1,et Mayor wanser Alone.

Everything that is honorable and
wise in the Democratic party in this
city most heartily approves the policy
of Governor Werts in refusing to sane
ton the robbery from Mayor Wan
ser of the faculties entrusted to him
by the people. True democrats de-
plore the election of Mayor Wanser or
any other republican. They believe
that the election of Allan L. McDer-
mott would have been by far the best
thing for the people of jersey City.
But every honest and far-seeing
democrat not only thinks it is just
and right that Mayor Wanser should
be allowed to do all that the people
elected him to do, but also regards it
as wiser to allow the people to see
what Republican control of the city
government will ultimately lead to.
This may be said with certainty: II
the Democracy takes power away
from Mayor Wanser now, it will be
blamed not only for everything that
goes wrong for the next four years, but
also for a thousand imaginary crimes.
1t may heap up benefits on the people
and the people will find an offence in
every one of them.
In a word, we believe, as a matter
Of pure politics, that any serious as
sault on Mayor Wanser by the present
Legislature will make it impossible
for the Democracy to carry this city
again in ten years.

"LlGRT ON THE POINT"
Successful Meloarama Brings a Crowd
to the Opera House.

Successful Meloirama Brings a Crowd
to the Opera House.
The new Opera House last night was
crowded by an audience that desired to
see the four act melodrama, "The Light
ON the Point" The play twas cordially
received, and while not being of the high
est order, proved to be sufficiently inter-
esting to probably attract a large house
each night this week. 1t is as full OF
plot as the most exacting would ask, and
the schemina villain, the loving heroine,
and the bold. dashing hero last night
did not permit the interest in 1t to dag.
The story on which the play is ounded
is a simple one, but one that affords the
widest range tor dramatic effect. A girl
child was lost at sea, rescued by a light
house Keeper, educated by him.and proved
to be an heiress. a william discovered her
history and tried to marry her tor her
fortune. but was frustrated by the hero,
who proved to be a cousin of the heiress,
and who wons her heart and fortune.
The leading part last night was taken
by Fred Hardy. who played the character
of Jack Mitchell, the hero. L. p. Hicks
made a clever villain. and Captain Ben
Washburn, the lighthouse keeper, had
Justice done him by K. V. Hockin. Miss

MINkAKWA SMOKER.

The Minkakwa Club of GreenvilIe held a very
successful stag smoker last evening at the club
house, on Ocean avenue. The feature of the
evening was a whist tournament, in which Mr..
Peter Decker, the clubs champion, captured
first prize-ive pounds of frankfurters. Mr..
Theodore Smith was second best. He received
a pound of schweitZer kaSe.
The club rooms were crowded, and every COM
fort was prepared for the members. Commits
sioner Michael Schultz, jr., offciated as master
of ceremonies, and his bright witticisms kept
the company in excellent humor.
Professor Ceiling played dulcimer solos and
James F.. Lane played on almost every conceiy
able instrument from a harmonicon to a Chinese
fiddle. The committee to whom the success o.
the affair is due consisted of Messrs. r. F,
Brown ell, Charles Reilly and Theodore Smith.
Among the guests were Commissioner Reuben
Simpson, j.. Boyd, William Baskerville. Theo
dore Wegman, Charles Merker, Michael anC
Henry Gonsor, W. Caleb Dunn, William H. Arm

The Democracy's Complete Control.
Providence is kind to the Repub-
lican party even in the hour OF IFS de-
feat. The dearest wish OF its mos
earnest adherents-as loudly pro-
claimed by the party organs-is to be
realized. The United States Senate
is to be Democratic. The policy rep
resented by Grover Cleveland is to
have a full trial, since during at least
two years, the Democracy will hold
the undivided control of the Federal
Government.
Nobody will grudge the Republicans
this poor consolation in their hour OF
humiliation. They eagerly grabbed
at it the day after the Presidential
Election, and they have chung to
it ever since like a drowning man
to a straw. To be Ire some bad
men. who have not the true spirit OF
Republicanism in their hearts, have
been c~onspiring and scheming to rob
them of this sorry comfort and the
Democrats of their rights at the same
time, bat the true simon pure Repub-
licans, including the Tribune, must
not be blamed for this, for they have
been shouting that they wanted to
make a present of the Senate to the
Democrats, and, of course, they would
not tell a lie.
The much coveted result is made
certain by the issue of the Senatorial
election in Kansas. The choice
of Judge Martin from that State
gives the Democracy just half
the Senate with three States
to hear from. Even if they all go
Republican, the Democracy still con-
trolls the body through the casting
vote of the Vice President. The party,
besides, is wholly independent of any
aid from Populist Senators, should
the Populist party show any signs OF
-permanence.
This control of the entire machinery
OF legislation entails several import
ant consequences. PROFESSIONALLY,
the Federal election laws will be re-
pealed, and John l. Davenport and
all his vicious crew will be wiped out
of existence. Bounty and pension
laws will be modified, so far as posi-
BILE, and the expenditures Of the Ma
tional Government will be brought
down to a basis of reasonable econ
omy. The tariff will certainly be
modified to accord with Democratic
ideas; that is to say, in the direction
of lessening the burdens on American
All these things are GER
tain.
The complete control of the gov
eminent brings with it. also, serious
responsibilities. The first of these is
to make the reforms specified above.
The second and hardly less weighty
one is to make them cautiously and
conservatively, and to avoid impair
ing the prosperity Of the country by
sudden changes or rash experiments.
The Republican party gave us an
era of extremism with disastrous re-
suits to itself and much injury to the
country. The Democracy with such
an example before it, should be able
to steer clear of the same peril.

sEcoR ROBESoN's DINNERS.

George M. Robson. ex-Secretary OF the Navy
under President Grant, who is one OF the classic
figures of Trenton, has set the quiet little town
on its ears somewhat by his Saturday afternoon
The ex-Secretary has always been a good liver,
but he makes these dinners particularly inter-
esting, because he is himself a frSt-class cook.
1t is currently stated that there 10 no one in the
United States who can put up a dish OF terrapin
like the ex-Secretary. He is living q quiet life
IN these days, occupying q furnished house a
few hundred ards from the State House.
He has a suite of rooms adjoining the resi-
dence and on the door hangs a narrow tin sign
bearing Just the words George M. Robeson, :
and nothing more. The sign looks the WORSE for
wear and it has been the ex-secretary's shingle
for many wears. He would rather part with
some of his library than lose that sign. He has
picked up considerable practice since he came
here and he is now the authorized New Jersey
counsel Of several corporations, among them the
Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad. His wife and
daughter are now in europe, where they have
spent the better part of the past ten years.
