EDITORIAL NOTES.
Start a Fire.
If our Borough Fathers want the
tax-payers to enjoy themselves at the
Borough meeting this afternoon, let
not the mistake be made of having no
fire at the century Town House, as
was the case at the last Town Meeting
where all had to sit with hats and mit-
tens on, throughout the proceedings.

"‘ The Baby Dead.
The tenderest sympathies of all. and
especially all bereaved ones, will go
lovingly out to Postmaster Hubbell in
the death of his little one, whose young
life succumbed to tin agonieg of ery:
sipelss.
“The air is full of farewells to the dying.
An mourning for the e8, :

The Greatest of all is Charity.
What dire element can it be in our
fallen natures that give some men grat-
ification and delight, when they can
tear open some painful wound and
make innocent and helpless hearts
bleed? And when this is done in the
hope of catching a few, sordid pennies,
how much baser and more abhorrent
does it become in the estimation of all
noble minds. _

Oh, no. it isn’t the Giznrra, it is
the Last Week’s own figures that the
Guerra quotes. In its “circulation
statement” published in April 1891 it
gives 4532 as the total number of pa-
pers printed in March of that year,
while the gtatement published on Sat-
urday gives 4,069 as the total number
printed last month. ' The falling 011‘ cf
its advertisements is also apparent to
every one. Even the patent medicine
advertisement to “make hens lay,”
for which the Last Week “took what
it could get,” has disappeared from its
columns owing procably to the news
being a week old before it reached the

_ Murder and the Law.“
Is this a law abiding country, as we
sometimes boast ? Statistics gathered
by a. western paper show that there
were 6,792 murders committed in the
United States during 1892. There
were just 107 executions of murderers
by lawful process, and 236 lynchings
during the same year.
This seems to indicate that of every
hundred murderers only five were ade-
quately punished and that, of these
five, only two were punished by the
law, the other three being murdered
by mobs, whose crime was identical
with that of their criminal victims.
.For it must not be forgotten that ev-
ery lynching is a murder and that ev-
ery person taking part in one is a mur-
derer, unjustified by law or anything
else but his own sense of justice or re-
venge or hatred.
It seems to be true that “murder will
out,” for all these murders were discov-
ed. But how much good did that do,
when ninety-five out of every hundred
murderers escaped unhung ?

The Late Gen. Butler.
Gen. Benjamin E. Butler was. a law-
yer, soldier, and politician ; a. greater
lawyer than he was a soldier, and a
greater soldier than he was a politician,
measuring greatness by success, says
the Washington Post, but in force of _ ;
character and intellectual power, in all:
the elements by which distinction is
achieved, one of the truly great men of
the country. .
In his knowledge of law, in his for-
ensic abilities, in his comprehensive
grasp of critical emergencies as shown
by his administrative career at New
Orleans, in the intensity of his hatred
to slavery and trea’ion, in the uncom-
promising directness of his opinions,
in his antagonism-to whatever- he cen-
ceived to be false or fallacious in pub-
lic policy, in the fervor of his patriot
ism, in the depth of his sympathies
with humanity, albeit of somewhat rue.-
ged and uncouth characteristics, he
was always a striking and forceful per-
sonality, for whom the American peo-
ple had great admiration, and whom
but for the peculiar and heterodox
drift of his political beliefs, they would
have delighted to honor with the high-
est honors in their gift.
Unique and original in manner and
methods, independent of will beyond
most men, incapable of pandering to
pOpular clamor, he was nevertheless a
thorough American, a loyal lover of
his country, one of its bravest defend-
ers, and a'citizen whose record will 9.1.
Wiys occupy an honorable place in his.
tory. . .
He may have had faults, but he was
not a man of pretenses.
made mistakes, but the sincerity of his
motives was unimpeachable. He was
true to his principles, true to his gov-
ernment, true to his obligations, true
to his friends. What better epitaph
than this to inscribe upon his memorial
tablet? Probably there was no Gener-
al in the army of whom and with whom
President Lincoln was socially ‘more
fond and free.

