yery Bad Politics.

We are solemnly convinced that the
attempt to hold the State Senate by
refusing to swear in Crank Bradley of
Asbury Park will result in disaster to
the Democracy. w e think a majority
of the people last n ovember desired
the Republican party to control the
Legislature. We think they still SO
desire. We think that the defeat of
this desire by any artific ial device.
however, supported by pr ecedent, and
however ingenious in legal f~inesse,
will deeply offend the voters and will
cause them to vote ag ain and again
for Republican candidates. The eo-
pie are not in a mood to have their
will reversed by clever juggling.
1t is unne cessary to say thar we re-
gard Repu blican control of the Legis-
iature as a misfortu ne to the State. If
that party carry out one-half its pro-
graInme of partisan legislation and
corporation subserviency the citizens
will have reason to curse the excess OF
their wrath which, to punish a set of
petty rascals, turned over the State to
a combina ton of monstr Gus villains.
The threatened subversion of the rail-
way taxation system-su oh as 1t is
and the substitution of a bureau of
General Sewell's tools is alone suffi-
Gent to arouse the Indignation OF
every man in New Jersey.
But it is not the proper function of
a political par ty to protect the people
against their own will. The people
rule. They have, in the last election,
cast in their lot with the Republican
party. The Democracy should GER
tainIy not interfere. Its function is
zto expose the misconduct of the new
rulers. and to stand ready next No

DIR. VAN oLEEFs ANNIVERSARY.
The Forty-fourth of His Passionate of
the Wayne Street Reformed.

the Wayne Street Reformed.
Rev. Paul Van. Cleef, DID,, pastor
emeritus of the Wayne Street Reformed
Church, yesterday morning preached the
f~orty-fourth anniversary sermon of his
pastorate of that church. The church was
well filed, and the minister was listened to
with profound respect and eager attention.
His sermon was on the progress of religion.
He referred to the parliament of religions,
and said he believed there would be one day
a universal religion.
In concluding his sermon DR.. Van Cleef
said: "We have reached another way
mark in our church life. The past has been
full of changes. What the futuree What
evendhe year upon which we have entered
wilLbring we cannot tell. What of life re-
mains whether it be much or little, may God
help us to improve in view of a better life
for which | trust you and l are preparing.
Three members of our church, Mr. Isaac J.
Vanderbeck, Mrs. Phoebe Carnes and Miss
during the year. Fifteen members have
beenaadded TO our communion roll. But SO
| many have been dismissed and placed on the
retired hst that our members have been re-
duced, as reported to the General Synod,
although we have the satisfaction of extend
ing the hand Of welcome to new members
and helpers in the Masters work. Our
church was not what it was years ago. The
same change has passed over other churches
in this part of the city. But the needs OF
the city are the same and greater, and the
work is the same and more imperative. We
nave no cause for encouragement, but much
to cheer and stimulate every Christian to
greater zeal and larger effort"

MONEY MAKING IN AMERICA.
The Common Saying, ssAnybody Can
Gel a Livlng.ss Disproved.

OO0J
Get a Livlng,,s Disproved.
Very few men nowadays make large sums
of money, unless they have money to begin
with, and after the representative man, or
even the superior man, has answered the
Observation-Disclosures question he is commonly at
the bottom of his purse. Money making is
not a high talent, but it is a very rare one,
even in this thriving democracy, supposed IN
Europe to be chiefly populated by money
makers, instead of by mere workers for
bread and butter, which we on the spot
know to be the case. Americans of pure
strain are Individually more capable of max
ing money than the people of any other
nation, because they are more Intelligent,
more developed, more practical, are better
educated, and require more conveniences
and redundaneies. But all their capacity is,
consider a comfortable livelihood, though
Europeans would think it luxurious, as in
deed it is. Ii these could turn their labor to
any such profit, they would put a consider
able part of it regularly, and so furnish the
ground work OF a competency. Americans,
however, are not often so thrifty, or so
pfovident of the future, because, perhaps,
they are too confident of inner resources and
of ample opportunities.
A COMMON saying in the Republic is,
"Anybody can get a living" but it is dis
proved by the patent fact that a great many
of us do not get a living, and are not able to,
try as we may. What a very large pro
portion of us are always requiring assistance
of some sort! how very few can stand alone
permanently And to get a living in America,
of an American kind, is far more of a task
than is popularity supposed .-Junius Henri
BroUne, an Hdapef's, for January.

