Slaughtered by Traitors.


There is more of consolation in the result
than that which springs from the con-
seriousness of a gallant fight for principle.
There is the prouder consciousness that
the principles fought for were victorious
the defeat Of our candi-
dates. The miserable faction fight in New
York, to which that defeat is directly
traceable, had no connection with the
issues upon which the contest was fought
in the other States Of the Union. The
traders in votes who made merchandise of
the National Democratic strength in New
York cared nothing for principle, for tariff
reform or high protection, for ag9randize-
ment or reduction Of the surplus. They
cared only for their lefty personal schemes
or the successes Of local candidates in
whom they were interested. For these
they were ready to barter away the best
hope the Nation has had for years of relief
from oppressive taxation; and they have
furnished fresh illustration of the fact
that great results may be accomplished by
Insignificant means.

tChfcsgo Times
The survival Of the Democratic party Il
as certain as its present defeat. Its death
was repeatedly predicted during the long
succession Of its disappointments and dis
asters. It's hold on power was brief. It's
present discouragement is great. But an
organization which has embraced in good
and illrepute half the number of electors
in the United States will not disband.
Passing into the opposition it will remain
alert and, holding the general policy cham
younger leader evolved by events it's OPP
portunities.
The Repu blican party will re-enter upon
the administration with the certainty
that future success must be deserved OR it
can not be attained. And strong as the
push might be in that direction it is not
likely deliberately to commit itself to an
extreme protective policy. The vote by
which it reg..ins power does not warrant
excessive taxation. Indeed, as Richmond
was finally taken upon the very lines laid
down by Mcclellan AMI after q longer Pc
Rod of operation than was permitted that
Captain, so it will probably be found that
the essentials OF the fiscal policy outlined
by Cleveland will be adopted by his adver-
saries.
Some Of the Causes Of Defeat.
lCincinnati Enquirer.1
A radical change in the Civil Service
system-a change which has not improved
the service, but disappointed thousands Of
place as the Republicans still hold ng over
has undoubtedly helped Mr.. Cleveland to
his defeat; and the thousands who believe
this to be the principal cause are by no
means confined to those who were candi-
dates for places which they did not get.
We have Government by parties, and to
keep Republicans in place under Demo
cratic Administration violates an axiom
Of our political system.
Another "cause may be in the Presi-
dents conservative course in the matter Of
cooperating with Democratic candidates
in his own State.
Against all these things, and possibly
others, we must remember the prosperity
of the country under four years of Demo-
cratic rule; the safe financial policy that
has been pursued; the freedom from Off
cial scandal, and the utter failure of Re-
publican predictions that a Democratic
President would mean the payment of tho
rebel debt, the reinstatement OF the ne
groes, etc.

Disappointed, But HI ,pe -ul


That we are disappointed at the election
of Mr.. Harrison it would be useless to
deny. Aside from the disaster to the par
ty, we believe it to be a misfortune to the
country; and yet it might have been worse.
1t might have been Blaine. 1t is probable
that a more essentially common. place and
mediocre man has not entered the White
House as Chief Executive since the organ
ization of the Government; but there is
nothing in what is known of his char
acter and career to mantle with shame
the cheek cf an American citizen Con-
ssdering what might have been, and what
came very near being. the result of the
Chicago convention, this is a source of
considerable satisfaction, and as a patriot
ic citizen. aside from our fealty to the
Democratic party, we can wish President
Harrison o term Of Office honorable to
himself and useful to his country. We
look upon the defeat of the Democratic
party and the retirement of Mr. Cleveland
as a public calamity, but it is not ire
trievable and it will not prevent the order
" development of the country's progress

Government at W ashington still lives

with the assistance of the revenue cutter
Hamilton, having six feet of water 10 her

feared the Tibbetts went down with all
hands, six in number.
The British ship Rialt at Philadelphia

Hatteres, or December 2S, the wreck of a
partially dismasted American schooner,
painted black. She was laden with pine
lumber, and was g complete wreck. The
seas were making clean breach over her.
but no signs OF life were seen on board. This
is probably the missing vessel, as it answers
her description. SesfariDg men say there is

jealousy and Murder.

