A Tmt rrter Kcreml. fPka miitimi eurart In rnvsprfllnir the -1 Mtt of LueHter county, in the case of MtakMB aMlnat the FenBiylrania rail & iwd, does m Bpea the ground taken by f Mm IXTXLLiacKCBB at the time in its wHIelwii of the action of our court. Theernref the court here was in re te persalt the jury te decide there was any negligence i by the bmb who was killed, and taMsamiBg that he had shown such aegUcenee because his representatives failed te show that he had net This was a wholly unreasonable rlew of the kw.wfctefc deprived every citizen in JaraiiasMha railroad accldeat of any hepeef redress. The supreme court declares that " the - eemsMm law presumption is that every one does his duty until the contrary is cored, and In the absence of all evi dence efl the subject the presumption is that the decedent, losing his life by a collision while driving ever a railroad, observed the precautions which the law prescribes." That seems se plain that It Is net easy te understand hew an intelli gent opinion could be otherwise. In this case the representatives of the decedent showed that the crossing was at a ptace where the view was obstructed, and that but very few seconds could have elapsed between the time when the train was In view and the occurrence of the collision. The supreme court says that the court below had no right te determine in default of evidence that the de cedent could have seen the train in time te avoid the accident ; which, It is te be presumed, he would have avoided if he could. It was his duty te leek out for the train and te avoid It ; it is te be presumed, in the ab. senee of evidence, that he did leek out for the train, and as he did net avoid it but was killed, the presumption is that he could net avoid it in the time given him te de se. The importance of this decision Is very great. It would be very valuable te all railroad companies te get the actions for damages against them out of the hands of juries ; and in this case it was thought worth while te ask the supreme court te decide that every man injured in an accident did the in jury te himself by his negligence if he or his representatives failed te show that he adopted every precautieu te avoid the accident. The law has done a great deal for the railroad companies in giving their trains the right of way at crossings of the public reads and compelling these who use the ancient highway te leek out for the locomotive. It would be simply Infamous if it went further and required the families of the railroad victims te prove that these Killed did all they should have done, while their lips are stilled In death. The society for the protection of cruelty te animals is doubtless a geed institution, and has perhaps in its own way done much te alleviate the misery vLbth el brutes who might otherwise have suffered severely from neglect. But it has seemed of late that this society is trettins mere than its share of the ) world's goods. It Is but a few days since an eccentric young lady, named Miss WeltOD, who was frozen te death while ascending a mountain in the West, bequeathed the society $200,000, and new another maiden lady, Miss Assig, who always had a weakness for dogs, has committed suicide en the continent and left $20,000 of effects te the society. If these testators could be brought te believe hew much misery in the human these sums of money would alleviate, they might net be be quick te donate it for the care of brutes. If their eyes could beheld the outcasts of a great city lingering with hungry leeks around a soup house, with none te leek after their moral or material welfare, they might feel constrained, while net forgetting the brute, te remember their fellow man. Thbue is considerable wholesome magnetism in the address of the Demo cratic national committee, the major portion of which is printed elsewhere. The warning voice is raised against the frauds perpetrated by Republicans acting under the guise of deputy mar. shals, the successful practice of which enabled the Republicans te save Ohie by a narrow majority. The address distinctly defines the duties of these officials, what manner of men they shall be, and hew far their authority extends in cases where a voter's right of suffrage is in dispute. The address is a very timely one, and is intended te meet the desperate measures contemplated by the Republicans in New Jersey, Indiana and Connecticut. They will find a Demo cracy ferwarned and forearmed. It is unquestionably the sentiment of the country that the Republican party must go,and fraud will net be permitted te vitiate the verdict. We congratulate the Philadelphia Democracy upon the outcome of Its struggle te secure a candidate for the MBtrellershlp. Mr. Hirst showed very geed sense In refusing the nomination that was again tendered him, since there is no doubt that the smoke which has been raised ever him would have greatly weakened him.

They are net geed ; but then they cost little, comparatively ; and what light they give they give constantly ; and they de net blind one with their glare, if it does take a candle sometimes te find them.