sample of Jersey CITY s'NeWSo Dished
UP i'm New York Papers.
From the Evening journal of Saasrd ~.
A story which was evidently concocted by
one or two of the Democratic coterie which
hangs around the City Hall, was published
in a New York newspaper this morning. 1t
was to the effect that the appointment by the
Board of Finance of William Brinkerhoff as
Corporation Counsel, and James s. Erwin as
Corporation Attorney, was the result of a
deal in which President Hitler, of the Fin
ance Board, and Congressman Fielder figur-
ed. The badly written story went on TO say
that Mr.. Hitler, in order to induce Congress
man Fielder to oppose certain sections of the
Wilson tariff bill, which were inimicalto M.
Killers drug business, had a conference
with Congressman Fielder, and that
the latter agreed to oppose
the Objectionable provisions on
condition chat Mr.. Hitler join with Commits
sioners Bedell and Fraser in securing the APP
pointment of Mr.. Brinkerhoff as corpora
tion counsel. Mr.. Brinkerhof is a brother
in-law of Congressman Fielder. The story
went on to say that the appointment of Mr..
Erwin to succeed Corporation Attorney
Weart was also a part of the deal.
Self respecting republicans generally
looked upon the screed as the wild fake of a
juvenile reporter. Mr.. Brinkerhoff, when
seen, said:-''The story is too ridiculous to
be seriously considered. It is unnecessary to
say that there was no deal about the APP
pointments. A certain number of individuals
seem to be worrying a great deal over those
appointments. They can't stop discussing
them"
The appointments of Messrs. Brinkerhoff
and Erwin have been received with a great
deal of satisfaction by republicans and in
dependent citizens; but there are a few dis
gruntled ones who are doing their best to
make the action of the Finance Board a pre-
text for stirring up strife in the Republican
ranks. The scheme won't work.

DOMESTIC LIFE IN THE ARMY.
1t Does Not Tend to Overpovvering
Coniugal Felicity.


A certain former Washingtonian, an officer
in the army, returned from five years in the
West, a month or more ago, bringing his
lovely wife. The lady is also from Wash
ington. They both knew nearly everybody
that was anybody, especially in army and
navy circles five or six years ago. The army
officers wife was called on by all her former
acquaintance, of course. Not long ago she
met a young woman who used to be a great
friend, and who is the six months bride OF
another army family.
"Where are you living now, Alice9' the
lady from the West asked.
"Why, at home, of course"
"Good; and where is your husband liv-
ingY'
"What do you mean? We are living to-
gether, to be sure. Where should we be-"
And the lady from the West answered.
Il am so glad. have seen a dozen fam
lilies and you and your husband are the only
ones living amicably together. Wash
ington army society is awful" The

When master and Man" was constructed
the author certainly put some very strong
scenes together. A realistic and stirring

to be one of the most sensational episodes
ever shown on the mimic stage. The plot is
continually developing new and somewhat
unexpected features. With two such ster-

company, the play. will certainly be ade-

Adjustment Commissioners Work.
The Journal printed a shameless
tissue of Misrepresentation re-
garding the Commissioners OF Ad-
iustment ON Saturday, represent
ing that the board was a
source Of expense to the city and that
it was not producing funds to reduce
the public debt. 1t is almost In
credible that the Journal is not aware
of the truth. Indeed the contempt
ibIe animus OF the article sticks out
in every line.
It is unnecessary to tell the people
who know anything that the city
does not incur one dollar of expense
through proceedings under the Martin
| Act and its amendments. The cost of
searches, service of process, and all
other legal incidents are charged
against the property affected and
become liens upon it. Ii the K
are paid and the property redeemed
as is the case in the vast majority OF
instances, the owner has to pay all
these expenses, the city losing abso-
lutely nothing. When the property
is bought in by the city at the semi
annual sales and not redeemed SUBJ
sequently, the city acquires fee-simpie
in it and obviously secures ample
value, prospective if not present,
for the small outlay it makes.
The remark that parcels of property
have been withdrawn from sale out
of favoritism is a gross aspersion on
City Collector O'Neill, which. we De-
lieve, is wholly unwarranted. When
parcels have been withdrawn, it has
always been because the taxes were
paid or assurances were given that
they speedily would be. The spirit OF
the Martin Act does not favor whole
sale appropriation of delinquent pro-
perty. On the contrary, the policy
|indicated is to offer people every pos
sibie inducement and opportunity to
redeem. And this is all that has been
done.
Some of the Journals lies are too
contemplate to notice. 1t is only
worthy of record, first that the Com
mission has reduced the city debt
over a million; second, that it has re-
stored to the mass of property paying
taxes regularly every year about a mil
lion and a half worth of real estate;
and third, that through it the city has
acquired fee simple ownership of a
vast amount of land within its own
boundaries, on which it will realize
enormous profits in the future.
