OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
New York, Feb. 3, 80.

New York. Feb. 3, 80.
The celebration 0f the centenni
al of the United States Court
which will take place in this cit,
on Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week, promises to be Il big event,
especially for the legal fraternity
of tic country. The guests who
will be present include President
Harrison, Vice-Prcsident Morton,
and part Of the Cabinet, Chief
Justice Fullcr, and al Of the As
Sociatc Justices of the L. S. Su
preme Court, Gov. Hill, and Il
long list of the most distinguished
jndgcs and lawyers in the country.
1t will be. presided over by ex-
President Cleveland.
The great inconvenience to peo-
pie who wish to reach the Jersey
City ferries, which is caused by
the crowds Of vehicles on West
street. is soon to be remedied in
part by the building of two bridg-
es across the street. One is to be
bull at Cortlandt street for the
Pennsylvania Railroad ferry, and
the other at Liberty street for the
Jersey Central ferry. The present
methods Of crossing at these points
are extremely dangerous, besides
very inconycnient. A policeman
is always stationed at each Of these
places whose duty it is to guide
people safely across. Were II not
for this the long professions of
trucks would often keep redcstri-
ans waiting for hours at Il time.
The two bridges, which have been
authorized by The Board of Street
are to be Of iron, 16 fl.
above the street, and TO be used
exclusively for foot passengers.
if these are successful, we may
perhaps see something similar o.
Broadway.
New York is to have another
magnificent public building, which
will be mainly for the accommoda
tlon Of the criminal courts. Ii
viii occupy the ground just north
Of where the Tonbs now is. and |
will cover IL whole block. 1t vii. |
be built entirely Of brick, granite
and tron, stories high and be as
near fire proof as DOS ibic. A
bridge will connect it with the
Tombs, SO that prisoners may he
AIKEN back and forth without tha
lse Of the Black Maria, which, b,
he way, is not black al all, but
white. Besides being used for the
'riminal courts, the new building
yill contain the Offices of District
attorney, the Board of Health,
md the Street Cleaning Depart
nent. These are now scattered
II various parts of the city, and it

And now that we ase about 10 enter
into politics, let us exercise one hundred
times the caution and care that we have
heretofore, remembering that IL Is Inn
possible 10 carry on the machinery Of 80
large an order to suit the notions and
Whlms Of each member. But IL each one
will willingly compromise his personal
prejudices and notions TO the majority
and earnestly assist in whatever they
may think best TO carry on the work,
then victory Is ours. But II we waver
from our course and wrangle amongst
ourselves il makes dOubly hard the task
we have undertaken, IL we succeed in
accomplishing II at all. For surely the
professional politicians have even men
in our order now lAbOring to drift us
back into the old channels Of pRrtyism,
thereby setting us one against another
and thus make us defeat ourselves. For
they know that their only hope is in get
ting us divided. Then II we be wise as
they we must know that our only hope
10 the strength Of our unity. SO let us
be equally true TO our cause as they are
10 theirs, then what might otherwise
prove our weakness and defeat will have
a tendency TO purify and strengthen our
order FrAternally A SUBSCRIBER.

will only be a question OF time until the
Legislation which they have seen enacted
under their very eyes Ia favor OF cor.
porations and capitalists, will result In
reducing the masses Of the people TO
condition OF dependency and consequent
servllity, like their own,
II ls not alone the decay OF patriotism
which is going on in Washington that IL
10 be deplOred. The false standards Of
life which are paraded before the people
are in every way demoralizlng, The
government clerk who gets $1,000 Of
$1,000 per year sees men whom no knows
10 have gotten their wealth by selling
out 10 mOnOpollsts, spending as much In
week or q month as he gets by his leglti,
mate work in a whole year. The chill
dren OF these clerks see about them
everywhere tho lavish displays Of wealth
and the girls are educated by the social
environment 10 think that silks and dia-
monds, parties, operas, equipages and
elegant establishments are the things 10
marry for. The boys, long before com
Ing 10 manhood, learn that good, hard,
honest labor can never earn the luXuriea
which they see 80 temptlngIy spread out
about them, and 80 they must sharpen
their wits and scheme how 10 get the
upper hand Of some vulgar herd whom
thep can compel to earn money for them
And thus 1t Is that the excessive wealth
and luxurious display OF the few dlstilI a
poison whose virus Circulates among the
poorer classes. II question which i'
doing more TO sap the foundation Of prin
clples Of good character In America than
the extreme poverty Of the poor or the
extreme display and luxury Of the
wealthy.
Thank God the people are opening
their eyes TO see whittier this great MA
tlOn ls drifting.
Intelligence and the ballot box are the
only remedies. When the peoples rep
reSentatlves find a place in Legislative
halls, among other reforms, they will
give us cumulative taxation which will
etYectually prevent the enormous dis
parity between rich and poor.

