The Wcehawken Town Council met
last night. The Councilmen were all
present with the exception of Council
man Cunningham. who is dangerously
ill of pneumonia. Business is rather dull
in Weehawken just now and the Council
had little business to transact.
A number OF bills including those Of
the police and street laborers were paid
Counsellor William Albeit was in the
Council Chamber, and chatted pleasantly
with Mayor Simon Kelly and the other
staunch Democrats who took the oppor-
tunity to greet him.

A REJECTED EDITOR.

The United States senate has under
taken torebuke independent journalism
by refusing to confirm the nomination.
of MURAT HALsTEAD as minister to
Germany. Mr.. HALSTEAD's offenSe
consisted of rebuking certain senators
once upon time for their supposed de-
votion to the interests of the Standard
Oil monopoly. There was never any
effort to diSpreye what he had SAID,
probably for the reason that it could
not be contradicted. But the senators
who had been put On Mr.. HALsTEAD's
black list treasured up the incident, and
have now found their opportunity to pay
off the score. The mistake Mr.. HAL
STEAD made was in abandoning his edi-
torial station to accept political favor.
He had no right to expect the senate to
confirm his nomination. and the fact
that he allowed his name to go before
that body after his abuse of its MEM
bers detraets from his reputation as an
independent journalist. The action of
the senate will not have the effect that
body desired of lettering the news
papers from critlcising it. There are
hundreds of independent editors all
over this country who wouldn't give a
snap of their finger for the best Office in
the gift of any administration.

THE NEW OPERA HOUSE.

st. Paul is to be congratulated that
the opera house deal is not a failure
after all. The bargain was consum-
mated last evening by which the syndi-
cate get control of the property they
had been negotiating for at a price sat-
isfactory to all parties, and now the
work will go ON. We have assur-
ance that no time is to be lost
in beginning work OH the new building,
and that by the opening of the regular
theatrical season next fall st. Paul will
have the finest theater building west of
New York. The investment is sure to
prove profitable one to the gentlemen
who have put their money in it, and we
are sure that the people of this city
will not begrudge them cent Of
all the money that they will make
out of it. The benefits to the city from
this enterprise VIII be very great. In
the first place, it will be worth great
deal as an advertisement. In the sec
ond place, first-claSs theater is an alb
soIute necessity to a city of this size.
And in the third place, it will be great
aid to our commercial interests; for
when our friends from the country
come up to trade with us, and have to
stay over night, they want a respecta-
bic place of amusement where they can
find a pleasant evenings entertainment.
1t would have been calamity, if not a
positive disgrace to the city, to have
permitted the season to pass without
building the new opera house.

THE TITLED sNOB.

The hungry officeseekers are all angry
with Vice President MORTON because
he fails to interest himself in their ap-
that their anger does not worry Mr..
MORTON particle. He simply talks
back to them in VANDERBILT vernacu-
lar, and goes Oh enjoying himself. The
vice president takes aphilosophie yiew.ef
his station, which, while itmay not be al
together commeudable, is at least admit
rable. He looks upon the office of vice
president as his private property, be-
cause he bought it and paid high fig
ure for it. and therefore he is relieved
of all obligations to the general public.
Mr.. MORTON knows that he received
his nomination in Chicago in consid-
Grafton Of his wealth and of the amount
of money he was expected to contribute
to the Republican campaign fund. He
complied with his part of the contract
by putting up the full amount of his as
sessment. He also knows that the
money given III return for the honor of
the nomination played an important
part in securing the success of the
ticket. Therefore, according to his
view of it, he is relieved of all party OF
personal obligations, and consequently
does not propose to have the life wor-
ried out of him by importunate Office
seekers. He doesn't expect to hold the
office more than four years, and doesn't
care tinkler's mill appendage whether
he gains the favor of politicians or not.
He is in Washington, to cut a swell in
society, and he is going to do it regard
less of what the public think of his
movements.

THE MEXICAN TRADE.

