Politics,

The politics of our country augments
and intensifies the tribulation and financial
distress that our nation is now passing
through. There is too much politics mixed
with our religion and not enough religion
mixed with our politics. When 1t is pub
licly announced by distinguished United
States Senator that the ten commandments
and the golden rule have no place in mod
ern politics aud this announcement goes
uucontradicted, it is sad aud deplcrable
to contemplate. righteousness exalteth
nation, but sin is reproach to any
people. y "When the righteous are in OH
therity the people rejoice, but when the
wicked beareth rule the lands mourns,
as it does to-day of the sins
and wickedncss of the people.
s'The wicked walk on every side when
the vilest men are exalted" With all our
boosted liberty and advanced civilization,
our progress 10 the arts and sciences and
material prosperity, we are fnst becoming
goddess nation In politics. la our halls
OF legislation christianity, uprightness and
integrity are despised and Iidiculed and
piety is a bar to an election to any re-
sponsible Office. The public conscience Ii
defled and the obliteration of all traces Of
christianity from our law is the result.
In the words of writer in the Christian
ADVOCATE, "Barbarism has returned upon
society in this boosted nineteenth century,
In this cherished day of civilization,
shameful sights OF blood, of brutal IN
stincis unchecked, the mere mention Of

In the New York Ledger of Febru-
airy 18th, the Washington's Birthday num-
Der, will be commenced great novel,
Mr.. Hall Gaines masterpiece, entitled
''The Manxman. The inhabitants of the
Isle OF Man, little island off the coast OF
Scotland, devoted TO fishing and agricul-
ture, are known as Manxmen, sturdy
race, full of native pride, traditional pre-
judicc, sincere, humane and OF genuine
manliness. This has always been fav-
orite field OF the author. His great novel,
''The Deemster," portrays these people.
Hall Gaines deep feeling finds an appro-
pirate outlet in these strong, hearty, inccr-
ruptiblc characters, their lives full Of peril
and suffering and labor. Mr.. Game has
always delighted in romantic adventure {;
his characters are always alive and
at work, doing something. II seizes hold
o! the heart with grip that Is not relax
ed until the whole great tragedy is work
cd out-the fate OF the men and women
written down. In reading this story
the great lesson is constantly impressed
upon the mind that circumstances are
quite as powerful 10 life as character, and
that opportunity missed Is equivalent to
no opportunity offered. Such a great
novel, so full of deep lessons Of life, will
create a wide interest 10 the Ledger
among sll intelligent readers, during the
year.

A Reader of the New York "Press"
Seeks Information as to
Past Surpfuses

Past SURPRISES.
To Me Editor Of the Press:
Sir-Did Mr.. Cleveland accumulate a
surplus of 800, 900, 900 during his first
Administration, as Democrats claims
Did President Harrison's Administratio n
spend this 100, 900, 600 and howl
j. E. MACDONALD.
President Cleveland did not accumulate
the former surplus. No revenue law OF
any description was passed during the
|tfsnr years of his first administration.
The Senate was Republican. Tariff
smashing was impossible.
In his message to Congress Mr. Cleve-
land repeatedly urged that the Treasury
surplus (Which existed when he assumed
office was an injury and injustice to the
people, who were "taxed" too much.
Instead of using the surplus to reduce the
national debt, President Cleveland loan ed
the 800, 00o, 900 to favored banks without
interest.
The Republicans were elected on plat
form in 1883 which pledged the party to
''reduce the national revenue. Faithfn
to this pledge, the next Republican Con-
grts0 made sugar, like tea and coffee, free

For many years, Stephen B., Amos,
Hannah, Sarah and Rebecca Smith, BROTH
ers and sisters, a highly respected family,
have lived together in the house on
Bridge street, adjoining the Baptist
church, in this city. Suddenly death
stepped in and 10 less than week, the
three sisters were taken away. Hannah
the oldest, dedfon the 10Th, of grip; Re-
becca, the younger, died Of consumption
on the 23d, and Sarah, the second in age,
died on the Goth, of grip. The first named

the other two on Friday last. So sad an
sffliction is OF very rare occurrence, and

In his message to the Legislature, Gov.
Werts said: "In conclusion, desire mere
ly to express the hope that the Legislative
and Executive departments, although mol
in political accord, may nevertheless be
able conscientiously to cooperate in wise
and bencficent legislation for the public
good" When and where did the Govern
or become acquainted with new facts, OF
substance, that caused him to change his
mind as to the Legislative and Executive
departments not being in political accordG
What occurred between Monday night
when this message was sent out, and Tues
day afternoon, when the Legislature met,
that brought him to different way oil

errors 10 the official count been discover

Probably in the light OF recent events,
few are surprised that Governor Werts
has refused to assent TO the recommends
tons Of Mayor Wanser for the removal
Of the Jersey City Street and Water Com
missioners 1t is true that il was shown
al the trial that these gentlemen had per-
sistently and deliberately violated the lay.
To take no matters about which there is
possibility of dispute, the records made
clear the fact that they were 10 the habit
Of having big jobs done by favoriles Of
theirs, $500 worth at a time. The law
requires that when work aggregating
amounts over that sum is given out pub
lie advertisement Of the contracts shall be
made. In order to disobey the law thou
sands of dollars worth OF work was divi
ded up into jobs charged at less than
$500.
II is interesting to observe tie attitude
that Governor Werts holds toward any
complaint of such violation of the law as
this. He is net convinced that the work
cost more than 1t would have cost under
contract, and therefore he does not think
that the mere fact that the law was disre-
garded to suit the wishes of the Commits
sioners has anything to do with the case.
Legal technicalities are great things when
they can help politicians with whom the
Governor sympathizes in an effort 10 cap
ture Senate and disfranchise the citizens
of State, but when law is violated by
other politicians in whom he has friend
ly interest it does not amount to anything.
The remarkable change In political SEN
timent in Jersey City shown in recent
elections is attributed by good many
people largely to the record that the Street
and Water Board there has been making.
There is no possible question what dispos-
al the people Of that city would make of
the body II they could only have the
chance TO get at it. The law de.
signed tosprevent the people from having
that privilege and TO give the Governor
pswer to protect unworthy officials is 10
the way and Governor Werts makes the
use of 1t that was to be expected. --Neeo-
