STATIONS OF THE GROSS BLESSED


The twelve handsome panels represent
ing the stations of the Cross which
were recently presented to the Church Of
the Holy Ianocents, Hoboken, by Mrs.
Martha B. Stevens of Castle Point, were
blessed last evening with an elaborate
service. The church was crowded to the
doors, the event having been looked for
ward to with more than usual interest for
some weeks. Mrs. Stevens sent the panels
to the church last Wednesday. She pur-
lchased them in Paris some time ago.
Each one represents a different station or
scene of the crucifixion of Christ. The
panels We're placed on the walls around
the interior Of the ediice and presented
q very striking appearance.
Arrangements for the blessing had been
going on for several weeks, and the choir
had prepared a special musical pro-
gramme. The Rev. Father G. Ernest
Magill, rector, conducted the ceremony,
assisted by theR Rev. Father Robert Rad
cliffe Dolling of st. Agathais Church,
Portsmouth. England. who preached the
sermon. Father Dolling's topic was
'sThe Passion" AT the conclusion Of his
sermon solemn vespers were sung by the
choir, under the direction of Charles clin-
ton, after which the choir, led by the Rev.
Fathers Magill and Dolling, marched SOL
emily around the church and performed
the blessing AS they app
preached each station the Litany was
sung, and then Father Dolling pronounced
the following prayer
We beseech thee, Oh Lord, to bless,
haIlow and consecrate this station of the
Cross, made in thy honor and memory
ard grant that whatsoever shall bow down
to prayer before it ma find health in

doubtful if a reconciliation has been er-
feeted, and consequently a danger spot
in the Republican canvass remains ex-
posed. !.
Now as to the political complexion OF
the House of Assembly. The Democrats
are ~reasonabil certain of electing mem
bers as follewss-Hudson, II; Bergen, 2;
Passaic, y. Sussex, ]; Hunterdon, 2; War

no doubt, will elect the following menu
bers:-Cape May, /; Cumberland, z; Cam

them 20. The doubtful ones are as fol-

predict that the next House will be I'M

In Monmouth county David 5. crater,

seems TO have things all his own way,
and, consequently, the allegation that his
friends are willing to trade votes in his

~unfounded.
There is a red-hot fight in Mercer for
the County Clerkship. The Democrats
nave made a most energetic canvass for
their candidate, Joseph A.. Corey, and
they feel much encouraged by promises

bigger fight on his hands than he ex-

at his disposal, and the machine at his
back, which count for a great deal. Still,
during recent years political battles have
been won without the aid of such factors.
Mr.. Gummere'S standing as a State lead

test. If he wins he will continue to oc-,

Along with pastors for all it's candi
dates, III Republican County Committee
has sent to every house a circular which,
for ~unblushing e~ffrontery. has never been
eoualIed in the politics Of this State.
Under various headings it takes up the
various popular issues of the period and
claims credit where it is no more justified
in doing so tha Benedict Arnold would
have been in asserting that he accom-
plished American Independence.
There is the Equal Taxation question,
for instance. The circular alleges that the
Republican Legislature passed, this year,
q law establishing this great popular de-
mand. Every one knows that this is a
total falsehood. Every one knows that
no equal raxation law was passed. Every
one knows that the railroads were not
called upen to pay one more dollar or
one more cent than they previously paid
The law that was passed was a vile Jug
gle in that respect. 1t completely pro-
tected the railroads in their outrageous
exemption and simply took lone from
the state treasury to silence the demands
of the cities.
But every one further knows that the
cities have not yet got one dollar of the
money. Every one knows that at the
eleventh hour, John w. Griggs, the Gov
ernor Of this State. stepped in and so
jusgled the pending bill that no money
can be paid in virtue of it until after his
term as Governor comes to an end.
Every one knows. therefore, that. to date,
the Republican record On the subject is
one Of shameful and shameless betrayal
Of the people.
Passing on to the subject Of Good
Roads" the circular pronoupees the Bou-
levard to he in q dIlapidated condition and!
asserts that it can only be saved through
Legislation establishing a commission. In
reply, we ask. who is responsible? 2" It
was the Republican party which estabr
lished the present method of electing
Freehelders, a method which ILLS the
BoapG with representatives Of notten
horeusns. which maxi the membership
of tina Board so numerous that all respon-
sibilify liz destroyed. The Republican
party passed the law doing this in spite
