proved defaulter to a large amount; that
his reelection to the Legislature last Fall was
not favored BY his party organ, The Monmouth
Democrat and was opposed by its Editor,
Major Yard, and by al the respectable and
conscientious elements Of his own party and
chat 1t was secured largely by the claim made
Tor him, and we are NOT sure but by him, that,
II elected, be wonld make money enough in
the Legislature last Winter to pay up all his
indebtedness Take him all Ia all, he is a
beautiful subject for appointment to a respon-
sible position by our Asylum Commissioners.
Would it not be well for Messrs George A.
HaIsey and William g. Lathrop to give to the
public word of explanation? We shall
probably get nothing from the Democratic
members Of the Commission. ~ orristown

II 10 Q noticeable fact that when an indie
pendent paper oran independent politician
commences to give aid and comfort to the
Democratic party, 1t or he gets to be unneces-
sarily tender of the feelings Of those engaged
in the late rebellion. The New York Tribune
gives marked illustration Of this trait in its
reference to " Decoration Day" 1t says
"Decoration Day, besides the flowers and
little flags for tho dead, includes beating of
drums and political speeches. and the idle
population of town or city in delighted fer
ment, and crowds of shouting boys, and a
grand dinner---for the living. The real
mourners often have reason to suspect, too,
that the day and the enthusiasm it inspires
are beginning to be used as capital by small
politicians to serve their own paltry purposes.
There is a universal feeling, too, at the North
that now that the war is over and its object
gained, the sooner it Is forgotten the better !;
or, # We insist on making this day national
observance, is it quite fair to require from
the South a cessation of business in personal
honor to the man who fought against them ? :"
The Tribune editor in the tall tower that
has recently been erected for his occupancy,
evidently sees things from q different stand
point from mortals that keep closer to earth,
but 1t does not follow, (even If il is true as he
asserts, that there rs " universal feeling " at
the North that the war should be forgotten, J
that the loyal people Of the nation also pro-
pose to forget the noble men who laid down
their lives in the defense of the Union.
We do not believe in keeping up the rancor
and ill-feeling engendered by the war 1--WE are
10 favor of forgiving the wrong that armed
rebellion has done to our nation, our homes
and Rresides, and in Getting by-gones be by
cones" But to ask US to treat with neglect
the memory of those who were faithful unto
death, because it is rasping to the sensibilities
of those against whom thsy fought, is to ask
pste offer premium to the wrouc-doer and
treat with contempt and ingratitude those
who fought for the true and the right.

! LrvEs Lost. THE most horrible disaster in
the history of Holyoke, Mass, occurred on
Thursday In the burning Of the French Catho-
lie church at South Holyoke, during the even
ing service, involving the loss Of sixty-six
men, women, and children. The exercises
had nearly closed, q vcsper service was being
sung. when the draperies on the altar caught
fire from candle, and the wall being low,
and the flames streaming up, the building
was set on IRE. The audience numbered
about seven hundred. The people in the
body Of the church escaped, but on the stair
way leading from the gallery human beings
were packed In dense mass, struggling to
escape as the flames rushed towards them.
Many leaped TO the floor beneath and were
trampled to death. The gallery skirted both
sides Of the building, with only one entrance
from the front. The scene was fearful IN the
extreme during the little while it lasted, for
the whole was over In twenty minutes. Be-
sides sixty-eight dead there are enough fatally
wounded TO carry the total loss Of life up to
seventy-five. ssasN
