NEW-JERSEY REPUBLICANS.

To win victory the first step is to deserve
victory, and the New-Jersey Republicans have
done so by an enthusiastic and harmonious
conventions a worthy and popular nomination.
and declaration of principles which is thor
oughly sound, strong and manly. Naturally
the conduct OF the last Democratic Legislature
is first reviewed, for it constitutes new de-
parture in the history of the State. Unless the
people see tit to manifest their resentment aI
conduct so corrupt, 50 shameless, and so dan
gerous to popular rights, they may expect 10
have about the worst State government IN inc
whole Union hereafter The explicit approval
of 1.-THE Australian or other like system OF
voting'' properly commits the patty to pfln-
cple rather than to a precise form OF measure
leaving to legislative labor the choice and ad-
iustment of details. The Education, Child La
Dor and Corporate Taxation laws are properly
commended as of Republican origin and de-
serving of hearty support and thorough en-
forcement.
The platform on the temperance question IS
at once singularly courageous and at the same
time practical and sensible. III does not pro-
pose, as some fanatics do, to make no effort LOT
temperance except one which the people will
not sustain, ana winch inuSU lnpItlOIc NC Oli'P'J
and fruitless. 1t does not give good CITIZENS
the alternative: "Our way or no way; take
orr ideas and methods or the saloons shall
rule" The Republicans declare that they are
ready for the most thorough measure that VIII
be sustained by 1ne people. Only ignorance
or mendacity can construe this declaration as
an evasion, for with explicit reference to the
Transcription Act the platform says: 1.-The
Republican party of NewJerS2y stands COM
mitted by its platforms and legislative enact
ments to the most thorough measure that VIII
be sustained by the people" What that meas
ure shall be can best be determined when pro
fessed friends of temperance cease to help the
Democratic party and the saloons.
General Grub, the Republican candidate for
Governor, served his country with high honor
in the field, and was elected State Commander
of the Grand Army in 1888 and he has rem
dered most useful service also as a manufact-
urer and organizer of industry. He is citi-
zen we'll known and popular in two States.
though always resident of New-JerSey, a
cultivated and scholarly man, and an admir-
able standard-bearer and representative of the
better elements and forces in the State which
Democratic usurpatiOn, corruption shameless
craftsmanship and ballot-bcx stuf1ing have al
fronted. Whether he shall prevail over the
candidate Of the brbers, the saloons and the
criminals rests, not with General Grub, but
with all good citizens of New-Jersey.

difficult questions with which the authorities
now have to deal.


The urgent appeals which the newspaper
press of the city with almost entire unanimity
have made to prevent the spoliation of the City
Hail Park resulted in large gathering at the
Mayors office yesterday, and general and
emphatic protest against the plan which the
commissioners in charge of the new municipal
building have temporarily agreed on. The
commissioners, Mayor Grant in particular, APP
peared to admit the force Of the arguments
presented in favor of the preservation of the
park; but they showed special anxiety in re-
gard to securing a satisfactory site elsewhere.
We think they magnify the difficulty that will
arise on this head. However, that is point
to be considered hereafter; the main thing now
is to make sure that the park is not invaded
and virtually destroyed. The wsest thing for
the commission to do, in view of the emphatic
expression of public opinion which has been
made, is to postpone further action on tho
building project until the Legislature has had
another chance to act. One Of the first things
done at Albany next winter should be the
passage of an act repeating the law enacted
last spring, and forbidding the erection of any
building hereafter in the City Hall Park.

failed to take the initiative in their knavisn
schemes, it was merely because the proportion
of brains TO his cunning was less than that
which has distinguished his precious confed-
crate. Well may the jurors have maryelled at
the turpitude of this church member in good
standing"
All this, Of course, does not mitigate the
yillany of Ives il there is truth in any
of WoodIuff's statements, though Woodruif's
testimony is naturally regarded as helping the
defence, and the crafty visage of the youthful
railroad wrecker wreathed itself in smiles as
he watched his associate writhing under the
torture of searching cross-eXamination. AT
the same time, if the facts should corrob crate
Woodruff's most damaging statements, and in
dependent witnesses of trustworthy character
can be found to confirm that portion of his
testimony, its value will not be destroyed by
other perjuries. Ives has an able advocate in
Mr.. Brooke, and Recorder Smyth is showing
no disposition to deny him every just advan-
tage. But the public already knows enough
about his financial juggleIies to be able to re-
ject his friends contention that he has done
nothing which is not done in Wall Street every
day. The genius that enables men to mature
schemes whose untimely collapse tends to such
trials as this is a genius whose extinction would
be boon TO the community; and that in the
present case 1t should be coupled with youth
instead of age and experience is a fact which
Ives may one day deplOre As much as anybody.

