Queer Defence Of McKinleyism.

N
Some of the McKinleyite papers are
defending their pet tariff measure and
its effects in a queer way. We find this
in a Washington letter to the Philadel-
phia press of this morning.
In 1889, before the Mckinley act. was
PASSED, the total foreign trade OF inc
country was s1,4S7. 5S9, OH. In 1882, under
the Mckinley act, it had increased TO
1857, $50, $40, showing an increase as the
result of the Mckinley act, OF nearly
$500. 900. 900. And yet this remarkable sec
retary of Agriculture deliberately writes
out an "interview" with himself in which
he asserts that the Mckinley act re-
stricted foreign trade; mn4 ia s snec essfi IN
1892 the foreign trade OF the country
decreased to a total for the fiscal year
1895 of 81, "a. OS4. ZIG, But thas was largei
than the total ever was before the pas
sage of the Mckinley act.
1t is certainly queer to see a protec-
zionist paper praising the Mckinley bill
because it increased imports. From the
pr otectionist point of view, this ought
to demonstrate it's total failure.
But, in reality, there is a strong argu-
ment for free trade i'll the figures given
above. for the vast increase in imports
is due wholly to the rather extensive
free list which was a feature of the Nc
Kinley bill. The one item of sugar alone
is responsible for NAM millions of the
increase. 1t c~onclusively shows how our
might be extended II as free
trade were afforded as the revenue
needs of the country would permit.

Harrison and Kearny Secession Re-
diyiVuS.

The Newark Cali renews this week
rison and Kearny to Essex County. 1t
calls upon the Senate upon reconvening
to complete the work of passing the bill
over the Governors veto. In support of
its demand, the "CalP' revamps all the
old platitudes about the bridges over
the Passaic, the horse car lines to New
ark, and the alleged business and social
relations which unite the disputed terri
tory to the greedy city across the
river.
In his veto message, Governor Werts
fully disposed of these and all other
pleas. He arrayed, besides, all the argu-
ments in favor of the present relations.
When the document appeared, a great
wave of approval passed over the whole
State with the exception of greedy, grasp
ing Newark. Even the paid Attornies of
the Clark Thread Mills, who are respon-
sible for the whole agitation, were ST
lenced by the Governors indignant de-
n~unciation of mere wanton secession.
The "Ca1l" INDUCES in some humorous
flights in its discussions 1t is certainly
flights ms it's discussion of the
subject. It is certainly laughable
to see it describe the position
OF Hudson County as selfish and narrow.
Here is a sample passage
rhe objections which nave been raised
are narrow srd selfish. Hudson objects
TO losing a part of its population, paying
consider able taxes for the support ofsan
e~xtravagant county government; and GER
tain Republican politicians in this county
have been afraid that the chances Of
their party would not be as bright with
the additional voters from across the
rivera fear, by the way, which is hard
~ we'll founded.
The duty of the Legislature is to enact
icws which will serve the interests of
the greatest number, and this act is one
which fulflls this requirement. Those
most affected are in favor ofAlt, and the
benefits which will be secured to Essex
and to Harrison and Kearny are such
that those who want to see the COM
munities prosperous and progressive Will
welcome the law as one of the wisest
Of enactments. Newark merchants and
manufacturers will have special occasion
TO advocate the annexation, for it will
bring them into closer association with
d large body of worthy people, and give
the county control of the highways which
stretch toward the metropolis.
I OF course tits quite liberal and en-
lightened in Essex to want help in pay
ing her expenses and reducing her tax
rate. Of course it is all right for Newark
manufacturers and merchants to want
to get into close relations with the people
Of the two towns. Of course, everyone
with the least turn for logic will see
aiow narrow and selfish any such de-
sires are upon the part OF Hudson tax
payers or Jersey City business men.
New to take a broad look at the stu
atIon, to take a glance into the inevita-
BILE future, it may be set down as I'M
Questionable that the development of
the land between the Passaic and the
Hackensack depends upon Jersey City.
Rceiproeally, Jersey City depends upo
< this region for room in which to grow.
The banks of the Hackensack are de-

MCCARTHY DISMISSED.
End of a Bitter Fight in EIoboken's
school Hoard.


Janitor Daniel Mccarthy of No. 2
School, Hoboken, was dismissed last
night by the Hoboken School Trustees.
This terminates a lively contest that
has been in progress since Mccarthy was
summoned before the board last winter
on charges of drunkenness, while on
duty. Mccarthy was SO grossly intoxi-
Gated that he tumbled from his chair in
a heap. 1t required a tWo-thirdss vote
his dismissal. Seven members voted for
his discharge and five for retention
when the case first came up. The matter
slumbered in until abrupt
ly brought up two months ago, when
the committee reported that they could
not agree in the matter, and everyone
thought Mccarthy was safe. The COM
mittee was dismissed and its term eX-
pired with the organization, a week
later, of the new board. Trustee Havron
had been DESTROYS of retaining Mccarthy,
but some of the members persuaded him
to swing to the other side, and last night
his vote decided the matter finally. Trus-
tee Bell offered the resolution Diminishing
the derelict janitor. Heating declared it
out of order because there were no
charges against Mccarthy, the old com
plant dying out with the committee,
President Russ ruled him out OF order.
and said the charges had merely been
dropped until fall.
A long discussion followed. during
which it transpired that Mrs. Mccarthy
had been appointed to the position dur
ing her husbands suspension, and was
drawing the pay. while Mccarthy really
did the work. Several members main
tanned hat there We're no charges against
Mccarthy, as they had died with the old
committee. That proposition. it was
maintained, would be upheld by the court
If the matter was ever taken there Nc
Carthy's friends in the board became
very indignant, and denounced the pro-
ceeding as Illegal and unjust.
1t was shown that the accused had had
three opportunities to do better given
him, but he persisted in getting intoxi-
Gated while on duty.
On the final vote those in favor of
dismissal were:-Trustees Russ, Bell.
Steil, Hicks, Lehman, Havron, Nichols
and Gebhardt. Those to retain were:-
Trustees Cannon, Heating Hess and Mar

The Presidents Letter.

The Presidents letter is just what
honesty and unfinching courage. 1t will
have the hearty endorsement of every
democrat worthy of the name,
81 take my place with the rank and
file of the Democratic party" says the
President.
Yes. and the rank and file of the
party will rally around him and will
carry the banner that he has raised to
ultimate triumph.
The President has done the best and
wisest thing for the country in permit
ting the Tariff bill to become law. 1t is,
as he says, a vast improvement over the
Mckinley system. He has been equally
right to ithhold his signature and 10
communicate to the public his deep dis
approval of the defects and crudities of
present advantage that the situation Of
fered, and he has saved the cause of
tariff reform as a living issue to be pur-
sued until our commerce and our indus
srfes are as free as those of Great Brit
lin, and like them surpass in ~vastness
and prosperity all other countries in the
world.
With the Presidents letter for a plat
form, the Democratic party takes up the
Congressional campaign of 1894. On the
ground here taken up, we should win,
even by as signal a triumph as that of
1892. The pledges of the party, then made
have been in part fulfilled. That they
have not been wholly so is the result of
an alliance of traitors with the Repubz.
.ican party.
II appealing to the people for support
for true democrats, the party will call
for the retirement from public life of those
those who have deceived and betrayed
who nave deceived and betrayed it. In
securing new hold on the National Gov
eminent, it will purify itself, and enter
dpon a new term of legislative control,
ready to push the fight for reform to its
logical conclusions.
