Sad Story of NeeIeot.

Il. 80 SeDAy Va 4NC6AOOes
A sad story Of want and neglect was at
the.form of four little girls, the eldest only
nine years old. The children belong to Mrs.
Flynn, of No. 81 Polk street, and were at
n time placed in the Poorhouse through
the efforts of Nh. Yatman. Mrs. Flynn
hen said she would do better and the
children were allowed to go back to their
mother. The woman did not keep her
promise very long, however, and in a few
weeks she had drifted back in her old
habit of beer drinking and neglecting her
children. Her husband does not support
his wife or children, and so far as can be
learned, he hardly ever makes his appear
ance at the house.
The children have been taken care of
for the past week almost entirely by Mrs.
Poltney and Mrs. Herman, of No. 81
Polk street, who brought them to the pre-,
cinct last night. As soon as the little un-
fortunates were at the precinct they were
put to bed on a cot in a room adjoining
the waiting room. Little Agnes, the
youngest of the four, was hungry and
cried for something to eat. Lieutenant
Barrett gave the infant some condensed
milk, which appeased it's hunger for a
time. The other three, Lizzie, Maggie
and Katy, aged five, seven and nine re-
spectfvely, seemed TO be quite contented
in their new quarters, and it was not long
before the four sisters were sound asleep.
No doubt the cot was the best bed the
little waits had slept in for a long time.
Agnes is only two years old, and her
wrists are about the size of a grown mans
thumb. Mrs. Flynn went away yesterday
morning and had not been heard of up to
be turned over to Superintendent Yatman
to-day

Let the peonle subsotibe.

The New York Herald is certainly
the Peoples paper upon great occa-
sions. 1t sympathizes with the popu-
lar spirit, and it asserts popular rights
and voices popular desires more
truthfully and vigorously than any
other organ of public opinion.
In respect to the projected EXPOSE
ton of 1892, it has at once taken the
lead of the entire press of the country
by a proposition for the raising of the
necessary funds, which is certainly
spirited and which, we are sure, will
Immediately meet with a cordial re-
spouse from every heart and every
purse.
The proposition is that the vast sum
of money, necessary to establish the
great show. be raised by a popular
subscription to shares or bonds, the
par value of which should be about
$40, thus placing them, as the Herald
says, 80 low in value that every citi-
zen in ordinarily good circumstances
would take one or more.n
One or more.
There is the virtue of the plan. 1t
suits every pocket. The. millionaire
may subscribe for 10, 600 shares, while
the clerk at $75 a month may take
one, or may even combine with his
roommate, to help along the great
national enterprise.
Who can doubt that a million Of
shares will be sold? And d million
of shares means ten millions OF dollars,
and ten millions Of dollars capital will
secure us an Exposition to which that
of 1876 was not a circumstance. This
is an immense scheme, and the highest
praise Is due to the Herald for origin
ating it.
For our own part we are happy to
follow in the lead of that great paper
in recommending the plan. Over
here in Jersey we are heart and soul
with New York in this whole Expo
sition project. We feel that a share
of the honor and the profit will fall to
us, and our only ambition is to help
the great work alongso as ITO fairly earn
all we gain.

. Place OF Amusement.


"Jacky, we beg his pardon
John J. Lynch, is hurt because THE
SUNDAY MORNING NEWS yesterday
described in plain, unvarnished eolors
the scenes of Saturday night in his
t'place of amusement" We are not
particularly affected by Mr.. Lynch's
complaint. We fully expected it. Long
experience has taught us that the one
thing places like his and people like
him cannot endure is the truth.
Why should Mr.. Lynch complain?
If his place is harmless we can do him
no injury by giving its aspects publi-
city any more than we could harm
Manhattan Beach or the Metropolitan
Opera House by describing
what takes place within their
precincts. But Mr.. Lynch com
plains that we do hurt him; then it
must be because the business of his
''place of amusement" will not bear
the light of day.
Here is the fact:-Mr. Lynch con-
ducts a place in which liquor is sold
and In which a large number of young
men and women co~ngregate to dance
and carouse. 1t is claimed that a
large number of the patrons are re-
spectable-that is, that they have not
yet strayed from the ways of virtue
and honesty. 1t is admitted that
many of the patrons are lost sheep.
This Is just precisely the worst COM
bination In the world.
If all the attendants at the place
were morally corrupt, its influence
would be much less injurious. They
could not corrupt each other. AS it
is, the bad must inevitably lead the
good astray. That is the law of all
nature. A diseased sheep will ruin
the whole flock, a bad apple will
faint a whole barrel, a single woman
of loose virtue will corrupt all her sis
tiers with whom she comes into inter
course, and one young thief or young
tough will create dozens.
All this is plain. 1t needs no argu-
ment, and no iteration. Every father
of family in Jersey City viii appre-
ciate the situation.
But, besides, the place is a nuisance
to the neighbors, and they complain
of 1t. That alone would be sufficient
to condemn it. 1t should be dealt
with just as the police of New York
have dealt with Billy McGlory's,
''The" Aliens, and Tom Gould's no
forious dives.

