haved Under the influence Of "Am-
brosia'' this swarm Of humanity are usual
ly rough, unmanageable and exceedingly
quarelsome. This was particularly the
case last Sunday, when lighting and insult
ing fellows were largely on the rampage.
In one of these fights that occurred moth
ing less than brickbats would do. The
result was that enc young man by the name
of Slemper had his skull crushed. He got
into a quarrel with young man by the
name of May about insulting some women.
Slemper, who bore a bad reputation, COM
menced to assail May with a club, and as
matter Of self defence May had to resort to
the same tactics; the result of this was that
Slemper was killed. The shortest way out
of this unfortunate occurrence for May was
to DELIVER himself to the officers of the law.
This he did. If the evidence adduced at
the coroner's investigation is Indicative of
anything the culprit will 60 free or get off
with nominal punishment. 1t is an un-
fortunate occurrence. and unless jersey JUS
tice will interfere more stringentlyto govern
the swarms of human beings at Gloucester
on a Sunday more such offences can be ex-
pected
The verbaige that has been issued by the
4 National Republican party through the
Chicago Convention as its platform, is
enough to make man sick. or in the
least create nausea. 1t is combination OF
rot and false pretense from beginning to
end. The only commendable thing about
it is its unequivocal declaration in favor of
protection for protection sake which is
clearly unconstitutional. In this reaction
ary policy the great party clearly says unto
great people, let us surround ourselves as
it were with Chinese wall. Such policy
as falsely dubbed the american policy
would have a similar effect as the non-in-
tercourse with foreign nations had upon
China. Dense ignorance, peryersiYe gov
ernment and tyranny OF the favored classe:
upon the less favored. This style of jim
goism may,do for the Blaineites but it will
never meet the appreciation of the grea
majority of intelligent American voters,
