II may be thought that the great gains
here note were mostly II not altogether
due to lower prices because OF cheap
raw aterial But this Gledu :tion is
ncgatived by tina fact that In the same
time the exports Of cotton goods from
Great Britain to the whole Of South
America decreased ,6e5, 400 yards, while
to Brazil alone the decrease WAS nearly
n ,0OO, 900 yards. And IL will be remem-
bercd In this connection that Brazil is
the only tountry the reciprocal treaty
with which has been In existence sum-
ciently long to be reaily important.
And It is reported that the exports from
this country include descriptions Of co.-
ton goods that werc never before sent
to Brasil. This because the demand
there has undergone important changes
eince the emancipation Of tho slaves.
The demand for blue drills, which used
TO te the staple export, has fallen
on to small Dimensions. ani better
kinds are now desired. Also It ID noted
that . much greater interest than here

any man would not do In his position.
He is in the fight and anxious to win.
That is natural, and NO fault can be
found with 1t. He insists, as IL his
right and privilege, in knowing the
plans that are made and making looking
toward that end, and he must be cap
tious critic, indeed, who can find such .
course blameworthy.
The secret OF the Democratic fault
finding is well-grounded fear OF the
man who now sits In the White House.
Four years have demonstrated that
Benjamin Harrison is Q very clear
h~Sded, far seeing man and no novice In
politics. He believes In practical work
In its very best sense. AMI understands
how to plan It shrewdiy and ably direct
It's execution. It is this fact that In
cites Democratic misrepresentatiOn and
abuse. The Bourbons would gladly rob
the Republicans Of tha advice and coun-
sci Of President Harrison, for they know
nothing wo lid weaken them more. This
being understood Demo ,ratic criticisms
ON this point are unworthy Of attention.

RED HAIR VS.. SNAPPY EYES.
A Charge of Theft and a Ladvlike Dis
cussion Before Justice O'Donnell.

A Charge of Theft and q Ladylike Dis
cussion Before Justice O'Donnell.
After the usual lot of drunk and disor-
derly persons had been disposed of by
Justic O'Donnell this morning, the prison
er's pen and the witness chair were occu-
pied by two young women who wore
stylishly cut gowns and jackets and their
Easter hats. They were Miss May Peters,
who lives with her mother at No. 238
Grand street. and Miss Mamie Mcdonald,
of No. 271 Grand street.
Miss Peters is rather large for young
girl, and has red hair. She dresses we'll
aud looks pretty in police court. Miss
has pair of snappy black eyes that are a
match for Miss Peters red hair.
Miss Peters said that on Sunday morn
ing Miss Mcdonald had come to her
house to compare Easter hats with her,
and had taken away with her two silk
sashes, piece of silk ribbon and two
handkercniefs. She wanted the Judge to
do something with Miss Mcdonald.
Miss Mcdonald stoutly denied that she
had stolen the articles, but said that her
accuser had made her a present of the rib
bon and handkerchlefs. AS for the sashes
she knew nothing about them.
Then began lively discussion between
the two young women, which became
very personal before the Judge could stop
it.
Miss Peters swore she had called at Miss
McDonald's house, and there saw the
missing articles. which she valued at ten
dollars,
Miss Mcdonald was held to await the
action of the Grand Jury, and was al
wait until her friends secured bail for her
release.

have always had your assistance and
whatever improvements have been made
in the service are due as much to your
hearty cooperation as to any efforts of
mine. hope that the rapid progress we
have made will be kept up, and that we
will soon have the efficiency Of our de-
Dartment on level with that of any city
in the land.
"We have made some valuable improve
ments, and hope to be able to make
more. The electric patrol system re-
Gently put in use is a most valuable addi-
ton. The next improvement will be a
new station house for the Sixth precinct.
After that there are two other stations to
be built. The general public can scarcely
appreciate the value of these improve
ments. but that should not deter us in
our efforts to give the public the best pos
sible service. Gentlemen, thank you
again."
AT the close of Mr.. Feeney's remarks
some minor business was attended to,
after which resolution was adopted au-
thorizing the Committee on Hospitals to
advertise for bids for the laying of 100
feet of S-inch and 300 feet of 12-inch sewer,
connecting with the main buildings of
the City Hospital, the sewer to be of the
best salt glazed pipe and laid under the
direction Of the City Engineer.
The Board then adjourned to meet next
Thursday at four p. m.

ALL CUT And DRIED.
Republicans Go Through
the Motions of ChoS-
ing Delegates to
Minneapolis.
COLLINS AND M'EWAN.
They Are Uninstructed-A Grab
for Power and a Shortage
in the Treasury.

The Republican Convention to elect
two delegates from the Seventh Congress
sional district to the National Convention
at Minneapolis was held at Woods Hall
yesterday afternoon. There were ninety
eight delegates present representing this
city, Hoboken, Harrison, Kearney and
Arlington. The convention was called to
order by E. W. Woolley, but long before
this happened the battle had been won.
There was not delegate opposed to Gill
bert Collins and Thomas Mcnwan, Jr.
Flavel MCGEE and K. w. Woolley were
elected temporary and permanent chair
man and ssecretary respectively, and
Flavel got in his little speech in which he
reminded these present that it was all
proper enough for citizens and not par
tisans to elect Mayor, but that it would
be wrong for citizans and not partisans
to elect President. He thought the Re-
publican prospects excellent il a good,
clean man was nominated and the battle
was fought upon the tariff question. He
did not refer to the other Republican
bugbear "honest money" Perhaps this
was because he was a lawyer.
CREASED LIGHTNING.
The names of Gilbert Collins and
Thomas McEwan, Jr., were then placed
before the convention and they were
elected delegates to the Minneapolis con-
ventien unanimously. John Reid of Ho-
boken and Major z. T., Pangborn were
elected alternates. The convention de-
cided not to instruct the delegates.
A resolution to the affect that the new
apportionment by the State Convention
for representation, be made In Hudson
and Essex counties, according to popula-
tion, was adopted. This was a move TO
place the control of the State Committee
in the hands of the committeeman from
Hudson aud Essex. Doubtless the reso-
lutions will be ignored when considered
by the State Convention.
COMPLEMENTARY TALK.
Thomas McEwan aud Ex-Mayor Col
Inns briefly thanked the convention for
the honor conferred, painted delightful
pictures OF Republican success and the
the misery of Democrats. dwelt on tariff,
Mckinley bill and no free coinage, and re-
ceived applause.
The delegates will meet at Trenton
tomorrow to aid in the election of four
Delegstes-at-Large. The convention will
be called to order at eleven o'clock in
Taylor's Opera House.
wHEwl
Those delegates who do not go to Trenton
tonight, will go on the 1913 train tomor-
row morning. The Chairman announced
that there was small deficit to be made
up for the recent campaign, and he asked
those disposed to help pay the debts to
send in their subscriptions. This conven-
ton then adjourned rather dismally.
The delegates will meet at the Ameri-
can House before going to the convention
tomorrow to caucus.
