A Leader Wanted.

The republican majority of the House
wants leader. 1t is becoming quite clear
that Mr.. Mckinley, who has been assigned
to that position by being placed at the head
of the committee on ways and means, Is not
capable of filling it, He is a level-headed
man, and can make good speech, but he is
not quick to take advantage of the OPP
portunities which present themselves in
contests which have a partisan character.
It is said that several times the speaker
has given him the cue as
to the course he should pursue,
and that he has failed to profit by it. He is
too slow for a leader on the floor of the
House. The man vino fills that position
must not only have his wits about him all
the time, but he must know parliamentary
law thoroughly. Mr.. Mckinley does him
self credit whenever he makes set speech,
the points Of which he has studied
thoroughly, but he doesn't shine at all in
comparison with many other members of
the House in q running debate in which
questions requiring prompt answers are
asked all the time.
1t is said that there will be scramble for
the leadership, and that either Burrows,
Cannon, or Henderson is likely to get it.
Mr.. Mckinley may do excellent work in the
committee room, and may advocate the
bills reported by his committee with great
power, but it looks as if some one else
would lead the republicans when they get
into wrangles with the democrats. Already
the democrats have won two or three signal
victories, and the republicans are becoming
alarmed. Their majority is so slender that
unless they are ably led they will not be
much better off than if they were in the
minnr.itv

Senator Allison's chances for succeeding
himself are evidently vanishing. The re-
publican majority in the Iowa legislature
is very small, and there is enough dissatis-
faction with the senator to secure his defeat.
IL is not hoped that a democrat will be
elected, but the republicans who are dissat-
isfied are trying to make an arrangement
with the democrats BY which some other
republican than Mr.. Allison shall be elected.
Mr.. Allison must realize that this is a world
of astounding changes when he reflects that
little more than one year ago he had
strong hopes of being nomine ted for Presi-
dent, and that now he is in danger of losing
his seat in the Senate. His SLOUGH hat and
jeans pantaloons, which he dons every four
years, didn't have the usual effect last fall

A Personal Explanation.

Some gentlemen of this city have
been kind enough to pay Mr.. James
Luby, the editor of this paper, the
compliment of afixing his name to a
circular favoring the new charter.
They have also made him one OF a
committee to raise a fund to forward
the passage of the measure.
While thanking the gentlemen who
have thus honored him, Mr.. Luby begs
to deprecate their action. His partici-
pancy in politics, at least for the pres
ent, is strictly limited to the columns
of this paper.
Mr.. Luby favors the passage of the
charter, because he believes the best
sentiment-the enlightened Demo-
cratic opinion of the city favors it, and
because he thinks it embodies sounder
principles of municipal government
than the system it is designed to re-
place. But MI. Luby finds in the edi-
torial columns of THE JERSEY CITY
News the most suitable medium for
the expression of his views, and he be-
lieves that journalists are apt to de-
stroy their own professional usefulness
when they assume the role of poll
ticians, and this is an error which Mr..
Luby is, above all things, DESTROYS of
avoiding.

Those of white ivory with silver mono

A pretty summer frock just made for
a little girl of three years, was Tussore

hanging from the belt at the left side.
The best dressmakers 7 putting
two strips across the back breadth OF
the foundation of the skirt, one at a
quarter of a yard from the belt, and

small hustle like a bag is sewed in at
the top.
Embroidered gauze is one of the new
fabrics for evening dresses.

A Republican Opportunity.

"A 4ACEltOIACSttl OPROA AA1AtJ
The Republicans are SO anxious lest
the Democratic Governor and the
Democratic Legislature of New Jer-
sey should not be able to manage the
States finances successfully that they
have been introducing bills in the
Legislature to meet the situation at
the rate of n a week for the last two
weeks.
AS each bill was introduced they
declared that they were actuated by
patriotism pure and simple; that they
were not seeking political capital.
This was very praiseworthy on their
part.
If they are really DESTROYS of reliev-
ing the State from the financial
stringency which they have brought
upon it by their extravaganza, they
can prove their sincerity and give
token of their repentance by support
ing Leon Albeit for Governor next
fall.
Governor Albeit has doubled the
income of the State by the Corporation
Taxation law which he pushed
through in 1884. He put the State on
a financial basis so sound that even
the big appropriations cast right and
left by the Republicans cannot seri-
ously disturb it.
If the financial question needs to be
capably handled, Ex-Governor Albeit
seems to be the man to put in charge.

We invite the antagonists Of this measure,
county officials especially, to a full and fair dis

Such Hostility lis Praise,

Our esteemed contemporary, THE JERSEY CRY
NEWS, is not unlike a Coney Island glass of beer.
It is mostly froth. But after THE News has tar
ried long enough in Jersey for its beard to have
grown it will get rid of its New York provincial
fsms and probably settle down to sober journal
ism, taking the Journal for its model-NetcdTk
journal.
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS will never
'tarry" long enough for a beard to
grow on its news, as is the custom of
the Newark journal, MOI will it so far
discard the honesty, which is often
called ''provincialism" by hardened
sinners, as to sell itself to corporations
of more than doubtful regulations.

Charter ana water.

Public Works Commissioner Kern
objects to the New Charter because,
he says, there is water in it.n
If we thought it would advance the
cause of the Swindlecates one iota, we
would be far more bitterly against it
than Mr.. Kern. But in truth we do
not believe that the Charter will make
any serious difference as respects the
water question.
We have heard, and so has Mr..
Kern, doubtless, that the water Swindle,
cate has so fixed things that imme-
diately after the adjournment of the
Legislature a raid will be made ON this
city by the Swindlecates. We are in
formed that the Board of Works will
make a contract, and that-we regret
to say 1.-THE Finance Board will APP.
prove the same.
What have you to say to that, Mr.
Kern?

Everyone Wanted Ii.

THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS was
a great success yesterday. Thirty-two
and one-half columns of advertise
ments crowded its pages. The regular
edition was run off at half past three
o'clock in the morning, and the press
man and his assistants wrapped the
great press in its covering and went to
their homes. At half past four the
newsdealers commenced to come for
their papers. They continued to come
until seven o'clock, when one dealer,
who has a stand dear the City Hall,
rushed in for 1893 more" He got them,
but he took the last one in the Office.
During the day there was a constant
demand at the Office from people who
could not buy copies on the street.
We are modest enough to believe
that a part of the extra demand was
due to the election excitement, but
the increase has been steady ever
since THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS
became an eight page paper, giving
the news of the world as we'll as
that of the city.
That the paper has made a hit is
evidenced by the wonderful increase
in its advertisements. But we in
tend to keep on, and the day is not
far distant when the SUNDAY MORN
ING NEWS will make its appearance
with twelve pages, to show that a
really good paper is appreciated by
the people of Jersey City.
DURING the discussion on the
charter the point was urged that it
would be unwise to invest with the
arge powers contemplated by this
bill a Mayor who had not been chosen
with a special view to their exercise.
A fa~ir-though, perhaps, not wholly
satisfactory reply to this point is the
character of the election we are to
have here tomorrow. The question to
be practically decided by the people,
in their vote On the new charter, is
whether Mayor Cleveland shall be
promoted to the large functions this
bill proposes to repose in his hands.
An affirmative vote will be equivalent
to q vote of confidence in the Mayor.

situation. OF course it is not pleasant
to be put up for an office just to be
knocked down; but the selfishness

bic argument against putting them IN
high places, and, theoretically, is an
argument in favor of the e scheme.
