JUDGE HUDsPBTH's ERROR.
He Mistakes a Judicial Visitor for a
EPaOUaY

He Mistakes a Judicial Visitor Tor a
Beggar.
For some time past an aged resident OF
Greenville has been a sort of pensioner on
the bounty of Judge Hudspeth. The old
man called several times a week at the
Hudspeth residence and received q good
meal and some small change This has been
the cause of some embarrassment to the
judge.
On Saturday evening, while the judge and
his family were at dinner, the door bell
n The waitress informed the judge that
an old man desired to see him. Thinking it
was his pensioner, Judge H~udspeth told the
girl to send the man to the back door.
Going again to the reception room the
girl once more returned and said the
man declined to go and insisted on seeing
the Judge. Once more was she sent to in
form him that il he would go to the kitchen
he would get something to eat.
In a few moments the girl returned to the
dining room. She was somewhat excited,
and said that the man was excited also. One
of the ladies of the household then suggested
that a cup Of coffee and some change be sent
to the visitor. The idea was approved of by
the Judge, and fishing ten cents from his
pocket be sent the girl with the money and a
cup Of coffee to the man.
sounds of a heated arg ument were waited
into the dining room, followed by a scream
from the girl. Rushing from the dining
room Judge Hudspeth Was thunderstruck to
see, not his pensioner, but q prominent jus
tice of the peace. The justice, whose name
is withheld, was in a highly indignant frame
of mind.
II came here on business" he blurted out,
ssand / am taken for a beggar. 1t is an
outrage"
for his error, and after q while succeeded
in calming the ruffied feelings Of his visitor.

The Philadelphia Enquirer is not
ashamed to renew that cheap excuse for
Senator Hoffman's vote for the Race
Track bills, which was so thoroughly ex-
ploded by Mr.. R. v. Lindabury in his
speech at Woods Hall, this city. The
Enquirer says ~ .sas4.
An explanation of Hoffman's action
was given in the Inquirer soon after
tanned from one Of the prominent Re
publicars who advised Senator Hoffman
to vote for the bill in order to save his
80 : 80 .oi1a4 =
Senator Hoffman at first refused abso-
race track bill and consented to vote for
1t en1y after much pressure, n when
he was shown that his presence in the
Senate of 1895 might give the Repub-
leans control.
What a basely venal wretch this makes
of the Senator from Atlantic. He sold
his soul and conscience to give his party
a majority in the Senate.
If he was for sale then, nay he not
do the same thing at any time? What
protection have the people against his
entering into a corrupt bargain at any
time that his party can make a point by
trading in his vote?
Surely the honest God-fearing citizens
of Atlantic do not want to be misrepre-
scented by this highly saleable article of
political dry-goods.
THE "Sun" yesterday showed what the
Morris Plains Asylum has become under
that ssnon-partisan" management which
John w. Griggs praises so ecstatically
in his speeches. The institution which
for years was a household word for good
management appears to have fallen into
the charge of careless and brutal Repub-
1ican heelers, who neglect and abuse the
patients.
This is a new outbreak of a old dis
ease. Before Governor Albeit, in his
second term, rescued the Asylum from its
Republican management, it was con-
stantly a hotbcd of scandal, and legisla-
tive committees were continually probing
it and finding abuses
1t is not unlike Blocksley A1mshouse
under Republican Ring management in

The seandaious CITY Hall.

Why?

Another surprise party for the people
of Jersey City is furnished by THE
News today in the revelation that about
half of the City Hall as it strikes the
naked eye is an impudent fake. In all
the revelations by commissioners, inspec-
tors, builders, experts and grand jurors,
the grand truth has never before been
brought out that the roof of the build
ing is about at the second story, and
the stately height" of the walls is as
empty a sham as the architect" him
self, who drew the plans.
The great problem of the hour is: Why
do not the Grand Jurors indict the whole
crowd? Are Sheriff Toffey's Republican
selectmen waiting until after election to
act?
The Pottery Barons Seeking Peac
As a stimulus to their high tariff pro-
c~livities we presume, the Trenton pottery
barons have locked out their workmen.
The movement applies particularly to
the sanitary pressers and includes every
pottery in Mercer county except one.
In a report of the matter in it's news
columns. the Estate Gazette" publishes
the following explanation. which reads
like a selection from the Bah Bal
lads":-
On Saturday the manufacturers held a
meeting and decided that the best thing
to do would be to come to an under
standing with the men at once. With
this purpose in view they declared a
lockout in all the shops, which they
say will be maintained until the men
agree to work under the conditions pro-
posed by the manufacturers.
This is one of the most remarkable
peace movements we have ever heard of.
1t is such a vindication of the protec-
ZIONIST spirit, showing what a deep and
affectionate regard the high tariff CAPT
talist has for the dear working man.
1t reminds us of that old song which
winds up Perhaps you were right to
dissemble your love, but why did you
kick me down stairs?"
Alas, poor Griggsy!
