street has not been begun. The contrae-
tor explains that the delay is in the pub
lie interest. He is collecting all the ma
terials and appliances together before ne
tears up the present pavement. When all
is ready he will fall on the work with a
large force and finish it UP with a rush.
The entire JOB ought not to take over
three or four days. In fact, with ade-
ouate force it could be done In a day.
The contractor shows unusual regard for
public convenience in undertaking TO do
it quickly. The ordinary man would
block up the sidewalks for a week with
paving stones before a pick would be put
to the old causeway.

John r.. Mcpherson was one of the
most remarkable of a remarkable gener-
alton of men who controlled the politics
of this. State for many years. He was
not only a politician of the shrewdest
class hut also. to a very considerable ex-
tent. a statesman. He was not merely
able 70 mould events in the State so as
to achieve personal success; he was able
besides to take part with credit in the
councils of the nation. As a thinker n
debatsr. he was a power in the Senate.
He was able to influence legislation, and
as a rule his influence was for the GOOD
of the country. His ideas of Senatorial
duty were not limited TO the solicitation
ana distribution of patronage. He de-
voted himself TO public questions, ana
gave the Senate and the nation the pene-
fit of the mature thought and wide ex-
perience of an eminently practical mind.
Senator Mcpherson had not the cour-
age, the independence or the brilllancy
of Leon Albeit. He was not as enthusi-
astIc in ~upholding the rights of the plain
people. But in his way he was a sound
Democrat, a good citizen and an invaiu-
able servant Of the State. 1t is a remark
able proof of the breadth of the old-time
Democratic party that it found not oniy
room for two such men in its leadership,
but also that it turned their activity to
high account in the development of its
policy and furtherance of its principles.
The fact is the two represented COM
elementary forces. the one inclining to
radicalism, the other to conservatism
Out of the union of such elements the
wise liberaiity. which is the true spirit
of Democracy, had its origin.

The Hoboken Business Mems Protective
Association held a star chamber meeting
last night in its headquarters at Willow
avenue n First street. Max Schilling
presided. The principal topic of discus
sion was the bond given the city by the
Mexican Asphalt Company which recently
paved Hudson street.
The members believe that the bond
should hold the company responsible for
all repairs made on the street as a con-
sequence of any defect thai may be dis
covered in the asphalt. In it's present
form the bond only holds the company re-
sponsible for the execution of the con-
tract.
The members decided to employ Lawyer
Leon Albeit to advise them as to what
action they might take. A big meeting
will be held next Friday evening when
Lawyer Albeit will give his views.

The Rev. Arthur Newton Thompson. who has
succeeded the Rev. l. w. Hathaway as pastor
of the Westminster Presbyterian Church is a
methodical man. He is also a hard worker.
The result is that in the few weeks he has been
in charge of Westminster Church he has ac-
conplished wonders. His first effort was to re-
unite the members who had been scattered by
the bitterness ard dissensions which marked
the last days of Or. H~athaway's pastorate- In
this he succeeded admirably, as was witnessed
at the reception given in his honor a Jew nights
ago. Having succeeded in ~unifying the forces
in the church, Mr.. Thompsen's next move was
to use them TO assist him in his work.
Much has already been said of the plans
which the various. societies have made for a
vigorous fall and winter campaign. Each has
been pledged to do its share of the work and
raise its portion of the expenses. Mr.. Thomp-
son, however, is not content 70 iet the enuTeh

been moving for years past. He wants to keep
and utilize the old material, but he desires
new material as well.
hard work and he has set about to get it. HIS
first move in this direction was 70 secure a
map of Jersey City and study carefully the
territory surrounding Westminster Church and
extending to the precincts of other Presbyterian
churches.
This territory he divided into nineteen can
yassing districts. He then called the youns
people of the church together and asked for
volunteers who were willing to canvass the
Hill in search of new material for the church
