Gratis said the Republican party had
done the devilment. 1t took us some
time to find out that no matter what
the two old parties said about each
other during campaign they always
came together when they reached
Washington (Laughter) 1t was a
case of pot and kettle. 1t was case of
coon and raccoon. 1t was case of
jumping out of the frying pan into the
fire. daughter and cheers We say
to the people of the United States that
this financial system is radically wrong
and we are going to remedy it. 1t is
wrong foc the reason they are still
burning your paper money, they will
not allow the coinage of silver except
to take the place of paper money,
which now simply represents silver
Therefore the silver they coin does not
add one iota to the currency. We say
this system is wrong. Why? Moneyis
but one of the commodities which obey
the great law of supply and demand.
If you have much money it is easier to~
get than when you have little money,
The less money there is the harder it is
to get If today it takes two bales of
cotton to get the same amount of
money that you got for one bale six
years ago, then you have let the money
changers swindle you out of the price
of one bale of cotton. CHEERS and
cries of THAT'S right,'O If you could
pay your poll tax by working one day
in 1867, whereas now it takes three,
you have allowed the money changers
to swindle You out of two days of your
life. The money you get today costs
four times as much labor as the money
you got in 1856 or 1867. If the prices of
products and the prices of labor have
gone down, the result will be that the
men who are in debt now will never
get out. That the man under the wheels
today will never get from under them.
(Applause.) A man stricken down by
the power Of the gold standard is lost
forever.
"They tell me that the laborer must
get as good dollar as any body else
gets. Where is the laborer who is dis.
satisfied with the collar he is getting
He is dissatisfied with the dollar which
he is not getting. (Laughterl. He is
grrlmbling about the dollar he cannot
get Why? Because it roosts too high.
Uaughter). It's away out of his reach.
These people who think they have alb
sorbed all the financial sense in the
world tell you that an increase in the
prices of farm products would not help
the laborer, and speaking through the
mouth of Bourke Cochran of New York,
they want to know how on earth the
laborer is to be benefited by higher
prices for our products, and assure us
that higher prices will decrease the pur-
chasing power of wages. I don't ex-
pect to convince Mr.. COCHRAN nor Mara

R BAD HUSBANDS,
All of Them Reat Their Wives in the
Mopth of July.


Three wife-beating cases were ratified
off in short order in the Special Sessions
Court today.
Thomas Sullivan. of No. 65 Adams
street, Hoboken, went home on July IS
full of mixed ale and because his wife
Julia found fault with him he slapped
her in the face. Mrs. Sullivan said her
husband was q good man except when he
was drinking. He was found guilty.
The next was Philip Reilly, of No. IA
Grand street, Hoboken, who beat his wife
Mary on July IS. The woman said her
husband struck her on the forehead with
a cup. He was drunk. Reilly said that
when he went home he found his wife
drinking witt a man. He joined the party
and before it broke up they put away
eight or nine pints of beer. In the morn
ing they had whiskey. His wife wanted
to drink some more whiskey out of a cup
and he tried to get the cup away from
her. In the struggle the cup struck her
in the forehead. He was convicted.
William Lakeland was the third victim.
On July "a he went to his home. No. 204
Second street. Harrison, accompanied by
q large sized jag, and when his wife found
fault with him he pulled her hair and
arose from the fact that his wife said
she was going to a picnic. He told her
she couldn't go. and if she did he would
take a day off and go, too. His wife
struck him and his stepson also struck
him. He had his stepson arrested and his
wife then caused his arrest for satisfac-
ton. He was convicted.
Sentence was SUSPENDED in Sullivan's
case. Reilly and Lakeland were sent to
Snake Hill for thirty days.

GHOST OR S0MNAMBULIsT3
A Woman in White Haunts Mercer
Ssraet in rho Storrn

All unmindful of the angry state of the
elements, about one o'clock this morn
ing a woman saunteredi up and down
Mercer street, bare headed. barefooted,
and clad only in her night gown. She
walked as though it was an every day
matter for women to appear on the
streets at that hour in their night clothes,
enjoying the cooling breezes. She left
the house, No. 1877 Mercer street. shortly
before ONE o'clock and glided rather than
walked to the corner of Monmouth street.
She then retraced her steps, but it APP
pears she lost her way. for she entered
the house next door, No. 1S9. She only
remained there a few seconds. hen she
come out of, but again she remained
only a few seconds.
On again entering the street she re-
peated her performance, each time mis-
taking the house. Twice she crossed
the street. A wagon passing did not in
any way disturb her. Neither was she
in the least disturbed by a man who
stopped and looked at her. The man
appeared to be badly frightened. He ran
through the street as though followed by
an evil spirit. All this time the rain
was falling in torrents, the lightning
flashed and the thunder pealed loud
enough to wake the dead, but the woman
went through her queer antics as COM
placently as If she were dressed for a
picnic.
The neighbors. when question, appeared
totally ignorant of the woman's identity.

