very bad set back in the Massachusetts,
municipal elections. In only one city
were they successful, and in several places.
their espousal of an unexceptionable ticket
so weighted it that it was defeated. 1t
must not be inferred from this that the
people are hostile to the avowed princi-
pies OF the A. z. A. AS matter of fact
they favor many of them. They certainly
are earnestly in favor of the preservation
OF the public school system, they are
friendly to some restriction of immiera-
zion and thsy do lot want men in places
of public responsibility who recognize
AIRY sovereignty as superior to that of the
peor.e of the United States Of America
But they are opposed to the political os-
tracism of any citizen simply on account
OF his religion, and they do not propose
to permit a secret Society to dictate to
them what men shall be placed in Office
We have no doubt a good many people
have joined this society for no other reas
on than that they thought it the path
to political preferment Others have
identified themselves with it because
they honestly believed that Romanism
was menace to our institutions and that
it could be best combatted through So
ciety like this. The first class deserve
nothing but contempt To the second is
to be accorded the merit of being honest
and sincere, though we think them intel.
lectually short sighted since their method
of fighting Romanism tends really to
strengthen it and to check the progress
toward liberality and Independence of
priestly control and dictation that has
been observable for years among the
Catholic laity.

MR.. REEDS SPEECH TO THE eau
(Springfeld Union. }

These reflections are justified by Speak
or Reeds speech to the Repu blican caucus
on Saturday. The most conservative
Republican cannot fail to commend iti
judicious spirit 1t does not mean that
the Speaker is a trimmer, or that he will
be half-hearted in standing up for Re.
publican principles. He was radical six
years ago because the situation could be
dealt with only by radical action; he is
conservative today because the situation
requires conservative action. Those who
think that Tom Reel is chronic ex-
tremist, and can be nothing else, have
only superficial knowledge of his char
acter, based on the sensational episodes
in which he figured as Speaker in 1890.
If we do not mistake his personal ten
denotes, as well as his interests as an
aspirant for the Presidency, he will be
reckoned one of the most conservative
Republicans in the country at the end OF
this session Of Congress.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE TARIFF

1t was but little over a year ago that
President Cleveland declared in a letter
to the Hon. William L. Wilson,, then
chairman of the committee on ways and
means, that the tariff bill which was
then pending in the House and was sub
sequently passed and is now the law of
the land, was piece of party perf1dy and
public dishonor. 1t was but little longer
ago than year that President Cleveland
in a letter to Mr.. Mills excusing himself
for permitting this bill to become a law
affirmed that it twas vantage ground
rom which must be waged further
aggressive operations against protected
monopoly and governmental fayorit-
ism", and refused "to 40 cept the results
embodied in the bill as the close Of the
war" In the same letter he said the

The 24th annual convocation of Grand
Circle, Brotherhood of the Union, of New
Jersey, closed its session in Mystic Chain
Hall last Wednesday, the last ceremonies
being the Installation of the officers, who
were elected in the afternoon, to serve for
the ensuing year.
The statistical reports showed that the
present number of Circles in the State is
81; the prcent membership is $3.50, which
is an increase during last year of 52s.
The roisl receipts of the Grand Council
for the year5was 81 1899 with expendi-

Circles was S32, ,547,4l The amount ex-
pended for relief of members for the year
is s., 40l,66; the amount of funeral bene-
fits paid was $9,3H,61.
Five new Circles were organized dur
ing the year.
There has been a large accession to the
membership during the past few years,
owing largely to the establishment of the
Funeral Benefit Fund, which pays on the
death Of member $500, besides what his
individual circle allows. An increase of
at least 1900 has been the result of the
Funeral Benefit measure.

practice. In 1875 he was elected to the
Assembly from the old First district of
Passalc county, then comprising the
Fourth, Fifth and Eighth wards of Pater-
son, Acquackanonk township and the
city of Passaic.
The Constitutional Amendments had
just been adopted, and the Legislature of
1876 addressed itself to the work of revis-
ing many of the laws and of conforming
the legislation of the State to the amended
Constitution. In this work Mr.. Griggs
took an active part, and many of the most
important general laws were committed
to him for revision and completion in
their details.
The election law of 1876 was among
these measures. He was reelected in
1876 and continued this same kind of
work, bis peculiar fitness therefore being
readily conceded by his fellow members.
Very much against his will, and, in fact,
against his positive declarations that he
would not be candidate, he was nomi-
mated for third time by the Republicans
of his district, who felt that success was
only possible with him as their leader.
But, although he made an exceptionally
good run, the popular tide was strongly
against his party, and he was defeated.
In 1878 he was appointed counsel of the
Board of Chosen Freeholders, which
office he held until, in 1879, he was ap-
pointed City Counsel of Paterson, when
he declined a reelection to the county
board. Hewas reappointed City Counsel
of Paterson in 1880, 81 and 'S2 his term
being from May to May.
In 1880 he was chairman of the Special
Joint Committee on Corporate Taxation,
also Of the Committees on Education,
Fisheries, and Sinking Fund, and a mem
Der of the Committee on Revision of
Laws, Finance, and Soldiers Home. In
1894 he was rendered Supreme Court
Judgeship by Judge Albeit but declined

CUMBERLAND IN IT.
How the the Delegation Showed Its Han

How the the Delegation Showed Its Hand.
Cumberland county elected unpledged
delegates, and in Trenton they were free
to do as they pleased, and as a result
their votes were cast where they counted.
Cumberland was at all times enthusi-
astic and much in evidence. Assembly
man Minch had provided for most of
the party, and they were quartered in the
crowded Trenton House, which seemed to
be the popular candidates headquarters.
In addition to the delegates, there was
large gathering of politicians from here
abouts. Among the many from Bridge
ton were Sheriff Shinn, Surrogate
Fithian, County Physician Thompson,
Mayor Appelgate, Secretary Board of
Health Woodruff, City Solicitor Thomas
w. Trenchard, ex-Sheriff Whitecar,
Fred Frambus, J. Hampton Fithian, ex-
Freeholder VIM. J. Moore, ex-Coroner 1.
F. Barnes, Samuel w. Hall, Charles
Strang, Geo. w. MCGOWAN, Harry Pier
son, Alex, Lang, John H. Pierce, Win
field Betchner, Robert Harker, Lorenzo
Woodruff and Samuel Humphreys.
The Cumberland delegates were much
sought after by all the candidates and
managers, and early Wednesday evening
it was learned that there would be a
divided delegation, each man supporting
his individual choice.
At the Cumberland caucus, Senator
Stokes was unanimously chosen as chair
man of the delegation. The following
were fixed upon as the members of COM
mittees in convention Vice President,
Hon. B. HI. Minch; Credentials, Morris
Davis, Hopewell; Rules, David Clay
poole, Lawrence; Resolutions, Jarvis
Wanser, Vineland.
In the Convention, on the first ballot,
Cumberland gave Kean 16 votes; Griggs,
8; VOORHEES,, 6, and Rogers l. On the sec
ond, Kean, Isl Griggs, 6; Voorhees,, Z.
On the third ballot, Cumberland was the
second county to change, and the entire
twenty eight votes went to Griggs amid
tremendous cheering.
Most of the Cumberland elegation
came to Philadelphia last night, and this
morning returned home.
