GENERAL GRUBB'S BRIDE.
From ne 1rue American.

When General Grub talked about
a System that permits any to use the
patronage of the State in such a way
as to suppress or hamper the freedom
of the press" he unquestionably re-
ferred to the action of Comptroller
Anderson, who refused the laws to
the Jersey City Journal to give them
to an obscure paper in Bayonne, and
who has left out important Republi-
can newspapers like the West Jersey
Press and Mount Holly Mirror, in
order to give the patronage O personal
form and make himself solid with
some Senator or member of the
Legislature. Nobody can rightfully
accuse Democratic Governors of doing
this sort of business, because the facts
do not warrant it. 1t is true that
Governor Albeit did not name the
Paterson Labor Standard, but it is
also true that there is no reason why
he should have done so. The STAN
ddgd has always been the 'laborn an
mex of the Hobart and Phelps man
agement, and if anybody vas inter
ested in keeping the paper alive on
public patronage it was the Comp
troller, who had it ION his list but
gave it the cold dump, in order to
serve some more influential sheet that
could only be secured in that way.
The Republican managers know the
Standard too we'll to waste much am
munition on it, so far ahead of cleo

The Paris Sale de Parfumerie.

The Paris Sale de Parfumer
The sweetest corner in all Europe
just now is probably the sale de par
fumerie at the Paris exhibition,
sweetest at any rate to the sense of
smell. It is really worth the while to
sit down on one of the comfortable
rattan divans here for half an hour
and give ones nose a treat.
The atmosphere is full of choice per-
fumes. Al score or more of French,
German and oriental perfumers have
their exhibits aggregated in this
corner, and are busy advertising
themselves by filling the air with sam
Piles of their sweet scented weres.
Pretty French girls in cool muslins,
boys in odd uniforms, and hours
from the East stand by the display
cases and spray the prssers-by wit
violet, heliotrope, frangapani, mas
cote bouquet. and a dozen other
known and unknown perfumes.
Ladies in passing hold up their
haudkerchiefs, or their gloved hands,
or their faces, or even stand quietly
by and are sprayed from head to
foot, to suit their fancy. Some peo-
pie, not content with a single spray
bath, remain and take half a dozen Of
different perfumes in succession, and
then walk on through neighboring
sales, giving off FRAGRANT odors on all
sides.
Hard by the spraying girls, two
marble fountains drip pungent but
delicious eat de Cologne from out the
jaws of marble lions. A possession of
laughing people passes them, each
holding his or her handkerchief b.
meath the lions mouth for a moment,
and SO strong is the magic water that

weeps, and wipes it's fearful eyes.

The pencils are concrete or Solidi-

Some Things Never in Fashion.


There are some things that are new
er in fashion, although the enterpris-
ing shopman may fill his windows
with them. One is green gloves. If
one green glove can be worse than
another it is that kind with V shaped
sections of white kid set in them.
These never were and never will be
fashionable, and do not let anybody
induce you to spend your money on
them.
Then while scarlet crepe bonnets
and scarlet trimmings are in good
taste leave all red hats, especially the
large ones, to the people in the nur-
sery. Arrange your red coloring in
some other way and do not have it all
in a hat. La Mode never approves of
them.
Then do not believe that blacks,
grays and browns are to be forgotten
for some odd shade of green, pink or
blue; the first are always in good
taste. Peculiar tints are eve to be
desired unless one has q wardrobe in
which gowns are very numerous.
Do not be persuaded into buying
anything. Think out before you
start what you want, and endeavor to
get it. The penance of wearing I'M
becoming and unsuitable costumes,
or adiuncts, is q trying one; so be
wise, and by choosing judiciously do
not put yourself in a position that
will involve your having to undergo
it. Sackcloth and ashes mean happi-
ness as compared with silk and tulle
for all hours and occasions.-MrS.
MdUon IN Ladies' Home Journal.

The Mayors Vision.

Our only competitor started off it's
first page yesterday with an article
headed "The Mayors Vision" We
have no doubt it was a great disap-
pointment to many persons as it vas
to us.
When we saw the head we expected
a description Of the future which His
Fraudulency sees ahead of him after
the courts have turned him out of the
office which he holds through the
crookedness of the Ring. Instead, it
was some rubbish about the Hacken-
sack meadows about which Mr.. Cleve-
land babbled in his own oily, glib
fashion some six or eight months ago.
A picture of the vision which Mr..
Cleveland always.has before his eyes at
present would be a spectacle of tragic
interest. A lonely, dishonored de-
cline, deserted by the toadies who
only cling to him on account of his
fraudulent powers: a season of
bitter repentance for the treach-
cry which estranged those who
might by a little honesty have been
made faithful friends through all
vicissitudes. That is the vision that
looms up before the eyes of a man
who has tricked every one who would
believe him, and betrayed every one
who would trust him.

M AAA Is ANOfcSfS0 OOtf W.
of yesterday
1t is well that the business of repairing the
public school buildings and expanding the funds
available for that purpose is to be left where it
should be, in the hands of the school directors.
This is, as we understand it, what the Mayor de-
sired, and by a little adroit management in di-
viding up the money the restrictions of the law
as to its expenditure can be observed and the
repairs be made, and the Street and Water Com
missioners will have to keep their hands off that
$4,000.
How San a man of common sense
s~tultify himself by writing such non
sense2
Orestes Cleveland vetoed the entire
appropriation for the repairs of the
schools. He claimed that his only
motive was the consideration that the
city could not stand the expense. 1t
is probable that his Fraudulency is
alarmed at the financial outlook.
He has good reason. But if he
had any other motive in vetoing the
appropriation it was the direct OBJ
posite of that stated by the Journal.
Spent by the Board of Education, the
money is Of nc advantage to his ring,
and the fact that his crooked Street
and Water Board could not spend it
had probably much to do with his OPP
position to the appropriation.
Too much praise cannot be given
Mr.. Cannon for the manly and up
right stand he has taken against the
d~isgraceful Hall of Records job. The
work is bad clean through and
through. The masonry is disgrace
full; the drainage is defective, and the
whole business is in an unfinished,
crude condition. Tt is in unwork-
manlike shape at the best, and the
county should not even consider the
question of accepting it until the
rubbish is cleared away, the
approaches graded, and the job gen.
orally cleaned up and put in ship
shape. Then will arise the question
whether it should be accepted any
way. Mr.. Cannon evidently thinks
it should be torn down and rebuilt.
Probably he is right. Anyway, every
flaw in it should be found out and re
paired before it is accepted-if it is to
be accepted. Taken as a whole, the
long drawn out story Of this building
Is one of the most glaring exemplifica'
lions of Ring misrule that even Hud-
son county has ever seen.
