A Senator From New jersey

To THE EDITOR OF THB SUN-Sir: The
people OF New Jersey havs q right to ask
what claims a man has who aspires 70 a seat
in the United States Senate. The descend
ants of the old Dutch settlers are Justly
proud OF their State: and when they reflect
thai such men as Theodore Frelin ghuysen
and william L. DAYTON have been their Sem
ators, and compare these men with most OF
the Senators OF the last twenty years, disgust
seems to be the only term that expresses their
mental condition.
Unfortunately. for thirty years New Jersey
has been so under the control Of well known
corporations that. with few exceptions, there
have been no Senators whose intellectual
qualifications have made them at successors
of the two mentioned.
IL may be asked p~ertinently. What qualihca-
tions has John +. Dryden for the position he
seeksP Manifestly none. except liberal con-
trlbutions for political campaign purposes.
With very few exceptions the press throu gh-
out the State IL silent or openly Drydenized.
This Is particularly the case with newspapers
circulating in the rural districts. They are
kept quiet by Senator Dryden's insurance
advertising.
IL is to be hoped that the State of New
Jersey. by the actions Of Its legislators the
coming winter. will place the seal Of disappro-
baton Upon hypocrisy. y. J. BERGEN.

ton TO that Of their " party. This 10
a growing evil which ought TO be re-
pressed.
While this general subject is under
consideration by the Legislature it would
be well to provide that the space in
which the voter is to place his mark upon
the ballot should be larger than that now
provided, so that the elector will not be
liable to have his vote rejected because
the cross happens to extend outside the
voting space. Indeed, the law should
provide that any error in this respect
should not render the ballot void unless
it clearly appears that the marking was
done to identify the voter.
1t is to be noted that the use Of voting
machines, which has heretofore met
with favor in many Of the smaller cities
OF the State, has declined in popularity
as a result Of the recent election. In
Elmira it is alleged that two OF the ma
chimes which were employed did not cor
rectly record the votes cast for an Assem-
blyman and some minor city officers,
and the Common Council there has
adopted a resolution calling upon the
Mayor to investigate the matter. This
incident has put a damper on the spirit
of those who have heretofore advocated
the machine method Of voting.

Why Does She Hesitate?

Why should ana woman hesitate to
appear in court to bear witness for or
against a person accused of crime? In
a recent case in one of the City Magis-
trates' courts, counsel asked this ques-
ton of the lawyer for the opposition:
How many strumpets can you bring here'"
Can it be possible that any woman
objects to appearing in a court in which
such language is permitted from coun-
sci? Is it conceivable that any woman
would be deferred from appearing as a
witness when she knew in advance that
gross insults might be put on her? Is it
believable that a man who was on the
point Of permitting a woman of his
family to go to court in order that JUS
tice might be done should change his
mind when he learned that the court
allowed its officers to apply shameful
epithets to its witnesses?

The President as a parent understands the
necessity OF punishment at times. and IL Is a
pity that politics or racial animosity, or any
reason, could blind the country to the whole
vital need that authority should remain In
the hands Of the officers. A army where
soldiers dictate to their officers would GER
tainly be useless to any nation. Should these

There Is every possible difference between the
title and rank of an onicer. It is obviously silly to
call a naval constructor. paymaster, surgeon or
civil engineer dmlra because for matters of
salary and precedence they may have for the time
being the rank OF Rear Admiral.
Indeed. the laws and regulations enacted for the
better government OF the navy distinctly specify
the title OF all officers. and positively deny the use
OF line titles by stan onicers; and the Secretary OF
the Navy, In a recent offcial paper. has emphasized
this by saying: The habit Of calling them stan

Little Abe Of Angels Landing.

The little boy celebrated in Elmors

pany) was blown up in a steamboat OK
plosion on the Ohio River when he was
a baby. He was blown to the shore, 200
feet away, and the violent experience made
a cripple OF him. Nobody appeared 10
claim him. 1t was not known what his
name was, so the man who found him called
him Abe, after Abraham Lincoln.
Little Abe had strong powers Of magma
ton. In the front room Of the house where
he lived there were certain family portraits.
One represented a gentle old farmer. II
this inoffensive man could have known
what he was in little Abe's Imagination
he would have been surprised. To Abs
he was an early pirate owning an island full
Of buried gold. He had made a thousand
captives walk the plank. But he only
did this with rich captives. When the
captives were poor he used to fill their
pockets with treasure and let them go.
The subject OF another portrait, a nice
old lady, probably the gentle old farmers
wife, was handsomely transformed by Aba
into a princess who lived in a palace with
a hundred thousand windows, which she

