MISUNDERSTANDING

Those Red Men of Bayonne are queer moral
lists. Because man marries two weeks after
his first wfe's death in order that his motherless
babe might be cared for. he Is expelled from
membership in the organization. Perhaps the
widowed man might have waited longer. Per-
haps ne could have fourd nurse for the child
But whether he did these things or not was his
own concern. He violated moral or civil
law He apparently did act at variance with
that beautiful and traditional reverence which
all good men and women show to the memory
Of the dead, but that is not a good reason for
the action Of the Red Men. That association Is
a benevolent one. and 1t is likely that ne can
compel his reinstatement He should push the
case as warning to people who are inclined to
NEEDLE with their neighbours affairs.
There need be no worry as to how the county
courts Of the State will be reformed. There are
and wooden Judges now on the bench without
running counter TO the Constitution The diff
Guilty is not SO much with the accomplishment Of
that as the selection of new Judges who will
have not only ability and character, but likewise
an abiding sef-respect and exalted opinion Of
their office 1t is unseemly and improper that
judicial officers should be active In politics.
An examination Of that case near Phillipsburg
may result in the discovery of those discarded
principles Of the New-Jersey Democracy which
disappeared ten or dozen years ago. known
as home rule and Jefersonian simplicity.
In their zeal TO promote the cause Of temper
ance some of its champions occasionally outrun
discretion. Such seems to have been the case
with Mrs. John Ames. Of New Brunswick That
worthy lady is reported as saying on Wednes-
day night at meeting Of the Women's Tenn
perance Union:
The doctors are TO bame for more than hall
say IL again ] think the doctors have made more
arunKaras tnan any other class OF men; They
ike 1t.
IT is doubtful II Mrs. Ames appreciated the i'm
port Of her remarks at the time that they were
made At any rate. 1t be safely affirmed
that If she spoke with full and accurate knowl
edge Of New-Brunswick, the conditions there do
not agree with those found elsewhere in New
Jersey. 1t is rule almost without exception that
physicians prescribe liquor with great reluctance
and only under what they believe to be the
stress OF necessity.
Poor Judge McGrathl For two years his friends
have been noticing a gradual disorganzation Of
his nervous system. He was bright, generous
~ and loyal. His friends in Jersey City should see
that he is cared for and saved from further Of
those pitiable exhibitions.
society has been formed in Newark for the
purpose of inaugurating propaganda against
treating to cigars. drinks, etc OF course. this
applies only between man and man. Any serious
movement to disrupt the treating relations be-
tween the two sexes must necessarily come from
the New Woman and she does not seem
quite ready for that yet.
