TIPS ON THE FASHIONS.

Lovely Color Embroidery
Much Favored Round WAISTS.
Round waists for Misunderstanding
and theatre-are elaborated by Jacket
fronts. Great variety is obtained in this
way with the use of lace n of jetted
guipure net. This fashion will last
through the spring. Trimming laces are
being imported in great quantities. There
is a new black lace of wool and silk In
coarse meshes looking as IL crocheted. IL
has u large, heavy pattern. some oil
which appears to be silk cord appliqued
on. 1t is called ''punchinella" lace. The
white to be used on spring gowns is the
coarse mesh of pure cotton that has been
worn all winter on cloth dresses, under
the name of point de Gene. IL is now re-
christened point d'Irlande-a delicate AT
tention OF Germany, where it Is made. TO

dressy evening wear are very elegant n

Fancy buttons will be more used dur
ing the coming season than tor the past
five years, hui they must be useful, not
merely ornamental,
The dainty tea gowns and silk blouses
have jabots of fine accordion plating
down The front and sides. Several d fer
ent kinds of laceS and grenadines now
being made up for summer wear are
plated III this way, and in fact wherever
it can possibly be employed it is, even
| sometimes with some OF the light moires
and swivel brocades.
Embroidery is this year to be greatly
favored, and already the leading ware
houses are exhibiting very elegant cos
tunes finished with this beautiful garni-
ture. These are of plain China silk, sheer
| and@ beautifully tinted wool fabrics,

THE MACS AND OS.
Election Of officers and the Great
Big Ball.

The election Of the Mclaughlin Associ-
alton takes place tomorrow night. But
little interest is manifested, as the names
proposed by the Nominating Committee
nave thus far met with no opposition. In
addition to the list already several times
published the following appears upon the
bulletin board under the heading, "Sink-
ing Fund Commissioners:''-D. McLaugh-
lin. Charles T.. Cassidy, John l.. Madden,
William r.. Cook and John Kenny. l I'M
derstand, however, that the Commission
ers are to be appointed by the new Presi-
dent.
Standard Bearer McLauahIin, while en-
gagged in a chat with Judge Kenny, Fire
Superintent Brown and a few other gen.
tlemen in the assembly room on Saturday
night was surprised by the visit of a COM
mittee OF twelve members of the William
H.. Ellis Association of Hoboken, headed
by Councilman Joseph Weinthal. some
twenty odd members of the Mclaughlin
Association were scattered in groups
about the room when the visitors entered.
On behalf of the Ellis Association Mr..
Weinthal presented Standard Bearer Me-
Laughlin with d beautiful gold badge
with rifle and target design. 1t was in

is doing. The ntention is 10 surprise

The friends of the Association in Tren-

municipality. and should Oh its streets
with riot and d~ebauchery, for It Is
hard to see how they could do 50
without suffering in their prop
erty interests 10 at least an equal ex-
tent with their fellow citizens. But
no consideration OF common sense,
nor yet any inspiration of Christian
forbearance withheld DIR. Parkhurst
from levelling against Mayor Grant,
District Attorney Nicoll and other
prominent men an extremity OF per-
sopal abuse which even the addle-
pated Fassett did not rise to in the
fever Of a political campaign. And
now DIR. Parkhurst is outraged be-
cause these gentlemen will not hold
with him.
1t is the habit Of men like DIR.
Parkhurst, our own DIR. Scudder,
ct id genus omne. to bewail the IL
cense Of the press, especially on ac-
count OF its attacks upon personal
character. 1t is true the press fire.
ouently goes to extremities in its con
demnation Of wickedness; but it may
be broadly claimed that il never does
SO without right and reason on its
side. The press is amenable at the
hands OF anyone to prosecution under
laws which only an occasional bob"
Ineersall ventures to invoke against
the pulpit. The fact that the press
almost invariably condemns unmo-
Tested and unprosecuted is its con-
elusive vindication, the final proof OF
the judgment and honesty which con-
troll its utterances.
OF course these remarks OF ours
have a local application which every
reader may make for himself. We
hardly care enough about DIR. Park
hurst to indulge in this post mortem
comment on his recent freak. We
simply desire to set the public think
ing in a right direction without hav-
ing to resort to painful personalities.
We hope the people Ct Jersey City
will read certain partisan political
sermons with which the Republican
campaign is being opened here, in
their true light, and will attach to
them exactly the degree of import
ance to which they are entitled.
THE fire on Grand street this morn
ing brings out the old report-"There
were no fire escapes on any OF h
buildings" The phrase is stereo-
typed and seems to fit into the story
of every fire in Jersey City without
n effort at adjustment. When AS
seinblyman O'Neill reaches Trenton
this evening his first business should
be to glance at the calendar and see
where that fire escape bill stands.
And no matter what its position, his
first duty should be to see that it is at
once advanced a few steps nearer final
passage. The people of Jersey City
want that bill passed, and any n
who may be responsible for a failure
to pass it will be held to a strict ac-
countability. That there have been
few fatal fires in this city is a matter
| of special Providence-but it is also a
notable fact that wherever there was
| danger there was also death or disas-
ter. If the Fire Department had
proper apparatus the need might not
be so great, but Jersey City has none
of the modern improvements of fire
| service. The old-fashioned hook and
ladder is the best it can offer.
And that accentuates the need for
fire escapes upon every building above
one story in height.

