empty for three months, and it was remarked
that EITHER our people have become very

The extension of the protective factory leg

the manufacturing industries of the entire
country, should at once be made national
issue.
OF course there is little reason to believe
that the Democratic party would favor such a
proposition. Its principles and traditions all
point the other way. 1t is constitutionally an
ldissez fdire, let-alone policy. This task
properly belongs to the Republican party. It
is in line with its traditions and principles,

To Go this would be great step forward in
the application of protective policy. 1t would
show that Republican protection is not re-

as efficiently as it does to the material in

HOME FOR FIREMEN.
plans Discussed at Meeting of state Fire.
mems Association


At meeting of the committee of the
New Jersey Firemen's Association held in
Trenton on Wednesday, the project
of establishing home for disabled
or needy firemen was discussed and suf-
dcient progress was made to insure the
establishment of the same during the
present year. This subcommittee were
appointed at the annual meeting of the
association held in September last and
have been at work ever since and the re-
cent meeting was to put the matter in de-
finite shape. Its membership is Gen. Bird
W. Spencer, president of the State Asso-
ciation; Comptroller Hancock, Commits
sioner Beattle, former Governor George
Werts, William Fl. Brown. of Newark:
Horace Brown, of Newark; John Nc
Herman of Paterson; William H. JEFF
freys, of Burlington; Mayor Egbert Sey-
mour, of Bayonne; William T. Corliss,
of Red Bank; Edward j. Condit, of
East Orange; Benjamin w. Cloud, of
Woodbury. and George M. Reading, of
.Frenchtown.
Secretary William Fl. Brown of the
nmmittee said, concerning the under
ing: There are go, 900 active fremen
New Jersey and an association which
Anprises about 100 local organizations
an different parts of the State, with a
combined treasury account Of about
$500. 900. The income of the association
is derived from the two per cent. State
tax levied on foreign insurance corpora
fions doing business in the State, and
which is distributed pro rata among the
several local organizations. Newark,
with the largest department in the State,
and with necessarily the heaviest drain
npon its funds, has managed to accuinu-
late a surplus of about $4,000, and
other local associations have proportion
ately large one.
Many of those in receipt of aid are old
and inirm, and obliged to live in any
thing but pleasant surroundings. For
this reason many states have established
a home on the plan of the soldiers home,
and experience has proven, it is held.
that such home is less expensive than
the individual maintenance of de-
pendants.
The necessary funds are available, but
cannot be used for any purpose except
the immediate relief of dependents with
out necessary legislation. To prepare a
bill for that purpose, and secure its pas
sage, the following committee was ap-
pointed: William S. Hancock. George
T. Werts, William H. Brown, Egbert
Seymour and George M. Reading. The
bill will be prepared at once and SUBJ
united to the Legislature.
Offers of sites like the abandoned
Netherwood Hotel at Plainfeld, have al
ready been made, but the committee
expects to wait until it has large field
from which to make a selection.

The Penny-G iver to Church Collections.
Edward w. Box makes an earnest plea, in
the February Ladies' Home Journal. for a
more liberal giving to church collections. Ii
is an insult to God and to His church, he con-
tends TO surreptitiously drop a penny in the
collection basket. when one can readily afford
to give more. People. he says, take literally
the teaching that religion is free. when-in
fact. it costs money to have free religion. He
suggests even that clergymen announce from
their pulpits that NO pennies are wanted. and
he shows how the money for church work
could be greatly increased if those who now
give pennies would maxi nickel their mini
mum contribution. This, of course, does not
include the very poor. whose penny is indeed
the widow mite ".

Almanacs multiply in the land, but there is
always one which stands at the head of the
list; and the rank of standard authority among
almanacs probably belongs to that of the New
York Tribune. What Whittaker's is abroad
the Tribune almanac is in America. The num-
Der for 1898, a copy of which lies before US, is
the largest ever issued by the Tribune, contain
ing 34O pages and having variety of new fea-
lures of some interest. For a man who has
occasion to refer in the course of year, to
some book OF reference for public statistics the
platforms of parties, the names and salaries of
government and state officials and the returns
OF recent elections, there is no more valuable
source of correct information than the Tribune
Almanac. We observe that the 1888 number
contains the Constitution of the United States
and the constitution of the state of New York,
(the latter providing Tor non-partisan munich
pal elections and of which we heard so much
during last falls campaign in Greater New
York; The war in Cuba and the Greco Turk

At last the important news comes that the
great literary work contributed to by the RI
Hon. William e. Gladstone and his seventeen
scholarly cOnfTeTeS has been placed by the
publisher on the general book market and is
now within the easy reach of every one in this
community. We refer to the Peoples Bible
History. 1t is well worth while looking this
over just to see the great names in all denomi-
nations of faith who have been laboring in
this no able undertaking and to realize the
comprehensive way in which they have
carried out the plan of producing thoroughly
complete and modern presentation of the Bible
in its historical aspects. Whether judged
from the literary or typographical point of
view, it may very properly be called the most
monumental production from the press in
recent years. Its value to the reading public
and other great works of reference. There is
such general and unqualified approval from
the clergy and the pr ss. AS the publisher
provides the work In go many editions there
ought TO be no trouble about being suited
either as to bindings or payments. Two
editions are offered at popular prices as well
more fastldious book lovers. The most &C.
ceptable sty lie for the great majority, however,
will undoubtedly be the Quarlo edition in six
teen parts, bound in stiff paper covers a
convenient for easy handling. This is issued
especially to bring the work within reach of
all classes. AS everyone " no pretends to have
any kind OF good private library. no matter
