NEW JERSEYS MUDDLE.

New Jerseys senatorial muddle is
not sight to inspire elation in the
hearts of those good, but too innocent
people who believe that the ballot box is
the ultimatum in all problems pertaining
TO the choice OF servants of the law. A
Republican senate, honestly and fairly
elected, is kept at bay by a contingent
of Democrats who claim that they were
elected 10 the seats occupied by the
Republicans. The encouragement
in lsbored and lengthy decision has
held that the Republicans are wrong
and a question that should simply in
volve the counting Of ballots is made a
subject for legal juggling by an ex.
perienced and biased prestidigitateur.
Ii remains TO be seen whether Attor.
ney General Stockton is the supreme
tribunal Of the state. Legal sleight-of-
hand never elected anybody honestly.

THE GOVERNOR DOES RIGHT,
our hand. Governor Mitchell |!

Your hand, Governor Mitchell!
Yesterdays stalwart decision that the
animal proclivities of the prize-ighting
element should not be allowed to
dictate the morals of the great
state of Florida was just, wise
and praiseworthy. Pugilists do not
yet rule the American people. Only one
state has been discovered yet where a
crazy governor is willing to permit the
fight to go on. Florida's governor has
the sympathy and cooperation of every
civilized patriot. He has said the
fight shall not take place. 1t shall
not. He has said he will call out the
troops of the state to prevent the dis
grace if necessary. He will. The gov
ernors of other states Colorado excepted)
will see that he does not want due ap-
plause and appreciation. The fight will
not go on.
The whole controversy, so far as the
advocates of pugilism are concerned, is
a lasting disgrace to the nation. 1t en-
phasizes the fact that civilization is yet
far removed from perfection. When the
troops have to be called out to enforce
common humanity there is much work
yet awaiting the toll of the reformer
But it is cheering to observe that the
preponderance of sentiment is bitterly
against pugilists and pugilism.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

The following extract is taken from
the New York Tribune:
Who is hungry? Go and see. You
that are fulfilled and know not what
1t Is to be hungry-perhaps never saw u
hungry mango and see. Go and see
thousands, men and women, boys and
girls, old and young. black and white,
of all nations, crowding and jostling
each other, almost fighting for a first
chance, acting more like hungry wolves
than human beings, in land of plenty,
waiting till the food is ready for distri-
button. Such scene may be seen every
day between II and o'clock around the
corner OF Orange and Chatham streets,
where charity gives a dinner to the
poor, and soup and bread to
carry to their miserable families.
Is this describing the scenes at present
being daily enacted in the streets, not
only of New York, but of every city in
the United States? 1t is an apt descrip-
tion Of the general condition Of affairs in
this country today and yet it appeared
in the i:sue Of The Tribune for January
10. 1865.
In the parallel columns at the head OF
THE NEWS editorial page can be found
President Buchanan's message to con-
gress two years later describing the
effect that the low tariff had upon the
interests Of the country.
And now thirty-nine years after the
pen picture Of New York's great desti-
tntion under the low tariff act, another
low tariff bill Is under discussion in the
National congress and the scenes Of '55
are being repeated in 94. On every
hand poverty, starvation and charity.
Thousands are eating the bread and
wearing the clothes Of charity in Provi-
dence today who never knew what it
was to want for dollar who always
had plenty and to spare under the pro.
tective tariff.
In '57, as in '94, using the words
Of President Buchanan: I'm the
midst Of unsurpassed plenty in all the
productions, and in all the elements of
national wealth, we find our manufac-
lures suspended, our public works re-
tarded, our private enterprises Of differ
ent kinds abandoned and thousands of
useful laborers thrown out of employ
ment and reduced to want"
History is repeating itself. The low
tariff is casting its shadow before it.
The low tariff produced the want de-
scribed in Buchanan's message and the
approaching low tariff is responsible
for the want and distress of the present
time.

II Sends Them to Charity Houses.


We have been waiting patiently for re-
ports of great meetings in favor of Prof.
Wilson's tariff bill. If he has been lifting
the burdens of the poor mans back and
making the toiler's heart sing for Joy, the
poor man and the toiler will naturally as
semble and meet together, and show their
gratitude to Prof. Wilson and demand in
speaking tones that the bill be
passed. We hear Of doubtless misguided
workingmen protesting against the pas
sage, but where are the voices that should
be raised In its favor? 1t must be Q sad
disappointment to the professor. Hemust
have expected that waiting millions
would rise up and call him blessed
for free coal, free iron, free wool, free salt,
and free lumber. They don't rise, except
to remark that they don't approve these
freedoms. Where are the choruses OF rejoic-
ing manufacturers celebrating the great
foreign trade that the professor is going to
open for them? Where are the farmers
with gaunt knees bowed by Mr.. McKin-
ley's atrocious elimination? Why are
they not seen dancing a saraband of
praise In honor of Professor Wilson, their
benefactor?
Why are they silent still and silent all,
the men and women to alleviate whose
burdens Professor Wilson has constructed
his celebrated Deficiency bill?

