An expression let drop through this
mornings papers by Rioter-in-Chief Par
sons places the strike in rather a singular
light politically. Parsons attacks Chief
Deyery OF the New York Police, for sup
pressing the riot and disorder by force.
He accuses Devery of acting in the in
terest of Tammany Hall, which he says
is in alliance with the Metropolitan Trac-
ton Company.
This suggests the questions whether
Parsons himself may not be an emissary
Of ssTom'' Plat, and whether the strike
has not been melted in the interest Of the
Republican machine. It is an idea not at
all unlikely to have occurred to the subtle
brain of the great leader that a riot in
New York would place Tammany, as
controlling the police force, in a very
pretty dilemma. Thus if Chief Devery
temporized with the strikers, or failed to
put them down with a strong hand,
Mazet. Moss & Co. would nave rare ma
terial to exploit on the re-opening of
thei seances in a month or so. On the

unpopular with the strikers and their
sympathisers, and there is no telling how
many votes it may cost the Tammany
ticket next fall.

ExCISES CASES FAIL.
Justice Cummere's Decision
Annuls Conviction of
Saloonkeepers.
Especial to ..rhe Jersey city News

Especial to THE Jersey CITY news
TRENTON, July 20, lss9.-The saloon
keepers who stand convicted of selling
liquor on Sunday will be pleased to learn
that they will not be punished by $50
fine or ninety days Imprisonment. as
provided by the Excise Boards ordinance
BY an opinion fled in the New Jersey
Supreme Court here yesterday by JUS
tice Gummere in the case of George Mill
Ter, who was convicted by Recorder
Nowrey some time ago of selling liquor
on Sunday. and sentenced to pay a fine
of $50 and costs or be imprisoned for
ninety days, the action Of the Recorder
was declared invalid. This practically
settles the proceedings had a few days
ago in the case of William Gallagher, who
was prosecuted by Law and Order agents
of Philadelphia, and whose case is now
before the Supreme Cour on certiorari,
and means that the Excise Board Of Cam
den will nave to pass a new ordinance
before any more convictions for illegal
liquor selling can be had.
The decision holds that the Recorder
has jurisdiction to try these cases and
power to impose a fine. The Excise Board
has power to pass ordinances to prosecute
the violators of the liquor law, but can
not impose a greater imprisonment than
ten days, which is the limit fixed by the
city charter. The conviction OF the de-
fendant was upheld as to form, but set
aside because It imposed an alternative
punishment cf $50 fine and costs or ninety
days in the county jail.
announced some time ago by the Supreme
Court the Excise Board of Camden re-
pealed the ordinance in question ard inn
medjately enacted another one fixing ex-
actlv the same penalties. The latter ordi-
nance is now before the court on the same
law questions as the former one
City Counsel Bleakly, of Camden, said
LAST night that this decision invaiidated
the recent convictions of saloon keepers
by the Recorder, but that the accused
saloonkeepers could be proceeded against
Excise Board would no doubt hold an
early meeting and pass an ordinance TO
conform with the decision of the court.

The lamentable violence which is dis
gracing New York and Brooklyn, day
after day, Is due in large measure to the
pernicious influence of the "World'' and
Journal" These two pernicious sheets
LAY acquired great influence with the ig-
norant. the u~nthinking and the vicious,
the three elements to which they appeal.
and they use this influence, not for peace
and order, not for the public good, not
even for the good of the class which sup
ports them, but on the contrary to stir
up riot, bloodshed ana destruction Of
property. in order, no doubt, that the
supply of blood curdling sensation, with
which they fill their columns, may not be
diminished.
The truth of what we say is so univer-
sally recognized that 1t is mentioned
daily, hourly, in conversation. The strike
Is hardly mentioned without the states
ment OF the fact and assent to 1t in reply,
that the two papers which we have named
are responsible for all its worst features.

crime and vice are most lavish1y support

Engineer Said He Would Be No Use
Manned.

John Parker, engineer of a drill engine
in the Lackawanna and Western Rail-
road yards, Hoboken. stopped to take a
drink before he caught a train, after
knocking off work yesterday morning.
The train reached the Watsessing station
at 9.18. Before Parker finished drinking
it started again. Parker ran for the train
and succeeded in grasping the platform
railing. His hands were wet and slipped,
and he fell off. His right hand dropped
across the track and the wheel of the car
passed over it at the wrist. Parker did
not seem to mind the agony he endured,
but thought only of his wife and children.
