CAN'T CONVICT CoUGHLIN.

10 Was Implicated in the CronIn
Murder.
CHICAGO, Sept. IA. 14.-Dan Coughlin,
the ex detective convicted Of eomplictry
Ia the Cronin murder OF 1889. and recent
ly granted a new trial by the Supreme
Court, may escape with no more than a
sham legal battle for the sake
OF legal technicalities. Many of the most
important witnesses are dezd or
next TO impossible TO locate. The evidence
against the other defendants cannot be
used against Coughlin. Some of this
indirect testimony had much 10 do with
weaving the web which finally landed
Coughliu in Joliet, and its absence may
assist him in escaping the legal
penalty sfor his alleged wrong doug.

Indict tho Street and Water Board.
Ii the Grand Jury, obeying Judge
Lippineott's behests will enquire into
the doings of the Street and Water
Commissioners, it will find material
for at least four or five indictments
against every member of the Board.
1t will find that supplies have been
dishonesty bought at prices above
the market rates. 1t will find that
s~inecurists have in the past and are
still now retained on the payrolls.
They will find that contracts are
awarded in so very suspicious not to
the city in litigation and delay and
hinder public improvements. What
more they may find, we do not know;
but il they work honestly and dig
deep enough, there are doubtless
many remarkable things they may
lay bare.
This Board has been repudiated by
the Democratic party. Its corruption
has been denounced in open court by
the Chairman of the Democratic Stat e
Committee and Democratic news
papers of all stripes have unsparingly
condemned it. The hand and the
vote of every decent citizen is against
it, and every day intensifies the pub
lie enmity to it.
Under its management, the streets
are ill paved and dirty; public build
ings are erected in a botched and dis
honest style; repairs on the schools
are SO fraudulentiy conducted that
they have to be renewed, year after
year, at great expense, while i1npu-
dent ~sinecurists are paid large sums
for pretending to supervise; the water
supply is at low ebb all summer, de s.
pite the fabulous sums spent at
Belleville. Jobbery and villainy rule
in the red brick den on Jersey ave-
nue..
1t is good politics for Democratic
leaders to do all they can to lay evil
dence before the Grand Jury, which
will secure the Indictment Of these
miscreants.

The Backnumber Crowning Humi.
l!ation.

The decline of the Eoening Back
Number was conclusively proven
yesterday. For the first time within
anyone's memory, ''plate" matter was
used to fill up its columns. as a meas
ure of economy.
The matter in question was the last
column on the editorial page. Any
one who glances at it will see that the
plates used did not even fit the
column. That is the reason of the
white streak between the type and
the column rule.
The BGcknumber must be hit very
hard indeed when it has to resort to
this backwoods plan to save money
and fill its pages. 1t is becoming a
pitiable object.
The reasons for the decline of the
BacknGm6er and the steady progress
of THE NEWS are obvious. THE
NEWS prints the news of the whole
world and especially of Jersey City.
The BdckBum6er fills its columns
with trash. THE NEWS is bright
and entertaining, the Backnumber
is dull and somnolent. The NEWS
is honest; the BGcknumber is corrupt
and treacherous. THE NEWS is for
the people first last and all the time,
the Bdckaum6er is for any one who
will square it.

Topeka. Kan, Aug. 5. The exodus
of Colorado miners continues through
Kansas, proving heavy burden to the
Western farmers and a source of great
annoyance 10 the railroads The tramp
trains on the several roads carry from
200 to 400 each day going east. and the
regular trains are still besicged by idle
and destitute miners who are deter
mined to get ont OF the country. The
crowds are so great In Denver that the
first class passenger trains frequently
back away from the depot and then run
through the station at full speed in
order to prevent the men from jumping
on. Trains that refuse to stop are
pelted with rocks and clubs. In some
instances tho trains an accompanied
through Kansas by guards of soldiers
to avoid any interference with regular
travel by these laborers. The Kansas
farmers are feeding them along the
route whenever they are able to do so,
and many men have accepted work on
the farms.
