He Spoke oniy for Himself and Toi d
Dillon the Exact Truth.
To the Editor Of the jersey cftv Neios:-
In reply to your commentator an ex-
tract from the EUentng Telegram. pur-
porting to give my views on the present
most deplorable condition of affairs as
they affect the struggle for home rule in
Ireland. allow me to offer a word of ex-
PLANTATION.
Since the beginning of the present
trouble | had positively refused to say
anything for publication, hoping that
there would be some compromise effected
by which Mr.. Parnell might still con-
tinue to work for the accomplishment o
home rule without losing the co-opera-
tioh of his colleagues or of the Liberal
Party in England, without whose aid no
measure Of home rule is possible until
the present generation of Irishmen are
cold in their graves.
l had intended to continue this
discreet course. and did not intend to
express my views In public until a meet
ing of the Central Branch had been
called, but when the gentlemen of the
American Press start out TO find any in
formation of public interest they always
succeed. The extract you quote, as far
as it purporus 10 express my personal
views, is substantially correct, but |
positively say that | did not attempt to
speak for anybody else, and asked the
HtullcIudu VINO luJcIfleWcu lQ6 anu VINO
expressed very strong opinions himself,
60 be careful not to publish these opinions
as coming from me. Instead of filling
Mr.. Dillon's mind with erroneous opin-
ions as to the feeling of Irlshmen here,
quite the contrary, told Mr.. Dillon that
at a meeting called at my house few
days ago, a majority of those present
were in favor of sustaining Mr.. Parnell
Whatever opinion l expressed bound
nobody but myself, and | tried to say just
as little as possible without being rude
to the representative of the Telegram.
/ still hope that some means may be
found by which the present breach which
threatens TO destroy the labor of the past
ten years for Ireland may be bridged over
and we may still WORK shoulder to shoul-
der for the emancipation of our suffering
countrymen from Tory oppression with
Mr.. Parnell. If not the leader, then as
gallant soldier in the ranks.

service in the cause he has so ably led in

WASHINGTON SOCIETY.
The Bread Winners Constitute the
Largest Part Of It-At 4 2. NJ.

In Washington ballroom last sea-
son were conversing three people
the Baron De -, newly attached TO
a foreign legation, young depart
ment clerk. and girl from Boston
"And them" said the girl, there
are the people in the departments
here. They are large part of the
population, aren't theys"
'Oh. re departments" said the
Baron. II have heard zat zey are ze
houses of aims for re paupers, heinP'
.And, | have heard, said the clerk,
promptly, that the foreign legations
here are the places of refuge for the
impoverished edreputations of European
diplomats"
The girl from Boston was equal to
the occasion, and prevented the hot
retort on the Baron's lips.
"Ahln she said. II am so glad, for
I'm philanthropist, you know, and
| adore poverty-of all kinds"
Half the men in the room and sew
eral of the women were department
clerks.
The elegant elderly gentleman who
was assidiously feeding the pretty
daughter of a Chicago Cr9sus re-
joiced in the possession of 81, 400
clerkship in our department; the
howling swell. who was lazily allow
ing himself to be AMUSED by a sweet
rosebud debutante, was the chief of a
division in another department; the
group of young exquisites, who We're
making the life OF the party, were
all clerks. Several OF the women, Who
were receiving the most court, fol-
lowed the same calling.
'sAhlr said the Baron, after having
met few more of the people in the
room, re department clarks-zey are
Washington, ba jovem
He was entirely right. Who are
the principal buyers in the shops?
Who are the chief patronizers of the
theatres? Who form the bulk of the
renters OF houses? Who are most of
the readers of the Star? Who fill the
churches? Who crowd the barsg
Who make up the rank and file of
''society?" Who are the members OF
the clubs? Go calling before four
o'clock; go to a barroom before that
hour; sit in the club at half-past
three. You will find yourself almost
alone. Nothing goes on in a social
way till the departments nave emptied
themselves.
Any attempt to classify these clerks
is absurd. They came from every
where in America, from almost every
where on earth. There are Poles and
Russians and Americans among them.
Some are Calfornians. some Flori-
dians, some Yankees, some Michi-
ganders. They are rich and poor
from the clerk whese carriage calls
for him (precious few of these are
there, but still some) to the poor fell
low who wears an alpaca coat far into
the fall and heavy frock coat far
into the spring. Some are rakish
bachelors, who spend their money in
forbidden pleasures; others are the
fathers of large and struggling fami-
lies; some are spendthrifts, always in
debt and generally in the clutches of
the money lenders; Others are thrifty
and own property; some are not yet
out of their teens; others totter upon
the verge of the grave. When four
o'clock comes this strange assemblage
disintegrates; their calling gives them
nothing in common after Office hours

A Kindly Fashion.

