Stamping a Lie.

We are happy to endorse thefollow-
ing remarks made editorially in the
Eoenang Journal of yesterday
When a fellow deliberately sets out
to do a job of lying, we rather like to
see him do it up audaciously; but he
should not make his audacity COM
bine stupidity; he should not lie SO
forcibly as to make his audacity of
no value to his lying undertake
ing. This is the mistake of the fell
low who imposed his screed on
the New York Times, the Mug
wulnp organ, yesterday. His chief
purpose was to puff the kicking Demo
Gratis of this county, and he did that
well,enough; but eventually he tried to
abuse and SANDER Jersey City and its
local newspapers, especially the EUen-
ma Journal, and was stupid enough
to tell such stupid lies as these: THE
entire local press of Jersey City is in
the service of the ring"
Each of the three daily papers OF
Jersey City receives a large annual
stipend for publishing the official
proceedings OF the Board of Alder
men,
zone gentleman told the Times re-
porter that he was certain that n OF
the Democratic organs got 10 less
than 800, 900 last year, and was equally
certain that the Republican paper got
| fully as much" t4
These are all bold, but at the same
time very stupid lies, as any intelli-
gent man in Jersey City knows. The
Epening Journal has been the un.
compromising enemy of each and all
1.-THE rings thot have plundered this
city and county, as any reader
of the Journal knows. The
"annual stipendn paid for pub
fishing the ''official reports and adver.
tisements of this city, is the most
meagre and insufficient pay which the
Journal receives for any one of its
columns. 1t is not at all probable
that any democrat or anybody else
ever told the Times correspondent any
such foolish lies as he says was told
him about $40, 900, d. g., the total sun
paid for all the city woak to all the
newspapers, don't reach that amount
| the lie was one of the silliest sort.

He Was the wrong Kind of a Man.

A prominent clGlZen OF F"nllIlpSDurg
went to Newton one day this week,
says the Argus, to attend the fair.
He was met by two fakirs and invited
by them to a room in one of the hotels
to play a game of poker. They sup
posed he was a greenhorn-a dumb
country Irishman or Dutchman (he
looks like either or something in that
line, but they oon learned of their
error.
The trio began putting money in
the pot and the Phillipsburger
caught one of the fakirs stealing
cards, so as to make his hand good
and rake in the whole pile. The
money in the pot increased until the
amount reached about twenty-five
dollars. Then the Phillipsburger
grabbed the pile, poked all the money
in his p~antaloons pocket and ordered
the fakirs to count the cards. The
theft of the cards was exposed and
the big Dutchman refused to give up
the money. Then one of the fakirs
threatened to have the house pulled"
for gambling. wen pull you right
away said the Dutch-IrishInan, at
the same time grabbing the fakir by
the back of the neck and kicking him
down STAIRS Washington Star,

A Great "Uncle Toms Cabin"

A Great "Uncle Toms Cabin"
At Jacobs Hoboken Theatre last
night a new version of the ever popu-
lar American drama, Uncle Toms
Cabin was produced. 1t isprobably
the most elaborate production of this
play that has aver been attempted
every scene being specially painted
from pictures and photographs of the
various localities. A rich Southern
coloring pervades the play, and the
scenes on the Southern Ohlo-Uncle
Toms cabin, exterior and interior; the
negro quarters by night, ice blockade
on the river, ST. Clair's beautiful home
on Lake Pontchartrain, the cotton
fields and Legree's plantation-are all
triumphs of scenic art.
The cast is a very strong one, EN-
bracing Little Carrie Webber as
Topsy, youngest and best of all her
predecessors in the part: Mr.. Harry
Mitchell as Uncle Tom. played by him
at the Boston Museum years ago;
Mr.. J. Winston Murray as Legree,
Harry Webber as Marks, and others
equally prominent in their profession.
The colored element comprises a band
of genuine colored jubilee singers,
1.-THE Black Diamond" quartette,
"Asbury's Serenaders" and wing
dancers and banjo pickers. As a good
production of Uncle Toms Cabin is
always welcome crowded houses may
be safely predicted.

IT is remarkable the way the Re-
publican press receives Leon Abbett's
letter of acceptance. There is no
criticism of its subject matter, no dis
cussion of the principles it lays down.
There is simply personal abuse OF the
writer. This, in the Isl of two or
three papers, notable the Tren-
ton Times, the Elizabeth Journal
and the Paterson Call, -descends to a
level of Billingsgate which passes be-
lief, and which is disgraceful to the
editors but in no way injurious to the
object of the attack.
Only despair could dictate such tao
tics, This outburst of incorporate
rage shows that Mr.. Abbett's letter
has taken the last hope away from
the enemy. Its directness and frank
ness, and the high public spirit that
animated it have filed the Republican
camp with confusion and dismay.

