Fashions Fancies.

Jetted zouave jackets, very short and
headed in small designs, are worn over
waists of house dresses of black silk, satin,
or surah.
A bonnet of brick-red Grape, richly en-
broidered, has strings of ottoman ribbon of
the same color. A mass of peach blossoms
covers the front.
Inexpensive mohairs, stylishly made up
in gray, blue or fawn color, with a vest of
white or ecru wool, will be worn as Sum-
mer travelling dresses.
A bonnet made entirely of black Cham
lilly lace, with strings of the same material,
is trimmed in front with cluster of daffo-
dis, and some purple and yellow crocuses.
The robe for full dress is of lace, a loose
blouse falling on skirt, or rather a aounce
of lace at the foot over a foundation of
surah or satin in cream, pink, blue, red or
pale green.
1t is now fashionable for little girls, those
ranging from four to eight, to wear their
dresses down to their ankles. When their
gowns are made simple, the effect is both

White nuns yelling is the favorite for
nice dresses for young girls. It is made up
with jersey bodice, laced or buttoned be-
hind. The skirt is trimmed with rows Of
satin ribbon, and has tablier in front and
sash ends behind for slender figures.
Wash dresses for young girls have a yoke
bodice belted, and the skirt is plain and
round, with tucks above the hem. The
sash bow worn at the back is made of the
dress material and is tucked across the
ends, which are edged with embroidery.
Neck fittings seem to have taken new
lease of life; they are mingled with loops
of very narrow gilt braid, and varied in
many novel ways to meet the prevailing
taste for tinsel Bonnets glitter with tinsel
gauze and ornaments. Tiusel threads are
woven in fabrics of satin, silk, wooden, and
velvet.

The disgraceful libertinism of the police
force is attracting the attention of the citi-
zens TO no small degree. Scarcely week
passes by when the yillainous capers of
some of the men on the force are not par
AIDED to public view. Phil Shorts baby
scrape brought two or three others to the
front at about the same time, and this
week two like cases are added to the list,
in the scrape reported in last Sundays
TATTLER, of Policeman We're and his two
women. and in the e.opement with a mar
ried woman of Policeman Anderson. The
frequency of these cases suggests the
question, to thoss who are not personally
acquainted with the policemen, whether
the whole force is an organized band of
debauchees who have no respect whatever
for the most sacred of the private rights
they are called upon to protect. We know
ourselves that there are honest, diligent,
attentive and scrupulously reserved men
on the force, but the rascally fellows who
wear the brass buttons with them, bring
even the innocent under suspicion and in
to disgrace. The Police Board should give
this matter their earnest attention. They
should weed out those dirty scamps, ana
turn them off, The blue coats and brass
buttons serve too many of them only as
aids in their ssmashing" expeditions among
the ignorant and vulgar, who are alone
awed by them. Let the Police Board kick
them out and put decent men in their
places.

It is funny to observe the treatment the
State papers give to the MCPHERSON Sewell
bargain story. The Republican organ
springs, without knowing anything about
it, to the defense of Gen. Sewell, and be-
fore fact has been announced, the Demo-
cratic papers hasten to defend or denounce
Mr.. Mcpherson. Other papers, uncertain
as to which way the cat will finally jump,
and afraid of offending some one who might
do them harm, are ominously silent about
the matter. The SUNDAY TATTLER has no
interest in any of them, is the spokesman
of no one, but is still anxious to know the
truth. It wonld be severe blow to the
honor Of this sturdy little Democratic Com
monwealh if it should be shown, to the

Little Billy Fiedler's effort to reopen the

in the hope Of running himself into the

Ward would doubtless have been attended

The new census shows large increases of
population in many of the counties in the
State. If an apportionment could be had
now, Hudson would make gain in Assem-
blymen. No change can be made, how
ever, until 1890. The only redlstricting
power the Legislature can exercise till then
is that of changing the district lines.

The death of School Superintendent
Barton removes from the schools one of
the most accomplished instructors that has
ever served the city. Mr.. Barton had little
opportunity to show his capacity for the
new duties entrusted to his hands by his
promotion to the city superintendency for
not long after his promotion, he was de-
bilitated by sickness, and steadily declined
till his death. It was his administration of
the High School Principals, however, that
made that institution and gave its position
among the seminaries of the State

Thank you, Mr.. Noyes The gentlemen
who secured your appointment are under
obligations to you. But it seems very
strange that the appointing powers should
be SO sadly ignorant of the identity of the
chief thief in the stealing of Florida. Mr..
Hoadly will probably pay for his blunder
by keeping off the gubernatorial ticket of
his State But even that seems light
penalty for SO glaring an error as his.

The journal hopes that that the New
Jersey militia encampment will be better
managed than the Pennsylvania and New
York affairs-a wish in which every good
citizen will join, whether he hes regard for
the reputation of the militia, or the COM
munities in which the encampments are
held. Poughkeepsie and Paramount Park
were simply moral cesspools during the
encampments held there and the scenes
daily enacted at those places were simply
disgusting. This is not assertion, merely,
but the testimony OF eye-witnesses. One
New York paper which sent reporter to
the Poughkeepsie camp with view to get
ting at the facts, concluded that there
were times when the truth could not be
told to advantage. At Philadelphia some
of the soldiers were tossing comrade in a
blanket when woman was foolish enough
TO make some jocular remark about it. In
stantly she was seized, thrown into the
blanket, and tossed for half an hour.
Wasn't that magnificent spectacle for a
decent community to witness? And worse
still, when the woman sought to obtain re-
dress for the outrage, she was laughed at.
We do not believe the militia of this State
will be guilty of such excuses as these but
it is pretty hard work to manage body of
men transiently released from the laws of
society and the restraints which their daily
associations compel them to put upon
themselves. Man may not have eyoluted
from the ape, but it don't take him long,
under favorable circumstances, to get back
to something very like the Simian condi-
ton.

