COULD NOT BEAR COMMENT.

IT 7 is significant that the newspapers that have been so clamor
ously supporting Dr. Wilson in the extraordinary course he has
been led into by covert Influences have little or nothing to say
in common upon DR.. Wilson's statement sent from 81. Louis IN reply
10 the formal statement by former Senator Smith. The refusal to
name the man who he had said was his informant in a matter
upon which he based a charge of dupicity, his avoidance OF reply
TO the positive statement that soon after the election he had pro-
nounced the senatorial referendum a farce and had said that the
election of MARITIME for senator would be a disgrace TO the State;
his strangely contradictory statements in reply to the charge that he
had proposed a compromise candidate-these features of Dr. Viii
sons statement evidently We're parayzing 10 his newspaper sup
porters They had looked for something entirely diferent-for
something that was direct. consistent, unequivocal. No wonder
they switched off from the subject and let DR.. Wilson's statement
90 uncommepted upon. 1t could not bear comment.

Courts Dignity Impressive.

CVuTtS DhShhAy
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
I happened to be in one OF the
courts of chancery the other day ana
was greatly impressed with the dig
nity and decorum that pervades It,
I have been in other local courts
where matters of life and death are
at stake where such dignity and de-
corum is a dead-letter.
The one thing that pleased me most
was the way in which the vice-chan-
cellor who happened to be sitting on
the bench protected a witness. He
was the defendant, an aged, unedu-
Gated but highly respectable man.
When counsel on the other side
started in on ''bully-ragging" tactics
in his cross-examinatlon, he was so
sharply reproved thai he gave up that
line Of attack at once. Then came the
usual refuge of the cross-examiner be-
hind a battery of vile insinuations as
to habits of sobriety n integrity.
Again this vice chancellor sharply re-
proved the lawyer, told him that the
witness was unde the protection of
the court and directed him not to
saw one word to reflect on his char
acter unless he had proof to back
it up.
Would that some of the other ourts
would do likewise. LEX.

MISTAKEN CLEMENCY FOR A MURDERER

1TN HE convict in the State prison who made the murderous attack
upon a prisonkeeper yesterday had been one Of the objects
of clemencv of the State Court of PardOns. This man com
mitted a murder in Passaic county, was convicted and sentenced to
undergo capital punishment. The Pardons Court stepped in and
committed his punishment to Imprisonment for life. 1t was an un-
fortunate Judgment. unfortunate indeed for Prison Keeper Turner,
that stepped in to prevent the carrying out of the sentence. 1t is too
often difficult to get a trial jury to agree TO a verdict of homicide,
and consequently not a few dastardly murderers are convicted only
of murder in a minor degree. The circumstances in the trial of this
double murder must have been very strong to impel the trial jury
to its verdict. And yet the Pardons Court could be induced to com
mute his sentence, and with, as it has proved, tragical results,

MRS. EDDY AND RESURRECTION.

eTo HAT Mrs. Mary Baker q. Eddy, now deceased, the founder
of christian Science" will rise from the tomb in the
cerements of the flesh is now proclaimed by Mrs. Augusta
Stetson. her devoted but erring disciple in New York. And with
Mrs. Eddy. declares the disciple, will come Christ and the truth
and the millennium. Then all who see and believe as Mrs. StetsOn
does will be made immortal-they will never die. 1t may be today,
or next week. or twenty years hence. but it is going to happen, and
the APOSTLE expects to be on hand when the great event transpires.
Mrs. Stetson's prediction is certainly better than q prediction of a
world cataelysm to destroy the human race. 1t leaves everybody
feeling comfortable and hoping to have a share of the promised
immortality. But is not the prediction of Mrs. Eddyis resurrection
or reincarnation likely to produce a crop of cranks and charlatans
to claim identity with Mrs. Eddy and impose ON the credulous?

I'D Y the new apportiomment for congressman New Jersey will in

The present membership of the House of Representatives is 1911.
BY advancing The total to 45, representing one to each 211 700 of
population, no State will sustain a loss Of representation, while the
increase will go to States whose growth has been in excess of the
average. The population of New Jersey by the census this year is
1871 1877. Divided by 211 700, the number necessary for a represent
alive, this would give New Jersey twelve members. Essex county
now has two congressman. BY the proposed new apportionment it
can gain no more. The county population is 512y8S6. Divided into
two districts, each will. have 256433 population, an excess in the two
districts of 50, 1876. This large fraction would be necessary for new
districts. and therefore in the redistrcting to be made by the Legis
lature this county, besides having two representatives in Congress,

A commission appointed by the Board
of Aldermen of Morristown to de-
termine the exact age of the city re-
turns a Disappointing verdict. Tentative
plans for a bicentennial celebration had
been made on the understanding that
Morristown sprang into being as a full
fledged settlement In 1710 or III.
After going over all of the records
fairly n impartially, with a full re-
alization of what the result of their
labors might mean to the patriotic citi-
zens of the burg, the members Of the
commission decided that If their city
was founded in Ills it was doing very
well and that the chances were it
might not have existed until a decade
later. Hence the disappointing report.
from which the following paragraph is
taken:
1T is perhaps sufficient for the pres
emf purposes to say hat we are salts
fled there was no settlement here be-
fore Ills, and that the time for a cele-
bration of Morristown's bi-centennial
has not yet come. 1T may well be that
before that time arrives further inves-
tigation may make it possible to fix a
definite date.

Turing nothing ave his feelings, broke
up said throne and placed a brand-new
