ANOTHER ENGLISH VIEW.

The electioneering campaign 10 Ameri-
ca ought to be most interesting to the
English people for historical, political
philosophical aud economic reasons.
The main question at issue is
English free trade against the Continen-
tai system Of protection. The republic Is
on trial Good, conservative government,
under Cleveland, is opposed by the rule
and ruin party of Blaine, whose friends
nominated Harrison, and who would GER
tainly be the Secretary of State under a
Harrison administration. Thus the Amer
lean people are directly involved Ia the
contest through their pockets, which will
DO affected by the tariff, and their future,
which would be seriously influenced by
the restoration to power OF such fire.
brand as Blaine, with his homo rule gym.
pathies and anti-Canadian policy. The
American election Is infinitely moro Inn
portant to Engishmen than their own in
ternal politics just at this juncture, and
they should observe every phase OF the
campaign closely and understandingly.
1t is from this point of view that the CO.
pious dispatches to the Sunday Times are
cabled. The result Of the American
election will help to decide many impor-
tant issues of Great Britain. III London

A riouri.hIng business College.

Among the many educational enter
prises Of This country we know Of none
that has won such substantial recognition
among the people as the young yet -four
ishing institution known as the Stewart
& Hammond Business College. The
growth of this school lie indeed remarka-
BILE. From the catalogue just issued we
learn that the school enrolled 200 students
the first year, gro the second, 1886 the
third, 500 tue fourth and 498 the fifth or
present year. To achieve such success
amidst the Hercest possible opposition
more than mere pretension to superiority
is necessary. 1t takes brains, exceptional
skill. untiring energy and thorough dc.
votion to the work to accomplish such
substantial results, and we are prepared
to bear this emphatic testimony-that the
Stewart 81 Hammond Business College,
of 10 and IL South Greene street, Tren-
ton, possesses exceptional merit and well
deserves the prosperity that Is pou ring 10
upon the institution.
The founder and proprietor OF this
school, Prof. Thomas ]. Stewart, is an
educator of wide aud successful expert
euce, thorough dlsciplinarian, an earn
est, energetic, conscientious worker, and
his associate teachers are men Of sound
scholarship, Of wide experience and of
acknowledged ability, and as natural
consequence the results accomplished are
of the most substantial and gratifying
character No wonder that this you ng
school is the most literally patronized
commercial school In this part of the
country, and that It's graduates command
immediate preferment 10 the business
community. Honest, skillful, conscien.
tious work commands recognition any
where and everywhere. In speaking OF
the large enrolment OF this school, Prof.
Stewart remarks: "We have never per.
mitted ourselves to enroll students by de-
partments and thus count the same stu.
dent two or three times, as Is done by a
sim liar school. With us the same stu.
dent Is counted bat once, and only once.
We have enrolled at least one hundred
students more than any similar school In
this part Of the country, and this fact
speaks well for our school" We have
never seen finer school rooms and better
appointments than this school can boast
Of, and We say to all who wish to acquire
superior business education, attend the

Tint Pennington Umpire.

That Pennington Umpire.
When the game OF base ball was play.
ed in this city week before last, be-
tween the Mutual Club, OF Pennington,
and the Lambertyille Club, the former
club brought along an umpire by the
name of Yard. who appeared to have an
idea that he was playing with and for
his home club. His decisions were 80
one sided and manifestly unfair that
some Of our most staid and respected
townsmen, men who understood the
game, openly denounced him and he was
compelled to withdraw, not however un-
til he had managed to give his club such
send off as to practically ensure them
the game.
In the Hopewell Herald of last week
some fellow, whose imagination greatly
exceeds his veracity, asserts that the
Pennington umpire was surrounded by
crowd who threatened vengeance y
q some drew knives and it looked rs il
they would put their threats into execu-
ton" and that "hoodlums and rowdies
mako up large part Of the population
of the town."
No gentleman would have made such
insulting and false charges against our
people, aud it is not worth while to
handy epithets with fellow who gives
evidence that he lacks all the qualities
that ct one to associate with honorable
people.
The Pennington ball players should
hasten to disown this newspaper Sian.
derer or else share the odinm attaching
to him.
