JOURNALISM AND OFFICE HOLDING
An Exquisite Piece of Humor, with the
ssMaiah,, as a Hero.

An Exquisite Piece of Humor, with the
sMajah'' as a Hero.
[From the Nesv York World of Sunday.l
The humor is supplied by hat re-
nowned wit and would be spellbinder,
Major Zebina Kallikrates Pangborn.
Those who have heard of his paper,
the EUening Journal, have been led to
believe that therein they would find
republican doctrine, pure, simple and
radical. They have also looked upon
it as a stanch adherent of protection,
and so it is; but the events of the past
week have shown very clearly that the
protection which it practices, what
ever it may preach, is protection of
the Ecening Journal. Being a repub-
lican paper, it naturally opposed most
strenuously the summary bouncing of
republican office holders up to within
a few days of the recent election. Then
it Topped with such celebrity as to
startle its readers. Very few compre-
hended the cause of this remarkable
act, but it became plain last week.
For Police CommlaSSSoner-C. III.
Benson.
MI. bGnSOU WAS ONCE d Duucl0T,
afterwards a preacher, and is now one
of the editors of the Eoen6ng Jour
nal. Once before he sacrificed him
self upon the altar of his country by
accepting from Mr.. Cleveland a posi-
ton as member Of the Board of Edu-
cation, and his experience in selecting
school books is said to have fitted him
pre-eminently for a place on MI,
Feeney's Police Board. Promises?
No. Pledges2 Ne0er. And yet
that flop was very amusing. But
hold! What said the Eoen-
ina Journal of Mr.. Cleveland's
appointments? Some it thought, or
said it thought, were good, but others
were bad. The praise was qualified
and the Mayor knew what that meant.
More food for the hungry, pap
for the Eoeni71g Journal. 1t came
without delay. A Journal man was
elected clerk of the Board of Finance,
and from that day to this q. Kali
krates has never spoken of Mayor
Cleveland except in tones of reveren-
tial awe. All of which greatly strength
ems the idea of the poet that
little office now and then
Is relished by the best of men.
Nevertheless, / hope and trust that
Benson and German will draw their
salaries, and further, that Kallikrates
and Dear will permit them to retain
for postage stamps and.li like Injuries at
least five per cent. thereof.

Now that the Centennial is over the
alleged humorists will have to fall
back on the weather for jokes.

1t is a shocking and a dreadful
thing to see a party, which should be
united in bonds of brotherly love,
torn with discussions. To see Will
1iams rending Large, and Large tear
ing Williams, and both strangling
Sewell to death. "Oh, it is TERRIBLE
as Lady Jane says in Patience"
Where are the moral ideas of the Re-
publican party just now? Are they
laid away in camphor2 Or were they
merely ~pasteboard images like the
cigar store Indians, just set up to make
q show?
These questions make us wonder
how the Mugwumps who went back on
Cleveland in the last election feel about

The charter and the Judges.


