POINTERS.

When times are good and the wage is big the industrial classes forget all about such times as are flow on us, when work is scarce and the wage is small. Read between the lines this means that the parties in interest should be brisk in times prepare for off seasons. Put your little dollar a week in the Building and Loan

Association for a couple or three years, then you can buy a five-acre lot which, if you go a little way into the country, may have some kind of a shanty on it.

When you have paid for this lot panics won't bother you any more. You will have truck to sell and to keep, potatoes in the cellar and a pig in the pen.

JUDGE LIPPINCOTT'S CHARGE IN HUDSON COUNTY.

If there were more men like Judge Lippincott in the Democratic party of New Jersey the party would not be in the condition which confronts it to-day.

Democratic politicians in New Jersey have been of the most practical kind. They have ignored public sentiment al-

together, an in a way which was at once both high-handed and short-sighted have used the State to serve the most unholy purposes, until finally they received a knock-down blow which has left them in a thoroughly dazed con-

dition.

At the opening of the December term of court in Hudson county Judge Lippincott delivered a vigorous charge to the grand jury. In terse language he told the grand jury that the vicious habit of reconsidering indictments must come to an end, that the secrets of the grand jury room must be preserved and the boasts of lobby members that they could protect offenders must cease. This county, said the Judge, has been the theatre of extensive gambling and fraudulent operations. He advised the jury to investigate the lottery business, policy playing and pool rooms and book-making places for a period of two

years and to indict the offenders. He included the promoters, dealers, can-

vassers and telegraph companies as being equally guilty and equally open to punishment. He promised that if

the Supreme Court should find the race track legislation illegal that he would communicate with the grand jury with a view to preventing future crimes by meting out punishment for past ones.

He called attention to the violation of the law in the expenditure of public moneys in cases where contracts were plainly called for by the statutes, but where the statutes were willfully violated. This, he declared, as well as official corruption in any form, is indictable. In Jersey City officials and contractors have been getting rich by sharing the profits of jobs without going through the formality of advertising for proposals. Judge Lippincott told the grand

jury that it must indict such offenders, as well as those members of municipal boards who, contrary to law and in de-

fiance of it, are engaged in furnishing supplies to the city. He told the grand jury to make its investigations as searching as its power is unlimited, to indict all officials who have squandered the public money and those who have created needless offices, to investigate sinecures and to bring before the court for trial all officials who have reached the legal limit of appropriations either by their votes or executive acts and without regard to their intentions. He promised that the prosecutor and the court would always be ready to assist the grand jury. His straightforward talk to the jury has surprised and delighted the people of New Jersey, who have grown accustomed to seeing the laws violated, the public plucked, and the high officials of the State swayed by a corrupt machine whose record is unrelieved by a single attempt to serve the people and the State. A new Republican Sheriff in Hudson guarantees that the grand jury will not ignore Judge Lippincott's charge. In fact to the high character of the jury the Judge paid a special tribute. Past and present offenders are already shaking in their shoes, and the people are so jubilant that already Judge Lippincott is talked of for Governor.

MR. CARLISLE'S VIEWS. If Secretary Carlisle was as lucid in his views of financial policy as he is clear in statement of the financial con-

dition Congress might derive much benefit and many suggestions of value from his communication. But when in enumerating the various kinds of currency constituting the volume he alludes to

the silver certificates as difficult to keep in circulation, we confess to surprise that a little further on he speaks of having the mints in readiness to coin the bullion on hand into silver dollars

should the contingency arise. The only contingency we can think of would be a scarcity of currency; but he is particu-

lar to state that there is a plethora of money in the centres of trade. He also says that the only reason why the cur-

rency accumulates in the banks is that the business of the country does not draw it outward through the channels

of circulation. He even speaks of the accumulation of money in the banks as an embarrassment to the banks, and an actual source of loss to those institutions.

