Five Hundred Dollars Ia Prizes.

The New York Mail and Express
wants to hear from the wage earners of
the country on the tariff question. They
made known their views rather emphatic-
ally at the ballot box In 1883, when Ben
jamin Harrison and Grover Cleveland
were before them as Presidential candi-
dates, and we feel certain that they will
vote the same way next November. The
question now, as four years ago, Is, Shall
the American or foreign workigman sup
ply the American MARKET Are you for
America against the world, or for the
world against America2
Ever wage Garner employed In indus
trial pursuits knows to what extent his
income is affected by the tariff, and his
home life made better or worse. We
want him to tell the story--to let the
British free traders among us know why
he demands and should have adequate
protection against the pauper labor OF
foreign countries. The Mail md En-

1T is fact now universally conceded
by the best informed authorities that the
new No. high arm family sewing ma
chine, of the Wheeler s. Wilson Manufac-
turing Company, embodies the best de-
vices of the most skillful inventors, and
combines the best results of expensive
and long continued experiments to pro-
duce a perfect machine, superior to all
others now before the public in point Of
ease, rapidity and precision of action,
uniformity of tension and perfection Of
seam. Over one hundred of these ma
chimes have been sold in this city and
vicinity in the last eighteen months, and
every one has given satisfaction. This
certainly ought to influence any one in.

Fonrth pIstrlot convention.

The Republican Congressional District
Convention was held at Phillipsburg yes
terdsy.
John s. Gibson, Esq, of Dover, was
made Chairman, with Vice Presidents
from each county. Judson Horn, of
Ringoes, acted for Hunterdon. N. w.
Voorhees,, Esq, Of Clinton, was Chair
man of the Hunterdon delegation.
An excellent platform was adopted, and
the convention proceeded to nominate a
candidate.
Capt. Van Blarcom, Of Sussex Chas.
A. skillman and J. T. Cox, OF Hunterdon,
and Captain Howey, of Warren, were
named. The first ballot showed large
majority for Capt. HOwey, and before the
vote was announced he was unanimously
declared to be the nominee of the Conven-
tion.
Mr.. Howey was escorted to the plat
form and made becoming and modest
speech, accepting the nomination.
The Convention was enthusiastic, and
there appeared TO be general inclination
to pull off coats and work for the election
OF the candidate.

The Outlook for Candidate Kean.

Out OF the list OF four candidates whose
names we're presented to the Republican
State convention held at Trenton yester-
day, the delegates selected as Guberna-
torial nominee the strongest man perhaps
Of the quartette who sought the honor.
Mr.. John Kean is a politician OF resources.
His relations with his party leaders are
most cordial. He enters into the contest
free from any political family entangle-
ments. No animosities attended the con-
vention's choice. The attempt to make
1t appear that Mr.. Kean is the beneficiary
OF General Sewell's political power will
not serve its intended purpose, for 1t is
known aud was known many days before
the convention assembled that Mr.. Kean
had the support of a great majority of the
delegates. No wing OF the party serious
ly attempted to head off his almost certain
nomination. Hence 1t is that Mr.. Kean
enters the campaign with the undivided
and enthusiastic support of the Republi-
cans OF the State. This is an important
matter.
Besides The suspicious conditions set
out above, the Republicans enter the Cam
paign armed with trenchant weapons OF
assault, fashioned with elaborate care by
an enemy that has proved as short sighted
as II is Vulnerable. The Democrats OF
New Jersey, headed by small band of
power-seeking leaders blinded with spec
ulative schemes, have been led into the
commission of acts which have outraged
not only the public sense OF right and JUS
tice and liberty, but have offended the
American sentiment of Home Rule and
popular administration.
The platform adopted by the convention
is an arraignment Of the Democratic party
Of this State, so scathing and yet so true
that It win be strange indeed II it shall not
exert tremendous influence upon the
voters OF New Jersey who are not slaves
to party. The great reform worked by
the Criminal Court of Jersey City In the
methods OF conducting elections in Hud-
son County, and the apparent dissolution
OF the combination Of Democratic leaders
will likely prove potent factors in the ele-
ments which will increase the prospects
OF Republican success. These things
taken altogether give promise of turn In
tho tide Of political affairs In New Jersey.

mo travelling manager on this side Of

value of scenery and accessories in the
proper productions OF the drama than Mr..

to the proper and thorough production Of
his plays must be perfect before this

the piece public production. To-day
his company of metropolitan players car
ries more special scenery than any three
companies of the kind in America. 1t Is
painted by new process which reduces
its weight and bulk to one-third of that Of
ordinary scenery and also prevents it
from getting old or worn in appearance.
No other travelling Star has ever been will
ing to involve the labor. pains and ex-
pense OF such production

the N. Y. production. Seats on sale at

We think the committee OF council
that has.the licensing Of shows, etc., need
to do little thinking before licensing some
OF the affairs that visit this city. Take as
an example the ''merry -go-round" that
has just closed months work here. 1t
is said that the proprietors have taken
over thousand dollars away from this
town in profits. This money comes from
the comparatively poor Of the town and
represents that much taken from the busi-
ness shops and storekeepers, to which II
would otherwise have gone in all proba-
bility. Besides, tho s'merry-go-round"
drew together night after night, large
numbers OF young girls aud boys and a
class of rough people, and none of the
surroundings were calculated to improve
the manners or morals OF those who spent
their evenings there. 1t was democrat
izIng affair as conducted and the town Is
better off without such things.
Another Objectionable feature Of licens-
ing Is the cheap rate fixed for s'cheap"
theatrical and other companies that stay
week or more. They are nuisances and
are made up Of people without ability or
character, and the fewer, also, we have Of
these, the better we are off.
Ia n. L. -
est companies the least and the better
companies the most. There ought to be
discrimination in this respect the other
way. Entertainments of an elevating
character, given by perscns Of standing 10
their profession, should be encouraged to
come by nominal charges, while the low
and vulgar show should be refused license
or taxed so heavily 1t cannot afford TO
pay II.
