WATER AND TALK.
Elite Literary Circle Hears the Pros and
Cons of a New Supply.

Elite Literary Circle Hears the Pros and
Cons of a New Supply.
The Elite Literary Circle met on Satur-
day evening at the residence OF Mr.. j.
Francis Byrne, No. 90 Pearsasl avenue,
and discussed the important question
whether Jersey City should have a new
water supply.
Messrs. A. A. LANCER and J. F. Byrne
argued in the affirmative. while j. +.
Peters and John sullivan argued for the
negative. Mr.. Byrne's arguments won
for him the commentator of the judges,
and helped much to get the decision for
the alternatives.
"fhat our present water supply is
wholly Unfit Tor use, no resident OF jersey
City will deny" said he. 1.-The water
question Is the question of the hour, aud
it is the duty of every citizen to interest
himself in it and urge whatever plan he
thinks best for the relief Of u suffering
citizens. AS the water of the Pessaic is
today it cannot be filtered 50 that it
would be safe for MS to use it. The refuse
matter which is dumped into it by the
numerous factories along the shore front
makes it impossible to properly purify it.
1t cannot be done. We must have a new
supply, if we wish to secure better water"
Mr.. j. f. Peters in arguing in the
negative ~said:-''The Passaic water is
perfectly safe. 1t is not destructive to
health. The reason why The water is so
filthy is because the reservoirs and the
conduits are not clean. 1t these were
cleaned we would have better water.
The water can also be improved by the
construction of another water main
across the H~ackensack meadows SO as TO
increase the supply Of Passaic water in
this oity.V

RANSOM AGAINST MILLS.
The Prohibition Editor Wants
Bishop Starkey 10 Discipline
the Citrate Of st. Marks.

The wrath Of Editor Stephen B. Ran
som of The Mirror against the Rev. w.
Writ Mills, curate of st. Marks Episcopal
Churck, continues undated. IL this
weeks edition, Mr.. Ransom lashes his
clerical adversary with great emerge and
fervor. This is what he says
A QUEER CASE.
Very many members of the Protestant
Churches and Catholic, too, were surprised at
the statement of Writ Mills in last weeks Mirror.
Episcopalians, have called at this office to see If
it is really true. and when shown the letter, they
declared he must be out Of his mind or he would
never have written such a thing Several
Episcopal clergymen when asked if Mr.. Mills
had not wandered from the Episcopal Church
belief, said he had; that their church was called
Protestant Episcopal and that only. There APP

many to have got too high, that it was really
Romen Catholic. The only thing omitted now
that would bring it TO the Roman Catholic
when he first came TO this city introduced the
High Church orIer of service, and as he has
grown older he has come to love more and
more forms In the worship Of God. Mr.. Mills
left Grace Church because he believed in the
Church service, and SO accepted the curacy
In st. Marks. He has taken to the advanced
thoughts of the rector, aud they have been SO
deep and serious that bordering over them has
brought a leo1 on his face as one devoid of
cheeriulness.
An Episcopal clergyman once declared openly
that Bishop Starkey was allowing too much
liberty to this rector, and many members of
Grace and st. Matthew'S declare it is entirely
Roman Catholic and should be called to account
for the divergence. The rector should know
whore he stands. If he antagonizes Protestant
ism, he Should acknowledge it like a man AMI
a Roman Catholic give him an opportunity at
once of getting where he belongs.

ST. BRIDGE9'S LYCEUM
Distinguished Guests to At
tend the Opening Cere-
monies on Feb
ruarY |.

