WASHINGTON, Aug. 2g.-The res
olution here offered by Senator
Plumb, instructiug the committee
on rules to issue orders to prevent
the sale Of liquor in the senate wing
OF the capitol, was taken up. Mr..

HANDICAPPED BY WINE.

New YORK, Aug. 29.-The sun
says: Thousands of persons saw
Isaac Murphy, the jockey, make a
most pitiful exhibition OF himself at
Monmouth park when he attempted
to ride the peerless mare Fireu2i in
the Monmouth handicap, while he
was plainly under the influence Of
liquor or drug, 80 much SO that he
WAS barely able to keep his seat
during the race, and finally tumhled
from the saddle few yards beyond
the flush. Murphy is one OF the
most brilliant horsemen of the time,
as those who have witnessed his
magnificent finishes ON Freeland,
Emperor of Norfolk, Nnlante,
Kingstone, Salvador and Firenzi
can give ample testimony, and his
honesty has never been questioned
but at times for years he has been
given to drinking to excess. The
champagne bottle has been his god,
and there is probably no man in
clubdom in New York to-day that
can finish as much of the sparkling
fluid as Murphy, who long ago
earned the title Of champagne

Reform or Ruin.

The Atlanta Constitutions, in a
vigorous article going to show how

people, says:
"Pick out 100 men at random

holders, brokers and bankers, and
they will admit that they have no
active influence in our Federal coun-
ellis. Ask them these two questions:
81. Is'the present financial system
the right one for the government to
maintain ? +
so. is there money enough to move
tho crops and meet the wants of
this rapidly developing country9
"These questions will be unani-
mously and emphatically answered
in the negative by all classes except
the favored and protected few. The
great mass of farmers, toilers and
business men feel that they are to all
intents' and purposes moro serfs, at
the mercy of q Russianized govern
ment in'the most important affairs

"a government established and
shaped by a Democratic people can
not be transformed into a despotic
machine for the benefit of a privi-
legged few without disastrous results.
Already the evils Of imperialism

ate act of a Ring trying to postpone
its own downfall by temporary APP
peals to the selfishness of taxpayers.
Never mind the consequences, say the
Financiers to the people, you will
have less to pay this year anyway
Opinions may differ as to the judg-
ment of appropriating 2 5000 a year
for the Free Library. But the law
says it shall be done. Are not
the Financiers mortgaging the
tax levies of future years in
refusing to make the legal
appropriation this year. Then there
are the schools. The appropriation
made for their maintenance is $50, 600
less than the Board of Education
asked for. That means another year
without night schools.
We might go through the list, and
point ont an element of deception and
dishonesty in fully nine out of ten of
items. But let this suffice for the
present. We call our readers atten-
ton to a fuller discussion of the
subject in our news columns. 1t ex-
poses the fraud in its naked lmpu-
dence. After reading it no one can re-
main in any doubt as to the character
of the men who rule Jersey City or
the fate of the municipality if they
remain long in control.

A SUSPICIOUS FIRE.
Lyman siIverman Arrested on a Charg
of Arson.

Hyman S~iIverman Arrested on q Charge
of Arson.
The three-story frame tenement house,
No. 200 Grand street, was almost totally
destroyed by fire early this morning, and
some circumstances connected with the
bu rning led to the arrest of Hyman Sill
verman, the proprietor of q dry goods and
notion store on the first floor of the
building, on the charge of arson.
David Suskitsky, a milkman who lives
at No. 377 Grand street, was arrested as
an accessory.
Silverman's family occupied rooms in
the rear of the store. The building was a
double tenement, and was occupied by
| Leonard B~loodgood, wife and four chill
dren; Michael O'Meallia, wife and three
| children, and Edward Mcbride, brother
| of Detective Mcbride. H. M. Vreeland's
| fish and oyster market was also located
on the first floor.
The fire originated in Silverman's store.
The rooms occupied by the families above
are a complete wreck, the furniture en-
tirely destroyed by fire n water, and
the occupants barely escaped with their
lives.
The building was owned by Joseph
Sevrecht, the proprietor of a butcher
shop at No. 276 Grand street. and was in
sured for 1880. Silverman's stock was
insured for $500 and his furniture tor $500
in the RUTGERS Insurance Company of
New York. None OF the furniture in the
rooms above was insured.
The non-appearance of Silverman or
any of his family at the fire caused con-
siderable comment among the tiremen
and the police. One of the tenants said
he was aroused by the smell of fire and
the presence of smoke. He descended
and found Silverman standing in the
hallway, crying. my children. oh, my
children, dey will be burned oop." The
man Immediately rushed into Silver
mans living apartments and found them
vacated.
Patrolman Kavanagh found Silverman
and his family at Suskitzky's, No. 377
Grand street, apparently enjoying them
selves. He placed both Sifverman and
Susritzky under arrest. Both men were
held by Justice Stilsing this morning
without bail. pending the investigation Of
the charge Of arson.

A Ring Crime.

OF all the crimes that the Ring and
its tools have yet been guilty of, the
tax levy for this year ome pretty
near being the worst.
1t is an insult to the intelligence of
the public; it is a blow at the city's
credit. 1t is a piece of scandalous
and outrageous dishonesty, the like of
which has seldom before been seen.
The Finance Board has deliberately
refused to make provisions for the
absolute expenses of the city govern
ment because the Ring has not the
moral courage to face the conse-
quences of it's criminal extravaganza.
By leaving the appropriations
nearly 500, 600 short of what they
should be, Orestes Cleveland and his
tools procure an artificial reduction
in the tax rate, and in their blind
folly they hope it will impose on the
public.
VIII the taxpayers allow themselves
to be deceived in this way? We think
not. Public sentiment is already
pretty we'll aroused respecting the
methods of the Ring. People have
learned to scrurinize their acts closely,
and to look behind their plausible ex-
cuses for the truth. We earnestly
hope, and we believe the citizens will
do so in this case.
Let us consider just two or three
items in the statement of appropria-
lions.
Last year $40, 900 was appropriated
to clean the streets and collect gar
bage. 1t was all expended in a few
months and legislative authority had
to be obtained to double it by
the issue Of bonds. Yet, this year
again only $50, 900 is allowed. Why?
Is there the faintest reason to hope
that the work can be done any
cheaper this year than last9 Read
MIR. Edelstein's explanationin another
column. Does it explain? 1t does not.
Mr.. Edelstein could not explain this
appropriation because the only ex-
PLANTATION consistent with common
sense is the true one:--The appropri-
alton was made dishonesty to de
ceive the taxpayers.
Then take the allowance for cleo
ton expenses. 1t is generally con
