against the encroachments upon the rights

But we cannot lose sight of the fact that

It seems to US that the Right Rev. Bishop

Wigger may have done Rev. Father Corri-
gan, of Hoboken, an injustice in inimating
a charge Of falsehood against him. In his
lettersto the New York Times, Bishop Wig
ger says that the clergy and laity will see,
from the letter of Cardinal Simeoni, that it
is not true. as the Rev. Mr. Corrigan states,
that Rome raised her authoritiye voice and
not only sustained the person who COM
menced the discussion but commended him
for his successful zeal;p and that it is not
true. as he also afirms, that '.his teaching
and his conduct have the approval of
Rome" If the expressions quoted by the
Right Reverend Bishop, Of Newark, are
taken from newspaper interview with the
Rev. Father Corrigan, they probably rep
resent only the reporters version of what
the Hoboken priest may have said, and the
newspaper man may not have drawn the
lines, in reproducing his remarks, as fine as
Father Corrigan drew them. The letter in
possession of Father Corrigan, in which his
agent assures him that Mgr. Jacobini per-
mitted the circulation of the English and
Italian editions in Rome, seems to be evil
dence of a negative approval of the work.
and Father Corrigan had q perfect right
to regard it as an endorsement. The agita-
ton will not probably be without its fruits.
It will serve to bring into notice and dis
cussion the new departure as to the select
ion of American Bishops that the Rector of
of "Our Lady of Grace" advocates. We do
not pretend to be acquainted with all the
phases of the mooted question, but there is
something in Father Corrigan's proposition
that the priests be allowed a voice in the
selection of the Bishops that appeals
strongly to the Republican spirit of the New
World.

Last Sundays TATTLER was the model
local newspaper. TWAS SO full of interest
ing local news that we had to compress the
telegraphic news received during the even
ing into quarter of column or less. There
were altogether 265 pieces of information
in the paper 2o5 items, long and short, ex-
elusive of the editorial paragraphs. In
Guiding the editorial notes there were six
teen columns of local information. No
paper in New Jersey can make such a
showing. To-day's paper is as full and as
interesting. We are being repaid for our
expenditure of labor and money in the
rapid growth of our circulation.

We take no stock in the report we see in
some of the Newark papers, that President
Cleveland intends to make little "Billy"
Fielder Postmaster of Newark. Fielder is
foxy little politician of no calibre or
standing in Newark, whom successive
lucky accidents have made Mayor of the
city and Representative in Congress He
is man of scarcely ordinary capacity, but
he has an aptitude for all the little tricks
of the demagogue, and has succeeded al
ready in advancing himself far beyond the
sphere for which Nature built him. It's
about time that he let go the public teat,
and returned to his hat store in Newark.

New Jersey Republicans are shouting
themselves hoarse in fever of Civil Service

The trick by which they sought to bounce

shows the real nature of the Republican
beast pretty thoroughly.

Republican reformers are finding much
satisfaction in the fact that when they
came into power in 1851 they found the
Treasury empty. That was because the
government, up to that time, had been adj
ministered economically both by Demo-
Gratis and Wings The administrations in
those days did not believe in taxing the
eyes out of peoples heads to roll up sur
plus of three hundred million dollars for
Congress to worry over and Treasury
thieves to steal. An empty treasury, with
all current expenses paid and no debt
hanging over the nation, is the best proof
that can be given of an economy and
honesty in the government. Had it not
been for the great surplus rolled up by the
Republicans the Johnny Roach" and
similar raids on the treasury, by which
millions on millions were stolen, would
have been impossible. Let us have an
empty treasury again, and as soon as pos
sible.
