III TIME OF NEED.

No matter how violently rival news
papers may assault each other it is a
rare thing indeed that the helping
hand is not outstretched in time of
distress.
The Call makes the following &C
acknowledgement for generous aid ex-
tended by its contemporaries.
1t is with more than ordinary graft
fication, the Call acknowledges the
courtesies shown by the Chronicle
and Examiner in holding back their
editions of Thursday morning so that
the Call, despite the burning of the
building in which its pressrooms are
located, was able to appear as early
as any of them.
AS was stated Thursday, all of on,
contemporaries offered the use ofthei,
presses, and that ofthe Chronicle was
accepted. Such acts are among the
amenities that dignity the calling O.
journalism and set an example o.
mutual helpfulness which business
rivals in other professions and trade
might do we'll to emulate.

OEWEY'S LUCK.

1t is indeed fortunate that Dewey
got away from cable communication
with Washington. The following are
the brilliant instructions given him be
fore leaving Hongkong. A cabinet
officer is quoted as saying that the
President prepared them with his own
hand, though this we doubt. They
sound more like Secretary Long.
Proceed to Manila come to anchor
about eight miles off, and watch for
the Spanish fleet. If you can engage
them out of range of the shore batter
les destroy them. Then try to occupy
the city, but keep a safe range from
the shore batteries. If the feet has
left, try and find it. If impossible,
make a landing, using your own dis
erection, and guided by the advice Of
the pilot. You can destroy the bat
t%eries, but have no unnecessary bonn
bardnent.
Commodore Dewey, being a mar Of
sense, as we'll as a brave and capable
officer, neither anchored his fleet out
of range of the shore batteries MOI any
where else. He sailed straight into
the harbor and under the guns Of the
shore batteries Won his victory.
There is little donbt that if San1p-
son could have got out of range of the
administration he would have used
his own powerful fleet long since to
better purpose than capturing stray
merchantmen. 1t is we'll known that
he had planned to take a vigorous Of
fensive when the old granDies in
Washington stopped him. The tt
nudity of the administration seems to
have Tapped over from the time of
webbing negotiations into the time
of dllatory war. For this, we think,
the nation is chiefly indepted to the
weakness Of the Cabinet.-Stockton
Mail.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1898-05-08

The news OF Deweys victory was
fully confirmed by yesterdays dis
patch.
Dewey has landed his report in
Washington and the facts are even
better than the first news of a week
ago.
The Spanish feet anihilated, great
losses to the enemy and not a ship OF
man lost in Deweys fleet. This is fairly
good work for ''Amerjcan pigs" who
are supposed to know nothing of the
art of war.

DR.. Stoddard on Marriage.

N
Yesterday, the Journal was. kicked
into an act of decency and fair play. It
could no longer stand the shame OF hav-
ing DR.. S~toddard's reply to its malicious
remarks regarding him printed in "The
News alone, so 1t tardily and reluctant
ly gave the letter space in its columns
In order. however, that it's act might pos
sess the minimum of grace, it appended
certain hippant and misleading comments,
calculated to enhance the wrong original
w done to the Rector of st. Johns.
DR.. Stoddard's position on the subject
of clandestine marriages is not in the
least obscure, nor does it afford the least
ground for hostile criticism either on So
cial or religious grounds. He is opposed
to clandestine marriages, He is opposed
to marriages which are wantonly con-
tracted in secret and which are too often
disclosed only under conditions which
cast a shadow on the name of the young
wife. In this he is absolutely right. He
is teaching good wholesome sense and
morals.
On the other hand, he desires it to be
clearly understood thai he is not opposed
to every marriage contracted in opposi-
ton to the win of parents, and there
fore solemnized without the customary
festal display. He realizes that after all
young men and women are the arbiters
of their own fate. the best judges of
their own feelings and destinies. If. after
due thought and determination they
find their mutual attraction transcends
the force of parental opposition, he adj
vises them to follow the impulses of ma
ture and join hearts and hands for the
voyage of life. A marriage of this sort
must necessarily be a quiet one; it may
even have to be solemnized under circum-
stances of concealment: but as soon as
it is an accomplished fact it should be
proclaimed and the consequences imme-
dlate1y faced by the youthful pair. This
is the sort of marriage which the Doctor
spoke of as an open and manly resistance
to ~unjustly applied authority, and he is
right.
DR.. s~toddard's doctrine is the product
of a warm heart and a clean mind 1t
has astonished nobody who has taken the
trouble to understand IT. Only the fetid
sense of the yellow scribbler could find
anything to cavil at in it.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1898-07-30
HANDSOME NEW THEATRE
Work Being Pushed on the
Play House on Newark
Avenue.

