NEW JERSEY CHURCHES,

Dedication Of a Now Methodist EpiscopaI
Church in H0bakcn.
At the close OF the evening service yesterday the
edlfice which has been in course OF erection nearly
three years In Washington street, between Seventh
ana Eighth streets, consecrated to the service
OF the Lord by Rev. A. L. Brice with appropriate
ceremony. Mr.. Brce is the presiding elder OF the
district and was thus honored because OF the la
borious duties which devoive the bishops Of the
Church and prevent them from attending dedi-
cations. The building Is handsome one
ana reflects credit on the energy and per-
severance Of the members Of this sect,
who have mad more than ordinary difficulties

OF century ago they erected o suitable church on

streets, not having TO purchase the lots on account
OF the square being public one. Here they re-

1t is hard work to keep pace with popular
errors, for truth, although sure footed
steed, is rather slow, while error travels by

Minnesota receives five or ten immigrants
to Wisconsin's one, yet the truth of the mat
ter is on the other side.
We have not the slightest desire to see
Minnesota's prosperity abated, or even mis-
understood. Her gain is ours, and if it were
not yet all right, Minnesota! Settle up as
fast as you can, for you are noble state.
However let the people of Wisconsin under
stand that our state is increasing in popula-
ton with great rapidity, and far in excess
of any other states of the Union, save New
York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois! At least
this is borne out by the foreign immigration
statistics for the port of New York, as given
in that excellent paper Crofattt's Western
World. There arrived at New York in
May, 52,770 immigrants. Below we give

that more than double the number of immi-
grants now pour into our state that are re-
ceived by Minnesota, at least through the
port of New York, and if we maintain any
where near the same ratio at other ports, as
is probable enough, it follows that Wiscon-
sin is growing twice as fast as her much
talked of, and loudly praised sister state.
She is considerably in advance of the great
state of Ohio, and far in advance Of Michi-
gan; her immigration figuring up nearly
one-hoJf as much as that received by the
wonderfully inviting state Of Illinois, which
is the immigrants state par excellence, being
only second to New York. Hence Wiscon-
sin properly takes rate as one of the Empire
States of the Union, and we venture to de-
nominate her the g Empire State of the New

instance of Geo Reed Vice President, f.

POLITICAL ABUSE.

1t is thing to be deprecated that the
heat Of a presidential campaign is so apt to
lead to vilification and personal abuse of the
men who are candidates for the highest
Office in the gift of the people. Every i'll
word leaves it's effect when spoken against
human being. And the President suffers
afterward because of the political slang, and
partizan slander, that was coupled with his
name before election. The people Of Amer
lea are being trained, though gradually yet
surely, to contempt for the chief magistracy
of the nation. And with disrespect for the
Chief Executive must come the spirit of
lawlessness and crime.
If the principles or practices of a party
are wrong, it is far better to assail these
than the mere person who is the party can
didate; whereas if the principles or practice
cannot be assailed, it would. be a foul wrong
to assail the candidate with personal abuse,
to cover up the lack of a just cause Of quar-
rel. In any case and any event, it is a mat