WASHINGTON.



living In the ciiy Of Washington. Nearly
all OF these have families dependent
upon them. Generally speaking these
government clerks are subject 10 a con-
tihhal strain oi apprehension concerning
the permanence OF their positions Perl
Odically, every four years, this apprehen-
sion reaches fever heat The dependent
condition Of this vast number Of persons
upon the shifting, uncertain methods Of
politics, Is not least among tho demOral-
lzing tendencies OF life at our national
capital. II Is at once both pathetic and
humiliatlng 10 observe the growth Of SER
Witty, the iawning and sycophancy which
are the result Of fear lest some turn Of
the political wheel shall take away the
employment which earns the food and
clothing and shelter for wife and little
ones. The whole matter OF farming out
the government work has been given over
10 the political machines 10 be used
simply and solely to promote party sue
cess. .u
II anything could be Comlcal which,
iraught with such serlons consequences
~ this decay Of the republican indepen-
dence, II was the state Of feeling and be-
hayiOr Of this army Of clerks whom, for
the first time in many years, the admin
lstratiOn changed from republican TO
democratic OF course there Is more or
less Of turmoil and unrest during all the
time Of a presidential term, but 20 the
inhabitants Of Washington II has come TO
seem almost an lmpossibllity that any
other than a republican should occupy
the White house, When at last II was
settled that the great change had been
made II was indeed season OF dismay In
the lower circles Of government life. The
truth then came TO light that there were
no serious convictions concerning poll
tics among tho government clerks. Life
long republicans were not even clear a.
10 tho total depravity Of democrats, and
Il might even be that talnt Of dem
OcraCy infected themselves That par
ticular period betrayed very clearly to
the student Of formative tendencies that
the utter lack Of devotion 10 principle
and the total wreck OF patriotism mani
Tested by the manlpulators Of national
politics had found its way to oil the lower
portions Of the vast machine, And, in
deed, how could It be expected that II
should be otherwise, when these subOrdl-
Mates saw the shameless betrayal by
members Of the House and Senate OF
every interest Of their constituents; when
they saw the lobbies Of corporations and
those who beseiged Congress FOR special
jobs and schemes obtaining all that they
sought. II Is not to be wondered at that
the lesser lights, those lower down, soon
come 10 believe that the government
machine was made TO bo plundered, and
that 10 was lawful TO use any means TO
get chance TO assist in plundering.
The government clerks Of Washington
who have been long in service could, II
they chose, reveal state Of shameless
corruption in high official circles that
would rouse the sleeping patriotism Of
this nation aud forever condemn the
traitOrOus managers who map out the
political programme for the people to
carry out But they will say Of what
avail would II be for me TO tell Of things

WAR ON BEER BOTTLERs.
Jersey Women Attack Them With Brooms
and Scalding Water.


BRIDGEToN, n. j., June 6.-War has
been declared against the beer bottlers, who
have their establishments just outside of the
city limits, by tine women In the Second
ward of Bridgeton. About a dozen have
organized themselves into q band of cru
saders and threaten to use brooms and scald-
ing water on the first man who brings any
beer to their respective houses.
They claim since the city has had no IL
cense, that the beer brought into their
houses has made their husbands worse than
when licensed places were in vogue, and
they have sworn vengeance upon the men
who deliver beer to their houses. One un-
suspecting bother met with warm recep-
tion when he went to deliver some Of his
goods to a Grove street residence. Two
heavy weights OF the family seeing him ap-
proach started for him with brooms Not
wishing to have. any trouble he dropped mis-
case OF beer and as with wings flew to his
wagon and was of in the twinkling of an
eye.
The Somen say there is no fooling to be
done about the matter, and they mean Just
what they say. They have given all beer
men notice il they insist on delivering their
orders they will do so at the risk of the
broom brigade. There are likely to be some
rich developments, as the beer deliverers
say they are not to be eowed down by lot
OF women, and that the beer will be deliy-
cred whenever ordered by husbands.

Brink of the Fall.

A Womnn's Outer Clothing Found on the
Brink of the Fall.
NIAGARA FALLS, June 6.-Shortly be-
fore o'clock this morning John Fagen, of
Buffalo, discovered woman's cloak, hat,
shawl and handkerchief lying on the
river bank in the Prospect Park,
about 500 feet above the brink
of the American fall, and turned them
over to Superintendent Welch At about 10
o'clock they were identified as belonging to
Mrs. John Beagan, who resides at Is Pros
pect street, this city, who is missing, and
who has undoubtedly committed suicide by
going over the American Falls. She was
about 40 years old, and strongly addicted to
the use OF intoxicants. Her husband is a shoe
maker. He says that as he was lea wing
home last evening his wife bade him "Good-
by" As this was unusual he queried her
as to her reasons for so doing, and she told
him he would not see her again. Neverthe-
less, Beagan went uptown, and when he re-
turned home at $50 o'clock he found his
wife there. He spent the night on
couch, and when he got up this
morning his wife was missing. A few
hours later he identified the garments found
as belonging to her. A bottle was found in
her room half full of laudanum. This leads
to the suspicion that she took portion of
the drug before she leaped into the river, as
their home is only about two blocks from
where her clothes were found. She has
made other attempts on her life.

AN INDIAN ROW THREATENED.
A New Agent Driven or and Troops Are
Held In Readiness.


MILWAUKEE,, June 6.-Great excitement
prevails in end about the Keshena Indian
reservation owing to the attitude of the
Indians there. They have driven of
Indian Agent Kelsey, who telegraphed
to Washington that trouble was impending
He received a telegram from the Secretary
OF War saying that troops would be sent at
once If it was considered necessary, after all
conciliatory measures had failed. The res
ervation is occupied by 1,5O0 Menominee
and Oneida Indians, who are well armed
with rifles.
The trouble originated over the removal
OF Agent Jennings, who was appointed by
President Cleveland. Jennings turned over
his office TO his successor on May 81, after
great efforts had been made by fraction Of
the Indians to have him retained. When
1t was ound that he had really surrendered
his office they were very much incensed and
began TO make threats, which eliminated
In display OF force before the new
agent and the Government suspected their
Intentions. On the receipt of the news yes
terday of the passage of Senator Awyer's
bill for the sale of their land the trouble
broke out afresh. So serious was the aspect
of affairs that Agent Kelsey hastily left the
reservation for fear of serious trouble. The
last reports from the reservation were TO the
effect that the situation was very critical
