NOT a CRANKY AFFAIR.
Annual Picnic of h Hoboken
Crank n Sueease

The annual picnic and summer-night's
festival of the Cranks of Hoboken last
night at Pohimann's Pavilion was not
overcrowded, yet presented a scene of
much gaiety and pleasure. There was a
good attendance, but the exhibition Of
fireworks given by the association In
honor Of the event attracted the largest
crowd on the outside. There were no set
pieces, the display consisting OF discharges
of rockets, bombs, candles, ETC., all with
very pretty effect.
The committees in charge Of the picnic
were efficient in the discharge of their
duties. notwithstanding the significance
of the name OF the association there was
nothing very cranky about the AFFAIR.

THE DRIFT OF SEWAGE.

SDccial to the Jerscy Citu Meas.

NEWARK, Aug. %. isss.-An attempt
was made on Thursday by c. e. A ia
cobsen and Secretary w. q. Scott. of the
Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission, to
find out If sewage matter would run out
of the Newark Bay with the o~utrunxing
tide, if such sewage matter should be
emptied into the river in the vicinity of
this city. The two men went down to
the Central Railroad bridge. where it
crosses the lower bay. and took with
them fifty bottles.
The bottles were half filed with shot,
so that when placed in the water the
neck protruded upward aud out of the
water. The tide had just begun to run
out when the two men rowed out to the
centre channel near the draw Of the
bridge. The BOTTLES were then thrown
into the water, and they soon disappeared
down the bay.
In each bottle was a postle card, the adj
dress side having IN 1t the following
"Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission

There is something decidedly amusing
to get away from the tariff issue.
They fear the effect of the ventilation
of their record as regards this issue,
and are vainly endeavoring to call
public attention from it. There is
something decidedly amusing in the
frantic and vocferous persistency with
which they assert that the tariff is not
an issue of the present campaign. 1t
is needless to say that their efforts to
blind the country to the great over
shadowing issue in this campaign will
not be successful. The tariff issue is,
and despite the most frantic efforts of
tine desperate Democracy, will continue
to be the great issue of this campaign.
All other issues are secondary to it
The very earnestness of the Demo-
cratic attempt to direct public atten-
proof that they not only recognize the
tariff as an issue, but that they also
recognize it as the great issue of the
campaign. The question to be decided
this year, and decided for the next
quarter of a century is the question of
protection or free trade-the question
of prosperity or hard times. The peo-
pie have had enough of Democratic
rule, and the members of that party
fully appreciating the overwhelming
defeat that awaits them this fall on
the regular logical issues of the cam
paign, are making frantic but futile
attempts to rally the old elements of

and companion saw them and an ac-
quaintance followed Mr.. Loomfs pro

they We're wed. Late that evening neigh
bors in the vicinity of where Miss Lesser
lived say that another scene occurred
which is not usually feature of a honey
moon. Mrs I.oomis, that is, came home
very late that evening and her mother at
once prepared TO investigate the cause.
Before the girl could explain the old lady
began Il vigorous chastisement. though
the neighbors do not know whether she
used a strap or a broomstick The girl
screamed, and between her cries began
her story:

the castigation was resumed
Let me alone, l tell you. am married
Ihat Is what kept me out, and my hus-
bahd Is waiting for me out on the stairs y
AS soon as this explanation daWned on
the old lady she suspended the chnst;se-
ment for further investigation. Mr.
Loomis was sent for. and he appeared os
me principal witness in the case. He
substantiated Clara's story, and declared
that between the wedding and the we'd
ding, dinner the girl could not have
reached home much sooner. Soon after the
bride and groom took their departure

Another fiscal year is ended and it
is not surprising that the Democratic
rarty shrinks from the comparisons
the fact invites. 1T records" says the
Boston Transcript, "the failure of the
receipts of the government to come

The general impression is that the
greater part sof the government re-
ceipts comes from customs, but throw
ing out the postoiiice department,
whose receipts are part of its opera
tions, it will be found that in the fiscal
year just closed the money derived
from customs was about half the re-
cepts of the government. Customs re-
ceipts footed up $160, ,044 651, while inter
nal revenue yielded s145 90G, us, and
miscellaneous sources $19,074, 1868. Eng

PRESS COMMENTS.
New Democracy-Its Leaders.
J(New York Press.)


