LINCOLN AND THE WAR,
He Thought Tho Enemy should he
Fought on Northern Ground.

His Q.ncoln's) theory of the war was that
the enemy could be fought much more advan-
tageously on Northern soil than in the
South, as it enabled concentration of Northern
forces, and diffused Southern forces in main
tanning lines Of supply; and he had
publicly declared his theory that Lees army
was the heart of the rebellion, and that
Richmond and other important military cen
ters would be valueless while Lees army was
unbroken. It was known that Lincoln was
at first strongly inclined to censure Meade for
not fighting another battle at Wilamsport
(after Gettysburgl. I saw the President soon
after the battle and was amazed at his thor
ouSh familiarity with every highway and
mountain pass which the armies had open to
them. AS it was near my own home / knew
how accurate his information was and he
questioned minutely as to distances and
opportunities of the two armies in the race to
question whether he not satisfied with
what Meade had accomplished, he answered in
these words:-'.Now, don's misunderstood me
about General Meade. 1 am profoundly
grateful down to the bottom of my boots for
what he did at Gettysburg, but think if I
had been General Meade / would have
fought another BATTLE He was extremely
careful to avoid injustice to any of his com
manders, and after fully considering the whole
subject he excused rather than justified Meade
for not delivering battle to Lee at Williams
port Had Meade done so and succeeded he
would have been the great general of the war;
but there are few generals who would have
fought that battle with the forces of both
sides nearly equal and Lee entrenched.

.NONPLUSSED THE LAWYER
Hoboken Official Rilxed Up ln Dis
-. c..I z..a..iS =. 8, YVnrzlaIp.


Counsellor James Furey met his match
this morning in the Court Of General
Sessions while cross-examining Mrs. Jo-
sephine Wagner of Hoboken, complain
ing witness against Gottfried Heller, ac-
cused of assaulting her
The lawyer fenced with Mrs. Wagner,
who quickly retorted with threats which
exasperated Mr. Furey. He at last, when
she had laid down the principle that
woman's house is her castle and intrud-
ers have no business there, exclaimed
.'Oh, pshaw! you are going to apply
to be a woman lawyer, aren't you?
Shed make as good a lawyer as some
that l know remarked the Assistant
Prosecutor, smiling at Mr.. Furey.
'"rhe Prosecutor for instance replied
the furious Mr.. Furey.
There, there, gentlemen" cried Judge
Hudspeth, "thatll do, go on with your
case" The case proceeded.
Heller, for his defence, claimed that
he was asked to assist a constable to
arrest Mrs. Wagner on warrant, and
Constable John Wright was called to
prove that. He did SO glibly enough, but
wilted when the Prosecutor asked him
$50 you, constable, enter this Worn-
an mouse, use your cIuD anu uld5 ueI
off to JAIL assisted by this paan?' point
ing to Heller.
Eyes, SIR" replied Constable Wright,
looking triumphantly at Mrs. Wagner.
"Hem!' remarked the Assistant Prose
cutor, looking contemptuously at the con-
stable; "a highly praiseworthy piece of
work.
The prisoner called Justice of the Peace
VIM. F. Roesch of Hoboken. who also
had a hand in the disgraceful assault
on a woman. He told his story, and of
course praised Heller for his assault and
blamed Mrs. Wagner.
You have been indicted repeatedly?"
said the Assistant Prosecutor on cross
examination, but the Court would not
allow the question, much to the relief Of
the Justice, who sat squirming in the
witness chair. Roesch has become no.
torious for his peculiar methods of dis
pensing justice. Grand juries have re-
peatedly indicted him.
The defence did not impress the jury
who promptly convicted Heller.

The case of General Berthier is one to

Egypt Napoleon called him "chief of the

which, because of their desire to see
wives or sweethearts, were constantly
revolving against the campaign and
threatening to desert.
In 1904 Berthier had been made mar

him the princedom of Neufchatel; but it
was only on condition that ne give up

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Jan. 80, 895.-Every
trolley line in the city of Brooklyn was in
operation this morning except one. That
was the Third avenue line to Fort Ham
ilton. The strikers cut the wires of that
line at Bay Ridge during the night and
cars could not run until linetnen made
repairs. Wires wer cut in nine places in
all last night but were quickly put in
shape by the companies.
The strike is over. New motormen
and conductors have replaced the men
who went out in body on January H.
The linemen who went out on sym
pathetic strike a week later have broken
ranks on several lines, and those whose
places had not been filled were taken.

The six thousand men who went out
in body are stin holding out. They
were prepared for long siege, and say

they had laid away from their wages.

INDIRECT. POWER.
would Not Universal Suffrage BE an
Uuyyfse Thing?

Is it not possible that in our eagerness to
give every citizen the ballot we have forgotten
that unlimited suffrage may prove to be an
unbridled horse-an ungoverned engine? When
suffrage becomes universal where shall we
look for the unbiased, regulating influence? :?
If the right to vote is not inherent right,
may not the State wisely divide its adult cltl-
zens: into two classes, placing upon one class
the duty of voting and upon the other class
the no less important duty of regulating public
opinion, Of calmly reviewing the decisions OF
hotly contested elections. Of forwarding all
interests that make for the general improve
nesrt Of society through means less direct,
but often more satisfactory in results than
when, reached per saltum? CONFIDENCE is
strengthened when results affecting the gem
eral welfare are reached through Independent
methods OF procedure
How indirect influence may make itself felt
even at the polls shown in Kentucky last
fall, when the silver-tongued orator so
effectively silenced. Does any doubt that
the righteous indignation of large class of
non-Yoters was felt in that election?
There is another fact that must not for
get; intelligence and virtue in a contest with
ignorance and vice have no vantage ground at
the polls. where everything depends upon a
count. The welfare of our republic calls for
an economic distribution of its moral forces.
The question is not of rights, but rather
what means will secure the best lasting
sults-Mrs A. A. F. Johnson, in the Cleve-
land Plaindealer.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., jan 80, 1895.
Albert Russell Cook. one of the charac-
ters of Providence and the oldest news
paper editor in Rhode Island, was found
dead in bed last night.

more than tbirty-fye years ago, and he
was at one time the newspaper partner
Of George W. Donaldson, the late editor
of the Journal" For many years he
had lived sparingly upon money he re-
ceived through the sale of the Press
He was peculiarly distant, and for two
years during his business association
with Donaldson he did not speak to his
partner upon any matter whatever.
