Signs One Resolution.

In attaching his signature to the resolu-
tion asking the representatives from Pot
tawattamte county to secure IL possible the
enactment of an amendment to the present
law to enable the payment of preliminary
expenses attendant on the purchase or con-
struction of a municipal water works plant
by the city out of the sinking fund, Mayor
Maloney suggested certain changes in the
draft of the bill, and these were concurred
in by the council.
Although the meeting was called spe-
cially to discuss the resolutions relating
to the bond issue, the council took up the
matter OF the complaint of C.. A. Chapman
of Cook avenue against City Scavenger
Dobson. Chapman, 1t TRANSFERRED, had en-
deavored to get a cesspool cleaned for the
last three months without success. He had
appealed to members of the council, the
Board OF Health and other authorities
without result. After more or less discus
sion the city clerk was instructed to notify
Dobson that his license would be revoked
unless he attended to the matter without
further unnecessary delay.
The council then adjourned to the regular
meeting Monday, January 4.

Maker of Paradise and Hell-Thou the Infinite
and have said the glory of Thy throne shone
more refulgent, the music of celestial joy
sweeter for the cry of anguish and the sobs
OF pain which and reached the heartless
happiness of the blest. In Thy name men have
trampled into the mire the sweet earth with
blood-touched with fingers of hate every
nerve of pain-vioaed every holy human right
cur sed the world with every G. inc, and in Thy
name. Listening for Thy unspoaking voice
men have been needless of the Cr.' Of a suf-

lowing Thee, they have gone astray-servng

Newarker Wants Counties to

Especial to the Evening star.l

TRENTON. Feb. 14.-Former GOV
ernor Edward c.. Stokes and Colonel
Nelson Y. DUNCAN, of Somerville. do
not agree with Chandler w. Riker, OF
Newark, their associate on the COM
mission named by Governor John
Franklin Fort, to revise the primary
and election laws.
Mr.. Riker, who is understood to share
the views of Governor Fort. is dis
posed to favor the introduction of the
direct primary system in the choice of
delegates. Mr.. Stokes and Colonel Dun
gan, although not positively commit
ting themselves to any course Of ac-
ton, argued hat in view OF the issu-
ing of the calls for the national o
ventions, serious complications would
likely follow any attempt to adopt Ii
direct primary method for the owen
lions this year. In the formal discus
sion yesterday Mr.. Riker favored the
plan of having the counties instruct
their delegates as to the persons for
whom the Jersey delegates to the ma
tional convention should vote for Prssi-
dent and N1ce-Presiden
Mr.. Stokes and Colonel DUNCAN sacf
thought that this proposition was M
practicable, as the expression Of 'ne
voters would pledge the delegates tc
State conventions to vote for delegates
to the national convention, who in tur.
should be pledged to vote for one ol
another of the Presidential or Vice
Presidential candidates. Colonel Dun
gan was deputized to draft a primary
bill applicable to The selection of ma.
tional delegates. which will be consi5'
cred by the commission next Tuesday.
