Nefghbors.

John Pindeville. of No. COL Grand street.

involved in a war of words early, on last
Tuesday morning. From swearing at one
another they came to blows. In the fight

ment with a crash, but he picked himself
up and walked away. Later in the week
he complained of pains in the bau,k of his
head and when he was called 10 go TO

spond. The door was finally forced open
and he was found unconscious in bed. All
efforts to revive him proving useless. the
police of the Cornmunipaw avenue station
were notified.
He was removed in the ambulance to
st. Francis Hospital and Barber was ar
rested later in the day and locked up to
await the result of the injuries to Pinde-
vile. AT the hospital the physicians work
ed unsuccessfully to revive him. An exam
nation showed that his skull was frac-
tured and as he has been growing. steadily
weaker small hopes are entertained of his
recovery. Barber was held without bail
this morning

RESERVES MAY DIsBAND.
Bill Before the Legislature Which
Asks Reorganization.
Specaal to the Jerser Csty Nsws.

Opecfut 10 tHe Jersey Guy NeUe.
TRENTON, Feb. 8, 1s97-There is trouble
in the New Jersey Naval Reserves, and a
bill is now pending in the Legislature
which has for it's provision the complete
reorganization of the Reserves, without
some of the useless officers.
The bill that is pending had it's origin
among he officers of the Battalion of
the West, which is located in and below
Trenton. Captain Dahlgren, commander
Of the Battalion of the West, yesterday
announced that he had resigned, and
that Commander Jacques would on Tues
day hand in his resignation to the Gov
ernor.
From all that can be gathered among
the embers of the Naval Reserves Com
mander Jacques is not popular with the
Battalion of the West, and the bill pend
ing is to legislate him out of office. The
friends of the bill believe the Reserve
would be better off if it was directly I'M
der the management of the State Mill
tary Board.
Letting h South Jersey Division. As
the situation now exists there is danger
OF a widening of the breach to such al
extent that the Battalion of the West
may be ~disbanded. There is also danger
that the Legislature may offer the lack
of harmony as an excuse for refusing to
appropriate funds for maintaining the
Reserve next year.
Some military authorities who advo-
cate the disarmament of the Reserve say
that the regular military companies in
seaport cities could at a small expense
be drilled in the m-anoeuvres now being
learned by the members of the Reserve,
and that satisfactory results could be
accomplished.
1t is al open secret that Commander
Jacques has offered to take 200 members
of the Reserve to Washington at his
own expense to act as an escort to Gov
ernor Griggs on Inauguration Day.

HAVING beer exposed in its attempt to
make the Johnson bill popular by pre-
tending that the railroads are opposed to
it, the Estate Gazette threw off the
mask on Saturday and came out boldly
for The measure. Its advocacy was based
on the somewhat indiscreet ground that
the proposed commission would prevent
any more 'anti-railroad legislation"
This is a pretty argument. It would
suit the corporations to have a buffer be
tween themselves and the people. com
posed of three men selected by their
own Governor as being strictly amena-
BILE to railroad influences.
The bill is a hopelessly bad bill. 1t
should be unhesitatingly killed.

The "Journars, Libel on Colonel
Abernethy.


Having devoted over a column one day
recently to libelling Colonel Abernethy,
and. incidentally, the Fourth Regiment
al large, the Evening Journal Saturday
gay a quarter of a column of its now
limited space to an abject apology. This
was done to avoid prosecution for the
most fagrant libel ever printed in this
city; it was only done after a prolonged
delay, and when the issue could no longer
be lodged or evaded.
Nobody could find fault with a proper
apology for error made by the Journal
Any newspaper is liable % error. The
shocking thing about it is the absurd
falsehood to which resort is made for a
paIliatson of the original offence. This is
the absence of the Editor"
Now everybody knows that the Editor
of the Journal was not personally. re-
sponsible for the libellous attack on
Colonel Abernethy, and is not directly re-
sponsible for anything else that goes into
the paper. Under any circumstances, it
is impossible for an editor to see even a
small part of what goes into his paper
each day. previous to its publication. and
consequently it makes no difference
whether he is in the city or absent from
it, so far as a large part of the news mat
ter is concerned.
But in the case of the Journal" the
excuse of absence is additionally ludicrous
because the Editor is never in the city.
A little over a year 20, Mr.. Phelps
bought the Journal for a plaything.
He found 1t a painfully troublesome and
Interestingly expensive one. He speedily
abandoned all active interest in the con-
Germ and started in to do his editing at
long range after the style of the dis
tinguished editor of the Herald" This
plan he has pursued ever since, and his
explanation of any other of the aberra-
tons of his sheet Just as eogently as in
the case of the shameful attack on
Colonel Abernethy.
The signs of Mr.. Phelps absence are
written all over the Journal If h
were here, keeping his hand on the tiller,
the blindest can appreciate how different
the paper would be both in respect to the
things which go into it and those which
do nnf Mr. DhaInr Sc n oan+lo,,o. or1 ~
honest man, and whatever his political
Affiliations may be, he would not permit
an organ, bearing his name, to be used
against the public interests at every turn,
and for the qualification of private malice
M occasion offered.
The real blame for the libel on Colonel
Abernethy lies with the vicious standards
to which those who really run the paper
adhere. Personal objects of the most cor
rupt and sordid kin are constantly pur-
sued, and those who know the inside re-
1ations of things seldom lave any trouble
in guessing the reasons for the coloring
hat is given to current events. Just
what the motive of the attack on Colonel
Abernethy may have been, one can only
conjecture None but the Colonel and the
perpetrators of the libel know definitely.
But the spirit which led to its publication
is known to all-it is the same spirit of
wanton disregard of truth and reckless
contempt of consequences which animates
the Journals course on all public ques-
tions.

Thc Equal Taxation Fight.

1t is to be hoped that the equal taxation
fight will not be allowed to fall into the
background at Trenton. Since the OPEN
ing week of the Legislature. when the
bills were put in, nothing has been done
to advance them. The committee, to
which the bills were referred, has held no
meetings and given no hearings. None of
the Senators or Assenblymen has said a
word about the subject during the SEES
sions. Nobody has gone down to Tren-
ton to urge the taking up of the bills.
The fight will not be won in this way.
Mr. Klink. who is understood to be the
spokesman for Jersey City. will have to
exert himself. 1t was not thus thai John
Wahl Queen forced the issue upon a
Z hostile majority last year. If he had been
supine. the matter would never nave got
50 far even az the appointment of a
Commission.
An uphill fight is ahead of the people,
who are trying to wrest something from
the corporations. It can only by unceas-
ing struggle. Aggression and still more
aggression and always aggression, to
parody a noted saying. is the way to win.
The fight should be renewed on the floor
of the Assembly every day in the session,
and it should each day be prolonged to
the last moment of possibility. The
eleven Hudson Assemblymen, all the
Democrats in the House and all other
member who have a spark of indepen-
dence should unite in making the Hall
Of the Assembly ring with the demands
Of sovertaxed people.
