to the convention a delegation solid for
hi old ticket. Then he proceeded to
show how that same ticket would sweep
New Jersey by a majority almost as big
as that of 'ss. Why2 Just listen!
.'The Republican party in New Jersey
says Mr.. Kean, was never in better
lighting trim than it is at present 1t
has control of the State government and
a large majority of the county offices
and is not rent with discord or weakened
with fractional fights, as is the Democ-
racy. Its leaders are in harmony
This may be good information for Phila-
delphia, but it will not suit New Jersey.
Is it possible that MI. Kean has not
heard of the Republican troubles in Hud-
son, Salem, Somerset and other coun-
ties, or does the Junior Senator rely on
the fact that the Republicans are in con-
troll of the State and a large majority
of the county offices to roll up a Re-
publican majority? That kim of business
is not very healthy, Is more h one
good Republican in this State can testify.

President J.. ]. Mulvaney was before
the Finance Commissioners yesterday af-
.'ternoon explaining the s54. 1886 required
to repair the schools during the summer
and presenting the resolution OF the
Board of Education asking for the
amount. The committeeman of each
school, has given much attention to each
item of expenditure and has exercised Us
economy as possible. The total
amount asked for vas for necessaries,
Mr.. Mulvaney urged. and mo frills.
Then he preached the Board of Educa-
tons request for $500. 600 for a new High
School. This subject was threshed out at
the last conference of the Board of EdI-
cation and the Finance Board, on which
occasion Director J. E. Hulshizer, Jr., put
the needs of such an institution square,y
before the Board as follows
I'VE desire to have a mode building
constructed in accordance with the latest
requirements. We would k to have the
full amount due to US not that we wish to
spend all the money, but that we should
have it at hand and be able to keep with
in the amount. The wish is to build q
building which shall be a monument to
the city"
President Mulvaney said that the Board
of Education would be ready next week
with a list of sites and they would confer
again with the Board of Finance. That
meeting will take place on Tuesday next,
and some action will be taken.

Mr.. Moss, mildly.

AS neither Mr.. Moss nor Mr.. Mazet
seemed to be anxious to have Captain

KEAN FOR The OLD TICKET
Senator Quoted by PhiladeI-
phia Paper as Saying New
Jersey Favors McKin-
ley and Hobart Again

PHILADELPHIA, June 1, 1S9s.-The
Inquirer prints this morning the fol-
lowing interview with Senator John Kean,
of New Jersey
You may quote me, if you wish, as
saying that there is. a practically unani-
nous sentiment in the Republican party
in this State in favor of the denomination
of Mckinley and Hobart. The State
Convention, I believe, will send a solid
delegation for their support. Every Re-
publican should be proud of the record
President Mckinley has made, while Mr..
Hobart has shown consummate tact and
ability as the presiding officer of the
Senate, and is the most popular Vice
President we nave ever had. 1t was be-
cause of his earnest, conscientious dis
charge of public duties that Mr.. Ho-
bart's health was impaired, but l hear
that he is rapidly regaining strength and
vigor, and l expect to see him again
with Major Mckinley heading the Re-
publican ticket. That cannot help but
be a winning ticket in 1900"
How about New Jersey? Can the
State be relied upon for a Republican ma
jority next year?p Senator Kean was
asked.
with Mckinley and Hobart, without a
doubt. In 1896 we carried the State by
1852 plurality. That, of course, was a
tremendous landslide, due largely to the
Democratic slump on the silver issue.
New Jersey is a sound money State, and
so long as our friends the enemy con-
tinue to incorporate 16 to l in their plat
form there will be no danger of the State
going Democratic at a national election.
Mr.. hobart will, of course, add strength
to the ticket, and New Jersey can be de-
pended upon to roll up a handsome Re-
publican majority.
1.-THE Republican party in New Jersey
was never in better fighting trim than it
is at present. 1t has control of the State
government and a large majority of the
county offices, and is not rent with dis
cord or weakened with fractional fights, as
is the Democracy. It's leaders are in har-
mony, and it will go into the battle in
1900 with a solid front and with every
prospect of success. The delegates-at-
large to the Republican National Conven-
ton will be United States Senator Sewell,
United States Senator Kean, Franklin
Murphy. chairman of the State Commit
tee, and Barker Gummere, of Trenton.
General Sewell will be chairman of the
delegation"

