WANTS WOMEN TO Vote
The Rev. Charles Wallis Ser
mon in the First Univer-
salist Church.

The Rev. Charles H. Vail, pastor OF
the First Universalist Church, preached
a sermon on Good Government yes
terday, in which he advocated woman
suffrage. Among other things he said
II have no sympathy with people who
keep out of politics. Some young men
say politics is 50 mean they will AVE
nothing to do with it, and will devote
their time to literature or art. Busi-
ness men say they AVE too much to do
to go into politics, so the government
drifts into reckless, hands until the bust
ness mems fortunes suffer.
UNTRUE TO HIS COUNTRY.
"A man cannot be true to his coun-
try without taking part in its affairs.

him alone. There ought to be a fun and

AUTUMNAL DAY SERVICES.

At the South Bergen Reformed Church
last night there were very beautiful and
impressive Autumnal Day services. The
church was decorated with autumn leaves
and American flags. The service opened
with the singing of a Te Deum by the
~quartette choir. Following that there
was singing and speaking by fifteen
children. The Rev. w. d. Grant spoke
on "Gratitude and Giving" and he asked
for a collection of 500 for the church
building fund. While the collection was
being gathered the children sang BLESS
the Gifts and Bless the Givers," and at
the conclusion of the singing piled fruits
and lowers upon the collection plates.
Then gifts will be taken to the Home
of the Homeless. Miss Fellows sang
"Callest Thou Thus, Oh, Master"

TO BEGIN SUIT AGAINST FISH.
Mrs. Crawford Will Seek TO Recover
the Money She Loaned Him.

the Money She Loaned Him..
Tax Clerk Rector B. Fish's fight with
Mrs. Caroline Crawford, whom, he al
leges, was infatuated with him, was
still being discussed at City Hall this
morning, and Fish was pretty roughly
handled. Mrs. Crawford lives at No. 20
West Seventy-first street, New York,
but she could not be seen by reporters
yesterday. a middle-aged man declaring
that she left the city with her husband.
Mrs. Crawford denies the report of pend
ing marital trouble. She insists that the
trouble arose from the refusal of Fish
to pay her about $1,000, which he had
borrowed from her. Mrs. Crawford says
she intends to deal with Fish in a way
he little expects. Her husband is a
banker, doing business in Wall street,
1t appears that he knew his wife was
lending Fish money, but supposed he was
man enough to pay it back. Fish will
probably be sued for the full amount of
the notes held by Mrs. Crawford.

For Voters to Remember.

The first thing for voters to remember
Is that the Lexow Committee is not sit
ting in New Jersey. 1t has nothing to do
with the election in this State. Hugh j.
Grant is not running in Hudson county,
and Captain Brogan and Captain
Schmittberger do not belong to the Jersey
City police. The Rev. DIR. Scudder seems
to think differently. but he is in error
as usual.
The issues on which we are fighting in
this State are, first, the National ones
Federal interference in State election,
stoppage of fraudulent pensions, reduction
in the expenses of government, reform OF
the tariff and in general a return to the
primitive principles on which the Consti-
tuition is founded.
The State issues involved embrace the
general bad record of the Republican
party wherever it has been in power in
the last twenty years and the nigh SER
vices lone the State by the Democracy.
PROMINENT IGdluTGS VI AHC PiOAAASNo
made by the Republican leaders and can
didates in the campaign last year and
shamelessly broken when the election
was won.
Let us not get away from these things.
Let us have no Parkhurst in ours, no
Hill, no Tekulsky, no Golf. They are
none of our business. We have Edwin A.
Stevens against Thomas Fakir McEwan;
we have eleven clean, sound, honorable
Democrats running for Assemblynen
against eleven men whom General Sew
ell can depend on at the right time to
send him to the Senate or to scotch the
equal taxation of the railways. Let us
stick to the issues right here before US
in Hudson county. Let us use our brains
on them and we will make nc mistakes.
EVERY voter before casting his vote
tomorrow should give just one moments
thought to John /. D~avenports iron
cage in the New York Post Office, and
to the fact that Thomas McEwan was
Davenport's side partner, the Federal
Supervisor of Elections for this city.

THE ARID LAIN DS.

A bill, says the Los Angeles Times. was recently introduced in Congress by Senator Power, of Montana, which has ip view the reclamation of the arid lands under the management Of the govern ment. Senator Power proposes that the Secretary of War undertake a large number of surveys of lands with water possibilities in several states, with avlew to determining just what steps are advis- able and practicable for irrigating land that is now useless from lack of water. Maps of different sections are to be prepared and estimates made of the cost of the work of leading water to the points where it can be made most useful.
 la this connection we are pleased to note that ct least one of our Pacific Coast contemporaries-the San Francis co Chronicle-has taken the same posi- tion as the Times On this question and came out strongly in favor of govern ment control in the reclamation of arid lands. The Chronicle says:
 "Senator Powers bill, which is only an entering wedge, proceeds upon the proper theoR This arid lands belongs to the goverHnent-that is to the people of the URited States-and the govern ment should make it useful and avail able, just as 1t makes rivers and harbort navigable and builds buildings for th' benefit of the public.

