NEW CANON TO be CONSTRUED

At the approaching Protestant sEpisco-
pal Convention of the Diocese of Newark,
which In all probability will be held in
Trinity Church. Newark. in May. a few
ayine from Hudson county propose 70
bring before the convention the rights of
a rector or vicar at a parish meeting
which is not convened for business pur-
poses Of the church. or which cannot
strictly come under the meaning of the
canon amended last May by the Committee
special reference to parish meetings. mode
special reference to parish meetings mode
of parish elections. etc
BY that ecclesiastical rule of law the
rector or vicar has the prescriptive right
to preside at all meetings. But this.
some few laymen think. only means yestry
meetings or gatherings to transact purely
church business. 1t is commended that
for instance, a social or literary
society AFFILIATED with the church has the
right to elect its own president or chair
man, and the rector is not always the
fittest person to- preside.
Over this question there nave been
many unpleasant differences between the
rector and the young. people belonging to
the social societies in the church. and in
two instances in the county open warfare

The intention of the movement to bring
this disputed question before the conven-
ton is that If the Committee on Constitu-
tion and Canons, to whom they expect that
this matter will be referred. decides that
the rector has the right to preside, over
all meetings. social. business or religious.
then they will bow to that authority cheer

1t is not started with any hostile spirit.
but simply to put an end to a little
friction felt in many churches of the
diocese.
I don't know what other rectors think
about it. said one of Jersey City's most
respected clergymen yesterday, but so
far as I Am concerned. my practice, has
always been to allow the young people to
fere. and only attend as an ordinary menu
Der submitting myself to the rulings of
the chairman they select. OF course, when
ever there is a disposition to commit a
faux pas why then / exercise a little
authority. but that has seldom occurred;
4 little exercise of common sense will
adjust this little dificulty.'

A ~GLEANINGS.

Many wild geese are feeding in Ludlam's
Bay, but all efforts of local guaners to kill
them have thus far proved futile.
Some conscience-smitten person recently
sent to w. g. Cowgirl and Joseph Brammal
of Paulsboro, each thirty-seven two-cent post
age stamps. The two were formerly in bust
ness as partners, and believe that the stamps
represent S1.50, which some one got from them
dishonesty about fifteen years ago.
Ducks are unusually plentiful at Seavi1le.
During two mornings Charles Wright killed
forty in Ludlam's Sound, while Smith JEFF
ferys killed so many that they filed a wash
tub when picked. In a few hours Gus Shute
bagged thirteen black ducks and blue bills.
An unusual number OF blaeksnakes have
been found in cutting off the piece OF timber
at Bunker Hill, on the Raneocas Road. in
Burlington county. and the only explanation
of the fact Is that a jug of cider was buried
on the tract a few years ago. 1t is a well
known fact that blacksnakes are passionately
fond Of cider, which accounts for the number
OF the reptiles. The other day Abraham
Witcraft captured one of these snakes that
measured FIVE and one-half feet in length.
He had it on exhibition in Mt. Holly.

tercs'ing Conversation with a Great
and Honest Scientific man.
THE most remarkable machine In the
world is the human body
He was a Professor in a New York
Medical College who declared this to a
number Of friends at the Club. continu-
ing he said:-
Fake for example, the heart. Did you
ever stop to think that it works every
minute Of the life and never has a va
cation or rest?'
And then there are the kidneys, which
have been truly called the filter of the
body They separate every particle Of
liquid that passes from the body, except
that which eozes through the pores
'Did 1t ever occur to you that this
machine might wear out from over-work,
over-taxation, oyer-exertion? And so it
does in too many cases
For more than five hundred years the
world and the medical profession CROPPED
In the dark for a remedy to sustain the
kidneys, or cure them If they had be-
come weakened or diseased, and it was
only Within the past twenty years that
any remedy was found. Ri. Bright dis

City Finance From Two Points of
View.

Two remarkable speeches were made
at the Board of Trade dinner on Thurs
day night on the subject of Jersey City's
finances. According to Mayor Wanser's
version. the city owes hardly any debt
at all and is In a fair way of paying what
It owes. According to Mr.. Allan L. Nc
Dermott. the city is loaded down with
debt; it is paying nothing off, but on the
contrary is plunging deeper and deeper,
year by year into the slough of despond.
Now both of these gentlemen should
know what they are talking about. They
know the facts and they are able to form
sound deductions. And yet they cannot
both be right. The fact is both are in
one degree or another wrong. Mayor
Wanser is wrong in that he only consid-
ers the debt in its relation to those ele-
ments which make up the credit of the
city. He fails to consider sufficiently
the burden of interest charges upon the
taxpayer and the retarding effect of this
element upon public Improvement. Mr..
McDermott seems to err in several re-
spects as, for instance, in declining to
accept the credit side of Mayor. Wan
sers account and in declining to consider
the improvements which have been ac-
CURED by means of bond issues and
which by increasing-as they assuredly
have done-the assessable value of pro-
perty have materially lowered the ratio
between the burden of debt and the VAL
ues on which it is a lien. These are gen,
eral broad errors which most men viii,
agree in finding in his speech. 1t may be
added that his theory of the management
OF sinking funds. if we understand him
correctIy,-and not the method of the
city-differs from those which generally
prevail.
The News is, in politics, a Demo-
cratic paper. and we do not like to ap>
pear in the light of defending a Republic
can Administration against the criticism
of a Democratic leader whom we gener-
ally are well pleased to follow on politi-
cal questions. But we have written at
the head of this column since the first
appearance of 9Th News the declara-
ton of our independence in all local mat
tiers. In this present case, as it seems
to us, it is not Mayor Wanser's career
as the head of the city's government
that Is under fire: but the credit OF. the
city itself. Mr.. McDermott, indeed. took
pains to reiterate that his comments
