When the news of the successes in
Piedmont reached Paris, public festivals
were decreed and celebrated; but the
democratic spirit of the directors could
brook neither the contemptuous disre-
gard of their plan which Bonaparte had
shown, nor his arrogan assumption OF
diplomatic plenipotence. Knowing how
thoroughly their doctrine had ~permeated

MUST BRODBRICK GO?

His Own Way Of Spelling
His Office Republicans
Kicking.

The trouble in Water Registrar"
Broderick's Office is becoming more in
teresting every day. Yesterday he is
reported as having declared that either
he or Deputy Registrar Pringle woul
have to go. Mr.. Broderick accuses Mr..
Pringle of giving out the story con-
corning his alleged i~ncompetency to fill
the office, which was exclusively pub
lished in 1.-The Jersey City News" a
week ago. In all fairness to Deputy
Pringle. it must be said that he was in
no way responsible for the Information.
Mr.. Broderick's conduct of the office
he is paid 81, 800 a year to fill, has been
common ak from the day he entered
upon the duties. No one has openly
charged incompetency. but at the same
time one of the members of the Board
that has employed him has intimated to
friends that it woul not be a judicious
proceeding to intrust the office to his
personal care for longer thar a few
months at a time.
CHECKS BEAR PRINGLE'S NAME.
The checks that are received in the
office bear the signature of Deputy Prin-
gle always. This may be verified by
CHANGING over them in City Treasurer
pickinson's office. Mr.. Broderick is a
slow writer. and limitations have been
made that he has a way of his W OF
spelling the office he holds.
1t was a noticeable fact, and one that
caused him to be severely criticised,
that the day after the publication in
THE News" concerning him and ms
office, tina his son was at the Office
rendering assistance.

says as far Jack as 1871 he had men

questions
Republicans, Embarrassing Positio,


The situation in the Republican party
Is curious n interesting. The party
seems to be ivide on every issue and
afraid OF every issue. One section seems
feature of the next National platform.
but the party is afraid to take up a
definite position on the money question.
An honest endorsement of gold means
the loss of half a dozen States which
the party cannot lose and still carry
the election. An endorsement of silver
thing. Between the two alternatives,
the G, o. P. is in a bad way. The in
dications now point to a straddle. Ben
jamin Harrison's chances are looming
up on account of his supposed conserya-
tism as regards silver. His nomination
to please the gold men, with a lot of
words to catch the silver element may
be the outcome.
But then there is the tariff. The
party Is even in a worse pickle over
that. Major McK.nley's friends think it
should be made the leading issue of the
campaign with Tariff Bill at the head
of the ticket. These are the pot hunt
ers. The sober element realize that this
will not do. They see that every day
makes a tariff campaign less and less
possible. Calamity bowling is impossible
with wage and prices going up and
hand, II the tariff be dropped out of the
campaign, what is there left to fight for?
The subordination of this issue is a
virtual confession that the Democracy
has done It's duty by the people and
that the people are gamers by Demo-
cratic rule. So here, again. We may ex-
pect another straddle. We may look for
glittering ~platitudes about the protec-
ton of our home industries. corrected
by assurances that no substantial inter-
ference Will take place with the exist
ing order of things.
Whoever the candidate may be, he will
have a hard road to travel. The Presi-
Dental campaign is likely to be conduct
ed amid the rising tide of reaction
against the absurd Republican move
ment of the last two years. That party
will have had full opportunity to break
its promises and expose its rottenness
In Congress, by that time, Just as 1t
has already done In the Legislatures of
New York and New Jersey this year,
two of the most shamelessly venal and
recklessly partisan bodies that lave ever
pretended to make laws for the people.
by the time the nominations are made,
new issues will be before the people
issues manufactured by the Republicans
themselves, while the natural Law of
business will lave more and more
effaced those through which the recent
results were obtained.
Blatant Republican jubilee has had Its
day. It's next experience will be in
fitting with truth, and it is not equipped
for that encounter.
