The Philadelphia papers are worried
They are afraid that Japan may pres
emily threaten us with economic ruin
by offering consumers in this country
packages of fifty cigarettes. nicely
boxed and labeled at the rate of one CEN
a box.
There certainly would be a National
danger in such an offer. With such a
stimulus to the cigarette vice, we nigh
easily degenerate in a generation or TWO
into a nation of monkeys like the Japan
sse themselves. But the danger to oar
industries or our revenue is hardly
worth worrying about.
TIE question is not a practical one
It is not unlike the famous question
about the globe of gold fish which KING
Charles II. solved. Before worrying
about it. the Philadelphia editors would
do well to inquire whether there was
any reality in the importation talked OIL
we imagine there is not. and we are
c<rtafn that. with a stimulated demand
for Japanese cigarettes. the price woul'
very soon GO up to American figures OF
vs,.v near them. 1t might be suggested

mcat would very soon be- obliged te

Ri COURT DIVIDED.



gree Over AN ArHon Case.
The questionable manner in which the
police obtain evidence against the poor
wretches who fall into their clutches
was aired in the Court of Special SEES
sions Wednesday morning. Patrick McGin-
mis- was placed ontrial for arson. 1t was
shown by the evidence presented by the
State that on the night of November
a quilt and a hammock were discovered
on fire in a room in the rear OF lne
saloon kept by Albert Holman at NO.
269 Railroad avenue, McGinnls nag been
around the place all day. He had been
drinking for q week. Early that morn
ing McGinnis went into the barroom ana

swore to these circumstances.
Captain Farrier went on the SIanu anu

cient evidence to warrant aim IN caus,
policeman after the man and When ne
reached the station house he asked MN
why he set that room on fire. his
that he didn't know. Then the Captain
asked him why he warned the people Oh
the house that the fire would take place
Captain ordered him locked up as a
prisoner.
Mr.. Furey asked the Captain II ne
gave McGinnis the warning required by
law, that he need not answer any qles-
lions which might incriminate him and
the Captain replied, mo, he wasn't a
prisoner then"
McGinnis denied the charges and said
that he did not make the replies which
Farrier says he did. What he did say
to Farrier when he was arrested was
that he did not know what the Captain
was talking about.
Judges Hudspeth and Kenny could not
agree. Judge Hoffman, the third mem
Der of the Court, was upon the bench
during part of the trial, and the Assist
ant Prosecutor, who tried the Ease for
the State, asked that he be called in
to decide the matter. Judge Hudspeth
said Hoffman did not hear the evidence
and McGinniS was remanded for trial
again next Thursday.
Previous to the trial Mr.. Fhurey at
tempted to have McGinnis' application
to be tried in the Special Sessions set
aside on the ground hat when he made
it he was without the advice Of counsel,
a right guaranteed him by the constitu-
ton. Mr.. Furey also contended that at
the time the application was made the
Court was not properly constituted and
that the trial by Special Sessions was
denying McGinnis his constitutional
right of trial by jury. The motion was
denied.

Oat
The meeting of the Jersey City Board
of Aldermen have grown to be painful
spectacles to all who respect the good
name of the municipality. The Board
seems to be impotent for n good and
shamefully fertile in all sorts of petty
abuse. The only positive thing 1T has
been known to do in months is steal $500
from the to make a gift TO
the Chairman of the Republican State
Committee. ana various smaller sums
to distribute among party heelers hk
Jack Graham and the relatives and
hanger on of exigent Republican bosses.
The meeting of last Tuesday night was
a peculiarly disgraceful one. The previous
offence of theft was ratified by a ma
jority of the Board. ard lying was add
ed in the adoption of hat report drafted
by E. w. woolley. which proves that
more money than ever was spent on TINS
years election. while it ilnpudently
claims that less was.
It was a rare exhibition Of stupid vul-
garity and absence of all honest public
spirit from beginning to end. including
the effort of Alderman Simpson to stop
the flying Of the American flag, and the
senseless and M~ulneaning onslaughts on
the corporations by a body which has no
more means of limiting their action than
it has of controlling the procession OF
the equinoxes.
