OPPOSITION TO THE CENTENNIAL BILL

bh is now before the New Jersey Legislature
providing for the appropriation OF 100000 from
the State Treasury to help along the Centennial
in opposition TO the bill a strong feeling, which
finds voice not only through the leading news
papers OF the State, but In influential citizen
circles. Among the arguments against the Dill IL
one to the effect that the Legislature has
no right to use the peoples money for
any sucn purpose without at least obtaining
their well expressed sanction. 1t ID also urged
that the times are most nauspicious for any such
expenditures that any thinQ OF the sort to embody
real patriotic sentiment ought to spring spontane-
ously from the people by private subscription. The
bill Is 10 be brought up Tor action next week.
Judging from the tone OF Jersey sentiment on the
matter the Legislature will scarcely dare attempt
to be so generously patriotic at the expense OF
their constituents as to give away 100000 OF their
money.

BROOKLYN CITY HALL.

Will IL BE Purchased by tho Federal
Government for . Post once and Court
House.
For some time past the Kings county Congress-
men have been exerting themselves to obtain an
appropriation for the erection OF . government
Post once building in Brooklyn. The subject is
now before the Congressional committee, and the
only drawback appears to be the reluctance OF the
federal Legislature, at present constituted, to
expend the $1,Oo0,0o0 which would be re-
CURED to carry out the proposed design. In
the meantime the Common Council OF Brooklyn
has arrived at the conclusion that the City Hall is
entirely inadequate to meet the requirements OF
the municipal government, being too small by tar
to accommodate the rapidly multiplying ofnces.
a Few weeks Ks ago estimates were made 6y the En-
gineer oil the Board OF City Works, Colonel A. w.
Adams, as to the cost of enargng the Hail. The
engineer made plan for the purpose adding
twenty-five rooms to the building, the cost OF
which would be 100000. This expenditure would
pay LOT Itself In few years, as the city
would save about $4,000 rental which

In another column we publish the
opinion of Vice President Wilson, in which
occurs the following remark:
The result of the election shows that
Republican leaders must be statesmen.
The need of the times is craftsmanship.
With a proper policy, and with the best of
the party at the front, | think, said Mr..
Wilson, that the Republicans can, in two
years, carry every one of the old free States,
and some of the old slave States.
The leading thought of the Vice-Presi-
dent, expressed in the above sentence, CON-
mends itself to every man of the more
intelligent and better class of the COM
munity. No party can be long successful
that does not seek to place its best men in
the lead, nor does it deserve success. This
fundamental idea of securing party strength
and usefulness, has always been advocated
by US. 1t should be rigidly adhered to in
forming the Republican county ticket, and
is as necessary in selecting men to fill minor
offices, as those of national character. A
party which will rigidly adhere to the pol
icy of placing its best men in front, must
eventually commend itself to popular favor,
and permanently retain that favor.

eY Every year the Democrats cuddle
cuffy more. Mr.. Castor, the Democratic
Governor elect of Massachusetts,, received,
the other day. congratulatory telegram
from the " Colored Conservative Democrats
of Arkansas" on the emancipation of Mas
sachusetts from Radical rule. OF course,
this was inspired by these dusky politi-
clans new allies, and the connection may
or may not be of the Little Red Riding
Hood and Wolf class of friendships. The
fact is significant, as showing what keen
relish the Democracy have for the "black
and tan" alliance, so denounced by their
stump orators and country newspapers in
Maryland. The courtship has long since
begun in Cecil, but the sutton considers it
polite to still publicly denounce his coy
mistress.

sSWe noticed that the public school
room in the third story of the Odd Fellows
Hall, was illuminated on Wednesday night
last, and looked very we'll, too. We also
were informed that the teacher requested
her pupils each to contribute three cents
to defray the expense. A public school
house is not a building proper to be illumi-
mated in honor or glorifcation of any polit-
ical party triumph. The public school
is necessarily not a partizan or sectarian
institution, and should be kept pure in
every respect from contributing to party
spirit. Though likely to go unnoticed, or
if noticed to be overlooked, in the present
languid, Indifferent state of party spirit,
such a trespass upon the rigid rules which
should never be relaxed in the strict non
partizan principles which should govern all
that appertains to the public Schools merits
a severe reprimand from the School Board.
Such an act on the part Of teacher in a
time of high political and party excitement,
is liable to create serious disturbance, re-
sultng in permanent injury to a school.
The practice has serious objections and an
evil tendency, though probably will pro-
duce no immediate harm, thanks to the
temper of the times more than to the
discretion, or rather indiscretion, of the
teacher.

WHAT OF THE FUTURE 1.-The question
is whether the tactics Of the two parties
will be reversed as their situation is re-
versed. Will the Republican party lash
its dogs back into the kennel and put its
men in command once more? Will the
worst elements of the Democracy now
come to the front and take the lead? Will
its Fernando Woods, Sam Randalls, Tom
Florences, Noorheeses, and Eldridges, not
to mention the unsatisfied rebel element of
the South, lead it in the next Presidential
campaign? If SO, it has achieved barren
victory. The Republicans are still a major
ity of the country, as they are of Massa.
chusetts, and they can only be dislodged
from the Executive branch of the Govern
ment by extreme folly on their own part,
combined with extreme prudence on the
pirt of their adversaries.

Is Nor THE WORLD MOVING ?-The
experience of one of our townsmen at the
House of Wanamaker & Brown, corner of
Sixth and Market streets, Philadelphia,
under whose eye their great advertisement
had fallen, affords material for paragraph.
Our friend is skeptical of human faith.
He has been so often "hogged,' as he
euphoniously styles it, in business, that his
mind is unsound. Having an errand, how
ever, with one of the clerks in Oak Hall, he
quietly took occasion to look through the
twenty-seven vast apartments, containing
that immense stock to which our advertis-
ing columns call attention. A million dol
Lars tn of goods, cut into the forms that
fashion prescribes, is no every day sight
Our friend examined single specimens
Every garment is labelled, naming in print
the material and the one posittye price.
He exhausted himself trying to beat down
the clerks; not cent did they yield. at

brought away two suits, with signed
Guarantee from the firm, which authorizes
him to return them and get his money back,
if he chooses to do so, within ten days.
He will not choose to do so, if his wife has
any say about it.

HEALTH OF PRESIDING ELDER THoMP-
soN.-Rev. Dr. Thompson, Presiding Elder
of the Wilmington District, who has been
quite ill for some months past, is now slowly
improving and was able to sit up awhile
Tuesday. His physicians now have hopes
of his ultimate recovery. Ever since the
performance of surgical operation upon
him, two or three weeks ago. there has
been an improvement in his health, and the
report which gained publicity through a
city paper, day or two ago, that he was
worse again, is without foundation. The
many friends of the DR.. will be glad to hear
of his improved condition.

THE PRESIDENTS FINANCIAL VIEWS
The statement that the Presidents views
on the financial questions have undergone
a modification since last Spring is denied
on the highest authority. Not only has
the President not changed his opinion, but
he has freely and repeatedly expressed to
all persons who have seen proper to ap,
proach him on the subject the same views
contained in his veto message. 1t is equally
certain that the Secretary of the Treasury
has not expressed any views antagonistic
to the opinions of the President, and his
friends confidently assert that his forth
coming report will urge upon Congress
earliest practical period.

which was suggested by reference to a
recent speech of Governor Dix at

shows there was no discussion whatever
Of the subject. The President said, in
cidentally in private conversation with

did to-day to friendly visitor, that this
agitation was due solely to certain news
