popuLITEs IN DISGUISE.

1t is to be regretted of the narrow
mindedness prevailing among q
certain number of editors who are
boldly denouncing President Cleve-
land in every form and manner and
abusing those Of the Democratic
party who put him in Office. These
papers, who claim to guide their
readers in Democracy's spotless path,
are nothing but sheets of Popuiite
character under disguise, and we do
hate nothing more than such little
ness and narrow-minded proceedings.
II is true the country has suffered
severely ever since Mr.. Cleveland
was elected, but no good Democrat
can lay any claim of such existence
upon the President if he did fail to
avert the recent crisis. Remember,
for years previous to the restoration
of pure and unstinted administra-
ton the country had been, unfortu
nately, in the evil hands Of the now
opposing party, and to Immediately
undo the inevitable results of "bil-
lion-dollsrs legislation would have
been wholly beyond human power.
What it took Harrison & Co., four
years to accomplish could not in a
few months be undone.
Mr.. Cleveland and his admins
tration is not deserving of the critl-
cism made by the editors of a certain
number of our contemporaries Who
have no solid grounds for such
vicious attacks. Grover Cleveland
is the pure type of grand man in
every sense of the word-honest and
fearless, staunch and courageous,
bold and aggressive of the principles
of-the party he so ably represents.
Of him no man can say evil, ard If
the country has been tried of late 1t
does not reflect on him.-Ex.

The dastardly tragedy perpetra-
ted IN tie Chamber Of Deputies of
France last week, is another forciable
warning to civilized Europe. The
outbreak OF anarchism in France for
the past few years is an example of
the determination of the outlaws,
and is threat against all civilized
countries. and unless they are oblit-
Grated, they will be the cause of the
downfall OF many countries. France
especially, should cut OF every man,
or body OF men, that have any inter-
course with such corrupt and de-
moralizing set. Sever every COM
munication they have with her social
class; force them into penal servi-
tude, where there will be no danger
of weaving net around her moral
citizens or contaminating their social
feelings towards the republic. An
archists are enemies Of society, and
glory in uaging war against its ranks
Ian equal dividend to all men is
their cry, and they are committing
the most abominable crimes to Sc
sure their end.

is making rapid Roadway on the

in itself is not very fatal, but where
the sick person has been exposed to

AN UNPAID FEED BILL.
Hoboken Dealer Held Amelia Re-
spon -ible For Bills Con-
tracted BY Fritz.

Through suit brought in the Hoboken
District Court this morning to recover
money owed on feed bill, an interesting
story was evolved. The case was brought
by feed dealer Egert, of Fourth and
Grand streets. HoboKen, against Mrs.
Amelia Bretthauer, OF No. 100 Adams
straet., The bill amounted TO $50.
The case came up before
petit jury. Tue story attached TO the
case is tEfs: Five years ago. in Germany.
Fritz Bretthauer met Amelia Bauer. He
became Infatuated with her aud pro-
posed marriage. He being an impscuni-
Gus man, the girl refused. He sailed for
America. and lived for q while IN New
York, securing employment on the
steamship docks. He accumulated a
few dollars and wrote to the girl
that he had accidentally struck
an enormous fortune and that Il she
would come tnlther co him he would per-
NIT her to share 1t with him. He prom
ised to send her sufficient money to get
to America. The girl accepted the mag
unanimous offer and he sent her passage
tickets. He met her at the Bremen docks
in Hcbokeu. When she landed BRETT
hauer advanced the Information tnat he
had no money but that he would get q
ton of IL in day or two. Amelia
possessed 500 and these Brettnauer
pocketed. In few days he collected $50
and by pooling stakes the two contrived
to establish u iellcatessen store at No. 100
Adams street. Amelia expressed b er
desire to get a glimpse at Betthauer's
glittering sheckels bnt the latter said
they were tied, up in bank. Bretthauer
and the girl lived together as man
and wife for year, although
no legal marriage mad been performed.
Exactly a year after the girl had
come to America Fritz disappeared. SUBJ
sequently it transpired that he had run
away to West Hoboksn, where he was
living with woman On Central avenue.
Amelia, who claimed Sretthauer TO ba
her husband by common law marriage,
caused FritZ's arrest through Justice
Rush OF Hobokan, charging him with
living 10 adultery with another woman.
The case was patched up amtcably.
Egert's feed bill came uD In this manner.
Willis Fritz and Amelia lived together
they ordered a quantity OF feed for the
horse. which they needed IN the dslica-
teasen business. Fritz allowed Amelia
the pleasure Of ordering the feed, aud the
bills were made out to Amelia.
When Fritz departed he left the
unpaid bills for Amelia to settle
aud told EgerE that she would do it,
Egers found things differently, however
when he endeavored to collect. She
| refuses TO pay the claim, as she said Fritz
owned the store nd had all the money.
Egert attached the goods In the deli
catessen store TO satisfy she claim. The
verdict was awarded TO the claimant.
