He IS A REPUBLICAN
Two Prominent Democrats Cor
reetly Appraise Jim Smiths
Democracy.

Counsellor Otto Grouse, who is an advo-
Of Senator Smiths letter to the E~nglewood
Democracy said:-"His defense of his
position OIL the income tax is no defense of
his later attitude on the tariff bill. The
people of New Jersey are convinced, whether
properly so or not, that the position he
assumed on the bill is brought about by his
being tied up to the trusts. Ii he is sincere
in his statement that factories would
be closed under the operation
of the Wilson bill his ideas are of the high
protectionist Republican school, and if they
were held by MIN at the time he was sent to
the United States Senate he was neither
true to his party nor its platform in going
there as a democrat"
Counsellor George L. Record also spoke in
a condemnatory strain. He said:-"I think
the intelligent sentiment of the party
throughout the State is strongly in favor of
the Wilson bill and chat the notifications
made by the Senate bill are designed to
benefit directly the various trusts and
.monepelies which the protective system has
developed. Mr.. Smiths reply as far as it bears
upon the tariff is the utterance of an out
and-out protectionist. The assumption that
the reductions made by the Wilson bill
would destroy industries is purely a Repub
lican position, ana if those are Senator
Smiths convictions his place is in
the Republican party. There is
parties in this country. The fight is on be-
tween the Republican proteetionist idea
ana the Democratic low tariff or free trade
idea. The Democratic party is committed
to the latter, and Senator Smith is bound to
support that policy or leave the party"

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The Coming Fashions For Ladies.
That is what is commonly conceded to be
the most difficult epoch of the year in the
realms of fashion, for, while all modes seem
to be in an undecided state, yet everybody
is most anxious to learn what turn the new
fashions will take since all those interested
on this subject must be preparing for the
coming season-the busiest of the year. In
their eagerness to secure novel ideas many
dressmakers cross the ocean, a still greater
number turn their eyes TOWARD New York.
while the majority are anxiously inquiring
from every possible quarter in order to OBJ
tuin the much desired information. Now it
is undoubtedly true that the surest safest,
most convenient n practical way of at
tanning this end is to become a subscriber of
a substantial fashion magazine, whose in-
formation is reliable and which offers the
greatest variety of subjects. Such maya
zine--or rather magazines-are the well
known Mcdowell French Fashion Periodi-
cals-the best and most popular of the kind,
both in the old world and in this country.
They are La Mode de Paris, Pofis Album of
Fashion. The French Dsessmnhef. La Mode
is a family journal, with colored plates, UNI
equa1led in price and artistic merit.

story of An Attempted Burglary al
lfr Pcrlmutterss HOUSE.

koA vi
Mr.. Perlmutterss House.
Captain Fafrier is looking into a case OF
alleged tinidity ON the part of Policeman
Alderman. On Friday morning, about one
O'Clock. William Corlears, alias eO'Connor,
attempted to effect an entrance to Mr..
Prosers' house at No. 2 Paulmier
place. Being unsuccessful, he tried
the home of Mr.. Perlmutter
next door. The noise made aroused Joseph
and Harry PerImutter. who were in charge
of the house. After watching the burglar
for a short time, Joseph Perlmuttel' whistled
and called for a policeman. 1t was fully
half an hour before one put in an appear
ance.
The burglar, in the meantime, had sealed
a back fence, and made his way almost/to
JERSEY avenue through the back yards. The
Perimutter boys told Policeman Alderman
upon his arrival which way the men had
gone. With a revolver in his hand Acker-
man examined the windows and doors
but made no effort to go over the fences
after the burglar. He was finally aroused
to a sense of duty by Harry Perlmutter, who
screamed from the window that unless he
went over the fence he would 60 down and
do it for HIM.
Alderman then found the thief in a wood
shed in the middle of the block. Joseph
Perlmutter identified the burglar at Police
Headquarters. Captain Farrier will send
Alderman before the Police Board if he
finds sufficient evidence to charge him with
cowardice.

MANDoLINs.

Formerly all the mandolins used in this
country were imported from Germany and
Italy; now nearly all that are used here,
and a great many are used, are made in this
country. l the past year and a half or two
years the mandolin has become very popular
here, and its popularity shows no signs of
diminishing The demand for mandolins
comes from all over the country, and it is. so
great that wholesale dealers in musical in-
sstruments are always able to keep up with
it promptly. 1t is sa d that we make in this
country mandolins better than the imported,
and the same is said of American guitars.
Guitars made i'll this country are now used
throughout the land. and they are exported
to all Spanish American countries.

ROsEBERY A FRIEND 0F AMERICA

Whatever may be an Americans views of
Lord Rosebery there can be no question that
he differs radically from former Premiers in
his attitude toward the United States.
From Palmerston to Salisbury every head of
the British Government has been really hos
tile to this country and ready to TAX adj
vantage of any opportunity to do it at an in
jury. In the light Of Gladstone's latest
stand in regard to skin beyond the sea" the
present generation is apt to forget that he
was an active friend of tho Confederaey and
gave it aid and comfort at a time when it
bade fair to rupture the Union, Disraeli al
ways had q sneer for our government, and
Salisbury has often spoken his mind freely
III regard to republican government. which
be detests. So the frank and Hndisguised
liking which the present Premier shows for
America md the American Government is
noteworthy as a striking contrast to the at
titude and words of his predecessors.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

THE SHIP CANAL PROJECT.
The Actual Work About to Begin
Routes to Ese Surveyed.
Special to the Jeqseu CITY NeWs.

