Church of .Metuchen. and the Rev.
Nicholas Wiers of the M. r..
Church at Midtown, have been
carrying on a war of words in the news

item in the Metuchen Inquirer recently
which stated that Rector Roche was
among those who participated in trippine

The Rev. Mr.. Wier5 straightway rushed

The Rev. MI. Roche in his reply does
not deuy that he did dance. though those
who attended the bail say that he only
danced in a square dance.

The Death of Mr.. Blaine.


The close of the career of James G..
Blaine is an anti-climax of dis
astrous kind. He lived to be no
longer useful, even to his party. after
he had earned the general fear and
distrust of all his fellow countrymen,
The last public act of his life was OF a
nature to force from the members of
his own party the confession that all
the charges made against him by his
and their political adversaries were
true.
Mr.. Blaine was a man of brilliant
parts, but it cannot be said that lie
has contributed a single permanent or
valuable idea to- american politics or
left behind a single lasting memorial
of his life work. He was the in%carnate
representative of all that was evil in
post-bellum republicanism, and the
dazzling character of his talents only
made the gloom of his principles the
more mournful by contrast.
Mr.. Blaine's name will soon fade
upon the page of history. 1t will pass
into the category of painful misdirec-
tions with those of STAFFORD, Boiling
broke, Hastings, Castlereagh and
Burr. For the moment, the truth is
obscured by the tinge of pathos in the
fiasco of a career which displayed ele-
ments so nearly approaching genius,
but in a little while it will be recog-
nized that the death of Mr.. Blaine is
really a blessing and a relief and a
security to the American people.

Newark,s water stupidity.

INC . obC1
At a meeting of the Newark Street
and Water Board. last Friday, Chair
man Harlan of the Water Committee
made the following either dishonest
or idiotic remarks
Isee by the newspapers that Jersey City is at
its old game again. They are trying to get New
ark water for nothing, but 1 don't believe that
the Essex county Democratic members of the
Legislature will allow any highway robbery, for
il means nothing less. | have a little motion
here which / wish to Offer THAT the Newark
members of the Legislature be instructed to use
&il honorable means to prevent any measure
from becoming a law which is calculated to in
terfere with Newark's new water supply"
Either Mr.. Harlan is n of the
stupidest men alive Oh else he knows:-
~ That Jersey City is not seeking
to get Newark's water for nothing.
() That it is not seeking to get any
water for nothing.
(31 That it is not seeking to get
Newark's water at all.

things perfectly we'll.

the water which Newark has expressly
bargained away and made over to the
East Jersey Water Company until the
year 1900. 1t is water which Newark
does not want, and could not have, ii
she did want it, except by paying a
special price for it just the same as
Jersey City.
We believe he knows that we do not
want to get this water for nothing.
He must know that we want to pay
for it such fair price as may be fixed
by a legal proceeding expressly ar
ranged for in the bill which Mr.. Har-
Ian so ignorantly and ridiculously
opposes.
What is the grip this East Jersey
Water Company has on Newark's
public officials that it a muster

made to assert the rights of the peo-
pie against it?

1 must believe i the reality of He'll. Tn

| must believe in the reality of He'll. The
way of unrighteousness end in Hell. All
that Christ could do, consistent with my
moral freedom, He has done to provide a
means of safety. If a mothers love
could save him, 10 son would
be in Jail or suffer the
penalty of his misdoing. All that love
could do, was to send Jesus Christ into
the world, but love cannot save US from
the tremendous responsibility we hold OF
being free moral agents. He'll Is both a
place and a state. 1t was not made for
men. Christ tells us it was prepared for
the Devil and his angels, and that man
sjous in the skies are for men.
1.-THE essence of He'll is a state Of feel
ing of guilt, and Of separation from God.
The Scriptures teach the reality of He'll.
"When | read of the wickednesS of
men, and, alas, of women, too, who are
fienos incarnate, who for the sake of a
few dollars tempt men to ruin and break
up happy homes, l say there must be
some place of commensurate punishment.
The violation of every natural law brings
a punishment. If we disregard the law
of gravitatiou, we fall and suffer injury
or death: if we have no prudence, we suf-
fer loss; if we neglect to prepare for bus.s
ness, we are at disadvantage; if we trans
gress the laws of physical health, the re-
suit is the loss of health. If GOD visits a
violation of these avs with punishment,
will he not punish the breaking of his
moral and spiritual law? AS we study
the word of God, we are compelled to adj
nit that hell is a reality. But He SO
loved the world that He gave his only
begotter Son that whosoever believeth
on Him should not perish but have ever
lasting life. To this He invites us ALL"

Judge Hudspeth's Opportunity.

Judge Hudspeth's Opportunity.
Judge Hudspeth has, in the present
important era of his life, an oppor-
tunity such as comes to few men. He
has an opportunity of making for
himself, on easy terms, a reputa-
ton of the most exalted charac-
ter. So far he has been a poll
tician and an advocate. He has
been shrewd and skillful, active and
energetic, honorable and scrupulous
in both capacities. But h~enceforward
it will be his privilege to exercise a
higher range of faculties, to walk in a
finer atmosphere, and to win a fame
which men hold higher than any that
can be won in the struggle and tu-
multi of political life.
Judge Hudspeth has some shining
examples set conspicuously before
him of the honors he may win. The
fame of Judge Knapp is too recent to
be in any degree dimmed; the splen-
did record of Judge Lippincott is a
present living reality; the indepen-
dence and high probity of the last oc-
cupant of the Supreme Court Bench
in this County made an impression in
a few short months which led to the
highest honor that the State affords.
1t is open to Judge Hudspeth to write
down his name as long as his memory
shall last on the same scroll on which
is written the story of these. in a
sense, his forerunners.
To make this mark for himself, the
Judge must. from the outset, discover
himself from all political alliances.
OF course he will remain a democrat,
but he should cease to be a politician.
OF course he will remain grateful to
those who have helped him on in his
career, but his loyalty to them in no
way requires that he should remain a
party to their schemes. H%enceforth.
SO long as he sits upon the Bench. h
good of the people, the interests of
Justice, the administration of the law
should be his sole concern. The rival
ries of faction, the ambitions of indi-
viduals, and the jealousies of sections
should be far foreign to his mind and
heart. This was the attitude of Judge
Knapp, who was al good a democrat
as ever lived; this is the attitude OF
Judge Lippincott, who was a very
big figure as a politician before he be-
came a judge. Ascending the Bench,
they left party behind. Let Judge
Hudspeth do the same, and he will
presently stand as high as theyin the
esteem and regard of the people.
