MARCHING ON.

The Greater New York bill passed the
Senate yesterday In the same shape In
which It passed the Assembly. The
sturdy opposition of Mr.. Reynolds to Its
passage without the equal taxation pro-
vision, while 1t secured the desired al
iteration in the Committee, did not pre-
vail in the Senate. The. Committee
amendments were stricken out. and the
bill passed by a vote of 2S yeas to 2 nays.
The negative votes were cast ~ Sena-
tors Reynolds and Mcmahon. Why the
latter should have voted against the bill
IL a puzzle to New Workers.
The determination of the Senate was
TO AFFORD the people of the Interested ter
ritory an opportunity to vote on the sim
pie proposition OF consolidation, free
from any side Issues as to the details II
consolidation really wins. That was the
only sensible view to take OF the case.
II the votes In the Senate and Assem-
bly, correctly represent public sentiment
there cannot be much doubt OF n favor

bers may have voted to give the people
an opportunity to pass on the question
who are opposed to consolidation. But
q large majority of those who supported
the bill did so because they are in favor
OF the Greater New York for which II
provides, and that, 1t II believed, will be
the verdict of the people.

WILL THIS END THE CASE ,

y James ]. Dooley, Chairman OF the
Board OF Inspectors IN an election dis
tricr of the Second Assembly District,
was the indicted inspector on trial yes
terday In the Court OF oyer n Ter
miner for violation of the election laws.
It was a serious case: one of the worst
yet brought before the court. 1t was
shown that Republican votes had been
cast. but in the they had wholly
disappeared.
This was a district in which n prize
was offered for the best showing fol
Maynard and against Bartlett. Was the
offer of the prize a temptation to the
inspectors to commit frauds? Was it, Il
fact. a bride held out to the inspectors?
1t is possible that Dooley, who wa
found guilty after n de.iberatlon by tn,
Jury lasting only ten minutes. may gei
seven years Imprisonment.
VIII that be the end of the case?

In China buying 4 machine cheaper that II can be

got money enough In his clothes to buy decent
grub As a salesman. I often sell a man In
Chicago cheaper than l do a man right here,
because l want his trade bad enough to pay for It,
and that system will exist. tariff or no tariff.
Tarif makes no price; competition does that.
But extend that competition to cheap foreign labor
and the loss will come Cd the mechanic and the
salesman. Much Of the goods I sell has but 10
per cent. profit. yet there is a so per cent.
tarin on 1t. So please don't talk that old lunacy
about the manufacturer. making the tariff. VIII
Yankee please tell me on what goods. outside
OF a patent or fancy article, there Is 100 or 200
per cent. profit: there is a lot OF capital looking
for that snap, We can't make anything there Is
any profit in but what competition steps in and
cuts It down to hard pan. Well. Yankee don't
worry. The manufacturer Is catching Il now,
but somehow or other the mechanic and myself
seem to be catching 1t too. by and by. when we

HOFFMAN ACCUSES HIS WIFE.
Says He Wns Locked Up to Force
HIS Consent to u Divorce.

The argument on an order to show
cause why the order OF arrest of Hyman
HICKMAN. who Is confined in the Ludlow
Street Jail in default of $1,000 bail,
should not be vacated, was heard by
Judge Freedman in the Superior Court
this morning.
Hochman was arrested on Feb. c, pend
inE the action for divorce ana alinony
brought by his wife, Bertha, on the stat
utory grounds. They were married in
Russia three years g They anne to
this country soon afterwards.
In his complaint, HICKMAN c!aims that
on Aug. 10, 1892, his wife's father, who is
wealthy. induced her to abandon him.
He again induced her to come back. but
exactly one year later, she again left
him. She then asked him to consent to
n divorce under the rules of the Hebrew
Church, but upon his refusal she began
proceedings, saying she would keep him
locked up until he consented.
In the mean time HICKMAN began a
suit for $4,000 damages against his faith
er-in-law for alternating his wife's affec-
tons. ,
Judge Freedman took the papers and
reserved decision.