was varied and brilliant, embracing the
entire glory that attaches to the several
callings of a steamboat pilot, a lion tamey,
a calliope player in the employ OF cTcrsI
and a cook on a deep sea spice ship.
Though Abe never came to be any Of thess.
he had fairly satisfying adventures at home.
At the circus he bravely saved a little girl
who was in peril from the attack Of an in
furiated elephant, and no won a piano for
his teacher in the fac Of very determines
and very powerful opposition. He deserved
a reward for the many spirited and generous
things that he did, and the reward befell
and surely was sufficient when his parents
appeared and carried him of TO a wealthy
and happy home.
An eventful and entertaining tale, marked
particularly by a pathetic quality that soma
readers doubtless will not consider TO 10

Mr.. Bryan's Purge OF the Democracy.

There can be no doubt in Mr.. BRYAN's
mind that he is the commander in chief
Of the Democratic party. He issues
general and special orders frequently.
Interfering in Iowa, as he had previ-
ously interfered in Illinois, he insists
that the Hon. CARO- SELLS be the member
Of the Democratic national committee
for that State, though a majority of the
Democratic State committee recon-
mends the Hon. MARTIN j. WADE for
the post. The other day Mr.. BRYAN gave
advice and directions to the Democrats
in Congress. Now he commands that
the Democratic organization be purged
of corporation men and railroad and
corporation attorneys. If any one Of
these unworthy Democrats wants to
stay in politics he must sever his con
nection with the corporations
Such an enforced choice will be a hard
ship not only to eminent Democrats like
Colonel jim GUFFEY and the Hon. DAVID
r. FRANCIS, but to some who are rear
to the business and bosom Of the Peer
less. The pink aurora borealis OF the
Hon. JIM HAM LEWIS must fame no

time Secretary OF the Missouri Health
Society, must devote himself exclusively
to the public good. Even the Hon. MOSES

Thousands OF Democrats must give APP

Democratic powwow. Meanwhile, Mr..
BRYAN, sure OF making money in his
untabooed occupations Of editor, pub
Usher, lecturer, orator and author, will
run the show TO suit himself. His with

Nor is the compulsory self-abnegation

willing to sacrifice one OF the dearest

idolatry:

New York In the United states senat,

WV
CO 1t is gravely announced and ever
seriously discussed that Senator PLATT
: r. disposed to resign, providing that one
, j. SLoAT FAssErr takes his place. Should
PIArr resign while HIGGINS remains in
the Governors chair it is apparently
conceded that TIM WOODRUFF would be
appointed.
The people OF this State have nothing
70 say as to who shall represent them in
the Senate at Washington. Formerly
they expressed their views upon the
subject, and in Difference to their wishes
men OF a certain stamp were sent to
Washington to sit in the Senate OF the
United States and to do honor to the
rhoice of their countrymen. IL is a long,
long time since the people of the State
of New York have been able TO point to
q chair in the Senate at Washington and
say, We sent that man thither and we
are proud of it.
Did the people send PLATT to the
Senate? Did they send DEPEw? Have
they sent any n TO the Senate in a
quarter of a century? Roscoe CoNK-
LING? Not a bit of it; and he, at best,
was only a shallow intellectual impostor
whose memory is negligible. Do the
people care a sixpence who it is that
represents this great State in the Senate?
if they really did care, would the effront-
cry and the moral %insensibility of PLATT
suffice TO enable him to Withstand public
opinion? Would the intellectual anes-
thesia of DEPEw be complete enough to
sustain him?
The public that can contemplate un-
moved the pretensions of a man of WOOD
RUFF's character can tolerate both
DEPEw and PLAT and be unconscious
of it's own shame. As TO FAssETT, his
mediocrity and intellectual insignifi-
rance are his best credentials 70 a puta-
tive responsibility; while we find it i'm
possible to pay him the compliment of
believing that he does not look upon
PLATT's preference as an honor.
Is the man of repute and accomplish
ment, the man Of civic pride and patri-
otto spirit, the gentleman and the scholar,
10 be debarred forever from serving this
people in the Senate of the United States?
Has it finally come TO pass that the seats
of CLINTON and MARCY shall he filed only
by mountebanks and bawds?
