Alvah III. Clark.

The Democratic Convention IN the Fourth
District Of New Jersey have rcnoninatcd
ALvAH il. CLARK for Congress. The dis
trict is composed Of the Counties of Somcr-
set, lIunterdon, Sussex, and Warren. 1t is one
Of the Democratic strongholds OF the State.
Mr.. CLARK on the memorable l4th Of June
last, voted for the HARrR1DGE resolution,
which practically sanctioned the Great
Fraud whereby HAYES stole the Presidency
from SAMUEL J. T1LDEN; but, for some
reason. he did not vote either way on tho
BrRCuARD resolution.
BY his course ON this subject we have no
doubt that CLARK misrcprcscnted the opln-
ions and feelings Of the great body of the
Democrats in mis- district.
We are informed that the Greenbackers
and Workingmcn of the district will run n
candidate. They complain of CLARK for
voting against the repeal Of the Resumption
act and in favor Of sustaining HAYEs's veto
of the repeal BILL and for voting against the
Silver bill.
What with his Fraud record, and his
financial record, and with Republican cam
didate in the field. IL looks as il CLARK
would have dusty race

Wedding Out.

However the elections for Congrc--m"n
may terminate this fall il is nearly certain
from the nominations already made. and
tLose which are likely to follow. that about
two-thirds of the next House OF Representa-
tives Will be new members. The I'D stool,
is getting fast weeded out. and the changes
in the South, which usually preserve. it,
representation intact as long a. the MEM
bers are useful, are larger than usual. but
still far less relatively than in the North

accepted by both parties in the Northern
States, has advantages and disadvantages
which are much disputed. 1t respect the
good American principle Of rotation i'm Office,

politicians 70 keep and monopolile power.
More than this. the representative knows
that he is on his good behavior, and that his
future career may depend greatly on the
record he makes during this limited service.
OF course there is another class who will
seek to make the most of present oppor-
tunity, knowing that it will not be- repeated
The argument most used for prolonged
representation by the same member. Is that
under the two-term rule he goes out at the
very time when he is likely to be- most
useful to his constituents. since the first
term is little more than a training school

first glance.
While proper public man necessarily
gains by experience, If he improves his OPP
portunites for knowledge, the tendency Of
late years has been To convert this expert
ence into personal profit. Nearly all the
scandals OF Congress are marked 10y the
names OF old members beginning with the
first great land job, and ending with tho
most recent attempt at plumber. In the
Credit Mobilier every name was familiar to
the public. and nearly every one of them
was recognized Republican leader.
Twenty-Five years ago there was no such
scramble for seats in Congress rs is now
witnessed, when nominating conventions sit
for three or four days, adjourn TO mcotagaiu,
and cast a thousand or more ballots before
getting candidate. The pressure of hard
times has much to do with this pursuit Of
office; but the idea has also got abroad that
Congress is placer, which only needs work
ing to develop fortune. Hence the unusual
anxiety to obtain scat as the short cut o.
ease and enjoyment

The Grant Talk All One way.

IL is Interesting to observe the unanlmity
with which the advocates of the elect ION 81
Gen. GRANT for a third term base their ar
guments in his favor upon the necessity Of
a strong government il is his military
character which, in their opinion, rccom-
mcnds him. His superiority over other can
didatcs Is thus made to rest solcly on the
ground that, If elected, he will he moro
despotic. Socialism, we are told. is TO be
dealt WITH and an iron hand i, needed To
crush Il.
We differ widely from this view We
think all follics como to an end quickest il
left free to run their own course.
Prince BISMARCK deems il cxpcdicnt tn
curtail the already restricted freedom of
the press in Germany, and to prohibit
mec tings in order to prevent the spread Of
socialism. Do we want anything OF that
kind here q? DO we want the liberty If thc
press diminished Do we want the right
freely 70 meet aud to express political
views, no matter OF what complexion. inter-
fercd with
Den Is kEARNEY Is just at this time FUR

our system TO that OF Prince BtsNARCk.
Prosecute KEARNEY and he would at once
become hero and n martyr Lott to HIM
self his power is shor, lived and the people
soon turn in disgust from his vapil talk.
Tho great majority Of sensible. scli-nos-
sesscd Americans neither want GRANT
again nor such an administration ~ his
friends say he would make. The kind OF
strength in an administration which is
really desirable is the strength that comes
from the confidence of the people, and from
the gr eater affection they feel fer The Cow
ernment which interfercs with them the
least.
All the talk for GRANT shows that the
kind of strong government which is cx-
pected of him is BIsMARcK's aud the late
LOUIS NAPoLEoNs kind-of which the less
we have in the United States the better.

