for each
inmate of our county hospital. The sum
of 81, 140 accruing from 1873 to 1890, the
State Comptroller, backed by the opinion
of the Attorney General, refused to pay be-
cause the county had SO long rested on its
rights that the claim was outlawed Mr..
Swackhamer advised the Board that in his
opinion the amount could be collected, and
the Board instructed him to proceed. The
result has justified his opinion of thirteen
years ago. and the Board of Freeholders
honored themselves by giving credit where
credit was due, and voting fair compensa-
tion to one who had SO successfully fought
the county's battle.

Sir Thomas Upton, the truest of English

she was handled by Captain Barr and his
assistants. Sir Thomas has made noble

Last Legislatures csrelessness

The further investigation goes the more
glaring becomes evidences of carelessness-
intentional or unintentional-of the last
legislature in law-making. Probably no
other legislature in the States history has
manifested its carelessness or disregard of
duty as evidenced by recent reports of the
impotency of statutes for one session. II
can scarcely be possible that the complaints
are all due TO serrors y If the nullifed
laws are all due to ignorance, new set of
Legislators should be sent to Trenton. Men
are selected to make laws, not to monkey
with legislation.
