He 10 Sitting This Week in the Hunter

Judge ALBEIT is sitting this week 10
the Hunterdon Circuit. He is giving the
Hanterdon county people an idea of the
mettle that is In him, and the taxpayers
are rather pleased at his prompt aud
speedy way OF disposing OF business be :
fore the court. The Hunterdon Demo.
crGt. in speaking on the subject.
says:-"The Judge rules that when a
fact is clearly proven IL is utter folly to
put twenty additional witnesses upou
the stand to c~orroborate the fact.
And moreover. he cannot be bulldozad
by any member of the bar. The humblest
same rights and is accorded the same
seQueDtial barrister receives. The bar Is
courteously treated but every evidence Of
Partially aud favoritism is missin :. And
The jurors. too, have to toe the mark. 1t
has often happened that the Jurors came
to Fieminnton with the IDEA OF making
the occasion of jury service a rollicking
picuic. They seldom appeared IN the
court room, many of them, and in draw
ing a juror we have seen the sheriff call
probably W dozen name before twelve
would answer present. Judge Albeit
has given notics that jurors are under
pay OF the county, and that their place
Is in the court room during business
hours. Last week Three jurors who
failed to respond to roll call were fined
S25 each.

The members of the so-called Rob-
ert Davis Association were q fine look
ing body OF men as they marched
through the streets this morning.
They were well dressed, prosperous
ami intelligent, to judge from APP
p~earances, 1t was at once q sad and
an inexpllcable sight to see so many
otherwise respectable citizens mar
shalled under the banner of a dis
reputable r~apscallion. like the jok er
ballot, policy backing ex-boss.
The worst of it all was to see a man
like john A. McGrath, a judge now
actually occupying a seat on the
bench, and also filling the highly
responsible and honorable office OF
legal adviser to the County, trudging
through the mud TO the music OF
4-11-H.
The time has come in this city and
county when personal dignity and the
fitness oftllings should be regarded by
men of position and repute. A better
lone should be assumed by our public
men. Above all, people possessed
of common honesty must learn that
they cannot parade as the followers
of a professional criminal without
insulting the sense of decency of the

Rad silver Senators.

The conduct OF the silver Senators
has passed the limits of u public
scandal. 1t is a public crime. They
have entered into a deliberate con
spiracy to defeat the will of seven
eighths of the people of the country,
irrespective of political party. They
have resolved to set sectional pro- fit
above the prosperity of the entire
country.
The men who lead in this evil plot
are Senators Henry NJ. Teller and
Edward o. Walcott of Colorado; Sem
ator Dubois of Idaho, and Senators
William M. Stewart and John p.
Jones OF Nevada. They design to
prostitute parliamentary usage to the
~fnrtherance of their design. They
have no scruple. no conscience. The
country must bow to their will.
Of course, these men cannot succeed
in the long run. 1t may take many
days or weeks, but the will of the
p ople will prevail. Meantime, the
citizens will store up condemnation
of these men and of all who give them
aid or countenance. The hour of re-
tribution will come. The penalty
will be proportional to the offence.

| Coal Goes Up Again,

Ha. =. $50.
The coal combine is dead, but coal
goes us up all the same 1t is to be
advanced in price % cents a ton on
October /. and there is much reason
to fear that another raise of the same
amount will follow very soon. This
is q practical lesson in politics to the
people who exclaimed against the
Reading lease. At the time, we point
ed out that the consolidation OF the
three great coal roads made little
difference to the consumer, that prices
could be rocketsd just as well by
mutual agreement as by a consoli-
dated management. Wethen thought
the union offered Che best chance of
cheap coal by reducing the expenses
of the railway companies. We also
thought legislation might soma way
or other reach the consolidated road.
The present indications ara that We
were right, The disassociated COM
panies have heavier expenses to earn,
and the consumers must pay them.
I ghey want nothing from this State
! consequently will submit to nc

of Mr. Cortland Parker in the cases of
the Erie Railway engineers arraigned
before Justice O'Donneli on a charge
of RAINING their trains through the
city at a speed dangerous to human
life. Amid a great cloud of p~latitudes.
the following essential propositions
are advanced
A large Interstate in the transpor-
tation of passengers and goods as common
carriers thereof has baen for more than twenty
years past and still is carrisd on. the value of
sucn goods and the emoluments from the trans
portation thereof being many millions Of dollars
yer annum.
That upon said trains of cars propelled by said
engines. and upon such OF them as were pro.
PEELED and driven by this defendant the mails of
tHe United States have been and are daily cou-
veyed.
That such speed as that at which this defend
ant prope led said locomotive was required by
the exieencies of and the regulations
of the United States for carrying mails to be
rapid and even as great as forty miles per hour,
and that a speed of sixteen miles per hour was
and is not a reasonable or sufficiently rapid
speed IN order TO meet said exigencies-
In other words, 1.-The public be
damned
Let us just translate into a few
words Of plain English, Mr.. Parker's
legal verbiage: The exigencies of the
Erie Railways IN require it to
run faster than sixteen miles an hour,
first, because it amounts to millions.
and, second, because the United
States mails are carried. Therefore
it does not matter whether the speed
is dangerous to human life or not;
the company must not be iinpeded by
any process of law.
Mr.. Parker, it is needless to say. is
slightly in error. All the Erie's mil
lions are of no account in the eye of
the law in comparison with one
human life. The expediting of the
mails is indeed important; but no one
has ever before dared to place it
ahend Of the public safety. An ocean
steamer will wait a day at sea to pick
up the crew of a fishing boat. Be-
sides, the carriers of the mail are
everywhere subject to local laws,
ordinances and regulations. The
driver of a mail wagon may be ar
rested by any policeman for reckless
driving, and why should not the
driver of a train be subject to the
same control.
Mr. Parker may have had the best
of the case on a tupp emmy technical.
ity, yesterday, but he will find pre-
sently that, in Jersey City, people
have at least the right to live, the
interests of the Erie Railroad to the
contrary notwithstanding. II the
company wants to run fast trains
through the city. let it elevate its
tracks like the Pennsylvania or build
bridges as the New York Central has
done from Forty-fifth to Fiftieth
street, New York.