Now, it appears, there is still another
plegal complication over this Charter
4 business. The claim is made that the
act is unconstitutional which places in
/ the hands of the Chief Justice the de-
termination of the question which set
of city oficials-the old or the new
shall conduct the public business
pending adjudication of the main
question as to the validity of the New
Charter.
The expedient to which the Legis-
1ature resorted to bridge over a period
of doubt was one of obvious convent
ence. 1t commends itself at first sight
to common sense. But it does not on
that account follow that it is legal or
even e~xpedient in a higher sense. The
principles of law are not temporary
things which can be shifted
and shaped to meet temporary
crises. They are for all time,
and a little reflection will show that
the bestowal of this power of designat-
ing officials upon the Courts, even for
a ~momentary purpose, might set up a
new power in our Judiciary which in
time and through its extension might
be dangerous to other branches of the
government. A precedent nee estab-
lished is very easily stretched.
OF course we do not mean to broadly
express the opinion that the proposed
plan is unconstitutional. We respect
fully await the decision of the Chief
Justice on a very difficult question.
We make these remarks merely in the
interest of respect for the law, feeling
that many thoughtless persons will
probably complain should the Court
decline to make a temporary desig-
nation.
1t will be equally improper for either
side to claim a victory on account of
any action the Court may take. Its
refusal to interfere, peadeate lite, will
certainly be dictated by far different
considerations from those that will
rule in the decision of the main
question. Equally, in cas- the
Court instructs the old Boards
to remain in possession it may be
guided by a mere regard for convent
ence, while should it put the new
boards in power, a single superficial
acknowledgment of the popular will
as expressed in the recent vote, may
be the controlling element.
When the question of the constitu-
tionality of the whole act comes up,
then these accidental circumstances
will be brushed aside, and the Judges
will go down to fundamental princi-
piles in formulating their opinions.
WELL, our baseball season has fairly
started, and the boys are playing a
neat ball. 1t was nothing to win such
games as that with Worcester, or the
first one with Lowell, but it takes
nine pretty steady players, whose con-
idence in one another is not shaken
by adverse conditions, to reach way
down into a deep hole and pull out a
game which seems ~irretrievably gone.
Such a game as that of yesterday is
rarely seen on the diamond. A lead of

Love Got a Netting.

LF}ont the Rdhtooy National Democratic
A young man living in Guinea
had a misunderstanding with his
inamorita last Saturday morning.
Soon after she, with her mother, had
occasion to leave the house, when he
arose and said he was going to Brick
town to drown himself. As oon as
the young lady returned, and heard
the news she, with her mother and
some small boys, started across lots to
stop the proceedings. While running
through the low grounds she en-
countered a wide ditch, and in at
tempting to jump over, landed in the
middle of it. Nothing daunted, she
scrambled out and pursued her way,
plunging and screaming. She at last
arrived at the dock, but all too late to
save her adorer, for on coming to the
banks of the river what was her
horror to see him she loved, and for
whom she had suffered so much
wetting-sitting on the dock waiting
for her to come. He had saved him
self by changing his mind. In fact,
upon consideration, he found the
water as yet too wet and cold for
suicidal purpose. Albeit, the young
lady being the wettest, she lost no
time in getting him home again,
where the scene was instantly changed
she being wet outside and he inside.

That was a brutal attack which the
New York World made last Sunday
upon the distinguished editors OF u
venerable contemporary, the E0en9ng
Journal. 1t was most heartless,
and not like our amiable New York
rival, which, it is well known, is
printed with the milk of human kind
ness instead of printers ink.
To allude to such matters of purely
private concern as the appointment OF
Mr.. Benson and Mr.. German to pnb-
lie offices is one of those outrageous
abuses of the newspaper privilege
which only New York journalists could
be guilty of. We are very sure that if
the status quo existed for a thousand
years the Eoe1ai11g Journal would
never make the slightest allusion to it.,
unless perhaps, occasionally, and at
suitable periods it might indulge in a
few remarks in a pleasant strain OF
eulogy.
Besides the World does an impos-
sible thing in attempting to account
for the various f1ops of our venerable
and only-competitor. That is
something all the politicians in Jersey
City have striven to do in vain. The
truth is, we believe, Major Zebina
Kallikrates Pangborn has occasional
spasms of conscience. In general he
allows the wicked men who work with
him to lead him by the nose through
the Shiny ways of republicanism. He
is simple and confiding and easily
misled by Benson and the rest
of the boys. But every once
in a while conscience gets hold
of him like an attack of the govt or
commissions, or cholera infantum, and
then the results are visible to all men
in the flop that the Eoening Journal
makes to the democratic side. How
Dear enjoys the circus we do not
know, though we should like to; but
of course all he can do is grin and
bear it,
Meanwhile we wait with eagerness
to see the great reforms that the ex-
Rev. Benson will make in the Police
Department, for which the World
thinks his service as a School Director
so eminently fits him.