1t is reported that there is move
ment in Mexico adverse to the importa-
ton of American lard. A fewyears ago
there were large anticipations of trade
with that country. American capital
and enterprise went there and built
railroads and invested in industries, but
these have since passed under English
control mainly. and that country is reap
ing the commercial advantages that
would naturally come to the United
States. The figures given show that
about four times as much money goes to
Mexico for its products as comes back
for the manufactures of the United
States. The dealers there buy mainly
in foreign lands instead Of from their
neighhors. The tariff of this country is
assigned as prominent reason for this.
The manufactures of this country
ought to nearly supply the demands of
all the markets Of the three Americas,
and there is wrong management some
where when they are monopeaiZed by

The GLOBE is not keeping tab on Mr..

cannot give positive answer. Wehave
an impression that WHITELAw REID

slipped up on it. We also remember
that ROBERT LINCOLN supported
GRANT for a third term in the memora-
BILE Chicago convention of 1880, and it is
popularity supposed that no man who
orce followed Roscoe CoNKLING's lead
can ever become favorite with the
BLAINE family. Still, BLAINE and
young LINCOLN sat together at GAR

A MINISTERS OF TO-DAY.

In the division of the clergy on the
subject of the Sunday newspaper, the
small minority which opposed the pop
ular and progressive firSt-day-of-the-
week publications was badly worsted,
and locally the discussion has been
dropped. Echoes of the short-lived bat
Tie Tie continue to come in, like the mutter-
ings after STORM, ffram various parts of
the country; but Like the rainbow-to
continue the Simile-cOmes the deelara-
ton of Rev. ROBERT MCINTYRE, of the
Methodist Episcopal church of Chicago.
This bread-minded eecIesiast has lifted
himself out of the holier- than-thou at
mosphere which is too generally found
enveloping the discussions of secular
matters by the clergy. He spoke Oh
the Sunday paper as follows:
The press aud the pulpit are one. God has
joined them together. do not agree with
ministers who denounee the daily papers and
regard them as foes-workers of iniquity.
The editor is more powerful man than the
preacher. He speaks to 10 100, 800 geo,
dee, Gao. we to but few hundreds. If con-
gregations forsake the churches for the Sun
day paper it is because the papers have what
the preachers have not, the power to touch
the people. cannot speak against the Sun
day newspaper. 1t is with the people; its
workers are among and Of them. 1t touches
every chord of life, and is the greatest power
for good on earth. It is practical not the

real, not specter like him. 1t is almost the
only reading and education had (at an early

Judge Young yesterday filed his de-
cision in the Hennepin county court in
the matter Of the appeal of the Mime
apolis & St. Louis Railway company
from the order of the board of railroad
anu warehouse commissioners of Min
nesota, ordering the closing of sleeping
car berths, to the effect that the COM
mlssloners, or the court, had no power
to make or enforce any such order, and
ordered that it be rescinded.
eff any regulation in the manage
ment OF sleeping ears" says the deei-
sion, us needful, it is within the juris-
dlctlon of the interstate commission to
take action, and not that of state CON-
mission.'
The matter came up for trial over a
year ago before the court. The order
OF the commission, from which the COM
pany appealed, was as follows: sIt is
ordered that on and after the LIST day of
January, each upi er berth in any sleep
Ing car, run or OPP, Ed ed upon any rail-
road within this state, shall be and re-
main closed whenever the berth be-
meath the same shall be occupied by a
passenger, until such upper berth shall
be needed for actual occupancy by some
the same" After further statements,
it requires that such an order shall be
printed and fastened Oil each sleeper.
The Judge found two questions on
the answers to which he founded his
decision. The first was. "Do the facts
presented call for any action on the
part Of the commission" Judge Young
seemed to think that the duties of the
commission were to see that the rail-
roads performed their duties in accord
ance with law, but had no power to
impose new duties upon them. In re-
gard to the second question; Had the
commission any jurisdiction or authority
to make the Order?" the Judge held
that as the SleeperS were on through
trains the matter would not come under
the jurisdiction of the state commission,

LONDON, March 29.-Mr. Gladstone

at least, the ancient injunction to
''Speak no ill of the dead" is faithfully
