THE JERSEY CITY News is excited because some
body has got away with a street in that mum
cipality. A larger familiarity with Jersey City
methods will force the sprightly young newspaper
to husband its stock of indignation. Somebody
over there would get away with the town if it
were not anchored to the bowels of the earth.
This is from our esteemed contem-
porary, the NeWaak Eoer1ang Netos.
All right, neighbor. Gramercy for
thy courtesy, as they say in Sir Walter
SCOTS novels. But when you find u
stock of Indignation against dishonesty
and jobbery wearing out, then you
may conclude that THE JERSEY CRY
NEWS is soon going to put UP its shut
tiers and retire into private life.

THAT was q bold thing Mr.. Hamil-

member of the last Grand Jury, said
at the county division meeting last
night.
His statement was that nine-tenths

There are twenty members of the

against eighteen of them.

BASEBALL is becoming more of a
profession every year. The League
and Association managers met in diff.
ferent cities yesterday, and in a few
hours settled that most difficult mat
ter, making a schedule of dates when
and where each of the games should
be played. In olden times schedule
committees have sat with closed doors
for days and nights before this most
m~omentous matter could be settled.
In both instances the home clubs, New
York and Brooklyn, are favored by
the dates as is BETTING to a great me-
tropolis, where the patronage accorded
is far in advance of that in any other

What's this before us? Why, it's a copy
of the new Jersey City paper, edited by
James Luby. 1t is NEWS by name and
news by nature, and calculated to make a
quaking among the journalistic dry bones
of the mosquito city of New jersey. The
only thing wrong about it is that 1t is
Democratic. All the same, we welcome it
to our exchange list, and there is no doubt
that we shall frequently commit petty lar
ceny from its columns.-PdteTsoH Call.

1887 entries received to the stakes, which
closed March 1. A Geographic dispatch

large as last year, when 213 entries were
sent, the total list will be nearly equal
to that of 1888.
A falling off was naturally expected be-
cause of the tempting stakes of the New
York Jockey Club, which holds its inau-
gural meeting at Westchester during the
last two weeks in August. The entries
received for it's two-year-old stakes are
phenomenal. The Great Eclipse, to which
$4,000 has been added, has received 212;
the Larchmont, 1853; the Casonaya, lib,
and the White Plains handicap, PA. All
are at three-quarters Of a mile.
For the th~ree-year-old stakes a total of
243 entries has thus far been received,
while the entries for all aged races average
better than those for any other club.

The Club.

The Catholic Club of Jersey City
held a special meeting at their rooms,
corner OF Erie street and Pavonia ave
nue. last evening, to discuss the advis-
ability of Joining with the College
Mates. The Catholic club numbers
about thirty-fve members. The Col
lege Matesa are the alumni Of st. Peters
College. 1t is thought that by merg-
ing both associations into one, interest
will be strengthened, and with the
material united, they will become q
powerful organization among the
Young Catholics Of Jersey City.

The New Cabfnet-A Thoroughly Bad
Beginning.

-
The new President has begun badly.
He has made himself the tool of cor
ruption and bossism. In placing
Blaine at the head of his Cabinet he
has endorsed those political ideas and
methods which are most offensive, not
only to the public at large, but even
to the better elements in his own
party. In making Mr.. Wanamaker
one of his ministers he has accepted a
personal responsibility for the shame
less bribery and corruption which
have been gradually coming to light
as the determining element in the last
election and which have Disguised a
large number Of persons who voted
for Mr.. Harrison.
The course which MI. Harrison has
pursued can hardly be regarded as
surprising. He is a statesman of the
second grade, without the breadth of
intellect or fortitudeof principle neces-
sary to resist the pressure of an I'M
scrupulous party. He was nominated
by the Republican party because he
was not a first-class statesman. The
a all the of reckless
political immortality were exhausted
to secure his election was that his sue
cess meant nothing more nor less than
the accession to Office Of the really
strong and wholly corrupt element of
the party. Harrison was elected sim
ply because Harrison meant Blaine.
The history of the coming admins
tration is easily prognosticated. So far
as Mr.. Harrison is allowed by his mas
tiers to act for himself, it will be insig-
nificant. 1t will be snowy and aggres-
sive, with the daring of unprincipled
recklessness, whenever Mr.. Blaine
places his misguiding hand upon the
tiller.

or might be well for those d~issatis-
fed with the cabinet to read this forci-
BILE inaugural address again says the
New York Press. In other words, if
you do not like what President Har-
rison has done, console yourself with
what he promises to do.

