Rev. Hervy Wood. Of Paterson, ]

Rev. Hervy Wood. Of Paterson, n.
j., State Superintendent Of the Anti
Saloon League, spoke in ST. Paul's n.
E. Church, last Monday afternoon.
The few that were present were pleased
with his able talk on the aims and pur-
poses of the League, and his personal
experiences in dealing with the saloon
and moral questions in Paterson, where
he has just left a Baptist charge, and =
salary Of $4,000 q year, aftera passionate
Of Is years, to take up the Office Of
State Superintendent Of the New Jersey
Branch, of Anti-SOlo0n League, which
under his able leadership promises to
be of lasting good to the temperance in
this State. He will return again later,
to speak on this question, when it is
hoped there will be q larger audience
out to hear him.
The river and harb0r act approved
March 3, 1899, contains an %apprOprja.
ton of $3O9, 900 for improving Delaware
River from Trenton to its month, q
portion of which sum is. under the
terms of the terms of the law, available
for obtaining a channel 600 feet wide
and 80 feet deep from Philadelphia to
deep water in Delaware Bay. A board
appointed by the Secretary to report on
the proposed work has O completed
the location of the channel. Its esti-
mated cost is SIS 1910. 600. The board
recommends the formation of an island
opposite Reedy Island by ~inclosing the
area between Baker Shoal and Stony
Point Shoal and filling the interior with
dredged material. Such All island
would furnish a place of deposit for
about 81, 700 900 cubic yards of material,
and would exert an important influence
in maintaining the channel at this To-
cation. where excessive width causes
persistent shoaling.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER.

Let the Democrats, Independents
and the liberal element of the country
in general never forget this extract
from Teddy" Roosevelt's st. Paul adj
dress:
''They (the Democrats of the country
stand for lawlessness and disorder, for
dishonesty and dishonor, for license and
disaster at home and cowardly shrink
age from DUTY abroad"
Keep this extract. from the Republi-
can Vice Presidential candidates most
important harrangue pasted in your
hat 1t is a deliberate insult to more
than one-half of the voting popula-
ton of the United States.
Democrats are set down as towards,
traitors, favoring lawlessness and dis
order, dishonest and inclined to dis
honor.
The American people will remember
this stigma placed upon them by
Teddy" the rough rider, and when
the time comes they will smite him
hip and thigh.

HERES ANOTHER STRAW.

At Boston on Tuesday noon. four
hundred business men, heretofore sup
porterS of President Mckinley. but now
opposed to him, assembled at Faneu;l
hall. Richard E. Herson presided. and
many we'll known men were present.
The principal address was made by ex-
Governor Boutwell,, who justified the
action of those who had withdrawn
from the Republican party on account
of its attitude on imperialism by the
statement that the Republican party
itself was born of deserters from par
ties then existing Mr.. Boutwell,
said. among other things:
The belief of Mr.. Bryan that silver NAV
be again used as basis of currency in
the place of gold or as rival of gold is
as harmless, in a practical aspect OF af-
fairs, as would be his belief in the Ptol-
emaic system OF the universe
MIR. Bryan committed an error In the
support that he gave TO the Mckinley
treaty He did then what Mr.. Hoar is
doing now.
I'VE may set forth the error of Mr.
Bryan in our best chosen language. we
may denounce his conduct as criminal
conduct, and at the end he can only
stand in the place of accessory to an Of
fence of which President Mckinley was
the guilty principal.
Bryan Endorsed an act in a series OF
unwise and dangerous acts in MckinIev's
imperialslic policy. Senator Hnar toler-
ates the entire public policy OF President
Mckinley. including the treaty and its
ratification in the Senate.
We may place upon Mr. Bryan the
measure OF responsibility that Senator
Hoar has laid upon him. and the respon-
sibility resting upon the President is what
it would have been If Mr. Bryan had re-
manned an unknown citizen of Nebraska ..
The resolutions denounce the Republi-
can administration and say:
We believe that free silver Is less SER
ious than free slaughter; we deprecate
the appeal TO the pocket at home and to
the cannon abroad; the doctrine that
Americans can. be made rich by taxation
and Filipinos righteous BY force and the
practice OF assimilation OF lower races In
