ons oe the most amazing instances OF
.e,a,s, td;ocv that has become public In
wears is the action Of David II. Merees'
Chairman, Of the COMMITTEES on Puhlic
Rpila;nes Of the House of Representa-
tives, in writing to Mayor Fagan on the
Post once question. The Mayor telling
Federal Official what the population OF
Jersey City is. with the Census once oniy
a few blocks from the Capitol and i's
s.,sormation at the command OF every
Congressman is certainly an exhibition OF
circumlocution to make the gods stare.
similar criticism is applicable to the
questions bearing on the industry and
wealth Of the city and the needs OF the
Post ofice and the Internal Revenue De-
partment Why Mr.. Mercer did not get
+b,s Information from the proper Federal
offieial. it is hard to imagine.
The application to the Mayor for insof-.
nation touching the value Of sites is in a
different category. 1t il rational and
business like. The question as to whether
tha city or citizens would donate site
is. however, an absurdity Of the hrst
water Why should the city or citizens
present the Government with site? the
Government makes a vast profit annually
m,t OF the Jersey City Post once. and
would make even a larger ono If it had
cornmodious building. Besides the pubic
needs Of the city and the country demand
4 larger and better Post Once here. It
Is both the duty and the advantage Of the
Government to erect new building, and
there. is no conceivable reason why II
should play pauper in seeking site
However absurd the questions. it Is safis-
factory that Mayor Pagan answered them
IN admirable style. His letter. printed n
fuli,in this paper on Saturday. was an ex-
celient production. 1t gave all the facts
in clear and specific shape: it pointed the
arguments to that degree that they ought
10 pierce the hide even of Congressional
selfsshness and stupidity. We have pleas
ure in complimenting His Honor on this
public service.
II now looks as If there might be a
chance of a new Post ONCE being built.

Ths Herald" of yesterday had an
elaborate discussion Of the future pros
poets of the Republican party from the
point Of view OF it's alliances with cor
perats enterprises. 1t argued that the
election Of John +. Dryden as United
States Senator showed that it was now
dominated by a vast capitalistic combina-
tion, of which the Prudential Insurance
Company and the Equitable Of New York
are the centre, while the traction. gas
and electric companies OF North Jersey
are ramihcations. The Herald thinks
that this may place the Republican party
on the defensive in the near future and
may cause its rejection by the people at
the polls at the next opportunity.
There is. however. nothing new in the
ailiancs of the Republican party with
capitol and monopoly in this State or
anywhere else. The victories which that
party has won for seven consecutive years
IN New Jersey show that the voters are
far from attaching first rate Importance
to the monopoly issue. We should be glad
to see in the present situation any new
hope of the defeat of Repubicanism,
which we think is seriously retarding the
development OF the State; but we certain
ly see nothing in Mr.. Dryden's election to
give Us special encouragement. The
Herald. is still sore because Mr. John
W. Criggs was defeated; but it seems to
us. and we think it will appear to the
voters, that the victory of Dryden over
Griggs was a triumph of decency and
right.
When Mr.. Griggs announced himself as
4 candidate. he inadvertently let slip the
statement that he had not originally in
tended to enter the lists. but certain I'M
6uences had prevailed upon him to do so.
Everybody understood the first part ct
this remark; Mr. Griggs was not wealthy
snouKh to enter the fight and to sacrifice
the time In which he might be earning
moHsy at his profession to the duties Of
the senatorship. But somebody wanted
Mr., 0riggs to get into the Senate. and 90
had given guarantees. which justified Mr..
grisss IN seeking the office. There was
much speculation as to who the sonae-
body was II was whispered that ,. r.
Morgan vas the man and that his Pacific
Railread syndicate was the "innuenc&y

REV. HARE TO co
Announces He Will Resign
Pulpit Of Parmly Mem
orial Church.
BACK TO CAMDEN
Congregations Regret at Los
ing Their Beloved
Pastor.

Rev. j. Madison Hare of Parmly Memo
rial Baptist Church. on Grove street, an
nounced to his congregation last evening
after communion service that he, would
leave them in about two weeks. as he had
decided to accept the call rendered to him
by the people of the Linden Baptist
Church of Camden, N. J. He announced
that he would send notice to the clerk Of
the church, Mr. Walter d. Halsted, at the
next meeting. and that he would not noti-
fy people of his new charge of his action
until he resigned from the pulpit Of Parm-
Ely Memorial.
When asked last evening when he ex-
pected to leave the city, DR.. Hare said:-
de not know just when will go, but
before do leave this city will prepare q
statement for the papers.
The Rev Mr.. Hare has been in charge
Of Parmly Memorial Church since octo-
Der, 1899 and during his stay as pastor
Of that church, the relations between him
and his Aock have been OF the pleasantest
kind, and the members last evening seem
ed much affected when Mr., Hare declared
his intentions OF leaving them.
The church at the present time Is in a
good financial condition. and the member
ship has grown wonderfully during the
three years Mr.. Hare has had charge.
There has been considerable changes made
both TO the interior and exterior of the
church edifce under the guidance of Mr..
Hare, and today it Is one OF the hand
somest churches In the county.
This is In measure due also to the ex-
cellent work performed by the members
OF the church. who have always heartily
co-operated with their pastor. Mr.. Hare
viii more than likely preach his farewell
sermon next Sunday morning.
Before he came to this city Mr.. Hare
was chaplain of the Third Regiment. N

ssThe Night Before Christmas" the
beautiful pastoral play which Messrs.
Burt and Nicolai are this year present.
ing to the American public has proven
to be. by far the best work ever turned
out by the American playwright. 1t is
simple story of homely people. OF the
hearthstone, of christmas-tide OF pratt
Ting little children and Of serene old age.
There is not one impure act or word from
the beginning to the end. This play Is as
beautiful as the poem and as lasting as
the day, and a recent criticism Of this
play by q New York paper puts IT,
"That if there were more plays like THE
Night Before Christmas there would be
no necessity for the cry to purify the
stage" 1t VIII be presented next week at
the Academy of Music with Wednesday
and Saturday matinees at the usual pop
ular prices.