Not one moments sight should be lost
from now on. by voters of who and what
are the leaders of the Democratic party
in this campaign.
First is Altgeld whose striking era
NAL and facial resemblance 10 Guiteau
would not be mentioned here did NOT his
extraordinary affection for crime and
criminals demand some sort of physiog-
nomical explanation. He first won noto-
riety as governor of Illinois by pardoning
mnafiehists; He maintained it by his
burners and rioters. His exercise of ex-
|ecutlve clemency has been such that in
a section of his state where lynching
was mnheard of the law-abiding people of
a town went to the Jail and hanged an
atroc1ous felon on the ground that they
believed the governor would pardon him.
he nad Just pardoned other felons of the
same order, the worst known to the law.
No reason was apparent but sympathy
with felony.
Next is Tillman. His speeches in the
Senate and in this city are familiar to ali,
The curious thing about this man is that
no one mas ever learned what he wants
or why he wants it. He has never in his
countess deliverances spoken ten con-
Secutlve words of argument on any subj
Ject. lie is for free silver, he saws: but
why, except that he hates the East and
North and believes that free silver would
lnJure them. he has never been able or
at least willing to tell He is probabIv
the only public man in the country whose
utterances are made up solely Of abuse
of his opponents.
Next is Boies. He has n faculty for
discovering a lifelong devotion to new
issues as soon as they become popular

Iowa. on the ground of his deep-seateG
and conscientious aversion to prohibition

OF 1852. he was in the following year hope
| iessiy beaten in his third race for The
governorship. Since then free trade has
mad no charms for him. But years of
thought, ne says, have convinced him
that Tree silver Is the only cure for pop
ular Ills. He always felt that way be-
Tore, but IL never occurred to him till re-
Gently TO say so. He has been unbosom-
ing himself lately to the correspondent
of New York newspaper He has ad-
mitted that free silver will be the confis-
cation by. debtors of half the money now
invested in loan securities, but says that
he investors will have enough left for
their wants" The correspondent calls
him a mild old farmer lawyer" Per-
depositors who have $1,000 600 of their
savings invested in these securities may
call him something else. He also pro-
poses TO pass a law, annulling all con
tracts payable in gold. We presume that
it is the mild old farmer that says this.
The mild old lawyer ought to know that
the stern old lawyers who drew the Con-
siituton of the United States anticipated
just such didoes as this and prohibited
them.
Last is Bland. He is a one-idea man.
a hying-machine man. He has always
been treated as such by his party. Dur
ing his nearly twenty years in Congress
no bill of any Importance was ever in
trusted 10 him but silver bills. Reports.
interstate commerce. House rules, have
passed him meaningessly by while he sat
and brooded in his coinage committee
room on 16 to |.
These are the leaders of the Demo-
cratic, party today, They are the fittest
and have survived. We do not hold
them up in reviling. We simply ask

would give all the laws. not merely a

Atlantic Monthly and to Macmillan's
Magazine, as in some sort a reply to
the Countess Guiccioli's "Recollections
of Lord Byron an article entitled
The True Story of Lady Byron's
Life" This article evoked a storm of
literary criticism almost unprece-
dented, and the tempest was by no
means allayed by the publication in
1870 of Mrs. Stoves work. entitled
Lady Byron indicated" Mrs. Stowe
was also for some time one of the
editors Of Hearth and Home, and a
contributor to the Independent and
other periodicals.
No woman in the history of our
country ever had so prominent a part
in moulding and directing its destinies.

:. The hedespondent feeling of the Spanish

gloomy feeling of the whole country

A prominent Mexican financier has
this to say of the history of free silver
coinage in that country: 1T is an old
story how President Diaz brought
Mexico to the silver standard. At the
present time this country is in the
midst of the silver craze, and while
every sound-money politician cites
Mexico as an example they do not
make it strong enough. If gold was
the standard in that country at the
present time, along with the rule of
President Diaz, without a doubt it
would be one of the greatest countries
in the world. Silver has alone kept it
down, and if the United States eX-
poets to remain the nation it is at
present, and has been for years, it
wants to let silver alone or it will only
be short time unit! it will lose its
proud standing"
Daily Kennebec journal., 1896-07-03

1t is gratifying to note the very gen.
eral expression of local pride and
patriotism in the beautiful decorations
that are being made preparatory to the
glorious Fourth. Let every citizen dc
his full part in putting our beautiful
city in gala attire on that great day
and making it as attractive as possible
to the large number of outside visitors
who will honor us with their presence
and to whom our city will extend g
cordial welcome.

1t is useless to deny that Anarchist
Altgeld is good deal of hustler, and
that he has an effective way of pull
ing other Democratic leaders about by
the nose. He is, like ancient Ulysses
full of resources" The promptness
with which he drove Harris, Turpie
and Cockrell to cover, and adorned
them with the Altgeld collar, is making
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Whitney fairly
green with envy.
