Peters. parkhurst and Byrnes.


The Rev. Madison G. Peters OF the
Bloomingdale Reformed Church,
New York, is, probably, a sincere
man, but he has a queer intellect. On
Sunday he preached on the Park
hurst infamy, and from the facts to
date. which he seems to realize clearly
enough, he drew the foolishest inter-
ences that human mind ever COM
passed.
He concludes that the Gardner con-
yiction does not destroy the useful
ness of Parkhurst's society. becaus
the police set a trap to catch Gardner.
He thinks that in doing this, the police
Mead guilty to DR.. Parkhurst's
charges.
Let us see.
DIR. Parkhurst formed the opinion
that the police were growing rlch by
taking brides from lewd women to
ignore their vicious traffic. To prove
he was right, he organized a conspiracy,
set a trap, conducted a course OF de-
ceit. enticed numerous women into
the commission of abominably criminal
acts, and then went into court, and
by displaying the results OF his work,
secured four or five convictions.
This, of course, was quite right and
moral, very highly praiseworthy, IN
DIR, Peters estimation.
DR.. Parkhurst was not a policeman.
Detection or suppression of crime or
vice was not his trade. He was the
president, merely, of a self agglomer-
ated body of gentlemen, who think
it their duty to reform New York in
general, and the police in particular.
But, of course, anything he did was
right.
Bit Superintendent Byrnes also
had an opinion that Parkhurst's
principal agent, Gardner, was grow
ing rich by taking brides from lewd
wonen to ignore their vicious traffic.
Presently he had positive proof of it
when women came and told him the
facts. Then he did just as Parkhurst
did. He put up a job. He got Gard
ner to do one more criminal act, and
then nailed that worthy, red handed.
This, of course, was all wrong and
immoral, and DIR. Peters is bursting
with Indignation at it.
Superintendent Byrnes' calling and
trade is to entrap and convict Grim,
inals. He is sworn to do it. 1t is his
duty, moral and professional, to do it
on every opportunity. Parkhurst's
original cry against him was for some
times not doing it thoroughly enough.
But no matter, he was plainly al
wrong in this case. As the conviction
of Gardner is awkward for Parkhurst
and his associates, it was criminally
indicate in Byrnes to bring such a
thing about.
Great is logic, and grand are the
principles of morality among those
who make other peoples morals the
concern of their lives.

THE decision of the Supreme Court
in the Brown Place controversy
is just what every reasonable man
expected. 1t fully bears out the
position laid down by The JERSEY
CITY NEWS a dozen times. The strip
is held by the city for future use as a
street. The rights of the railway, ac-
quired in good faith, are conserved.
The public authorities have no right
at present to dislodge the company
and open the street at great public
expense, and for no useful purpose.
On the other hand, the railway COM
pany can acquire no rights which
will ultimately conflict with the free
use of the strip when the development
of the district creates a public need
for it.
The decision of Judge Depue and
the Court in general is an eminently
just and practical one

THE sale of the Jersey City and
Bergen Railway seems to have a
strangely tonic effect on rapid transit
schemes. We should think the time
peculiarly unfortunate except for
sell-outs. The new protector will have
more capital and enterprise to n
tend with now than ever before, and
a more determined vested interest
than ever, We think rapid transit is
near at hand; but it will come from
Mi. Crimmins and his syndicate.
DIR. JACKsoN's sermon on Presby-
terianisin, Sunday, was positively
startling in its condemnation Of 'itin-
erancy.n The Wondering corpses OF
Wesley and Whitfield must have
writhed in their collins at the daring
departure from the set principles OF
Methodism. 1t is true the tendency
of that church has for some time been
in the direction of more r%estfulness
and conservatism, showing that it is
graduating from the heroic or mis-
sionary stage of churchdom into the
established or regnant era. Almost
all churches have passed, o or
less, through the same stages. There
il always a period when they grow
strong and rich and powerful, when
