Many Republicans express regret
that Hon. George Gray is to be retired
from the United States Senate. We
have no patience with such express
sions. Every Intelligent Republican
knew what would be the result OF the
election of a Republican Legislature,
and that the only manner to effect the
return OF Mr.. Gray was to elect a
Democratic Legislature. Some of these
men express the hope that in case OF a
deadlock enough Republicans will vote
With the Democrats to effect the return
Of Mr.. Gray. Such a thing is out Of the
question. 1t is no more likely this
session than it was four years ago,
when the Democrats gave the Repubh-
cans and Addlcksites an ample oppor-
tunity to follow that line of action. MIR.
Gray has nothing to expect or hope Tor
from the Republicans or Addicksites.
He must place his reliance in the fu-
ture Action OF the Democratic party, OF
which he is the acknowledged leader.

Ex-State Senator John Pilling, of

less in his utteranees as in his actions.
While other Republican and Union Re

erence Mr.. Piliing comes out flat-fOOt-
ed and says: Personally l have moth
ing against Mr.. Addicks, but object to

Addicks will discover THAT there are

do is to play his old game of Addicks

Talk To Children.

Rev. J. d. q. Hanna in his five minutes
talk to the children in Union NJ. f..
Church. last Sunday morning, referred to
the powor of God to help every one who
may call upon him for aid In every emer-
gcncy in this life. Sincere prayers were
certain to be answered and crooked paths
made straight. Efforts to overcome d FL
culties We're very apt to provo successful.
As an example ho referred to little book
written by Bishop Horne in which m ac-
count Is given Of tho great bridge at Ne
Foo Chow, China, on the top of wH!lh,
700 feet above the water, Is q stone suppose
to weigh 30 tons. II was marvel 90
trnyellors how this big stone cou!a havo
been raised to such q height without tho
aid OF III odern machinery. To accomplish
he work tho Chinese mechanics prayed
to tho moon for help. They procured u
pontoon and placed II In the river, and
on it the great stone was rolled, SO WHOM
the tide came up 1t was raised seven feet
This space was then llled by proper sup.

that the moon aided in this great work,
their theory was no. altogether erroneous.

yonng folks through Invoking Gods aid
will be enabled to overcome evil habits
and proponsities and walk in the narrow
path that leads TO respectability In this
world and happiness In heaven.

New York, Aug. 22.-The ships be-
longing to Admiral Simpsons feet re-
ceived thousands of callers yesterday
The crowds which visited the war ves-
sells were second only to those which
greeted them during their progress up
the North river on Saturday 1t Is es-
timated that the Staten Island ferry
boats broke their records for carrying
people yesterday. The entire feet of
six fcrryboats was In service, and the
regular schedule was abandoned, boats
being dispatched from either terminal
as rapidly as they could be loaded and
unloaded. During the greater portion
Of the day they carried as many pas
sengers as the law would allow In
asmuch as the big Castleton and the
Robert Garrett have a capacity close
to 5000, 1t Is estimated that fully 1885,
900 people visited the islesa during the
day.
The big excursion steamers bound for
resorts all followed the Staten Islanl
course. instead Of keeping in toward
the Long Island coast, thus giving tens
of thousands of additional excursion
lists the opportunity of viewing the
warships. Small boats We're in great
demand in the vicinity of the Staten
Island shore and the boatmen fairly
coined money. Even canal boats were
impressed into service. 1t Is estimated
that at times at least 250 small boats
swarmed in and out among the big
warships.

of the wounded about 100. The Span
ish losses were 200 killed and 400
wounded. The fire of the Americans did
practically no damage to the town or
to the non-combatants. The Americans
had considerable difficulty in keeping
the insurgents out Of the city, only ad-
mitting those who were without
