EIGH SCHOOL FORENSIC.
The Society wiii give a Handsome
Medal al Commencement.

The Forensic Society of the Jersey CITY
High School is the Oldest and one of the
most widely known literary societies OF
this city. 1t was founded in 1875 by the
then vice principal of the school. Since
its organization it has numbered among
its members such men as ex-Asseinbiy-
man Isaac F. G~oldenhorn, William 5. Ba-
ker. Fred Klein, Parker G. Mcllheny,
Counselor George G. Tenant and Messrs.
Sherwood, Raskells and Asch.
The aim Of the society is to give to its
member literary training and pariiamen,
tary practice, and that IT has succeeded
in so doing is attested TO by the many
men of this city who look back upon their
entrance into the Forensic as the begin
ming OF their prosperous careers. M.
Asch. a prominent and successful teacher
OF this city, says
s.The first literary training | received
was in the Forensic Society The oppor-
tunities offered me there for parliamen,
tary and literary practice were many anS
of the best. / believe that if every High
School boy could be a Forensican thS
school standard would be raised"
This idea has been put forth many times
by prominent ex-Forensicans. and the
Young men who compose the society at
present are justly proud of the good opin-
ions and many hearty wishes TOT the
future welfare of the society. expressed
by their predecessors and according 70
the work being done at present. they are
aiming to show their well-wishers that
they try to deserve the good wores they
are given.
1t has been the custom of the Forensic
since it's organization to give a medal
to the best speaker of the evening at
Commencement. and the boys are making
preparations to follow the custom nast 9n
and pretentious medal at this Commence
ment. This medal will be paid for by the

Judge Woford is n Of the apiest
criminal lawyers in the State of Missouri.
He has been on the bench in Jackson
county. of which Kansas City is the seat,
for the past six years.
Judge Wofford is one Of the leading
Democrats of the Southwest. There is no
better or more widely known man in that
section of the country.
The careful balancing of right ana
wrong and the dispensing of e~ven-handed
Justice brings with it a judicial, discrirni-
mating habit of mind that no profession
~cultfvates like the law.
Judge Wofford is not n of those per-
sons who are afraid to see things with
their own eyes, TO weigh evidence and to
govern their lives accordingly. Judge
Wofford was in poor health. His friends

Mrs. Blanche Straight, who furnished
her husband with the saws by the aid of
which he so cleverly escaped from the
City Prison on January q, was admit
ted to bail this morning in the nominal
sdm of 500. The bail was furnished by
Thomas Reddy, Jr., Of No. 27s1s Washing

that it has no case against Mrs. Straight.
Her three months detention in the Coun-

cheeks, but otherwise she retains a large
share of good looks She looked quite
happy as she left the court room free.

Almost the first sensible or public
spirited thing hat has been said by the
Evening Post in regard to the inpend-
ing war clouds, was contained in last
evenings edition. AS wisdom or decency
is rare in that quarter on this subject.
we quote the few lines which seem to be
worthy OF endorsement
If. unfortunately. this country goes to
be put forth to make It short. sharp and
decisive. II it could be ended in thirty
days BY an overwhelming display Of
tail the loss OF life and property in pro-
portion TO their length. The object of
war is to cause the utmost possible
amount OF misery to the enemy py Kill
ing There is no soft a to make war.
Therefore. IL we are to nave 1t. lei us
have it in the largest possible measure.
Every word of this we endorse. If we
can end the war in one engagement as
the conflict between Prussia and Austria
was begun and ended with Sadowa, by
all means let us have the battle, however
desperate, and an end of the sorrow and
b~loodshed.
Indeed. If we infict the serious defeat
upon the Spanish naval forcas. ii is hard
to see how the wal is to De prolonged.
If it is, it must be through }nere Spanish
obstinacy. and IT must be Throughout an
utterly one-sided affair.
Spain can probably SIND to sea one
fleet capable of fightinSA modern marine
sseaassnt. thoughG is not very plain
that she has suca(a fleet a~ctually con-
centrated and satsror~action. But as
Stunning that she could just once oppose
to us a gathering of ships approximating
Commodore schley's or Captain samp-
sons squadrons in force. and assuming
that that fleet of hers We're dissipated-
sunk, captured. driven into port-it is
more than hard to conceive of any often
sive step that she could then take against
us.
OF course, we could go ahead and drive
her out Of Cuba and Porto Rico. We
could next capture her various island pos
sessions in the Atlantic, and at last we
might in a ~leisurely way blockade and
bombard her home ports, and ultimately
land an expeditionary army on her own
territory.
Just how she would interfere with any
of our acts until we landed on her ter
ritory, it is hard to see. She could not
do so without ships, and where are the
ships to come from?
1t is not that Spain is without money.
1t is shrewdly suspected that a war with
the United States would result in the
seizure of the vast treasure of the Church
in Spain, and the confiscation and sale of
sevenfy-fve per cent. of the Church
lands. There Is, besides, a vast horde Of
wealth protected by privilege and influ-
ence, which does not contribute to the
upholding of the Government. A war
would probably be made the occasion for
an attack upon this Also. and it is not
unlikely that the grandee element would
be stripped Of its exemptions and its SUI
perffuities in very short order. In this
way, the Spanish Government would
probably realize in a few months a vast
sum of money.
But after war breaks out, money alone

SO much for the competition. The sec
ond pamphlet is in the nature of a code
of specifications. It gives, virtually, a
description of what the Library n its
accommodations ought to be. 1t seems
to be the product of the years of expe-
rience which the Trustees la enjoyed,
and of very painstaking professional skill.
Certainly ne layman is in a position to
amend it in any material degree. and we
lave only to repeat hat If it is not all
that it should be, it comes as near it as
human contrlvance will allow.
Some Of the features win meet with
special approval from thinking people,
none more than the Injunction to COM
petitors TO avoid elaboration of ornament
and seek rather simple dignity of exter-
nal treatment, reserving as much money
as possible for internal development.
Approval will also attend the course of
the Trustees in looking far into the fu-
ture in providing ample room for extern
sion and development.
Later, we shall probably consider some
Of the details Of the plan at greater
length. For the present, our purpose is
served in congratulatfng h Trustees
upon the beginning which they have made
Of their great work, and the public upon
having the work in the hands of men
capable and SO disinterested.