Many men in this city, who have had
experience In the theatrical business, have
been asked for their opinion as to whether
the new theatre about to be built In this
city will meet with success. They hesi-
tate for a few seconds and finally impart
this wise information, THAT depends
Then when questioned further they spoke
of a hundred and one things which in
their mind would be necessary to bring
about success. Well, whether the new
theatre which is to grace a choice site in
his city is to be a success or not, remains
to be seen.
Somehow or other Jersey City people
seem to experience a considerable amount
of difficulty in deciding what a
good play is, and the result is
that many first class plays have
left this city not having played to houses
large enough to pay one-half of the COM
pany. A poor performance may have
met with just the reverse and played to
full houses.
The new theatre will seat Zoo people.
The building will face on Newark ave-
nue. at the junction of Bay street, and
will extend through to First street, a
distance of 200 feet. The front of the
building will be about twenty feet i'll
width, about three quarters of that space
fronting on Newark avenue, with the re-
mainder on Bay street.
The ticket Office will be on the Newark
avenue enc. This portion will extend
back about seventy feet at the width oe
twenty-seven feet, when it will open on
the ground floor of the theatre. which will
be seventy-five feet wide. About twenty
five feet from the entrance the stairway
leading to the balcony will be built. while
the entrance to the stage n gallery will
be from the rear on First street. The
lobby will be very large, equally those Of
some of the New York theatres. The
stage will be forty feet in depth and sew
enty-fve feet wide. This stage, said the
manager, John K. Holmes Of Brooklyn,
who formerly managed the Standard
Theatre of that city, will be on Of the
largest in the East.
1--WE Will be able to put on almost any
thing that comes along" he said.
Eighty feet will be the heighth of the
structure. The manager while In con-
versation with a reporter Of The News"
a few days ago, explained that ne thought
the venture would be a decided success.
II will put on only the best plays that
come along said he, land | am sure
that I can cater to the peoples tastes
He said he expected the complete plans
of the new playhouse about the middle of
next week, and because they were not
ready the work was being delayed.
An idea OF how quickly the work will be
pushed may be gotten from the words of
Mr.. Holmes, who said, Il feel sure that

The Terms of Peace.

THE terms actually offered by President
Mckinley to Spain. as set forth IN yes'e'-
DAYS Washington dispatches. are almost
identical with those suggested IN Inc
News,, a day or two ago as probable.
Once again, we have to say that TINS
fact is not cited as a proof of special
or of a prophetic gift. Ihe
guess was merely the result of applying
lima information and common sense
TO the certain facts in the case.
All the difference of opinion that exists
Is over the Philippine Islands We OBJ
serve that a large number of individuals
and are urging that we seize
them and hold them as a permanent ac-
cession of territory. We also observe thai
every member of the Cabinet is opposed
10 the act. and we are in this matter
most heartily in accord with the Admin
i~stration.
The seizure of these Islands at this
Time would be a ~high-handed act of spo-
liation almost unparalleled in history
we have claimed that our one purpose
In going to war was the liberation OF
Cuba, and having once forced our VIII
upon Spain in that matter, it would be
infamous in us to proceed to a career OF
a of an unprovoked character.
Similarity of conditions and proximity
TO our shores may Justify US in wrestling
Porto Rico from the dominion of Spain.
Modern usage justifes us in annexing it
TO our own territory and in filling our
need for a couple of coaling stations in
the Far East by way of indemnity for
the expense of the war in blood and
treasure. But no claim for damages
could be extended TO cover the appro-
priation of such a possession as the
Philippines, and we woul stand before
the world as a robber nation, If we at
temnted such an act. OF course if Spain
refuses our terms now and we are obliged
TO overrun and subdue the islands. this
View of the case may no longer hold
good; but we are talking. of facts as they
are and not of improbable future develop
ments. AS for the insurgents of the
Aguinaldo and other factions, they are
evidently deserving of as little regard as
the Cuban bandits. or less. and if we Sc
cure for them good government, with
partial home rule, we are more than re-
paying any moral obligation which we
have incurred to them.
On the whole, President Mckinley has
shown wisdom and virtue in framing his
demands. We bespeak for him the cordial
support Of all citizens whom we may be
able to influence. and we hope and pray
that Spain may meet him in the same
spirit of moderation hat he has shown
and that the blessings of peace may soon
be enjoyed again by both countries.

MAYOR WILL APPROVE.
Ordinances to Make Two De-
partments Pay to be
Signed.

Mayor Hoos has consented to approve
two ordinances, now before the Board of
AlderNn, which will make two branches
of the city government self-sustaining
and give Mr.. Rohde a horse and carriage
to ride around in. The first one empow-
ers the Inspector of Scales, Weights and
Measures to place on every weight, scale,
measure, measuring rod or other device
or article used by merchants a stamp
which will cost two cents. The stamp
will be such as to prevent the use of
light weights or small measures.
The Inspector now merely visits stores
and tests weights and measures. Those
weights that are light are coniscated,
unbalanced scales repaired and short
measures destroyed. Under the present
system there is no way of keeping track
of those merchants who are given to
cheating. BY the adoption of the stamp
system it is believed trouble with legal
weights will be obviated in future. Mer-
chants are not averse to the payment Of
the new tax. In no instance. it is said,
will the tax exceed more than a dollar
a year. 1t will also nave the effect, 1t
is thought, of preventing the cheating of
customers by Inscriptions business men
as purchasers can demand that properly
stamped weights or measures be used.
The ordinance will be passed by the AL
dermen at their next meeting.
The second ordinance reorganizes meth
DDS in the Building Department. Under
the present arrangement applicants for
permits file plans and secure permits af-
ter the Inspector has carefully examined
the plans and specifications. 1t Is the
Inspectors duty then to watch the build
ing in the course of erection, to see that
the plans are not evaded.
1t is now proposed TO fix a tax Of 81
for all applications for extensions and
alterations; IS for frame buildings and
$40 for brick or stone houses. The new
tax will make the department more than
self-sustaining and may possibly permit
of the appointment of an assistant In
spector, whose only duty 1t VIII be to go
to all buildings In course of erection and
see to it that proper materials are fur
nished. The building ordinance will be
passed at next Tuesdays meeting Of the
Aldermen.
