lions, csndidly confesses that he does
so at the expense and to the injury of
the American consumer.
The Times thinks the fortune Mr..
johnson has wrung out Of the system
should make him callaus of the
truth, go out of business and turn the
whole tf ing over TO republicans, who
are never troubled with any qualms

The Times points out the fact also
that MIR. johnson made another for

The Times thinks that that is very
mean in Mr.. Johnson.
On the contrary, it shows that Mr..
Johnson is made of stuff that patriots
are made Of

THE REAL
ASSASSIN

H The Rev. DR.. Jacob Cooper, Vice Presi-
dent of Rutgers College, yesterday sent
the following letter to the proprietor of
the New York "Journar':-
'.Sir-While the world stands aghast at
the horror recently enacted at Buffalo, it
looks beyond the weak miscreant who
fired the shot at our noble President. 1t
sees in you and those like you, the lead
ers of a reckless press, the forces which
make such an act possible. Behind the
much abused license of printing you have
for years been uttering, both by word
and by picture that which you knew to
be lies of the most damnable blackness,
from the vantage ground of your Cow
ard's) fort. This constant hell broth of
yituperation and lies, spewed out all over
the land, has done it's legitimate work.
1T has melted weak men, like this ig-
norant and fanatical Polish anarchist, to
do deed in which you, the real assassin,
gloat in your immortal soul, but from
which in your craven terror you crouch
like a frightened hare.
.Why don't you, if what you have been
saying for years be true, repeat it now?
If false, why do you not have the manli-
y
about the President and Vice President
were conscious, premeditated lies? All
good men and women in this nation de-
nounce you and your like as THE REAL.
ASSASSIN WHO FIRED THE SHOT.
I denounced you from the pulpit yester-
day and shall do so, supplementing your
own conscience with the testimony that
you, to the full extent of your ability,
are the REAL ASSASSIN OF PRESI-
DENT MCKINLEY.
Garry with yourself, day and night
everywhere, while you curse the earth
with your presence, the consciousness
that every honorable and virtuous man
and woman in our land that has had the
opportunity to know the facts holds you
and your like responsible for this awful
horror, and loathe you, not to the extent
your conduct deserves, but to the reach
of their ability

POLICE, ATTENTION
Kept the BootbIacks From
Making Nuisances of
Themselves.

The bootblacks along Montgomery street
and Exchange place, from Greene street
to the ferry, have pestered pedestrians
for weeks. They shout their trade into
the ears of all and in number of in
stances actually take hold of those who
pass and attempt to push them into
chairs, and compel them to have their
shoes polished The police should put a
stop to the nuisance.
At the corner of Greene and Montgom-
cry streets, in front of the saloon of L.
Klinke, two husky fellows stand, brooms
in hand, crying ''shine'' into the ear of
each man who passes and thrusting the
brooms into his face. They frequently
grasp the arm of possible victim and
detain him until he most positively re-
fuses to have a shine. s.-s-
On the opposite side of the street in
front of the Pennsylvania House a
brawny bootblack uses similar methods.
Two youths who conduct stand in front
of the saloon of Alex. Petrie, next to the
Pennsylvania House try to out do him:

answering the charges of Mrs. Barker,
left Arlington yesterday and will not re-
turn until the latter part of the week At

as to where he has gone was refused.
In the mean time Barker's friends are
busy perfecting arrangements for the
proposed second mass-meeting. A friend
of the clergyman said last night that
Barker's friends could do as hey
pleased. Mr.. Keller would pay no atten-

STARVED BY CHOICE
Halbersen Says His Daugh-
ter Refused to
Eat.

Gustave Halbersen, Of No. As Sussex
street, who was arrested at his home last
Saturday night on charge of falling to
support his family, was released on parole
this morning by Police Justice Hoos in
the First Criminal Court. Halbersen was
arrested because his eighteen-year
daughter, Martha, was found in the house
suffering from lack of food. Neighbors
said that she had been starved and Poor
master Hewitt after investigation had the
father arrested. The girl was removed to
the hospital.
The father this morning told Judge Hoos
that he always supported his family to
the best of his ability, but that the girl
had constantly refused to eat. He said
that about two years ago while employed
in factory, she received a severe shock
and became mentally irresponsible. He
denied that the girl had been given liquor
though the physicians at the City Hos
pital say that there are symptoms OF
alcoholism.
The girls condition this morning was
unchanged She would take nourishment
only when forced to and then only in
small quantities. There is little hope of
her recovering her reason.
The family moved into the house year
ago. They were regarded as somewhat
mysterious persons. Neighbors often
heard screams and were puzzled. Finally
a complaint was lodged with the police
and Saturday night the house was en-
tered. The girl was found in wretched
condition and the father was drunk. The
girl was sent to the City Hospital and
the father was arrested
Mrs Halbersen denied that her hus-
band had failed to support his family
and said that since the girl suffered the
shock she had refused food and refused
to leave the house.

The Democratic states are usually de-
outings of the Robert Davis Association.
They are the only occasion when all
Democrats and section leaders get to-
gether. Usually some sensational sur
prises are sprung. 1t is not believed that
there will be any sensational surprises
sprung tomorrow. The slate has been
generally decided upon, and it is not be-
lieved there will be any important
changes.
Mayor James NJ. Seymour, of Newark,
Hudson Democracy's choice for the GU
bernatorial nomination, will be among the
guests Ex-senator James Smith, who is
opposed to him, has been invited and may
be on the ground.
If politics is discussed it will be mainly
on the subject of the Gubernatorial nomi-
nation. AS to the county slate it looks at
present as though it will be as follows
For State Senator-Robert S. Hudspeth,
denomination.

nation.

ley, of Hoboken, is slated to succeed

contest for the nomination, but Rice will
be renominated. Under the new allotment
Hudson will this year have twelve AS
semblymen. Jersey City will probably get
the additional member.
George T. Smith is slated for the
Mayoralty nomination and Assemblyman
P. Anthony Brock is slated to succeed
President Midlige of the Board of Alder
men. Colonel Robert G. Smith will be re-
nominated as Street and Water Com
