Charitable Young Ladies and
Gentlemen Give an Excellent
Entertainment.

The entertainment given at the Hoboken
Theatre last evening for the benefit of the
Emergency Poor Fund was q success far
above the anticipations of its projectors. A
large sum of money was realized from the
sale of tickets, all of which viii be donated
by the committee in charge of the entertain
ment to the worthy poor of Hoboken. The
theatre was filled with a fashionable audi
ence, who vigorously ~applauded the splendid
programme presented. The utmost care had
been pursued in arranging a programme OF
rare excellence, and a signal success was the

Anna Schultze, Fannie Clestin, Mabel Zeno,

POETRY THAT SELLS.

No poet in the United States has the same
hold upon the minds of the people as Riley.
He is the poet of the plain American. They
bought $50, 900 worth of his verse last year;
and he is also one of the most successful
lecturers on the platform. He gives the lie
to the old saying, for he is a prophet in his
own country. The people of Indiana are
Justly proud of him, for he has written
Poems Here at Home.n He is read by peo-
pie who never before read poetry in their
lives. and he appeals equally well to the man
who is heart sick of the hollow conventional
verse in imitation of some classic.
He is absolutely American in every line he
writes. His schooling has been in the school
of realities. He takes things at first-hand.
He considers his success to be due to the fact
that he is one of the people, and has written
of the things he liked and they liked. The
time win come when his work will be seen
to be something more than the fancies of a
humorist.-McC gure's for February.

be appointed by the Governor imme~
diately upon the passage Of the bill;
but they are to receive no compensa-
ton whatever until the provisions OF
the bill are put into operation by the
adoption of its methods by some
| municipality. In other words, the
Commission is to be o ''no-work-no-
pay organization. Considering that
the work once begun will be con
Quoted on a magnificent scale, and
will call for the best skill and ability
in the commissioners. the proposed
salary is very moderate indeed.
The second objection made to the
bill is that it appropriates a loan oil
$3.50, 900 from State fluids for the use
OF the Commission. 1t is claimed
that this provision is in violation OF
the provision of the Constitution,
which forbids the appropriation OF
money for any private corporation,
society or association. We do not re-
gard the objection as valid. The
| proposal is to lend, MOTTO appropriate,
money. The advance is to De made
for a distinctively public purpose, in
which a vast proportion OF the p opu-
iation of the State is inter
ested. There is no purpose
or design of enabling any
person to make a profit, or otherwise
gain advantage through the aid OF
the States funds, save and except
such profit and advantage as the peo-
pie may gain from the use OF the
water. There is nothing whatever
unconstitutional in this feature ofthe
bill-at anv rate, and we feel justified
in believing that both the Hacken-
sack Republican, and the Journal
know this perfectly well and are in
fuenced in the position, more by
their old regard for the down trodden
corporations which at present have
grip on the State water sheds, than
by any real doubts as to the
wisdom or validity of the proposed
legislation. At any rate, the obJec-
ton need not affect the ultimate fate
of the bill. 1t is very easy to amend
it so that the representatives of the
syndicates in the Legislature may
have nc excuse for b~etraying the peo-
pies interests by voting to defeat it.

EXCITEMENT AT OLD TRINITY.
Evangelist Harrison the
People TO the EEighest pitch.

The interest in the great revival now pro-
crossing at Old Trinity Methodist Church
increases at every service. Evangelist Har-
rison, at the service last evening, was greeted
by a large and expectant congregation.
Promptly at 7.5 the singing commenced,
and during the music it became evident that
the service was to be one of great power.
The spirit Of awakening was so manifested
in the congregation that Mr.. Harrison found
it impossible to preaclA and, instead Oh the
sermon, gave the invitation for persons
anxious to come forward. At once seekers
FASTENED to the altar, and what was then
witnessed reminded the older persons OF the
great ~revivals fifty years ago.
The excitement last night became intense,
as strong men knelt at the altar weeping
like children, and, as conversion was pro
sfessed, the large congregation shouted the
praises of God. The interest in the revival
has now become so great that Mr.. Harrison
is arranging TO have revival meetings day
and night.

