ANIMALS FROM THE ARK.
UNIQUE Entertainment at the Home
of Mrs. Gifford-A ftern0on
Teas.

The stately residence of Mrs. e. v. r.
Clifford. OH Bergen avenue, was yesterday
afternoon the scene of an entertainment
unique in the annals of Jersey City So
ciety. The fortunate receivers of invita-
lions learned that at three O'Clock the
Afternoon Drawing Class" would meet,
bat beyond this the proceedings were kept
u deep mystery. AT the appointed hour
the guests found two blackboards ranged
IN the main drawing room, and TO these
solemnly marched the judges, Mrs.
Joseph Mccoy, Mrs. Helm. Mrs. Bennett
and Mrs. Beach. Their STUN were
long black robes, heavy pointed masks
and cowls, and huge wigs of white cot
~tonbatting, and each carried q long staff,
which she waved portentously in the air.
A box containing folded slips of paper
was then passed among the guests, each
slip bearing IL number II the name Of an
animal, every four slips alike. The guests
then marched to the black board as the
bers were called, and drew the ami
mails named on the sip. Tn four judges
then gave their dictum on the merits of
drawings, awarded prizes for the best and
worst efforts of each quartette. The
drawing which was adjudged hest of ali

spoon and represented a COW in a truly

The Chilean Disgrace.

With it's usual facility for misrepre-
sentation, the State Gazette accuses
the Democratic Press of adopting a
cry of peace at any price," Not at
all! We are just as ready for war as
the Republicans if the national honor
or the national interests demand it.
What we have always commended was
that there was nothing IN the elements
of discord or in the aspects of the
negotiations which afforded the least
excuse for wal talk or IL war spirit. 1t
was tolerably clear to all clear and
sober minded people that if President
Harrison did not artifcially develop a
war out of the situation, one would
never take place. What we protested
against was the determination to have
war at any price," which seems to
have possessed Mr.. Harrison since the
asperity first began.
The figure we cut in the world may
be judged from the comments of the
European press. However false and
injurious many of the allegations OF
the English newspapers may be. We
cannot but feel that the history of II
South American diplomacy for the
last twenty years affords only too
much ground for suspicion as to our
statesmen's motives, and too much
color of reason for any charges of
piratical designs that may be made
against them. One English paper,
for instance, claims that the object of
Yankee buster" is to give Torpaca
back to Peru and Bolivia in exchange
for commercial treaties and fat con-
cessions.
Painful as it may be, we cannou help
feeling that there may be ground for
this charge. The story of Mr.. Blaine's
South American diplomacy is a dark
one. 1t is mixed up with many names
of infamy. The Hurlbut scandal of
1881 proved about as ~conclusively
as such things can ever be proven,
that Mr.. Blaine was far from being
above the temptations of guano and
n~itrates. We do not suppose he car
change his nature any more than the
leopard can his spots, and the various
people who are associated with him
in the present administration, from
Mr.. Harrison, with his Cape May
cottage deed in his wife's pocket,
down to Refrigerator Raum, who was
not too good to blk the ten dollar
clerks in his office, are certainly not
above using a foreign complication to
put fortunes in the pockets of them
selves and their friends.
This Chilean complication is a very
nasty business, and, we fear, the more
it is Investigated the worse it will
look.

THE New York Herald has tried to
bolster up it's selfish fight again st the
Gutenberg track by introd ucing a
political element into it. 1t has failed
most signally. Be it said to the credit
of the Republican party of the State
that, hardly more than two or three
papers have been induced, even by
the opportunity of manufacturing
campaign lies to take any part in the
d~isgraceful struggle. Many of the
leading Republican papers, as, for in
stance, the Ecening Journal of this
city and the Elizabeth Journal have
condemned unsparingiy the venality
and hypocrisy of the Gutenberg crusa-
derS.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1892-01-29
Mr.. Record and the Library.

Mr. George l.. Record spoke some
what hastily, we think, yesterday, at
the Board of Trade dinner when he
made a sweeping condemnation of the
proposal to regulate the Free Library
appropriation. We think he simply
misunderstood what it is proposed to
do.
At present the Library is arbitrarily
in receipt of about $50. 900 a year from
the taxpayers OF this city. Under the
law, the financial officers have
no authority to reduce the amount in
the slightest degree. The Library may
have more money than it a advan-
~tageously use, the appropriations for
other objects, of vital necessity, may be
lamentably deficient. No matter, the
Library must get its money and every
thing else must go short.
Does Mr.. Record know that in this
city we only allow So 900 for night
schools, that We allow less than
$50, 900 for hospitals and dispensaries,
that this years appropriation for
cleaning the streets and removing
ashes and garbage is only $50, 900, that
the allowance for the relief of the
poor is only $4,000. We might go on
indefinitely illustrating the absurd
d~isproportion between our Library
appropriation and others that we
make for prime necessities of muni-
:ipal life.
But, in truth, nobody proposes to