The demonstration was oertaiuly oneof the createst that has ever occurred thcre. Speeial trains from all points in the st ite were laden with visitors, ami toward even ing the streets were crowded with thou ands of strangers. Governer Clevelaiid arrived from Albany shortly after d o'clock. He was driven almost imine dlately te the residence of Mr. Edward Halbaeh, jr., whero a private reception was held His host and hostess were assisted by Mrs. General MeOlellau, Alls. Chancellor Runyon, Mrs. Dean Stansbcrry and ether prominent society peeple. Along the route from Albany te Newark Ger. Cleveland was rnade the snbject of cu cu thusiastie receptions by the poeplo. Later in the afternoon Mr. Clevrlaud held a public rcoeptionattho Graud opera house, whero he steed shaking luuds with a Bteady streara of Jerseymen for nearly threo hours. After the reception there were loud calls for a speceb, te which the governor dually responded, govehneh clevtland'saddkkss. Three hearty ebesrt were civeu for Governer Cleveland, and when silenoe was restored the latter said : I am hore te visit the oeunty and state where I was born, in rospenso te the iuvl iuvl tatien of rniny political friends and a num ber of these who, as neighbors, romembtfr my family if they de net me. I de net wih te attempt any false pretonse by declaring that ever sinue the day when, a very small boy, I left the state I have languished in an enforced absonce and longed te trevl again its soil, and yet I may say wit'ieut affeotatien that, though the way of lifu bn led me far from the place of my birth, ths names of Caldwell and Newark aud the memories cennected with these placea are as fresh as ever. 1 have never been dm loyal te my native state, but have evor kept a place warm in my heart for the love I cherish for my birthplace. Ap plauFO I hope, then, that I shall net be regarded as a recreant son, but that I may, without challenge, lay claim te my pUce as a born Jerseyman. Renewed ap plauBQ. If you will grant me this I shall uet be tee modest te assume te shure the pride which you all must feel in the posi tion the state of New Jersey am' th'e county of Essex held in the country to day. New Jersey's history dates beyond the time when our union was formed. Its farm lands exceed in average value per ncre these of any ether state, and it easily leads all the states in a number of import ant industries. When we consider the eity of Newark, we find a municipality ranking as the fourteenth in point of population among all tue oitieR of the land. It leads every city in three important industries. It is second only in another and third in stilt another. Or eoune, all these industries necessitate the existoure of a large laboring population. This force, in my opinion, is a further element of strength and greatuesH in the state. Ne part of the community should be mero interested in a wise and juBt administration of their government ; none should bj better informed as te their needs and rights, and uone should guard mere vigil antly against the smooth pretenses of false friends. Cheers. In common with all ether citizens, they should desire an honest and economical administration of public affairs. It is quite plain, tee, that the paople have a right te demand that no mere money should be taken from them, direct or in directly, for public uses than is necessary for this purpose Cheers. Indeed, the right of the government te exact tribute from the citizen is limited te its actual necessities, and every cent taken from the people beyond that required for their pro pre pro teotion by the government is no better than robbery. We surely must oendemn, then, a Bystem which takes from the pockets of the people millions of dollars net needed for the support of the govern ment, and which tends te the inauguration of corrupt schemes and extravagant ex penditures. Applause. The Democratic party has declared that all taxation shall be limited by the re quirements of an economical government. This is plain and direct, aud it distinctly recognized the value of labor and its right te governmental eare when it further de clared that the uoeessary reduction in tax ation and limitation thereof te the coun try's needs should be effected witbent de priving American labor and without in juring the interests of the laboring pepu latien. At tuis time, wnen tne sunrages of the laboring men are se industriously Bought, they should, by careful inquiry, it seems te me, discover the party pledged te tne protection or their interests and which reoegnizes in their labor something most valuable te the prosperity of the country and primarily entitled te its care and pre tectien. Au intelligent examination will lead them te the exercise of their privi. leges as citizens in furtherance of their interests and the welfare of their country. An unthinking performance of their duty at the ballet box will result in their injury ana eetrayai. Ne