INQulRINe ABOUT HORSE NE AT.
Norway and Sweden Asking Abou
Jersey Trims.

The authorities of Sweden and Norway,
through Christopher Raon, the Acting
Consul General in New York, are seek
inc information concerning the horse
meat industry which is carried on at
Kearny. When the health authorities mere
investigated the horse slaughter mousse IN
Kearny some months ago, they were IN
formed that none of the meat was solo
in his country, but it was nearly all
shipped to Norway and Sweden.
Consul General Raon sent a communlca-
ton to the County Board of Health Mon
day asking for the name of the firm or
firms at Christians, Norway, 10 WHICH
the meat is shipped.
Clerk Rooney was directed to OBTAIN the
information and forward 1t to Raon.

The Fight For CliRord's Life.

The fight that has been made to save the
life of Edward Clifford, the murderer OF
SUPERINTENDENT Watson of the West
Shore Railroad, has some remarkable
points of resemblance with the case OF
Mrs. Martha Place.
In both Instances, the motive is a SORT
of hysterical sympathy for the victim OIL
the law, based on grounds wholly irrele-
want to the issue, and subversive of all
effort to punish or prevent Grim
In the case of Clifford, as in that Of
Mrs. Place, there is no dispute as TO tne
guilt of the man. Neither is there any
difference as to the cold-blooded, de-
iiberate brutalftyae of the act. No attempt
has, ct any stage of the proceedings been
made to controvert the fact that Clifford
shot Mr.. Watson, that he did SO out Of a
spirit of revenge, that he did SO inten-
tionally and ~designedly.
The only plea that anyone has to make
for Clifford is tina he is-or wase good
fellow. He was a pleasant companion,
an obliging friend; he was popular-one OF
the boys. The plea for Mrs. Place was
simply that she was a woman. Had she
been a man. not a finger would have been
raised to save her. The very people who
clamored for her respite would have
bounded her to death, just. as they are
bounding Kennedy and Molineux, today.
Similarly. if Clifford had happened to be
a t~aciturn man, less of a "boy," he would
not have a friend in the world, and there
would not be a soul to say that he did not
deserve the fate in store for him.
Obviously, if the administration Of the
law is to be made a matter of trivial SEN
timent, the law is of no use. If a woman
Is to have license to Stay, which men
have not. just because she is a woman;
If a good fellow is to have the right of
numbering his enemies, just because he
is a good fellow, while an ordinary man
must hang for it. the law is an absurdity,
and the sooner we proclaim anarchy, the
sooner will we know where we stand.
It is healthy that the Legislature de-
feated the iniquitous law proposed in
Clifford's interest, yesterday; but it is sad
to see tina so many men could be mus
tered to vote afirmatively upon it.

almost exhausted in nearly every case.

will happen, however. The rain, al
though light, was an encouragement,
and will do much good.