A terrible tragedy was enacted in Cam
den, n. j., Saturday afternoon which is,
perhaps, unprecedented ia the annals of
crine, inasmuch as a. girl Of only fifteen
years OF age was shot to death by jealous
man OF forty-fve years, who in turn ended
bis own life an instant later. Ssven years
ago Isaac Merrick and his wife, on the death
OF Mrs. Harrigau, DeighbOr, decided to
adopt her child, Sally. The neighborbood
III which the Merrck family lived was in
hebited by blacks and whites, and lay in the
region of the swampe and quagmires that
skirt the West Jersey Railroad between
Camden and Gloucester. The girl grew up
to be q beautiful young woman, aud was q
favorite with the neig hbors. For year she
was employed in j textile mill in South
Camden, but for the past few months she
mad remained at home assisting Mrs. Mer-
rick ip the household duties, the latter be-
ing in li-heallh. Merrick, until recently,
had been employed as 9 aborer cn street
repairs, but was paid eff, with bis fellow
workmep, few weeks ago on account of
the bad weather. This lack of work made
him despondent, which may have had con-
tributory influence toward the commission
Of the crime. For some time past the neigh
bors had noticed the marked attention which
Merr;ck paid to Sally Harrgan. He was ex-
tremely jealous Of sny attention paid to her
bY other persons, and would even order
her into the house when she would be play
ng with the ether children of the neighbor
heed. Mrs Merrick said that she often
called her hu5band's attention to the fact
that people were making remarks about her
Dad Sally, which led to@frequent quarrels
between him and bis wife. 1t WAS clearly
evident that the child did not like the posi-
tiou in which she was placed. Mrs. Mer-
rick says her husband was surly all day Sat-
urday and she could tell there was some
thing on bis mind In the afternoon she
went out in the yard, leaving her husband
and Sally in the kitchen together, the girl
putting on her hat aud preparing to go out.
\ moment later she heard the report of g
| pistol in the kitchen, and Fastening she saw
both Sally snd her husband lying on the
| hocr apparently dead Herscreams brought
several neighbors into the house and exam
ioaiion proved that both were dead beyond
doubt. Mira. Merrick says Tint in her ex-
citement she could net tell how many shots
were fired. Il supposed that Merrick shot
tie girl while she had her Back TO him, and
that he then placed the weapon 10 his own
head and ended his wrstched existence.
Merrick FIVE years ago vas employed as .
grave. digger at tho Catholic cemetery in
Camden. aad at the time charges were
brought against him of enticing little girls
into the cemetery. Owing 10 difficulty in
securing evidence on the more serious
charge he was convicted on charge of sim
Pile assault aud sentenced to five months
imprisonment. which he served.

There is eminent danger of the c., B.
& Q's. Withdrawing from Clinton.
General Traffic Manager E. P. Ripley of
that road who was in Clinton the other
day, said that the company was seriously
contemplating such move. The reason
is that Clinton shippers are hoycotting
the Burlington, and the Burlington has
naturally got its back up. Mr.. Ripley
made this threat, which is taken from
the Necs:
IF there is not change in the attitude
of the Clinton shippers, the c., B & @.
will withdraw and cease to do business at
this point. The road does not feel that it
has been treated right by Clinton. The
merchants have allowed themselves to be
terrorized by railroad employees and are
afraid to have their freight come oyer the
c., b. Il Q. road. If this continues much
longer we will stop all our trains over the
other side of the river Just as we did
formerly for years. We are not OBJ
liged to come into Clinton We do
city and can stop running our trains
in over the Northwestern tomorrow
if We want TO. There is nothing to hold
us here except business, and if we do not
get any in-freight We will not run our
trains into the town There is no other
town on the c., B. Il Q. road where the
people have been terrorlZed into using us
as have the people of Clinton 1t is ri,
diculous and we won't fool much longer |
We do not ask for all of the business, ro- |
even for half of it. But we would like |
our share and we would like merchants to |
ship over our road freight when they can |
get in that way better than any other |
The merchants ought to have had more |
back bone right on the start, and told |
the notifying committee that they |
would ship over what road they |
pleased. Had they all done that the
matter would have ended right there
But instead they allowed themselves to
be bulldOzed either from fear or from
hope of increase in patronage, hut the
thing must end or we will stop our trains
on the other side of the river and thus
cut off not only the in-freight. but all of
the trade which our five thousand miles
of road has opened up TO the manufac-
turers and jobbers of Clinton. The c.,
B. Il Q has done Clinton lots of good by
opening such a splendid territory for her
trade. But we don't care to be irified
with and we will certainly Withdraw if
there is not change We have no prop
erty interests to keep US in Clinton, and
we won't stay
