Politics No Secret Made of
Bitter Fight.

Members of council freely admitted
today a long drawn fight between the
Woodward and Chambers factions is
inevitable From offering olive branches
and denying that any fight was intend
ed, the members of council now are
playing factional politics in the open.
The Chambers faction is the aggres-
sor, while the Woodward faction is, as
yet, on the defensive.
The Chambers faction all but sue

meeting of council yesterday. They
right to appoint the custodian of the
building. because Joseph Shearer. the
present custodian, was active for Cham
bers in the mayoralty contest, and it is
generally expected Woodward will drop
him from the city pay roll when he coca
into office.
Goes Through by One Vote.
The buildings and grounds commit
tee, headed by Alderman James W.
Maddox. and made up of Chambers men,
offered an ordinance making the custo-
dian elective by council instead of by
the buildings and grounds committee.
The mayor appoints the committee, and
therefore controls the election of the
custodian.
The ordinance passed without any
one of the opposition knowing what had
happened. The custodian was to be
elected the first Monday in December.
for a term of two years. at salary of
$500 a year.
Then Mayor Pro TEN. Gambler ruled
that the ordinance would have to be
voted on separately by council and the
aldermanic board, because it looked to
the appropriation of money.
A new vote was taken. Council
adopted the measure by the slight ma
jority of IL to II.
1t is said the Woodward faction has
majority against the measure in the al
dermanic board

Locker Club Fight Resumed.
The charges that the fight over locker
club permits was inspired by politics
were reiterated at the meeting of coun-
ell yesterday.
Alderman John f. McCleland de-
nounced the club of Alderman J. B.
Everett the Metropolitan, as an open
barroom and a place for questionable
women to gather.
He declared that if council would re-
refer the permit to the police commit
tee, he would prove his charges.
Alderman Everett arose and declared
the charges to be false,
Don't slap me in the face. gentle
men" he said. Grant me the per-
nit"

an alderman and make a personal re-

GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE.

NAT HILE the legislative and executive branches of the State
wv government this year are of opposite politics the differ
ences that have arisen between them are not necessarily
partisan. The questions involved in the yetoes acted upon by the
Legislature are bipartisan and on some of these vetoes Demo
Gratis voted with Republicans to override them. In the nature of
things a partisan governor will seek to place a partisan legisla-
tue in the wrong, and vice versa. There have been occasions
when a governor and legislature of the same political party had
the same mutual desire. The Fort administration is in evidence.
But the public is capable of judging the right or wrong in ell such
cases. The more than two-score of vetoes sent in by Governor
Wilson constituted a reproof for the Legislature. Such an act
vas never before performed by a State executive. It was fair
hat the Legislature should testify its sense of this reproof and
let the public determine its justice. In ~selfdefense a statement
vas issued yesterday in which the veto reasons were analysed and
IN many instances shown to be misjudged or based on false
premises. Governor Wilson's reply to this statement avoids the
points presented. 1t charges a partisan motive and reproaches the
Legislature for delaying action on important measures. AS a rule
The evil of legislation lies in hasty and inconsiderate action. De-
liberation On a bill of great Importance to the State, unless it is
I'm emergency measure, should never be hurried and it is always
interrupted and delayed by the other business of the session. The
Governor in his vetoes was ceretainly not without partsanship, for
otherwise some of his objections would not have been as far
fetched as they were. The Legislature in its defense from these
veto attacks only responded in kind, and it was the fault of the
Governor if he left himself exposed to the legislative shafts.

GENERAL FREDERICK D. GRANT.

0S He sudden death of General Frederick D. Grant in New York
Ii is a shock to the country. A few days ago when the story
was circulated that he was in precarious health with a
rnalady similar to that which carried off his illustrious father it was
officially denied. The denial left the public altogether unprepared
for the sad event early this morning. General Grant was born a
soldier, was trained a soldier at West Point and by his own merit
rather than by the prestige Of his name wn rank after rank until
he reached a generalship and the command of the Department of
the East. For him, unlike his father, there were no great oppor-
tunhes to display his abilities and win fame, but his soldierly
qualities, high bearing and strict attention to his duties, together
with his fine traits of character, won for him the respect and afec
ton of his countrymen.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The idea to provide the Juvenile
skaters of Newark with "aisles of
safety is a good one. That the chill
dren, when skating about the different
streets, are running a great risk, is
true. Many times as one walks along
the street an auto will come within an
inch of sending n of the youthful
skaters to the hospital. literally speak
ing. Let the Board of Works set aside
certain streets for the young ones to
skate to their hearts content and be
at ease. knowing that they will not be
hurt by any vehicle. g. NJ. W.

RoLoNdA71oN OF THE LEGISLATIVE sEssno,

cSH HE program of the Legislature for adjournment on a certain
date after cleaning up it's business was incontinently aban-
doned. The Legislature is not yet adjourned and it is not
altogether certain when it will adjourn. The Senate has taken
up bills, some of them of doubtful character, that had been practi.
cally abandoned, and if they are sent to the Governor in all like,
ihood most of them will be vetoed. Does the Legislature intend
to stay in session or take another recess in order to repass the
bills? And are the doors to be thrown open next week for other
bills not yet acted on, and possibly for the introduction of new
bills? 1t would have been we'll if the legislative majority had
stuck to its program.

BETTER OPERATION OF STATE LABOR LAWS.

0a HERE has been a decided improvement in the work of the
State department of labor since the factory fire calamity
on High street aroused the public and the Legislature from
their apathy and caused the strengthening of the factory inspection
law. The evidences of neglect that were seen on every side have
disappeared, factory and other large buildings are well equipped
with freescapes and systems of fire control and fire drill have
been introduced in industrial establishments The progress made
IN these and other respects is shown in the annual report of
the State labor department. Bakeries are more clearly and SAM.
tary, child labor is better regulated and the inspectorial force is
enlarged and does more effective work. In time the operation of
the laws relating to the conditions of labor can be made ideal in
New Jersey.

be the place for It, and not a public

NEW YoRK,s UNpLEDdED DELEGATION.

NV EW YORK sends an unpledged delegation to the Democratic
AM national convention at Baltimore, with four delegates-at-
large thoroughly representative of the party elements in
New York. By the adoption of the unit rule the delegation will
be voted as one man and will therefore, with its ninety delegates,
be a powerful factor in the convention. There was no scandal
attending the election of the New York Democratic delegates.
The State convention yesterday was harmonious and the delega-
ton was left free to act as to the choice of a presidential candi.
date. Contrast this convention with that which was held by
Republicans in Michigan on the same day.