THE NEWS AND MOODY MEETINGS

The News need hardly call attention
to the page it is devoting daily to the
addresses of Mr.. Dwight l.. Moody.
The News is newspaper tha. deems it
a part of its public duty to faithfully
report all things of public interest, or OF
public importance. TIE so-called re-
vival meetings now in progress in Music
hall are of both interest and import.
They attract great many thousand
persons, and there are "a great many
thousand more who, unable to attend
the meetings, are anxious to have re-
ported what is said there. THE NEWS
pages of the Moody addresses are
history and record, and they are also
news. 1t is in recognition of contem-
poraneous event that is Of interest to
thousands in the territory of this news
paper that THE NEWS devotes large
part of its space to this record. That
THE News has not misunderstood the
demand for the work it is doing is
demonstrated by the fact that from
three to four thousand persons that
were not before counted among the con-
stituency of this newspaper are now
buying and reading it. During the re-
mainder of Mr.. Moody's stay THE News
will continue to report him as accurately
and faithfully as may be. that his admir-
ers and all interested in his work may
not be disappointed in their dependence
upon this newspaper to give all the
news and as completely as possible.

CLEvELANDs ADVISERS.

President Cleveland seems to have
been singularly unfortunate in his
choice Of cabinet officers. Gresham has
plunged him into the deepest disgrace
and most contemplate position by his
Hawaiian infamy; Carlisle by his inca
pacity to grapple with the financial
problems of the day is bringing the ad-
ministration into contempt and the
country to the verge OF financial ruin;
Olney. by his hanging on to
his positions in two big interstate
railroads is casting doubt upon
the determination of the adminiatra-
tion to proceed against the
gigantic trusts that are incumbering
the land and sapping it of its
vitality; Morton is denounced on every
side by the agricultural interests Of the
country as incompetent; and Hoke
Smith, Bissell and Lamont are rarely
heard from.

THE TRAINMAN.

Brooklyn's trolley cars are being equip
ped with automatic tenders Of . new de-
sign.
The cost of construction of railways in
the United States has averaged about Geo..
600 mile.
The Railroad Gazette places the mileage
constructed in 1898 at 2,5S5 miles against
1000 miles In 1902 and IL, 900 in 1887, the year
of maximum railroad construction in this
country.
The street railway regulations in London
provide against the crowding, jamming,
packing, scowling, frowning incident TO a
load of 60 where there arc sittings for only
30. A conductor was fined Sl.75 the other
day for admitting one passenger extra.
High authority says that both the Van
derbiit and Pennsylvania lines will, with
the taking effect of the spring time tables,
put on 20 hour trains between New York
and Chicago. and much faster trains be.
tween New York and st. Louis via Indian
polls.

GRESHAM NOT WANTED.

Judge Gresham is not wanted by the
people to fill the vacancy created by the
death of Judge Blatchford. There was
time when Mr.. Gresham occu-
pied judicial position (under
Republican administration and served
with tolerable credit. But the Judge
had not then been tainted by the in
sidieus virus OF Democracy-fhe con-
fidence Of the people received its
first rude shock when year
and half ago Mr.. Gresham
deliberately deserted to the Democracy
for no better reason than desire to be
on the winning side and 10 share in the
spoils of war. Mr.. Cleveland recog-
nized the attitude of Gresham and re-
warded him with one of his richest
plums.
Since his accession to the Office OF
secretary of state Mr.. Gresham has
given his friends sore reason to regret
that they ever placed any confidence in
either his judgment or his in
compatibility. His conduct in
the Hawaii affair has helped to bring
disgrace and odium upon the nation.
He has been the willing and plant tool
of President Cleveland in the def.
snce Of constitutional restrictions.
He must equally share the
guilt. He has shown himself suscep-
tible Of purchase, a ready abettor of
wrong doing to please the whims of
those who made him.

bench be less humiliating, both 10 him.

the workingman is the old war cry OF
the free traders, but the threat of a tariff
for revenue has demonstrated tho utter
imbecility of this statement. The work

employment to the protective tariff and
nothing else. Remove that tariff and
