WE RENEW OUR advice to the venerable
Frelinghuysen, to ascertain definitely
whether any of the New York papers
are in the pay of the German Government
before he makes any move for the protec-
tion of Mr.. Hortsman, American citizen
imprisoned in Germany.

IT may be good policy for the Demo-
cratic minority in Congress to obstruet all
public business unless it can dictate what
the majority shall do; but THE CRITIC can
hardly see how such conduct will impress
the people favorably.

THIS MORNING the habitues of the Grim
inal Courtroom were treated TO display
of legal theatricals in the appearance of
Benjamin II. Brewster, in costume of
the period Of Louis the Thirteenth, in man
ner of the period of Lord George Jeffreys
and in character Of the period of Titus
Oates a combination Of anachronisms at
once novel and startling The particular
object of Benjamin's appearance at the
footlights was that of posing for the benefit
Of the newspapers.
Counsel for the defense in the cases under
call had endeavored to ascertain upon
which one Of two sets of indictments the
Court intended to begin the trial, but in
vain.
In view of the fact that the two sets of
papers differed materially, it was obvious
that the preparation which had been made
for trial upon the indictments first found
was not sufficient in all respects for trial
upon those last found. which, being volum-
inous and but a few days old, counsel had
barely found time to read over.
The refusal of either Court or prosecution
to inform the defense on this point is itself
lapse of courtesy, but in view of the
temper and methods displayed thus far in
these cases 1t isprobably not worth while to
consider the matter of professional courtesy
at all. Upon the call Of the cases The de.
Tense, in default of the information they had
sought in vain last Thursday, and again
to-day, asked until tomorrow to complete
their examination Of the new indictment
This was adopted by Brewster as his cue
and he rose to say that while the request
itself was proper enough and should bt
granted, he desired 10 give notice TO the
court and defense that it was the inten.
tion Of tho Government to press the cases
and that no delay beyond that absolutely
required for examination Of the papers
would be permitted
In Wow Of the fact that the defense has

THE mysteries Of scientific engineering
can hardly be penetrated by the mind of
the uneducated civilian, but why the
walks, on either side of the Lincoln statue
leading to the City Hall, should be con-
structed in the manner they are will ever
be unexplainable, unless the theory is
adopted that the Engineer was in sympathy
or partnership with the shoe dealers and
provided means for wearing out the toes
of the shoes (by "stubbing' them against
the upended bricks) of all persons who
have to cross on these walks from the south
side of the Avenue. Or it may be that he
desired to increase the revenue of the city
from the fines to be imposed on those who
damn the walks and the Engineer, as
going from the hall they inadvertently
step off the unexpected fall, and jar out
two or three double-shotted oaths.

THE majority of the Judiciary Commit
tee have agreed upon their report on the
Land Grant cases. OF course, as every
body expected, they have reported like
hired men. They didn't want to report at
all but, being smoked out, had to show
their hands. Now for the vote in the
House. An election of Congressman is
pending Perhaps Mr.. Willard would pre-.
fer to have no vote taken till after election.
But, again, perhaps the country will not
agree with Mr.. Willard.

THE street-sweepers were at work last
evening at 7:30 o'clock on Pennsylvania

WE DESIRE it distinctly understood that
this being Reform Congress, no lobbying
is permitted. The advertisement specifies
that all applications must be made directly
to members, or, in their absence, to the
clerks of their committees. Sealed pro-
posals preferred. In large jobs like the
Whisky Ring and the Willard Land Steal,
no attorneys other than those regularly
employed by the association or corporation
will be recognized. These must invariably
offer illegal argument" in advance of all
disbursement.
p. SIT is the opinion of the most emi-
nent Reformers that great deal of money
has in times past been wasted on the lobby,
whereby many deserving statesmen have
been kept poor.

GAS that costs in the burners ready for
use not more than fifty cents per thousand
feet should not cost the consumer more
than one dollar. 1t would not, if it were
not for the fact that almost everywhere in
this country the gasmakers enjoy monopo-
lies and are protected in robbing both the
people and the public That is the condi.
tion of affairs here, and the monopoly has
such hold upon Congress that it defeats
an investigation which would prove that
its annual profits are equal to its whole
original investment and might disclose
the fact that free gas is one of the perqui-
sites of Congressman.