MAYOR PAGAN VET0ES.
He Won't Sign Claims a la Jersey
City Street and Wate Board.

C1ty street ana " atcr hoaTus
The Hoboken Common Council met last
evening. Councilmen Offerman and Fen
ton were absent. Property-owners in the
vicinity of Bloomfield and Ferry streets pc
titioned that the electric light that had
been removed from that point be replaced.
Since its removal hoodlums had made life
miserable for people living in that vicinity,
and the spot is dark and uncomfortable at
night to walk along. Bad boys steal door
mats in the darkness, too. The matter was
referred.
Mayor Pagan sent a veto to the claims OF
T. w. Dorcett for work performed about the
City Hall, stating these claims were illegal.
No claims of 500 may be presented for con-
sideration among the pay rolls, so Dorcett
chopped his bill in two parts, one of S92.64
and the other of $94.90. The matter was re-
ferred.
The Committee ON Sewers reported that
they had considered favorably the sugges-
ton of the Health Board that all permits for
sewer connections to houses be referred to
the Health Board for endorsement. Requisi-
tions on the city treasury were drawn &c

for two weeks.

Still More Water.

The Eoeping Journal last Thurs
day struck another good blow for the
water syndicates to whose interests it
has long been enslaved. 1t discovered
that the State Water Commission
bill, now before the Legislature, was
Unconstitutional in important respects
and that, even If it were valid, it was
impracticable to pass it.
The joke of it is that this bill is the
one out of which Mr.. joey Dear has
been getting a good deal of free
advertising of late. He has been
putting out his chest over it as an
independents citizen and member of
the Jersey City Board OF Trade in a
way that has been intensely amusing
Ito those who knew the relations OF
his sheet with the pirates OF the
northern water sheds. 1t is the old
Jekyi and Hyde style of journalism
all over again. Mr.. Dear does his
best to keep solid with the prevailing
sentiment of the community, while
his wicked partner plays into the
hands OF the joobers and robbers, the
rings and the gangs who live by
plundering the city.
The attack on the Water bill in the
Journal is based on some objections
raised in an article in the Hackensack
Republican, The first allegation made
IS that the bill establishes sinecure
offices by providing for four commits
sIoners at salaries Of $4,000 q year
apiece. This is. OF course, a gross lie.
The commissioners, it is true, are to

HARvARD-PRINoEToN DEBATE
Spscial to the ,Jerseu Citv Ncus.

PRINCETON, Jan. %, 1s94.-In spite of the
many obstacles, Harvard may not agree to
enter in a debate with Princeton. Princeton
insists that each mar shall ave the priyil-
eye of rebuttal and to this Harvard objects.
Since the defeat of the Yale debaters it is
thought that Harvard will be more inclined
to m~eetPrinceton. Negotiations will therefore
be continued and there is a nance that rep
resentatives of the two colleges may yet
meet during the year. Princeton men are
anxious for a meeting, but say they cant

Fine Paper to BE Made of Sedge Gras
in Cape May County.

1PNSt~s
SEA ISLE CITY, Jan. 25, 1s94.-A number
of Philadelphia capitalists have formed a
company under the avs of New Jersey for
the purpose of manufacturing paper out OF
sedge grass. For several months prominent
paper manufacturers AVE been experiment
ing on the sedge grass, with the result of
producing the finest quality of bond and
writing paper. So much success has attended
these experiments that a large mill has been
built a few miles from this city.
The making of paper from sedge grass, if
it attain the success that is claimed for it,
will bring the product of 100000 acres of
South Jersey meadow land into the market.
In Cape May County alone there would be
sedge grass gathered sufficient to keep a
large number of mills at work. The grass
grows plentifully along the creeks and
th~oroughfares from Atlantic City to Cape
May. 1t has only been used for bedding
horses and cattle, as its woody fiber makes
it unfit for fodder.

