FOR EARLY CLOSING.
Rev. MI. McMinn Says the Church
Should Assist the Clerks,

The Rev. Edwin McMinn of the Sum-
nit Avenue Baptist Church. last night,
in a prelude to his regular sermon. dis
cussed the early closing movement and
explained why the Church should as
sumo an attitude upon the question.
He cited the laws of Moses as giving
protection to laborers. and said they
gave laborers the Sabbath. They were
against oppression. They compelled
prompt payment Of wages, even before
shutdown. The Church, said Mr.. Nc
MINI, naturally instructed in the inter-
est of a common brotherhood. IL taught
that there should be no slaves, but tnat
all should be brothers, with love as a
foundation for action, the golden rule as

ed to the world as a w~orktngman. He
came of q workingman's family, an !
gathered about him toiliug people.
Referring to the number of women and
girls who are employed as clerks, the
speaker said the church elevated women
and rave her RICH Is aud privileges. The
social condition of women, he said, was
the strongest evidence of the grace OF
Christianity. 1t was a mission of the
church to supply a place where the social
AMI mental life of the people might be
advanced. It had no place for the vices
that beset the people, and had waged,
aud was still wagiug. a relentless war
against such in the interest of the labor
lug classes. The church. in its practical
work, he maintained, should maintain
whatever In the spirit of Christianity
would better the condition of the people
and secure for them their rights. Hence,
her attitude on slavery, on temperance,
or amusements, on local politics and
even on commercial customs.

A Time-Honored Custom Done Away
With MT Princeton.
PRINCETON, September 25, 1S93.-Friday
night the air was rent with the respective
class cheers of the Sophomore and Fresh
man classes, who, true to the time honored
custom of the sons of old Nassau, assem-
bled for the annual rush" The Fresh
men gathered at the end of University
marching lock step and four in 8 row,
while recruits were constantly added
The ~Sophomores had surrounded the 'Old
Cannon" and were making the air alive
with yells that brought crowds of SuSpi-
clous looking individuals with coats
turned wrong side out and caps drawn
over their eyes to avoid detection. Eager
were the excited groups as to the numbers
of their opponents, but before the string
of excited Freshmen reached the campus
gate they were stopped by Upper Glass
men Jack McMaster and Proctor Topley.
Much as it is to be regretted it is an an
doubted fact that the classes have been
growing too large every year for this most
exciting contest to be INDUCED in, without
great danger to its participants, so last
year, at a college mass meeting, it was
resolved TO abolish the rush, which had
been done away with by every large coll
leg in the country, on the condition that
the 'tCane Spree should be allowed to
take place each year, at the fall sports,
with out interference from the faculty. 1t
was in pursuance of this action that the
rush was stopped, though not without
considerable feeling on the part of many
of the students.

The Dominies in Politics.

The Rev. John L. Scudder has so
much to say about the Sheriff's office
that we r tempted to wish he were
Sheriff himself, so we might see what
sort of results he would furnish. If
he and the element he represents
really think a clergyman knows more
about the business of the office than. a
man who has been working iii it all
his life, why don't they nominate Mr..
Scudder as an independent candidate
and at once proceed to elect him.
All the other ministers in the
county can take a personal interest
in the proceeding. They have de-
nounced every legislative delega ton
the county has sent to Trenton with
in the memory of man. Now, we
propose that they get up a ticket of
their own, and begin an active cam
paign. We would suggest to them,

STATE CITIZENS LEAGUE CIRCULAR.

The State Citizens League have sent out a
circular which was read in many of the
churches yesterday. 1t pertains to the effort
the League proposes to make to have the race
track legislation of last winter repealed. and
recommends that all who are opposed to the
race track laws and desire to see them wiped
out, make an effort even at personal sacrifice
aud attend the primaries and aid in securing
the nomination of men who Gun be depended
upon to carry out their views. In case candi-
dates are nominated who are known to be in
favor of the race tracks, 1t is recommended that
the meu named by the opposite party be voted
for, il opposed to the existing laws. If both
parties put up men who are in favor Of the
race track. the League recommends the nomi-
nation OF independent candidates. The paper
closes with the assertion that Experiences
warns US not TO trust too confidently in evasive
assurances Of candidates who are too weak to
resist party diictation or to scorn a price for
their sereices."
