she frequently brushed it from her blood
shot eyes with her trembling hands.

A cHILD's STORY.
Katie Mccormick, her fourteen year old
daughter, a pale, emaciated child, upon
whose pinched features want and sorrow
had impressed a mature expression far be-
yond her years, appeared against the
woman. With trembling voice the child
told her story as she kept back the tears
with q great effort.
She Said that last night the landlord
notified the family hat ii the mother re-
turns home they will have to leave the
house. He did not care so much for the
rent. but he could not have the woman
around there raising disturbances and
acting in a disgraceful manner She also
said that about five weeks ago her mother
returned home from Snake Hill, where
she had served @ term for drunk
enness and disorderly conduct.
She kept sober for about ten
days, and SINCE then she has been con-
stantly drunk. She has beaten her hus-
band and children and i'll treated them
continually, until the family could stand
her conduct no longer.
HER PLEADING DAUGHTER DEAD.
The family, she continued, came from
England about four years ago and the
mother has spent most of the time since
drinking and carousing. Her eldest
daughter used to come to the police court
and plead with the magistrate for her, but
want and misery undermined her health,
and a year ago she died.

which affected every one in Court, the

The Associated Press formally
thanks Mr.. Cleveland and his secre-
tary, Col. Lamont, for the unfailing
courtesy shown at the White House to
members of the press during the late
administration.
1t was characteristic of Mr.. Cleve-
lands regime that the people and their
rights were always the first matter of
consideration.
The people, as ultimate rulers OF the
country, have a right to the fullest in
formation on all public questions, and
the newspapers represent the people
when they treat of subjects of national
import.
Nothing can be a more serious VIOLA
tion of the spirit of the Constitution
than any attempt to put aside peril
nent inquiry into the progress of
public affairs.
President Harrison and his young
English secretary have assumed a
position Of lofty reserve toward news

TOOK THE CITY BY STORM.
The Boom of 18th Jersey City News" was
Heard in Paterson.

Heard in Paterson.
The first issue of THE JERSEY CITY
EVENING NEWS was published last
night, and took the city by storm, over
eleven thousand copies being disposed
of within an hour. THE NEWS was
started by a number of newspaper
men from New York, who were tired
of making money for somebody else,
and who concluded that there was q
GOOD field for q daily in Jersey City.
They raised $50, 600 capital stock and
invested in a $50, 900 Hoe press. The
event of the first issue was celebrated
last night by q reception and banquet
in the rooms of THE NEWS, at which
many prominent men OF Jersey City
took part.
The paper promises to take a place
in the first rank of newspapers in this
State, and the proprietors made but
one mistake. and this consists in max
ing it Democratic in politics. Mr..
James Luby, the managing editor, has
for years been city editor of the New
York Herald; as such he was always in
favor of reform and honest govern
ment, and he never saw AN abuse but
he whacked away at it with all the
power of his virile pen. Ii Mr.. Luby
expects to find honest government in
Jersey City or among the Democrats
Of this State he viii be sadly mistaken,
and consequently he and the party he
now represents will soon fall out; if he
desires to create reform he has taken q
task upon himself compared to which
the cleaning of the Aegean stables
dwindles into NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

1t is not so much for the purpose OF
boasting of our enterprise as to call
attention to the intelligent treatment
that local matters receive in this paper
that we make mention of the special
information published in u news
columns yesterday of the movements
of the Jersey contingent in the great
inaugural parade. There was, TO
be sure, a general interest on
all sides in the details of the
procession; but there was besides a
special interest as to the part our
home boys took in it. Both curiosities
were met in the four columns we de-
voted to the inaugural ceremonies yes
terday. Besides publishing the adj
mirable United Press report OF the en-
tire display, we furnished the readers
of THE JERSEY CITY NEWS through
the medium of special dispatches with
the particulars of the part our local as
~soeiations played. 1t is thus that we
propose always to get the local news
for our readers, whatever expense OF
pains or money may be required.

rbe Decline In Immigration.

Superintendent Henry j. jackson,
of Castle Garden, reports that the ar
rival of immigrants in the Port of New
York is decreasing. For the six months
ending February 30 the number was
81. 522 less than during the correspond
ing period of the preceding years.
The truth is, the capacity of the
country, or at least the more accessi-
bic portions of it, for receiving immi-
grants has become well-nigh ex-
hausted. 1t is true that, in the far
West and Northwest, the newcomer
may achieve prosperity by the tillage
of the land; but the East is crowded
with labor of every description, and
new settlers injure the prospects of the
older residents without acquiring any
advantages whish compensate for the
harm they do.

ONCE upon a time a man invented a
clock which would tell the year, the
month, the day of the month and
week, the hour, minute and second,
the stade.of The tide, the phases of the
moon, the date of The next eclipse, and
the transit OF Venus, and the weather
probabilities for several days in adj
vance.
1t was q marvel of mechanism.
Every one to whom he explained it,
thought it was a wonder, and would
beat all the clocks that ever came out
of Rotterdam.
Then the man built the clock, and it
wouldn't go.

stroyed by fire this morning. The original
cost of the building was 500, 900; insurance,

IA 9huNACA
Cat for IA Rat.
A rat and a cat may be seen playing to-
gether almost any day at a livery stablein
this city. The cat is q big black Tom,
with long whiskers, a short tail and yellow
eyes. The rat is a sleek and fat specimen
Of the genus rodent, and has a cunning
but prosperous and contented look. The
cat is fierceness and savagery itself, and
bears the scars of innumeratle battles, not
alone with rats and other ~felines, but with
dogs as well, and he has never been
whipped and has never been known
to decline a fight. The rat was
caught in a wire trap one night
last week. He was SO unccm-
monty large and looked so ugly as he
stood up on his hind legs and ratified the
wires al his cage that his captors resolved
to haze some sport with him and Tom.
The cat and he were accordingly taken
oycr to a n~cighboring saloon, the doors
closed, holes stopped up, and q select Jew
gathered to witness the fight.

evening was a mock wedding, in which

were made one, by Dominic Emil
Kahn. Twenty-Five young girls in

Wcrts Bill FIounces.

Now there is another hitch over the
liquor tyranny repeal bill at Trenton.
The Werts bill was not presented in
the Senate last night because sundry
and divers Senators and Assemblymen
brought from home sundry and divers
hounces which their old lady o
stituents of both sexes had invented
! for its decoration.
The trouble is that every n wants
Xtoo much. Senator Baker wants the
bill fixed up SO that it will take a
microscope to find out the difference
between the new tyranny and the old.
Nhe liquor element, or, at least, some
it's representatives, want to pass
he bill in a shape that will ruin Mr.
aker's chances of reelection to the
mate. Neither side will yield an
bch, and SO there is a big chance that
lere will be no liquor legislation, and
Republican Governor will be elected
"a November.
BY the way, what is II the point at is
sue in this whole struggle? Is it the
Squestion whether or not Messrs. Baker,
Smith, and Wyckoff shall go to the
Senate again? 1t would appear that
these three gentlemen think SO what
ever the rest of the State may imagine.
