The Jersey City News refers to it this

the only way to bring it together IS 10

alterations of doctrines which the
thinking men of the party, the conser--

Mr.. Daily may pat himself on the back

EXCITEMENT ON THE Boulevard
A lively Runaway Scatfers Wheel
men and Pedestrian.

There was another exciting time on the
Boulevard last evening when a small bay
horse attached to a light carriage ran
away. The rig was standing on the
Boulevard near the bridge which spans
the cut over the Newark and New YORK
Railroad when the horse became fright
ened at a passing engine and started on
on a gallop down the Boulevard through
Greenville. There was a large number
of cyclists out enjoying a spin, and when
the runaway horse eame tearing madiy
down the road there was a great scram-
BILE to get out of his way.
Harris Brothers, of West Tenth street,
Bayonne, who were out on their tan
dem, were not so fortunate, for when
they saw the frightened beast he was all
most on top of them. They jumped Oft
just in time to save themselves, but the
andem was demolished by the carriage
running over it.
After the frightened animal had run as
far as the Morris Canal bridge in Bay
onne he was stopped by several wheel
men who were standing there. The horse
escaped ~uninjured, but the two rear
wheels Of the carriages were sprung. The
owner came along about fifteen minutes
later and claimed the rig. He did not
give his name or address.

rr,s .uarrIage license Atrocity.

The State appears to be up in arms. from
end totend against the infamous marriage
law. which was enacted by the Begisla-
ture of this year. There is hardly a paper
which has not had a slap at it. It's arbi-

recognition. AS a sample of the various
things that are said about it, its denun-
citation by Senator Williams of Passaic

would defy the law. There never was a
jury, nor ever will be, to punish man or
minister under such circumstances

two other papers which are not controlled
by hysterical impulses, pointed out before
its passage the iniquity of this measure
They showed by conclusive arguments
that IN the effort to abolish the compare

far more repulsive to good government,
good morals. and, above all, to personal
liberty. These representations were in
vain. The ignorant and ineffective gang
who controlled the last Legislature passed
it regardless of consequences as a sop to
the toe, too good element, hoping thereby
to divert attention from their plumber of
the State.
Like all efforts of artificial morality, the
law has proved a disastrous misft. 1t

He has drawn the public attention to the
serious fact thai we do not efficiently

This, so far from being injurious. is use
full and reassuring. To know our weak
