toxicated and ugly. They had never met be-
fore. Halstead was not an offceholder nor
political worker
Who is Green? lie is a member OF the
Tammany General Committee, foreman in the
Street Cleaning Department, favorte WITH
Tammany leaders and an old friend of Richard
Croker. As an offset to what he has SAID
about Halsteads condition on the afternoon OF
his death others have said that Green himself
was then drunk and turbulent. If it be as
sumed that the testimony on this point up to
the present time is inconcusive, it is not dis
nuted that Hastead left the bird store first,
that he was followed by Green and attacked
from behind, and that he died Immediately
after Green had kicked him. a surgeon has
remarked that his skull was fractured, but the
result of the autopsy has not been officially an
nomced. Presumably it awaits the Coroner
inouest which was postponed until the return
Of Coroner Schultze from his vacation. He re-
turned on Monday, but action in the case has
been strangely delayed. 1t was week yes
terday since Halstead died. If the District
Attorney has paid any attention to the matter
he has done so secretly. That he has NOT
done ANYTHING worth while thus far is proved
by the fact that Green is still at liberty.
These are the essential facts so far as they
are now known. What do they mean? They
mean simply this, that Tammany Hall is de-
sirous of protecting Matthew Green and will
protcct him unless the pressure OF public opin-
ion becomes intolerable If thu people remain
onathetic a record will be fabricated to show
that he was not at fault-that he acted IN sell
defence. or that ITalstead died Of heart disease
If they refuse to forget all about the case, and
inconvenient questions continue to be asked
an Indictment and trial may be secured, pro
vided that Green does not get anxious ana
break his paltry bail bond. lie ought to be IN
iail row. He would be in Jail now except Tor
his political and personal influence. lie Is OF
the precise type in which Tammany delights

SERENE md ATTENDING To BUSINESS
Numerous Democratic spokesman are busily
engaged at present in adjuring the American
people to be patriotic. 1t is possible that their
pleading would be more generally acceptable
and effective if they did not appear so anxious
to convict their political adversaries of par
tisansbip. Nevertheless, Republicans as rule
are listening with commendable composure
They are aware that the influence of the Re-
publican party and the votes of Republicans
in Congress are relied upon to save the country
from the mischevous purposes and tendencies
of Democracy, and they are prepared to accept
the obligation soberly and fulfil II to the best
of their ability. 1t certainly is a time for
natriotism which acts as well as breaches. and
Republicans sincerely hope that they will not

On the afternoon of Tuesday, July -, at
about ) o'clock. Matthew Green entered John
Kief's bird store, at No 5O9 Frst-avc., where
James lIalstcad was examining "A canary.
Green provoked an alteration with lIalstcad
about the merits of the bird and blows fol-
lowed Then lIa>tead left the place. Green
followed him to the street, overlook him, threw
him TO the ground and kicked him on the head
Ualstcad rose to his feet, staggered and fell
down dead. Green was arrested and after
ward set free hy Coroner Mckenna on bail Of
1000 No inquest has yet been held but
after most unreasonable delay one has been
ordered for August 10.
Who was IIalstcad? He was an English
man by birth, hut had lived in this city
many years He was an expert dyer of yarns.
and had established a prosperous business in
which his two sons were associated with him.
He had high reputation for probity, for skill
in his specially for sobricty and for peaceful
ness. A citizen who had had numerous bust
ness dealings with him has expressed through
THE TRIBUNE a high estimate of lIalstead's
character and intelligence. His pastor, in Il
letter which we print this morning. speaks of
him in the highest terms The committee of
the church of which he was member has
formally adopted resolutions testfying 10 his
fidelity in every relation of life and TO the loss
which the church has sustained in his death
So far as we have been able to ascertain not
one word derogatory to his character has been
spoken by anybody excepting the man who
killed him. He says that Hastead was in

TO the press which urged the railway companies
