right to decide whether or not it should
cease to exist. Notices of the meeting
were not sent to all the members, aud |
do not think the matter should have been

"that the LADIES' Auxiliary will be re-
organized. The story published in the

real cause was that the few ladies who
were present at the last meeting became
discouraged because the other members

work to do in their different Churches,

what Mr.. smith said in 1891.

w n al MT. 6LlILn 6dl0 Ala Ao0A
We reprint on our first page today
a portion of an interview had by a
Newark reporter with Mr.. James
Smith, Jr., on the 30th day of June,
1891, and published in THE JERSEY
Cry NEWS and the New York World
of July 1.
Nobody who reads this can regard
it as anything but a pledge of sup
port to Governor Albeit for the
United States Senatorship. Spoken
by one Democratic leader concerning
another, it can take on no other
meaning. By his expressions in 1t,
Mr.. Smith raises the bars against
himself. There can be no honorable
way for him to enter the contest or
allow himself to be placed in it as a
rival to Governor Albeit, after these
expressions
What you have said, Mr.. Smith" the re-
porter put in, sis 10 answer to the rumor we
have heard lately that you are a Senatorial pos
sibility yourself?"
Yes, sir. have said that, in my belief; Coy
ernor Albeit will be the next United STATES
Senator from New Jersey"
In our belief, Mr.. Smith will stick
to his word. We believe he will think
it both more honorable and better
policy to refuse all temptations to ac-
cept an honor to which another man
has a better title. Like Mr.. Smith,
we believe Governor Albeit will be
the next United States Senator from
New Jersey, and we believe Mr..
Smith will help him get there.

ALBEIT AND THE PEOPLE.

Shall we listen to the voice of the De-
mocracy Of the Union, shall we place on
our banners the name of the man OF their
choice. the man in whom they believe, or
shall we for any considerations or policy
or expediency hesitate to obey their will?-
From Leon Abbett's Great Speech. Nonst-
natinq GrOUer Cleveland.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1893-01-12
Governor Abbett,s message.

Governor Abbettis message was
chiefly remarkable for the fact that
the approaching contest for the
United States Senatorship furnished
not the slightest inspiration for it. A
smaller man than the Governor might
have made his last address to the
Legislature the means Of blowing his
own trumpet, with a view to estab-
fishing his own claims to the office,
and the honor which the Legislature
is SO soon to bestow. There is not a
trace of this in the message. 1t is, of
all the Governors public documents,
the calmest, the most dis~passionate,
the most rigid, in its limitation to the
strict requirements of the law.
The Governor reports upon the
condition of the State. He makes a
few modest suggestions-as becomes
an outgoing magistrate-and that is
all. Where honor is to be given, he
apportions it among the various Dem
ocratic State officials who have been
his colleagues and assistants in the
good work of the last three years. He
asks no recognition for himself, pre-
ferring to leave his personal record to
the Judgment of the people of the
State.
And yet every fact that the Gov
ernor reports to the Legislature is a
practical eulogy of his faithful and
able services. He found the finances
of the State in confusion three years
e There had been heavy losses in
the Sinking Fund and the School
Fund, and, owing to the extravaganza
of Republican Legislatures, which
appropriated money beyond the in
come of the State, Governor Albeit
and his administration had arrears of
debt and deficiency of funds to make
good from the outset. In spite of
this, the Governor reports $217, 532. IS
in the Treasury Of the State at the
close of the last fiscal year. There is
still due of the old War debt, 1887, 400;
but the State has assets available
which more than suffice to pay this
sum-a total amount, indeed, of
1922, 60s.40.
The fact that the State imposes no
direct tax. except for school purposes,
and that the liberal Democratic policy
has brought in tens of millions of
capital which increase the wealth of
the State and support its running
expenses is peculiarly honorable
to Leon Albeit, whose personal eff
forts have mainly brought that state
Of affairs about.
The Governor alludes to the benefits
which the farmers have received, and
are receiving, through the road legisla-
tion-of which, by the way, he was the
instigator; he touches on the progress
sive spirit of our public schools. and
be reports all the public institutions of
the State in unusually good condition.
All have been improved in facilities,
while nearly every n has been
sheapened in cost. All are harmoni-
ously and well managed on a business
like basis.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
lure of the message. all things con-
,idered, is that which covers the Read

meeting.
