IT was horrible that the fratricide, Os-

Ownership of the New York World.

Saratoga Letter in New York World.
Editor Brown. of the New York Daily News,
is spending few days at Saratoga. He says
none of the newspaper men in New York be-
leve Joe Pulitzer owns the Word, and that ha
is generally regarded one of Mr.. Goulds
hired men. Pulitzer is horribly sensitive on the
subject, and never loses opportunity to
sert his individual ownership. Not long ago he
met Brown at the Manhattan club, of which
both are members. Pulitzer went up to Brown
and said ~ understand you are saying that 1
do not own the World"
Brown said: 81 do not know what you have
heard reported coming from me, but II yod
want my opinion eau give it TO you"

INDICATIONS are that the city's deeora-

been delayed, but thousands of flags have

The Spanish army has a superhuity of
young officers who believe revolution is
their only chance for promotion. They
should take lesson from American army
officers who want advancement but have no

A BOSTON paper tells little story of sum-
mer bOarder. a lady, who, while enjoying the
rural delight of riding on a load of hay, had the
misfortune to lose her pocket-book. The hay
was looked over as it was unloaded. and later,
when it was fed out to the cattle, but the miss
ing purse was not found. The loss occurred two
years ago. and the other day hen scratching
near the barn turned up the pocket-book little
out of repair, but with it's contents in gold and
greenbacks undisturbed. This story is a fresh
proof of the feebleness of the Eastern imagina-
ton. Had that pocket-book been lost in West
ern hay-mow the owner would have found it in
the butter when she visited her country cousins
next year; or, if not in the butter. a biddy, in
stead of scratching the treasure out of the
ground, would have produced an egg containing
the missing cash.

which died first; but upon this point depended

of one SO faithful and sensitive is of itself dis

bring about such a result can exist in so intense

The Alien State 81 New Jer.ey.

1t has long been ssthrown up at New
and it might naturally be thought that
her people would take some measures
to remove the unfavorable impression
entertained by other States. Instead
thereof they seem to delight in doing
Just what will strengthen the impression
that their sister State is an alien and has
nothing in common with her pretended
sisters.
Only few days ago they had an en-
bezzlement case in Hudson County,
New Jersey. The defendant was a
Town Treasurer, and had done what he
could to bring New Jersey into harmony
with the Union by stealing the public
funds, Just as Town Treasures some
times do in the States. The courts,
however, spoiled his nice little scheme.
They seemed at first to fall in with it,
just as State courts do, by deferring
sentence until the money! beg.
CARLY trifie of S4,000-had been
returned by the prisoners friends.
But when that was done, instead
of following the State fashion OF
letting the prisoner off, the courts
sentenced him to three years and six
titioned to remit the sentence on account
of alleged carelessness alid inexperience
on the part of the defendant, the Jersey
Judge, in fragrant disregard of the State
precedents, refused. He had the bar
barity to say that he was satisfied the
defendant took the money, not by mis-
take, but purposely, and that to accept
his restitution as ground for releasing
him would be to say to public officers !:
ssYou can 60 on stealing until you are
found out, and when you are discovered
you can pay back and 90 scotfree. Those
are the exact words the hard-hearted
Jersey Judge used, and the prisoner
actually went to the penitentiary, not
withstanding the restitution.
OF course, if the Jerseymen do not
care about being regarded as foreigners
it is useless to criticise the conduct of
this Judge. But if they expect to be
ever admitted to the Union or to have
their membership of the Union-if they
claim any-recognized, they must see
to it that this sort of thing is stopped