country, expressed the opinion that 1t Is en-
tirely unprepared either in military admins
tration. organization, or equipment to resist
invasion from any first-cass military Power
with even an ordinary force, 1t has neither
transports, commSsaiiat, nor an adequate guam
tity of military munitions, and, barring It's IN
exhaustibe population from which TO draw

c;ant which must fall a ready prey to the first
creat Power that attacks IL in earnest" And
speaking Of recent military and naval efforts by
the Chinese Government the same expert wit
ness saws: Scarcely beginning has yet been
made toward putting the country IN position
to resist attack, and absolutely nothing toward
conducting n successful foreign war" That
is tbc actual situation. and it justifies the con-
clusion that no more danger OF military KIN"
is to be apprehended from China than from the
man in the moon. Danger from emma there
is however and a very real and grave danger;
namely. that Of being peacefully oyerrun by
bordes Of thrifty aliens who can always under
hid and. underrve the American workngman;
who come to plant an uncOngenlal ana INFERIOR
civilization. and not to asslmiate ours; ana
whose free admission would in no long time
produce an element of peonage not less de-
moralizinp. corrupting and threatening to Ma
tonal integrity and Christian progress than
was the institution Of slavery whose extinction
cost the country so dearly. Bishop Fowler is
mistaken. The United States, by the Act of
Exclusion. has already prevented the only Chi

SULLIVAN on THE DEMOCRATIC STUMP

SULLIVAN ON THE DEMOCRATIC STUMP.
IL will doubtless occur to Governor Hill and
the other bosses who running the Demo
cratic machine that it would be brilliant idea
to invite John L. Sullivan TO come over from
Boston and take the stump in this State in OPP
position TO incqutabe and oppressive sumptuary
legisation7 Mr.. Sullivan has for many years
been recognized as a powerful champion OF the
ant-sumptuary policy, and Of late he has attested
his disapproval OF it in the most emphatic manner
lie particularly distinguished himself in this field
Of effort on Tuesday last. On that day he may
be said to have made one Of the greatest anti
nequita ble-oppressive- efforts
of his life The effort was made in Boston, partly
at Clark's Hotel and partly at the Adams House.
At Clarls, in particular, the stond-or, more
properly, the stagger-which he took against
sumptuary legislation was nothing if not I'M
equivocal The Boston correspondent of " The
Sun of this city thus reports it:
Sullivan wanted a shave, and a shave he would
have I'm spite of everything lie made his way down
to the barbcr-shOp, slappng people on the hack ana
calling them by the pet names for which he is famous
While waiting his turn he amused himself by insult
Ing everybody I'm the place An eyewitness describes
him as roaring drunk and says that he grabbed hold
OF two men, knocked them together, and showed them
down I'm a chair lie went up to a man In one Oh
the shaving chairs, Nhacheu ono Dls pa" uo"h VI
the top OF his head and shaking his other FIST In the
mans face cried You little bad-hcaded ---
- I'd like to slug you This was pleasant IN tho
extreme but the victim did not for anOhe: dose,
and so quickly fed from the big follows sight sui
livan then whiled away weary minute by cuhhS
and kicking one OF the bootbacki but paid for this
by giving the man a couple Of dollars. In the chair
he demanded that a glass of whisley be Ned him
but he did not get it.
1t is clear from this that Sullivan's practical
protest against such laws as our own Whskey
Governor finds himself unable to approve must
have produced marked impression Ask the
little bald-headed man and the boOthlack.
Mr. Sullivan is understood to entertain Con
grcssional aspirations, and the leading Democratic
NEWSPAPER of Western Newly orl has not hc,tated
TO affirm that he WIS to be preferred to eX-Gov-
crnor Long or Mr.. Lodge as "a representative al
Washington. How, then, can he 90 better, by
vav of having the way for such Career than to
come to the Empire State and assist the Democrats
in the canvass which they will make next month
in the interest of the saloons? BY the terms OF
the call for the Democratic Convention the party
is committed to subserviency to the rum power
Who so fit to champion this pivotal Democratic
issue as the coming Congressman
II is possible that Mr.. Sullivan may decline u
take the stump, prefcrring to work for the cause
in his own way. Heretofore, when he has desired
TO make manifest his adherence of ineqnltaDle aho
oppressive legislation, he has not taken tue stump
lie has taken hack or bar-room'

Health Inspector Morris is convinced as one
result OF the work OF the summer sanitary COPS
of physicians that main cause of the great
mortality among children in this city during the
hot weather is the ignorance displayed by mothers
in preparing food for their children and caring for

sensible recommendation that corps Of
trained and properly instructed nurses
should visit rhe tenement-houses at the approach
of hot weather and give instructions on these
points TO ignorant mothers This is a matter that
may well be brought 70 the attention OF the

necessary action before the summer opens

inevitable so soon as Hyppolite proved his SUI

He seems to possess good share of popularity.
and il is hoped that long period of peace will

Tabor for denomination. And still Democratic

Tabor as an official who did not prosecute
until driven into it by the press, and gave as a
reason for not prosecuting that he had no case

ever. it may be that the Democracy of Erie in

reform.
