SHARP COLLOQUY on THE NEW
IDEA IN JERSEY POLITICS.

Boss and q Machine Are in Politics.
YOUNGSTOWN, N. j., Aug. 29.-To settle
in a measure personal differences and mis-
understandings which Senator Everett
Colby Of Essex county and senator Thomas
j. Hillery Of Morris county had during
the last session Of the Legislature and
subsequently, the two lawmakers olashed
on the platform in Lyceum Theatre to-
night in sharp debate. Senator Hillery
sent O letter to the Essex man in May fol-
lowing q meeting in Dover, when the char
acter Of the Assemblyman from Morris
county was attacked, and the sin Of omis-
sion and commission Of the regulars was
held UP before the people.
Senator Hillery challenged Mr.. Colby to
meet him in Morristown. In his letter he
did not accuse Senator Colby of personally
abiding to him, but intimated as much,
But personalities soon entered the CAM
paign. Tonight the theatre was crowded
with politicians from all over the State,
When Senator Hillery stepped upon the
platform he said that he purposed to break
into the debate at any time. This Senator
Colby affirmed was not the original ar
rangement, but he consented to it.
Colby was the first speaker. In opening
his remarks he invited Senator Hillery to

came an arrangement OF the bosses, Dickin-

Hiliory.

Colby.

"A boss is a man in politics with infu-
ence for personal gain" retorted Senator
Colby.
The Morris man seemed somewhat dis
turbed over this and wanted to know II
the Essex man thought he Senator Hillery)
would cell his vote.
NO said Senator Colby, but wouldn't
have asked that question unless you doubt
yourself
This again startled the Morris man, and
started him Off on a defence OF his record
In the Legislature. Nobody could buy
me- remarked Senator Hillery as he struck
violently on his chest, which began to pun
up like a pouter pigeons.
Senator Colby took a back seat for a time,
until his colleague finished on that line, and
then went on arraigning bosses in politics,
and winding I'D with saying that Senator
Hillery was loaning a good name for a rot
tan cause. This he attempted to prove
by citing how the Senator went down to
Trenton with the backing Of the county
boss, Voorhees,.

Brandenburg. But what's the use when

On Monday morning he was down bright

The main item OF loss to B%randenbure

WILLIAM II. MARSHALL DEAD.
An Artist VINO Painted the Portraits Of
Many Famous Americans.

Many Famous Americans.
William Edgar Marshall, the portrait
painter and engraver, who had painted
the portraits Of many famous Americans,
including Lincoln and Grant and Long
fellow, died yesterday morning in his studio
st III Broadv ay Of pneumonia.
Mr.. Marshall was born In New York In
1887. His mother was Charlotte Misploy.
His grandmother was Lady Charlotte
Gordon, daughter OF the Duke Of Gordon
OF Scotland. The boy was appreciated
to A.. B. Durand, the first OF American en-
gravers, as a matchmaker for a term Of
four years, but at the end OF a few months
Durand, becoming aware Of his evident
talent, released him from his apprentice
ship and taught him engraving. A portrait
OF Durand lone by MI. Marshall is in his
studio.
1t is q question whether he exoelled In
portrait painting or engraving. His portrait
Of Lincoln, engraved Immediately after the
assassination Of the President, brought
was a personal friend Of the President.
His engraving Of Longfellow is considered
the best portrait Of the. poet In existence.
His engraving Of Washington Is also well
known. A guest Of his publisher, James
r. t1eluS, also tne puDiSner oi Natndnlal
Hawthorne, he met and became the firm
friend OF Hawthorne, Oliver Wendell Holmes,
Horace Greeley and many others. He painted
the only portrait Of Fields In existence.
He engraved the portraits Of George
Bancroft and j. @. Holland for SeribnerTs,
together with the portrait Of j.. Fenimore
Cooper, whose works he illustrated. He
was only % at the time.
The artists e~ngravings are exhibited at
the Beaux Arts in Paris as examples Of the
finest engravings In the world, an opinion
Endorsed by Dore Dore.
Mr.. Marshall was a personal friend OF
Charles Sumner and Henry Ward Beecher
and painted their portraits at their houses.
Gen. Sherman for the first time In his life
consented to sit for his portrait to this
artist. He came to the studio on Broadway,
buildings where the artists body now lies.
Mr.. Marshall was also q friend Of Gen.
Grant. He knew him when he was Secre-
tary Of War before he became President.
He spent the winter at Grants headquarters
while he was painting his portrait. The
portrait was bought by W. +. Boardman,a
New York banker, and presented to Yale
College, where 1t now H..
His favorite work, however. a an
heroic portrait Of the CHRISTI which is In his
studio. The canvas Is stretched on a frame
7 by 10 feet. II measures Z feet from the
crown Of the head to the tip Of the beard.
The portrait represents the Messiah as
having dark eyes and hair, and as 1t is at
variance with the conventional type Of the
circles. The skin is Of an olive tint. The
tunic Is dark red and the outer garment
green.
In 1900 Mr.. Marshall married Florence
Rogers Harrison Of Toms River, N. j., who
survives him.

in any event capital would ave come to a
country 30 prodigiously fertile, but can it be
doubted that it has come III greater quantity

Therefore It Is our opinion that public
credit would suffer greatly with the failure
Of the Plat amendment, which is one OF
the horns OF our dilemma and 1t would 80
suffer without Cuba gaining anything in
true independence, for all that is evil in that
law would remain in full force.
-The United States would still be able to
intervene whenever 1t suited 1t to do so
We're we then or were we not right in saying
at the beginning OF this article that 1t is i'm
perative that this insurgent movement
Sbe ended at once? Now then. how can it
be quickly ended?
Z THAT is what We are under III obligation
and have perhaps nc right to say. That
must be determined by those Upon whom
rests the tremendous responsibility OF the
present and the no less tremendous respon-
siblliities' Of history. II all are patriotic
and highminded nothing is impossible.
For our part we will only add in passing,
10 avoid any possible misconceptions,
that these ines are not intended to mean
any more than they say and that is that
American intervention frightens us, but
that also we deem that the failure Of the
Platt Amendment would be an evil and
