New-York tribune., 1883-10-26

Mr.. Grady is a good man, and weighs-we really
don't know how much he does weigh; but it seems
to have been enough to break down harmony" as
completely as the Deacons one-horse coupe.
A few unscrupulous persons have gone into the
business Of inventng accidents elOpements, crimes,
etc. the scenes of which they put in remote and
inaccessible parts of Long Island They succeed in
selling these outrageous lies to some of the evening
newspapers, aud occasionally they swindle morn
ing journal as well. Long Island, like other parts
of the country, has sins enough TO answer foI with
out being made TO bear the Odium of imaginary
crimes and this business Of circulating lying reports
ought to be put down. Newspapers which have
been repeatedly mised into publishing these false
hoods owe il to their readers and themselves to be
more careful concerning their sources of informa-
ton.
Erastus Brooks was overwhelmingly defeated for
a denomination to the Assembly because, one of
the candid delegates yelled ont. He's too cold"
The fierce Democracy like their candidates they
do their whislley-hot. A candidate with 4 warm,
liberal hand and a well-hoated nose reaches the
Democratic standard of temperature.
Unless the directors yield to The wishes of the
exhibitors, the International Fisheries Exhibition

bring before the fishermen Of Europe some improve
ments in fishing apparatus. Next year there is to

bear upon food supply and hygenic matters at large.
Mr.. Howe, the lawyer, is quoted as saying that
Judge Noah Davis was " the very man before
whom he wanted to try" his client, Porter the
burglar charged with numbering fellow ruifan.
In this desire the lawyer it is safe to believe the
client does not l,il.
Now and then tho Mean Husband appears in such
numbers as to make il strange that greater pro-
portion of the women do not voluntarily choose the
ancient and honorable profession of old maid.
There could hardly bo a moro dospcablc male being
than the who, it has just been found, has been
forcing his wife for years to steal from the store in
which she was employed and has been living off the
proceeds of her crimes. In Justice he ought to bear
far the greater part of the penalty and yet, In law
II will be great triumph to be able to punish him
equally with his victim, for such his wife scoms TO
have been weak and deplorable as her conduct was.
Another of the Mean Husbands shot his wife in
Brooklyn on Tuesday, and curousy enough. one is
more impressed with the mcanness of the act than
with its criminal character. lie was another worth
less fellow was jealous of his wife, and shot her in
II peculiarly mean and cowardly way. Yet in spite
of every warning of this kind, presume the girls
will go saying yes" and there will be new mar
riages in the papers every day.
The Xth Senatorial District of this State is always
closely contested. Its present representative is
Democrat, his predecessor was a Republican. This
fall the Republican candidate is Colonel Ethan
Allen. He is entitled to receive the full party vote
and from the fact that he is much better qualified
for the high Office for which he has been named
than his opponent he Is also entitled to the support
of those independent Democrats who desire to see
the best man succeed. Let the Republicans and
Independents make the most Of their opportunities
One of the minor errors in the construction of the
Bridge has been discovered since the running Of the
cars was regularly begun. Tho waiting for
ladies arc on the wrong side of the entrances both
! in Brooklyn aud Now-YOrk, and rs IA consequence
are not used lady coming from Brooklyn 10 meet
! her friends In New-YOrk finds herself landed out
side the room reserved for the use of her sex and
! cannot enter it without paying an additional
! cents fare. Persons hurryng TO pass either TO or
| from Brooklyn, of course do not wish to stop in
the room except reaching their destination. The
dark and damp entrance in which they are now
landed are unsuitable places for ladies TO wait and
q free entrance to the waiting room in which they
can be comfortable ought to bo provided.
