wishes of the body at any stage. lie went
on to say that over one thousand children
in Jersey City were unable to attend
school for a time because such a bill as
this was not a law, He concluded MS
remarks by Withdraw wing his appeal.
Mr.. Pitney replied with some warmth
to Mr.. McDermott's structures. He de-
MED that the committee had acted differ
emily with this bill from n other bills
before them. The fact was that the Sen
ator from Hudson had failed to explain
the measure satisfactorily, although it
had been before the committee three
times. Committees, he added, are the
eyes and ears of the Senate, and are to
examine and sift bills placed in their
hands, so as to relieve the general body
from the almost impossible task of study
ing out every measure brought before
them. Bills should not be run through
committees as. through a hopper, but as
a general principle they should not be re-
ported unless s0me sufficient reason was
furnished Mr. Pitney denied that he, as
chairman. had assumed any undue func-
tions. M ,
Al somewhat lively cross-fire ensued be-
tween Messrs. McDermott and Pitney, as
70 itle SoIHHiltttS ; tfSdtHfSAl VI tbo VII,
the former charging that he had never
but once been notified of a meeting of the
committee, n the latter declaring that
the Senator from Hudson vas champion
ing a dangerous bill, or one which had
the earmarks of a dangerous bill.
The appeal from the chair having been
Withdrawn. the President declared the dis
eussion closed.
Everybody knows that these exhibitions
of smartness on the part of Mr.. Pitney
are part of his campaign for the Guber-
Material nomination in 1901. and ii is
generally conceded that in these encoun-
tiers with Mr.. McDermott his boom re-
ceived considerable damage and will have
to be hauled off for repairs.

M
Academy of Music

Way Down East which stood the
test OF a half years run in New York
city last season, and which is contracted
to occupy the New York Academy of
Music all next season, will be Manager
Henderson's offering at the Academy of
Music this coming week, with matinees
on Wednesday and Saturday. Way
Down East" is a play of rural life, the
locals being New England, with an
abundance of those types of character
which are supposed to exist Whereabouts
and nowhere else in this broad n New
England is a fruitful field for the dramat-
ist. first because these homely charac-
t~erizations appeal strongly to everyone,
and again for the. reason that the type.
is rapidly becoming obsolete. Mrs.
Parker. in her play, has successfully COM
bined the domestic with the dramatic,
and while her story is not a new one, it
is treated in an original manner which
preserves interest until the final cur
tain Her story is one that cannot be told
too often, for besides amusing it carries
a striking moral. 1t is a theme full of
human interest, and the personages of
the play are selected with excellent judg-
ment and drawn with skill, for Mrs.
Parker was born and reared in the vicin-
ity wherein she has laid the scenes of
her play. The scenic effects are costly,
elaborate and complete. Manager VIII
liam A. Brady has made it the most
~pretentious production in his respect
that he has ever associated himself with.
He has also kept intact the company
which presented it during the long run
at the Manhattan Theatre. They will
introduce it to Jersey City theatregoers
at the Academy of Music. Conspicuous
in the organization are bright and SYM
pathetic Phoebe Davis. who, in the title
role of Anna Moore" has given to the
stage a Characterization that has met
with the ~unbounded approval of the press
throughout the country, and Odell VIII
liams, as the aOld Squire has been as
successful in the Interpretation as when
he essayed Denman Thompson's role in
the stOld Homestead Forrest Robinson,
George Backus, Ella Hugh Wood, Sara
Stevens and Louise Galloway contribute
much TO the success of the play.
On Wednesday afternoon a souvenir
will be given in c-ommemoration of the
venir will be an elaborate gold mounte
glass inkstand, and fifty celebrates the
anniversary of this famous play.

NEW FIRE CHART.
Assistant Chief Lowell Has Arrang-
ed a Comprehensive One.

