AN INFAMOUS RING.
The Rev. Theodore Heisig Speaks
of Matters Political.

The Rev. Theodore Heisig, Pastor of
the First Baptist Church. spoke of the
present political condition and the re-
sponsibility and duty of Christians last
evening. The pulpit" he said, sis not

not q political stuinp-sp ssker, A ques-
tion OF mere party policies has no place

and reform are AWAY i'll place. Ii Is
high time that Christian men were
taking a greater interest In the science
OF government. The preacher has a
mission to men in this regard.

REGULAR DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.
For Sheriff Of Hudson County,
EDWARD r. STANTON.
For Coroner
GEORGE H.
The Democratic Nominee.

In Edward R, Stanton, the Demo-
cratic party has nominated a man
whom every democrat can work for
with enthusiasm. Personally, he is
honest, manly, capable, Independent.
His affiliations are not with the Davis
ring, but with the better element of
the local party organization. the
element that is trying to reorganize
and reform the party. His record is
a bright one, and especially as Sheriff
he has won commentator and earned
the reward Of his services in an cleo
ton for a full term.
The New York papers are hostile TO
him for reasons which are we'll appre-
ciated here; but even their hostility
has not dared to besmirch Mr.. Stan
ton himself Al a man or an official.
The opposition to him is based on a
sort of double lie: First, that he is
controlled by bosses, and, second. that
Bob Davis is one of these bosses.
First, Mr.. Stanton is not controlled
by any one. He is a man Of too indie
pendent-even aggressive character.
He will be Sheriff himself, and no one
will be allowed to dictate to him.
Second, of all men in the world,
Davis cannot reach him. He and
Davis are lifelong foes. 1t is a gross
libel OF Mr.. Stanton to say that he
has any connection or utilization
whatever with Davis. Davis, down
to Friday night, did his best to defeat
the nomination, and only came in out
of the rain when he found it was
heavy enough to drown him.
Mr.. Stanton's popularity will grow
as the campaign progresses. When
he gets on the platform and the peo-
pie see what a man he is, they will
rally to his support in old time Demo
cratic hosts.

The launching of the United States
ram Katahdin at Bath, Maine, adds
another formidable vessel to the list
of great fighters now afoat under the
American flag. The Katahdin will
not be ready for service for some
time, but once in active service, she
will stand high in her class. This
vessel will be u coast defender, with
appliances that will make the epcmy
hasten to cover. Another one OF the
unique class in the United States
navy and one that has just sue
cessfully passed her proving trials is
the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius. This
boat shoots immense dynamite bombs
accurately within limit of 1000
yards. The heaviest war ship afloat
would be totally demolished il it
should happen along under one of
these death destroyers. In every re-
spect the United States navy is push

There is not man in the world who
would brave the scorn of his fellows
by openly violating the established
canons of dress; witness the two but
