CITY is declared Of THE strikers in
Belgium that by their present acts
they are proving themselves unworthy
of that franchise the denial of which
has so aroused them. Perhaps they
are hotheaded and a trihe indiscreet.
But history shows that popular liberty
has seldom been obtained without
something Of a popular tumult. 1t
mas been much bigger and more riotou5
stirs than this one in Belgium whilh
have finally led to universal sufT.oge
in America.

THE POOL ROOMS MUST GET OUT.


Harrison's, N. ~ Chief of Police Ordered
to Close Them Up.
HARRISON, N. j., April 18.-Never be,
fore has Harrison been so much aroused
over the pool room question as at present,
and about 1000 persons, all the room
would hold, were in the council chamber
of the city hall when Lawyer William j..
Davis called to order the mass meeting
which had been called by Father O'Conner,
of the Church of the Holy Cross, to pro-
test against the existance of pool rooms in
the town.
1t was a representative gathering of
Harrison and kearuy citizens, and more
than three quarters of them were men
whose hair was tinged with gray and who
by close attention to the proceedings gave
evidence Of their sincerity. One woman
was present.
The meeting unanimously adopted strong
" worded resolutions denounciQg the pool
rooms and requesting the members Of the
common council Of the town Of Harrison
to instruct the chief Of police to- close them
at once and for all time, and to ask the
Hudson county officials to aid the chief Of
police by all means in their power.
A committee consisting OF all the clergy
men in the city was appointed, who at
tended the special meeting of the common
council last night and presented the resoIu-
lions. The resolutions We're received by
the council, after which an order was is
sued to the chief Of police demanding that
he proceed at once to close all pool rooms
in the city and to see to it hereafter that
they are kept closed.
1t is generally believed here that life viii
be made a burden for anyone who should,
after to-day, attempt to open a pool room
within the borders Of Harrison, as public
Indignation is so thoroughly aroused that
the nuisance will no longer be tolerated.

THEY have fewer bank failures in
Europe than in America, but when
they do occur over there they are Of
the biggest kind. As an illustration,
the failure Of the English, Scottish and

ToRNADoEs, cyclones, forest fires,
prairie fires, doJds and a few lesser in

spriug a lively season in various parts

will continue to live and multiply in
the very regions laid disolate, and they
will continue to conquer the conspir-

add incalculably to the national

1T is reported from ocean steamship
headquarters in New York that the
number of the applications for state
room accommodations thus far has been
small almost beyond precedent. This
telling off is attributed first, to the
Eact that many who would otherwise
have crossed the ocean will remain on
this side in order to attend the Worlds
Eair. A second reason assigned is
that the cholera having made its APP
1earance in Europe, the fsarof euc1uu-
terlng &c and the dread Of possible
quarantine aunoygnaas have had their
Legitimate influences. Well, if fewer
people go TO Europe, less American
gold win leave the country, aud the
money that would have been spent
foreign lands win be expended
.lers. So far so Good.

IRWIN S. MERRILL WAS NOT DEAD.
He Returns to His Old Homo After an Abb
sence OF Thirty-Four Years.

He Returns to His old Home After an Abb
sence OF Thirty-Four Years.
New BRUNSWICK, N. j., April 1S.-Irvin
S. Merrill, a former resident here. whom
everybody had given up for dead, has Just
arrived in the city, after an absence Of
thirty -four years. He served in the civil
war, and the men who survived brought
news to his relatives here that he had per
ished at Vicksburg.
His sister, Mrs. W~orthley, of No. 1855
EastOn avenue, commended that he was still
alive, and that she would see him before
she died. She and her sister, Mrs. Camp
bell, went TO Washington and searched the
records. They learned that a few months
previously a man named Irwin S.. Merrill
had applied for a pension. The address
was secured and a correspondence followed,
which resulted in the establishing Of the
relationship.
Mr.. Merrill says that after leaving New
Brunswick in 1859 he settled in Chicago.
He wrote to his sisters but never received a
reply. The sisters never received his let
tiers, nor did ne receive theirs. Mr.. Mer-
rill is now located in Kansas City.
