Thursday with Mr.. Thomas Eakins, head
teacher of the Pennsylvania Academy of
Fine Arts, and Lecturer on Anatomy
in the New York Academy of
Design, in relation to the bronze
tablets which are to be placed on the
sides Of the base of the Trenton

is to represent the Continental Army
Crossing the Delaware" and General
Stryker's knowledge of all the events
preceding, during aud succeeding the
Battle of Trenton Is of the greatest value
in arranging the details Of the battle

The effort will be in this relief to make
a picture of the historic crossing which
will be entirely accurate in all its details.

parallel columns some of the ante
election TRADES of the Newark E0en-
ing NeDs against Judge Werts and
its more recent editorials praising him
up to the skies as the only protection
of the people against the piratical
Democratic Legislature. 1t is quite
true, Governor Werts may be relied
upon to stop all vicious enactments,
but it must be bitter to the editor of
the NeUS to eat his own words in
their crude unsalted condition. The
flavor must be singularly like that of

PROFESSIONALLY. the proposal to
mount the Greenville police is a good
one. There are few door knobs to
try and a good deal of ground to
cover. It may be hard on Mary Jane
and Bridget by the wicket gate in the
long sumlner evening, but the loss of
the gentle dalliaLce while the rounds

than compensated by the picturesque

The mounted copper will be a thing

CERTAINLY, the Hasbrouck Insti-
tute is doing much for the elevation
of this city. 1t seems to be in the
hands of earnest, high-minded men,
who, If they are working for profit,
are determined to give the best re-
turn in quantity and quality. The
Dean lecture on Thursday night was
a rare treat to those who love good
talking and good music. 1t was a
contribution to the mental and spirit
ual progress of the city of the highest
value, and we believe that that which
c~ultivates and refines people, leads
directly to their material prosperity
in the long run. We have had much
occasion of late to observe the course
of the Hasbrouck management. and
we believe it is fair to rank it as one
of the most progressive ag encies in
Jersey City.

The Collision On the Meadows.

The Collision On the Meadows.
The accident on the Meadows seems
to afford no excuse whatever for the
conventional attack on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company. If the
rules of the company had been obeyed
by it's employees. if the first principles
of railroad operation had been re-
garded, the catastrophe would have
been utterly impossible. This APP
pears to be a clear case where some
reckless individual is to blame.
Now the duty of the Coroner, the
police, the Grand Jury, and above all
of.the railway company, is clear. The
blame should be fastened on the
guilty man or men. II a block signal
man deliberately gave the wrong sig
nal, let him be sem to prison; ii, on
the other hand, it was an engineer
who disregarded a danger signal,
punish him. If the rear brakeman
of the first train failed to flag the fol-
lowing train, let him share the pen
airy. In a word, punish with the ut
most severity the men whose reck-
lessness caused this loss of life and
this injury and suffering.
The accident demonstrates the
enormous progress that has been made
in the construction of railroad rolling
stock. Such a collision. a few years
ago, would have given a death roll of
at least twenty and perhaps of a hun
dred injured. 1t was, indeed, in it.
self, one of the severest collisions on
record. But the admirable strength
of the modern car minimiZes the effect
of such mishaps. Such cars as the
Pennsylvania Railroad uses remain
almost uninjured by shocks which
would have reduced one of the old
ones to matchwood. 1t will be no.
ticed that most of the injury to pas
sengers done by this collision was
caused by broken glass or by the
people being flung out of their seats.
All the old horrors of maugled bodies
entanged in the debris of shattered
wood and iron work are wanting.
The time is probably not far off
when every car will be v~estibuled and
then the danger from collisions will
be even less than now. Indeed, all
things considered. it is wonderful how
safe railway travel has become. Acct
dents like that of Thursday evening,
at least on the first class roads which
surround New York. have become so
infrequent as to constitute nine days
wonders when they do occur.

Robert Davis's Position and Aims.
All the papers which report the
legislative proceedings at Trenton
have dwelt for the last week on what
they call the war" between Jailer
Robert Davis and County Clerk Dennis
Mclaughlin. and they comment with
Indignation, that is not to be won
dered at. upon Davis's airs of propri-
etorship as lie struts about the Cap
itol.
Davis, it is true, has been intrigue
ing for the past year against his old
time benefactor. The ingratitude
and selfshness which are the leading
traits of his nature, and which he SO
signally displayed IN his treatment of
Leon AbbetU, are again at work in
this latest effort of his baleful &C.
tivity.
Davis tired of playing second fiddle
to Mr.. Mclaughlin. He was not con-
tent even to be regarded as an equal
power with him in the leadership of
the party. Immediately after the
election of Colonel Wanser, he began
to lay his wires to turn down
Denny" He has been hard at work to
accomplish this ever since. 1t is
needless to say he has not succeeded,
but his alliance with Mr.. James
Smith, Jr., and the part he played in
the defeat of Governor Albeit have
swelled his head with the idea that he
is just on the point of owning the whole
State. He has not quite got there
yet, but he expects to before the pres
emit Legislature adjourns.
Perhaps the respectable element of
the Democratic party may think 1t
well to administer to Mr.. Robert
Davis, migrate, traitor, intriguer and
would-be boss, a deserved lesson
before he is very much older.
SOMEONE has asserted, within the
last day or two, that THE JERSEY
CRY NEWS is the only Democratic
paper in the State opposed to legis-
lating Mayor Wanser out of office.

