Lively Campaign.
The General Committee of the Jeffer-
sonian Labor Party held a meeting last
night at Roche's Hail. William H. Stuhr
presided. Ex-Mayor Timken, Richard j..
Allen and several candidates for Assem-

onne, Union Hill, Bergen, and in the
Fourth and Sixth districts.
The opinion OF Allan l., McDermott on
the printing of the party's official ballots
which was published In THE JERSEY CIT 7
NEWS of yesterday. created considerable
talk which resulted in the appointment
of legal committee to take the matter
in hand. The attitude of the Ring in the
matter received attention, and the Sent1-
ment was that that the Ring was, to say
the least, ratified. inasmuch as the Ring
ster did not seem TO knew whether they
would try to squelch the Jeffersonian
Labor party by legal technicalities or let
it go ahead, all OF which went to show
that the "Old Machine felt the ground
slipping from under it. The committee
decided to carry on the fight under any
and all circumstances on election day.

encouraging, and the battle will be waged
ali along the line. The Finance Commit

thusiastic in their prospects. The com
nittee, at a late hour, adjourned to meet
on Wednesday night, after which the

MIR. BisseI Overrenches Himself in the

MIR. BisseI Overrenches Himself in the
Witterschjne- Dahl Case.
Judge DOUGLASS and a jury tried some
what peculiar case this afternoon. Joseph
Witterschine, who has frequently figured
in one capacity or other in the police and
otner courts of this city, brought suit
against William Dahl, q young furni-
ture dealer, of No. 23 Coles street,
for $3.50, which he claimed he had loaned
Dahl. Witterschine chained that he
loaned Dahl S242 on January 80 last, and
received S62 on account since then.
Dahl claimed that the money was given
him by Wittershtne for the purpose of
going into the bookmaking business at
Gutenberg and Clifton race tracks, and
that he lost it at Clifton.
Mr.. Bissel, who undertook to
defend Dahl put his foot into it very far
when he started to cross examine Witter-
schine. He asked WitterschIne If he
going into the bookmaking business.
Witterschine denied that he had ever
been in the bookmaking business. AS
this point was not brought out on
direct examination, Mr. Bissel had to be
bound by the answer and could not con-
tradict the witness. He was very much
surprised lawyer when. while he was ques-
tioning his client about his booKmaking
connection with Wittersdune, the Court
informed him that he could not contra
dicI his own witness.

IRHLAND'S ENJOYS.
Jersey Citizens Preparing
a Welcome to Dillon
and O'Brien.

A meeting of the Central Branch of the
Land League and large number of in-
vited citizens was held in the areading
room at Taylor's Hotel last night. The
object of the meeting was to make
arrangements to give Messrs. Dill
lon and O'Brien, the Irish pa
triots. hearty welcome when they
arrive In this country, and to have them
present at great demonstration to aid
the sufferers in the ever Green Isle.
Among those present were Edward r
Mcdonald, Colonel p. +. Wanser, Michael
Mu1lone, John Edelstein. James F. Gan
non, James +. Minturn, John T. Kelly.
John H. McGrath, James Luby,
Gustave Metzler, James H. O'Neill,
Patrick McArdle. Patrick Govern,
p. ]. Condor, James E. Kelly and E. T.
Mclaughlin. Ex-Mayor Peter McGavisk,
Of Hoboken, presided, and John Hart
ofHciated as secretary.
Mr.. Hart read letters of regret from E.
K. Stanton, r. 5. Hudspeth, p. H. Law
erty, John McEnnerey, General William
r. Albeit, Lawrence Pagan. William D.
Edwards, p. 4. Dugans George B; Field
Dennis Reardon, the Rev. John L. Scud-
der, Father Patrick Corrigan and Con-
gresham William McAdoo.
Senator Mcdonald suggested that a
committee be appointed by the chairman
to greet Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien. and
present them with an appropriate address
as soon as they arrive, and to request
them to fix as early date as possible to
visit Jersey City. He did not believe in
hiring steamer TO go down the bay
for he believed the money could be
used to greater advantage by sending it
to Ireland. Mr.. Mullone agreed with Mr.
Mcdonald, but Counsellor Minturn
thought it would be better to have the
demonstration take place after Dillon and
O'Brien had made a trip over the coun-
try. This Mr.. Metzler objected to-; he
believed in striking while the iron was
hot.
State delegate, NJ. B. Holmes. said that
Dillon and O'Brien would arrange their
meetings so that none would take place
until after election. The first meeting
will take place in Philadelphia Novem-
her 6, the next in New York, November
10, and he hoped the third would be held
here on November H.
After some pleasant discussion mo-
tion prevailed that the chairman should
appoint committee of eighteen, which
would include the chairman, secretary
and John Kenny, who against his wishes
had been elected treasurer, to make all
arrangements for the reception and dem
onstration. The meeting then adjourned
sdbject to the call OF the chair.