/ aide, would he violation Of contract. and
TO stipulatc that such bonds. hereafter
ISSUED, shall be taxed, would only have the
effect either Of making the nation pay n
higher rate Of interest to compensate for the
loss Of the nou-taxablc privilege, or OF throw
ing the bonds entirely into the hands Of
Foreigners. whore they would escape taxation
as certainly rs they do now. TO enact that
owners Of capital should receive neither rent
nor interest would reach only such capi-
tal as could rot go out of the country. All
the rest would fly to n more congcnial cline.
and when the existing fixed capital was
worn out and destroyed. there would be
nothing left to replace It with Men Of
enterprise would find nobody to lend them
the capital they require, and labor. being
without employment, would have to emil
CRATE in pursuit of the capitalist.
Gen. BUTLER goes on to say that lcgisla-
tion for the last sixteen years has been con
tnually in favor Of capital and against en-
tcrprlsc. What legislation he refers To- it is
difficult for us to Imagine. Sixteen years
ago law was pas.cdby Congress by which
paper promises. never yet redeemed, were
made a legal tender in discharge Of debts.
had borrowed gold dollars or bought prop
crty ON credit at gold prices, paid of their
debts in paper at q discount of from ten to
sixty per cent. This clearly was not lcgs-
latiou in favor of capital. Three years ago
several great Western States enacted laws
limiting the profits Of capital invested both
in railroads and In warehouses for grain
and thus took from this capital at n blow
half It's value. All the Eastern States have
had. not only for the past sixteen years. but
for many years before that. laws forbiddmg
capitalists tu receive more thana certain spe-
Gifted guc of interest for money. under pen
atty Of FORGETTING the principal. And by tho
laws of all the States the man trading on Dor
rowod capital pays no taxes on it, but
throws thc burden on the lender. A. TO
legislation i'm respect Of labor, it has always
in THIS country been in favor OF the laboror
and not against him. II he works for cor
poration. he has a claim for his wages
against the shareholders personally. Me-
cuanics have lien for labor and materials
upon the buildings or ships which they aid
o. construct; the employees Of bankrupt
arc paid in full before his other private
creditors got anything and in general,
trades unions take good care that their
members are protected against the rapacity
OF bosses.

more clearly

At the meeting Of the Jersey City Police
Commissioners last evening charges were pre-
ferrcd against officer Michael Dunn 10y Philip

animation II seems that the complainant on the
night Of June 25. while standing within few
yards Of his own house in Congress street.
quietly talking with neighbor. was nccostcd
by Officer Dunn and ordered to 20 home.
Blcum told the officer that he was home. and
requested him to mind his own business. Dunn
repeated his order Tor Blcum To quit the street
and receiving no reply, rushed at Blcum and
sri2sd him violently Nv the throat. In the scuf-
ie both men fell into the gutter. but Dunn rap
idly released himself. and kn"eling upon
Bl,ums breast. clubhcd him. He then raised
Bleum from the ground and dragged and club
bed him To- the station house. although Bcum's
collar bone had been broken and his skull frnr-
turcd in the struggle. The City Physician
directed Rcum's removal To- the hospital.
After his recovery Bleum made n criminal
charge against his assallant. and Dunn was
held in $1,000 bail TO await the action Of the

Some timo ago Mr.. GLADsToNE's admirers
in southern Bulgaria paused long enough in
the work Of butcherng Mussulman women and
children to send the Liberal leader a testmo-
nal expressive OF their gratitude for his efforts
In the cause OF Bulgarian Independence. Mr..
GLADSTONE sensibly replied that they could best
show their appreciation OF his labors by sparing
the Turkish population. or rather what was left
OF IT, That this timely advice has not been
needed is apparent from the unanimous report
OF tho International Consular Commission
which has recently returned from the scene of
these atrocities Tho horrors Of Batak have
been outdone in the vengeance which has been
exacted of the unhappy Ouomans and the
Christians who impiously prefer the rule of the
Sultan to that OF the Car. Scores upon scores Of
pooulous villages have been pilaged and
burned. their male inhabitants murdered, aud
the women and children treated with Il barbarity
too shocking to contemplate Two years ago.
when Bulgarians were the victims. all England
rang with denuncaton. Now. when Moham-
mcdans and Christians alike are sufferers but
one solitary voice is raised in their behalf. and
that more in the way of measured remonsrance
than OF righteous Indignation.

Hayes Helping Conkling.

IL is suggcstcd-nnd we think with much
plausibility-tha in removing the Custom
House officers In this city Mr.. HAYES has
been helping Mr.. CoNKLING. OF course that
is not what he intended to door what the
Secretary of state, who was the real actor
intended to do. The main purpose undoubt-
cdlywas to injurc Mr.. CoNKLING-to cripple
his power in the State OF New York. and, If
possible, prevent his return to the United
states Senate.
But it is now contended that instead Of
producing the effect desired. its operation
will be to strengthen Mr.. CoNKLINo. His
friends will not be less active than they
We're before while the HAYES wing of the
Republican party will be stimulated and
encouraged to make greater efforts to elect
Republican members of Assembly. The
labors Of the HAYES men will nure to the
benefit of Mr.. CoNKL1NG just as much as
those Of his personal supporters; because,
almost beyond a doubt, he will be the Re-
publican nominee for United States Senator
Then the HAYES Republicans, it is expected
will all vote for him.
Thus. curiously enough. the very meas
urcs planned to thwart the ambition of
Mr.. CoNKLING seem likely to minister to it,
There has, indeed, been preached an idea
OF sending Mr.. EvARTs to the United States
Senate in place OF Mr.. CoSKLING. But there
are two obstacles in the way OF that: Mr.
EvARrs does not want the Office, and could
not get it If he did want it,
Meanwhile Mr.. HAYES may be congratu-
lated on the signal failure OF his efforts to
injure Mr.. CoNKLING.
