REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS
Franklin Murphy and Sena-
tor Stokes Speak Of North
and South, Jersey.

Especial to 'The Jersey City News.")
NEWARK, Sept. %, 1900.-An air of un-
usual cheerfulness pervaded the rooms of
the Republican State Committee yester-
day. The confident mien of Chairman
Murphy and his colleagues was more no.
ticeable than ever, and the smiles of self
complacency which Illuminated the fea-
lures of the campaign managers who were
present were broader than heretofore. The
general good feeling was traceable to re-
ports from opposite ends of the State,
which, to the minds of the leaders indi-
Gated that the party is in excellent shape
throughout the Commonwealth.
Mr.. Murphy looked serenely confident
when he put in an appearance at head
quarters after having spent Thursday at
the Fourth District Congressional conven-
tion in Washington, where Judge H. Bur-
dette Herr was nominated. So impressed
was the State chairman with what he had
seen and heard that when a reporter
asked him how things were in the Fourth
District his first words were:-
1--WE are going to elect our Congressman
there. actually believe we can win in
that district" Mr.. Murphy went on. "as
Judge Herr is an excellent candidate He
has a winning personality and an unim-
peachable record. We had a full conver>-
ton and the enthusiasm manifested was
as earnest and as fine as could be. The
party organization is in good shape now
in Morris, Sussex, Warren and Hunterdon
counties, but it will be Strengthened be-
fore election day, and the 1,5O0 votes we
will have to turn to win will be a by no
means impossible task
"How about the rest of the State?" Mr..
Murphy was asked.
"There is nothing special to be said of
the rest of the State just now he replied,
Except that the demand for buttons Is
tremendous"
A few minutes later Senator E. S.
Stokes, of Cumberland Vice. Chairman OF
the committee, entered the headquarters
and Joined Mr.. Murphy and William Riker
in conference. Speaking of the condi-
tions in the southern tier of counties, Mr..
Stokes said
I'VE never open the speaking campaign
until October down our way, so that at
present matters are going along smooth
ly and quietly. The campaign commit
tees of the various counties are already
at work, clubs are bing organized, ban-
ners raised and the voters are becoming
interested, so that when the time for
| meetings comes we will be heard from II
good shape"
The reelection of Congressman Lou
denslager and Gardner is regarded as
| foregone conclusions by Senator Stokes,
| but of the Third District the Senator said
he had not heard much lately.
That's always been more or less of a
n
we've got there before, and will again.
| When asked about the attitude of the
| Gold Democrats in Cumberland and adja-
cent counties Senator Stokes said
'I have reason to believe that most OF
the Democrats who were with US in 1896
are with us still and will vote for Nc
Kinley. OF course 1 have made no can
vass. as those men are not saying much
about what they intend to do; still, I be-
| lieve my estimate of the situation is
pretty nearly right

What His View of the
Issues Is.

A Republican mass meeting was held at

rockets exploded and sent their showers
of sparks over the roof of the Taber-
nacle. A crowd of Republicans filled the
Tabernacle and occupied nearly every
seat in the big auditorium. Portraits of
Mckinley and Roosevelt were very prom
inently exhibited. On the platform were
seated Flavel MCGEE, who presided; Geo.
l.. Record James N. Vredenburgh,
Samuel Blake1ey, William Eaton, Post

THE |. c. U. STAG.
GreenvilIe Non Had a jolly Time
Mt Eerir's

The annual stag and dinner of the 1. c.
u Club was held last night at Steve
Herig's Newark Bay Shore House. The
dinner was a great success and another
will undoubtedly be given next year.
Conveyances brought the diners from
Columbia Hall to the Shore House about
nine-thirty. They Immediately sat down
and the dinner was served.
While the diner was being served the
programme of the stag was rendered.
Harry Fries sang tenor solos. Willie
Fries, who is only five years old next
sang two comic songs, which were
roundly applauded. The child was very
clever for one of such tender years and
his efforts were very much appreciated.
James J. Johnson, a humorist, told some
very funny stories. Mr.. William Char
lock sang a comic song, which brought
down the house. Mr.. John Grady rendered
a number of baritone solos, which were
very warmly applauded.
BY the time the programme had been
finished the dinner was nearing its end
The talent was all taken from the guests
and members of the I. C.. US and WIS.,
very good. After dinner speeches were
next in order and Mr. Louis Duesing, of
New York, was the first called upon.
Mr.. Duesing thanked the club for the
pleasure of being with them and made
very great hit by referring to his good
friend Joseph Kaiser, as the ''Czar of
Greenville.'
Mr.. Joseph Kaiser was next called upon
and he made a very witty speech, which
was the cause of much merriment. He
said he was one of the 'Kaisers' of
Greenville so could not see how the could
hold the title of Czar.
Mr.. Kaiser was followed by Mr.. Thomas
Keeley "Steve" Herig, Albert Mertens
Joseph Filoramo and Doctor Hennessey,
of New York.
Among those present were:-Louis
Duesing, Daniel Allen, Fred Mollenhauer,
Egnond Mollenhauer, William Rideout.

Village Em bler,s.