Late Saturday night was seen on one
of our most public avenues a. sight to
make angels and men to weep. It was
a. child desperately struggling to lead a
besotted, staggering and constantly
falling father home from the Bridge.
The man would go reeling along a few
rods and then pitch headlong in the
snow. The child would lift him and
help get him on his feet again l0 go
a few rods or steps further when he
would dash down in the snow again.
This was repeated three times in the
view of our informant and in a space
of less than two hundred ‘feet. Could
the party who aided this man to‘ get so
.. helplessly drunk and then sent him
reeling home on such a night have seen
the sufferings of that child, it would
have made a ,Prohibitionist of him; or
if it didn’t it ought to. '

Columblan Postage Stamps.
While the new Columbian postage
- stamps present interesting and appro-
priate historical pictures, they are not
given .in that sequence which would
greatly increase their educational value.
As a correspondent of the New York
Sun points out, by beginning with Col-
umbus’ first idea on the one-cent stamp
and following up the story of his dis-
covery in regular sequence to the five-
dollar stamp, early American history
could be read on the backs of envel-
opes, and the denomination of the
stamp wouldxsuggest as it were the
chapter in the story. This would be of
service to s :hools and kindergartens,
children in their way being indefatig-
able' stamp collectors. The suggestion
is made that a second edition be issued
of these Colombian stamps with the
order, of issue revisedein accordance
With this sequence idea. ’
The interest in these Columbian
stamps has exceeded expectations.
forty years the highest stamp issued by
this. government was a ninety-cent
denomination. Foreign governments

tions in the interest of collectors, but
this is the first issue on the part of this
country. The price, which is. some-
. thing over $16 forthe entire-Columbian
set, is regarded as rather exorbitant. ;
But, .on the part of the government,‘
it has been a. lucky enterprise.' Before
a stamp had‘rleft the press there were
orders amounting » to $200,000 from
stamp collectors abrbad to be filled.
It costs the government but seventeen
cents per thousand to print stamps. .

four-tracked are from New Haven to
Bridgeport, eighteen miles. from Nor-
walk to Portchester, fifteen miles. and
from New Rochelle to Woodlawn J unc-
tion, the work of four-tracking has al-
ready been started. l‘hero are also
four tracks from Norwalk to Black

road company encounters is in gaining

we are trying to monopolize the city.
We have no thought in that direction,
but propose to give' the best service
possible.”

. They Were Mad.
Several passengers were left at the
railroad station yesterday morning,
who intended taking the train to Dan-
bury. On the arrival of the train the
platform was densely covered with
smoke and steam. One man jumped
abOard after the train started and at
the risk of his life. It is stated that
Conductor Smith did not even call out
“All aboard.” Two of the pass-angers
who were left and forced to wait until.
an evening train were very indignant,
and they severely criticise the action
of the conductor. Would it not be well
when the platform and surroundings
are enveloped in a cloud of smoke and
steam, as is often the case, for conduc-
tors to take a little trouble and see if
all are aboard beforegiving the signal
to the engineer to start?

KILLED IN A" SALOON. i
Revengeful Hdngarlans‘ at Elizabeth, N. J..
Make a Fatal Mistake.
ELIZABETH, N. J., Jan. 18.—A man
named Devlin was shot dead in the village
of Woodbridge at 10 o’clock Saturday
night after leaving McGowan’s saloon on
Main street, Where he had been drinking
with several Hungarians. Two New York
sharpers were also in the place and they
had been bleeding the Hungarians out of
some money. A quarrel arose between
the New Yorkers, who came to the village
monthly, and the Hungarians and the
former left the piece a couple of Eminutes
after Devlin. Five pistol shots were heard
bythose inside, who on rushing out found
Devlin lying dead in the road with a bul-
let hele over his heart.
Two Hungarians have been arrested
and one of them named Pettic had a re-
volver. A hex of cartridges was found at
his boarding house. It is believed the re-
,vengeful Hungarians killed Devlin in
. mistake for one of the New York sharps,
who made their escape in the excitement.
Judge Newton committed the prisoners
to the' Middlesex county jail. They
stoutly deny the shooting.