There are signs that the Grand Army in
tend to boom John A. Logan for the Presi-
dency without regard to politics. They
don't care who dominates him 80 that he
secures nomination and they vii support
him on any ticket. This may not be the
intention of the G. A. R. men of this
State, but there is certainly such an idea
among the Grand Army men in New York
and the West.

Alderman Gator no longer believes In
free rum at least on Sunday. He has in-
troduced an ordinance to prohibit the sale
of liquor n..Sunday and the funniest part
of it is to see the journal, whose editor
publicly announced that he couldn't trust
Gator, supporting his measure. How does
the Major know he can trust Gator now?
There may be huge ''nigger in the fence"
somewhere and this alleged ordinance to
suppress hquor on Sunday may be really
measure to make our streets flow with beer
on the Sabbath. The Major should look
into Gators ordinance pretty closely before
he further commits himself to its support.
Or has the Majors confidence in Gator
been restored by some occult process !?
Can he trust him as he couldn't three
months ago, and if SO, why2 Has Gator
changed or the Major2 At all events
neither one of them used to be such infer
nally strict temperance men few years
ago. P. S. Perhaps they've both changed
and can now trust each other as content
eddy as if there never had been break of
confidence between them.

Mayor Timken seems to have caught the

ping again. They had granted rebate of
taxes amounting to 5000, pretendedly in
favor of recent purchaser of some tax
burthened property. But the Mayor learned
that the purchaser had already drawn his
check for the full amount and then the
question arose as to who would benefit by
the 5000. The ostensible BENEFICIARY proved
to be the agent who sold the property,
though what claim he had to the money no
one could tell. The probability is that
there was very dirty pool at the bottom
of the business, but if there was, Mayor
Thinker was prompt enough to prevent the
anticipated s'divvy," and save the city from
being swindled-for swindle it was, no
matter what term the operators choose to
smooth the matter over with their con-
sciences.

No less than half dozen persons were
bitten in this city during the past week by
stray dogs. Some of them we're severely
injured, to say nothing of the danger of
hydrophobia. Under the circumstances it
would be well to have the dog ordinance
enforced at once and at the same time peo-
pie to know that there is State law under
which vagrant ours can be killed at any
time of the year and without waiting for
the proclamation of the Mayor. The law
on the subject should be enforced by the
authorities, and every vicious canine,
whether astray or not, should be promptly
suppressed. Unfortunately these ours
generally attack women and children who
cannot defend themselves, in which re-
spect they are very like the biped ours who
infest our railroad trestles and by-ways,
and who might be wiped out with equal
advantage.

satisfaction Of The world, that the two gen.
tlemen holding the highest Of her public
gifts. had entered into conspiracy to
rob her people of their political rights and
the TATTLER has no desire to fasten this
stain upon the States escutcheon. We re-
cognize the fact that the controversy has
just begun, and that the issue of it can be
foretold by no man at this time and pro-
pose to withhold Judgment till the case has
been more fully presented on both sides.
1t seems incredible that gentleman of
the standing of P. II. Watson-one next to
cabinet officer, and then President Of one
of the great trunkline companies of the
country-could have fabricated so terrible
story, as that his memorandum lays bare,
out of the whole cloth. He must have
overheard conversation of that tenor be-
tween some two persons. On the other
hand, Mr.. McPherson's summons equally
credible witnesses to prove that he Was not
there at the time the interview is said to
have taken place and test made by the
Philadelphia Times goes to show that Mr..
McPherson's statement is corroborated by
the physical impossibility of a CONVEX
sation held in Room 26 being overheard
by any one in Room rs. Has some one i'm
posed on the credulity of Mr.. Watson?
Has he seen McPherson's name on the
Hotel Register as the occupant of that
room, and concluded that it was he whom
he had heard in consultation with Gen.
Sewell or did some one falsely assure him
that the voices he overheard were the
voices of the two Senators? Then, as
bearing on the question of physical impos-
sbility on the two rooms now as they were
then? Is there the same thickness of wall
between them now as there was then? Or
have they been managed SO that what
could have been overheard in one of them
in 1878 cannot be overheard in 1885? The
delay in making the charges is an element
for consideration too. Why, if Mr.. Ram
dolph knew of the treachery, did he
not use the proofs of it to save himself from
defeat when he last sought the Senator
ship? And if Mr.. Kelsey knew of them in
1880, why did he espouse Mr.. McPherson's
reelection to the United States Senate two
years ago? And if they were true, and
Mcpherson and Sewell knew they were
true, as they must if they had been true,
how happens it that Mr.. Titles threat Of
exposure failed to drive them to the sup
port of his Senatorial candidacy year
ago2 The controversy is full of problems
of doubt against any positive view of the
matter, and there is nothing for any candid
man to do but "giye it up" for the present.

The Fourth of July in Hudson County
was a NANCY sort of affair at best. There
was not an effort in the way of public cele-
bration, and the private attempts were
equally meagre. If that is all we can do
for the oldest veteran Of them all, the
Fourth might as well be abolished by an
Act of Congress. Next year let some en-
thusiastic citizen at least get ont on a
street corner and read the Declaration of
Independence or the riot act. Either
would have been equally appropriate to
Jersey City last Saturday. seeing that q
riot was the only celebration the city had.