A Surprising Success.

In the last number of THE SUNDAY
MORING NEWS we spoke of the mar
vellous success chat had attended the
initiation of our new enterprise. The
circumstances are such to-day as to
justify US in indulging in a little fur
ther self congratulation. In the arti-
Gle Of Sunday we spoke of the drop in
circulation which had succeeded the
first rush for the paper, resulting from
curiosity. We also expressed the be-
lief that this drop-which was at any
time less than had been anticipated
had already been arrested, and we said
that ON Saturday some indication of a
reaction, even, had been detected.
Today, we are happy to say that the
rise thus foreshadowed, has obviously
set in. The sales of THE JERSEY
Cry NEWS on Monday were in adj
vance of Saturday. We hesitated
then to speak of them, because the
general interest in the Inauguration of
President Harrison might have caused
a temporary increase; but in view of
the fact that we not only held u own
yesterday, but also recorded a small
but marked gain, we feel justified in
= assuming that the steady growth of
i our permanent circulation has begun.
In this speedy triumph owe the
early troubles and annoyances of
newspaper enterprises we feed no.
mail pride. 1t represents a success
which would be hard to account for
in a community well provided with
/ newspapers. We have the less diff
Guilty in understanding it, however,
when we consider the nature of the
field upon which we have entered.
Jersey City is unquestionably the
metropolis of the State of New Jersey
in population, wealth, influence,
power and general enlightenment.
Yet, down to the present time, it has
never been represented by a news
paper built upon the modern plan. A
paper covering all the news of the
city, and of the world at large in a
bright, attractive way, a paper making
honesty it's watchword, and consider
ing only the interests of the people in
shaping its policy, had only to make
its appearance in order to command
the support of all intelligent and
public spirited citizens.
The encouragement which the pub
lie have SO literally extended to us, i'm
poses upon us IN additional obligation
to labor earnestly for their profit. 1t
will be found by those who observe
the progress of this paper, that as a
medium for news it will develop and
Improve from day to day, while the
strong ground that it has taken in be-
half of the peoples rights will never
be departed from in the slightest de-
gree.

THE Procyon Literary Club decided
last evening that it is more wicked
to dance than not to dance! That de-
ponds a good deal upon how you
dance and where you dance, and
whom you dance with and in what
spirit you dance of course. But the
Procyon Club did not probably stop
to go into these refnements. The con
clusion arrived at was doubtless a
mere decision that the affirmative
orators of the club had presented the
case more strongly than the negative
orators had.

Its attendance was depleted by the
growth of St. Johns parish. st.
Johns after a time became so large as
to be unwieldy. Trinity took new
hope of recruiting her ranks from the
overflow but just at that time the
aged rector of st. Paul's, on Duncan
avenue, died, and Rev. Mr.. Brush in
fused young blood and new life into
that declining parish and the over
flow from st. Johns attached itself TO
his church.
Trinity nevertheless managed TO
secure John s. Sutphen and one or
two other prominent supporters OF Ut.
Johns for its vestry, and for a little
season the parish gave promise OF re-
surrection. The church building was
not pitched in a good Episcopal1an
station, however, and its attendance
has gradually fallen away until now,
as reported yesterday, the fight
against adverse fortune has been
abandoned, and the parish is to be
turned over to Bishop Starkey for a
mission field.

THE lukewarm sentiments expressed
by last nights meeting at Union Hill
on the question of dividing Hudson
County, shows once more how thor
oughly the Democratic spirit is i'm
planted in the bosom of the Jersey
man.
Although every one in North Hudson
wants the county divided, the opposi-
ton to allowing Hoboken to become
the county seat, and monopolize the
county Officers is so universal that the
people actually hope that the present
bill will not pass.
The towns want to be recognized.
But they charge Hoboken with
greed.
