A PUBLIC NUISANCE.
From Yesterdays ..Herald.el

IFrom Yesterdays "Herald."]
1t is in order again to remark that the
game wardens of the State are getting to
be recognized as being as greedy and
heartless a public nuisance as the dog
catcher. Within the last few days they
have been guilty of the atrocity of
snatching poor men from the support of
their families, and thereby sending the
wives and children into the poorhouses.
The accusation against two of their needy
victims was that each had a brown
thrush or two in his possession, and
against another that he went into the
woods with. a gun on his shoulder of a
Sunday morning in violation of the game
laws of the State. They were probably
all ignorant or innocent offenders But
that went for nothing with these rapa-
cious vultures of the law. At the end of
the prosecution there was a fine to be
divided with the game warden, and 1t
was his share of the fine, of course, that
the game warden was after. Two or
three of their luckless prisoners who were
unable to pay were sent to Jail for long
terms, in the nope of forcing them to run
in debt to their friends for the money
and in one instance the report says that
the offenders family will become a charge
on the community. The game warden is
a public seourge that cannot be too soon
wined ont.

4 JAY RESULT.

Up the Anti Race Track
Result

[From the New York Herald of Yes
terday.1
The local newspapers hat insist that
the majorities against the race track
amendments were east in the Democratic
counties must have lost their bearings.
Unhappily for their view of it, four of
the seven counties-Atlantic. Essex, Mer-
Ger and Passaic-have always been Repub-
lican s~trongholds. While of a fifth
Union-it may be noted that she is as a
weather cock in her politics. She trains
sometimes with the Democrats. sometimes
with the Republicans. Her latest lean
ings lave been Republicanward. The only
two Democratic counties that declared ad-
versely against the amendment were Hud-
son and Monmouth.
A much more tangible and visible line
of demarcation between the communities
that We're for it and those that were
against it is the line of popular enlighten-
ment. The people who are most accus-
toned to dealing with public questions
were those from whom the adverse ma
~jorities came. 1t is one of the features of
the campaign hat in the communities
where the question was most actively dis-
cussed, the negative sentiment was inc
most pronounced. The adverse vote was
most in violence among the people VINO
read the daily spa who keep
abreast with the spirit of the age, VINO
are too enlightened to be frightened by
every bugaboo the overzealous and over
timid conjure before their eyes.
The other vote came largely from the
rural counties far off the beaten track.
1t was cost by a people served only
by weekly papers, whose editors
dared not to say it, if indeed
they knew that there were w
sides to the question, and whose pastoral
souls were narrowed by C~alvanistic Wis
ions of blue fire and eternal damnation
if they dared to go otherwise than as
communities in New Jersey. and it is
doubtful whether. even if the discussion
could have been carried among them,
they could nave been tempted from their
idols

Ri. Rev. Or. BurreIl,. Mistakes.

AT the big Christian Endeavor meeting
at Paterson. yesterday, the Rev. David
]. Burrell said. MY right to a Sabbath
observance depends on a Sabbath observ-
anee law. 1 have to make others keep
the Sabbath so that ! may keep the Sab
BATH"
This attitude is characteristic of con-
temporary clericalism- 1t is the spirit
which is not content with the fullest lib
erty for itself, with the fullest legal and
social protection for its ideas and de-
sires; but which insists upon imposing
them on other people, whose ideas and
desires are totally different.
Mr.. Burrell also said. Foreigners for
get they lose their personal rights when
they get here and then get social rights
Just what this means, only Mr.. Burrell
knows. for nobody else can guess
he means by social rights" There are
personal rights, which are the only val
liable rights per Sc. the rights which
0Aaa <ALCAeO4
lines of the Declaration of I%ndepend-
ence," and there are political rights,
which are vaiuable only in SO far as they
guarantee personal rights. We were not
aware that anyone had to surrender his
personal rights to become an American
citizen, and we do not think such is the
general impression. What the foreign
err is supposed to gain by coming to
America is an extension of his personal
rights through the extension of his po-
litical rights. II the %prejudices and mar
rownesses of DIR. Burrell had full sway.
the Foreigners acquisition would be in
the nature of a gold brick; but fortu-
nately there are only a few BurreIls in
the country.
AS for the Sabbath controversy, the
constant allusion to the foreigner" is
simply tiresone. If DR.. Burrell will go to
Coney Island or South Beach, or Fort
Sunday, he can easily satisfy himself that
not over five per cent. of the visitors
are Foreigners" and not over five per
cent. of the liquor drinkers either. The
native born American. as a standard
man, is no more blue-nosed than the
Frenchman or German. and far less than
the English or s~cotchman. The alleged
contrast Is merely a convenient fiction
of the clerical element. which is labor
ing to establish a medieval despotism
over private life In this country.
THE London Times commenting
editoriaily. yesterday, upon the New York
Mayoralty contest. and Henry Georges
prominence IN 1t. said
1t is humiliating to think that there is
any possibility Of his being the first Mayor
of the enlarged New York.
It is Illuminating; but not worse so than
tie supremacy Of Tom Platt. the leader
ship Of Croker and sheehan. the fact that
the nation WAS recently driven TO a choice
between two such humbugs as Bryan and
mckinley. or than the recent vote on the
race track amendment in this State. 1t is
an era Of false prophets.