Fashion is sometimes a friendly
dame. The Countess Taafe, a rich and
powerful social leader in Vienna, has
set the mode of wearing many carved
mother-of-p pearl hairpins and other
ornaments to profit the needy fisher
men. Archduehess Valeria, daughter
of the Emperor, has made silver orna-
ments and furnishings fashionable for
the sake of the silver workers. To
benefit the half-starved weavers the
Princess of Wales has revived the an
tiquated manufacture of Irish poplins
OF which she wears many, and with
her sister-in-law has forced into vogue
for the street the heavy wooden cloths,
the making of which means bread to
so many hungry men and women. -

and the child's will was broken
Such victories are worse than defeats.
| have seen a father and his boy
stand pitted against each other. with
a look in each face that ] could call
nothing but hatred: and when
thought of the power of the one and
the helplessness of the other, / could
not but admire the boys pluck. There
should be no such occasions. The pa
rent stands convicted of utter stupidity
in finding himself in any such situa-
tion.
There are times when it is wiser for
the parent to ignore some mood on
the child's part. The part OF the par
ent should be in ever seeking the
wise opportunity to impress the child
with the virtue that is the reverse of
some fault it falls into. Children
pass through various phases, and
some dragon of a fault that one has
been worrying over and planning
against suddenly vanishes into thin
air. and is no more. Sometimes one
fixes a fault by noticing
too much. 1t becomes an
expression of nervousness. The
child repeats the fault through an in
ability to pass over it. 1t becomes
like hard word in the spelling book
that he has met before. He recog-
nizes the word without knowing its
name, and at the same moment re-
members hisstruggles with it, and the
painful impression fills him with ner-
vousness; his mind becomes confused,
and he cannot control his thought
1t is wise with fault, as with the
hard word, to let it 90 to escape it,
Omit the hard word; avoid anything
TO excite the habitual fault. Presently
the child forgets the fault. 1t may be
said that injudicious parents often
create their ehildren's faults. .-Har-

and entertaining social satire under
the title of ''Mrs. Harold Stagg." The
story is told with the amusing and
quiet cleverness which has made the
authors reputation, and contains
many striking ideas which will cause
society's back bone to creep. Like

heroine under a cross-fre from a

Census Conspirators.

Hoboken thinks it has discovered a
big thing in the fact that its recount
of its people gives it 4,s23 more popu-
lation than the 43, 1870 the Federal
census allowed it. 1t would be a
wonder If it showed anything else.
The taking of the census was no
doubt done on partisan lines
marked out by the Republican
chiefs at Washington; and the
census takers probably entered into
a great conspiracy with them -
as broad as the country itself-to un-
dercount the Democratic localities,
and ovsrcount the Republican strong
holds. New York City was scandal
ously decirnated by these partisan
rascals. New Jersey, equally strong
in her Democracy. has probably suf-
fered as much. These figures from
little Hoboken are corroborated by
the police census takers of Newark,
who find good mary more peop lie
there than the Federal officials found
--or wanted to find. A like count il
made all over the State would pro-
badly show that the Commonwealth
has been robbed of 100000 or more
of her growth by the conspiring
Federal enumerators.
The only part of the State which
has not probably been slighted, is the
Camden section, whose Republican
ism won for it, in the Republican re-
turns, all the people it has, if not
more. Even Camden, we are re-
minded, raised a howl against the
enumerators for not making her big
enough, but that was probably started
by the Republicans themselves TO
make it appear that, if errors were
found in recounted Democratic dis
tricts, they were not due to the parti-
sanship of those who made them.
No one can form anything like an
accurate idea OF the population of the
country from Porter's tables. 1t is a
matter of history that he first
figured out what totals would best
help the Republican party in the Con
gressional reapportionment, and that
ne has bent all of his energies to keep
ing the returns as close to those totals
as possible.

ems hire beaux to escort them to the

Timid citizens are scared in the dead
of night by.their own watchmen, who
at every quarter of the hour make
such noise with their wooden clap
pers one would suppose the town to
be on fire. You will see sleds used in
summer there. They go bumpin z
over the bare cobble-stones, While the
driver holds dripping oil rag in ad-
vance of the runners to lessen the
friction.
You will see streets of water; and
the country roads paved as nicely as
Broadway. You will see vessels
hitched, like horses, to their owners
doorposts, and whole rows of square
peaked houses leaning over the street,
as If they were getting ready to tum-
BILE. Instead of solemn striking
clocks, you will hear church chimes
playing snatches of operatic airs every
quarter of an hour. by way of mark
ing the time. You will see looking
glasses hanging outside of the dwell
lings, and pincushions displayed on
the street doors. The first are called
Spionnen Cor Spionnejen), and are so
arranged outside of the windows that
persons sitting inside can, without
being seen, enjoy reflection of all
that is going on in the street. They
can learn, too, what visitor may be
coming, and watch him rubbing his
soles to polish before entering.
The pincushion means that new
baby has appeared in the household.
IL white or blue, the newcomer is a
girl; if red, it is little Dutchman.
Some of these signals are very snowy
affairs; some are not cushions at all,
but merely shingles trimmed with
ribbon or lace; and among the poor
est class it Is not uncommon to see
merely white or red string tied to
the door-latch--a fit token OF the
meagre life the poor little stranger is
destined to lead.
Sometimes, instead of either pin
cushion or shingle, you will see a
large placard hung outside OF the
front door. Then you may know that
somebody in the house is i'll, and his
or her present condition is described
ON the placard for the benefit
of inquiring friends; and some-
times, when such a placard
has been taken down, you may
meet grim looking man on the street
dressed in black tights, short cloak,
and high hat, from which long,
black streaner is flying. This is the
AGnsprekeg, going from house to house
to tell certain persons that their
friend is dead. He attends to funerals.
and bears invitations to all friends
whose presence may be desired. A
strange, weird looking figure he is;
and he wears peculiar, professional
cast of countenance that is anything
but comforting. -May Mapes Dodge
