JERSEYS CHICAGO REPRESENTATION.

1t Was Given to Mrs f.. ID. G. Stevens of
East orspge, but She Has Declined 1t.
The representation of the thirteen orig
ina States in the great farale at Chicago
next Thursday will be An interesting
feature, inasmuch as it was desigue | that
the original States should be represented
by ladies who are descendants of famous
families of the Revolution. The honor
bestowed by the National Commissioners
Tor the representation OF New Jersey
fell to Mrs Emily G. D. Stevens of South
Arlington avenue, East Orange, a de-
scendant of one of the most noted rsvolu-
tionary fathers Of the period, General
DICKINSON. who was her great-grand-
father.
MIS-. Stevens was seen at her home by a
reporter, who was most cordially re-
celVed. h is Il woman of unusually
strong character and a most intelligent
and Interesting conversationalist.
In referring to the appointment as Jer-
sey's representative, Mrs. Stevens mod
estly admitted tna1 she had been request
ed to act in that capacity several months
ago by General Seweil, who is one of the
Commissioners OF New Jersey, but was
obliged with much regret to decline the
honor, owing to sickness in her family.
Sh further said that she thought the in-
v1tallon had been extended OUT of cour-
tesy to the revolutionary families and to
the Woman's Revolutionary Association,
OF which she is president. She did not
think that any of the ladies would accept
and that they all looked upon it as only a
courtesy.
General Dickinson, my great grand
father" continued Mrs. Stevens, "was a
warm friend of George Washington. who
frequently visited his hone in Trenton,
aud was a prominent Ameri an states
man. being chief magistrate of Penusyl-
vania. In 1776 he refused to sign the
Declaration of Independence" said Mrs.
Stevens. laughing heartily.
also founded Dickinson College at
Carlisle, Pa, which is next to the oldest
educational institute in tae State. For
the e reasons, [ presume. they chose to
select me as New jerseys representa-
tive"
She Was asked il there was any posi-
bility of the other ladies accsptIng the in
vitation and the Commissioners appoint
ing some one else from New Jersey. Sic
said that. while she had declined to par
t~iciDate, She did not know of any APP
pointment aud did not think there would
be, as she did not believe the ladies would
be willing to travel so far for one days
celebration.

THE HREMEN'S RELIEF IMBROGLIO.

A meeting of the Executive COMMITTEES
of the Firemen's Relief Association was
held in Newark Thursday evening. The
report of the Grievance Committee re-
garding the alleged Irregularities of the
Jersey City Association was read and
filed. Subsequently it was decided that
the committee should proceed legally
against the Jersey City branch. AS soon
as ONE minor details are perfected the
suit will be brought.
1t was in March last that the trouble in
the association became known, when
Superintendent Brown made an affidavit
that the officers of the local association
were illegally voting the associations
money to their own use. The State AS
ISOLATION at the request of the complain
ant began proceedings In the Court Of
Chancery. This resulted In the disband-
ing Of the local association. but when the
association was revived nearly all of the
old officers were reinstated to their for
mer positions. The members of the State
Association object to the same men con-
Quoting affairs and will struggle to cause
their removal.

European Issues in American Pol
itics.
The speech attributed to Mr.. Blaine,
and at least read by him last evening
at White Plains, is only notable for
the appeal to the Irish vote, with
which it concludes. Now, certainly,
no honest American or Irish-Ameri-
can can approve of such appeals as
this to racial feelings, to the hatreds
and instincts growing out of the poll
tics of another continent,
We have no respect, no liberation
for an 1rishman who does not regard
the land of his birth with love and
veneration, who does not make it's
aspirations after freedom and a fair
living chance for its people, a pro-
minent feature of his life's efforts.
But we have equally no respect or
federation for the man who allows his
politics as an American citizen to be
affected by his feelings or opinions as
an Irishman. Here, all are Ameri-
cans and all should make the interests
of this country their first concern.
Assuredly the countryha never heard
a more INSCRIPTIONS appeal than that
of Mr.. Blaine to Irish voters to vote
the Republican ticket, because it will
injure England to do so.
OF course, the claim is an absurd
lie. But even if it were true, the
motive suggested would be equally
vicious. Let England prosper or
suffer as she may, there is only one
thing for Irish American and all other
American citizens to consider in this
election. It is this: What is the best
thing for the prosperity and freedom,
now and in the future, of the United
States?.
In growing old, Mr.. Blaine has only
become hardened in political villainy.

of the Judge. They may be good,
they NAV be bad; it is of no conse-
quence. They must be condemned
because he aided them. He must be
condemned on their account.
With such a villainous persecution
to endure. it is. a wonder that any
honest men remain in American poll
tics. The peculiar bitterness is in the
fact that it is often the best acts of a
public mans life, as in the case of
Jadge Werts, that are perverted to do
him injury.

