which is a shadow of reform. 1t was
proposed to leave that classification to
the President and the State Department,
which best knows the condition and
needs of the service but the Senate
wouldn't stand for that. Ne'ther woald
the House. The Secretary of State
might know the needs and conditions of
the service. but he didn't know. and
couldn't be trusted to recognize the polit=
ical and personal merits and claims of
the Ccnsuls So the Senate made its
own classification. Congress did leave
enough of the original bill to provide for
FIVE inspectors of consulates, at 5000 a
year each, but as that means so much
patronage it was not to be expected that
it would be objected to. 1t also left one
good provision, prohibiting the employ
ment Of any but Americans in positions
paying 81 600 year or more, which will
take away the stigma Of the United
States being represented, in the absence
of Consuls, by native clerks. It requires,
too, in one of the surviving sections of
the bill, that Consuls exercising judicial
functions in countries where the United
States exercises extra-territorial juris-
dsction. shall pass an examination prov
ing that they know something of judicial
procedure and law.
!. And that is about the limit of consular
reform for this year The consular re
formers had a silly idea that in making
the classification and fixing salaries, the
places should be graded somewhat in ac-
cordance with the business transacted by
the consulate,, and the money it paid
into the treasury in fees. That was the
principal reason the Senate made its
own classification. Such plan might
have sgt down the salaries of political
proteges, whose offices were largely sine
cures. They took care that these were
not hurt. In their classification, for in

TRENTON, Mar. 22. 19O6.-Aesem-
blyman Calvin, of Jersey City, gave his
colleagues another surprise yesterday af-
ternoon when he introduced another Fa-
gan wing clipper His latest GiIl abol-
ishes the Excise Board in Jersey City,
appointed by Mayor Pagan. and places
the power of granting licenses in the
Board of Aldermen. now controlled by
the Diclsinson-Davis combination.
Mayor Pagan was seated in the rear
Of the Hudson delegation when Mr.. Gal
vim introduced the bill. and if it gave
him any concern ne certainly did NOT
show it. He heard the title of the bill
as read by Clerk Parker and then snlil-
ed significantly. as if he realized that ii
was intended TO deprive him of some Of
his powers.
When asked what be thought of tile
Calvin bill, the Mayor said: Il cannot
discuss the matter at this time, because
do not know exactly what the bill pro-
vides, but if it abol.shes the Excise
Board for the purpose of allowing the
Board of Aldermen TO grant liquor IL
eenses, ! should say that ii was bad
bin and should be defeated.
Yes; l heard some time ago that Col
onel Dickinson intended to have such
bill introduced with view of gaining
the favor of the saloon interests, bur oit
behalf Of the present Excise Board can
say that it has never deprived repata-
BILE saloon keeper of his license or inter
fered with his business
Therefore no good reason can be ad-
yanced for its abolition except that tbs
organization except that the organization
ganization want sto make the saloons an
issue in politics and is catering for the
saloonkeepers support.
Mayor Pagan said he would certainly
oppose the Calvin bill and work hard to
accomplish its defeat.
Assemblyman Calvin said that ne
knew nothing about the bill he introduced
except that it provided for the abolition
OF the Excise Board and placing the
power Of granting licenses in the hands
OF the Board of Aldermen. When asked
who drafted the bill and who gave it TO
him, Mr.. Calvin replied that he did not
know who drafted the measure and that
ne could not remember who gave it IN
him. He streuously denied that Colonel
Dickinson was behind the bill or had
anything to do with its introduction.
As far as can learn" said Mr.. Gaq.
vim" the saloonkeepers of JERSEY CITY
want this bill and wal seek its adoption
by the Legislature. They now complain
that they are being bounded by the Fa-
gan Excise Board and believe that Their
interests will be better served BY placing
the power of granting licenses with the
Board of Aldermen who are elected and
stand closer to the people,
