CONFERENCE ECHOES.
A Notable Session in Many
Ways Humorous and
Other Features.

And now that the ''ageny" of it-long
drawn QUITS at end, and nobody is more
grateful than the newspaper reporters,
who were kspt On the Qasi Uive from start
to finish, calm review of the proceed
ings of the thirty-sixth session Of the
Newark Annual Conference offers some
food for reflection which the "hurry-
scurry" of the proceedings would not
permit. 10 begin with, the Conferences
was characterized by good nature and
good breeding throughout. and while
there was much log-roliing, what was
done could be finished up by u political
conven tion in halt the time-whicn shows
the difference between ciergymen and
poiiticiansl But, then, the differences is
marked, too, In mere ways than that.
NOTABLE FEATURES.
OF the many features. probably the
most notable was the air OF quiet enthus-
iasm-which was almost earnestness--
which marked the proceedings. Then
the digniiied bearing Of the presiding Of
ficer, Bishop Fitzgerald, whose thorough
grasp and rp pastefy Of the situation showed
the years of training and education in the
Church which have resulted In his reach
ing the high odlce he has attained.
THROUGHOUT he was impartial, clear
OF the work which came before the Ses-
sion was In secret, the capitalization Of
such work seemed to be as fully at his
command as were the muscles OF his hand.
GOOD PARLIAMENTARIANS.
Every member OF tne Conference, too,
seemed to be thorough master of the
rules governing parliamentary bodies,
and while there were motions, substi-
tutes, etc., no acrimonious debate marred
the harmony of the entire session. But
that harmony was several times threaten
cd when efforts were made to OTrevive the
Lowndes- -Kusseil-Craig controversy, but
the good sense of the Conference showed
itself when the several attempts were
comhatted, and the matter was finally
thrown out, ana is even down on The
journal without note or comment. Z"
SOME HUMOROUS FEATURES.
Nor was the Conference Without its
humorous features. Tobacco and rum
received the usual denunciation, yet
when a reporter asked one Of the clergy
men for copy Of last years minutes ne
was told to 60 to certain place in the
church and get enc out OF the clergy

Which Are Trying,

and hence inadequate standards of 1udg-
menf, may more or less weaken criticl5m&
but, ii The critics can assign reason exs
terror to themselves, their dictum is at
once removed from the category of nero
opinion.
Mean while, let us remember (what most
persons obviously forget) that criticism
is not merely fault-hnding, says the De-
trout Free Press. 1t should seek
10 discover the good as well as the
vicious In art and it should be able to
suggest cure for error. 1t ought to ba
clear enough that the critic should stand
in a naturally analytical mental attitude
to begin with; but before his utterances
become entitled TO respect he must baye
been a diligent student, hard worker
and playgoer Of large experience. 10
crown all, he cannot be depended on un-
less endowed with the judicial tenlpera-
ment. or unless circumstances have
placed him in position of Indifference to
the players.
The critic is confronted by three di-
yergent forces-duty to his journal, faltn
with the public, aud absolute Justice to
the player and playwright. A lifetime
is not too long in which TO learn the
critics trade.

And it is in the districts controlled
by Mr.. Davis, pure and simple, that
the catastrophe is worst; it is
his personal candidates that the blow
especially descends.

Mr.. Davis stiletto, wins a glorious
victory. The leadership of Mr.. Nc
Laughlin is triumphantly vindicated.
He is the man who can win victories.
And John Parnell Feeney did not
hurry back from Florida for nothing.
For Mr.. Allen, we have the pro-
foundest sympathy. He deserved to
win on his own merits; but the load
was too great. With the iniquities of
the Bad Legislature laid on his
shoulders and the Bad Boss of that
Bad Legislature lurking behind his
coat tails, how could he win. Per-
sonally, Mr.. Allen has the
respect of all, and many re-
grets will attend his retirement

him-but what could we do with the

Davis carnival of corruption to
handicap us.
As for Mr.. Simpson. we believe he
will make a good, wise and useful
official. We believe he will, like
Mayor Wanser, justify the peoples

For the first time in the history of Bel
giurn, the principle of a monetary COM
pensa tion for breach of promise has just
been established. The judges OF the
conrt Of appears were grndging in their
admission OF the principle, but there 10
no doub5 as to the meaning OF their
Judgment. The test case was that OF a
young woman who. through her father,
brough breach Of promise action
against young Dutchman residing In
Brussels. The father obtained verdict
for $500 francs damages. plus 5000
francs for whaG was called moral
prejudice" In their judgment,
the Judges said that either of the two
parties TO an engagement might back

IN the case they had TO consider the we'd

NOW FOR PARTY REORGANIZATION

Mr.. Davis has had his way.
The Democracy of Hudson County
is overwhelmed with disaster.
He has had his little time as Boss.
He has dictated policy; he has con-
trclled legislation; he has made and
unmade captains; he has humiliated
men of honor and strength, and he
has erected into magnates the plant
tools who did his bidding and served
his personal purposes.
And this is the end of it.
The plot which he deliberately
wrought for the overthrow of Allan
L. McDermott is now confirmed, rati-,
fed. emphasized and made doubly
disastrous to the Democratic party.
There is one redeeming feature in
this political calamity. The disaster
falls with especial force upon the man
who dragged it down upon the party.
This campaign was Robert Davis
campaign. He chose the candidate
to head the ticket, and the greater
number of the minor candidates. He
direc.ed and engineered every detail
of it's operations. His men were in
active charge of it. Upon no other
individual, upon no other branch or
wing or faction OF the Demo cracy,

APhilosophical Remark.

Herbert Spencer once began game OF
billiards at the club with q young man.
The philosopher started the ivories, and
left them in good position. Then the
young fellow, who was an expert, ran out
the game without allowing another shot
to his opponent. The philosopher took
his hat, but before going he said: Sir,
moderate proficiency in SUCH sport Is
sign OF good education; such mastership,
however, as you exhibit is the proof OF
an ill-spent YOUTH"