Records of Canaanite Appeals for Help
Against the Invading Israelites.
The contents of that wonderful
treasury of antique records discovered
in 1887 by peasant woman near the
ruins of the ancient Arsinoe in upper
Egypt have now been laid before the
public in Maj. Conder's work on the
Tel Amarna tablets, comprising a
translation of the text, with introduce
ton and notes. Inscribed on clay tab
ts,rsubsequently baked into brick, and
written in Aramaic, the ancient Ian
guage of Syria, in cuneiform char
acters, we have here, says the London
Tablet, nothing less than series of dis
patches sent to the Egyptian foreign
Office about 1880 b. c. from the pro-
tected of tributary kings of Canaan
imploring assistance against various
invasions- The most interesting are
the letters from the king of Jeru-
salem and other chiefs of south
ern Palestine, for in them we
ated by the advance of Joshua and the
Hebrews, called "Abiri," and people
of the Desert" A very striking pas
sage occurs in one of the dispatches of
the fugitive monarch, apparently after
the battle of Ajalon, in which, seeking
as it were, to apologize for his defeat,
he speaks of the enemy as "sorcerers, +"
doubtless in allusion to the miracles of
Joshua. The date of the exodus is also
shifted back to that assumed by earlier
Biblical opponents, while the contrary
theory of DR.. Brugsch, too hastily ac-
copied as conclusively established, is

STUDENTS IN GERMANY.
The Scholar There Holds Higher Place
Than He Does In America.

IMAM He Does In America.
SIN a Germans life at German uni
versity," says writer in the Boston
Commonwealth, 81 incline to think
university work is a more important
factor than in the life of student
here with us; that is to say, if he does
any work at all. He gives it more
prominent position in his social life
than is the custom with us; he chooses
his friends often from among his CO.
workers in way that is rare with us;
he discourses on his studies in leisure
moments as few Americans would do
at home; good deal of his social life
may be based upon his interest in this
or that branch of science. This seems
strange to us; but it is to great ex-
tent to German in German UNIVERSE
ty, and it is apt to be doubly so to an
American. For the American cannot
avail himself of the various kinds of
diversion that attract the attention of
the German, and often he would not
desire to do so if he could, through
lack of interest or lack of time. He
has come to Germany for limited
time and he wishes to make the most
of 1t. But it is not merely that it is
practically'conven for an American
to keep his work constantly before his
eyes.
There is another cause which goes
to account in a measure for the schol-
arly atmosphere. l think it will be al
lowed by all who have studied in Ger
many or lived there for a time that
university work holds there far more
important place, in more ways than
one, than it does with us. With
student In America, in his undergrad
uate days at least, college work is
pretty well jostled and even put to the
wall by athletics, society or hundred
other things. So it is in Germany with
a certain class of students. But with
the majority the university takes the
place of the professional school with
us, and here, even with us, work is
generally given the first place. With
the German student university work
need not fear athletics as a rival, nor
indeed much of anything except the
corps or other student society, and
with these corporations it is perfectly
understood that each is to take it's
turn. For two or three years the corps
has full swing; then the university.
1T is hardly worth while to go fur
ther in the matter to point out the COM
parative positions which scholarship
holds in German civilization and in
American. / am, on the whole, of
opinion that in Germany the scholar is
regarded with greater respect in every
way than with us, and it seems to me
very natural that this should be so for
very many reasons. Recognizing it as
fact, one can very easily see how
shop should be a far more constant
factor in social intercourse In Ger
many than here at home, and especial
ly with an American. He himself re-
CARDS his own work - and, by cour-
tesy, that of his fellows-as a most i'm
portant thing. In the society to which
he finds admittance he sees that it is
also most important, or at least highly
honorable. A man is thus put into an
attitude with respect to his work that
is of great value to him"

THE SLEEPING SALOON.

John Bulls Curious Version of an Ameri-
can Idea.
Between the British conception of a
saloon and that in vogue on this side
of the Atlantic there is this in common
that both are entered by side door
after nightfall. There the resemb-
lance ceases. John Bulls saloon is
an exhibit in the Transportation build
ing, wherein it is full as difficult to
look upon the wine when it is red as it
ought to be in Evanston or Bangor
John Bulls saloon is as dry as his
comic papers. He tables it sleeping
saloon" to distinguish it from all-night
places where we never sleep. 1t oc-
cupies a position in the rear of the

The British sleeping saloon is our
great-grandmothers Pullman car. It
is the great American sleeper" as it
would have been had it been invented
before the war. Entering by it the
British passenger finds himself in di-
minutive closet where he is permitted
to smoke his pipe. Two rigid-backed
chairs would elbow each other for
standing room if they had any elbows
The man in charge says: ellis is what
man as to put up with in Tchicago,'
as he opens the door. Six berths are
slowed away on either side of the
smoking saloon. The berth saloons
are divided into compartment saloons,
four compartments comprising the en-
tire carriage. Two of the compart-
ments contain four berths devoid of
any evidences of curtains in front.
Tbs remaining couple are of semi-se-
elusive character, containing two
berths each, and being intended foP
roommates or elderly married couples
The car is probably half the length of
the ordinary Pullman, and is destitute

in these days were called funkies when
was on change, some forty or fifty
years ago. A hunky we regarded as a
man who, deceived by appearances,
went into the market without any
knowledge of it and generally lost all
he had.
Eve have had bulls and bears ever
since can remember, but the familiar
terms bull-backers and bear-traps I

They were the moneyed men, the big
spectators who combined with each
other for the purpose of cornering the
market; men such as Keene and Gould.
Drew, Commodore Vanderbilt and
Jacob Little. In those days the brok-
ers used to play lovingly among
themselves for the purpose of keep
ing up appearances. When they had
no customers ON whom to practice
they would make large transactions,
which, by mutual understanding, were
not to be fulfilled, and when the game
was out the securities were thrown
back on the market. These transac-
tions, often published in the CONNER
cial newspaper, went forth to the
world as the evidences ofvalue and the
condition of the money market to de-
ceive the unwary. The present man
agement of the stock market renders
such transactions impossible. Besides,
the papers of to-day would refuse to
publish them"
