There was no game at Oakland Park yes

play. The clubs win meet this afternoon,
and as each will present its strongest

Should Jersey City win to-day and
Wilkesbarre lose the clubs will exchange
positions and Powers Pets will once
more lead the Association. A victory or
defeat for Newark will dissolve the tie
between her and Hartford for fourth
place. Success means sole possession of
fourth place for Newark, and defeat will
force her back again to fifth place. If
Jersey City loses and Worcester wins the
former will exchange second for third
place with the latter, while a victory for
Lowell and a defeat for New Haven will
once more put Lowell into sixth place.

The clash between the Scottish-Ameri-
can Athletic Club, of this city, and the
New Jersey Athletic Club, of Bayonne,
over the selection of Saturday, August
81, by both organizations as the date for
their fall carnivals of outdoor sport has
been amicably settled. Consequently the
war Which threatened to break out in the
Amateur Athletic Unions camp n in
yolve other organizations besides the "
Hudson county clubs has no incentive to
feed upon.
This fact will no doubt be greatly de-
plored by the adherents of the N. A. "A. A.
A, who have been trying to fan into a
glow the ~incipient blaze created by the
dispute.
The adjustment of the difficulty gives
both organizations the privilege of holding
their games on the date selected. IN
affair of the New jersey Athletic Club
will take place at Bergen Point several
hours earlier than the time scheduled for
the Scottish-American Athletic Clubs
event to begin at Caledonian Park. Each
organization will assist the other as much
as possible, and both affairs promise to be
successful.
Several officers and prominent members
of the Scottish-American Athletic CLUB
assert that at no time during the trouble
over the date did the club contemplate
withdrawing from the Amateur Athletic
Union, or taking any other action tnat
would result harmfully to the Union.
They wish it distinctly understood that
the Union has no more loyal supporters
than the Scots.

About Boiling Clothes

DR.. Fl. M. Lassing, in an
article in american AnakySt,
says: "The dirt and all
soap must be entirely re-
moved from the interstices
of the clothes, and all mi
crobes must be destroyed.
The only and easiest way to
do this is by heating the
water in which the clothes
are contained to the boiling
point. The boiling water,

The Express yesterday supplemented its
old arguments against the Looney bill by a
new one which it expresses in this Ian
guage:
But would 1t be impossible, under the
method proposed In the law now before the
legislature. for a man to tell whether votes
which he bought had been delivered or not I?
Friends of the secret ballot answer that ques-
tion decidedly in the negative. The Saxtop
bill which has been presented to the New
York legislature provides that the election
inspectors may mark their initials on the
back OF each ballot furnished to voter. The
bill which Mr.. Looney has prepared contains
no such provision. Now the. New York
World is opposed to that clause In the bill on
the ground that 1t would give the Inspectors
an Opportunity TO put distinguishing mark
upon ballot, thus defeating the object OF
tne law. But the Albany Journal. which Is
strongly In favor Of the secret ballot, de-
ciares that II that clause were stricken out

LETTERS ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press.
We confess that 1t was with much sur
prise that we read the report of Mis-. Liver
more's speech before the Woman's Suffrage
Association. From SO distinguished sup
porter of the cause we had expected strong
presentation of the best that could be said in
its favor. "Glittering generalities,' and as
sertions which will scarcely bear examine
ton, may serve to excite enthusi assn in a
public meeting, but will do little to convince
those whose opinions are the result of serious
thought.
We should much:like to know the meaning
Of Mrs. Liyermores somewhat oracular
statement that she Tread all the names"-in
the remonstrance-"and read between the
lines As shs says directly after that she
docs not know one Of the persons whose
names she read" we are anxious to know
what could be discovered ''between the
lines"
Whether women are in general better edu
Gated than men, is question which need not
be debated here. The argument of anti
suffragists is. that for the intelligent use of
the ballot special education is needed,
which woman's circumstances do not af-
ford and which could be gained only at the
expense OF other duties more especially de-
volving upon her.
That the admission of women to the polls
would be followed by the passage of a pro-
hioitory liquor law. will Undoubtedly COM
mend the measure to the Prohibition party,
but scarcely to the large class who believe
the wiser course to lie in the direction of
, high license or local option.