IN Phoenix there has b. en a good | deal of honest rivalry at the primaries, which We suppose were held Tn that city yesterday, between the friends of pr. Goodrich and Oakes Murphy. When the doctor WAS here, he was of the belief | that he could clean up a solid delega- tion, although he frankly acknowledged that there was a mist of opposition to the regular organization, largely because of the unpopulsrity of its official heads, but as both parties appeared to be work ing in his interest he read his title clear to solid delegation iD tbe territorial convention from Msricopa county. On this proposition N O. Murphy dissent ed and declared that he could carry the county delegation to a man. The result probably was two primary tickets in the field. The end will be watched with in- terest. At mass meeting yesterday over which Judge Webster Street pres ided primary ticket was named. This | ticket the Herald declares to have been a cut and dried affair, but this part of the program is nothisg to us. Marico- pa county republicans are capable of settling their own differences. Ia the meeting referred to 130 votes were poll ed of which 127 were the straight" tick. ct, which presumably means pr. Good l rich, but here is where the oldest oi kinks come in. Dispatches have been received, filed in Phoenix as late as 9:15 last night stating that Governor Mur. phy had '-carried the primary elections by three to one." By this we infer that two tickets were in the field and that primary elections were held yesterday If this is the case the complication oi the Msricopa county delegation has been settled. As the republican con
 gressional delegate will in all probabili ty come from Maricopa county the re
 suit of their primary elections is mat
 ter of territorial importance.

Sig Cattle Thieves.

The following dispatch from San Antonis will be interesting reading to
 cattlemen.
 Cattlemen of the Big Bend coun- try west Texas have called the attention of the state authorities to the whole sale stealing of cattle and other live
 stock that is being carried in on that
 section. Frank Collinson, who is one of
 the largest cattle raisers in the Big
 Bend country, states that herd Of
 about 20O0 head has recently been gath
 cred near Agua Fris and driveh across
 the Rio Grande, just above Dead Horse
 canyon to the vicinity of the Carmen mines and from there to Sierra Molada,
 Mexico. He dispatched man at once m search of the missing cattle but the
 recent heavy rains had removed every t1ack of their trail. These cattle are owned by every stockman in that DOT tion of the country. MT. Collinson, who is an old plainsman and pioneer, scouts the idea of the thieves being solely Mexicaus, but says that cool heated white man is the brains and backbone of the gigantic steal. Every precaution is being taken against any further rep etition, and the thieves, if appre-
 handed. will be treated to punishment | by Judge Lynch.

AUG. I,.IS95. The Date Made for Arizo-

 Ratify 8 Constitution.
NEW MEXICO'S CASE.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The New Mex leo and Arizona admission bills were re- ported to the senate today.
 In the case of New Mexico a consti- tutional convention is provided for, dele gates to which are 10 be chosen at an election to be held on the second Tues day n June, 1895, and the convention is to meet on the second Tuesday m the following July. In case they adopt the constitution it is to be submitted to the people for ratification at an election to be held on Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 1896. The time of residence necessary to become voter is fixed at six months. instead of sixty days, as in the house bill.
 Arizona has already adopted a csDsti- tuition, and the bill in her case provides for admission on the 1st of August, 1895, and the election of delegate to the 54th congress.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 4.-The tariff con- ferees have been at work today with the sugar schedule. It is claimed that the Louisans men cannot afford vote against the bill as congress would certainly pass the free sugar bill before adiourning.

POLITICAL ROOM.

ThesLos Angeles Express has the following kindly words to say of Arizona.
 Arizona Is enjoying political boom. The prospects that the state will soon he admitted into the union has already produced large crop of would be seD- ators governors, congressman and other candidates, and the campaign IS already practically commenced. It is recogniz- ed that although the state cannot possibly hold its constitutional conven- tion and be admitted before November, the delegate who is elected to congress this fall will probably be senator be- fore congress meets in December 1895, has made that position particularly desirable, and big fight is to be made in both parties for the nomination, and afterwards for the election. The polite al outlook has helped to distract atten- tion from the business depression in Arizona, and great confidence is expres- sed that the admission of the territory will make business hum and create a veritable boom, especially, as one Of the first things the new state Is likely to do will be the irrigation by the state of some of its desert land.
