tuition have steadily held TO the opinion that
any change which would GUST them must be
for the worse Tho Republicans, who TO-
tanned control Of the Legislature for another
year, presented some patchcd-up expedients,
but blulIcd off everything TINT looked like
giving the Democrats n fair deal; and they
were beaten, as they deserved to be, at the
next election.
The Democrats regained control Of the
Legislature in 1877, for the first time since
1870. The keynote of their canvasses for
years had been opposition to legislative
commissions and other partisan legislation.
But, instead Of remcdying the errors Of
their opponents, they copied them. They
too. pretended to amend tho laws regu-
lating municipal government, but thor
efforts were mainly addressed TO getting
Republicans out and putting Democrats in,
and in gerrymandcrlng the legislative dis
trcts anew.
The New Jersey Supreme Court and Court
OF Errors and Appeals have been haunted
by these two sets OF political frce-lunch
grabbers ever since the adoption Of the
constitutional amendments; and IL Is 70 the
credit Of those courts that they have "a. AL

decision of the prepostcrous pleas thus
raised has cos, the people Of the state many
thousands Of dollars.
The Sun has repeatedly urged each party
as IL came into power to give effect TO the
constitutional requirements by passing a
general law for the government Of cities,
and thus make those who had crowded
themselves into. inside positions stoud
back and give the people n chance. But
they were too greedy to listen, and each set
in turn have been kicked out by tho people.
The taxes In New Jersey cities in the mean
time have risen enormously. Some OF the
cities are bankrupt. Will the Republicans
bar out the lree-lunch grabbers now, when
there is little left but bones

Not an Angelic Angel.

There is once in whilo crime which
appears 70 grow out OF IN innate depravity
Of nature, and 10 be unrolicved by any miti-
eating circumstances. Such was the offence
Of ANGEL, the misnamcd, tho faithl6s
officer Of tho Pullman Car Company, who
was recently captured in Portugal and is 20
be delivered up, as an net Of international
courtesy. by the Portuguese authorities.
This man stole large suiu OF money, out
right, merely for the sake Of the acquisition.
He showed himself simple thief, who stole
for the sake Of what he stole
In most cases Of defalcation by educated
men the offence has begun in weakness in
desire TO cover the losses Of some unfor-
tunate speculation, or in yielding 10 some
overmastering temptation to speculate, and
with the intention Of subsequently, making
good the amount distracted.
In ANGELES case nothing OF this kind APP
pears. He seems to have descended, know
ingly, deliberately, wiliully, at one step.
from the position Of gent leman 10 that Of
a common and detcstabe thief.
1t is satisfactory to learn that his dis
graceful flight TO Portugal has been in vain
He has not found the immunity he expected
Instead of revealing abroad in his ill-gotten
gains, he returns, loaded with chains and
dishonor, to servo out long and weary
years, an unpitied inmate of n State prison
The sword of justice falls with only mer-
tied severity in his case.

Tho Republicans. once more in complete
control OF the legislative branch OF the
Government OF New Jersey, have another
opportunity to retrieve the many errors into
which they fell in the five years since 1870
during which they retained the legislative
power. As a bare majority will override
the Governors veto, this power, when eNer-
ciscd within constitutional limits, is prac-
tically unlimited in New Jersey. The Re-
publicans now take the relns under circum-
stances that greatly resemble those that
brought about their control Of the State
in 1871. In Jersey City, for instance,
where tho Democrats had lost public con-
hdence by corrupt iobbcry and extrav-
agance, the Republicans elected four out OF
five Assemblymen, and the county went Re-
publican, although there had been II Demo-
cratic majority Of about 5000 at the pre-
ceding general election.
The Republican Legislature then failed TO
realize that their control Of the State re-
suited from the peoples disgust with self
seeking politicians Of the other sort. They
listened 10 the Interested advice Of those
who desired to profit by making municipal
legislative commissions and by gerryman-
dering the legislative districts. The remain
der of the disgraceful record is to be found
in tho calendars of the New Jersey criminal
courts.
The chief purpose in urging the amend
