THE Paterson Press has taken high
ly honorable ground in the matter of
the Stuhr-McD Donald contest. 1t serves
warning on the Republican leaders
that their iniquitous plan of ousting
Senator Mcdonald will recoil on
themselves. The Press says:-"The
idea Of popular sovereignty is very
dear to the people, and they will not
tamely allow t~echnicalities to defeat
the will Of the majority if that will is
apparent, as it clearly is in the Hud-
son case
Coming from a Republican paper,
this is significant, 1t emphasizes the
declaration which we have repeated
" made, that the shameless partisan
ship Of the Gardner committee has
estranged the sympathy even
Of Republicans. The committee
will do well to heed the warning of
the Press. If they do the thing which,
it seems. they contemplate, they and
their hackers will be treated as trail
tors and revolutionists by the liberty
loving people of the State.
In another column we print the re-
marks Of Principal Green, respect
the State Normal Schools, which he
describeds.as the Mothers of Teachers.
He might have said they were the
source from which springs the popu-
lar education of the State. They are
among the best of our institutions,
and there is no purpose for which
taxpayers more cheerfully see the
public money dispensed than the
training Of competent instructors of
the rising generation.
WE appeal to the Camden Courier,
as a matter OF mercy, if not of justice,
to give poor Doctor Pangborn and
his personal organ some brief rest.
The daily agony OF castigation by
staunch Republican papers is more
than humanity a stand, and it Is
bl~ood-curdling to think of the pos Z
sible results if the torture does not
cease. The Coaraeg's blow is a cruel
one-chiefiy because il is SO very
true. Here it isl
Ii looks as il the Jersey City Joa,nal was not
altogether pleased with the effort to show that
Mayor Cleveland is not entitled to the office, Its
reporters are criticising Lawyer Record for pro-
cseding in HIS own way with the case without
letting them aud the enemy into his confidence.
1t is 10 be hoped Counsellor Record will continue
TO manage his case without giving pointers to
his opponents,
Poor little Hebetudinous (by re-
quest) OF the TrentonT4na has found
a mares nest of the most absurd kind,
and the whole State is laughing at
him this morning. He alleges that
certain democratic freeholders of Mer-
Ger county have tried to bride the
Republican members to vote for q
Democratic organization Of the Board.
The story is a ridiculous fabrication
on its face. If it were true, we would
be forced to believe that the Demo
Gratis did not bid high enough as the
Republicans refused the offer.
TIE Eoening Journal in its blind
hostility to every popular movement
advocates the idea of the Rev.
Brooke therefore,, a Boston clergy
man, that a weekly half-holiday would
be o advantageous to working
mel than the eight hour day. We
cannot see the matter in that light.
The object Of the short daymovenent
is not distinctively to give the worker
a season of amusement or wen OF
rest. 1t is to SO remodel his life that
it may afford scope for mental, moral
and physical evolution: it is to pro
tect him from constant 9 and tear
through daily exhaustion; it Is to give
him an opportunity for home life,
and a chance for cultivating thought
and feeling, to the betterment of his
