It Was a New Thing to the Goat.

The deadly electric light wire WAS heard from
again in Jersey City Tuesday. 1t was at the cor
ner of Cook street and Newark avenue There is
an arc light there in front of grocery store. The
wires are strung on poles on the opposite side of
the street. aud two wires extend across the street
to tn light One OF these wires broke near the
lamp aud fell into the street across the car tracks
where it lay sputtering blue fire and attracting
crowd Freeholder William Nelson volunteered
to take it out of the street so that the street CAL
could pass. He got lorg pole and, after fifteen
Minutes work, he succeeded in poking the wire
oil the tracks. In the mean time messenger
had gone to the electric light company's office to
get lineman. Before lneman arrived a goat
sauntered down the street. be was of the mascu-
line gender, and OF an inqusitive turn of mind.
He had long black and white hair and large eyes.
He was on the opposite SIDE OF tho street from
the broken wire. The crowd attracted his at en-
ton and he started toward it. He WAS about
half way across the street, when he saw the blue
flame coming apparently from the pavement. He
stood still aad shifted the air a minute, and
then apparently satisfied that there was no danger,
he walked slowly toward the wire with his nose
TO the ground The crowd did not warn him
The silence was intense. Within three feet OF
the end OF the wire the goat stopped again and
shifted. The wire wasn't sputtering so much then.
The goat looked att curiously started to walk
away, and hcsitated. The crowd heaved sigh
of disapp ointment. Whether the goat heard this
and determined to see the thing through to the
end it is not pcss ible tossy, but at any rste he
turned again and walked up to the wire. Ho
looked down at the wire with both eyes and
lowered his head, smiling all the time. Finally
no opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue and
touched the wirc.
Just one shiver passed through his body from
ste III to stern, and he rolled over dead. His eyes
bulged ont and his tongue WAS burned black.
Some OF the crowd laughed. lineman arrived
soon afterward and fixed the wire.

THE NEW YORK Sun says 1t is difficult
to see how the prospects of the Ohio de-
mocracy are to be promoted by the recent
redstrcting of that State. The democracy
referred to experience no such difficulty.
They see that redisrctiDg will promote
their prospect. by giving them fifteen OF the
twenty-one Congressional districts OF that
State, just precisely as the prospects OF the
Ohio republicans were promoted by the
previous redistrictipg, which gave them
that number, and just as the prospects OF
the New York republicans are promoted by
the republican legislative redistricting OF
their State, by means Of which New York
has two republican U. S. Senators. though
a large majority of the voters of the State
are democrats.

AS STATED in the GAZETTEs Washington
correspondence yesterday, it is highly prop
ablethat the House committee on the election
of President and Vice President will report
fayorably the McComas bill. 1t is also
probable that both houses of Congress VIII
pass that bill, and President Harrison Will
approve it, as at present it seems the ony
wsv by which the democrats can be pre-
vented from availing themselves of the
privilege of majority of the voters of the
country to obtain majority of the members
OF the next U. S. House of Representatives.
The only provisions of the Constitution re-
lating to the apportionment of representa-
ton and to election regulations are contain
ed In Sections and of the 1st article of
that instrument, but certainly no ressona-
BILE man can fud in either any warrant for
the passage of such bill as that referred
to. Blu. the republican party has always
fund warrant for the accomplishment of
any object it may desire in "higher law"
than the Constitution.

by compelled the Speaker to resort to the
unconstitutional means of counting enough
members not voting in order to make the
required quorum, all business done under
rules so adopted would have been unconsti
tutionsl and therefore null and void, ana
might have been so decided by the I. ..
Supreme Court. But by MIR. Carlisle's ao-
vice and against the better advice OF other
man on his side, the democrats OF the
House voted on the question OF the adoption

republicans with the necessary quorum, and
thereby legalzad everything the House
