MPHHRSON'S HOT Shot
His Speech In the Senate
One of the Best of
the Session.

When THE JERSEY CITY NEWS went to
press last evening Senator Mcpherson
was speaking III the Senate in favor of
repeal. His commendation of President
Cleveland was given In GU Washington
dispatches last evening. Continuing. he
said:-
IF the Injection of a flood of silver into
our circulation was the primary cause Of
the pauic. It is not easy to discover how
the President could recommend, us
seems TO be expected he would, a greater
flood of silver (or free silver as a remedy
for the existing evil.
After the repeal of tie Sherman law
the reformation of the laws relating to
coinage Will become a duty d~evoivIug
upon Congress, and Is not at present u
subject for executive action or intsrfec-
ence. Promptly repeal the Sherman
law. Then let Congress pause and re-
feet.
THE LIGHT TO THE PARTY.
"And when this Democratic Congress
Ia ready 10 resume consideration Of Il
subject so vast, an important and SO far
reaching In its effects as to the determi-
nation of the future financial aud moue-
tary policy OF Il great government and
people, we shall fluid the Democratic
platform q lamp to our feet "a

asesslon full Of distress and biFGsr dis
appointment. Aud when we reflect tn e
not 3 single aye or nay vote will be
changed as q ssult OF this long debate,
we need hardly feel surprised that what
at first was u popular discoutent should
in tue end become public condemnation.
I'VE hear much of Senatorial eourtesy.
Senatorial courtesy can not long exist
except It be reciprocal. Every Senator
here Is put upon his honor not to unduiy
obstruct The business Of the Senate; aud
where bopor controls the action no rule
Is needed. To-Day the Senate of the
United States is pat upon its trial. We
have just celebrated from the steps of
the Capitol our centennial celebration.

Returning again to this chamber,

JUDGE ABBsTrs CHARGE.
Urges an Investigation of the Princeton
Hazing Case.
Special to the jersey City Ne,os.

Special to the jersey City Ns,us.
TRENTON. October IL, 1898 In an
interview with Dean Murray last night,
Public Prosecutor Stockton received
assurance that the faculty would do
nothing to shield the hazers from the
arms Of the law. Dean Murray says that
while the college will not pursue the
matter from a legal standpoint, that he
hopes that the civil authorities will inter
fere, and that the matter will be pushed
to the extremity of the law, in order that
it may stand as an example.
Judge Albeit yesterday charged the
Grand Jury to investigate the Princeton
hazing affair, saying that an offender
against the law. be he gentleman or
tramp, should meet with equal severity.
In an interview with Public Prosecutor
Bayard Stockton last night, he said that
the affair will be investigated by the
Grand Jury entirely independent OF any
assistance from the faculty and without
availing themselves of any information
already received by the faculty. If the
Grand Jury find from the testimony before
them sufficient evidence for Indictment
the men will be brought back for trial.
The matter is growing more serious
every day. The Judge charged the jury
that the affair should be Investigated in
order TO act as a lesson, otherwise the
courts would be trying. some gentleman's
son for murder before long" Witnesses
will probably be summoned in the case
before many days and the college will
watch with the greatest interest what the
outcome will be.
The most severe sentence that can be
imposed on the offenders will be two
years, but unless the evidence turns out
to be much worse than anticipated the
decision will not in all probability be SO
severe. The action is not brought by any
person interested in the affair, but by the
officers of the State in pursuance of their
duty.
The c~ollegians are much excited over
the news. as no hazing episode since 1885
has attracted snch attention. AT that
time also the civil authorities interviewed
and the men were subjected to a heavy
fine.

WHO RECEIVED THE PIGEONS.

