MADMAN IN TIE SUGAR HOUSE

August Knapp of No. 70 Essex street made
his way into the Sugar House, last night.
He created much excitement among the
workmen by rushing dangerously near
machinery. He also made threats that he
would kill the first man who interfered with
him. 1t was realized that he was demented
and his arrest followed. When locked up
at Headquarters he made several efforts to
escape through a window in tie corridor.
When placed in a cell he raved like a mad
man. Justice O'Donnell committed him to
await an examination by the County Physi-

THE JUNCTION POST OFFICE
Postmaster Jordan Makes A Very
Unpopular Appointment.

Superintendent Frederick Ramsey of Sta
ton B Post Office at the Junction received
notice from Postmaster Jordan yesterday
that his term as Superintendent would ex-
pire on Saturday, and that his successor,
Miles McCarron, would be ready to receive
the stamps and other government property
at the station on that evening. Mr.. Ramsey
was surprise l at the notice and never sus-
pected that be would be turned out of office.
Mr.. Ramsey is a democrat n for this rea-
son it was thought that he would be allowed
to roman Superintendent Of the station. He
took control Of the Office a little over a year
ago when John Kaiser resigned it to open
the American House. Mr. Ramsey pur-
chased the store where the Office is located,
and ex-Postmaster Dickinson deemed 1t adj
visable not to transfer the office to another
locality. Mr.. Ramsey only a few weeks ago
built, at his own expense, a large stamp
counter and receiving boxesf for mail matter.
He also had at the Office a clerk who was
engaged for the sole purpose of transacting
the business of the station. II Office was
open every day, including Sundays, from
eight o'clock in the morning until ten O'Clock
in the evening, and as 1t was in a most de-
sirable locality the public had no fault to
find.
McCarron's appointment, it is alleged, is
the work of Bob Davis. 1t is an extremely
unpopular one, and the residents and business
men in the vicinity Of the Junction are not
at all satisfied with it. McCarron is very
unpopular among the members of his own
party. and Postmaster Jordan is being CEN
sured for appointing him. One ~well-known
democrat in speaking about the matter to a
reporter of THE JERSEY Cry NEWS last
evening, said:-"McCarron could not be
elected to the position Of pound keeper, even
if he were nominated in the strongest Demo-
cratic district in the city. His appointment

that Postmaster Jordan is making mistakes
thus early"
McCarron has rented the store at No. TAI
Grand street, formerly occupied by real
estate agent B.. F. Horth. He will fit it up
for the branch post Office The location is
not as desirable as the old station, and no
doubt there win be many protests from the
business men in the vicinity.

A plEFIcuLT PoslTloN.

10 is difficult, OF course, for men who
are guided by honorable and patriotic
motives 10 assume as aggressive an attl-
tude in public or Ia private affairs as the
man who Is not guided by any motives
which he can mention in public. No
law-abding man. who values his reputa-
tion and yields to the good influences
which govern civilized society, can accept
the risks at which burglar laughs.
In political affairs the reoalcitrsnt
always counts for more than he is
worth He is TO some degree, a burglar
and an outlaw. He is not amenable to
the claims Of loyalty and duty which
other men acknowledge.
Although, when actually in the British
army, Benedict Arnold was almost power
less his treachery. while II impended till
the worst was known, aud until he was
defed, almost paralyzsd the Continental
forces.
It is always the case that the man OF
whom we expect better things land who
disappoints us, produces more sorrow or
more apprehension, as the case may be,
than the man who always does his duty
honestly and unselfshly.
These remarks will enable the wise
man to understand the difficulty Of
passing tariff bill or Of accomplishing
any other beneficial legislation in the
Senate The few men who do not hold
themselves amenable to those rules Of
conduct which are imperative obligations
upon a man who feels the responsibilities
Of his trust, can invent pretexts to delay
action. They can assume an attitude
which makes them more formidable than
an open enemy.
The loyalsts have suspicion only, no
actual proof Of treaohery; they cannot
assume the responsibility of drumming
the suspected recreants out Of camp on
suspicion, yet they are parslyzed with
fear lest the cause, which thsy hold
dearer than their lives may suffer by
their failure to whip the enemy or expose
the traitors They cannot attack the
enemy with divided forces they cannot
expose a traitor without proof.
There are many Senators who are as
loyal TO the Democratic party and as
conscientious tariff reformers as ever
breatbed prayer or uttered pro-
test against this public robbery OF
the insolent aud heartless protection
lists But what can they do2
We think that they should have as
sumed more aggressive attitude, but
we are not In the predicament; we have
no responsibility. They have; they know
the situation; they are as earnest, as
fsithful, as courageous as were the Cont
mental heroes who defend our borders
aud our liberties, but they could not
praceed against the invader, the ruthless
destroyer of our freedom till Benedict
Arnold was exposed He was powerful
inside OUT lines he was powerless wher
| exposed as an Open foe.

THE families Of the eleven Italian
vlctins OF the New Orleans riots have
failed to recover damages from the city
The statute under which the suit was
brought limits the liability OF the city
for damage done by mobs TO property
damage TO person or loss Of life Is not
specified. The protection Of life and
property Is committed TO the several
states. The United States cannot guar
antee a foreigner any more protection
than the state in which he suffers gives.
This leads the New York Even

states are at present the only civi-
lized communities in the world which
can deny protection to the life and prop
erty Of foreigners with perfect impunity,
for the United States protects them from
chastisement. This, Of course, pre-.

worthy man engaged in any worthy en-
terprise will suffer. II Is no great hard
ship that those Italians were killed and
that their relatives are deprived Of their
services They were professional out

worthless; their relatives are better of
without them

OF their preference for this better csun

mayor refused the request and there is
