WANTING IN COURAGE.

The Free Traders Of the House did not dare
to face an immediate vote on the Senate Tariff
bill, and therefore resorted to a humiliating
change Of rulings TO deprive the House Of a
chance to decide directly what it would do.
This is significant confession, and it may
presently appear so disastrous to the free
trade managers that they will conclude to re-
port back the Senate bill with some argument
against it, relying ON their ability to prevent
direct vote during the crowded closing weeks
of the session.
A division Of opinion appears among the
most exalted reformers. Some hold that the
passage Of strong protective measure by a
Republican House would be the only thing
necessary TO turn both agricultural and man
ufacturing regions against the tariff, and to
insure free-trade success four years hence.
These people forget that it would serve ex-
actly the same purpose if the Senate bill should
be passed by the present House, all Repub-
lcans and few Democrats being allowed 70
vote for that measure. The other faction says,
with more reason, that the so-called RefOrmers
cannot afford TO acknowledge that they mean
to prevent any reduction Of revenue until they
can get exactly the sort of reduction they want.
They urge, also, that after the people have

The strike in Brooklyn presents an onnnous
aspect. Already one man has met his death
and several have been injured through the
action of the strikers. Although the stable
man found dead probably was killed by an
accidental fall in his attempt to escape mai
treatment from some of the strikers, they are
morally, if not legally, responsible and the
occurrence should give them pause. The COM
pany has thus far refused to confer with Its
former employees position which it will not
be easy to justify, since an adjustment of the
strike under these circumstances is impossible
without a complete breakdown by the men,
This can hardly be looked for, and doubtless
any attempt to run cars will be stoutly resisted.
There is yet time for an amicable settlement
Probably the ill-success of the company in pro
curing new men will incline it to make some
concessions.

Every Republican in the counties OF Orange

to-day TO go to the polls tomorrow and vote
for Mr.. Odell for Senator. Bad roads or bad

A week spent in fruitless search for jurors
and the probability of favorable consideration
Of n motion for a change OF venue in the Cleary
trial open up an interesting field of inquiry
concerning the treatment of notorious Grim
inals. One of two things seems certain: either
a defendant who happens to be the subject
of abundant newspaper talk cannot be put on
trial in the county where he is best known, or
else the law must be modified so as to permit
Jury to be made up OF men who possess inteM-
gence and know what is going on in the world.
The Senatorial question being settled, the
Democratic majority in the New-Jersey Legis-
lature now have time to give attention to otner
matters. II is noticeable that they show no
disposition TO attack the subject of temperance
legislation as 10 which there has been good
deal of talk Anything done here would be OF
a negative character, and it is evident that
opposition in their own ranks is feared When
ever the matter has been referred to in caucus
it has been postponed. This is encouraging as
far as it goes; but the liquor interest is doubt
less too strong to leave the laws passed last
wear undisturbed.
A valuable addition to the sum total OF
knowledge concerning the affairs of this State
is furnished in the report on the condition OF
the Indians still living in our borders, which is
TO be laid before the Legislature tonight. Our
Albany correspondent has had an opportunity
to examine the report in advance Of its prcsen-
tation, and summary Of its more interesting
features is elsewhere published. II appears
that there are about 5000 Indians living on
the six reservations. The moral condition Of

licn lasting several years in different
courts. The case was that of Soro,a S..
Alexander, an elderly splnster of Brat

ander, her brother. wealthy Chicagoan,
now deceased. The litigation grew OF t
of alleged breaches of agreements made
by the deceased with his sister upward
of 90 years ago. According to the stat e
ments made by Miss Alexander her
brother was axious to have her return to
the home of their parents in Biattleboro.
ond offered to pay her $1,000 a year if
she would assume the care of the cd
folks. She accepted, and for number
of years took care of them. About three
or four years before the death of her
brother Miss Alexander was about to be
married, when he wrote to her, urging
her not 10 marry and leave her parents
He agreed to pay her an additional Sl0,

as long as they lived. With this prom
Use before her the wedding was declared

did moi fulfill his part of the contract.
The case was before Judge Clifford, and

the estate in favor of Miss Alexander.
In a motion for new trial, Judge Cliff

THE ANGEL PAIN.

Art thou an angel have felt thy touch
OF keen, dread agony. Thou on my brow
Has pressed full oft thine heavy iron hand,
And made me shudder and grow sick at heart
And deem thou art my stern, yindictive foe
Not thine the gentle touch Of friendship sweet,
That blesses while it cheers the weary one
friend doth solace give, and make us glad
That she will visit us, and oft We lay
Our hand in hers, and like a trusting child
Compose ourselves to pleasant dreams but thou
Pain, dagger hast within thine hand,
And we would thee command to go away,
Were it not vain, for thou persistent art,
And willingly thy hold will not release.
lis hard, o Pam, to think an angel form
Is thine, for thou dost seem. on burning wing
To bear Deaths mandate to the stricken one,
That writhes within tn grasp so powerful,
And he dothpra that thou will soon depart
And visit him, o cruel Pain, no more.
Art thou an augel Come ;, it'll smiling face,
And place no thorns upon the brow, to pierce
The throbbiug temples, and lay bare the nerves
That culver with the pangs thou dost infict
But let thy mission be gentle one
ofpeace. Oh fright us not with visagc grim,
And grasp so firm that we grow chill with dread
To raise sigh in human breast or ear.
Art thou an angel 1t is said thou art,
That thou dOst guard the limits God has set
To mans well being and his life that thou,
To check his wanderings dost send thy darts,
And warning give of danger nigh-tO save,
And not destroy, thy will.
Olet me then,
In meekness learn the lesson tiou dost teach,
And then, perchance, 1 to my bosom thee
Nay press, and call thee friend, God given friend
And thou wilt touch me when go astray,
And tell me of the bounds which God has made
And warn me not o'erstep these marks Of his,
Nor disobey his righteous, just DEGREES.
Then come, and will press my cheek to thine,
And ask that as thou would'st my body keep
From peril, so my conscience thou wilt touch
At sins approach, that thou my soul mayst guide
To life eternal them thy mission done,
Thou, angel Pain, wilt ne'er attend me more.
