That valiant Renaissance of the Rebel
lion, Colonel Gilbert P. Robinson, is a
delegate to the Fourth district Republican
Convention. The doughty Colonel is upon
the police roll as one of the police en-
ployes of the city, and goes to the conven-
ton to nominate the man to whom he owes
his place. In Republican government,
nominations are supposed to be made y
the people. AS it isn't possible or eonven-
lent, sometimes, for all the people to join
in making them, they elect one or more of
their members to represent them in. the
conventions. Ostensibly Colonel Robinson
in the convention will represent a constitu-
ency of voters. AS matter of fact he will
only represent the selfish desire of Colonel
Besides being without representative char
acter in the convention, his service as a
delegate Is violation of police rules; for
do we not read in the police manual that
ssNo member of the police force will be
permitted to be delegate or representa-
tive to, or member of, any political or par
tisan convention where the purpose is the
nomination of any candidate or candidates
to any political Officer" It may be that
Colonel Robinson doesn't regard himself
as a member of the police force. The rec
ord of his appointment shows, however,
that he is policeman, holding the rank OF
Sergeant, and detailed to act as Clerk of the
Police Board or a clerk detailed to act as
Sergeant. 1t will be in order for Police
Commissioner Meyer to arraign him before
the Board for violation of very important
police rule

The removal of the State Capitol to

Before Officer Gallagher attempts to skate
on rollers again he will probably deem it
advisable not only to mend the leg he broke
at the Pavonia Rink the other evening,
but to have S pair of skates built to order.
His fracture of his limb was doubtless due
to the fact that he buckled a No. 10
skate onto his No. IA boot. Then, too, a
roller skate is not the orthodox kind OF
skate Tor q policeman to INDULGE in.

The fends of the types seem to conspire,
sometimes. to make us say just the oppo-
site of what we intended to ssy. Last Sun
days TATTLER afforded a notable instance
of this, when its report of the Citizens As
ISOLATION declared that the Association
agreed to withdraw from they Spring
election contest. The context of the rest
of the article showed that this was mere
typographical error, but it should not have
been made. So when we had occasion to
refer editorially to Mrs. Smiths sscrazy
quilt" two or three Sundays ago, the
types made us say that s'the Senate cleo
trifed the souls of her hearers" by refer
ence to the quilt. We wrote, of course, as
the rest of the article showed, that Mrs.
Smith electrified the souls of her hearers.
We are sorry thet stupid printers thus fire.
quently distort our meaning, but even the
most vigilant precautions on our part can
not sometimes prevent them from doing it.

A Western farmer recently hung himself
in his orchard. The poor fellow had prob
ably taken advantage of the recent ''cold
snap" to look into the condition of his trees
and was driven to desperation by the
failure of the peach crop, which some of
the papers have already begun to tell about.
This scare will probably last until the time
arrives for relating the narrowing details of
the failure of last Winters ice crop.

A reverend gentleman named Murray,
who is connected with Methodist Church
in Newark, made the remarkable point, in
a sermon last Sunday against Sunday news
papers, that the Sunday papers cheat the
readers of the Monday papers out of much
interesting news. Thtre's no doubt about
that The man who fails to read the Sun
DAY TATTLER misses many a piece of infor-
nation that he would be the richer and the
happier and the better for having.

The Republicans are bowling that Presi-

But just wait till he recalls LoDgstreet and
Mosby from their little posts and then the
same papers will anathenatize him as a

whose bull is gored. And these are "par-

A Newark firm knows what it is to have
in its employ men who are too smart.
Beller & Metz's ultramarine blue works
took fire the other morning, and the watch
man and engineer, who were on duty,
thought it would be good idea to extin-
guisd the flames with the factory apparatus
and it took them an hour and half to find
out they couldn't do it. But even then
they didn't give an alarm, but directed
their attention to saving such effects as
they could carry out, and it was not till the
lookout in the Halsey steel tower saw the
flames that an alarm was given. By that
time five of the firms six buildings were in
flames and could not be saved. The loss
was $150,000. Had an alarm been prompts
ly sent out when the fire was first discov-
cred the damage would probably have been
less than $1,000 The other S145, 900 may
set down to the fool-smarJness of the engi-
neer and Watchman

Governor Carroll is one of the great
DIRECTORS to Higgins and has put himself
on record to that effect. Now Higgins's
friends show that in 1876 Governor Carroll
appointed Higgins to one of the best places
in his gift, which is bad predicament for
the gentleman in whom is now conferred all
the blue blood of the CAROLS to be caught
in. Before Governor Carroll fires his politi-
Cal gun again he ill probably take the pre-
caution to see that it isn't loaded at both
ends

President Cleveland has given the public
another surprise and the politicians an adj
ditional shock. His nominations have been
sound as to the ability of his selections and
have met the public approval, while of the
Democracy of the gentlemen named there
can be no question. 1t will be something
of sensation for Europe to find this coun-
try represented by brains instead of dollar
marks, but the country smiles approval
and seems to think it can stand all the
pressure that can be put OF in this direct
ion.

No wonder HobokeR is alarmed at the
prospect of bill increasing the number of
police. If the city had few more officers
like the one who permitted the Smith
Brothers burglary, with an explosion that
awakened half the people, the thieves
might be expected to come back some
moonlight night and carry off the town.

There is good deal of Republican
method in the madness of this self-ap-
pointed Citizens Association. They adhere
to their opposition to Fire Commissioner
Wlndecker for the one and only reason
that he is Democrat, certain, if eruns,
to carry the district. 1t is more than likely
that Shea will be defeated in the third dis
trict Democrat will be elected in the
second of course, and the election of
Windecker in the fifth would lose the Re
publicans the control of the Fire Board.
The "Citizens wouldn't have that, for
anything. So they refuse to endorse Wind
ecker. and are evidently holding back till
they learn whom the Republicans will NOM
mate up there with view of endorsing
him.

The retirement Of Michael B. Holmes

The retirement of Michael B. Holmes
from the Aldermanic race in the first dis
trict was wise move. Mr.. Holmes may
loS bs dynamiter; we are told in fact
by gentlemen well posted on all phases of
the Irish question that he is not one; but
he trained last Fall with crowd that laid
him open to suspicion. The mass of those
who followed him into the Blaine campaign
were loud mouthed blatherskites who
cheered for O'Donovan Rosa as Justify as
they did for Blaine, and who were for
Blaine because they hoped Blaine would
be bomb ally of the great O'Donovan.
Under the circumstances his nomination
was bad-one, in spite of the fact that he
may be fitted to adorn the Council Cham
