The Township secession scheme.

The Township Secession Scheme.
The very bridges which so closely
bind Harrison and Kearny with New
ark were built with the money Of
Jersey City and Hoboken. The peo-
pie of these two malcontent towns
complain of the taxes they have paid
to Hudson county; in fact, they have
received back in public Improvements
five times the amount they have con-
tributed to the county expenses.
What are all the roads across the
meadows for ? What are all the
bridges across the Hackensack and
Passaic built and maintained for?
Have we any use for them? Do they
add to Jersey City's business or in
crease the convenience of its resi-
dents2 No, they are for the accom-
mediation of Harrison and Kearny.
Their people use them to reach the
cities of Newark and Jersey City.
Their teamsters use them, their manu-
facturers uss them. Their real estate
improves through them. And their
taxpayers kick about paying the
cost.
Mayor Pagan was right, last even
ing, when he said that Hoboken and
Jersey City were one on this question.
It is both the interest and the daty of
the whole county to resist this con-
temptible effort at secession. Indeed.
if they were otherwise, the people Of
these towns would resist the attempt
themselves. When they get into the
clutches of greedy Essex. they will
wish they were back here. The very
first result will be the increase OF the
assessment of all property from fifty
per cent. of its value to about ninety
per cent. The people will find them
selves in the clutches of q more dis
honest Board Of F~reehoiders than ours
ever dared be, and they will find that
absolutely no return in the way of
public improvements will be vouch-
safed for their contribution to the
Essex treasury. They should read the
Newark papers a little and see how
things are managed beyond the Pas
sale. -xAos,sta e5aihsmas.al

A Great Cathedral Organ.

The Philadelphia Inquirer says
What is claimed TO be the most COM
plete, elaborate and costly cathedral
organ in this country is being erected
in st. Luke's Protestant Episcopal
Church, Germantown, Penn, its cost
being $4,000. The specifications
have received the approval Of Sir John
Stainer, the celebrated organist, late
Of st. Pauls Cathedral, London.
There will be three manuals, but
there will be five distinct organs con-
trolled by them, the swell organ, first
great organ, second great organ, choir
organ and echo organ, with independ-
ent pedal organ, having a thirty-two
foot foundation.
An interesting feature Of the in
strument will be its orchestral stops
and wonderful effects, which have
only once before been presented in
this country by the builder, Carlton
G. Mitchell, in his famous organ in
st. stephens Church Boston. The
whole Of the mechanical movements,
key action, draw stops. etc, will be
under tubular pneumatic control. 1t
is winded with separate reservoirs,
supplying each division Of the instru-
ment with distinct and independent
wind.
The organ will be blown by Ross
water motor, acting on four hori-
zontal feeders five feet square, placed
in the chamber beneath the organ.
The instrument is divided. The
swell and choir organs, with por-
tion of the pedal organ, are placed on
the south side OF the church. while
the two great organs and echo organ
are on the north side, separated
twenty-five feet. The manuals are
on the north side OF the church.

The Gopher Plant.

When travellers crossed the plains
at the time when the Pacific rail-
roads were first built, n beautiful
plant called Euphorbia albo-margin-
alta used TO come up frequently along
the railroad tracks, which the labor
ers believed TO grow from seed that
had been waiting there TO sprout
since the food. They called it Snow
On the Mountain" because the bracts
under the flowers, such as we see in
Poinsetta and other euphorbiaceous
plants, were striped with white
among the green. 1t is now stated
in California circles that where this
plant grows gophers will receive no.
tice TO quit. II is remarkable that IL
Is said OF another euphorbiaceOus
plant, the castor-oil plant, that where
sit is grown moles will never appear.
No one has put great faith In this
statement, but that two plants OF the
same family should be watched by
two classes Of observers, wholly in
dependent OF each other, and be re-
ported TO have exactly the same
effect on destructive rodents, indi-

better that these young men, bound

toilsome and disagreeable kind,

The top floor is used exclusively
by the residing workers, headed by
DIR. Stanton Colt. 1t includes a sit
ting room, dining room, three bed
rooms, pantry and kitchen. The
halls, stairs and club room floors are
bare. The top floor is covered with
mating and artistic but inexpensive
art rugs, and all the furniture is of
the simplest description, but do not
think / exaggerate when / say that
nine out of ten housekeepers could
take lesson here in neatness and
cleanliness; the housekeepers Of this
establishment, be it borne in mind,
are men. Such shining windows,
such spotless floors, such immaculate
freedom from dust | do not pre-
tend to compass in my own simple
menage.
Having learned where the Neighbor-
hood Guild is and briefly what it is, the
inquiring mind next asks, What are
its aims, what it has accomplished
and what are its aspirations for the
future?
It's object, quoting from its constitu-
ton, is 'to bring men and women OF
education into closer relations with
the laboring classes for their mutual
benefit" Being debarred by this con-
stitution from becoming 1.-The vehicle
Of any creed, religious, political or
socio-economic, " its efforts TO do good
must rest upon deep human sympa-
thies.
In telling what the Guild is i find
that have omitted very important
branch Of its work, viz. the kinder
garten. The dues are 10 cents per
week, which pays for the daily lun-
cheon Of bread and milk. There are
fifty-two children in the class, and
mothers are fast gaining faith in the
school. Fifty-two children are carry
ing the refining and civilizing infiu-
ences Of this school into their homes
and are being assured of future for
themselves that shall make such
homes as many of them now come
