Hill and Abbett-PoIitieal Taking.
In the Newark EUeniag Nezos of
yesterday there appeared one of those
disgusting political Trades, which by
their palpable dishonesty impair the
influence and repute of the news
papers that print them, and
indeed of journalism in general
1t is fair to criticise man for his acts
and expressions. Positive political
DEVELOPMENTS are proper subject mat
ter Of discussion and criticism. Com
ment on them may be mistaken, it
may be erroneous to the point of in
sanity, but you can hardly assaii it
on the ground of honesty.
When, however, paper deliber-
ateiy constructs a set of imaginary
facts, when it plainly and shameIessly
misstates, misrepresents and distorts
sayings and events in order to create
Il subject for its own attack, it can
only be said of it that it is villainously
deceitfui and malicious.
This is what the Neecs does, in
variably, when Leon Albeit is the
subject Of it's criticism 1t never takes
Leon Albeit as it finds him. 1t con
structs Leon Albeit Of its own. with
all its own unIoyeIiness, and then it
proceeds to solemnly coInminate and
condemn its own creation as if il
were the real man. The
Nes0s reminds us of Quilp

firurehead with an iron poker.

The people of Newark also grin.
The Invention of the Nezrs man was
rather rusty yesterday, so the SLAM
ders that he dressed his lay figure mp
in lacked novelty. The old Hill fiction
was revived. 70 be sure, we were
told that Governor Albeit had
thrown Hill overheard because
he could not get New
Jersey Democrats TO swallow him.
We were told once again that Governor
Hills visit to Sea Girt was deep laid
plot-to capture the primary school
children of the State, we presume
and Governor Albeit was to seal the
awful pact by visiting New York's
Governor at Peekskill The proof
given us that Albeit had thrown Hill
overheard was that the latter visit was
never made.
Now, perhaps, it may interest the
Nesus to know that Governor Albeit.
with his whole staff, is to meet Gov
ernor Hill on the occasion of the re-
view of the New York troops at Van
Cortland Park on October s. The
Eescs can build whole card house of
political speculation out of this fact,
if it chooses. We will tell it an i'm
portant political secret. too. Gov
ernor Albeit has not thrown
Governor Hill overheard. How could
he, when he never picked him up !?
That Governors Albeit and Hill are
good friends is true. Probably within
limits they are political allies. That
Governor Albeit would rather see
Hill President than Cleveland may or
may not be so. We have no in
formation on the point. But
that Governor ALBEIT has in
dulged in any such long
range politics as to plan the capture
OF the State delegation in the Hill in
terest is ludicrous nonsense. 1t never
occurs to the addle- pated spectators
who utter it that the Governor has
prospects of his own which are alto
gether irreconcilable with any such
schemes as they attribute to him.
So far as we can see, the only foun-
dation down to date for the Hill
boom story, so far as this State is
concerned. is the fact that Mr.. Jim
Smith, of Newark, and one or two
other political leaders of the second
grade did some tall shouting for him
during the heat of the dog days.

Engineers is one of the most highly

ON THE RIVER.
Another Launch Added to the Fleet of
Pleasure Boats.

Another Launch Added to the Fleet of
Pleasure Boats.
The demand for pleasure boats seems
to be increasing, and there are now sew
eral handsome little crafts moored on
either side of the river in front of the city
Most of them are for private use, but the
"Nereida" owners announced some time
ago that their launch was at the disposal
of excursion parties, and the result is
that they have been quite busy fulfilling
contracts ever since.
The Nereida is the largest, swiftest and
prettiest launch on the river and was
made by two Sacramento young men,
BARLEY Mcdonald and A. w. Miller, who
personally manage her on all OCCASIONS
the former acting as Captain and pilot,
and the latter as engineer, Both are
practical engineers, and after building
the frame and hull Of their boat they de-
signed an engine to their own notion and
had the casting done under their super
vision. They made their own boiler and
furnace, and set all the machinery in
place with such q nicely that only four
feet of the craft is occupied by the motor.
One hundred and fifty pounds of steam
can be generated III less than fifteen min
utes, and in an entire days run very
small quantity of coal is consumed
The launch is 321 feet in length, 81 feet
beam and is driven by 28-fnch pro-
peller, the power being furnished by the
eight-horse power engine. She sits well
in the water and Skins along at an aver
age speed of ten miles an hour, drawing
thirty-two inches of water. Cushioned
seats are arranged in the front and rear of
the boat and twelve persons can be ac-
commodated without the least crowding.
A canopy shades the boat, and in case of
rain side curtains can be drawn, COM
pletely sheltering the passengers.
The craft is equipped with life preserv-
ers, five axes, water-buckets, etc, and
rides easily in the water. The owners
have a dinner set on board and furnish
hot coffee to excursionists when it is de-
sired.
Their terms are very reasonable, and a
trip of one hundred miles can be made in
one day. A small barge is being built for
the young men in order that they may
take more persons on an excursion than
the boat will accommodate.

Ihree instances OF Marital MiSfitS Be-
fore the Courts.
The divorce mill was running merrily
in the Courthouse yesterday. Judge Van
Fleet had two cases before him-those of
e. c. Hawkins VS.. Sophie Melchoir Haw-
kins and w. w. Rich VS.. Rosie Rich.
Judge Grant, in Department One, had
charge Of another case, that of Kittie Hy-
man VS.. Coftman Hyman.
In the latter case the plaintiff was
granted the relief prayed for on the
ground of failure to provide, and the case
OF Rich was taken under adyisement.
Plaintiff Hawkins was relieved from
the bonds which bound him to Mrs.
Hawkins, the court finding that his allie
CATION of habitual intemperance was well
founded.
Plaintiff Rich asked for a separation on
the ground of desertion. His own admis-
siOns on the witness stand showed that
he had done very little toward support
ing his wife since their marriage in 1886
and the latter claimed that she had worked
in hotel at Vacaville to help paw for
their board which Rich had failed to
make good from his earnings.

the services of Major George A. Hilton, a
noted temperance worker and orator, who
will be present throughout the session of
the convention. He is said to be power
ful temperance advocate, and is highly
praised by the press OF the cities where
he has lectured. The Binghamton (N. Y }
Republican says Of him:
major Hilton is all orator who pos
seSses the courage of his own convictions,
based upon gospel truths and in the
utterance of his convictions and Of gospel
truths his genuine earneStneSS produces
deep impression upon all who hear
him. He is unsparing in his criticisms
Of the dealers in the rum traffic and the
illustrations of the effects of intemper-
ance upon mankind, with which he en-
forces his arguments, are powerfully
drawn and are sermons in themselves.
He is a spontaneous and easy orator, and
by his eloquence sways his audience at
will. In these days of trite temperance
addresses it is genuine pleasure TO listen
to such vigorous and truthful efforts.
The citizens of Binghamton are deeply
indebted to the ladies of the Woman's s
Christian Temperance Union for their
enterprise in securing Major Hilton to
conduct these meetings here"

necessity therefor exists, owing TO the

ton.
AS regards the perpetrators of the
crime, the police have no clew nor in
formation that points toward the guilty
ones.

four hours after the occurrence, but the