Many ordinances agree in stating tina
in city or town no bicyclist shall ride
IN sidewalks; that TOO great speed is
dangerous; that coasting, where cross
streets are common, is dangerous; and
that anything likely to endanger foot
passengers or be dangerous to the wheel
man must be avoided. The regulations
are made to cover these matters. 1t
therefore behooves the wfneeamant to
guard against any of these matters;
for if we all thought of the possible
danger and inconvenience to other citi-
zens, there would be no occasion for
stricter regulations than there have been
for carriages. Hence, if you coast in a
city or town, you are helping the move
ment which will cause Aldermen and
Selectmen to pass more severe laws. If
you ride on sidewalks. you are in just
so far stimulating the popular prejudice
against wheels, raising the fines, and
causing a general feeling thai bicyciists
must be legislated against When YOU
are on country roads. whore not one
person an hour passes, choose the side
path, since it may be The only good bit
Of road; but when you come to civiliza-
ton, remember that no matter how bad
the road, and no matter how many other
wheelmen may be hiding on sidewalks,
and coasting and scorching, the law asks
you to keep to your proper place, and
you are helping the cause of bicycling.

COTS FOR SICK sAIL0RMgN.
Humane Contrivances TO He Placed
on All War Ships.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 30. 1885,
The latest Continuance of Surgeon Cen
eral Tryon, of the Navy. who is con-
~tinually working for the moderation of
the condition of our sailors, is a novel
cot for the "sick bays of war ships, to
replace the ordinary canvas hammocks
that are so little adapted for the use of
men in the long sieges of fevers common
to a ports, and which are useless
when operations have to be performed
for gunshot wounds in time of battle or
fractures in time of peace.
The new cot is of iron with a sensible
mattress and canvas sides, provided with
numerous devices for the comfort of the
occupant and convenience of the attend
ants. 1t may be swung from movable
stanchions or moved to any deck. Adj
Unstable tables and frames for raising the
body and limbs are provided, and alto
gether nothing conceivable is omitted
for the benefit of the sick sailor. Secre-
tary Herbert has directed them to be in
cluded in all the ships now under con-
struction and as rapidly as possible they
will be placed on all naval vessels.

FIVE YEARS FOR HIM.


William Morris, a big hulking negro.
and perfect specimen of a tramp, was
convicted in the General Sessions Court
today of highway robbery. On July 20
Peter Kiernan came from New York to
Newark ito see some friends. The meet
ing was celebrated in due form and when
Herman started to go home about ten
p. NJ. he had a loa on board which he
could have carried better if somebody
else had had half of it.
When he reached Vincent street. near
the Consolidated Companv's depot, he
was accosted by three negroes. One of
them asked him for a light and Herman
gave him a box of matches. Another
asked him for a chew of tobacco and
walked off with the whole paper Kier-
nan didn't like the looks of the men and
he started to walk to the bridge thinking
a trolley car would soon pvertake him.
Morris followed him.
After passing the draw Morris moved
up to Herman and began to elbow him.
After leaving the bridge Morris struck
Herman on the head and knocked him
down. He then stripped the PROSTATE
man of his coat and vest. putSthem on
and started back to Newark. There were
s25 in the vest. Herman was left lying
on the track.
Information of the robbery was sent
to the bridge tenders at the draw and
Waen MOTIFS came along they detained
him. The Newark police were sum
moned and the prisoner was taken to
Newark. Herman came along afterward
and identified his coat and vest. He also
recognized Morris as the man who robbed
him.
AS the robbery was committed IN this
city Chief Murphy sent Detective Nc
Nally over to Newark and had Morris
brought here.
Morris denied that he robbed Herman.
He accounted for the possession of the
men gave them to him.
He was sentenced to State Prison for

WASHINGTON, July 80. 1ss6.-The

Pacific Railroad lands. The Secretary of
the Interior has recommended TO the At

are large tracts along the line of the road

A NEW TROLLEY MOVE.
An Effort to This City and
Hoboken by Electric Cars.

"A prominent lawyer in Hoboken is
drafting a petition to be presented at
the next meeting of the Common Council
asking them to grant a franchise for a
line of trolley cars on Ferry and New
ark street. The petition is being gotten
up at the instance of the North Hudson
Railway Company. This means that an
effort will be made to improve the travel
ing facilities between Hoboken and Jer-
sey City.
One of the stipulations in consideration
of which the franchise is to be granted
is that the company regrade and asphalt
Newark street from Washington to Hud-
son.
Mr.. David Young. manager of the
Consolidated Traction Company, was
seen at his office in the First National
Bank building this morning and asked
concerning the new scheme.
He said:-"I suppose this is a move
to get over here into jersey City, but
by what street / cannot say. / think
the people of Hoboken would be foolish
to stick to horse cars when they can have
trolley cars. l nave no doubt but what
Jersey City and Hoboken will soon be
