At Bangor, NJ, recently, bright lit
Tie fellow named Harry Donnelly, be-
tween six and seven years of age, while
at play met with n terrible, and proba-
bly, fatal accident. Harry was sliding
backward on u sled, in the rear of the
house, holding in his hand a pointed
instrument about two feet long, and
called in foundries n 'vent wire" In
attempting to make his sled go little
faster, the boy in some way dropped

point pierced the lower part of his back
on the right side, and came out on the
right side of the abdomen, the wire pass
ing entirely through and impaling the

THE CAUSE OF IT.

Dom Plat has been studying the merits Of the
quarrel between the two wings Of the Republican
party. His conclusions are forcible. According
to Plat the fight has It's origin in the simple fact
that the Republican party ia based on official
patronage and sustained on 1t:
Flrst-The use Of patronage to hold patty to.
gether means Its distribution among the leaders.
The President has his personal following, the
leaders each have theirs, and each has to be re-
spected or the machine fails and the party falls
to pieces
Segond-The Senators are to the President what
the Barons Of England were to the King. The
retalners Of the BarOns made up the army OF the
kingdom, and unless each Baron was awarded
his share Of the plunder the army dstintegrated.
Third-The only issue presented is involved In
the question as to whether the system Of use or
abuse Of patronage shall be sustained.
Fourth-If sustained, the country is gone. II
not sustained, the Republican party goes to
pieces.
We need not elaborate upon Mr.. PIatts four
propositions.
