Exit The Rev. Raboseau.

The disappearance of the Rev. Claude
Eaboteau from his city VIII not be a
cause Of grief to any right minded people.
From the time Of his arrival here he
aimed TO make himself and his church
conspicuous by vulgar s~ensationalism and
trgcuieilt bigotry in the choice of subjects
for his sermons n in his methods of
Treatment. We had already rather more
q that sort Of thing in Jersey City than
the public had stomach for. and THE
NeFs voiced what we believed TO be
the majority sentiment of disgust at the
new outbreak.
We are not a bit surprised to find that
Mr. Raboteau's sensationalism was the
cause Of his downfall. Thu Church On
which he inflicted his "up-to-date" har-
Argues was composed of conservative and
t~hosiehtfai people. They have more of the
Christian spirit, 100, than he gave them
credit for. He did not suit them ana
they aia not suit him. 1t was a case Of
inisafs
Perhaps Mr.. Raboteau wiii learn a les
son fsern his experience here Perhaps
he vii ma a CONGREGATION somewhere
else which rants more raciness than re-
1aion IN its pulpit This city win send
no regrets after him. 1t viii hail any
sincere ana pious worker who may come
n his place 70 promote faith Z morals
ard treat his nsfghbor with forbsaranee.

q elbows win each % these feeding pipes.
Every pi1e Is supplied with valves and
gates, so nicely arranged that the supply
can be drawn from either conduit separ-
ately, or from both.
At Great Notch. Aunt SaIlyss HIM.,
near Wayne, and at Pompton Notch, the
two ducts are connected by three pipes,
sixteen inches In diameter, at each point.
This gives an arrangement which would
guard against even such an improbabiifty
as the breaking Of both mains at the same
time.
For instance, II the old main should
break between Pompton Notch and Great
Notch and an accident should befaIl the
new duct near BeIleville, the water could
be carried from one pipe to the other and
brought from the intake to the reservoir
without interruption by bringing the
working of the valves and gates into play
at different points.
Even better time would have been made
by the contractors If 1t had not been for
the excessive rains during July, which
retarded the progress OF the work, but as
y Is. the Gulespies have exceeded expec-
tations and brought the contract to its
present stage several months before the
end was looked for.

containing the membe and their invited
guests About forty prominent business

OF the Free Son leaders OF national re-
pute in 1S4S and 1852, one only survives.
The names Of these men, 50 familiar 10
the public in their generation. are now
rarely mentioned, but what they wrought
endures. The question which so Stirred
their blood and kindled the wrath of their
opponents has been lifted out of the tam
gle and jargon of debate into the clear
Hight of accomplished facts. This is their
sufficient reward, and Will be their endur-
ing renown. The lesson Of their struggle
and triumph is the inestlmable value OF
political courage. They planted their feet
upon the rock of principle and bided
their time. If they had taken counsel of
their fears and fa3tered In the face of a
powerful and intcferant opposition. a di-

have been the result The same political
courage is needed In dealing with the for

MONTREAL, Que, Aug. Is. 1Sss.-The
New York correspondent of ''Patrie," the
French-Canadian newspaper published
here, In a letter to that paper. states that
Americans are busy building Notifications
and making warlike preparations against
Canada. He adds, The necessity for
this expenditure Is causing much hostile
sentiment towards Canada among Amer
leans who really entertain no bad feel
Ing towards the Canadian people, whom
they always wish to regard as friends.
They have no desire to waste money or
frontier ornaments. but they say If Can
ada begins 10 spend money by appro-
priating several millions for amor and
fortiications along our frontier. n will
allow her territory to be made the base
of military operations by England against
the United States. then We are COM
PEELED 10 prepare for our defence.
and, perhaps, if the ~provocation becomes
too great we may be compelled to adopt
measures that will entirely abolish the
frontier. These are sentiments that have
been expressed TO me not by Chauvin-
lists, but by serious and intelligent per-
sons

IN THE HANDS OF TIE MAYOR.
The CommunIpaw Grade Crossfn.
Ordinance Reaches the CITY Hall.

The ordinance of the Street and Water
Board allowing the Greenville and Hudson
ranch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad to
cross C-ommunfpaw avenue ait grade was
filed with Mayor Wanser for his approval
or disapproval this morning. The Mayor
has ten days in which to act on the ordin-
ance, and 1t is probable that he will
take no action until the last day allowed
him expires. The Mayor is willing to
hear any and all property owners or resi-
dents who desire to speak on the subject.
He will be at his Office every day next
week for that purpose.
Up to the present time only four per-
sons have protested against the signing
of the documd6ft which is Of such vital
Importance Ito the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company.
just what the Mayor will do is causing
much speculation. The feeling gainS
the crossing that many anticipated has
not as yet developed, n the Street and
Water Commissioners say that those who
have looked over the ground have come to
the conclusion that is is an engineering
impossibiiity for the company to cross
the line of the Central on a trestIe and
reach its yards on anything like an easy
grade without crossing the avenue at
grade.

was arrested by Policeman Monahan for
