and Mr.. Tumulty may as wen save his
labor There was time when the thing
could have been DONE but that was years
ago. when Mill Greek was a creek. and
something more; when it ran from Com
munipaw around by the base of the hill
out into the upper part Of Harsimus Cove
near the Hoboken line, and was navigable
at either end. Then it could have been
excavated in its entire length, and even if
it could moi have been converted into q
river, it at least would have proved q
bonanza, because our people might have
got several thousand dollars a year out of
Congress for improving its navigation.
Cheesequalxes wasn't half as good, and
look at the money that has made for its
proprietors. Judiciously worked, Mill
Greek could have been made to pay the
debt of Jersey City, with few dollars
left over for adlvidend. But the golden
opportunity is gone. The railroads have
closed it up at both ends. and an inland
ship canal, devoid Of outlet, would be an
Improbable undertaking. Congress is
watched too closely nowadays to dare
appropriate anything for SO barefaced a
project as that, and such scheme would
have to depend entirely upon private enter
prise-with very little hope of getting a
cent from any one. We should like very
much to see Mil Greek opened. but even
if Mr.. Tumulty's bill passes, who is to do
1t? The city cannot, and the corporations
Won't. Mayor O'Neill suggested the idea
fifteen years ago, but the people wouldn't
listen TO him and their ears were just as
large then as they are now. We are afraid
that if Mr.. Tumulty wants Mil Greek
made into ship canal he will have to do
the work himself, Jersey City hasn't
enterprise enough. It exhausted her ener-
gles to build the Morgan street dock.
A short time ago she set out to build a
series of docks or a wet basin On the
Hackensack, which is feasible, and would
prove a great benefit to that part of the
city. The Aldermen or somebody went
down and looked at the river-and there
the matter rests. More than ten years age
the Legislature gave jersey City the right
to build wet basin in what is left Of
Communipaw Cove for the nominal sum
of 81, 600. Jersey City never SO much al
noticed the proposition. For going t.
sleep and forgetting to wake up, jersey
City can give Rip Van Wrinkle more points
than Joe Jefferson can. no

Chief Murphy's idea that the saloons
should be closed at midnight--which. by
the way, was first given to the public in
an interview published by the TATTLER
about two months ago, long before the
Journal or the Womans Christian Tenn
perance Union thought of it--is good
one. AS the Chief says, more than one
half the crime that which owes its origin
to rum, at least-which comes, under the
notice of the police occurs after midnight;
therefore, if the saloons close at that hour
much of that sort of crime will cease.
Police statistics bear out this statement,
not only in Jersey City. but in every other
city as well. 1t is safe to say that nine
tenths of the crimes Of violence owe their
origin directly or remotely to drunken
ness. Domestic crimes nearly all have
this origin. A man goes home drunk and
vents his rage upon the inoffensive mem
bers of his family. He may not intend to
do harm, but he does it none the less
surely that he does it without " meaning
to strike SO hard By closing the saloons
at an earlier hour, much of this drunken
ness may be prevented. Projectors of
respectable places will not object. Nearly
all of them close BY midnight, or soon
after, as it is. One o'clock finds them all
closed, or nearly all. There are not half
a-dozen places entitled to be considered
respectable in the whole city that are not
shut up by the hour named, unless it may
be in exceptional cases. The lost hour
will really be gain to them, because it
will enable them to go home earlier. The
law, if it should be passed, will only affect
such places as the community can well do
without saloons which offer harbor to
the men who fill our jails and make work
for our courts. These places ought to be
closed up altogether, but it seems impos-
sible to prevent their being licensed; and
such being the case, it is well to bring
them as much under control as possible.
The public should join with the authori-
ties in this matter, and bring about the
passage of such law as speedily as posi-
Bile. 1t will discommode no one whose
convenience is worth considering, and it
will save half the time of the police and
the legal machinery of the county.

We don't mind turning the electric light
of the TATTLER's intelligence on the tenn
perance question, and giving the advocates
of that cause a g quiet tip that may ben
eft them if they are wise enough to profit
by our advice: Drop prohibition gen
| tlemen-and ladiss--and go in for g high
| license" That means success Prohibit
ton means failure and more drunkenness
than ever. 1t is impossible to regulate
mems appetites, even if it were constitu-
tional to invade their rights. But high
license will wipe out the criminal
resorts" and boozing-dens thatsswork
ell the evil 10 the community. Excise
boards haven't the nerve to refuse to
license these places, lest they should
deprive themselves or their party of a
little political influence; SO let US do the
next best thing. If you cannot prevent
the licensing Of these places, you can at
least put license out of their reach. There
are saloons in this city which should be
blotted out, no matter what the cost, We
know of one Of these, on Montgomery
street, from which the writer of this para
graph saw man taken out at 2 o'clock
the other morning, knocked down (though
he was SO drunk he could scarcely stand),
and brutalIy kicked. Fortunately for him,

theory, to abide permanently in the hottest

THE CAMPBELL CASE.
Lady Colin Campbell Called and Gives
Her Testimony.

