There is little danger that anv more
cases of smallpox will develop in the vi

health authorities have taken thorough
precautionary measures.

spreading. The doctor said that the three
patients who had been removed to Snake

In no church in the city, perhaps, were
the floral decorations more exquisite or
the services more interesting than in ST.
Matthew's Church. Sussex street. The
altar was adorned with Easter lilies, white
roses and smilax, and at the morning SER
vices especially these were more beauti-
full, as the morning sunlight reached them
through some of the eastern windows.
All the services were more largely attend
ed than those of any former Easter cele-
bration and the offerings were very large.
The music, under the direction of Organ
ist and Choirmaster Fred Burtis, was of
an exceptionally high order. The Rev.
Joseph Mock in thefmorning reviewed the
history of the parish, alluding especially
to the prevailing harmony and growing
interest evidenced in the church's affairs

he selected the familiar text from Psalms

is IT A UNION FIGHT?

Fifteen spinners at the Lings' Spinning
Mills, Greenyille, went out on strike this
morning by order of Delegate McNair. of
the Knights of Labor. The strikers
stopped work because the company re-
fused to reinstate John Fishwick and Jas.
per Taylor, who were discharged on
Thursday last.
The strikers are firm and say they will
not give in until Taylor and Fishwick are
reinstated. They claim that the men
were discharged because they were
Knights OF Labor.
Mr.. George S. Lings, treasurer of the
company, on the other hand. claims that
Taylor and Fishwick were discharged on
account of incompetency.
THE CoMPANY's SIDE.
1.-THE rumor," said he, that they were
discharged because they are members of
the knights of Labor is entirely without
foundation. They were incompetent and
we will not take them back. Delegate
McNair visited Inc but l refused TO talk
to him. l will meet the strikers but will
not talk to any man who is or was not
employed here. II the strikers do not re-
turn to work tomorrow morning they
will all be discharged. Our men have no
cause to be dissatisfied. We pay from
three TO four dollars more per week than
the spinners in the New England States
are receiving. and if they are not on hand
tomorrow morning we will Immediately
telegraph to Canada where we can secure
hundreds of French-Canadian spinners."
VERY QUIET.
None of the strikers were near the fac
tory this morning. as Police Captain John
Smith, fearing trouble was on hand, and
allowed no one to stand on the streets.
The strickers refused to talk about
the matter when interviewed by JER-
sEY CITY NEWS reporter this morning.
They said that they would not care to say
anything until after the meeting which is
to be held some time this afternoon at
Stencils Atlantic Garden on Girard
avenue.
So far as can be learned. however.
the strikers intend to make
a strong fight, and one of
them even estimated that the lother en-
ployes at the factory would be threatened
with violence unless they stopped work.
There are about $50 men and girls en-
ployed In the factory, and so far they
have manifested no interest in the strike.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE
LIQUOR DEALERS ASSOCIATION
OF HUDSON COUNTY,
RoCHE's HALL.
JERSEY CITY, April 18th, 1892.
[PERsoNAL.1
Dear St7'-In 1887 this State was in COM
plete control of the Republican party. The
State Democratic Committee appealed to
the liquor dealers throughout the State,
and especially to Hudson County, for help
to gain them control of the Legislature,
promising us reduction of the license
fee and to repeal the Disorderly House
Act. We accepted the proposition and
voted every dollar in our treasury to this
cause. We went further. We appointed
committees and collected large sums of
money from the brewers. of New York and
vicinity. We appointed committees in
the several Assembly districts to take
charge OF the polling precinct throughout
this county and Essex, and collected
thousands of dollars for the different
Assembly candidates. We capped the
climax by standing at the polls on election
day and working to elect the different
candidates of the Democratic party.
What was the result? We carried every
district in Hudson County, except the
Fifth, and Republican Essex for the first
time in twenty years sent a solid Demo-
cratic delegation to Trenton. That is
what we have done for the Democratic
party.
Since their accession to power the
Democratic party have increased salaries
from the Governor down to the City
Marshal and have extended the terms OF
office holding so as to virtually rob US oil
our franchise.
What have they done for the liquor
dealersa Have they kept one single
promise NADER No. They have no further
use for us. To Allan L. McDermott.
Chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee and the present candidate for
Mayor of Jersey City, more than to any
one else. is our failure to receive any
recognition due.
Liquor men. look to your own inter
ests. Did P. F. Wanser, his opponent,
while Police Justice of our city ever fine
or commit liquor dealer? No. The
Rings heelers did lock up our President,
Mr.. Pat. McArdle. and place him in a
cell of Sunday evening, though his repu-
tation is above reproach. and he property
owner worth thousands of dollars.
Liquor men, now is your timel Let US
assert our rights as men. Go to the polls
on election day and cast your ballot
against McDermott for Mayor, and we
guarantee you will never regret it.