Many English villages acknowledge
some animal as a sort of emblem, says
the New York Evening POST Thus
mice, cuckoos, mules, monkeys, geese,
bulldogs, potatogrugs and many other
bird or beast forms represent this or
that English community. The boys par
ticularly go in for the village emblem.
At Loughton, when the Hillborough
school children pass through in wagons,
the Loughton boys hang up some dead
mice in derision, mice being the badge of
Hillsborough, as of certain ancient towns
in the Troad. This kind of thing, killing
the totem Of the neighbors, in Egypt, is
illustrated in a well-known passage of
Juyenal.
1t is the prevalence of these beast and
bird emblems, totems in fact, that has
had led some over-serious persons in
England to suspect a survival of ancient
totem worship. Andrew Lang, describing
these facts entertaininly in the Athen-
aeum, shows that we have to do merely
with symbols forced upon the villagers in
derision, and later proudly accepted by
them Call man hen-pecked and he
adopts the hen as his totem, is the idea.
Totem worship there is none In the mat
ter except SO far as the village young
barbarians' work out partially mouse
or cuckoo rite for each generation.
There is danger IN trying to see too much,
and there is no more q fotenistic survival
in these village elnb1erns than there Is In
the Ga1lic cock, the Republican elephant
or the Tammany tiger.

DEcKERlTEs ON THE WARpATH.

In spits of the effoffrts of the Repub-
lican machine people to hold possession
of the enrolment books of the Eighth
ward. the anti-ring men have succeeded
in obtaining copies of all the books, which
will come in handy when the primaries
are held next month. At these primaries
there promises to be trouble. The Decker
people have q ticket to put up and are
more than anxious to elect it. The joining
of several of the precincts will prove
somewhat disastrous to the opposing
forces and places the balance of power
In the hands Of the machine men.

WOMEN IN SALOONS.
Vice Chancellor Stevens Comments
on Common German Custom.

Vice Chancellor Stevens resumed this
morning hearing testimony in the habeas
corpus proceedings of Mrs. Laura Her
mann, against her husband Adam, of No.
1856 Montgomery street, to recover the
custody of her child, Philip Henry, four
years old.
The husbands contention was that his
wife was unfit to have the care of the
child. She. he testified, had been seen
going into a saloon on Montgomery
street.
II believe said the Vice Chancellor
'it is the practice of Germans to go
mot saloons and drink beer. The mere
fact that Mrs. Hermann went into a
saloon does not in my mind make her
unfit to take care of the child. In The
eyes of German people It is not improper
to go int salons. 1nded I find it to be
common practice with them"
Tn case was not finished.

Mininq Experiment Stations.

1t is now proposed that the govern
ment establish mining experiment sta
lions in every mining section of the
country. The good done by the agricul-
tural experiment stations is 81 apparent
and is so greatly appreciated that min
ing experiment stations will probably
be equally as successful. The mining
industry is to some extent the founda-
ton of prosperity. It's precious metals
form the basis of exchange, and it's
baser metals are the foundation of near
ly all industries. AS the agricultural
experiment stations are a guide to sci
entific agriculture, so in these mining
experiment stations the accumulated
knowledge of the industry in its multi
tudinous forms should be at the dis
posal of the Investigator, and the ulti-
mate result must be of great benefit to
mines and mining, no matter of what
nature. The recognition that mining Is
receiving in congress Is somewhat tar
dy, but is of great value, nevertheless,
and a department of mines seems to be
one Of the great probabilities Of the
near future. Anything that awakens
an interest In the encouragement of an
industry sc great should receive the
support of all the people.

Resolutions Adopted by Republican
City Convention.

Be it resolved by the Republicans Of
the City Of Santa Fe, in delegate con-
vention assembled:
That we heartily indorse the admins
tration of President Mckinley, which
has brought to the nation at large peace
and glorya and to this territory unprec-
edented prosperity.
That as a part of such administration
we most heartily approve of the course
pursued by Governor Otero, since he
has been the chief executive of the ter
ritory, under whom it's affairs have been
administered efficiently, honestly and
for the best interests of the people.
That the conduct of the last Demo-
cratic city administration merits the
severest condemnation Of all citizens
and taxpayers without regard to poll
tics, for it's high-handed methods and
utter disregard Of law. We charge that
the present city administration has ap-
pointed officers in violation of the stat
ute; that it has caused the public money
to be paid out to personal favorites in
utter disregard of law, and has failed to
pay just and valid accounts against the
city, in direct violation of the Bateman
law; hat it has failed to repair our
sidewalks, or clean u streets, until
now they are a disgrace to the city, as
well as absolutely dangerous to travel;
that it has attempted to violate solemn
contracts of the city, and to issue bonds
for a large amount of money, without
any consultation with the taxpayers,
and for which there was no necessity;
that it has appointed officers who were
VIGOROUSLY unfit persons for the posi-
tons, and has generally shown an utter
disregard for the wishes of the taxpay-
ers, and contempt for the laws Of the
territory.

If the Republican city tickets in SAM

cause the Republicans are not alive to
their duty and opportunity to give those
cities governments that are progressive
as we'll as honest, modern as well as
economical; governments that will
make New Mexico city government a
model instead of a byword for other
communities. Not one Of the Republic

cities is a politicians ticket, but in
the true sense of the word are "citi-

Bernalillo county has sufficient delin-

indebtedness and to reduce the rate of
taxation one-half. Heretofore there has
been a premium in all counties on the
non-payment of taxes, and that is the
