There.
The martyrs, when they were re-
leased from State Prison on Friday,
must have felt that liberty was not
worth having when they missed III
face from the throng that gathered to
welcome them to liberty. AS their
cell doors opened, and they stepped
out to hear the joyful Christmas news,
to shake the warm hands of friends,
to hasten to the homes where wives
and children awaited them. a damp
and dismal chill must have fallen
upon their spirits as they missed the
intellectual face and honor comforting
grip of the great leader they all revere
and obey, the little Napoleon ofsHud-
son County politics, the ex-Honorable
Jailer Davis.
1t is only too true. bob" did not

some of them just wanted to go back

what bob" meant by staying away,

company with the like of them, since
he resigned his second office and be-
gan bowling for somebody else to do
likewise. But this they are assured
was not so. bob" had not grown
too heightened to speak to them. He
was very affabIe with them at the ball
that night. The truth was, bob"
could not go to Trenton just then.
He had to attend a conference in New

"The Jersey City News


The reception accorded to The
JERSEY CITY NEWS Christmas extra
eight-page edition fairly surpassed
our expectations. We expected a
cordial recognition; but the enthusi-
asm which the paper created was as
unlocked for, as it was pleasing to us.
All agreed that nothing like it had
ever before been attempted in Jersey
City, ard what surprised people most
was that a first attempt should be SO
complete and perfect a success. How
ever. more than one citizen was kind
enough to explain the marvel by say
ing that that was The News style;
whatever it undertook. it did well.n
Besides thanking the public of Hud-
son County for their hearty response
to our efforts to cater to their wishes,
we have only one word to add On the
subject of this Christmas number: 1t
is mainly to be regarded as a promise.
The coming year is to be one of great
progress and development with us.
New efforts will be put forward every
day to make the paper not only the
best in Hudson County, but the best
in the State. New features, local and
general, are to be added, one by one, to
reading columns. The news wifi
be fully presented than ever.
EVERY device known to modern jour
palism will be adopted to brighten
and strengthen the service which we
give the public daily.
The policy of the paper will remain
the same that it has always been.
Everything that is honest and true
Rnd that promises advantage to the
public will be earnestly favored and
assisted. Everything false, corrupt
or retrograde will be unsparingly SON
demned. In National and State poll

The secretary of the treasury and the
assistant secretaries have been disposed to
regard the Indiana representative as
fifth wheel 10 q wagon ever since his ap-
pointment as commissioner of immigra-
ton, which Office WAS made to order for
him when he was turned down by his
Indiana constituents.
Mr.. Owen has been quarrelsome, AFRO
CANT and presumptuous, and has been in
every way great aggravation to his
superiors, who have been obliged to put
up with him because he is one of President
Harrison's pets.
There has been a conflict OF authority
between Owen and Assistant Secretary
Spalding for several months; there Is Just
now a good sized row on hand at the
reasury department and Owen is respon-
be for 1t all.
1t is alleged that he has made some
blunders in supervising the immigration
bureau at New York City, causing the in

1t is believed that Secretary Foster will
demand his resignation and that President
Harrison will be compelled to aquiesce.

Everybody knows that there is q go
called watch trust for the purpose of keep

from handling them.
The SENTINEL, however, has been able
to get ahead of the trust, and is enabled
to furnish fine filled gold watches at whole
sale prices.

just as good as a solid gold watch. twill

for the American Sabbath union.
/. s Coffin, ex-rsilroad commissioner of
Fl. Dodge, Ia, representing the brother
hood of railroad trainmen, numbering
about twenty-three thousand persons,
mostly brakemen, pleaded for observance
of the Sabbath in order that the railroad
employees might have an opportunity for
rest. He asserted that many railroad &C
cidents attributed TO carelessness of en-

employees were overworked. This class of
people wanted the moral support that
would be afforded by favorable congress

to assist them in attaining their object,
viz, the establishment OF regulations by
railroad corporations that would afford the
trainmen more rest than they now enjoy.
incidentally Mr.. Coffin stated that 1t was
contemplated by the ASSOCIATION he repre-
scented to request congress to pass law
prohibiting the running of interstate mail
