Gen'i Butler Defeated.

In the nomination for The Govern or
ship of Massachusetts,, Gcn1 Butler is
defeated by Gov. Washburn.
The back pay milestone about But,
ler's neck was too ponderous load.
and deeming discretion the better part
of valor. he withdrew his name from
the convention. making a very sensible
speech, acknowledging his iaalsy to
the Republican party, and spponding
his name with others to the resolution
denouncing the increase Of salary bill,
Butler IS a cunain; man. with nerve
equal to the muscle Of a Hercules.
His brazen impudence almost commands
respect. His withdrawal, and acknowl-
edged fealty to party has discounted
the opposition who had hoped to see
the Lion whom they hate, feast upon
the slaughtered hosts of dismembered
party for whom, if possible, they have
a deeper hate. But they are disap-
pointed. Butler doesn't kick the
traces, but pulls taut trace, though
he will undoubtedly be ready to fly the
track jus. SO soon as a favorable oppor-
tunity offers, with fair hopes Of success.
The opposition in the meantime are
looking on, hoping, hoping.

John ". Coon, widely known as
a sporting man, died, recently in Chi
cage, of Cerebro Spinal Meningitis.
We can remember when Mr.. Coon was
feted and plouded for his wonderful ac-
complishments with the cue, upon the
field Of green. He has gone, and
though he will be remembered for a
time, he will soon be forgotten. He
was genial, pleasant com panion, but
his life is failure. He lived only for
to-day" as is the case with scores of
his boon companion known only in the
little circle Of the sporting world. The
following we clip from the Sentinel,
which we commend for its excellent
wisdom:
Ii the funeral Of John W. Coon.
the professional biliiardist, from the
Central Hotel, Chicago, yesterday,
had any peculiar or significant feature.
it was the address Of the officiating
clergyman in which he spoke Of the
distance which unfortunately exists
between the people Of protested relig-
ious habits and the so-called people OF
the world. Referring to amusements
he gave some sensible advice to the
friends Of Coon which, it is sincerely
hoped, they may be able to reduce to
some sort Of practice, and which if ex-
tensively practiced would vastly im-
prove majority Of the men who now
spend much Of both time and money
to their own personal disadvantages
viz: Seek to elevate and purify
amusements. Separate them wholly
from gambling. Any amusement that
cannot live without this additional slim
ulant ought not to live Separate from
them the constant temptation to excess
sive drinking. What men need is en-
JoymeM, not excitement. but many
lnIstaking the one for the other, or
thinking that excitement aad stimula-
ton are the only way to enjoyment are
rapidly wearing out their lives, which
at best are but to short Garry honor,
high manhood, religion into amuse-
ments, and if this cannot be done then
give them up. for no man can afford to
pursue auy course which stands be-
tween him and / good life"

The fine weather on Saturday in
duced a large number of people to go
abroad. The streets presented an ami
mated spectacle, all classes of society
being out on business or pleasure.
Tradesmen were gratified by the calls
of prosperous customers. Sales are
now generally conducted on solid
basis. Many merchants and shop
keepers, having taken lessons of an ex-
pensive teacher, Experience, decline
to open new accounts. Old customers,
who are considered "good as gold," or
fine wheat" being ever ready to pay
the amount of bill on sight, settle
monthly or quarterly, according to sti-
pulation. As rule, dealers expect to
be paid at the end of the month. The
day of long settlements, and high prices
in consequence, has long gone by,
never, we hope, to return to tax prompt
paying customers. For it was part of
the old time system of doing business
that somebody must make good all losses
caused by unfortunate or dishonest
patrons. When the good time comes
may it come speedily Everybody will
pay for merchandise on delivery.
Then, and not before, can tradesmen
afford to sell at small profit.

The shocking fate of young Hockney,
who lost his life on the Pennsylvania
railroad, near this city, while stealing a
ride on one of its cars, should be seri-
GUS warning to youth who daily amuse
themselves in this interesting, though
dangerous, pastime. Reckless boys
hourly catch on passing trains, to the
annoyance of railroad officials, and the
peril of limbs and life. We like dearly
to see young gentlemen amuse them
selves, but they have no right to risk
their necks in foolhardy feats. Passers-
by are often startled at seeing diminu-
tive specimens of humanity cling to
swiftly moving trains, as they pass the
various railroad crossings, with a favor
able prospect of being knocked under
the ponderous wheels. Let the boys
be made to keep away from the cars,
where they have no business. If ur-
chins will persist in their dangerous
tricks, it will teach them salutary les
son to bring them promptly before a
magistrate to be dealt with as wise
law directs.

THE dull times are sadly depressing
to the spirits of festive youth. 1t has
not been a good season for picnics, ex-
cursions, balls or parties. A year ago,
in hopes of making a few votes, some OF
our prominent cirizens would buy hat
full of tickets of every enterprising par
ty who proposed to get up an entertain
ment. 1t is trite remark, perhaps,
but politicians are not always ready to
respond when patriots pass around the
hat. The office-seekers were squeezed
awfully hard last year, and no office
holder of our acquaintance will invest
dollar to save fire company or other
association from bankruptcy. One thing
is very plain those who wish to dance
nowadays will be obliged to pay the
fiddler, as our office-holding and office
seeking fellow citizens really cannot af-
ford to "come down handsomely" every
time committee of bummers hold out
their dirty palms. SM1KE.