The Reduced Tax Rate Is a Demo

The Reduced Tax Rate Is a Demo-
cratic Achievement.
1t is highly to the credit of the New
Charter officials of the city and of the
Democratic party, which put them n
Office, that the tax rate in their very
first season of incumbency is fixed at
alower figure than it has touched in
many years. 1t was fixed this morn
ing at $28 on the thousand, and we
have no doubt will prove a most well
come surprise to all the taxpayers
wkeshad to pay $780, 80 last year when
winiquitous Kern ring held sway in
City Government.
This occurrence happens at q for
tunate moment to vindicate the De-
mocracy and the charter from the
infamous SANDERS of a Republican
press. With that amazing mendacity
which always indicates despairing
rage, the Republican papers have
been accusing the Democracy OF
passing this charter. We joyously
plead guilty to the charge. Backed
by the entire press, and the entire
respectable opinion of the community,
the Democratic majority of the Legis-
lature framed and enacted this new
charter for what was one of the worst
governed cities in the country.
Never for a moment has there been
reason to regret this act of legislation.
OF course the new administration has
not been perfect; but it has been an
inconceivable improvement on that
which preceded it. 1t has in fact
taken rank among the best civic
governments in the country. Under its
swyy, the streets have been cleaned,
and are now being repaired. Active
measures have been taken for the
building of new school houses. Scan
dals have ceased to be matters of
daily revelation. And now, to crown
all, the tax rate of the city has been
materially reduced.
On the strength of practical reforms
such as these, the Democracy
confidently before the people, and
bids defiance to Republican SANDER
and Republican pretence. 5
WHAT does ''Bin" Kern think of
the reduced tax rate?
How many of his followers will
stick to him in opposition to practical
facts like these?
The Latest Advertising Dodge for
Actresses.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Charles ought
to be supremacy indebted to the in
iured husband who relentlessly pur-
sues them from city to city. There
are numerous stars of the first magni-
tude who would relinquish their dia-
monds in dead earnest if they could
secure in exchange such a novel and
telling advertising agency as a pursu-
ing demon of vengeance.
A husband of this description, be-
sides, is not valuable as an advertise
ment alone. He may also become a
feature of unsurpassed attractiveness
in the show itself. We understand
that Mrs. Charles husband No. i is a
Mexican of homicidal propensities.
Now, if it could be arranged that
he should rise in an orchestra
seat every night, and make a blood
thirsty attack upon his erring spouse,

candidate Grubb,s citizenship.

Candidate Grubb's Citizenship.
Candidate Grubb's resignation as
captain of the First City Troop Of
Philadelphia has just been officially
accepted by the Adjutant General of
Pennsylvania. The resignation went
into effect on September IS, the day
following his nomination for Governor
of New Jersey.
1t t%ranspires that when Grubb was
chosen captain of the Philadelphia
company an objection was raised to
him on the ground of his not being a
citizen of Pennsylvania. The laws OF
that State require an officer of the
National Guard to be a citizen.
Grubb's citizenship in Pennsylvania
was established to the satisfaction of
the State military authorities and he
was granted a commission.
To make his act more emphatic
Grubb subsequently resigned as col
onel of the Sixth Regiment of New
Jersey, thus to all appearances delib-
erately severing the only relations he
had with this State.
Ii at any time since he was commits
stoned a captain in the Pennsylvania
National Guard Candidate Grubb had
signified that he was no longer a citi-
zen of Pennsylvania his commission
would have been annulled. He never
did this until the day after he was
nominated for Governor of New Jer-
sey, when he sent in his resignation.
By holding this commission and obey
ing the orders of the Adjutant Gen
erals office in Pennsylvania he de-
clared himself q citizen of that State
up to September IS and he was a citi-
zen of Pennsylvania, or SO declared
himself, ON the day of his nomination
by the Republican State Convention.
In a case of disputed citizenship the
intention of the voter is taken as fix
ing the residence. Candidate Grubb's
intention, irrespective of his declara-
tions when he took q commission in
Pennsylvania, was plainly to be a cit
izen of Pennsylvania. Had it been
otherwise he would have retained the
~colonelcy of the Sixth Regiment of
New Jersey, which is much the higher
rank, and have resigned the Pennsyl-
vania captaincy. No other motive
save a preference for one State over
another can explain his voluntary
| choice of the inferior position in the
National Guard of Pennsylvania.
1t is serious question whether by
any possible construction of the laws
of this State Candidate Grubb is
| eligible to be elected Governor. His
| chances of election are, however, so
remote that the consideration of the
| point of citizenship car be waived by
Democrats as not of Immediate im-
portance. -NeaDd9k Journal.

WHAT THE EDITORS sA'
Yes. Let Him Speak Out.

Taxation in all its forms, improve
ments in munipal government,
ballot reform, the reformation
of State government in the
direction OF economy, the read
justment of the State funds-these are
a few of the leading topics that Will
require the attention of the next chlef
executive. What are General Grubb's
viewsf No intermediary can salts
factorily interpret his position.
There should be no vestige OF doubt.
Had he served in public place where
he had to deal with subjects OF State
moment it would be q different mat
ter, but he comes to the voter without
a record in civil life, and the voter
wants to know where he stands and
the reasons he has to advance for his
position. \ y \ y Accept
ing the nomination on the floor
of the convention in a speech which
was pardonably excited, there has
been nc opportunity given him-if he
desired any-for such an expression OF
his views as every voter in New Ter
sey wishes from a candidate for this
high office. General Grubb is not a
platform orator, and newspaper inter
views are unsatisfactory in matters OF
this kind. How he car obtain an OPP
portunity to express himself with
proper dignity is a political problem
of no small difficulty. Our columns
i open for him, however, and he is
welcome to such space as he may re-
quire. But whether he honors us
with his declaration of principles, or
whether he chooses some party organ
as his vehicle, speak he should and
must in time.-NeWGTb Sunday eau.
