FATHER M'AVoY WELCOMED.
His ParishIeners Give Him a Recsp-

tion Upon HIS Return from Europe.
The parishioners of st. Joseph's Roman
Catholic Church, Hoboken, rendered an
entertainment and reception to the Rev
Father Michael McAyoy last night upon
his return from an extended tour through
Europe.
Father MeAvoy has been in charge of
St. Joseph's Church for ANY years, and
is highly esteemed by its members. He
left for Europe on July II last, n re-
turned on the White Star Line steamer
Teutonic on Wednesday. He had travelled
through Ireland, England, France, and
paid a visit to Rome. His ~parishioners
decided to give him a rousing reception
upon his return. The celebration took
place in the Lyceum Hall in Ferry street.
AT s O'Clock landing room in the hall was
at a premium, and when Father McAvoyl
took his seat on the platform there was
loud rejoicing. Beside Father McAvoy sat
Rev. Father William T. Mclaughlin, of
ST. Patrick's Church. of Chatham, N. j.,
and Police Commissioner Patrick Hayden.
The platform was tastefully decorated
with floral pieces, in the centre of which
was a large pillow of chrysanthelnums
and roses, bearing the word letters:-
ssW-e-l-c-o-m-e.'' This was the gift of
Mr.. Thomas Brennan, who is the con-
tractor now constructing a handsome new
edifice for the parish or Monroe street.
Commissioner Hayden made a brief adj
dress, welcoming Father McAvoy on be-
half of the parishioners, and then Father
AcAvoy replied. He expressed his joyful
ness in being once more baek with his
friends, and said that there was no time
during his absence that he did not think
of them. He told of his trip through Eu-
rope. and related some very interesting
experiences. When he concluded he was
loudly applauded. Commissioner Hayden
acted as master of ceremonies, and Will
lam Fallon, Jr., was his assistant.
The first number on The programme was
a soprano solo by Miss M. Tierney, which
was greatly appreciated by the audience.
Next came an alto solo by Miss j. Tierney.
A mandolin solo vas very cleverly rem
dered by Miss E. Vervenne. and Thomas
Reilly sang comic songs. which kept the
audience in roars of laughter. Several Sc
~lections were rendered by st. Joseph's
Quartette, including Miss Johanna DAILY,
Miss M. Gillick. William Martin and o n
Sehuessler. There was a violin SOLO by
and vocal solos by Miss Maggie Gilliek
and Miss Mindeck.

dancing; were:-Mr. and Mrs. Edward

TFrom the Tribune OF Yesterday
United States Senator Smith has been
buying some space to .eulogize
himself. That is pa~rdonable when one
considers the shortage in the Smith eu-
logy crop during the last two years. But
in exaiting himself and telling of his
greatness as a political leader, why should
lie throw slllrs On Judge Kruger, Allan
II McDermott, Henry c. Kelsey, Rufus
B1odgett and join r Smith
claims credit for the Democratic gains in
New Jersey on Tuesday, and alleges that
the other men named had nothing TO do
with it. Suppose we just glance for a mo-
ment at that. The strength and influence
Of political ead are generally meas
ured by the results in his " bafliwick.
Now Senator Smith lives in Essex County,
and Essex gave Republican plaralities av-
eraging six thousand-Essex that used to
give Democratic pluralities of two thou

Tribune realized. even better h We
did, the unpopularity of its party all over
the State.
Looking over the results, we see plainly
that the Democracy could ave elected its
Senator in Cape May and at least ten
Assemblymen. if any reasonable effort
had been made. The opportunity was lost
through having an aggregation Of chuinps
instead Of a committee of alert politicians

THE fact that the Rev. Madison c,
Peters has become e~ntangled in a "coinci-
dence'' would be of very small public in
terest were it not for the side light which
it throws upon the code of those who are
so busy minding other peoples morals
Peters has exhausted the vocabulary OF
condemnation in dealing with the Tender
loin and the saloon. He has shouted so
much about them that he thinks they
represent the only forms of immortality in
the world. Falsehood and theft have lost
their meaning to him.
He is not the only victim of this failing.

THIS se~xpianation'' OF the vote we find
in yesterdays Tribune
That the Democrats would make gains
was conceded by every intelligent OBJ
server possessing opportunities for ac-
eurate Information. There is always a
reaction following a Presidential election,
and it was anticipated that, in the abb
sence of any stirring State issue, many
Republicans woui not TAX the trouble
TO vote.
Gould anything be more f%atuous? The
vote of William Heller for Sheriff was
sl.2s5 last November. The vote for the
highest Hudson Assemblyman this year
was about 1880. This shows that at
least 5000 Democrats stayed away from
the polls. But. assuming that a greater
proportion of Republicans refrained from
voting. is not the result equally signif-
cants Does it not indicate the intense
dissatisfaction which exists within the
party?

TOO BIG 10 SPANK.

Some of the European powers do
not like the idea of American inter-
ference in Cuban affairs, or the prop
osition to annex Hawaii. A few
German papers intimate that this
country will get severe drubbing
if it does not attend to its own busi-
ness. They do not seem to realize
that interfering in the Cuban affair is
our business, and ours only. The
same might be said of Hawaii.
As for the drubbing, it only serves
to amuse Americans to hear the loud
noises the little fellows make. They
might as we'll understand at once
that war with America is like an
American duel, somebody gets killed
in it. This country does not seek
war, but if forced into it, it will go
at 1t as business matter. We have
no ocean commerce to lose, and out,
side of few sea ports that might be
bombarded, there is nothing for
eign enemy could hurt or take, and
as for foreign army coming here to
fight us on our own soil, all the ships
of the world could not bring them
fast enough to keep the spectators
interested. Besides, before our ports
we're blockaded year the balance
of the world would be starved to
death, and England, Germany,
France and the rest of the powers,
except Austria and Russia, would
have all they could do to suppress
the food riots at home.
Uncle Samuel will never be
spanked by any foreign power. He
is too old and too big.
