EFFECTS OF TIE RAINEs LAW.
Jersey City Psstors object to Thirsty
New Workers. Coming Here.

New YOrk era Coming Here.
The pastors of Jersey City meet from
time to time as the Gamma Sigma Society
and discuss questions affecting the pub
lie interest. At their meeting last nagh1
thea Raines bill came on the carpet. 1t
was the unanimous opinion of the pas
tors that Jersey City on Sunday would
be crowded with the thirsty souls of
New York and it was high time that the
authorities here should wake up the
police captains and insist on the enforce
ment of the Sunday closing law.
In order hat the question may be fully
discussed and prompt action taken ia
close up the saloons the pastors appoint
ed the Rev. DIR. /. w. Hathaway to make
the arrangements. The meeting will be
held in the Tabernacle on April n, and
besides the ministers there will be promis
nent men present to make speeches.

We have always thought the present
Board of Aldermen as a whole a dis
reputable body But we had no idea of
the depth of its meanness and trickery
and dishonesty until yesterday. That it
was rankly partisan was certain. That
1t was reckless and wanton in dealing
with public questions was. apparent on
the face Of the record. That it. was vul-
gar ard scandalous in the conduct of it's
business. all who read the papers knew.
But nobody imagined the mess of corrup-
tfon that was beneath the surface.
Alderman Mccarthy has done a great
public service in bringing out the truth.
At this time it is well for the people to
know whom and what they are voting
Tor. 1t Is well for them to have the oppor-
tunity to say whether they will continue
such a combination in office or will choose
new and clean men to represent them.
So far as the revelations are concerned
and the Tending and proving which re-
~ CA4O party has no CON-
Germ. It is altogether a Republican fight,
and all we have to do is let them settle
It among themselves, while we take note
of the proceedings. Jack Graham figures
as Rub Simpsons accuser, and Raibe
tries to shift the blame back on Jack.
I'd. denies that he ever drafted a theatre
cal bell-ringer. and Mac says he has the
draft in Eds handwriting in his pocket.
Each makes a target of the other; mud
dies fast and sticks everywhere. What
matter who gets the worst of it? They
are all Republicans. and all in the same
boat. s5xs1

THE PRESIDENT IN A NEW ROLE


Judging from President Cleveland's
strong sentiments on the financial
question, the remark attributed by a
member of his cabinet, that he would
rather vote for Mckinley on a gold
platform than Democrat free silver
ite, is not surprising, in certain sense.
The one strong point in his favor has
been that he is sound on the currency
question, and has given utterance to
his views when such action jeopardized
his chances politically. But 1t was
scarcely deemed possible that he would
30 to such lengths as to declare against
the head Of the ticket, il free silver
were the party shibboleth. And yet the
news comes from Washington that not
only the president would be against
the party nominee but several mem
bers of the cabinet would follow his
lead.
This will certainly create a stir in the
Democratic ranks. The enemies Of the
president win be only too glad Of the
handle which it will give them to as
sail him for his threat to bolt, and
many of the "sink or swim" class VIII
Join in condemnation. If the silver
men are in a position to control the
convention at Chicago, Mr.. Cleveland
considers 1t better to allow them to go
on. and is opposed to any other ticket
by boIters. If the Republicans come
out strongly for gold, the issue would
be clearly defined, and he feels certain