THE theory of the quo aOGrTGnto
proceedings was correctly explained
In THE JERSEY CITY NEWS editorial
yesterday. The design is to assail nei-
Their the election o the qualifications
of any individual Senator OIL claimant
to the post of Senator. The object of
attack is the so-called Senate, consist
ing of eleven republicans. as a body.
Among the questions to be deter
mined is the question whether, under
the Constitution, they are a body
competent to pass on the election or
qualifications OF individual Senators.
There is some doubt among lawyers
as to whether a writ of quo warranto
will lie under the circumstances. 1t is
certainly an unprecedented thing in
practice. There is nothing like it
among the presidents of this State;
but it is hard to specify any good
reason why it should not be a proper
method of testing a legal question of
the such vital moment as this. 10
reduce the doubt to an absurdity, it is
only necessary to observe that if there
were no such course possible, any
twenty-one men might get together
in Trenton, and on more or less color
able assumptions, claim to be the Sen
ate. Assuredly the Executive has no
power to determine the validity of a
legislative body. No one branch of
the Legislature can determine the
validity of another branch nor can
the whole Legislature determine the
validity of either of it's component
parts. 1t remains that either each
body must be the final judge of Its
own status, even though it have in
herently no status at all, or else there
must be an appeal possible to the
courts.
That the former method involves in
conceivable absurdities is plain. But
If there is to be an appeal to the
courts, what better way can there be
of bringing it about than by the form
of an information in the nature of
a quo warranto directed against the
entire body whose legal existence is
called in question.

The Ono warranto Move.

Governor Werts has found the way
out of the muddle. His proposal to
submit the Senate controversy to n
Supreme Court brings both parties to
a point where neither can refuse to
accept the Judgment passed without
completely losing the sympathy OF
the public. If the democrats should
refuse to acknowledge the jurisdiction
of the Supreme Court and to accept
its ruling they would simply confess
a weakness in their case. Equally, II
the republicans should stick out
against argument and adjudication
by the court. they would place them
selves before the public as conscious
~ in tine wrong and afraid to submit
the facts and the law to an impartial
tribunal.
There is one way by which Cover
nor Werts and the Democratic lead.
ers can make their position even
stronger than it now is. They should
respectfully request Chief Justice
Beasley to appoint none but Repub-
lican Judges to hold the special term
before which the quo warranto is to
be argued. In this way they will
demonstrate their entire confidence
in their own theory of the law. Ii
their view is as sound as they claim
1t to be, they can lose nothing by
their magnaninity, for it cannot be
doubted that the Justices of the Su-
preme Court, whether Democratic or
Republican, will rule according to
law and right, without the remotest
regard to politics.

The sixth annual banquet of the Min

Nearly all of the Republican luminaries OF
Hudson County sat at the long, lower
bedecked tables in the spacious banquet hall

orators who had been chosen to respond to
the various toasts. The bar, finance and
educational departments and society were
represented, and the speeches were some OF
the best ever heard in the celery district
The rain poured down in torrents and the
wind howled dismally without, but within
the sparkle of wit, the popping of cham

the dining hall. They began the evenings

a Review of tl,e Good old Times In Merry
 England s,hich Is More Instructive
 Than Edifying-Titus Oates, the "King

 stTwelve Bad Men, is the odd title of a book at once intensely sensational and strictly historical recently put forth by Thomas Seocombe of London, but it is evident at a glance that he has not se- lected the worst men in history, and he explains his choice by saying that 'twhite- washing has proved as bad for biography as the worst taint of bigotry," and he has therefore taken 12 men whom nobody has tried to ''whitewash," men so thoroughly md irredeemably bad that men of all par ties admit their badness.
 Tho star character of the book is Titus Oates-and it is very strange that no full biography of him had ever been published that utterly constituencies villain who
