The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1897-04-07

THE campaign on the Republican side
has. so Tar, been one of mere Islander and
calunny. Mr.. Hoos has been libeled; the
Democratic leaders nave been scored;
the whole party has been reviled. Mr..
Klink at the Republican convention ele-
gantly spoke of the Democracy collective
" as a gang of b-ushwhackers.
This comes with a good grace truly
from the party which controlled the
recent Legislature. that combination of
corporation employees and salary grab
bers. who violated every pledge of their
party. and put not one law upon the
statute book which did not either favor
d corporation or provide a place and pay
for some g. O. P. worker.
Mr.. Klink. when he used that insolent
and opprobrious term. should have recol-
lected that his W best act in the Legis-
iature was that in which he turned his
back on the bushwhackers of his own
party n voted against the Term Elk
tender.

This cannot be a campaign of meetings
tecauss hoe is no time; but one could
guess the sort of meetings that might
nave been organized from the gathering
at Shipman's Hall, last night. Though a
strictly informal affair. hardly more han
a meeting of the local organization, In
intention, the affair developed into the
proportions of a mass meeting. The en-
thusiastic spirit was remarkable, too.
The cheering had the unmistakable ring
Of men who were In earnest.
J The speakers were wise and conserva-
tive. They kept well within the bounds
of what could be proven against the Re-
publican party. and their remarks were
all the more effective on tina account.
Mr. Noonan's exposure of the Journals
absurd contradictions was especially
good He showed how, in one column.
the Editor talked of the choice of nomi-
nees being left to the convention. This,
he said. was the Editors idea of what
ought to be. In another column, the re-
porter told how the bosses had made up
the slate at the Union League Club, and
the convention merely went through the
form of ratifying It. This was the truth
as to what actually happened. In the
contrast. between the editors idea of the
right course and the reporters account
of the actual course. the Journal. I'M

Its infamous water fake, published yes

Mr.. Hoos said the ~seandalous sheet
would be compelled to retract its asser-
ton today that the election of Mr.. Hoos
meant a return to polluted Passaic water.
This is in truth as idiotic a fake as
could well be imagined. The city is
bound, In one way or another, by the
temporary contract with the East Jer-
sey Water Company until the year 1900.
Even If he wished to do so, Mr..
Hoos could not force the people back to
the polluted Passaic before that year, and,
before that year. his first term as Mayor
will have expired. The Journal knows

Early Sunday morning burglars
broke into the Shannon & Newman dry
goods store and r. T. Friedman's
clothing store at Athens. A few cents
in change was all that was reported
missing.
The police of Sayre and Waverly
combined on Saturday night and Sun
day morning in making a raid on the
tramps that infest the railroad yards.
An even 20 was arrested. among
whom the police think they have men
who are wanted for various robberies.
Fire from an unknown origin com
pletely destroyed the house in King
town, East Stroudsburg formerly oc-
cupied by Henry Van Buskirk, the
man alleged to have been shot by
Rouck several weeks ago. The flames
were noticed about 2 o'clock on Sun
day morning and although several
members Of the Acme Hose company
pulled the hose carriage to the place,
1t was of no service, as the house was
in ruins 1t was unoccupied at the
time of burning. The fire is thought to
have been of incendiary origin. There
was a slight insurance on the prop
erty.

a shock. He was picked up for dead
but in few days he recovered the
use Of his limbs and speech. But since
that day he has been undergoing a
transformation. His skin. naturally a
sort of crow color, changed to a rich
brown, but for a month it has under
gone a whitening process, and Sam will
no longer be a "colored gentleman"
The kinks in his hair are also straight
ening out, and he is gradually drop

the negro. Jackson's case is being

The argument is experimental and
practical. The claim of Christianity
to be true and of divine origin is veri-
fed by experience, and confirmed by
the result of its application in practi-
cal life. We know it makes men
better and happier. 1t works moral
revolution in life and character. All
who embrace and obey its teach
ing are elevated and improved. 1t
quickens thought, enkindles love,
warns the heart, arouses the consci-
ence, strengthens the will, cheers the
spirit, brightens the life, and ennobles
manhood. 1t does this for all races
of men, as is demonstrated by the sue
cess of missionary enterprises among
all nations.
This argument does not rest upon
the miracles of the past, but on pres
ent experience, character and life.
The saving of men from sin by the
power of the Gospel of Christ is the
living, constant, moral miracle of the
present. This salvation is known to
consciousness, is fact of experience,
and is proved by moral change in
life. Christian history records il,
Christian biography describes it,
Christian conduct reveals it, Christian
aracter is builded on it, and the
Christian church is created by it.
There is no fact in nature, life or
history better established, and it
conclusively proves the truth and d.
vinity of the Christian religion.
This argument is cumulative. It
is not logical chain in which the
whole is no stronger than it's weak
t link, but an inductive cable in
which every added strand or cord in
creases the strength. The CONVEX
sion of every soul, the salvation of
every believer in Christ, the reforma-
ton of every criminal by the power of
Christian truth increases the strength
and conclusiveness of this argument
for the divine origin of Christianity.
1t is grounded in consciousness,
is evident from experience, and
living factor in real and practical life.
The reason approves it, the judg
ment sustains it, conscience sane
tions it, the heart responds to it in
love for God and man. 1t is the
ground of faith; the basis of conf
dence; the light of the intellect; the
joy of the spirit; and the strength of
Christian character. And this argu-
ment for the truth and power of
Christianity is illustrated in every
mission field on the globe where the
