The delegates of the Methodist Epis-
copal Evangelization Union held a meet
ing in the lecture hall of Emory Church,
on Belmont avenue, last evening. About
fifty delegates were present at half past
eight, when President J. v. Foster called
the meeting to order. A lengthy dis
cussion was held on the subject of build
ing a Deaconess' Home in Jersey City.
Mrs. W. E. Drake made an enthusiasts
tic speech in favor of the home. She
cited some of the hardships a deaconess
has to endure while performing her mis-
sion of mercy, and said she firmly be-
lieved a haven of rest should be pro-
vided for these martyrs to the cause Of
charity, to which they could retire when
age or sickness prevented their continu-
ing their work of mercy. She closed by
moving that a committee be appointed
to consider the subject and take the
i~nitiatory steps.
President Foster appointed the follow
ing delegates as the committee:-The

Humbug PROM Rom meEwan.

Mr.. Thomas McEwan, Congressman for
this district. has been talking at long
range about the Presidential campaign.
In an interview in the Washington letter
in the State Gazette of Wednesday,
he expresses the opinion that Car Reed
win get no support for the nomination
from New Jersey because he is being
blamed for no action being taken on a
general tariff bill"
We were not aware that he was being
70 blamed. We thought he had lone his
share towards the r%ailroading of the
Dingley infamy. If he does not get cred
1t for that. New Jersey Republicans
must be more ungrateful thar common.
But Mr.. McEwan adds
In New Jersey there are a number of
important interests that are suffering
greatly, and cannot be properly conduct
ed because OF the present condition of
the tariff. and the men who are so inter
ested are constantly appealing to their
representatives in Congress for relief.
They declare that 1t is a most deplorable
condition of public affairs; when the
sparring for party advantage of certain
INDIVIDUALS In the Presidential race over
comes all cries of duty and the consid-
Grafton of the workingmen of the coun-
try.
Now this, we assert, is a tissue Of
total Misrepresentation and misstate-
ment. We broadly assert that there is
not one industry in New Jersey, today.
which is suffering on account of the tar
if-not one. We assert that, as a rule.
all New Jersey industries are being sue.
cessfuIly conducted, and are earning fair.
profits. We assert that there is no de-
preston in the wages of w~orkingrnen in
this State which is due in the slightest de-
gree to any reduction In the tariff.
If Mr.. McEwan is importuned III the
way he claims, it is by men who are
not content to make a fair profit. bur
who are anxious to rob the public for
their own private profit. The worst paid
men in this State are those who are
over-protected.

AS soon as a ship is moored at her
pier in Curacao harbor the water around

in ePapiamento" for coin to be thrown.
A silver piece tossed far out will cause

of the youngsters holds up the coin and

go at least twenty feet beneath the SUI

they could scarcely call for any more.

gave us the Constitution, you know. Ad-
miral Decatur might be honored with
much reason, and then a jump might be
made to Winfield Scott. The War Period
gives a whole galaxy of National tutelary
deities whom we should hasten to apoth-
eosize with days set apart for reverence
of them: Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Far
ragut, Sumner, all Lincoln's Cabinet and
several members of both Houses of Con-
gress. together with the leaders of the
liberal party. Later days nave afforded
fewer men of the right mould, except
Jim Blaine. DR.. P%arkhurst. John w.
Griggs and Thomas Collier Platt, we fail
to recall any moderns of the true stature
for canonization.
Perhaps it would presently occur to
some of the gentlemen, who think they
are making laws for us. that in the
multiplicity of declarations of this sort,
the whole meaning and purpose of the
act is destroyed. Nobody grudges a day
to the man who still remains First in
War, First in Peace and Fipst in the
Hearts of his Countrymen. But if many
other well-meaning persons Of more or
less note are put in the same category
with him, the people will be apt to con-
clude very quickly that the whole thing
Is a nuisance.

AT a Lincoln dinner in New York, on
Wednesday evening, Senator Joseph B.

on the silver question; or on the Mon

They are unanimous in their hatred

far the wisest. honestest, most unself-

Queen Marguerite of Navarro. the SIS

Henry w. of France has been accorded
a prominent place in French literature
for her collection of novels. the "Hepta-

lie Miroir du Chretien' (The Mirror of
a Christian) has been known to be her
work. Quite recently Professor Abel Lee

that a manuscript in the National LII

tains heretofore unknown works Of Mar

which was written about the middle of
the Sixteenth Century. contains in some
200 pages about 20, 900 lines of verse: there
are two epic poems, lie Navire" and

For President, Matthew stanley Quay

Yesterdays morning papers brought
the announcement to an admiring public
hat Matthew Stanley Quay was a Pres
idential candidate. This is as it should
be. We would like to see him nomi-
mated.
Next to Thomas Collier Plat, Matthew
Stanley Quay is the most characteristic
Republican in the country. A contest ip
which he would head the Republican
ticket would be a square one. The peo-
pie would lave a chanc of voting upon
Republicanism as IT is, and not as a
hypocrIte and a few party monographs
strive TO make it appear.
1t is a pity Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Quay
live in States SO near together. If one
of them hailed from the West, We might
have them both on the same tioke and
thus get a chance to kill two birds with
one stone.