NOMINATE M'DERMOTT.

We trust the Democratic voters of Jer-
sey City who have the interests of the
party at heart will see to it that Altar
McDermott is nominated for the Mayor
atty. 1t will be a sacrifice on the part of
Judge McDermotU to accept the position
but his nomination and election will re-
dound TO the good of the party all over the
State, and we look to our Jersey City
Democratic friends to lay aside personal
preferences for the common good. The
election of Mr.. McDermott will be worth
Il thousand votes to the Democratic party
in the State this fall. as it will assure an
honest. capable administration of city
affairs in the great Democratic metropolis
OF New Jersey for the next I'VE years.

Free sneech In the Pulpit.

Ministers seem to think that the Or
binary rules of decency and propriety
have no application to them when
they think fit to differ with their fell
low men. The habit of assuming to
speak for the Almighty. which may
be fit and proper in matters of relig-
ion seems to have too strong q hold for
the reverend gentlemen to escape from
it when they turn their consecrated
intellects to secular matters. Thus it
happens that when a clergyman
chooses to introduce politics, social
topics or business affairs into his pull
pit. a number of common English
words acquire new meanings not set
down in the dictionary, and new
privileges hold sway owe public dis
cussion, which, if exercised by a lay
man would be answered either wi tn a
cowhide or a magistrates warrant.
The word truth" we observe, in a
minister's mouth. at least when he
talks on secular affairs, must almost
invariably be interpreted as meaning
simply the thing which he chooses to
believe or to think. "Falsehood" is
what everybody else feels bound by
his thought and conscience to give
faith to. Crime" is any act or purpose
which conflicts with the notions or
the interests of the reverend speaker
or of his friends, allies or par tisans.
Other definitions might be added but
they would be only an enlargement
upon these, and if the reader will APP
ply the above to various political and
commercial homilies which have re-
Gently been launched from various
conspicuous pulpits, he will find his
comprehension of their drift and aim
enlarged, and made some what con-
sistent with his general notions of pro-
priety and morals.
Not to come Toe near home, there
was that somewhat notorious sermon
of the Reverend DR.. Parkhurst of
New York upon the wickedness of
Tammany Hall. To read it as it was
spoken, one would suppose that Dr..
Parkhurst and Anthony Comstock,
with DR.. P~arkhurst's congregation a
long way behind, were the only virtu-
ous people i'll the length and breadth
of Manhattan Island. The politicians,
the officials, even the judges and
jurors were i'll n vast conspiracy to
shock the sensibilities of the truly
good. 1t never ed to the good"

10 the ''demnition borrows," if it
were only for the sake OF those
whom they held dear-for even
politicians have human feelings. 1t
seems not TO have occurred to DR..
Parkhurst that, for the most part, the
upper grade of politicians are large
property owners; in the case of the
New Workers, their property is chiefly
located in New York. and to the or
linary mind it would seem hardly
consistent that these men should