party and no candidate can have cause te complain of the free and intelli gent expression of the peohle's will. This expression will be free when uninfluenced by appeals te prejudice of the lonneless erv of danger selfishly raised by a party that seeks the retoutlen of pewar and patronage, and it will be intelligent when based upon ealm deliberation and a full appreciation of the duty of geed citizsnship. Cheers in a government of the people no political party gains te itseu an tne patriotism whieh the country contains. The per petuity of our institutions and the publie welfare surely de net depend upon unchanging party asoendsney, but upon a simple business like administration of the affairs of government and the appreciation ny puolte etucers that they are the people's servants, net their masters. Applause. 10,000 JiEN IN LINE. The prlneipat event of the occasion was the parade of the Cloveland and Hendricks clubs from alt parts of New Jersey, and Dry Goods and Stock Exchange clubs from New Yerk city, whieh were reviewed by Governer Gle aland from the eity hall BtepH. Through some uufertunate mis management the parade did net reach the reviewing stand until after 10 o'clock. There was about 10,000 men in line, in cluding the uuifermed and unuuifermed elubs. As Governer Cleveland turned te leave the stand after the parade the crowd breke down the ropes surrounding it and shouted again for a speeeh. The governor, how ever, after shaking hands with a few, re tired. Mr. Cleveland will leave Newark Tuesday morning for New Yerk city, wnere he Is te review the First and Second divisions of the National Guard of that state. reuTiCAL imir.t's. Mr. James G.

UnnerrsU luleruipil "t Their KlfhU The luUraiiQS Hrpublteii Oriuty Star thai System Ul'arly Riieel. The following address has been raade publie by the national Democratic oeru- mittce : Nr.w Yernc, October 27. Te the poeplo of tne United Btate : There is only one irreat issue luvehcd iu this campaign. lue question is whither this country shall be governed honestly and wisely or corruptly. The election of Grever Cleveland as prceideut and of Themas A. Hendricks as vice president wilt iusure geed gectn ruent. The election of James G. Blaine as president and of Jehn A. Le,?an as vice president will insure bad govern, ment. Mr. Blaine would net be purer as presl dent than he was as spcaker aud member of the Heuse of Representatives. Yeu are burdened with unnecessary ttxes. One huudn.nl millions of money, uet needed te defray proper charges of the gevtrnment, are annually taken from the peeple of the United States aud kept in the treasury. The withdrawal of this vi oimeus amount of meuey from circula tien has hampered yenr commerco, depressed your trade and impoverished j i ur labor, Mr. Blaine aided iu the needless and reckless accumulation of this unnecessary surplus. He is responsible for the mis chief it has occasioned. He cannot be trusted with its disbursement. The methods which he has employed in this aampttgn proves conclusively tint the ad mimsiratieu of the government of the ceuutry eufht net te be placed in his hands. A candidate, oapable of usiug im proper means te inorwase his chances of election te the presidency would net if eleeted, discharge the duties of that office honestly. Mr. Blaine personally supervised the preparations made by his managers for their work in the state electien in Ohie en the Htli of October. It is especially provided by an existing statute of the United states that no man shall be appointed a deputy marshal uule-s he is a qualified voter of the eity, town, county, parish, election district or voting precinct in whieh his duties are te be performed. It is certainly the plain iu tent of the federal law that deputies em em pewered tojexecute the duties of a marshal of the United States should be reputable men, leading decent lives and enjeying the coutldence of the community in which they live. Theto plain previsions of federal law were wholly disregarded in the late Ohie electien. Ruffians nut living in the elec tion districts in whieh they were appointed te act, and net, in many instances, even oitizens of Ohie, were armed by a marshal of the Uuited States under the oye of Mr, Blaine, and were used iu districts te whieh they were appointed, with his knowledge, for the purpose of ebuiniuc maierities bv violence aud fraud. The effect produced by this eutrage has been remarkable. The blew struck by Mr. Blaine at tbe rights of the citizens of Ohie has welded the Democratic party in New Yerk. There is no longer any doubt as te the manner in which the electoral vote of that state will be out. Democrats and Inde pendent Republicans, working hand in hand in the cause of geed government,and resolved te labor with all their might until the end has been achieved, will give in Noveraber nn overwhelming majority for the Cleveland aud Hendricks electors. Mr. Blaine and bis