men are apt to get excited, and when in
such condition say things that sound harsh,
and which, in calmer moments, is truly
ridiculous.
The best policy is to discuss the political
battle quietly, and abstain from using
abusive language, because it is not only
useless, but sometimes makes foes out of
friends. So our advice is to keep cool and
talk rational.

COULDN'T BLUFF MR.. BROWN.

There is prisoner at Police Headquarters
who tried yesterday to constitute himself
lawyer, creditor, constable and merchant all
at the same time. 1t is Charles H. Biller of
No Summit avenue, Newark, formerly a
bookkeeper with J. Gibson Brown of Grand
street. The firm owed small bill of S37.05
to T. Walsh & Sons. For some reason Biller
was discharged from Browns service, but
yesterday walked into the Office and said
that he represented Walsh, and came to col
lect the bill, but Mr. Brown would not pay.
Biller somehow got blank affidavit form
and turned it into summons, and signed it
"a. Blauvelt, Justice of the Peace" and
countersigned -. Connell, Constable"
Armed with this he again marched into
Browns office The latter complained to
Police Headquarters, and Detective MctJin-
MS nabbed Mr. Blller, in company with Pat
Maloney of No. l24 York street. He was
locked up for examination. ~

1t is interesting to note that the salary
of the late Lord Chief Justice Cole
ridge was $4,000 a year, while that of
the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States is $10,500. The diff
ference between the salaries of these two
officials is no greater, however, than that
between other high officials in England and
this country The Lord Chancellor
receives $4,000 year while in
Office and pension for life Of $4,000
The Lords of Appeal get $4,000. and all
the other judges So, 900. The income Of the
British Attorney General is at least 100000
a year, against a salary of $1,000 for
the Attorney General of the United

of oul. Secretary of State, while all the
English Secretaries or State get S25, 5,o00
