There was n dramatic scene In the Hudson
County N. j. Court Of Common Pleas yester
day when Judge Hudspeth temporarily dis
barred Alexander Simpson, n young lawyer
pending investigation into published charges
against him. This was supplemented later in
the day by the news that Assistant Prosecutor
Joseph Noonan had resigned
The allegations leading up to these Incidents
formed part Of an exposure of corruption In
the administration OF justice made by THE
Jersey City Journal" II has long been patent
to everybody that crime and criminals were
being protected in Hudson County by some
PERSON or persons In authority. In seeking to
get at the bottom Of this shameful condition OF
affairs agents Of "The Journal were Informed

only necessary to put up the price Accord
ing to their story, they We're introduced TO AS
sistant Prosecutor Noonan as individuals who
Fad an interest in getting somebody out Of jail.
As "The Journal men tell 1t, Noonan was not
a bit coy or backward. On the contrary, he

he could hoodwink the Court ard battle justice.

CHARLES BUTLER.

Charles Butler died yesterday. He had lived
nearly a hundred years. He had attained dis
tinction In a great profession. He had amassed
an ample fortune. He had assisted conspcu-
ously and efficiently in founding several insti-
tutions OF National benehcence. and for more
than threescore years had devoted time, labor,
knowledge and money without stint to the
STRENGTHENING Of their foundations and the e1-
tension of their good works. He had been Tor
longer than two average lifetmcs an exemplary
Christian. n loyal citizen kindly neighbor, an
honest man: and in every relationship pubic
and private, had borne "the white flower OF
blameless life" And he died in peace and
honor.
The clamorous voice OF common fame has
sounded abroad more often other names than
his The professional achievements OF others
have been more sensational. Others have nc-
qulred more wealth. and their use Of 1t has
been more talked about But few men Of his
age. taking them all In all. have left records
OF higher and wider bencfceDce to their fellow
men than his, so briefly limited at in the out

mortal.

That wos q remarkable interview which
Jncob Worth gave TO the press on Saturday
last-remarkable for its ability and remarkable
for Its absolute and taking candor his Is HIS
view Of the qualities of leadership displayed by
the man whom Quigg delights to call MASTER
Of the State:
Platt Is never able to tell what Is going TO
hammer He thought that General Tracy would
win and kept telling his friends 40, and when
the blow hit the Republicans he was so stunned
that he didn't open his mouth for week flatt
hasn't brains enough to measure his adversary
He hasn't the power to recognize changed con-
dltions Neither morally nor mentally is ne
qualified for leadership. Platts place Is down
among the coal bunkers and not In the plot
house.
Mr.. Worth has had long experience with MT.
Platt. us has also Cornelius n. Bliss, the repre-
sentative Of New-Yorf in President McKinley's
Cabinet. who was chosen for that place by Mr..
Plat himself. This Is the testimony of Mr..
Bliss concerning his leadership:
Mr. Plat says that he is honestly for Governor
Morton for President. That am not Inclined
to doubt but I fear the Governor VIII get niue
from an advocate who deliberately acts so n
to make Il impossible for sef-respectnS men 70
be allied with him, even for a good purpose
He talks about "bol,ers" and men who wish
TO rulo or ruin" Mr.. Platt has been hotter
and an exponent Of the "rule-or-ruin' policy
ever since I have known him. He bolted from
Garfield. from Arthur from Conking and Har-
rison. and finally from the organization IN this
city. when II was rehab!litated by the commit
tee o. Thirty.
II NAV be that Republicans will submit 70 the
rule OF this man and his County Committee
They would have the public think thet every
one who opposes their demands Is bolter and
a sinner But whatever comes OF the party as
the result OF the doings OF these men, BIT fla''
will be held responsible.
