house last night. The committee in charge
We're Miss Jennie Glendenning, chairman,
and Mr.. j.. o. Holton, Miss Binkerhoff, Miss
Whyte and Mr.. L. Vandyke. Misses Elsie
Whyte and Elsie Soper, dressed in loose
sleeveless gowns, had charge of a booth
placed in the center of the room and served
the guests with lemonade. A number of
games were enjoyeda and then they sat around
The room, talked and munched home made
candy. The chief amusements was derived
from a sheet hung in a doorway. On it was
painted q large snnfiower. There were holes
tn the center of the flower just large enough
to admit a persons eyes and nose. A pretty
girl or a good looking boy would get behind
It and press his face against it, while the
others would try to guess who it was by his
ewes and nose. Mr.. Il. Vandyke stood at
the reading desk and propounded a lot OF
~conundrums. He would wait a few seconds
for an answer and then give it himself.

We are just a little surprised at the
warmth Of tone which characterized
Judge Hudspeth's reply, made from
the Bench, yesterday, to what appears
to be the general censure of the alb
surd sentence passed upon little Jesse
Warren, the nine-year-old stone
thrower. We regret that the dis
agreement of the press and the public
with him as to the magnitude of the
small boys c~riminality should have
rufied him SO seriously. So far as we
are concerned, there was assuredly no
design to impugn his motives in any
way. We beg to assure him of our
distinguished consideration both per-
sonally and officially, to begin. with.
and then wo are obliged to reiterate
our total, absolute and unqualified
dissent from his view of the case, h
same not being one whit modified by
explanations or arguments, put for
ward, yesterday. from the Bench We
still regard the sentence of an eight

home, respectable relatives and fair
hopes in life. to the Reform School,
as a lamentable miscarriage of justice.
a reproach to Dur laws, n to the
days we live in.
Before publicly expressing an
opinion upon this case, we had
thought of about every consideration
that Judge Hudspeth advances. and
dismissed them all. We were aware OF
all the additional ia cts which ne states
regarding the boy including the shock
ing one, tile publication of which was
left 10 the prurient columns of the
EpsnSng Journal. So we may fairly
reply to His Honor's closing admoni-
ton, that we had fully examined into
the whole case before taking issue
with anyone concerning it. We may
add that we had much Information
on the case, which, it would seem,
had not been laid before the Court.
and II the Court will so far nnbend
this afternoon as to cast an eye over
the news columns of this edition, he
will intl an array Of facts which may
afford him some food for reflection in
the premises.
There are, we believe, three con-
ceivable motives for the punishment
Of crime by the State. First, there is
the motive Of punishment in the true
sense, the vindictive motive, the iin-
pulse to injure in retaliation for in
Jury; second, there is the r~eforrnatory
motive, the desire to amend the char
acfer Of the offender, to the end that

OATHoLIO CLUBS RECEPTION.

1t was s'ladies' night in the Catholic Club
last evening. and, as a consequence, the rooms
of the big clubhouse on Jersey avenue were
crowded. There was no fermality about the

as one could wish. The rooms had none but
the ordinary decorations, yet with the crowd
of well dressed, handsome women and ditto

appearance.

The Passage of the Wilson Bill.

The Passage oil tne wilson Bile
The passage of the Wilson bill, yes
terday, by the House of Representa-
tives with the signal majority OF ia
votes out of a total of 3H cast, is
the first grand step towards the re-
vival of industry and the new birth
of national prosperity. The con-
sentative opinion of the North and
East could have desired that the
tariff measure had gone through
without the annexation of the income
tax provisions. But it is better that
the bill should pass in any shape than
not at all. To those who believe
that the Wilson tariff will bring about
a revival of foreign commerce, the in
come tax appears a mere temporary
~expedient. Its need and its applica-
ton are certain to pass away in a
year or two. 1t is, therefore, a short
lived evil in comparison with the far
extending good of the removal OF the
Mckinley incubus from our trade.
There is something particularly
gratifying to all good democrats in the
scene of enthusiasm which marked
the final passage of the bill. Itshoweo
the sincerity of the majority; 1t
showed their conviction of the wisdom
and justice of their policy; 1t showed
their devotion to the principles as
serted by the people in the last cleo
ton and their loyalty to the leaders
who then led them to triumph. 10
papers like the Sun, which have at
tempted to treacherously wreck the
party. the triumph of Chairman Will
son comes as a rebuke, as crushing as
it is deserved. Let us hope its effect
will be discernible in the future con-
duct of these malcontents.
Attention will now be riveted upon
the Senate. wherein the measure has
still to pursue a stormy course. But
we have no serious fears of the result.
Yesterdays outburst of enthusiasm
and Yesterdays overwhelming vote
will give the faithful courage, will re-
assure the doubling and will bring
back to the fold many who have
strayed away. 1t will carry discom-
future and dismay into the ranks of
the enemy, whose best hope has been
in the alleged lack of heart and lack
of interest among the supporters OF
the new tariff.
Let us hope that the end will not
now be long postponed. The business
of the country already shows a ten
dency to recovery. Only the settle
ment of this great question is wanted.
Let all join in Fastening it so that the
wave Of prosperity may gain a new
imuaff1s.

GOOD NEWS FROM BAYoNNE FOLK

The Central Railroad gave its Bayonne
patrons a delightful surprise yesterday. The
company reduced the price of the monthly
communication ticket ten per cent.
For the excursion trip to New York, in
stead of thirty cents, the fare is now twenty
five cents, and so on for every station on the
southern branch of the road. The change
has been made because the company felt that
the traffic to New York had sensibly di-
unfinished during the past three months.
Although the Officials deny this, yet it Is a
fact that the Consolidated Traction Company
has hurt the local traffic. and hence the re-
duction in fares.

A Crazy Sectionalist

Every Confederate monument reared
10 the South is n stumbling block in the
way of the progress OF that palt of the
country. Northern capital will not
rally arnunh a monument the plain pur-
in,Se OF which, is to show hostility to
the North. Such Demonstrations as
that III Richmond nn Wednesday last
will not aid greatly in scraping the
moss off that ancient town.-New York
Advertiser.
The dictionary seems to be
express fifty the desnicable
nature of the newspaper that would
print such a sentiment as that contain
ed in the foregoing paragraph. Every
Confederate monument in the South
has Il dual significance. In the first
place, it is a tribute to the honor and
value of those who gave up their lives
for a principle-and no man may make
greater sacrifice than that. In the
second place, it reflects honor upon
those who have reared the monument,
for it tells of their gratitude and affeo-
tion-and it is for the gratitude and
affection of those that come after, that
the soldier bares his breast to the can
~. And if those who came after had
refused tn build these monuments if
they had refrained upon any ground Of
impoIicy; II they had not shown the
courage of their gratitude and affection
would they have been worth living
among9 Would they not have been
justly deapised by all men of honorq
Would they not have made proclama-
ton of an utter b~asenessP Would not
the Southern people have gone into
history as a pack of u%ngrateful ours in
whose nature the instinct of genuine
manhood was utterly lacking9 And
would such a people be worthy Ameri-
can citizenship The more Confed-
crate monuments reared on Southern
soil the nobler become the people who
rear them. They are not to be taken
for evidences of %disloyalty. They are
to be viewed as testimonials of the
loyalty of love. The South is not hos
tile to the North, nor is the North
hostile to the South. 1t is only the New
York Advertiser and its ilk that are
hostile and wholly for sensational pur-
poses. The country and the sections
are at peace, and the capitalists IN the
North have made SO many and such
enormous investments right in the
shadow of these monuments that they
regard with scorn any such expressions
as those which disgrace the columns
