The RelIeviIle Trouble.

The threatened strike of the city
employees at Belleville was officially
brought before the authorities last
night, and it will now become .neces-
sary to deal with the matter in official
form. 1t may be true, as was said at
the time the threat was first made,
that the city can easily supply the
places ofthese men and keep up the
supply of water.
That isn't the point. These men
have done their work and are en-
titled to their pay But their wages
are long overdue and the public con-
sid er it strange that the city cannot
meet the honest demand that is made
upon it. 1t is reflection upon the
credit of the city that should not be
permitted, no matter whether the
men strike or not.

to succeed this one are OF equal repu-
tation and merit.
1t is now the turn of the public of
Jersey City. They owe Mr.. Mullone
reciprocal duty. They owe him a
cordial and generous support. To
make his house a success, to bring
him out even on his investment, he
must have liberal patronage. Thea
tres are not run on air, and the art
istic standing of house is poor con-
ISOLATION for box-office deficit.
We believe the people appreciate
Mr.. Mullone's enterprise and will give
him the return it deserves. If they
fail in this duty, they will do them
selves scant credit. The opening OF
this house is distinct step in the
line of the city's progress. We feel
confident the citizens will see to it
that there is no retrograde move

The Always Busy Woman.

Many women pride themselves on
being always busy" A friend calls
upon one such, needing perhaps a
kind word or look, sympathy with
some Joy or sorrow, or it may be only
the reireshmenJ mind should receive
from contact with mind. But how is
the visitor received The work wor-
shipper having mentioned the calls
upon the industry of her guild or
work society, straightway gives half
her attention, as well as her eyes and
hands, to her task, regardless Of the
fact that the perpetual plying of her
needle acts as an effectual bar not
only to all confidence, but to all con-
versation except the merest common
place Nevertheless she has a keen
eye for the blue eyed angel who has
dropped her work and sits with folded
hands, lost in some heavenly reverie,
whom she remorselessly ronses and
urges on to the fulfilnent of her pos
sibiy unnecessary task.-ChGmbers'

and as our friends are mostly returned
from their several summer outings, the
Children'S Home management ask the
annual hearing for the wants of the chill
dren.
One year ago we entered the fall season
with 81 800 floating debt and 81, 800 annual
expenditure to provide for, and it was
all successfully managed. The. 81. 800
floating debt was paid chiefly by
the check received from the Amateurs
Operatic Associution-Mrs. L. F. G..
Young, President-belnR the proceeds of
the opera ''Chimes of Normany." The
balance of this floating debt was paid by
the check received from the HasDrouck
Institute Glee Club, being tue proceeds of
their charity concert
The $4, 800 regular annual expense of
running the Home came in generous
voluntary contribu lions from yourselves,
the friends of the children. 1t is said OF
the Home contributors that they only
need 10 be reminded to contribute. Let
this circular be your reminder.
| The fall and winter of 1891
are near; the treasury is not only
empty, but actually overdrawn. Our
funds are all gone. every cent, and we
have no friends but yourselves, no one
else to appeal to. This 81 500, if raised,
must come, as heretofore, by your kindly
voluntary contributions. Fittytwo
fatherless and motherless ones are back
of this appeal.
The Home is economically run. For
about 500 per aDnum per child, food, a
home, clothing, etc. ETC., are provided.
1t is the only institution of its
kind in our city of 10000 people,
These orphans are your wards, and to you
our appeal is made as usual for your an
nual contribution, which must come, or
the Home be closed This circular will
be mailed to all the Home friends and
old-time benefactors. Find enclosed Il

urer, George w. Conkin. cashier of the

Cordiality the Proper capor.

Cordiality in greeting is the proper
thing this season. Lassitude, languor
and indifference have gone to the
wall, and in their place are gracious
ness, gush and welcome. With both
arms outstretched your hostess greets
you, beaming with all the effulgence
that nature will permit. She is glad
to see you, glad all over, and she
shows it as openly and nndisguisedly
as il she had not been taught for the
past few years to conceal her affee-

society hauteur. The woman who
understands her business greets you
as if she had not another friend i'll the

The Party of Independence.

The proceedings of the two conven-
tions in New York clearly illustrate
the different principles and systems of
their respective parties. The Repub-
lican Convention met, heard the
orders of its boss, Tom Platt, went
through the cut-and-dried motions of
ratification, and then dispersed with
such pretence of enthusiasm as it
could work up.
The Democratic convention met
far differently. There was no boss
and no slate. There were rival lead
ers, each with his own followers, and
each with his own idea as to what
party policy and party gratitude de-
manded. They contended sometimes
even acrimoniously. They wore no
collar, and they had the courage of
their convictions. Amid the struggle
certain strong men asserted them
selves, and in the end all the rival in
terests were concentrated about these
for the good of the party. And so
true harmony is likely to be the re-
suit.
For once we are proud of division
in the Democracy. 1t shows the
party is still party in which there is
room for manly independence OF
thought and action. We have no
Tom Platt in ours. We have leaders
but no bosses, and the candidates
that we put before the people are the
choice of the party and not the slaves
of petty despot.

Fassett is the scholar in politics, Flower is
the money bags State Gazette.
1t is true that Fassett is scholarly
man; but he uses his advantages al
most invariably in support of the
wrong side. Take the Broadway
Railway affair in 1886 just as single
example. Fassett outdid the paid
advocates of the infamous Jake"
Sharp in defending that outrageous
fraud. He bitterly opposed the
Investigation by the Low COM
mittee. When that committee re-
ported to the Senate the bills pre-
pared by Roscoe Conkling' for the for.
feiture of the franchise of the road,
Senator Fassett opposed them with
all his ability and all his might. He
was, If our memory serves, the only
Senator who finally voted against
them. He certainly voted against
them; the only doubt we entertain is
as to whether one other Senator voted
with him. This is the use Mr. Fas-
sett makes of the talents Provi
dence has given him. He is
one of the Senators who have
blocked a reapportionment of New
York State, in violation of all prin
ciples OF justice; he has always occu-
pied the foremost place in defending
the infamous Quarantine Ring. HI

of the conspiracy which robbed New
York of the Columbian Fair.
In contrast with this career of bril-.
liant infamy, Mr.. Flowers public and
private life gains added lustre. As a
member of Congress, he was intelli
gent, painstaking and incorruptible.
He was always on the side of right.
all his efforts were in the interest oi

has shown enterprise and public spirit
He has done much to build up the
splendid New York of today. He has
been liberal contributor to all pub
lie objects.
AS for the money question. Mr.
Flower is doubtless the richer man Of
the two; but he made his money him
self. Mr. Fassett is also millionaire,
but he made his money by marriage.
In his public life he has always
truckled to money. and it has only
been necessary to find out which was
