That the art of boarding a trolley car in
motion is not monopolized by the members
of the sterner sex was demonstrated at Dan
forth avenue last night when a matronly
lady essayed the feat and succeeded.
Judging from the opera glasses held in her
hand she was bound for the theatre. The
hour was growing late and several cars
like a streak of creased lightning. When a
car came along at a moderate speed, it was
plain to see from the determined look on her
face that she meant to do something desper-
ate. She did. As the car reached her she
signalled to the ~motorman, and he, like
those that preceded him, needed her not.

she gave a slight jump and landed on the

quickly made way for her and by mus

ton that she paid her fair and settled
down in the seat offered her by a gentleman.

THE FATHERS TEACHINGS.
To the Child He Must Kncarnate tn

Principles Learned From the Mother
The boy loves his mother probably more
han he does his father, but so far as re-
lates to the affairs of life in general and
On its hard side, he has ten times the con-
fdence in his fathers practical and avail
able wisdom hat he has in that of his
mother. And if his father finds it neces-
sary in the conduct of business to strain
one or two of the commands the boy will
keep on repeating the commandments to
with his father, and that, too. without
feeling that the Sinuosity of the procedure
involves any great amount of inconsfs-
tency. So The only thing that will
save the boy and hold him in such a way
true to the fixed pole of rectitude that no
considerations of place or circumstance
can defect him is hat he be under the
domination of father whose life in the
midst of the world incarnates the prin-
ciples learned from the mother in the
midst of the home. The boy will believe
in the feasibility of his mothers doctrine
Of righteousness if he sees his father take
it out n exemplify it under the stress
of business.
The fathers life to this degree meas
ures the power of the mothers tuition. and
is as the hand of God fastening or post
poning the fulfilment of her maternal
longings and prayers for the children of

some Republican Counties.

The day before yesterday we discussed
ties, and from the undisputed facts we
deduced reasons for thinking that while
the former would be unusually stroog
for McGill, the other would give Mr..
Griggs a very small majority, indeed
Today we desire to direct attention to
the situation in some of the other Re
publican counties.
Next to Essex, we suppose the public
attention is most strongly fixed on Pas
sale. 1t is Mr.. Griggs' own county, and
it might be expected to do handsomely
by him. But it will not. Mr.. Griggs
has hardly any personal following in
Passaic outside the circle of Republican
magnates, and, unlike Chancellor McGil1
in Hudson, he cannot count upon a dozen
votes that would not go to John Kean,
Jr., or any other Republican candidate.
On the other hand, he will lose a vast
number of votes that kean might get,
and Kean only carried Passaic by 500
votes. One source Of detection viii be
the hostility of all railway employees to
the D., L. e w. Railroad. Thu unpoDu-
larity of tina corporation is incredible
by those who have not sounded it. It
is true it is hardly fair to visit this on
Griggs, who is not an executive officer
Of the road But. like the commuters Of
Montclair and the track elevationists of
Newark, the railroad men of Paterson are
glad to get Il crack at any D., L. & w.
man, and Griggs will be the scapegoat
for many a sin he has not committed.
The railroad men are not the only work
ers who are against Griggs, either. The
labor u~nionists are bitterly offended at
the manner In which Boss Hobart turned
down Assemblyman Bullock, end, as they
have no chance to get at Hobart direct
". they Will fire rocks at his lay figure,

and other reasons, too numerous to mem

VULGAR, vulgar, vulgar! We are sick
of the word from the pens of the nasty
little jays who run the Republican press
of this State. The Estate Gazette" speci-
men thinks Allan L. McDermott vulgar
because he heaps ridicule upon the sham
and pretense of Candidate Griggs.
Good, gentle Allan, do not offend the
gentleman thus. When you mangle the
record of Mr.. Griggs on the race track
gambling. do it ~gravely, decorously, fu-
nereally. Do not jibe at him and jeer at
him until the whole State caehinnates
at his absurdity. But solemnly 1ay him
alive n exhibit his heart as it really
is, with all the solemnity of a professor
of anatomy. Thus you will avoid violat-
ing the political code of ethics of Red
Dog. Iowa, and the delicate sensibility of
the little person of the Estate Gazette"
will not be so shocked.
And then there is the Newark gentle
man, who e5udes the dregs of Tribune
malevolence for the ediication of the
fanatics of his party. Combining in his
politics the conscience of a Malay pirate
with the methods of a Comanche Indian,
h is still so delicate in his own feelings
that he is shocked at the "vulgarity" of
exposing Candidate Griggs' attitude to-
wards the laboring men of the State,
when he was in the Legislature. "Vul-
gar appeals to labor" he calls them in
the concluding paragraph Of an article in
which he assails Chancellor McGill with
coarse and brutal ferocity.
Stop posing, gentlemen. Or, at least,
before you begin riding "gigs of gentil-
ity'' in this campaign, recall your slam
ders upon the dead statesman, whom ali
the State, except yourselves, reveres as
the benefactor of the people. Make your
apologies, too, to the high judicial Office
which you insult daily, n to the ire
proachable jurist who occupies it. You
talk of yulgarity, indeed, while your
columns are daily filed with every con-
coction of falsehood and misrepresenta-
ton that malice can inspire.

LORD OF 4 WORLD.
Chinass Emperor ImagiRes He Is
AutOcrat of the Universe.

utOcrat OF the universe.
The Emperor of China, like the Empe-
ror of Japan, is supposed to be of divine
origin, and at death becomes an actual
deity, although the founder of the pres
ent dynasty was a petty chieftain among
the tribes of Manchuria, who, by his ag-
g~ressive character and executive ability,
~subjugated first his own race, and then
conquered the great empire that lay south
of them. Theoretically, the Emperor is
absolute in his authority over the persons
and property, the souls and the minds of
all his subjects during the present and the
hereafter. Death does not release them
from his power He can confer honors
upon the dead and improve their condi-
ton just as we'll as upon the living, and
one of the highest rewards he can pay for
faithful service is to elevate among the
spirits of the dead the grandfather or the
subjects ancestors. He is the theoretical
owner of all real estate and other prop
erty in China. There is nothing within
the limits of the empire, that, theoreti-
cally, has not been derived from and cam
not be reclaimed by him.
He is not only the absolute monarch of
China, but sovereign of the entire world,
and theoretically all the other nations of
the earth, including the Car of Russia,
Emperor William, Queen Victoria, and
the President of the United States are his
accredited by other nations to the Chinese
court ave been contesting this question.
and until recently the Emperor would
not receive them, except as tribute bear
ers-emissaries from royal vassals who
came to pay their respects and bring him
the compliments of their prince, like the
representatives of the king of Corea and
the grand Llama of Thipet, who have
come every year for centuries bearing
gifts.
The ministers positively refused to be
received in such capacity or to enter .fthe
tribute nall" which was selected as an
audience chamber. They insisted upon
appearing before the Emperor as repre-
sentatives Of equal and Independent SOW
ereigns, and the question was finally de-
cided in their favor a couple of years
ago, although it is whispered that they
are actually received in the same room
and in the same manner that the tribute
bearers are received and that the En-
peror himself was led by the princes who
surrounded him to understand that they
came in the same capacity.
A gentleman who is as familiar with
the Chinese court as any foreigner, as
serted not long ago that the Emperor still
actually believes that Queen Victoria and
the President of the United States, as
well as all other rulers, recognized him
as their sovereign.-Chicago Record.