OF Prosecutor Winfild, who said
lt will injure the Democratic tickets
chances"
The Germans in the county are loud in
their dcnunciation of the Ring, who
claim to be the Democratic party in the
county. They say, when the conyen-
tion met we had no recognition what
ever. We poll thirty per cent. of the vote
i'll the county, and on the regu-
lar Democratic ticket there are but
three German names, and they are only
for Assembly AL The balance of the
names are Irish. They are Mes or 'O's.'
The Germans believe they have right to
one name on the county ticket. and for
that reason joined the Jeffersonian party
to nominate Timpkin, whose public ca
reer is excellent. If they do not get a
fair chance to run him as a candidate
they will support Wanser, who is of Ger
man extraction
County Clerk Mclaughlin has decided
that the protests filed against the Jeffer-
sonian-Labor candidates are valid, and
that the certificates of nomination issued
TO them are void. He will at once pre-
pare the official ballots and send them to
the printer without the Jeffersonian
ticket

the Chinese must find room for them
selves. China is no longer shut; China
is open; and China's only grievance may
be that the world. in its turn, may build
an anti-Chinese legal wall against the
entrance Of her innumerable industrial
armies. The world does not know much
about China yet; it will soon, however
make more of her acquaintance She has
been hidden in the night of exclusion.
oriental sleep, and mental stagnation;
she is emerging into the daylight of
progress, ana toward an activity such as
the modern world has never seen, China
has been ignorantly despised; but China
is worthy of all respect, if
not of the greatest OF admiration
She is quickly throwing off the
clogs to her progress, and is rapidly
coming up with the open world IN the
race OF life, with advantages in her fuvor
that cannot we'll be surpassed. The man
who can run for few minutes in short
race aud make very fast time Is not equal
to him who can run all day; the Chinese
are all day runners. They who compete
with them viii need TO rise early and sit
up late. China has untiring Industrial
ability, unsurpassed staying powers and
a degree of patience which no other ma

Consideration for Others.

There are many ways in which we can
annoy our friends MISUNDERSTANDING to
do so. A few of these are easily s6ated:-
Never call upon people out of season-in
business hours. Idle persons are apt to
have too little consideration for those
who are busy. Call upon business peo-
pie on business in business hours, not
for long. frsendly chat on matters and
things i'll general. Call upon your neigh
bors in their homes at such hours as thay
will be prepared to receive you, and not
before they are downstairs in the morn
ing. or while they are at diuner, or just
as tney are going to bed. Never stop
people upon the street if they appear to
be in q hurry, and button-hole them for
ten or twenty minutes Neither is 1t good
taste, when you see two persons engaged
in earnest talk. to step in and enter upon
miscellaneous conversation. A mans or
dinary instincts ought to know at once
when his company is desired, and when
it is nuisance. 1t is also q great inn
pertinence TO strike in with something
entirely foreign to the subject when one
is in the midst of a story, or a statement,
or an argument, and to persist in talking
about This, that and everything to one
who is trying to read the morning paper,
or book. or anything else. Whenever a
man is SO absorbed that he does not care
to reply to what you say, il is time to
stop talking. There are a legion Of other
aunoyances equally trying carelessness
in keeping appointments, keeping other
people waiting your own conyenience,
or the lecture, and always ia creaklng
boots; delay in answering important let
tiers; borrowing new books from thA
owner before he has had time to read
them, and returning the same at 4 l&te
date, perhaps never.

Rivers at Tremley and in the flats of the
Raritan, where big fish are caught as
they are in Princes Bay, in the sub
merged grass at high tide. This kind of
fishing Is done without sinker and a
young eel is the best bait in the world.
There is splendid striped bass fishing just
now in the East River at He'll Gate, and
on Sundays all of the accessible boats are
out.

Lake and the surrounding property
owned by the Thomas Iron Company is
sbout to be sold. This time it is said that

been spending the summer in Warwick,
is to be the purchaser.
A young man named Hallock few
days ago caught in the pond at New Mar
ket German carp weighing fifteen
pounds, another that weighed nine
pounds aud six pound bass. That same
night Fed Pangborn and William Roam

settled upon what he will do next year.
He will superintend the ice cutting at

a house there next year or may return TO
Greenwood Lake and fit up another hotel.
The west side of the lake is TO undergo a
great change, with the idea of making it
