MUSEUM OR THEATRE.
Apparently Two Managers
Want the Doyle Sa-
loon Site.

The theatrical venture Of Leonard
Grover, Jr., who is credited with the de-
sire to erect a new and elegant theatre
building on the site of Doyle's burned
saloon and adjacent buildings appears to
be yet held in allegiance.
A rumor was current upon the streets
this morning to the effect that a commit
tee of the O,Neill Association had waited
upon the agents of Mrs. Klein, the owner
of the property, and were informed b a
Mrs. Klein was contemplating the erec-
ton or two 4-story brick buildings on tne
site in question, with store room on tns
first door. 1t was said the ONenls q
been promised one of the upper floors;
An agent of Mrs. Klein was seen by a
JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter for connrmar
ton of the rumor. He SAID: Inc
O'Neills were merely told that II two
such buildings were erected, tney snoulo
have one of the floors"
tsThen Mr.. Growers theatrical project
has not yet fallen through" asked the
reporter.
Not altogether replied the agent.
The same gentleman had previously IN
formed the reporter that there was a pros
pect of a new dime museum being erected
in this city.
sIs there anyone negotiating for q lease
OF the property who contemplaIes the
erection Of a museum building?" asked
the reporter.
= can't tell you anything about this
dime museum project" answered the
agent,
.Why?'r asked the reporter.
We'll, a haven't answered the letter OF
the gentleman who wrote me concerning
the MATTER
From this. unless the gentleman was
trying to give the reporter a. steer, it
might be safely inferred that there are
twq theatrical managers who are negoti,
aIIg for the lease OF this same property
that the owners are holding of to
Ike the best bargain possible out Of the
Lawyer Henry Puster, who is inter
sted in the matter of the lease from some
Standpoint, could only say that Mr..
ylGrover had applied for the lease, but the
lease had not vet been signed.

Very Few People Attend Their Sale at
Auction.
Ex-Alderman Lewis K. Wood yesterday
began the sale OF the household furniture
of c. Chatfanjon, who recently committed
suicide at his home, No. 172 South street.
The attendance was small and the bar
gains slow, but what was sold brought
very fair prices. Excepting ex-Judge
Carr, the purchasers were French and
German people, all of whom had known
the mill owner for years. Only the fur
niture in the basement and parlur was
sold, but today if possible Mr.. Wood will
sell the balance in the house. Among
the articles sold yesterday were a velvet
carpet, a parlor suite of eighteen pieces
in plush and silk, q beautiful French
clock in bronze and a number of porce-
lain placques, oil paintings, crayons, etc,
etc. There was u large quantity of kitch-
en- utensils disposed of, and some dining
room furniture also. Today a billiard
table, sideboard and about one hundred
pots of plants, besides hundreds of other
things, will be sold. In the list IS includ-
ed a we'll selected library, which contains
q complete set of Voltaire's works. 1t is
believed that the attendance will be
larger today than yesterday and the bid
ding more lively.

AIr. Randall Has Joined the Presbyterian

From the Philadelphia FTeS&
WARRINGTON. Jan. 21.-An interesting bit OF
gossip anoat concerning he OF Congress
man Randall in becoming member of the PreSbyterian
Church.
1t 10 well known that Mr.. Wanamaker and Mr.. RAN
dali are warm friends. When the Postmaster General
first came to Washington being new public life he
naturally formed close acquaintance with his towns
man whose upright character he understood and ap-
preciated and whose public services despite political
differences he admired Mr.. WanRmaker's warm heart
went tho sick statesman, aud he has been fro
quent caller at Mr. RandaTs modest house Capitol
HILL and has spent hours at his bedside 1t is not
improbable that during some OF these interviews the
conversation OF the PhilRdelphans left subjects OF
public and turned upon their personal expert
and beliefs in religious matters
There at one time n current rumor that Mr. Ran.
dali had leanlnRs toward the Catholic Church. This
report probably occasioned by tho warm interest
he took as Chairman OF the Appropriations Committee
the Of the Providence Hospital In this city and
by tho kindness he always displayed toward the Sisters
who manage that institution.

Major MacIinley,s Tariff Bill.

Our esteemed and most intelligent con-
temporary, the Courier dee Eats Unts, dis
covers that the proteclonists are en-
barrassed by difficulties among themselves
respecting the new tariff bill which Major
MAcKMnKY is 80 energetlcally preparing
We think that our contemporary is mis-
taken in this opinion.
The Republicans will prepare as many
tariff bills as may be necessary, but they
have no intention OF passing any. 1t Is no
part OF their plan to put this historic ques-
ton to rest They want 1t for use in politics.
The able gentlemen who conduct the
affairs Of the Republican party In Washing
ton, intend to keep the tariff question un-
settled, and to make It the main thing In the
election Of 1892. Their purpose agrees won
derfully with that cherished by the free
traders. Meanwhile, the more OF dispute
and disagreement they can show In the
ranks Of their own supporters, the greater
viii be their satisfaction; and the greater the
apparent difficulty Of bringing the Republi-
can elements to agree upon the subject, the
better they will be suited. What they de-
eire Ia q great deal Of action and no go; and
nobody should be deluded by any sham
which may look to the contrary.

3 One OF the privileges Of American citizen
shin is to aspire TO the Office OF President
There is nothing discreditable in the ambi-
ton. There is nothing to be ashamed OF In
q square avowal like this: am a candidate
and intend to use all honorable means to get
myself nominated and elected.
The main purpose Of the Hon. GROVER
CnEvEIAND's life at present is to persuade
the Democratic party, which he led into
disaster and out of power fifteen months
ago, that it cannot do better thirty months
hence than to run him for President again at
the risk OF another defeat.
That Is all right.
But on Wednesday, In an interview intend
ed for general publication, the Hon. GROVER
CLEVELAND confided to the sympathetic and
enthusiastic DR.. MORRISON MUNFoRD OF
Kansas City this statement Of his position
with regard to 1892: ut Is the cause and
not personal considerations that should con-
cern us. lam so Weu situated nosu that If 1
consulted my oiun feelings, 1 ,could prefer to
haue some one else take the lead"
Humbug and dishonesty! Unnecessary
humbug. because there Is nothing discredit-
Vble In the ambition to be President; silly
dishonesty, for the pretended disinclination
to undertake again the cares Of public Office
does not deceive single soul.
There is not an intelligent citizen who
does not know that the Hon. GROVER CLEvE-
LAND is working already to accomplish that
result with all the industry and all the po-
litical sagacity which his fixed purpose has
at command. Every public appearance Of
his, every word spoken within half mile Of
o reporters ears, every letter written with
view to publication, every professional, po-
htical. or social move. Is shaped solely by
that ambition and to that end.
There is not an intelligent citizen Of the
United States to-day. whether he is friendly
or hostile to MIR. CLEvELAND's aspirations
who does not know that the defeated candi-
date of 1888 would give ten years OF his life
or ten times ten pounds of his fat to get
back to the White House In 1898.
