Last summer, while wandering across
the heights of Edinburgh, I met two
young Englishmen. They were masters
in an English public school, and were
making a tour through Scotland-though
not alone and not merely for pleasure; for
they acted as leaders of a party consist
ing of about seventy people. Their travel
ing companions were not rich boys from
Rugby School, but working men making
their escape for week from the CRIME
and noise of the town. And now, under
the able guidance of both masters, they
were occupied in viewing the historic
places of the Scottish kings and the pict-
uresque landscapes of the country of Sir
Walter Scott amidst happy variation
of instruction, conversation, games and
songs 1t was kind of school Journey

-FFAGAN'S LARGE MAJORITY
Seymour Defeats Farr by 500
and Has Nearly All the
Aldermen With Him.

The citizens of Jersey City asserted
their independence again yesterday and
reelected Mayor Hoos by an overwhelm-
ing majority, placed two good Democrats
in the Street and Water Board and elect
ed eleven Democratic Aldermen out OF
twelve. The only one the Republicans
secured was in the Eighth ward and
there the Democrats cut down the normal
Republican majority of 900 to $780, In
spite of the frantic efforts of the Repub-
licans to mislead the citizens they refused
to be deceived and endorsed the admins
tration of Mayor Hoos by majority of
close to 7,0oo Two years ago when Mr..
Hoos was first elected Mayor his
majority was about 1900. The total vote
of the city was below that of two years
ago. Then it was 27,s52, while this year
it is 25,S31..
One of the most interesting phases of
the election was the Ninth ward. There
Thomas F. Bedle the Democratic candi-
date for Alderman was elected by 81,
while Mr.. Watson the Republican can
date for Mayor carried the ward by 24.
The election yesterday was one of the
ouietest in the history of the State and
passed off without incident. There was
no disturbance anywhere and the police
had nothing to do but patrol the vicinity
of the polling places and look wise. As
soon as it became dark the ubiquitous
manner and the streets were ablaze with
the bon fires which he kindled with the
barrels he has been accommodating during
the past three or four weeks.
The Democratic victory extended over
the entire county. In Hoboken
Lawrence Pagan was elected Mayor by
plurality of 1900 and four Democratic
Aldermen were elected. In Bayonne
Mayor Seymour defeated Farr, the Re
publican candidate for Mayor by 500 and
Hyuan Lazarus was elected Recorder by
the same majority.

Manufacturing has largely increased

largely to the growth of the retail trade
of place. A striking example of what

They are made from the locust tree,

the water wheel for the mill is only ten

INDIVIDUAL REPUBLICANS FAVOR AMEND.
MENT

As we have said before the Repub-
lican party, as an organization, is CON
trolled by the influence of the 12O 1000
negroes who constitute FOUR FIFTHS
of its voting strength, and will be forced
by their influence to oppose the amend
ment, but, that we are glad to know,
will not deter thousands of honest white
Republicans who are under no obliga-
tions to the negro. and who believe that
the future of their party is hopeless so
long as it is dominated by him, from
voting and working for the amendment.
Republicans like General Cowles and
MIR. Sharpe know that the negro hangs
like a milestone around their necks and
the neck of the Republican party. and
that they will never be able to throw
off the incubus so long as they follow
the DEGREES Of their party conventions,
and they have determined to put the
axe unto the root Of the tree and help
10 eradicate the evil When the State
shall have been freed from the menace
and incubus Of irresponsible negro suf-