We cannot very well suppose that an exigent scarcity of currency will in the

near future require the conversion of the bullion into silver dollars. But even if it did, the coin would not circulate, but would be certificated. The cost of that bullion is already in circulation in the form of Treasury notes. In case

the bullion should be coined it would add about two hundred million silver dollars to the currency. Suppose the gain, or seigniorage, to be sixty millions,

so much could be certificated. But that would be to add to the four hundred millions of silver dollars now certificated or liable to be certificated the sum of sixty millions of a currency declared by the Secretary to be difficult to maintain

in circulation. The reason why the silver certificates will not stay out of the Treasury is that they are regarded with distrust, and as they can be paid into the Treasury for customs and other dues they are sent back as fast as they accumulate outside.

The attention of the gentlemen who have represented the Secretary as anxious "to coin the seigniorage" is di-

rected to the fact that the officer does not speak of the seigniorage as of some-

thing awaiting coinage, but as something resulting from coinage. He uses the language of the law, as any wellinformed person might expect, and he says that as it would require the opera-

tion of the Mints about five years to coin the bullion into silver dollars, the seigniorage would be available only as fast as the coinage should proceed. This is correct, and let us hope that no more talk about coining seigniorage will lum-

ber the columns of the newspapers. Unless Congress enacts further laws the bullion can be coined only as fast as dollars may be demanded in redemp-

tion of Treasury notes; and as the Secretary says only about two millions of the notes have been presented for redemption in three years, at least in silver coin, and as we have more than twenty millions of silver dollars provided for purpose of redemption, we do not see how any of the 1890 bullion can be coined for some time to come.

Moreover, as every silver dollar issued is a lien on the gold in the Treasury how can that lien be increased without going from bad to worse? If the pur-

chase of silver created widespread distrust, much more will the coinage of full legal tender silver cause distrust.

We may assume that whatever Congress may do, the President will not regard a further increase of silver currency with favor, and we cannot suppose that the

Secretary expects to ease the money market by adding a pitiful sum of twelve millions yearly to the currency volume. This is what the seigniorage

resulting from the coinage would amount to annually at most. The way

out is through the sale of bonds for gold, by which the gold in the banks will be turned into the Treasury.

Atlantic County Court Sentences.

The December Courts reconvened last week when the following sentences were passed:

Edward Gather, alias the "Black Detective," convicted of assault and

battery upon Minnie Coleman, in Atlantic City; three months in County Jail and costs.

Henry Woolman, convicted of resist-

ing an officer at Egg Harbor City; sen-

tenced to three months in County Jail.

William Thomas and Richard Shim-

mer plead guilty to larceny of a quantity of wearing apparel, property of Richard

Aumick, of Richland, and were sentenced to three months in the County Jail.

Arthur Gorman plead guilty to larceny of a gold watch and chain, property of William Culligan, of Atlantic City, and was sentenced to one year in State prison.

Robert Reese alias David Evans, withdrew his plea of not guilty to assaulting Police Officer Nash in Atlantic City, and took the verdict of guilty by the jury from the Court's charge. He was sentenced to one year in State Prison. Andrew J. Steelman and Larner Steelman, indicted for stealing nets were acquitted through the efforts of Lawyer Harry Wooton, appointed by the Court to defend the accused.

Levi Sooy indicted for assault and battery, who plead guilty to the charge, was fined $1.00 and costs.

The application for a license to sell liquor at Pleasantville was laid over until yesterday, when Court reconvened again. The Brigantine election contest was retried yesterday.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Dec. 23, 1893. MIDWINTER DAYS IN WHITE. Conditions were never before so favorable for retail buyers of Women's Muslin Underwear. Manufacturers have welcomed work on any terms, so it let them keep their organizations intact, and the larger their orders the more willing have they been to make concessions. In Januaries past we have had special sales of Women's Muslin Underwear that became the talk of the country, but none of them in any respect equalled in interest the one prepared for January, 1894. More than THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND garments have been gathered for the beginning of the sale, and other thousands, like snow mountains, will be drifting in as the days go by. Wanamaker's.
