1t was grand farce rather than grand
rally the Prohibition meeting Of last Thurs
day afternoon and evening at the Zion NJ.
E. Church, on Monmouth street. About
thirty people were present at the afternoon
meeting. and, indeed, 60 slim was the au-
dience that the determination to nominate
candidates, member of Congress, State
Senator and Surrogate was dispensed with
till tomorrow week, when it will no doubt
be indefinitely postponed. The principal
attraction-and, Judging from the size of
the audience, that was not much of one
was the announcement that General
Clinton B. Fisk would be present and
make speech. Chairman Quimby' s
notionat both meetings appears to have been
that he had mortgage on all the listeners
ears. The only speaker at the afternoon
meeting was c. John Atkinson, who,
by reason of his great love of the secular
Sunday press, will no doubt read this
article. Several hundred people gathered
at the evening meeting, attracted no doubt
by the gifted divine orators present, in
Guiding the Reverends J. Boyd Brady, OF
Hedding M. E. Church; d. F Bradley,
African M. E. Church's pastor; J. N. Fitz-
gerald, D. D., of Newark; az v ell as by the
presence of delegates from the Jersey City
Reform Club and the Women's Christian
Temperance Union and the Reform Glse
Club in force, led by Mr.. William Vance.
Addresses were made by all the above
gentlemen and one or two others, as well
rs General Fisk, after which collection
was taken up and the meeting was de-
clared adjourned.

The local daily prints represent Assem-
blyman Tumulty, when at a recent evening
gathering he had occasion to refer to the
TATrLHR in connection with its opposition
to the Martin Tax Act, az having referre d
to this paper as "certain local sheet. T"
We have no doubt that Mr.. Tumulty paid
us the compliment Of mentioning the TAT
Tick by Its proper name. Whether he did
or not, he does not seem to have very
thoroughly absorbed the gist of the count
less arguments that were advanced by us
in opposition to the acceptance of the Act
by the people of this city. We did not
urge its oppression OF the poorer tax payer
as the main objection to it. But through
interviews with City Clerk John E. Scott
and with City Collector Loye-two of the
best informed municipal officers in the
State--we showed that the Act can prove
nothing but drawback here. If Mr.. AS
sembly Tumulty is able to answer these
gentlemen, he should do it in the interests
of the community.

LANSING, Mich, Sept. 1S.-The hurri-
cane which swept through Southwestern
Michigan Thursday evening was the most
destructive ever known in the State. Lee
wanne, Clinton, Livingston and Wayne
counties were the chief sufferers, but Sc
rious damage has been reported at other
points. At Brighton barns were blown to
pieces, orchards and crops ruined, and
the new German Lutheran Church blown
from its foundation. In Victor township,
Clinton county, houses and barns were
wrecked, and the hay scattered broadcast.
At Howell the greatest fury was apparent.
Several buildings were literally torn to
pieces, and many badly damaged. The
southwestern part of the town is mostly in
ruins. The cloud rssembled huge wheel
in the western sky and moved with won-
dsrful rapidity.

The Board of Freeholders have done
wisely in submitting to popular judgment
and decision again the question whether
the county shall build a boulevard across
her length. Such an improvement Is
needed to make the city attractive to
settlers who want something else besides
railroad trestles and dirty streets within
reach of their homes. It may be trite TO
say that Jersey City's grswth is impeded
by its want of attractiyeness, but it is none
the less trus because of its triteness; and
the sooner we do something to beautify
and embellish her the better it will be for
her and for those who have interests here.
We want parks, and drives, and rapid tran
sit, and clean-strests, and vistas of shade
trees, and good public buildings. The
handsome houses go where these are. It is
not enough for home to be pleasant on the
inside to the thrifty man. 1t must be
pleasant all around ii. The nearness of
the city to New York ought to bring to US
large part of New York's business popu-
lation but that never will be while the
nisgardly policy of doing as little as the
law allows for the comfort and pleasure of
citizens is adhered to.

doubtless the last issue of the paper under
its present name. Readers of the paper
viii not be surprised il on opening it next
Sunday morning they find its new name,

TIE SUNDAY TArrLER has been marked
journalistic success, and has presented to

tarested them. We shall not tire the read,
ers Of the paper with an enumeration of
the exclusive stories our enterprise and
caro- in covering the local field have
brought to as. Very many of them have
been of moro than mere passing interest,
and notable enough to furnish the daily
papers with something to work on during
ths whole of the week succeeding their
publication. But, as our readers know,
We have not spsnt our energies in hunting
out and working up exclusive stories We
have at all times kept pace with the de-
mand for thorough newspaper, with every
epa Of news carefully prepared,
and every item of interest gathered in. The
change of the name will bring no change
IN the makeup Of the paper, in its news
paper features or in the character of the
material it handles. The change of name
is made in Difference to the wishes of the
large number of readers who do not like
the name which is to-day at the head of
the paper. and to the perhaps larger num-
Der of local newspaper patrons who have
been deferred by its name from even look

THx SUNDAY MORNING News will be what
us readers have always recognized the

We observe that number littleklocal

authority from the State officials to whom
the law .entrusts the designation of the

that they re making the publication on
speculation. Their design is it is said to
apply to the Sta Legislature next winter
for the payment of their bills. The State

cial vigor and satisfaction on that class Of

that there would be no foreclosure and
equally confident that Austin Corbin would

Mr.. Gowen further stated that "when
you take into consideration the value of

mileage, and its other assets-and place its
fixed charges at reasonable figure. such

The only unfortunate circumstance con-
neeted with the presentation to Assembly
man Philip Tumulty, last Wednesday, of .
set of resolutions on behalf of the police
department, is the fact that some other
representative of the department was not
selected to make the presentation than the
man who has charges pending against him
of SO serious import as those made against
Sergeant Cox by woman. These charges,
although Cox made loud professions of his
ability and intention to disprove them at
the time they were made, have as yet been
met only by his simple, unsubstantiated
denial

1t does not surprise us to learn that the
long screed published in the Journal. the
other day, about the abuse of natural
SON by very unnatural mother, is shown
by investigation to have been without the
smallest foundation in fact. The .Jouruol
is what the Newspaper boys call s.faked"

The only nearly reliable department it
supports is that for the publication Of dry.
q, ST reotypedl ports of the pro-
coed ngs of the several local Boards.
These are faithfully reported, because no
amount OF lying nor any exercise of i'm
agination can make them interesting.
When it strikes out into the fsld of ssnsa-
ton its statements may be taken with
very many large grains of allowance. Il
hasn't the judgment 70 pick out the mate
rial that pleases the reading public, or the
enterprise and industry to get it, except
when is thrown at it. So it makes M
for lost time by spinning basslsss yarns of
one kind and another to fill space and
please the Morbid appetite for sensational
ism to which it has steadily ministsrsa. 1t
is not often. however, that it serves up a
dish of lies from place so near hons as
this point on Newark avenue at which
these cruelties are said to have been prac-
ticed. Its policy has bssn heretofore to
instruct its North Hudson man to weave
romances ont Of the whole cloth from
some of the inaccessible villages in that
choice locality, and if necessary to use the
name of Recorder Schleichsr or some ether
amiabls citizen thereabouts who is willing
to be quoted as the authority for bald
falsshood in exchange for the privilege of
seeing his name in print. If the Jsvnsl
wants to be on the safe side it had better
keep on drawing its sensations from the
remote points. They are too easily dis

Charleston needs to be lifted out of the
pit of distress and despair, and there is no
better day on which the true Christian man
can more graciousl, extend his hand to
her than on the Sabbath which was given
by Him who put Charity at the head of all
