To the Editor ct The Jersey City Neos:
The following is FROM Saturdays Jour

"Slr Julian Pauncsfote. it was said

pressed his. pleasure that they We're un-

''Thi Is cheering. Lat us be glad that
Her Majesty approves. That is what the
United States lives for, aud Grover is hel
Moses, who will lead her through the
wilderness of repuolicanism into the
promised land OF monarchy"
The efforts of d conscientious man at
the head of affairs of this great nation Is
of small import to the picayune Squibs
of journalists who at the expense of
petty spite OF party disappointment aud

man Co foster rings Of land grabosrs, in-
vesIers In. sealing enterprises, or silver
mine owners, and to legislate for their
special benefit or lend the army and navy
to flbustering expeditions.
He risks popular indignation based on
nisconception of facts, n stands like a
rock Of grepite against the splash aud
wash of calumy, fearless in the execution
or duty, whose path he will follow to thu
end of his term, and history will, 10 the
fuilness of time, accord him a page of
gold, as one of the very few men who
dis duty Irrespective Of consequences.
The cackler of Jersey City had
not the manliDess to state That
1871 or pa very previous British naval
officer thought of making himself Illus
trious by taking possession of Hawaii aud
hosting the British flag. He was gent
straight back with his ship and men who
had to haul down the British flag. It is
recorded he died on the island. Moses il

enforcer of right. The shaft of ridicule
bounds from Moses and strikes the Shy
lock of the Jersey City Journal.

of government they desire. Eaquiry has
proved that, however desiraDIs q true
Republic may be. their choice Is with

THE OLD TRICK.
enc Of Miss creveling's Boarders
Made Off With over $500 Worth
Of uotaes.

A young man of good appearance called
at the boarding house of Miss Creveling,
No. 1902 Mercer street, on Friday afternoon
and asked if there were any spare rooms
in the house. The youn z man, who intro
duced himself as Jacob Stern, said he la d
enquired at the Y M. @. A, directly
through from Miss Creveling's house,
and had been referred to her H ex-
planned that he was not over particular as
to the kind of a room he had. For refer
ence he mentioned the Western Union
Telegraph Company down town, and said
he had been employed by the company
for several years and they could attest to
his reliability and honesty. Miss Crevel-
ing, who is a demure and transporting
lady and whose experience with boarders
has been limited, answered that she had
a hall bedroom on the third floor hat was
at present unoccupied and If it was suit
able Mr. Stern might use it. He bowed
in acquiescence and asked permission to
spend the afternoon in the room reading.
Miss Creveling was willing and Stern was
shown the room. He proceeded to make
himself comfortable. The door of his
room he left open for convenience sake.
Next his room was q boarder named Kase
and his son. Contiguous to Kase's room
is one occupied by Professor Dillingham;,
a teacher In Ole o the night schools.
AS soon as Stern had conceived an idea
of his bearings he conc uded to make an
1nyestlg ton of the rooms on that floor.
Not knowing that the Professor sat in his
room perusing q newspaper. Stern pushed
his door open. In the room with the
Professor sat another boarder, who had
been c nversing prior to Stern's advent.
"Well?" asked Mr.. Dillingham;.
beg pardon, but can you tell me the
timer" said Stern, in excuse.
Ten minutes of two. Anything else?"
returned the Professor.
Nothing, thanks" and Stern bowed
himself out Stern. after Dillingham's
friend had left the room, prowled inside
kase's apartment, with the intention of
collecting everything of value he could lay
his hands on. The Professor, thinking he
heard Stern, walked across the floor and
stepped into the hall, but Stern had slid
back to his own room and lay outstretched
upon the bed, apparently asleep. billing
ham related the event at the tea table,
but nothing was thought further than the
oddity of it. Stern ate supper with the
rest and went to his room about seven
O'Clock. Twice during The night he was
heard to meander down stairs to the bath
room. in which there was a trunk with
valuable clothing in it. Each time he
remained about half an hour. When he
repaired to his room after the first trip
Miss Creveling went up to his room and
and found him on the bed with his
clothes on, ~feiRning to be asleep. She
shook him and he got up. She said she
guessed he must have been walking in his
sleep. He smiled and said he guessed he
did.
The next morning he left. Investiga>
ton showed that he had ransacked the
trunk and got over $500 worth of things
from the house. The police were notified.
At the Y.M.C.A building Miss Creveling
found that no such person had called at
the building.

There certainly never was a strike
which deserved less sympathy than
the present one On the Lshigh Valley
Railroad. 1t seems to be wanton as
to its motives in this respect that it is
based on grievances which have been
endured for months and which, even
granting their general validity, might
very we'll be borne until the state of
business and traffic was better than it
is today.
These are hard times, and a man who
has steady work and steady pay of
II sort is very lucky. There are
tens of thousands OF poor fellows who
would be glad to make five dollars a
week sweeping the streets, if they
could get it, and it is O wilful flying
in the face of Providence for men who
have good wages and fair average
treatment to abandon their employ
ment because they cannot get all the
frills aad trimmings which We hope
every workman will enjoy when the
millennium arrives.
Not only is this strike wicked and
foolish as respects the men themselves
and their employers, it has a special
cruelty on account of its prospective
effect on the price of coal. The bitter
winter is upon us, and it is going to
be a bitter winter indeed for the
poor families that cannot pay six
dollars a ton for coal. Yet the fell
lows, the brothers in toll of these poor
sifvering people are going to make
the winter still more bitter for them
by driving the price Of coal still
higher. This may be their notion of
1.-THE solidarity of the struggling
masses" about which labor orators
are so fond of talking. To the aver
age man it will look like cold and
wanton selfshness.
The worst of it all is the strikers
can gain nothing at this time. Rail
road strikes have been almost uni
formly unsuccessful the last few years.
Yet no other was undertaken at SO
unfavorable,a time as this. The clos
ing of the Chicago Fair has cut down
travel all over the country. Railroads
are uniformly reducing force. There
probably eve before were SO many
trained railroad hands out Of work as
today. 1t never before was SO easy
for a company to fill the places of
strikers rapidly and satisfactorily.
There is not one chance in a thousand
of the Lehigh Valley men carrying
any point of their demands. Their
insane outbreak will be the cause
of loss to themselves, suffering to the
poor, and damage and injury to the
entire country.
