Politics at the Historical socieiy''
Meeting.

Verbatim reports of the speech of Pro-
fessor Austen Scott at the s~emi-centen-
airy OF the New Jersey Historical So
ciety show that the i'll judged partisan
ship of that person placed an ineffaee-
able blot upon the proceedings. Among
the things which he spoke OF with SNUG
satisfaction was the part which New Jer-
sey played in the great Fraud or 1915.
Scott claimed honor for the State on
the ground that three of her citizens,
bradley, Parker and Frelinghuysen, had
taken foremost parts in perpetrating II.
He thought 1t specially glorious that the
vote of Bradley had settled the controver-
~ and averted bloodshed.
It is perhaps going a little far to say
that the country verged on b~loodshed IN
that crisis. We do not think there was
very much danger of civil war. But as
euredly, if there was. peace was never
bought at a dearer price than by the
aet OF the Electoral Commission. 1t was
peace with dishonor. a dishonor which
mas lTuctlieQ SLICE III ~
frauds which have corrupted the fran
chise and reversed the popular will. The
ballot box stufing which disgraced this
State some years ago was the direct
moral offspring of the seed sowed by
Parker, Frelinghuysen and Bradley and
their colleagues when they deprived
Samuel J. Tilden of the Office to which he
had manifestly been chosen by the people
and placed the miserable Rutherford B,
Hayes in the Presidential chair.
Indeed, the Historical Soeiety's meet
ing was married by more than one
exhibition of bad taste in the line Of par
tisanship. The gentleman, for instance,
whe waved his hat and cheered for
Little Ben as the next President of the
United States was guilty of an act of
marked dndecorum. The State Historical
Society should hardly be made the arena
forxhe launch of a political boom.

A SPLENDID EXAMPLE,

81 think ambition is never given without a
p,ind of sufficient power to sustain it and to
aahieve its lofty object" 80
Who wrote these words? A boy of I6,
named Bayard Taylor, as he looked proudly
upon an autograph Charles Dickens had
given him, and LEFT within him that fire of
ambition that was never quenched.
The Quaker boy of the little town of Ken
meth Square, near Philadelphia--w was
born Jan. II. Ises-grew to be very fond of
books, and often when sent to rock the baby
would forget all about the crying infant, so
deeply would he be absorbed in story Of
travel or delightful poem.
His father was poor farmer who had no
money to spend on books, SO Bayard set GU,
gathering nuts, which he sold, and, instead
of rushing off to candy store, like some
boys and girls, he invested his money more
wisely in buying books. AT ID he was
studying Latin and FRENCH, IS found him
deep in Spanish. At II he was no longer
the pupil, but the assistant in the school.
The story of his life, with its deep shadows
and bright lights, is beautiful and full Of in.
spirstion.
nEvery boy and girl Of America, England
and Germany should know ii by heart, says
the New York Press. And see how the pen.
niless lad at last reaches some Of the heights
OF ais ambition, and at President Hayes
request became minister to Berlin and was
kelcomed cordially by Emperor William and
had fora fast freud Bismarck. Some Of his
works should be in every library.

Nothing but selfish confidence is
needed to make us in every respect
the foremost manufacturing coun-
try Of the earth, says the American
Wool and Cotton Reporter.
Even the bugbear of British
supremacy is losing much of its
terror in the light of recent events;
when Preston, England, firm Of
sateen makers resolve to move to
Rouen, France (where already En-,
glish manufacturing firms are estab.
lished), because factory hours are
longer and work people easier to
deal with, it hardly appears that
the situatiun in Lancashire were
such as to constitute a menace to
the industries Of Fall River, New
Bedford, Lowell and Lawrence, or
any other home manufacturing cen.
ter, north or south.
Certain American manufacturers
are quietly working for the devel-
opment of an export trade in cot
tons, and have sent out statesmen to
the West Indies, South America and
elsewhere; this has even attract /
the attention of our contemporaries
across the sea, one Of whom during
the present month, dilating upon
this very circumstance Of the enter
prise Of certain of our nanufactur.
ers, expresses himself substantially
as follows: 1t behooves British
manufacturers to constantly call to
mind the fact that the competition
Of Americans in the foreign mar
kets will be Of the keenest charac-
ter 1t may not be many years be-
fore the phrase "made in the United
States" becomes as frequent as
''made in Germany" The Ameri-
can manufacturer is a w;de-awake,
Intelligent man, whose commercial
instinct and business ability are
net a whit behind those of his
European competitor. Many of
the larger American mills mean to
do large foreign trade.
Speaking of the outlook for trade
with Japan, our transatlantic re-
viewer says: American manufac-
turers Of almost all kinds of goods
have at present their eyes on Japan
as a market, and they also expect
to improve their position in China
when the Mongolian war is over;
they have lost ground in this mar
ket during recent years; now, how
ever, its recovery is anticipated.
The discourse terminates with the
declaration that British merchants
and manufacturers must be pre-.
pared to move forward if they ex.
pect to keep the Eastern trade.

The court estimate Of the Gould
estate at $50, 1884, ,5SO.79 is as inter.
esting as it is important in the af
fairs of country in which every
man is supposed to earn all he gets,
says the New York World.
When man earns dollar he
gives a dollars worth of work or
skill or genius in exchange for it.
Unless he steals it or defrauds
the world of it he gives back for
every dollar he takes at least q dol.
lars worth.
No one can deny that this is the
law Of property. No one can rea.
sonably. assert that this immense
accumulation conforms to it. d,
The estate was accumulated by
the very simple system of printing
figures and dollar marks on pieces
of cheap paper, and then by cor
rupt control ofthe lawmaking power
of the people forcing. the workers
of the country to surrender enough
of their earnings to give value to
the paper
That is financiering. 1t differs
from stealing because thieves are
punished, while the heirs of fnan
ciers dine with the Prince Of Wales.

In an interview at La Crosse,
Wis, regarding the ban against Sc
cret societies sent out from Rome
Bishop Schwebach SAID:
The church has always condemned oath
bound societies. and tn ,ugh in some portions
of the country a leniency has beer exercised
toward some of the better organizations, it is
thought advisable for the church to enforce
lis rules IN this regard, and members of the
| church who vii, continue to be members will
| not affiliate in 0ath-bound societies. One OF
the principal lcasons why this is a rule Of the
church is in The fact that such societies d-
reetly controvert the cardinal principle of
Christianity as exemplied by the Roman
Catholic church. The. primal principle of
our religion is charity-not TO any class, but
to all; and each member of the church must
exercise charity to all. These societies have
also charity, but by their associations and
oaths their charity is confpGt pns u:uteys of
their orgaaization. This srrer tnat Is that
of true Christian is untenaEle, for cha,ity
is not of and Cannot be given to favored
oath-bound few. for it is of all the world,
Christian and Pagan, The chNrch has taken
this step not as new policy, but simply as a
drawing of the lines Of its foundation, and
the matter is now settled for all time to come.
This diocese is not affected to any great de-
gree, nor is the state, for there are less than
200 persons in the diocese that will come un-
der the rule and probably not over 5000 in
the state. Really, there is no,hing new alb out
this matter, for the societies in question have
always been discountenanced because of their
secrecy and oaths, so that what has lately
been done has not been of much importance
other than to emphasize The position of the
church.
