first published the unique story, re-
garded it as revealing a case ofpeculiar
hardship. And SO it did. But the
E0ening Nea6s seems to have over
looked the fact that persons are COM
mitted, in this State even, for as slight
an offence as that laid at the door OF
this luckless East Newarker. Begging
is a crime in New Jersey as it is in
Connecticut, and the man who dares
to ask a slice of bread to satisfy the
cravings of hunger is liable. here as
there. to a term of Imprisonment as a
disorderly character.
The reason of the law, in both
States, doubtless, is the prevalence of
of the tramp nuisance. Connecticut is
the territory in which the
travel in the East rides to New York;
New Jersey the territory in which the
travel of the West and South reaches
the Metropolis. Hundreds of lazy fell
lows, by whom of offer of hon
est employment is regarded as an in
suit, infest the highways of the two
States. They beg only when they
cannot steal, and too often their ask
ing for aims is only a cover for seek
ing an opportunity to thieye.
AT the same time we do not believe
that the authorities banker after so
much after the society of the pests of
the road, that if one of them should
escape he would be pursued. Nor is it
the policy of the law to punish as beg
CARS, men who are sincerely looking
for work. Ii the East Newark artisan
had but made clear to the Connecti-
cut authorities, the fact that he was
not a tramp, but a man of family, he
might not have been imprisoned.
After he had made his escape to his
home, the east Newark authorities
could well have afforded the risk of
refusing to surrender him without a
requisition. Wen wager a big apple
that Governor Green would never
have granted one!

The throwing of a baby into the air
and catching him again is always a
risky practice, certain though the
tosser may be of his ~quickness of eye
and sureness of hand. A sudden and
unexpected movement of the child in
his mid-air flight may result in a cruel
fall.
A gay young father snatched up his
baby boy morning and tossed him
to the ceiling. Twice the little fellow
went flying through the air and came
down safely into waiting arms. The
third time the excited child gave a
spring of delight as his fathers hands
released him, plunged forward, and,
pitching over the fathers shoulder,
fell head downward to the floor.
When the poor baby came out of the
stupor in which he lay for hours, it
was found that, although no bones
had been broken, the brain had sus-
tanned an injury that would in all
probability render the child an imbe-
ellie.
Another baby snatched from the
floor and tossed into the air received a
fatal wound in the top of the head
from the pointed ornament of a chan
deller. Still another child slipped be-
tween her fathers hands as he caught
at her in her downward flight, and al
though his frenzied grasp onthe baby's
arm saved her from falling to the
ground, it wrenched the muscles and
sinews Sc cruelty that the girls arm
was shrunken and practically useless
to her all her life. These are extreme
cases, but the facto their occurring at
all should be enough to warn n from
the habit of relinquishing ones hold
on a child when tossing it. -BuriRgton

In the Pirates Grip.

Newark has taken more step to-
wards financial disaster. AT the meet
ing of the Aqueduct Board on Tues
day night, the City Counsel was
instructed by resolution to draft a
contract for the contamination of the
Lehigh Valley Railway water impos-
ture. The Aqueduct Board washed
its hands Of the affair by showing the
blame over on the Board of Aldermen.
Probably, when the time comes, the
Board of Aldermen will reeiprocate,
and so nobody will be to blame though
the city's six millions will disappear.
The whole case is one of lamentable
reeklessness. The Sunday Cal, which
seems to be the one paper in Newark
which has its eyes open ON this sub
ject, printed some very important
figures this week which suffice to con
vince the average intellect of the afro
city Of the steal now being effected.
The Sunday Call says

would cost 81 ,616, 100.
$4,90O,0OO.
Truly the old saying about the gods
m~addening those whom they wish to
destroy holds good in this case. 1t is
lamentable to think of the fate of
Newark with this awful incubus of
debt upon her. 1t is still worse that
the direct consequence of her surren-
der may be the turning over of Jersey
City to the Bartlett pirates.
1t is not too late yet for the citizens
to speak their will. There is salvation
for them in the Feeney bill to submit
all contracts to popular vote. Let
them speak out so that the Senate
must heed them and pass the bill.
