"STATENENTS.u

II would be superfuous for us to say that the
best in American literature is found in the news
papers-we made the remark on former occasion,
and its truth was recognized by the public even
before that u is true that the magazines con-
tinue to live and apparently to prosper, but this
may be accounted for easily. All tastes must be
gratifed. Besides, the magazines are put forth
in convenient form and are handy 10 read on
the cars. Their illustrations, too, usually eX-
ccllcnt, often ranking above newspaper pictures,
though they generally far behind in the matter
of time Many newspapers receive their best illus.
tratons by telegraph, and the artist of of our
abest contemporaries has already made all of the
pictures for the whole month of June and gone
of on his vacation. There are other good features
in the magaZincs-we may mention the amateur
camera and souvenir spoon adyeriiscments-but
tie fact remains that the literature of the Western
World survives in the newspapers alone A high
authority. none other than the professor of Eng
fish literature in Columbia College, has just said
that there is not in any contemporary writing such
| unsurpai5abe skill in giving effective and ar
tisic form TO sentences, nor written English so
strong and effective. or even SO correct and, in
the true sense, classical in point of STYLE" as he
finds day after day in the work of that highly
trained body of men who write the editorials Of
our great newspapers" We agree with Professor
Price. He says more, but, unfortunately, modesty
compells us to draw a reluctant veil.
But Notwithstanding all of this there are
blemishes detected sometimes even in newspaper
literature. The Tribune recently did not hesitate
to step aside and point out the fault of an eX-
cessve use Of certain word in many of its con-
temporaries; and we embrace the present oppor-
tunity to repeat the performance in the case OF
another word We refer TO the verb 10 state, }"
and also to the noun which is apt to accompany
it, statement Time was when a man was re-
ported as speaking certain words he told his
story: what he had to say he said That time is
past; he now states what he has to say; he puts
forth statement. We read of a Philadelphia bank
president who made u statement in Jail THAT
was all they did get out Of him we
may say in passing Of a man who had been
dubbed by q policeman who made a statement
while being whisked away in patrol wagon Of
a lady who stated that she was not going to be
married; of a small boy who made n statement

Indians OF politician who stated that he was

One thing is certain concerning the change
in the administration OF the Brooklyn Bridge /:
il can scarcely be change for the worse VI
course it is no satisfaction to THE TRIBUNE
to see Tammany lawyer made Bridge presi-
dent 1t means that Tammany intends to pave
a larger share in the "spoils" than heretofore
We doubt if it means more efficient manage
ment of the Bridge and it's railroad, particularly
as all tho old trustees have been reappointed'
with one exception. Ex-senator Wagstaif Is
the new member, and he is totally without OK
perience, and without special qualification for
the office OF president. There need be no mourn
ing over President Howel's unexpected retire
ment He has not lived up to his opportunities
or else the work which has been In his charge
for six years past would have been conducted
in far more satisfactory manner.

bezzlcment, who wished TO state that no hSa ho0
stated that he was preparing statement persons
who were stating such statements 10 the COZ
trary notwithstanding. We take pleasure 10 pre-
senting the following, clipped from the advance
proofs of vaued contemporary:
AS stated in these columns yesterday, the an
nual dinner OF the Little Hatchet Club was held
last night. Chauncey Depew, the prince OF AFTER
dinner staters, was present. He made funny
statement of occurrence when he was boy at
Pee<skill. II seems that he and several Oh his
chums stated it over between themselves and de-
cided to rob Deacon Smiths watermelon patch
They were busy at work selecting the BEST
melons, when the old gentleman came out and
stated at them in loud voice. They ran for the
fence, making statements over their shoulders
which reflected the Deaoon's generosity. Chaun-
cey fell into a gooseberry bush and" etc., etc.
We feel sure that the able literary men who
prepared the matter for our contemporaries will
be more judlciOus in the use Of these words now
that we have called their attention to the matter.

BE1RDING A PRINCE.

The example of the bold juryman in the
baccaIat case has been exceedingly invgOrat-
ing. Sir Edward Clarke, in summing up for
the plaintiff, aStonished the audience by an
outburst of plain-speaIing regarding the dis
hnguished royal parsonage who has been the
most conspicuous figure in these legal proceed
ingS What had been in every ones thoughts
found utterance in his pointed remark that the
Prince Of Wales had been constant in his at
tendance at court in order TO put restraint upon
the witnesses and counsel. The Solicitor
General, while an officer Of the Crown, reso-
lutely declined to be influenced by any motive
save zeal for his client. The royal presence
did not deter him from commenting with candor
and severity upon the Princes conduct and asso-
citation with the Wilson's. His reply TO Sir
Charles Russel's intimation that if the jury
were to return verdict against the defend
ant II would be necessary for the military aI-
thorities to take up the matter and strike Sir
William Gordon Cummings name from the
army list was a powerful home thrust al
wish 10 say in unmistakabe terms" he re-
marked, 90 that it would be impossible for the
authorities to do any such thing and to leave
on that list the names Of the Field Marshal the
Prince of Wales and General Owen Williams"
After that defiant declaration from one OF the
aw officers Of the Crown. the audience is de-