To the Editor of the Jersey City Ne1s.
In your Issue of tonight I see a boy was
caught stealing pigeons in Van Worst
street. There is a we'll organized gang OF
these loafers going around locating the
birds in the day time. aud then stealing
them at night, i. G., early part of the
evening between six and ten o'clock.
One month past they stole four aue young
Homers from my loft. and last week they
stole six more, making ten In all. It is
not the boys they ought to punish SO
much as the rascal who. ia receiving
them. The boys probably do not know
the value Of the birds, and only receive a
small consideration for their work, aud
the receiver makes all the profit. II the
police could get TO know where they dis
pose Of che birds, ] think there are a few
fanciers In Jersey City besides myself
who could pick out birds belonging
them.

To the Editor of the Jersey CITY Netcs:
The New York Sun, in its issue Of the
18th of the present month, says editorially;
The workingmen knew last fall. when
they were voting for tariff reform, that it
would reduce their wages. but the loss of
wages would be made up in the cheaper
clothes. house rent, etc., which they
would get under a constitutional tariff
/ fail to see what the tariff has to do with
the rent OF rooms. Will tariff reform be
the means of making the owners of houses
more lenient with their tenants than they
have hitherto been? LIDO not believe the
SUMS assertion in this instance; but if it
is true, the sooner we get tariff reform
the better it will be for the poor people of
the cities ~hereabouUs. a'@ I7h WORKMAN.

The Race Track Issue in the Coming
Campaign.


Campaign.
On Monday, an interview was pub
lished in a newspaper in which Allan
L. McDermott very clearly showed
that republicans were just as much
responsible as democrats for horse
racing and betting under protection
of law in this State. This was not
exactly new; every one who has
watched the history of the State
knows hat the racetraek question is
in no sense a party issue. But Mr..
McDermott's statement of the facts
was timely. 1t is always well to
sweep away the cobwebs before start
ing a campaign.
The interview has caused much
annoyance to the Republican news
papers. The facts being incontro-
vertible, the organs take refuge in
v~ituperation. The Newark Aduer-
tSsef, for instance, trots out the alb
surd campaign lie that Mr.. McDer-
mott is in some way connected with
the Gutenberg track, just as if it
made any difference in respect to the
history of Republican legislation in
the gambling interest, whether he
is or not. Mr.. McDermott, as he
always does, hit the Republican
party very hard, and the editors are
writhing inpotently under the stab.
That Is all there Is of IT.
1t must be said, however, that both
Mr.. McDermott and his critics are
talking wide of the subject that is
agitating the public mind in this
State just now. The trouble, we be-
lieve, is not as much the race track
bills as the methods by which they
were got through the Bad Legislature
the trickery, the bulldozIng, the
insults to the public, the contempt of
the right of petition and remon
STRANGE. We are aware that a large
and respectable part of the population
is opposed to any race-track privi-
leges; but for one who holds that ex-
treme view there are ten who feel out
ragged by the carnival Of indecency
conducted by Starter Flynn, bob"
Adrain and Billy Thompson as men,
bers of the Legislature, and bob"
Davis and the Essex gang as lobbyists.
Allan McDermott did not at tempt
to apologize for these scoundrels or
their doings, perhaps be C a he is
not in criminal practice. But unfor-
tunateiy it Is their conduct that the
people have in mind just now. It is
that these men, who know no party
but their purses, constituted a nomi-
nal Democratic majority last winter.
The people have a natural tendency
to hold the party responsible for their
misconduct, and to make this the
issue in the coming campaign. There
is just one way to avoid this issue:
Turn the rascals down. Every man
who disgraced the party in the Bad
Legislature from Thomas Flynn to
Hugh A Kelly should be laid on the
shelf, and candidates should be nomi-
mated in their stead, whose previous
records will be a guarantee to the
voters of clean, honorable, manly,
truly Democratic conduct.
No doubt this is Mr.. McDermott's
opinion. No doubt he thinks this
more emphaticaliy than any other
man in the State. for he is a democrat
on a high plane. 1t is time for demo-
Gratis like him to talk right out boldly
the sacred truth to the faithful.
Therein lies the redemption OF the
party.