those of mere ordinary humanity, we
cannot help thinking that Governor
Lowrey has correspondingly dimln-
ished the dignity of the State OF Missis-
sippi and his own high office. We are
not sure that the arrest and extradltlon
OF Sullivan was not q good thing. Bet
ter late than never" is a very good mot
to In respect to the enforcement OF law
but assuredly there was a good deal
of small ~spite-or the appearance o
tin bundling Sullivan off to jail
just because a few people shook hands
with him at his hotel.
Had Sullivan showed a staggering
defiance of authority, had he been
reduced to submission by the clubs o.
policemen, and taken down in hand
cuffs under armed escort, it might
have been desirable to show an exam
pie of severity; but he went down
quietly, of his own accord, in com-
pany with an officer whom he could
have picked up and thrown out of
the window If he chose. OF
course, Sullivan deserves no
credit for his peaceful demeanor; it is
the duty of Governors and sluggers
alike to obey the law; but under the
circumstances it was surely small and
foolish, too, to exercise any special
rigor upon SO subdued a person.
The whole effect of such conduct is
rather to excite the sympathy of GER
tain classes in the prisoners behalf,
and in the eyes of the toughs OF the
country he will hereafter be a martyr
well as a hero.

A HYpocrite and a Sneak.

Was there ever a cheaper demagogue,1
more impudent political twister and uu-
blushing fraud in Ohio politics than j.
B. Foraker? And is it possible that the
duplicity, brazen assumptions and OBJ
vious double dealing he is now practicing,
can again succeed in making him Chief
Executive of our great Commonwealth?
Take this one point: He instigated and
quietly urged the passage of the Owen
Sunday Law. He forbade the Hamilton
County Senators to vote against it, and
they obeyed him. This to make him
self solid in his church in the country
districts. Then, for two years he hob
nobbed with the brewers and saloon
keepers of Cincinnati, pledging them
immunity from the operation of the law,
and surreptitiously aiding theRepublican
courts here in abrogating the measure
for which his German organs laudedl
him to the skies as the champion OF
Sunday beer and amusements! Now,1
after two years qualification, when the,
courts refuse to longer prostitute
themselves for his benefit, he is forced.
to show his hand, and out he bursts
with bombastic, raw-beef-and-bloody
bones letter instructing the Mayor
to smite without mercy these Sunday
law violators led into the violation andi
encouraged to resistance to the law By
Governor Foraker himsalf, through his,
pet personal organs, the Volksblats and
Freie Presse! And more than three,
fourths of the English Republican pa,
pers of the State-all the Methodist
prints, of course, inclusiVe-are aaunt-
ing that letter at the head of their coll
umns as an evidence that Foraker is
pure Christian and fearless temperance
law enforcer! While the German Re-
publican papers as fanatically declare
that he opposed the Owen law-opposedl
its enforcement, and is the champion Of
open Sundays and personal liberty, de-
feated in his noble desires therefor by
fanatical Police Court!
Nearly all his active supporters and
wire pullers in this city are connected
with the manufacture of our traffic in
liquors, he appointing his henchmen to
office to supply them with money to-
bribe, delude and debauch voters in his
interest Meantime he is using Lamp
son and his famous letter to Mayor,
Mosby as bait for the church and crank
vote in the rural districts; and further
he is planning to deliberately betray
every liberal voter deceived by the Ger
man Republican press, George Cox, John
Legner, Otto Hof and their gang, into
supporting him and his ticket! The Re-
publican program in Ohiois to professanyi
thing and everything to all classes to
gain the Governor and Legislature next
fall.-Cincinnati Southwest. !

A Laughing Plant.

Palgrave, in his work on Central
and Eastern Arabia, mentions plant
whose seeds produce effects analogous
to those of laughing gas. The plant
is a native of Arabia. A dwaft variety
is found at Kasum, and another var
iety at Oman, which attains Il hight of
from three to four feet, with woody
stems, wide-spreadiug branches. and
light green foliage. The flowers are
produced in clusters and are yellow in
color. The seed pods contain two or
three black seeds of the size and shape
of French bean. Their flavor is
little like that of Opinm; the taste is
sweet and the odur from them produ-
ces sickening sensation and is slight
ly offensive. These seeds when pull
verized and taken in small doses,
operate upon person in a peculiar
manner. He begins to laugh loudly
boisterously, and then sings, dances,
and cuts up all kinds of fantastic ca
pers. The effect continus about an
hour, and the patient is extremely
comical. When the excitement ceases
the exhausted individual falls into ii
deep sleep, which continues for .an
hour or more, and when he awakeus
he is utterly unconscious that any such
demonstrations have been made by
Scient,fc Anatriean.

These are matters which should be

good Foraker man, and, though the
board has made complaint to the Gov
ernor, no action has been taken.
Why d oes the law permit the Govern

election boards over the State?
1t is that simply the Foraker machine
may have that much more power

registration law applies he may have
$500 or $500 more of patronage to throw