MAJOR BRENSINeER'S CHANCES

Little interest in manifested in military
affairs in the Fourth Regiments at pres
ent. The drill season has closed until the
fall, and few, if any, company meetings
will be held during the summer months.
There is interest, however. in the COLI
test for the position of Lieutenant Colonel,
made vacant by the resignation of ].
Howard Bumsted. Majors Joseph Bren-
singer, Arthur Shute and Henry Lehman
are the contestants. The majority Of the
officers are inclined to think the first
named stands the best chance of winning
out. AS yet Colonel Smith has ordered no
election to fill the position.

John Kean. of Elizabeth. the junior
United States Senator from the State of
New Jersey, once won a reputation for
being a man of much political sense and
acumen by simply keeping his mouth
shut. If he was asked for an opinion on
some momentous question of the day he
would simply smile, look wise and say
nothing.
Recently, however, the Junior Senator
has begun to talk, and thereby he has
put his reputation for wisdom in great
jeopardy. His latest performance in this
line took place a day or W ago in the
columns of the Philadelphia Inquirer"
Mr.. Kean began by declaring most posi-
lively that the Republican Presidential.
ticket IN 1900 would be Mckinley and
Hobart. and that New Jersey would send

PILLS WHITE WINGS.
Suggestion to Put City Employees In
Uniform.

Mr.. Phil Muldoon, whose performance
of his duties as Inspector of Sewers, has
elected the highest praise, is enthusiastic
over a suggestion of Supervising Engineer
James P. Hall that the fifteen men under
Inspector Muldoon's orders should be uni
formed. The idea was suggested to his
Honor the Mayor, who said it was good.
.You see,,' said the Inspector, 'if they
wore uniforms, smart ones and bang up
they would be out of sight"
But that's what we don't want them to
be out of sight" Col. Waring of New
York put his sweepers in white luck so
that they, couldn't loaf in saloons, but be
conspicuous everywhere" explained Mr..
Hall.
Gee, that's true n / don't think the
boys will like that said the Inspector re-
1ectively chewing the end of his cigar.

Ball Pitching in the Street.

At this season of the year there pre-
walls a nuisance, which the safety of the
public demands that the police suppress
at once. 1t is baseball in the public
streets. Recently a lady on an open car
was struck in the face with a ball thrown
by a boy playing in the streets and pain
fully bruised. Two small boys were walk
ing I'D one of our streets the other day
passing a ball to each other when a lady
came between them. The urchins paid
no attention to her, but continued their
play and it was only by skillful lodging
that the lady escaped being struck with
the ball.
There are many more instances of this
nature, and hi more people are moi
seriously injured is due more to good luek
than good management. No one, as far
as we know, desires to stop ball playing.
Under proper conditions it is a wholesome
sport and everything should be lone to
encourage it-on large vacant lots, for IN
stane-as it tends to make sounder and
more healthy men of our boys. But all
This can be accomplished without endan-
eering the safety of pedestrians or the
windows of citizens. There are plenty OF
open spaces within easy access of all Sec
lions OF the city where the boys can in
dulge in the national game to their hearts
content without danger to anything ex-
eept their own knuckle joints, and there
IS no reason why. the police should not
keep ball players off the streets.

ANNOYED SOME WOMEN.
Passengers in a Newark Car Dis
turbed by Some Rowdies.

Edward Miller and John Kane two
tough young men, of No. 31 Warren
street, Newark, gave a number of women
quite a scare on a Newark car,
about half past eight last night. Both
were under the influence of liquor. They
acted In a most boisterous manner, using
all kinds of vile language. This was kept
up all the way across the plank road.
The Conductor, Dominick Murray, stop
ped the car at the C-ommunipaw avenue
station and made a complaint against the
rowdies. Patrolman Post and Noble were
sent out to arerst the men. In the mean
time they had jumped from the car and
down Communipaw avenue toward the
function. The officers rave chase and cap
tured the fugitives. They were held on
charges of disorderly conduct.