Much has been said concerning that
handsome building on Montgomery
street, opposite St. Bridget's Church,
which stands Oh the corner Of Brunswick
street. The good people of Father Corr's
parish know that the building is the new
home OF st. BridGet's Lyceum. and also
know that it is a monument TO the in
dustry and perseverance of Father Corr
| and a small haud of earnest workers.
The building, which is u of the hand
| soonest in the city, has been completed Tor
some time, aud just why the formal open
ing was not held. could not be imagined.
Father Corr Is President of the Lyceum,
and when members asked him the cause
of the delay, his only answer was, wait
and see."
The delay is now understood, as it has
become known that the opening OF st.
Bridget's Lyceum will be attended by
some of the shining lights of the country
and many of the most prominent men of
the State.
The opening will take place on Wednes-
day evening, February /. Owning TO the
fact that the Lyceum building would mo-
accommodate the hundreds OF people VINO
will attend the ceremony, it has been de-
cided to utilize the new school hall on
Mercer street.
DISTINGUISHED GUESTS.
Through the influence OF Senator-elect
James Smith, Jr., of Newark, Congress
man Bourke Cochran of New York has
signiied his willingness to be present at
the opening of the Lyceum and address
the as-embIa2e. Ex-Secretary OF the
Navy Whitney will also be present and
will make an address. Bishop Wigger
will be an honored guest. he Will prob
ably preside. Addresses will also be
made by the Rev. Thomas Donohue OF
ST, Thomas Aguinas' Church of Brook
lyu, and Senator James Smith, Jr. such
eminent gentlemen as, Governor
Werts, Ex-Governor Albeit, Chancel-
Tor McGill, Allan L. McDermott,
Mayor Wanser. exMayor Collins
and ex-Mayor c. H. O'Neiii have also
signifed their intention to be present. AT
the conclusion of the ceremonies in the
school hall, the guests will be invited TO
inspect the Lyceum building, and in the
meantime the school hall will be cleared
for dancing. A full orchestra has been
engaged, and Father Corr has done all in
his power to make the event n memorable
one in the history of the city.
A ROYAL FEAST.
ARRANGEMENTS nave been made to have
about eight hundred suppers served by
Mazzetti OF New York. Th whole upper
floor of the school building will be- con-
verified into a dining hall. The celebrities
dine in q room set apart for them. The
general throng will occupy the remainder
of the space. Father Corr's idea in hav-
irg supper served in the building is to
prevent dancers from going out and
catching cold. Pastor Corr is super
intending the whole affair. The deco
rations will be elaborate and an exceed
ingly pleasant time will certainly be had
oy everyone fortunate enough to be per-
mitted 70 participate.

wives, Rights and Duties.

The Rev. I. J. Kommers preached in
the Lafayette Reformed Church last even
ing on "The Duties of Wives" His text
was from Ephesians v. 3d.
"Wives love your husbands, even as
Christ so loved the church and gave Him
self for it +" Mr.. Kommers spoke of the
holiness of the marriage VOW. lie said
sMarriage is to the husband, as music
between the acts. To the wife it is the
whole play. The grandest place on earth
Is the home. The most powerful and
most blessed influences come from the
nome. The business of man and wife is
TO make q happy home. Each should
strive to please the other. There should
be no quarrels. II one is hasty and pos
| sibly angry, let the other remain cool and
loving. If this was done, over half of tue
| so-called family quarrels would be avoid
ed.
"The business of man is to labor for his
| wife and children. Woman is the real
home maker. The home is Woman's
| sphere. Her usefulness can make the
home O heaven on earth. The husband
trusts his home to you. 1t is the place of
! his rest and che place of his refuge. or
that you are the keeper. Ii some hus-
bands do not stay at nome, the reason,

shonld remember the old adage, that

self. Allow no outside interference.

wife. Not only cherish love In your heart,
but loneliness in word and also.

The Hab;tual Fa,,lt Finder.

Various private citizens seem TO
think that, by Incorporating them
selves into Improvement" or "eiti-
zens'n associations, they acquire some
sort of right to the time and the SER
vices of public officials, and they com
plain bitterly if these do not lay aside
all their own business, pubic and
private, to make inquiries, investiga-
lions and researches, draw up papers
of all sorts, answer all sorts OF ques-
tions and solve all sorts of problems
services which those interested should
in reality employ doctors and lawyers
and clerks to perform for them at
their own expense.
The clerks of the various boards,
the lawyers of the city, the city ply
s;cians and municipal officials are all
paid to do the work designated by
the charter of the city and ordered by
its various governing boards. Citi-
zens singly or in groups have no claim
on their time or their labor. 1t is
true that almost every city employe
is willing to accommodate the public
to the utmost of his power with in
formation and advice, but when he
does SO outside the strict line OF his
official duty, it is a matter offavor, not
of right.
The habit of censuring this. that,
and the other, person because he is
not willing to devote himself gratui-
tousIy to other peoples affairs, is, to
say the least, unjust and unreasonable,
and it would be a very good thing If
some of the habitual f~ault-fnders
would cultivate a little moderation.
Some of them are not over famous
thepselves for working gratis in the
p/lic interest.

