the famous coal strike, and thereby
killing an innocent boy who was
merely a spectator.
Here, then, is a case which has re-
manned on the calendar for six years,
and in five out of the six, at any IA tie,
neither party has made the slightest
attempt to bring it to trial. 1t is safe
to say no such effort will ever
be made. 1t would now be impossible
to get any evidence which would
make a fair trial of the ase possible.
This is self evident. The judge on
the bench knows it. The lawyers on
both sides know it. What is the use
of the farce of keeping it alive. Can
it be said to be using the courts in
good faith? Is it not an abuse of their
functions?
Let us have a law that will compel
litigants to proceed within a rea-
sonable time or else have the Court
strike their cases from the record and
enter up all costs against the parties
responsible for the delay.

DIR. SCUDDER HEARD FROM
THE TABERNACLE,
JERSEY CITY, Sept. IS, 1898.

To the Editor ct The JerseY Cits NeUs.
From your editorial of last evening 1t is
evident that you labor under n slight
misunderstanding touching my remark
on early closing last Sabbath.
The reason | singled u Mr.. Chas S.
FursG from among the many Storekeepers
who favor early closing was because he
made the very definite statement that
upon the 1sG of January, 1894, he would
close his store at z p. M. and would never
open lt again after that hour either in
summer or winter. This he will do,
whether the present agitation TO close at
= T. M. becomes successful or not Il
whether any other firm Is willing to take
the same stand with himself. He has
signed an agreement with q multitude of
other firms to close at 8 2. M, IN condi-
tion that other store keepers will do the
same. AS yetSome important firms have
failed to sigu That agreement, and the
whole movement may be null aud void,
il a large minority of store Keepers are
unwilling to close at 6 2. NJ. In signing
this agreement he has doue no better
than u great Del Of store Keepers, all
OF whom deserve equal praise; but he has
taken a manly and independent stand in
stating in black and White that he will
close at z p. M. whatever may come of
this 6 O'Clock movement, and for this, In
my judgment, he is worthy of special
COMMUNICATION. The hour he has set is
not as early as many might desire, but iG
is an dyanc upon the present syste nj:
il Is irrevocable and is not dependent
upon the contingent co-oDerarion OF other
firms.
With regard to the firm Of Brown &

President CleveIand's Letter.

The letter of President Cleveland
IN the silver question by its own
terms renders all comment or even
endorsement trite. There is a tone
about il of devotion to best interests
of the country, which irresistibly at
tracts the affectionate regard of the
reader. 1t is impossible not to cherish
the warmest regard for the writer on
account OF his single-minded patriot
ism, his paternal solicitude for the
welfare of every citizen OF the coun-
try. More than any other of his pub
lie u%tterances, It seems to us, this
letter to Governor Northen reveals
something of the warm heart of the
man himself. 1t seems to show that
the firm rectitude OF Grover Cleve-
land is not so much a matter of cold
intellectually as of philanthropic
temperament. He is in1exibly devoted
to rigid principles of right, because
he feels that they are the true founda-
ton of good to his fellowmen.

Robbery Rampant in Hoboken.

FAOUDtTt ENdEipdHI III 1GUbOhcUs
To prove that Mayor Pagan has not
been a success as a reformer, the Ho-
boken Eoening NeWs has been pub
fishing q sort of diary of crims in n
sister city. 1t shows that from Au-
gust 9 to September %, twenty-five
robberies have been committed, for
which no arrests have been made.
We are sorry the Pope's blessing,
recently conferred, has not had a bet
ter effect on our neighbors. They
seem to be pretty badly victimized
by the enterprising burglar and
the energetic footpad. The NeWS'
record represents one serious robbery
to every two days. As these are only
the ones for which no arrests have
been made. we presume the full rec
ord would stand at about a crime a
day.
But it is somewhat absurd to blame
this state of things on Mayor Pagan.
He is not altogether responsible
Whatever the NeWs may say, he has
done much to improve the efficiency
of the Hoboken police. But he has a
bad system and force long Injured to
inactivity to deal with. If he keeps
up as he has begun, he may doubtless
spur the Hoboken police to make war
on the footpads, steamboat sharks
and housebreakers who come from
New York to prey on the people, just
as he did on the green-goods men and
policy shops. He will have his hands
full, but if he takes it up energetic
ally, he will succeed.
