TAN SALES.

The act now before the District Com
mittee in regard to sales of property for
delinquent taxes is at one point so ex-
ceedingly defective that either its inn
mediate amendment should be effected
or its final passage should be prevented.
The publication of tax lists in
pamphlet form, If that is the only mode
of notification intended, is in every way
Objectionable.
Every man interested in these tax
sales should have reasonabe--that is,
customary notice. Now. the publica-
ton and heterogeneous distribution of
three thousand pamphlets containing
delinquent tax lists do not furnish the
customary notice. For news affecting
them the citizens of Washington are ac-
customed to look to their local papers
Stacks of pamphlets on the clerks desk
at the city buildings cannot give either
the publicity or information in regard to
these sales which publication, say in
The CRITIC, would ensure, The bill
should, of course, require that public
announcements of this nature be made
in the usual, expected, and regular
manner-that is, through the local
press.

My DEAR Dir. LIGnTnILL:
1t gives me great pleasure to state
that you effected remarkable cure of
deafness and DISCHARGE from the ears in
the case of my cousin, Marcus G.
Roessle, and that the cure has proved as
permanent as 1t was radical. feel sure
that without your skillful aid my cousin
would have been deaf man all his
life. Knowing of other cases in which
you have been equally successful, 1
cheerfully give you leave to refer to me
at any time, and hope that your prac-
tice in Washington will prove distin
guished success.
Yours, truly, 7. f. RoEssLE.

The tremendous flood of the Missis-
sippi has broken the levees wherewith
it has been sought to restrain the mighty
current of the Father of Waters as
easily as Samson broke the bands of
straw with which Delilah had bound
him. The plain factis that it is beyond
the power and ingenuity of man to con-
troll the floods of great river like the
Mississippi, flowing between low banks,
by any artificial levce system. The
Chinese have tried it with the Yellow
River for thousand years, The re-
suits have been so disastrous to life and
property that the lIoang-Ho has been
justly termed "China's Sorrow"

THE DISPOSITION TO apply legis a.
tive remedy to evils Of all sorts finds eX-
emplification in the resolution which
the Hon. Frank Lawler has introduced
in The House looking toward simplti-
cation of the spelling of the English
language. The Chicago Congressman
has doubtless now and then mad to
wrestle with the intricacies of orthog-
rapby and knows how it is himself.
OF Course Congress cannot control the
English language, but it can direct the
methods of the Congressional Record,
and Mr.. Lawler's idea is to so amend
that bright and entertaining journal
that hereafter obsolete spelling shall
give way to new mode, of which
"filosophy," "fotograf," "esofagus"
are given as examples.

lT is VERY DIFFICULT to conceive of
an exigency short of actual mutiny in
which the commander of ship of war
would be justified in striking an erring
man on the head with his sword and
knocking him to the deck. Beyond
doubt, occasions arise in the naval ser
vice when it becomes necessary to en-.
force discipline with an iron hand.
But there is probably no precedent for
the action of an officer, who, in the
name of discipline, strikes a defenseless
man with his sword. If the regulations
of the navy permit such treatment the
general sense of the American people
will demand their speedy amendment.

A One sided Meeting.

The meeting OF the Hudson Demo-
cratic Society last evening proved in
conclusive. Only twenty-nine mem
bers were present out of q membership
which considerably exceeds a hundred,
and it may safely be said that the ma
jority of those present were very far
from representing the sentiment of
the Society.
1t is the misfortune of movements
such as that which the Society has en-
barked in that the selfish obstruction
lists are always on hand while the re-
formers rely on each other to make
the fight while they stay at home
themselves and take their ease.
1t Is all very well for the members
to deal with the situation in this
apathetic way. They may let things
drift and drift. 1t is an easy way of
solving a difficulty. But sometimes
the solution is not just what the idlers
looked for. In the present conjunc-
ture the drifting process presages a
crushing Democratic defeat and pos
sibly the disruption of the Society.

McDonald the Man.

Last nights Democratic Congress
sional primaries were eminently har-
moniopssand the result is creditable
to the party. The delegates chosen
are much above the ordinary level.
So far as we can detect, not one of the
old disreputable gang OF heelers has
has been chosen, and while naturally,
many of the names are unknown to
the general public, there yet remain a
large number of delegates whose
standing in respect of honor and
capability is known to the whole
community.
Inspection Of the list satisfies us
that Senator Edward F. Mcdonald
has a safe majority of the representa-
tlon: We are convinced that he will
be nominated tomorrow with practi-
cal u~nanimity. Mr.. McAdoo is not
without spokesman. He has a stray
delegate, here and there, in the Jer-
City end of the county, and he will
probably display some strength in
Hoboken. But there is no indication
that his following can do anything
to affect the result.
1t seems tofls that since the candi-
dacy Of Edward f. Mcdonald was
formally announced, nobody else has
had any standing III the contest.
There is q great popular demand for
his nomination, growing not only out
of his personal popularity but even
more out Of the partisan crime Of
which he was the victim last spring.
His nomination tomorrow and the
tremendous popular vote he will poll
will be the peoples comment on the
conduct of Gardner and the slavish
tools who did his bidding in the last
Senate.