The Root of the EVIL Which Has Pro-
duced stagnation In Trade.
The greatest drawback still is the pro-
tecIive system introduced in 1879 by Bis
marck, formerly au ardent freetrader.
First. it has made life dearer by plum
deripg the masses for the benefit of the
few, because even If the wages have
risen, as Is maintained but not proved,
they have notthe same purchasing power;
then by excluding foreign it has increased
the internal competition and led
to over-productinn: while other States
raising their tariffs equally have render
ed more difficult the access of their mar
kets TO German products. Therefore in-
dustry and trade are in q state OF stagna-
tiou- The manufacturers endeavor TO
mitigate this evil by forming trusts
limiting the production and Distributing
the provision of customers by a sort of
rotation. But the worst is that il the
trusts really succeed in certain branches
they monopolize the prices, maintaining
them at the level procured by the pro-
tective duties and realizing the whole
premium accorded by such duties. The
root of the evil is the artificial fostering
of industry and agriculture by Irotec-
ton, n the only cure lies in attacking

Governor Albeit and the Water
Question.

Governor ADUStb duu ChO HHcCA
Question.
If the Legislature in its wisdom sees
fit to realize Governor Werts' idea OF
establish ing a State Commission to
preside over the potable waters of the
State, we would suggest that it would
be eminently practical and proper TO
place Ex-Governor Albeit at the head
of the Commission.
The position could directly add
nothing in the way of honor to Gov
1rnor Abbett's career, but in the OPP
portunity it would afford him of do
ing the people one more splendid SER
vice. of becoming the head and leader
of one of the greatest works ever I'M
dertaken by the State. it would
doubtless be congenial to him. He
would, doubtless, before relinquishing
the work, find the occasion, once
more to write himself down in
the history of the State as a
benefactor of the people. There is no
probability that the place would be
one of large emolument. We believe
the old State Water Commission was
merely paid some fees which barely
covered the expenses of membership;
but. of course, this consideration
would have no weight with Governor
Albeit. The only thing that could
tempt him to accept the post would
be the opportunity of performing a
great public work, which it would at
ford.
AS for Governor Abbett's qualifica-
tions for the pos t, they are altogether
unusual. To speak of the Governors
Energy and aggressiveness would be
co be trite. The fact TIL at he has
made a special study of the whole
water question. both legally and
economically, is almost equally well
known. The passage from his an
ndal Message OF 1892, which Governor
Werts quoted in his Inaugural Adj
dress. shows that he holds the most
advanced ideas regarding the rights
of the people in this most vital neces-
sitv. The Message deals at much
greater length with the water ques-
ton. and there is enough embodied
in the utterancas there to show that
the subject is no new n to the x
Governor.
The Governors eminent position
would give a dignity and Importance
to the Commission which could hardly
be secured in any other way. His
skill as a lawyer would be invaluable
in guiding it to the settlement OF the
great questions of constitutional law
and fundamental equity, which will
arise the moment it begins to act.
His executive ability, and his deter
mination will lend vigor and efficiency
ia its proceedings. His record on all
matters where the interests OF the peo-
nIe come in conflict with those OF
monopolies is an absolute guarantee
that the great interest involved wouid
la safer in his hands than in those of
any other man in the State.
We very respectfully urge the con-
s~;,leration of this suggestion upon
Governor Werts. We urge it upon
c,overnor Albeit, himself, 20 whom,
We uppose it has never occurred

THE following from the Newark
Sunday Call will appeal to everyone
who has watched the Kaleidoscope
series of portraits of President Adrain
of the Senate. that has appeared in the
various papers of this and adjacent
States
For the sake of truth in history 1t should be
said that President Adrain, of the New Jersey
Senate, is not the desperate rufian represented
by a portrait labeled with his name in the DdfLu
Advertiser, nor vet is he the melancholy dude
pictured in the Philadelphia Record. The Pres
ident of the Senate Is really a person of great
physical charm. heightened, though not carica-
tured, by sclupulous fidelity to fashion in dress.
1t is to be lamented that when New jersey
possesses SO attractive a personality in a posi-
ton of such prominence, it should not receive
full credit for the lovely product of its native
soil.
Those who have the advantage Of
knowing the doughty Colonel will be
especially gratifed at this v~indication
of his personal appearance.