SHS cS''SO ~ 49,
TRENTON. Aug. 4, 1894.
If a conclusion is formed by what has been
printed from time to time in the State and
metropolitan newspapers about the big ship
canal across New Jersey, which has received
SO much attention from Trenton and the
Board of Trade, the route has been definite
ly. fixed and Trenton is tie derive nc advan-
tage whatever from the new scheme. The
conditions have necessarily become much
mixed. in the minds of many people. but an
Investigation among those who keep in
on the subject has brought out con-
siderable interesting information.
A decisive movement will be made within
thenext thirty days under the direction OF
the: Special Canal Commission created by an
ordinance of the council OF Philadelphia.
This commission is comprised of the best en-
.gineers and business men of Philadelphia.
and they have Sl0,00 to spend to perfect a
number of preliminary surveys of routes that
have already been discussed and others in
contemplation.
The commission are now engaged in Or
ganizing their engineer corps, but have not
reached any conclusion how many routes
will he surveyed. But work is to begin and
enough important data will be secured by
winter to bring about exhaustive discussions
on the subject.
PRESIDENT Edmund C. Hill, when seen last
night by a reporter, stated that the Phila-
delphia Commission was composed of COM
petent but. conservative men who will make
a complete study of the feasibility of the
scheme. The statements that have been
made that Trenton was to nave the go7by,"
were evolved from a -misconception of the
work of the commission. While the purpose
of the commission has been technically
changed, they are to devise a plan for a di-
rect connection from Philadelphia to the sea.
It did not change any part of the scheme. 1t
has caused an abandonment of the several
courses already discussed, namely the one sug-
gested by Prof. Haupt, which follows the
bed of the Delaware and Raritan Canal, not
the straight line OF new canal suggested by
State Geologist Smock of this State. Both
these routes will be surveyed, and others.
too, and particularly the one straight across
Jersey to the ocean front. New Jersey will
cooperate with the Philadelphia Commits
sion as soon as possible and the scheme will
take some tangible shape very soon. As
soon as a preference of the route is made
then the financial end will be discussed.
Trenton has still a good chance of getting
the benefits of this great canal project.

The Street and Water Board Changes.

The Street and Water Board Changes.
There has been SO much vague talk
about the action of the Street and
Water Board in respect to the reduc-
tion of expenses SO elnplIaticaily pro-
missed to the public, that a reporter
of THE NEWS has been detailed dur
ing the past week to investigate the
facts. The results of his enquiries.
based throughout upon official re-
cords, will be found in our news col
ulnns.
From these it appears that just lou
democrats have been turned out of
Office by the new Commissioners, and
just $50 men presumably repub-
licans-have been appointed in their
stead. OF the appointments, eight
are described as temporary, these
being the men employed in repairing
the broken and dilapidated water
main across the Hackensack Mea-
dows. They are still on the city
pay rolls, but it is alleged that when
their work is completed-some time
this or next menth-they will be laid
of, thus fixing the net reduction OF
employees at as.
Most of the reductions are of small
salaried men, earning from fifty to
se~venty-five a month. The two lin
spectors" whose s%inecures have been
abolished were the only ones getting
any higher pay. The average of the
twenty-eight might be as high as
sixty dollars a month. This would
make the total reduction in the pay
roll 81, $50 a month or $50, 100 a year
a considerable though not ali enor-
nous economy. There is some talk
of still further reductions in expenses;
but we do not take much stock in it.
The tendency will be rather to in
crease than to diminish force as the
new broom has its bristies rounded
off
There are no politics in this analysis
OF facts which we lay before the peo-
pie. The citizens are entitled to
know what is being done. They do
know now. Anyone who "a get any
advantage out of the revelations is
heartily welcome to it.

The Hope of Better Business.

r. g. Dun & Co. take a very hope
They think forces are at work in the
interior tending to a very active re-
sumption as oon as the tariff situa-
ton is definitely solved. They con
slider that the crop prospects may have
considerable influence in determining
the extent of the boom; but the boom
IS approaching just as surely as the
fall season.
At the same time news ON from
Washington, Indicating that some
settlement of the tariff question is at
hand. There is hope that inside the
coming week we will kno definitely
where we stand. Both sides seem
willing to sacrifice a little now, and
there is room to hope THAT the bill
will be put in such shape that the
President can sign it, even though it
fail very short of what he would de-
sire.
The crop prospects are good too.
There have been contradi Glory re-
ports about these, and u~ndoubtedly
some loss has resulted from drought
in some of the States, but on the
whole, we believe the yield will be UP
to the average. The warm the East
may give new market to sonfe of u
western produce. Rice and other
cereals may be in demand in both
China ard Japan, and so good deal
of money may flow Unto the farmers
pockets from an unusual source, and
make up for their recent losses. 1T is
not impossible that the war may
profit this country in ether ways as
well.
Taking one thing with another,
shere is better room thansever before
fer tire hope that the season of de-
preston is at an end.