DECIDEDLY DULL WEEK.
Foresters lnstituting New Courts
Pythian. Odd Fellow and
Masonic Notes.

The lodges were only second choice this
week. The Columbus celebration was the
attraction. and even The veterans who al
ways attend the meetings could not resist
the temptation to wines the parades and
p~yrotechpics. IL was consequently a very
dull week in the, secret societies. Many
of the largest lodges and subordinate
bodies barely scraped mp a quorum, de-
gree work was deferred and early adj
tournaments were the feature. From all
the orders pleasing reports are heard.
Each has an abundance Of candidates and
this term will be marked by large gains
in membership, despite the fact that cele-
bratious and politics will tend to destroy
interest and retard growth. 1t will be
exceedingly lively in the secret socieJi es
after the election Is over. until then it
will be intensely quiet and dull.

Mere Empty Vilifcation.

The State Gazette is i~ndulging in a
rare campaign of utilization, Every
act of Judge W erts' honorable career
as a legislator is distorted and mis-
represented to injure him. The
choicest morsels of billingsgate are
mingled with the most INSCRIPTIONS
falsehood. The result is calculated to
make all honest men revolt against
such utterly constituencies partisan
ship. 1t is journalism of this sort that
brings disrepu tie upon the whole craft
among un~refecting people who do not
draw distinctions between the deprav-
ity of Professionalism satrapy
and the honesty of the independent
newspaper.
To dispose of all the State G0zette's
lies would be a task to which the
cleansing of the Augean stable was a
triae. But it may not be a bad idea
to illustrate their stupidity and malice
by one or two examples. One of the
awful things the Judge did, for in
oGoACC, NA1l1C 11O was d 6OAdtOE. WdH W
vote for the State Police Bill. 1t is
only necessary to point to the unani-
o demand of the Republican press
of Republican Pennsylvania for a
similar measure to show the baseness
of the attempt to injure the Judge
for supporting it. During the Home
stead and mining troubles in Pennsyl-
vania, the State was put to enormous
direct expense and great industrial
loss by the calling out of the National
Guard. The presence of the armed
troops to subdue a mere mob of
civilians had an infiammatory and
injurious effect. All the papers al
luded in strains of eulogy to the ad-
mirable system of New Jersey for the
suppression of minor distur bance,
and Governor Albeit and the Demo-
cratic party were given liberal praise
for it. Similarly in the matter of the
Fire Island disturbance and the Buff
falo riots, the need of a State
constabulary was felt in New
York and New Jersey was compli-
mented by all the papers, without
distinction of party, as being far
ahead of her sister States in this re-
spect.
Again. the Judge is berated for
voting for the act which places the
school census in charge of an impair
tial State board. There has been less
said on this subject since the result
proved a saving to the taxpayers of
800, 900 a year. Still a stray allusion
to it as an infringement of the home
rule idea creeps into the columns of
the malignant papers. 1t is SO appro-
pirate, of course, for the Republican
party to speak strongly for home
rule.
Judge Werts is further abused for
voting for the Reapportionment of
the State in accordance with the
population. He is attacked for help
ing to establish the present Board of
Managers for the Insane Asylums,
though it is demonstrated that they
have effected great economies, at the
same time greatly improving the con-
dition of the institutions,
The fact is these attacks are made
without the least reference to tho
true quality Of the acts or the motives

Special to the Jersey City Meas.
SOUTH AMBoY, October is, 1892.-At two
o'clock yesterday morning the authorities
stole a march on the Long Branch Rail-
road and removed the distractions from
Henry street aud opened the street as a
public highway. The crossing has caused
a bitter controversy between the city and
the railroad authorities. The city claims
that it is a public highway, while the rail-
road company said it was private pro-
pertv. A few nights ago the authorities
said they would break down the fence
but were prevented by the railroad keep
ing a train running over the crossing.
Street Commissioner Rollins headed a
gang of laborers this morning and with
axe and crowbars soon demolished the
distractions. Henry street was then
opened. 1t is not known what the rail-
road will do, but if they attempt to put
another fence there will be trouble.
