The elevation of Mr.. Evarts over Minister
Morton to the United States Senate is
matter upon which the country may be
congratulated. It at least insures the en-
grating of some additional brains upon
that body, a thing sorely needed. But be-
tween the methods of the two men who
engineered the battle there is little to
choose. Morton furnished his own money
and ssMe toe" Platt distributed it. Unfor-
tunately for his principal he made the
error of sending the money into the Sena-
torial and Assembly districts, to buy up
the s1ocal BOSSES" thinking they would
control the men they had put in Office.
But the Republican Senators and Assem-
blymen are not made of that kind of stuff.
When they get to Albany they are as inde-
pendent as the proverbial s'hog on ice.'
The s1ocal bosses can not control them.
In fact, they can scarcely control them
selves. But they did in this case. They
fooled and when Gould came on the scene
prepared to deal with principals only" and
purchased their votes from themselves, for
his friend Eyarts, they were ready to meet
their golden Jay bird more than half way.
That's how Mr.. Evarts secured the prize,
though of course Mr.. Evarts will tell you
in sentence longer than life itself that if
money was used he knows nothing of it.
OF course not. 1t wasn't his money.

The jersey city Dramatic crub.

At the regular weekly meeting Of the
Club last Tuesday evening. the resignation
of Mr.. E. F. Jennings, as Treasurer of the
Club, was presented. AS Mr.. Jennings
has held the Office to the entire satisfac-
ton of the members for several years, the
resignation was reluctantly accepted, and
a vote of thanks rendered to the retiring
officer. Mr.. E. W. Hodsdon was unani-
mously elected to the vacant position.
The Romance Of Poor Young Man,
which has been some time in rehearsal,
will not be produced at present, owing to
the death Of Mr.. Pearce.
fhe next appearance Of the Jersey City
Dramatic Club will probably be upon the
boards Of Newark theatre in the Mer-
chant Of Venice, with the sumo cast which
were SO successful recently at our
Academy.

Hoboken is in the first spasms of civil
service reform. And heaven knows she
needs it. And when she gets through with
the political phase of the business she
might embark upon a wild career of physi-
cal reform by abolishing the cesspools she
maintains on her meadows and the filth in
the streets of the meadow districts, which
at present are standing invitations to con-
tagion and disease.

The Republican protectionists who are
continually shouting free trade at the
Democrats, have had two surprises the
past week. The first was when Judge
Kelley announced his belief that project
i've duty on raw material kept American
merchants from exporting their goods and
the second was when Minister Lowell al
most came out fat-footed for free trade.
In the course of discussion of the subject
he said that sshis position prevented his ex-
pressing an opinion on the subject, but he
would say that mauy far-sighted English
men believed the adoption of free trade in
America would give England dangerous
competition in all the markets of the
world, because many American fabrics
were more honest than English goods of
the same description. Free trade would
enable America soon to equal England's
mercantile marine, which had heretofore
been impossible through the operation of
the American navigation law and tariff.
England would find America the most in
telligent competitor she had yet met.
This is as good as anything Mr.. Hurd could
do

The death in Ireland Of Thomas Barbour,
the wealthy Paterson flax spinner, is likely
to make trouble-not because he died.
but because just before he died
he made a new will. The one made
in this country left all his property to his
family, but when he reached Ireland he
found his sisters in poverty and he divided
his estate between his family and them.
As there is enough to amply provide for all
the division shoubld be made amicably in
accordance with the wishes of the man
who amassed the wealth. BUTT probably
will not be, as one of the Paterson papers
says there will be complications on account
of one viii being made in America and the
other in Ireland. But it should be remem-
bered that the last viii always take prece-
depce, and therefore the Irish will knocks
the American will out in the first round.
There is no conflict of law on that subject

A Sheriff of Passaic County. who went
out of Office twelve years ago, has just adj
vertised piece of property for sale. This
may seem strange At first sight but the case
was commenced during his term and ac-
cording to the rule in such cases he finishes
up the business. But twelve years is
long time for even a Sheriff's sale to linger.

Colonel Ingersoll made bad point when
he challenged the Christian world to pro-
duce man like Humboldt. But Secchi,
the famous astronomer, was Catholic
priest, and our own Agassiz was profess
ing Christian all his life. These men may
not have been equal to Humboldt but still
they will do very well in the absence of
better. Try again, Robert.

The question whether the punishment of
crime acts as deterrent is once more
brought to the surface by the trial of the
Wainwright family and EIson Rockwell for
the murder of the Wainwright womans
husband at Toms River. While this case
is pending with the almost certainty that
the crime will be brought home to its
perpetrators. similar case, but attended
with circumstances of peculiar atrocity, has
occurred in another part Of the country, a
man named Druse having been killed by
his wife, her daughter, aged eighte n, and
her nephew, aged fourteen, being accom-
plices, the latter upon compulsion. A ten
year-old son of the woman was also made
an accomplish after the fact. The motive
was the same though the woman's lover
does not appear to have had any hand in
the affair, nor have the officers been able
to find him. As the woman threatened to
kill all her relatives who did not assist in
numbering her husband it may be that she
offered him the privilege of acting as execu-
toner and upon his refusal killed him. To
add to the horror of the affair the victims
body was hacked to pieces and burned in
the stove, and had not the charred bones
been buried there would have been no cor
p1s delieti for the law to found its case
upon-a deficit that would have proved
fatal. Crimes of this character almost des-
troy ones faith in human nature and lead
one to wonder what the world would be if
people were allowed to execute their in
diyidual will without fear of the law.

SUNDAY. JANUARY rs. 1885

y The English-Jones case, reported ex-
clusiyely in the TArTLER of last Sunday,
and which the New York and local papers
transferred to their columns on Monday,
In some instances almost bodily, has al
most had parallel during the past week
in the Elliot case before Judge Stilsing.
Elliot is Scotchman and Presbyterian,
while Mrs. Elliot is Irish and a Catholic.
Each appears to have held religion or creed
above family unity and love which is
queer sort of religion, we may remark in
passing, since all religion purports to be
founded on love--and the usual results
followed. Quarrels first and then violence
in which Mrs. Elliot appears to have been
supported by three brothers and four sis
tiers, q combination which left poor Elliot
little chance, if his story is true. Next Mr..
Elliot was clapped in Jail for contempt in
not answering summons in the assault
case he had brought, though he says he did
not receive the subpoena and that his wife
burned it. After being purged of his con-
tempt, which operation required nearly six
weeks, he fed from the scene of his family
troubles. Returning on the I'd of Decem-
Der he was arrested the same night for an
alleged assault on his wife and sent to the
County Jail by Justice Carr. There he YVES
kept until Tuesday last, when the Grand
Jury decided that he had not assaulted his
wife. But instead of being released Elliot
was carted down to the city prison and
there locked up on charge of abandon
ment brought by Overseer Nichols and
Mrs. Elliot. Before Justice Stilsing Mich
OILS admitted that he knew nothing of the
case but had obIgingly brought the charge
because he was asked. Mrs. Elliot then
spoke up and said she sswould never live
with her husband again, never" ssWen, !"
said Judge Stilsing, "that settles the charge
of abandonment so far as you are concern
en-. We have now only to consider the
question of supporting the two children. :"
Elliot said he would support the children,
but Mrs. Elliot peremptorily refused to
surrender them The case seems partic-
nlarIy sad one, however it may finally ter
minate-which viii probably be in a
divorce.