managers, despairing of success in the state of New Yerk, are attempting te carry Indiana, New Jersey and Couneetiont by the discreditable means employed in Ohie en the 14th of October. While they are struggling te accomplish this evil purpose, Ohie, rid of the swarm of vagrant deputy marshals by which it was infested at the October electien, is rallying with the determined purpose te vindicate its geed name. i In Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut men are forewarned, and are ready te meet the issue. They understand that a deputy marshal who was net at the time of his appeiutment a qualified voter of the city, town, oennty, election distriet or voting precinct in which his duties are te be performed is an intruding mercenary, whose claim te authority no eitizen is re quired te respect. They knew also the preciau limits of the authority of every supervisor, marshal or deputy marshal, general or special, at a presidential elec tion Each state, under the previsions of the federal constitution, determines for itself by whom aud in what manner its presi. dential electors shall ba chosen. Ne supervisor of elections, marshal or deputy marshal of the United States has power te interfere in the smallest degree with any person elaiming a right te vote for doctors of president and vlee president of the United States. The functions of these officials nre limited te congressional elections ; and it is time that they should understand that there are will-defined bounds te their powers in such elections even. All citiztns who are entitled te vote in any state for delegates te the Legislature or general Assembly of such state are entitled te vote in the respective cengres. sienal districts of such state for represen tatives in Congress. The power of -determining, upon the day of election, the persons who nre untitled te cast their votes in any election district, or election proetnet of any con gressional district, is invested, primarily and exclusively, in the sUte judges of oleetiou of sueh election distriet or election precinct. Every iubabitant of each election dis trict or precinet in a state who asserts a elaim te the ballet has n right te go, without hinderanee, upon the day of elec tion, bofero tbe judges of his election district or election precinct and make claim te the privilege of a vote. Ne buperviser of election, marshal or deputy marshal of the United States, no state officer, and no human belng be his authority what it may can lawfully pre rent his access te the judges of oleetion for the purpese of making such claim. It Is for these judges of electien te say whether they will accept the ballet from the rran who claims the right te deposit it. The proper and intended office of mar shals aud deputy marshals of the United States nt congressional elections was te protect the voter un his way te the polls te submit te the judges of election his claim te the oleotive franchise, te preserve order while sueh elaim was under consideration, and te secure the arrett of these who were detected in attempting te dopesita fraudulent vote in the ballotbex under tbe care of the judges of election. If such marshals or deputies, having this limited authority, usurp the right te arrest a citizen, who is proceeding peaoefnlly te the polls, they make them, elves In faat judges of election and vio lently take Inte their own hands the deter, mlnatien of the Issue of bueIi election. They are wrongdoers whom the cltlsen may lawfully withstand and resist when he Is thus unlawfully interfered with. The Intorpeslng of cangs of rufllatu, paid out of the public treasury, between the citizens and the ballet box upon the day of any election, and especially upon the day of a presidential cleotlen, Is un. questionably the greatest eutrage which can be perpetrated upon a citizen of the United States. The Democrats and Independent men of Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut, knowing their right and determined te mainUin them, will, by their full and free votes, add the doctoral vete of their states te the already assured oleetoral vete of the great state or New Yerk. Yeu have fully awakened te a sei se et the supreme importance of eoed govern ment. Yeu are putting forth all your power te Beeure it. This committee, placed in a position which enablea and compels It te see the effort of a great popular move ment, ean foreeast the lisue.

According te the mosai mesai cal economy Aaren and tbe Levites had no let in the inheritance. They were te live from the tithes from the worshipers. The missionary en the mouetain and the min isters in the sanctuary are the Levites of today. They have no part or let in the inheritance Whenever they enter the workshop, the factory or the field, they step aside from the Ged appointed office. We send them forth, and, according te the divine order, they must be supported by the fruits of our inheritance. Singing. Hev.