Assistant Engineer Hud Lowell of the
Jersey City Fire Department has made a
new chart for use at headquarters on
Bay street. 1t contains all the informal
ton regarding the engines that respond to
a first, second and third alarm. The num-
bers of the engines that should go on a
first alarm are opposite the regular sta
ton number, which are printed in very
large type and can be readily found in a
hurry.
The new card also tells the companies
thai relieve one another and explains how
a first, second and third alarm should
be sent in. Each house in the city will
be equipped with the new chart in a very
short time.
The Commissioners at the last meeting
thanked the Assistant Chief for his
clever piece Of work in arranging the
new chart, which is a great benefit to
the department.

Democracy in the Bergen Section

We are glad to see the Bergen Demo-
cratic Association awake and active thus
early in the campaign. The meeting which
it held. last evening. may be considered
as the opening gun in the battle for the
election of Mayor Hoos, Alderman Mid
lige, Commissioners Heintze and Sullivan.
and a Democratic Board of Aldermen.
1t is especially encouraging that this
first gun should have been fired in a Re-
publican ward-the Republican ward par
excellence of the city. 1t shows that the
Democracy is not only confident but
aggressive. 1t shows that our fighters are
not only sure of winning, but so sure that
they have powder to burn to capture the
enemy's ~strongholds.
The Bergen Democratic Association has
done wonders since it was organized. 1t
has at all times kept the Republican ma
jority in the Eighth ward down to its
narrowed margin. 1t has twice been help
full in carrying the Ninth ward for Demo-
cratic candidates. 1t will no doubt be of
great assistance this year. when Repub-
lican dissensions once more give a good
prospect of placing the Ninth in the
Democratic column.
The question arises every election
season as to whether the Eighth is forever
and hepelessly a Republican ward. We
think not. 1t is a thinking ward. There
are more men in it than in any other Sec
ton OF the city who are ready, for good
reason, to break away from party ties,
and vote with the party which offers the
best inducements in the way of good n
progressive government, whether for
Nation. State or city. There is no section
where the papers are more carefully read
and better understood. and there is none
where the moral and material phases Of
such questions as our Philippine White
Elephant, the National deficit, the grow
ing extravaganza of the Republican party
In State affairs, or. on the other hand,
the immense gain to the city of a new,
permanent and perfect water supply. are
more intelligently appreciated han in the
very streets Of the Eighth ward which are
supposed to furnish its Republican ma
jority.
What is wanted in that ward is a little
more good leadership, a little more of the
leadership that will appeal to what is
commonly called the silk-stocking -ele-
ment. a little more intelligent presentation
of true Democratic doctrine in its reason
able or a-rgumentative shape. With a
little work Of the right sort by the right
men, we believe the ward could be made
surely Democratic in five years.

A Task for Methodists.
e~HE Methodist church has under

THE Methodist church has under
taken a herculean task for the
remaining two years of this CEN
fury. What Is styled a twentieth
century commission" has been started.
1t has been decided to make 2,OOO, 900
converts to the church between the be-
ginning of the present year and the
close of the century and to raise the
sum of $20,000,000 additional to the Gus
tomary annual sum contributed for
church purposes. This immense sum of
money, equal to what this country is
paying Spain for the Philippine islands,
is to be used for educational and chart
table institutions. Half of it is to go
to the universities, theological seminar
les, colleges and schools of the church
and the other half to the hospitals, or
phanages, homes for the aged and
other charitable institutions.
How this tremendous task can be ac-
complished is shown by Bishop Fowler
in this exhortation, Back to your knees
and to your affairs, oh Methodsm! Send
up the agonizing cry from every church
and from every family altar Two mil
lion converts in the two remaining

The Methodist Episcopal church is
credited at the present time with
membership of 5.65S,2S people in the
United States and with 5o,423 churches.
1t was not many years ago that the
Methodists started out to raise "a mil

seemed an impossible task but it was
accomplished The present task will
be a greater tax on the resources and
energy of the denomination but the
prophecy may be safely made that it
will likewise be accomplished. The
