posed. This was accomplished by a
Democratic newspaper the Journal.
In the exposure some Democrats were
found among its stockholders and the
Republicans were Mortified. There
are plenty Of other trusts whose rob
berry of poor people is just as notorious
as the ice trust and not a democrat
amongst them. There is sugar, and
iron, and coal oil, which touch every
man, woman and child in the United

nothing of the bank trust or the rail

war when this country was about to
get into trouble with England over
the Mason & Slidell affair, advised the
country to end the war it had on hand
before it undertook another, and his
advice was needed. 1t is regretable
that we do not have Lincoln or two

The Republican platform says we
favor honest combinations of money
for one purpose, but denOunce such
combinations when formed for other
purposes. The result is, therefore,
that. all trusts, which contribute gen.

that do not under the dishonest
class.

TO FERRET OUT PLOTTERs
Authorities Will Prosecute
Anarchists if Involved
in Murder.

Especial to ''The Jersey City News"l
ELIZABETH, Aug. 4, 19O0-Governor
Voorhees, was seen yesterday afternoon
in his office hereby a reporter, and he
had something to say about the Anar-
chists question. The Governor said he
had been pestered with queries as to what
he or the State authorities were doing in
the matter.
The authorities, he declared, were not
idle, but to reveal what was being done
at this juneture would only have the
effect of battling the labor of the State
authorities, who propose to capture and
bring to punishment those parties, if any,
who had violated the laws of the State.
The Governor said an investigation OF
a searching character is now being made
by the proper authorities and a report
of their findings would be presented to
him at early date.
On the nature of this report, when
made, would entirely depend what action
if any, would be taken by the State au-
thorities to supplement the work of the
local authorities in the matter.
The Governor does not regard the sit
uation in Paterson to be as serious as II
is pictured in the current stories of the
doings of alleged Anarchists in that
city
The State, however, would be prepared
to deal vigorously and sternly with the
subject when placed in full possession
of the actual facts, if found to be as bad
as alleged.

Mr.. Stages of Baltimore Re-
fuses to Keep His Young
Son.

Two boys, dirty and sorry looking, called
on Chief of Police Murphy last evening
and said they wanted to be sent to their
homes. They gave their names as Grover
c. Stages, fourteen years old, and James
Furnem, seventeen years old, of No. 1,512
Barclay street, Baltimore. Stages said
1--WE left our home short time ago to
see New York. We had but little money,
and we are now penniless. We are dis
gusted with the life we are leading and
wish you would send us home"
Chief Murphy explained to his visitors
that he could not grant their wishes, but
that he would telegraph their relatives if
they thought any assistance could be
given them. The Chief teiegraphed to the
father of the Stages boy, who is w. S.
Stages, business man of Baltimore, that
the boys were here and told him of their
plight. The following telegram was re-
ceived this morning by the Chief

They did not return today to hear the re-
suits of the telegram. If they do return
they will be told that nothing can be done
for them, and that they will have to shift
for themselves.