THE DISMISSAL OF THE HALIFAX COL
LECToR.
[St John Gobe.l
The coast service of the United States is
coutinu ally doing--especially In winter time
acts OF courtesy to our vessels. In storms,
when ice bound or caught" in any way, the
United States coast cutters never stop to in
quire whether a vessel needing service is
Canadian or American. Vessels are towed
into port or out of it, as the need is, ana the
only charge Is the actual cost of the coal or
other material used In doing what is needed.
We venture to say that there are many occa-
sions, too, in ports when courteses are ex-
tended by collectors or other officials, to our
vessels, when matters of form are over
looked. and the Canadian coaster is treated
with consideration which may involve tech
nical breach of regulations. at any rate any
one who talks to the masters of coastiDg ves-
sells will often hear of instances of more than
clvilty done sometimes at the expense of
no other reason, weeregret the action of the
government in Diminishing Mr.. Ross, the col
lector at Halifax. The error which he COM
mitted was one which the government itself
might disavow as a precedent. But as we
have before pointed out, it was an error in
the direction of International comfy. Its
commission involved no responsibility upon
the government. But his dismissal for what
he has done will give every petty American
official who may desire it an opportunity for
small retaliation. 1t will add to the I'M
pleasantness already existing in official cir
cies. The only good 1t does is to provide an
office for a tory which has heretofore been
held by a liberal.

1t is difficult to determi ne from the des
patches precisely what the West Virginia
Democrats are up to. But 1t is pretty safe
to assume that they are going to steal the
goyernorship If they can. 1t is admitted
that the returns now show Goff's election,
but what they will show after they have run
the gauntlet of the Democratic returning
board depends very much on what the re
turning board desires to have them show.
Other things being equal no doubt they
would like to have them show the election
OF q Democratic candidate. but there are
some considerations that may make them
hesitate to tamper with them. Meanwhile,
the Senate and House are trying to elect
United States Senator, postponing the count
ing Of the gubernatorial votes until after
this is accomplished. The Democrats control
the legislature on joint ballot and II they
could unite Senator Kenna would be readily
elected. But for some reason he is Getting
with opposition in his own party. Perhaps
his free trade views are distastefu to some
OF his protection constituents

The employment Of convict labor will prob
ably always prove perplexing problem.
Almost every State in the Union has tackled
1t. and no State has yet solved it to the
satisfaction of everybody and probably
never will. The extremists ON one side hold
that the prisoners should be employed in
such work as will prove most profitable tc
the State, without regard to the effect on
free labor. The extremists on the other side
hold that the question Of profit to the State
should not be regarded at all, but the chief
aim should be to set the convicts at some
work that win not compete with free labor.
Indeed some Of them go so far as to contend
that If no such work can be found the
prisoners should live in idleness. Reason
able men have sought for middle ground,
but have not been altogether successful in
finding it. They have tried to introduce a
variety of industries so that the effect of
prison competition on any one in
dustry should be slight. This was
the theory of the law passed by the
last legislature of this State. But its
effect upon the finances of the prison has
been SO unfavorable that strong sentiment
has been created in favor of repeal. The
carriage workers had complained that I'M
der the old system they were compelled to
contribute more than fair share to the sup
lrt of the prison, inasmuch as carriage
mixing was the chief work carried on there
consequently all the competition of the
comet labor was directed against them.
ihesaow claim that If the present law is
repead the former state of things will
soon pisail again. 1t cannot be denied that
tneie Is good deal of force in their COM
plant. 4 the other hand it is not strange
ina. lne neral public is not satisfied with a
system. W. contributes little or nothing
,owalu 'nesupport of the convicts but
leaves 'he puten to be borne by free labor.

There is sometimes a choice between Dem
ocrats. All of them are not so bad as some
of them. The two candidates for United
States senator in New Jersey were Senator
Mcpherson and ex Gov. Leon Albeit. Both
are Democrats. But there was choice be-
tween them. Mcpherson, though not great
senator, has been a very respectable one. His
Democracy was strict enough. but he rose
good way above the rank Of ward politi-
clan. Albeit, on the other hand, is thor
ough demagogue and little else. Strange to
say the New Jersey Democracy, whose In
