NEW JERSEYS SHAME.
Under Present Laws sane People
can Re Gag ed in AsyIums.

Trenton, Jan. 3l-The boards of man
ayers of the two insane hospitals of
New Jersey say they know that sane
persons are committed to the insane
asylums. The fault lies in the COM
| initial law, which is full of holes, ard
the INSCRIPTIONS have taken advnnt-
age of these omissions, and made COM
initials that have brought disgra :, to
the asylums, they say.
During the past week n subcommit-

ing control of the Morris Plains and the

absence of a State commissioner on lu-
macy, under this bill the man that Viii
stand between the unfortunate person
and the asylum win be the judge Of the
court.
As il is now a man or woman not
wanted at home or in society is COM
mitted to an insane asylum. Two ply
sicians pronounce il case of insanity,
the freebooter of the locality indJTSes
their conclusion and the person Is COM
mitted.
The physician can be near relative
or a perfect stranger. and need have no
knowledge OF insanity.
A case is cited where a short time ago
a man had his wife committed to the
ASYLUM. Her sanity was so apparent
that because of the crowded condition
of the asylum it was thought that her
room was more desirable than her COM
pany under the circumstances. An eX-
animation was made, and 1t was de-
cided that it was a case of man get

once sent back to her husband, and he
was forced to accept her under threat
of exposure. In another instance two
physicians, father and son, signed the
certificate of a young woman, who is
a member of their own family, because
of her maynard habits. She belongs
in a sanitarium, but was sent to the
State ASYLUM. because it is cheaper.

teryals to go through the asylum end

Increased activity is noticeable
i'm connection with attempts TO
Illustrate the building and con-
troll Of the Nicaraguan Canal by
America. The Nicaraguan govern
ment is reported as only hesitating to
sell the railway and navigation con-
cession to the British Atlas Steamship
Company. while waiting for another
bid from Berlin syndicate" at the
request Of the German consul. Under
the terms of the American concession,
Nicaragua is estopped from making
the arrangement in question. There are
two dangers involved in the situation.
one is from England. but it is growing
less as that power loses its prestige
and aggressive force among the ma
tious. The other is that the Kaiser
may take il into his head to seize the
opportunity and try to thwart the
American enterprise. Such an idea
would not be foreign TO his character,
and there is some diplomatic opinion
that he is half inclined to try il. The
Administration has a chance To show
some very stiff backbone in calling
Nicaragua to book. This Government
has suggested such a degree of cow
ardice in its foreign relations during
the past five years that even little Gen.
tral American states are not afraid to
ignore American rights and affront US.

ical service in the midst of cholera and

have you read what General Ducrot,
who was anything but philo-Semite,
SAYS in his Defense de Paris about
Commandment Cohen; and in our last
colonial campaign do you know that
three Jewish officers fell in the Da-
honey and Tonkin wars?
Since we only form four-hun-
dredths part of the French population,
the proportion is big, and in the fu-
ture when you reprove twenty or even
a hundred criminals, let these refiec-
tions prevent your condemning 10000
citizens who have at least furnished
their contingent of faithful servants

HIS VIEWS HAVE CHANGED.
Pastor IF an EnglewOod. y. j.,
Church Tenders His Resignation.

New York, Jan. 31.-His resignation
as pastor of the Presbyterian Church,
in Englewood, n. j., has been rendered
by the Rev. James Eells, to the ses-
sion, and public announcement of the
fact will be made on February Z. He
has also rendered his resignation to
the Presbytery of the State, and it is
unconditional. Mr.. EellS says he has
taken the step after mature delibera-
ton. and he finds his views inconsist-
ent with the doctrines he is called up
on TO preach.
Mr.. Eells has been pastor of the
church for the last seven years, and
has made a brilliant record. He is an
orator of ability, and has been regard
ed as one of the leading lights of the
church. Contrary to published report,
he has not been offered pulpit else
where. He says he has no plans for
the future.
Mr.. Eells has been patron of out
door sports, and has a reputation as
golf player. Regret at his leaving is
manifested by the entire congregation,
and overtures have been made to have
him reconsider his determination to re-

Japan is reported as having faced

Britain. Lord Salisbury's retreat now
appears to have been complete and dis
orderly. China is understood TO have
agreed abjectly to every one OF the
Russian demands. Russia will retain