LONDON, Dec. 10.
At the conclusion of the argument BY the
counsel for DR.. Bird, in the Campbell case
today, Lady Colin Campbell was called. She
entered the witness box amid profound ST.
lence. was very pale and testified in a slow,
distinct voice. She said that until the fam
lily meeting at Sburloe Square, in 1888, she
had exchanged letters daily with her husband
when absent; before their marriage Lord
Colin asked her if she would consent, when
married, to their occupying separate rooms
She consented and Lord Colin asked her not
to divulge the fact that he made this request,
but she insisted upon telling her mother. The
nature of his illness was unknown to her un-
til May, 1888; she never pressed Lord Colin
to marry her, but her mother disliked long
engagements.
Continuing Lady Colin said she was educat-
ed in Italy and spoke Italian and French be.
fore she learned the English language. She
sang, painted and wrote books; was also a
journalist. She sang at 40 cnarity concerts,
not one of which Lord Colin attended She
taught night classes of factory girls and work
ed daily among the poor. Her husband knew
of it. In order that the fact of his illness
should be unknown, he wished it understood
that he was engaged in the House of Com
mons
Lord Colin accepted engagements for both
and then deserted her to go alone. Her hus-
band went to Scotland in 1882 without nurse
and she attended him. She left him there
in order to visit her mother. He was better
at that time and pressed her to go She felt
ill the first FIVE days after consummation of
marriage. In November, 1881, she was very
i'll and was never free from the symptoms
until 1885.
Sir Phillip Miles occupied the room next
to hers at Leigh Court. The room on the
other side was empty, being kept tor her hus-
band. She didn't know what room the Duke
of Marlborough occupied. She gave abso-
lutte denial to the evidence of Rose Baer,
Mrs. Duffy, O'Neill and other witnesses, and
declared she never committed adultery with
the Duke of Marlborough, or any other man.
Lady Campbell gave evidence with perfect
composure and fullest self possession. She
gave responses to the questions asked She
wore plain blue serge dress aud black bon
net. She is tall, 1.-THE and shapely, and has
full, black, glowing eyes, with clear com
plexion. The Queen has forbidden admission
into the household of Windsor. or within the
castle precincts, newspapers containing the
reports of the Campbell divorce case.

Friday morning. Mr.. Strout of the counsel
for the Backus heirs, said that a. tn. ;uris.
d'ction OF tins court was not final he thought
1t waste Of time to go further with the case.
Some of their witnesses lived long distance
away and business required their presence at
home. He proposed to do a. he had alwavs
me IN THIS class OF cases, allow the formal
decree OF the will to 60 and then enter an ap-
peal. He believed the heirs had testimony
able to sustain their case and that they would
ultimately prevail
Mr.. Symonds, Of the counsel for the exec
utors reviewed the action taken by the con-
testaDts. They were granted months time
to present their case and seven witnesses had
testified here in the fullest manner, many to
all of the facts required TO prove the will, ,
and they having substantially ncthing in the
way of controverting it, to add. Now thev
consent to the probsting of the will after the
opportunity for hearing has been given OF
course if they assume this position there is
nothing further to say. 1t is unnecessary
for us to discuss the case if they concede it
here.
Judge Morrison said that although the evil
dence set med to point mainly in one direction
the case was of sufficient magnitude to re-
quire careful consideration and a somew hat
formal decision; consequently he should take
the matter under under consideration and
announce his decision at the January term.

Astounding Figures.

Reliable authorities estimate the value of
the poultry products of the United States Tor
the year 1886, at the enormous sun of ak
hundred millions of dollars. But even this
amount, large rs it is, does not represent the
year. In 1876, the United States imported
from foreign countries about Ave million
dozed eggs-but in 1885 the quantity had in
creased TO over sixteen million dozen. II
these figures are correct, land there is no
reason to doubt them) the poultry industry
amounts To more than the wheat crop, the
cotton crop, the hay crop, or the entire
product of all our gold and silver mines. We
saw these figures are astounding; probably
not one person in ten thousand is aware that
The poultry industry stands at the head. But
what is it that has lifted the poultry industry
to this surprising eminence? No doubt the
discovery OF Sheriian's Powder to make hens
lay, had much to do with II, but not all. The
fact is the women and children are beginning
to learn that there is no way by which they
can secure a constant inflow of ready cash
with so little effort, as by keeping and intel
igently caring for hens. |. ). johnson &
