The above suit was brought after a

ELIZABETH, Dec. IS, 1S97.-Senator
VOORHEES, said yesterday that there was
no prospect of the Senate Investigating
Committee going to Hudson county to
look into the corruption charges made
there.
The Senate Committee" said Mr..
Voorhees,, would do nothing in the mat
ter anyhow until after the Legislature
conveyed. Then, if there was a desire on
the part of the Senate to take up the af-
fair, a new committee would have to be
appointed, OF which | would not be a

SO far as the present investigating COM
mittee is concerned, it will for several
reasons maintain a neutral position"

The s~1surnai,, and Other News
papers.

The Journal is, of course, elated over
the results of its excursion into the
realms of crime in this county. 1t is
very welcome to its enjoyment. Nobody
wants to steal it or even share it. But
there dis mo reason why it should adopt
h @shelier-than-thous' tone, which per-
xaded its. columns. yesterday, towards the
remaining newspapers ofzthe county. The
other rpapers are no more tolerant of
crime THAI the Journal is, but they
take "a somewhat different view of the
functions of a. newspaper. The fact that
newspaper are unwilling to adopt the
methods of Anthony fComstoek and
premotng. their circulation Is no sufficient
reason why the Journal should accuse
them of having criminal sympathies."
It is only two or three days since 1.-The
News expressly waived all criticism of
b Journals course in this Noonan-
Simpson scandal. But if the Journal is
so very pharisaieal in its attitude, we
nay abe allowed TO say that, on general
principles we hold its action in respect
TO these two criminals in adherence.
The aundoabted function of journalism
as tosexpose all the. evils that it can dis
scoyer by inquiry and investigation.
Therefore, so long as the journal lin
tied itself to such revelations as were
possible in tina way, it was well within
the requirements of newspaper ethics
and only the. policy of its. action was dis
putahle. But when a newspaper takes to
putting up jobs, even on criminals, when
1t takes TO using personal acquaintance
to secure the confidence of a wretched
man, and then abuses that confidence by
and then traps him into a crime and
exposes that crime and turns him over
to justice-when it does this merely that
it may sell a few more copies per diem
at two cents apiece, we say such conduct
is neither journalistic nor gentlemanly
nor Christian; we say it is base and de-
PRAYED.
In a word. our idea of journalism is
more like that of the New York Sur
or Tribune or Post" The ideas of
Mr.. Sheffield Phelps, Mr.. Joseph A. Dear
and Mr.. Rappelye are more like those
OF Hearst and Pulitzer-though, it is fair
to say, Hearst and Pulitzer have never
done anything quite SO extreme as the
action of the 'tJournaf' in the present
ease

NOW having said this, and having said
1t merely in response to wanton provo
cation by the Journal we hasten to
add that the Journals act, though, as
we think, abhorrent in itself, may be
productive of public good.
We have mot the remotest doubt that
the Journals" story is true in every mi
nutest detail. The job was scleverly put
up, and the game was played with con-
summat skill. The article was admira-
b1y written, and carried conviction with
it from beginning to end. Besides. it is
6ncredible sthatethe t.Journal'' would have
made such a blunder as to launch these
charges without being sure of its posi-
tien.
4EyenSWhen Mr.. sRappelye made his ia
NOUS refusal to answer questions before
the Grand Jury, we did moi doubt that
the story was true. But we did think,
and we said we thought that Mr.. Rap
pelye's refusal would shake the general
confidence at least in the Journals
ability to prove its case, and tina a re-
action might set in in favor of the ac-
cused- This very thing happened. The
tsJeurnal'' made, as we said, a tactical

ONE saying of the Journal in par
tieular demands some notice. 1t is this
The people of Hudson county appreciate
fully that heaven n earth will be moved
10 prevent the Indictment of these two
men, and they are also aware that If the
evidence lis SO strong that nothing on
earth can save them from Indictment, the
pare for q miscarriage of Justice when
they are. II ever, brought to trial.
This is mere wanton sensationalism. It
is an attempt to arouse public feeling,
and, perhaps, later. political prejudice by
absolutely gratuitous assumption.
We do not believe that any effort will
be made-except by the men themselves
to avert the indictment, trial and punish
ment Of Noonan and Simpson. ANY such
effort would be ridiculous. This case
must find its way into court. If the Grand
Jury refuses to indict the men, it must
indict the Journal" If it refuses to do
that also, the accused must sue the -FOUR
nal' for damages.
Unless they can secure a judicial decis-
ion in their favor, they cannot earn their
bread in this community. and therefore
the case must be tried in court in one
form orsanother. Both are poor men and
~caanotslive except BY the practice of their
vofession.

Thomasville, May 5-George Crittenden,
a young negro giant in strength and size,
who worked at a turpentine still near
Townsville, not being contented with
ordinary offerings, stole from another
negro his wife and SO, and came here to
catch a train. He had bought his tickets
and was awaiting the departure Of the
train, but the injured husband had pursued
him and was there with Policeman Brown.
The policeman ordered Crittenden to
take his hands from his pockets. The negro
refused and a tussle followed, each man
drawing his revolver. The negro jabbed
Brown in the face under the eye with his
pistol, dazing him Two white men ran
up and grabbed the negro, who, putting
forth his strength, easily shook off all his
assailants and made a dash for liberty,
being shot at by the policeman as he fed.
Crittenden carried his own weapon with
him and left his three would-be captors
surprised and chagrined, the crowd look
ing on at their discontinue. The dusky
iothario escaped unhurt and Policeman
Brown will use only one eye for a while.