FILTHY CONDITION OF THE HORSE


Editor Of The Daily Monitor:
Why not raise your voice for re-
form in the line of cleanliness in our
city horse cars ? They are in most
filthy and abominable condition. No
lady can ride in them without destroy
ing her garments and being almost
sulfocated by dust. It would seem that
soap and water were scarcer than green
backs, and as for brooms they are at a
premium on this line. In the whole of
my experience L have never seen horse
cars in such dirty and .flthy condition.
The cushions on the seats are in a most
dilapidated and careless position. /
actually saw gentleman catch feas in
one of the cars last week, and if things
are allowed to go on in the negligent
manner they are now in, who knows
what other kinds of animals one may
catch in them. Let there be reform
at once in this respect by the Elizabeth
and Newark Horse Railroad Company.

THE Saviour's declaration, elf 1 be
lifted up, will draw all men unto
me-" was the text of Rev. DIR. Mont
gomery's sermon at Trinity (EpiscopaD
church last evening. A large congrega-
ton listened very attentively as he adj
mirably illustrated the triumphs of the
cross. 1t was said that the affecting
story of q crucified Saviour was being
proclaimed in all lands, and mems hearts
were attracted unto him more rapidly
than at any former period since he suf-
fered to expiate the sins of the world.
The boundless love Of God was set forth
with an earnestness which, it is to be
hoped, will be the means OF winning some
souls to the Masters service. Besides
the imprisoned preacher, and the rec
tor of Trinity, two clergymen, whose
names we failed to learn, participated
in the services. The fine music at this
church is source of exquisite pleasure
to many worshipers.

Company G, Captain James ". Hill,
arrived from Keyport, at nine o'clock
this morning, as the guests of Company
A. The weather was stormy, but the
boys were determined to visit Elizabeth,
in order not to disappoint their friends
in Company A. The visitors were en-
tGrtained at breakfast at Arnold's hall,
and at noon they are to be banquetted
at the same place.
The target practice was postponed,
owing to the rain. The Keyport boys
will return on the steamer Mattawan at
four o'clock this afternoon.

THOMAS Gleason, thought to be from
Newark, jumped from the Washington
train last evening, at the risk of his life.
He asked Officer Bickel to lock him up,
which he did. On being taken to the
station house and searched, no money
was found in his possession, but this
morning, when an officer went to look
after him, it was found that he had
chewed up fifty-one dollars. He gave
as reason for his strange conduct that
"they" were after him, and that he did
not want them" to catch him.
The poor fellow was laboring under
the effects of an attack of delirium
tremens, and will be kept locked up
until his condition improves. Newark
rum has poor effect on people.

dy shoes, and travel stained uniforms.

OCTOBER has proved itself the most
pleasant month of the year. With a
trifing exception the weather has been
delightful for the past four weeks. 1t
has been exhilarating in high degree,
and fortunate indeed were those who
were able daily to go forth to enjoy its
refreshing influences. 10 the delicate

October been month promotive of Joy

which the poet sings are, we fervently
hope, after off. All who remember how
cold storms and biting frosts pinch the

cruel Winter will long delay its adj

WHEN few more of our wealthy citi-
zens are ruined by dabbling in fancy
stocks they will arrive at the conclusion
that many sensible people assented to a
long time ago. One of New Jerseys
shrewdest men, with whom it was our
good fortune to be intimate few years
since, assured us that the experience of
a long and busy life had demonstrated
to his satisfaction, that the safest and
most profitable investment of capital
was to loan it on first class property, or
invest it in real estate in localities where
the progress of improvements would
certainly enhance its value. This man
proved his faith by his works, for he
owned some of the finest blocks of build
ings in Trenton, and loaned immense
sums on bond and mortgage to property
owners residing in Mercer county. The
rapid increase in value of his real estate,
and the certainty of prompt payment OF
the interest due on his investments,
proved the accuracy of his judgment.
The defalcation of bank officials, or
failure of stocks based on moonbeams,
never disturbed his serenity. He had
the proud consciousness of knowing that
his wealth was useful to his fellow citi-
zens, while their enterprises necessarily
added to the value of his real estate.

IT was moist, this morning. Very.
In fact, the moisture came down in
showers, which lively wind blew into
the faces of newspaper men, news boys,
butchers, bakers, and other unhappy
mortals whom duty compelled to go
abroad. In long walk, we failed to
see single person on pleasure bent.
If happiness reigned anywhere, it was
not out of doors. The only signs of
iollity observable, was pleasant bit of
fun between dog and cat, who scratch
ed and bit one another till they were
in an angry frame of mind indeed, as
was evident by their growing. We
made friendly effort to stop the fight,
by hurting boulder at their heads, but
our good intention proved futile, as the
missible flew wide Of the mark, and Just
missed window in an adjacent house.
And then we came away.
