To TIE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str: The
death Of Congressman lockwood Hoar OF
Massachusetts,. while expected by his friends
for q number OF days, was nevertheless o
shock to them when Ii occurred last night az
the home Of his father. the late Senator George
r. Hoar. in this city.
The son, cut or tn the prime uf~itre. had
before him. apparently. a long public life,
and had already made a strong beginning
at Washington. Not only In Massachusetts
but in New York and other sections OF the
country lockwood Hoar will be missed.
His service as District Attorney In this dis
trict was notable m hat bis aim to have
justice done the rich and poor alike was APP
preciated by the people who we're intimately
acquainted with his service in ONCE. Of
whom the writer was one. NJ. C.

FOrerunnerr,
FROM a speech bv Daniel Webster in the Senate.
Hnrch II. 1888.

FROM a speech bv Daniel Webster in The Senate.
March ~. 1888.
They excite the poor to make war upon the
rich. . They complain OF oppression,
speculation and the pernicious influence OF
accumulated wealth. They cry out loudly
against all banks and corporations and all
the means by which small capitals become
united In order to produce impo tant and
beneficial results. They carry on a mad
hostility against all established institutions.
They would choke up the fountains OF indus
try and dry all it's streams.
In a country of ~unbsunded liberty they
clamor against oppression. In a country
Of perfect equality they would move heaven
and earth against privilege and monopoly.
In a country where property Is more equally
divided than anywhere else they rend the
cir with sgrsrian doctrines. In q country
where the wages of labor are high beyond
any parallel, . they would teach
the laborer that he is an oppressed slave.
Sir, what can such men want7 What do
they mean1 They can want nothing but to
enjoy the fruits of other mems labor. They
can mean nothing but disturbance and dis
order. the diffusion Of corrupt principles and
the destruction Of the moral sentiments and
moral habits Of society.

Not Parallel Cases.

Since the Japanese Government pro-
tested to the United States against the
alleged improper treatment Of its sub
jects by the educational authorities Of
San Francisco an attempt has been made
to draw a parallel between the situation
thus created and that which existed be-
tween the United States and Italy in
1901 and resulting from the lynching Of
four subjects Of the King Of Italy in the
city Of New Orleans. The cases are, in
fact, widely different.
The subjects Of the King Of Italy who
suffered death at the hands Of a mob in
New Orleans on March IA, 1891, we're ac-
cused of completely in the murder Of the
chief Of the city's police, DAVID c. HEN
MESSY, who was shot from ambush on
October Is, 1890. Nineteen men of Ital-
ian birth were arrested charged with the
crime. Nine Of them were brought to
trial in February, 1891. After a month
spent in hearing the evidence a jury
acquitted six Of the accused and dis
agreed as to the guilt Of the other three.
The verdict was brought in on March 10
and caused great dissatisfaction among
the residents of the city. This dissatis-
faction eliminated in the formation Of
the mob which on the following day
went to the Jail and shot eleven of the
prisoners. including the four unnatural
lied Italians.
The victims Of this demonstration had
received the full protection Of the law
UP to the time Of their aoquittal. What
happened after that was entirely illegal,
the work of persons holding no Govern
ment commission and acting in defiance
Of every enactment designed for the
protection Of life and property. The
complaint Of the Italian Government
was not that any law Of the United
States or of the State Of Louisiana oper-
ated unfairly against its subjects, but
that they had not received that protec-
ton to which every person was entitled
under the existing treaties and statutes.
In San Francisco the discrimination
by which subjects Of the Mikado are
restrained from attending white schools
is not the result of mob action or of I'M
official proceedings. The Legislature OF
California has passed'a statute requiring
that all pupils Of Oriental ~parentage
shall be educated in special schools.
The legal school authorities Of San
Francisco in obedience to this statute
established such separate schools. There
is no mob rule, no violation of State
law in this action. The law under which
the school authorities acted may be i'm
polite, unwise or unconstitutional, vio-
lating the supreme law Of the land as
defined in the second section Of Article vi.
Of the Constitution Of the United States.
It's constitutionality will be decided in
the proceedings now in progress in the
Federal courts. Whatever the outcome
Of those proceedings may be, however,
the San Francisco authorities will not be
put in a position resembling in any way
that occupied by the leaders Of the mob
in New Orleans fifteen years ago.

Governor Asked to Name Hayhurst

Governor Stokes was waited upon
at the State House Tuesday by four
teen Republicans of Eambertvile, the
object of the delegation being to pre-
sent to the Governor the name Of
Walter +. Hayhurst of Iambertville
| for appointment as Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas of Hunter
don county. The appointment of a
Judge has been due since April when
the term of Judge John l.. Connect,
of Pennington expired, but has been
delayed by Governor Stokes because,
it is SAID, of the rivalry between
the friends of Connect who want him
reappointed and those of Hayhurst,
who claim that Lambertville is en-
titled to the appointment.
Frank Barkley. the Lambertville
member of the Republican County
Committee, was the principal spokes-
man for the delegation. lie present
ed the claims of Lambertville and
maintained that practically all the
appointments for years had gone to
Pennington. He thought that was
hardly fair aud that the Republicans
of the Lambertville end of the county
should be considered. Several others
spoke also. Governor Stokes assured
them he would act for what he con
sidered the best interests of the peo-
pie
Besides Mr.. Blrkleg the dele cation
included Postmaster James ID. Mae
Kay, Jacob Kline, Newton T.. Slack,
+. +. Lear, Charles A. Slack, John
Reinert, Richard RunkIe. George W.
Gouncilma II. A. q. Smith, Dir. Fretz
George w. Massey, Lambert Reed.
the Rev. Il. J. kulp. pastor Of the
NJ. Church, and j. w. Crook.
Since the term of Judge Connect
expired the county has had to borrow
the services of Judge Schenck, of
Somerset county to preside at the
sessions of the county court.
c. N. Reading, chairman Of the
Republican County Committee, was
at the State House Tuesday, though
he did not go with the delegation.
He said he was in favor of the ap-
pointment of Iiayhurst. He stated
also that Perciva Christie, of High
Bridge, the HunterdOn county mem
Der of the Republican State Commit
tee. was also in favor of Hayhurst.
Notwithstanding the action of the
Lambertvlle Republicans the proba-
| bilities are that Governor Stokes will
renominate former Judge Connect

hees, who is a close personal friend

have any use for Lambertville except
to get votes and taxes out of; and
they have only wasted time in dis

And now we are informed that the
law is changed so that the Freehold

plain it will have to be done IN the
