called at the home of Charles H. Parker,
in the suburbs, this morning and de-
manded his breakfast. On account of
his insulting mannersth the request was re-
fused, when the stranger began abusing
Mrs. Parker in the vilest language and
threatened to attack her.
Mr.. Parker, hearing the disturbance,
came to his wife's rescue, when the
man made his escape toward this city.
He was followed and placed under ar
rest and later given a hearing before
Police Justice Smith. who fined him SO
or ninety days in the County Jail. The
man gave his name as Thomas Robertson,
and claimed Philadelphia his home. In
stead of going to jail. as the Justice ex-
pected he would, them man produced four
or more well-filled p~ocketbooks and leis-
urely paid his fine. taking a few bills
from each book and chuckling at the JUS
tees establishment.

Bulldozing in Newark.

In its New Jersey page, the World
says this morning tho Senator Smith
should come pack and have a commission
de lunatico appointed to investigate Col.
Z. D. Price of Newark and his followers
in the Essex County Democratic Commit
tee. The principal objection that We see,
is that Mr. Smith himself seems to be
more than a little touched with the pre-
yailing madness of politicians.
This is the way the World, outlines
the grounds of its suspicion as to Prices

At the meeting this week of hat body
several well known Democrats who were
present, and others who were absent,
were practically expelled because they

Among those present who were sum

not so well known but they We're at least
well enough thought of in their pre-
cincts to be selected as Representatives
of their party in the Central Committee.
Among the absentees who will feel
that they have been expelled are Judge
Gottfried Kruger. whose loyalty to his
party has never been questioned, and
Alderman Abram c.. Denmon, Democratic
leader in the Newark Common Council.
The World goes on to say that all
these men are Democrats. It is right.
The Chicago platform. with its new
tangled and reckless declarations of an
archistic and ~socialistic heresies, cannot
be made a tombstone of Democracy to
test men who have voted and worked for
the party for years and who still cling
TO the traditions of Jefferson. jackson,
Seymour. Tilden and Albeit.
In summing up its conclusions, the
World makes some remarks of strik-
ing practical shrewdness:-

though there was not round even for a
suspicion regarding him.. In a statement
which Goldman makes to the newspapers
this morning. he says

ments.
They did not permit me to communicate
with my friends or to a any steps to
convince them of my innocence.
When such conditions prevail, as they
certainly do in New York, no citizens
life or liberty or reputation is safe at
any time. The conduct of the police is
more arbitrary and reckless than In any
European country. hardly excepting Rus
STA.
The newspapers rave about arbitrary
arrests in Cuba, and the detention of
prisoners without adequate opportunity
to prove their Innocence. Why go to
Cuba, when the same abuse prevails at
home? The arrest of Goldman was an
unwarranted outrage. If his account Of
his subsequent treatment is true, the
outrage was deeply intensified.
1t is nearly time that the law provided
some remedy In the shape of suits for
damages for occurrences of this sort.
