THE New Era is disposed to regard all
attempts of the forty or fifty thousand
independent Republicans in this state to
cooperate with the four hundred thou
sand Democrats in securing political re-
form as ''abarren ideality, because once
in the editors experience Democrats
elected as Independents had no great
exigency requiring them to show that
they remained Democrats, and in one or
instances "enOugh Democratic votes
were cOrruptly secured to balance the
independent Republicans who went out
side the party lines : and the result was
triumph of the bosses, who shared the
spoils irrespective Of party" There
fore the New Era would rather main
tain a losing fight within the party than
venture outside Of it to effect political re-
form. 1t is true that independent Repub-
licans who supported Buckalew and
Wolfe have reason to complain Of the
bad faith of a small number of corrupt
men, calling themselves Democrats, who
sold themselves to the opposition bit
they were very small element, however
dangerous, of the Democracy, and the
great mass of its organization have
acted in good faith iii supporting Repub-
lcan or Independent tickets and III their
nominees carrying out Independent
principles when elected to represent
them. The experience of Philadelphia
has demonstrated the efficiency and
practicability Of the.fuson of honest Re
publicans and the great mass of the De-
mocracy for political reform, as witness
the election and official behavior of
King, C;iyen, Hunter and Pattison in
Philadelphia.

Judge Smell Getsa New Title from nm
Irrcverent Prisoner.

In the Police Court to-day Judge Smell
had rather breezy customer to deal with
in the person of one Clark, who had both
his legs shot off during the civil war, and
who is the recipient of very large pension.
1t is said that what part of the pension Clark
does not spend for whisky he pays over to
Judge Smell in fines for disorderly con-
duct. He was brought up to-day
for the same offense, and the frequent
conferences, in no very gentle tones,
between him and the court was as good as
circus. When the policeman who ar
rested him was describing his offcnsc, Clark,
who was defiantly propped up on his
crutches in the dock, bawled out, "Hc's a
liar and the truth amt in him." BE
SILENT" said His Honor or I'll fine you
for contempt" "Fine and be id, you
old mutton head; have paid this old She
bang enough fines and am going to Jail
this time,' replied the prisoner. "Put him
down for thirty days" quoth the court.
"You go to the ID or down East, where
you belong" yelled Mr.. Clark. "Nobody
wants you in Washington" The bailiff
here seized upon Clark and bore him off,
vocifcrating anathemas ON the court and
police force, to the cells below. The Court
did not recover his natural color for a half
hour afterward, so much had his ire been
wrought up by the encounter.

Held for Libel,

Rowland & Mason, against Bruce and
Lacy, the colored journalists, was continued
to-day before Judge Smell. The case origi-
mated, it will be remembered, in an article
published in the Item, describing the break
ing Of the jaw of man named Joyce by
this firm of dentists, and applying to them
the questionable complimentary epithets of
community managers" murderous scoun-
drels," etc. Mr.. Stilson, who appeared for
the defendants, offered evidence to prove
the truth of u portion of the article, but
Judge Smell decided that the terms scoun-
drels and quacks applied to the dentists
were libelious, and the case was referred
to the grand jury on $500 bonds, which were
promptly furnished.