The European method Of preventing differences
in religious thought is somewhat different from
that recently adopted here, in which anonymous
criticism of the resolutions of assemblies has
been the principal means adopted. Russia and
Sweden have just enacted laws to prevent the
conversions from the State religions. The punish
ment of offenders under the Russian law at least,
is severe. The usual results Of such prosecutions
will undoubtedly follow. Converts will be more
numerous than ever, and the growth of the con-
demned religions will continue more rapidly than
in the past.

The testimony given yesterday before the
Health Board confirmed that heard last week
regarding criminal carelessness at the Reception
Hospital resulting in the death from scarlet
fever of child who had been exposed to the
coutagion of that disease in the hospital. 1t is
said that the Board may not reach a decision
for week or two. But the case demands i'm
mediate action. The Health Board is an auto
crat where contagious diseases are concerned
and it's Reception Hospital ought to be con-

Governor Hill has now got the Forest Com
mission right under his thumb. His charges
against it's members a few months ago were
treated with contempt by the Assembly which
he was supposed to control completely. Since
then, however, Commissioner Knevals has re-
signed, and the Governor has filled his place
with Dudley Farlin, evidently a man after Hills
own heart AT yesterdays meeting of the Com
mission Mr. Farlin acted with Commissioner
Cox N making pretty nearly clean sweep OF
the Commissions suboIdinates The places
filled and to be filled will inevitably be oocu-
pied by solid Hill men, and the Forest Com
mission will be made a sure working Hill ma
chine from top to bottom.

No progress toward the trial of DR.. Briggs
for heresy was made by the Presbytery yester-
day But an interesting letter from DR.. Briggs
written not long before his departure for Eu-
rope was read. 1t expressed his determination
to stand by his protest against the appointment
of the investigating committee, but not to adj
here to his notice Of complaint against the Pres
bytery for the action of the body in deciding
to try him without prefernng charges and
specifications DR.. Briggs's yielding of his right
on this point simply indicates his desire to put
no obstacle in the way of the trial

When the representatives of various char
liable organizations call upon the Board of
Estimate to-day to urge an appropriation for
municipal lodging-hOuSes, they will be able to
present their case with force and intelligence.
1t is expected TO make the free lodging house
system of Boston model for this city, and two
representatives of the associated charities Of
New York have lately examined it with care.
One of them went to Boston officially; the other
put on an humble garb and studied lodging

One Of the Jersey City ballot-box suffers
whose conviction was confirmed by the Supreme
Court last week and has been surrendered oy his
bondsman and has gone to Jail. The incsrcera-
ton Of his associates in the crime Of defeating
the will of the people at the polls ought 10 follow
at once, though there is the possibility of an
appeal being taken TO the highest court in the
State. But DistrictAttorney Winfield has no
occasion to wait for that for its result before
proceeding with tho trial of some half a hundred
other eleotion-officers accused OF the same Of
fence In fact it Is his plain duty to go ahead
at once and secure their conviction. The fifteen
already tried were proved guilty with little diff
Gculty. and all honest citizens hoping to see
the other cases disposed of promptly and with
the same outcome. Judge Lippincott, who tried
the previous cases, has won the lasting hatred of

Deacon" Richardson, of the Atlantic Avenue
Railroad Company, has received a decided set
back in his attempt to introduce the trolley sys-
tenn in Seventh-ave., Brooklyn, and other streets.
The property owners whose consent he had OBJ
tanned to change in motive power have altered
their minds to so large extent that he will
fall short by about 100000 of having the con-
sents of the owners of one-half the property on
the line Of the projected trolley road His plead
ings with the RAILROAD Commissioners have there
fore been in vain, because under the circum-
stances they have no power to grant the deacon
permission to give up horses and Use the trolley.
Following the precedent they recently set they
will probably advise him to go to the courts for
the appointment of a commission, whose consent
to the proposed change may be taken in lieu of
that Of the property-ownes. In the courts, how
ever, the merits of the trolley will be impartially
considered.

The short period of Democratic control in
Rhode Island has been long enough TO put the
finances in confused state and the new officials
find great difficulty In ascertaining just what
has been done with the public money. 1t is not
surprising that the people of Rhode Island would
not vote to continue the administration of last
year in power, but elected Republican I.egsla-
ture by large vote.