HUDSON COUNTY FRAUD CASES.

From the State. Gazette.
Thu people Of New Jersey have won
dered why the other election fraud cases
in Hudson county nave not been moved
for trial. 1t was given out in the early
summer, when the four men tried were
convicted, that the Prosecutor would
press the trial of the other indicted par
ties as soon as the court resumed BUSH
ness in the fall. The court has been In
session and at work for several weeks,
but nothing has been done in these cases.
Not q move has been made, not a sign
given.
Judge Lippincott voices at least the
public uneasiness and Impotence in his
letter prodding Mr.. Winfield to a prompt
performance of his obvious duty. If he
is wise he will heed the warming of this
upright Judge. The cause of justice only
asks TO be subserved in the energetic
prosecution of these cases. There is no
more political capital to be made out OF
them. Nothing can be more damaging
than the facts already clearly and incon-
testibly established in the Senate inyesti.
CATION last winter, and in the subsequent
trial and conviction of four guilty cleo
ton officers. The trial of the other sixty
odd indicted rascals car add nothing to
this terrible story of fraud. The people
of New Jersey are familiar with the
shameful details-of the tissue ballots,
lockers" and strangers" stuffed by the
thousands into the ballot-boxes; of dead
men registered from g~raveyards, and
myths from vacant lots and boats at sen;
of wholesale repeating; Of gross mis-
counting and Justification of the returns,
and all the infamous story.
The trial of the indicted men can add
no shade of new infamy to this black
record Of Democratic crimes. But the
cause of justice may suffer by delay.
Justice loses half its wholesome terrors
by laggard hardness in netting out pun
ishment. The laws delays make the
hearts of honest men sick, since its pro
crastinations, technicalities and twistings
afford the slippery numerous loopholes
of escape. The respectable Democratic
leaders of the State and of Hudson county
should compel Prosecutor Winfield to
move and press these cases. They can
not afford to remain silent and inactive.
The public very well understands that
they can compel Mr.. Winfield to act if
they feel SO disposed. If he fails to act,
and preserves a stolid inactivity, the pub
lie will conclude that he has these leaders
behind him.

full than it did last night ON the occasion
of the seventh annual ball of Jersey City
Lodge No. 119. Brotherhood of Railroad

season., and the decorations were on a
grand scale. The improvements made in
the hall during the past summer, In the
raising of the roof and a new balcony for
the orchestra, were much appreciated.
The large balcony was completely hid
den from view by flags. streamers and
bunting. From the three chandeliers
large streamers Of white bunting Gov
cred with silver stars, reached to all parts
of the hall.

occasional visitor. He had the good
fortune about a month ago to be
made the victim of a brutal attack by
Representative Cannon, Of Illinois.
Bya kind of reflex action this has
added considerably to his popularity
and has increased the desire of some
people to see him back in Congress
''just as a rebuke to the blackguard-
ism of his assailant, " as they put it.
But, in his own district, Mr.. Nc
Adoo has few friends. 1t is indeed
rare to see any man the focus of so
many hatreds. There are not more
than two or three Democrats of any
prominence in Hudson who have a
single word to say in his favor. He
bears a character among local public
men for insincerity and ~selfishness
which is absolutely unique. He has sys-
tematically-we had almost said DELHI
erately-estranged himself from his
party, not from the Ring leaders or
the Ring section, but from the party
at large, holding aloof from its coun-
ellis, and taking no part in its strug-
giles. He has so cut himself adrift
that now when he wants to tie him
self to the party again, the repulsion
is too great. He would not have it
before; now it will not have him and
there is no room for wonder.
1t is not the Ring that rejects Nc
Adoo. 1t is the whole party, and it
is by no means the Ring which NOM
mates MI. Mcdonald, though Mr..
McAdoo insinuates it is. The Ring
hates e. f. Mcdonald. He has
fought it for years. But it is
coerced by public opinion into
accepting him now. He is
the peoples nominee, and the Ring
has laid hold of him at last in the
hope that his great popularity may
drag the Ring tail of the ticket to the
head of the polls.
Mr.. McAdoo is not O little unfortu-
in this interview. His historic
illusions r not happy. They will
not bear investigation. The less he
of some of his previous nominal
lions the better for him.

Mr.. McAdoo is interviewed in the
World this morning at some length,
and we regret to say his remarks are
not wholly ingenious. 1t is natural
that he should try to let himself down
easy; but it is absurd for him to
represent himself as a victim of the
Ring, and it is unfair for him to at
tempt to place his successful com
petitor in a invidious position.
