TO SOLVE LIQUOR PROBLEM

Special to ''The Jersey City News')
TRENTON, Feb. 26, 19O6.-Since the
clergy of all denominations are demand
ing legislation which will place greater
restrictions on the saloon men and the
latter have combined to fight such legis-
lation. Senator Minturn made an inter
esting suggestion to-day which. he be-
heves. if adopted. will cause satisfac-
tory solution of the differences which
now exist between them.
"The clergy claims that the present
liquor laws are not rigid enough and
should be amended, while the saloon in
terests claim that the laws which they
propose are too drastic" said Senator
Minturn. "With such a diversity of
view, how is the Legislature going to de-
eide the matter satisfactorily to both
sides? Why put it up to the Legislature
to take sides when the matter can prob
ably be settled to the satisfaction of both
the clergy and liquor men if little dip
lomacy and common sense are exercised.
'The clergy have made certain demads
to meet certain existing evils. and the
saloon men, while not conceding all their
demands, acknowledge that the present
liquor law is lacking in some respects.
If such is the situation, my idea of the
matter is that the clergy and saloon men
should appoint committees to confer with
a view of ascertaining whether they
could not amicably agree upon an amend
ment to the present law to meet the ex-
isting conditions.
st is my opinion" added the Senator,
'sthat if such conference were held the
clergy and liquor men could agree upon
a measure that would be satisfactory to
both sides and which would remedy the
existing evils. With the clergy pulling
on one end of the rope and the liquor
men with equal strength drawing the
other, how can the Legislature decide
the differences between them satisfactor-
ily to both sides?"

CHURCH, IN
LEGISLATION
Rev. Madison Hare Dis
cnsses the Right Of the
Clergy to Influence Morals
By Law
SERMON TO LIQUOR DEALERS
ALL IN THE CITY WE'RE INVITED
BUT FEW ATTENDED THE SER
VICE OR HEARD THEIR BUsI-
NESS DENOUNCED.

The Rev. James Madison Hare, pas
tor of the Parmley Memorial Church,
last night delivered sssmon on the top
ic. s'Should the Church of Christ Interest
Itself ia Legislation Touching Moralst'
He had attended the recent meeting of
the local Liquor Dealers Association at
Elks' Hall. 1t salso said that he had
invited the members of the Liquor Deal
ers' Association to attend his church
Sunday night and listen to a sermon on
the aforementioned topic. There may
have been some saloon keepers in the au-
dience, but the writer was unable TO de-
tect any of them. +.
Minister Hare put in some very nice
words for the character of the average
saloon keepers. He said he had once
been an Excise Commissioner ard in this
way had been brought into contact with
very many men engaged in the liquor
traffic who believed their business hav-
ing been legalized by the government,
was legitimate, and that they were mere
" pursuing their ayocation as other
living. Mr.. Hare said he really believed
this, but then he went on to attack the
business in which these men were en-
gagged in. It was almost like putting
statue on pedestal and then kicking the
pedestal from beneath the statue.
The principal theme of the Rev.
Hare's discourse was as to whether the
ministers of Christ's gospel had the right
to deal with legislation. His pulpit was
draped with the stars and stripes and in
his discourse he frequently alluded to it
as matter of gesticulation. He called
attention to the fact that the great Kos
suth, on his visit to the United Staes
afer studying the condition Of this Re-
public, said that if it fails it will be be-
cause of men who are looking after their
own selfish ends.
The minister asked if the legislative
power was vested in the people After
discussing the question he declared it
wasn't but that it was vested in political
bosses. But on the other hand. he de-
clared that the business men of the COM
munity are so busy accommodating" that
they have turned over the affairs of the
community to the political bosses.
Mr.. Hart discussed the argument that
the saloon keepers are building by their
license fees churches and schools, but
said "God pity the church or schools
reared upon such conditions" He said
he believed that every piece of church
property should be taxed to its utmost
value. the same as other property, so
that there can be no possible union be
tween church and state.

eight years ago. The Civil War, through
the growth Of the pension list, is costing
the country about the same now as it

There are 64s,0O0 survivors of the

drawing pensions aggregating $100.5o0,-
600 year. and 2G1 ,21O widows, children,
nurses, etc, from that war. receiving up
wards of $32,000,000 year in pensions
The total pension cost of the Civil War
last year was over Sf33, ,O0O 900, paid out
to T45,S1S pensioners.
From the Spanish War we had Sill
survivors drawing $2,5O0,OO0 in pensions
last year. and 4,7s0 widows and children
drawing $3.50, GEO. These figures, seven
years after the beginning of that war,
indicate what its pension possibilities
may be in the next one. or two decades.
Some Of these possibilities were point
ed out the other day in the House, when
the annual pension appropriation bill was
up, by Congressman Gardaer, of Massa-
chusetts, who is an authority on the sub
ject
''The Spanish War" said Mr.. Gard
ner, furnished total of 312,O00 enlist
ments. To-day there are more pension
ers on the rolls from the Spanish War
soldiers than the maximum number of
men in Shafter's army in Cuba. During
the war there were killed and died of
wounds received in action a total of 69S
officers and enlisted men. The entire
number killed and wounded was 3,457,
and the deaths from all causes were
6,610, or a small fraction over two per
cent. of the enlistment. The deaths and
casualties of every sort and kind of both
soldiers and enlisted men footed up a to-
tai of 1878. or three per cent. of the en-
rollment
s'F'rom the army there have already
been filed with the bureau 69,687 applica-
tions for pensions In corresponding
length of time after the war for the pres
eryation of the Union, the Federal sol
diers numbering 2.213,365, furnished but
102, ,4O6 applications. Had they applied
at the same rate as the soldiers in the
war with Spain, there number would
have been 100000"
Mr.. Gardner predicts that in the. year
1889 there will still be sixty Civil War
pensioners on the roll. He bases his pre-
dictions on the averages OF age and in
crease and decrease shown by the pension
rolls of the wars of the Revolution, the
Mexican War and the War of 1872. On
the same basis he calculates, granting the
same degree of longevity, that the num-
Der Of Civil War pensioners remaining in
1924 will be BAG, 1862, and that the num-
Der of Spanish War pensioners in that
year will have increased to 132,414. In
1881, he asserts, there will be half a mil
lion pensioners still on the rolls, even If
there are no more wars before that time.

ty-fye years old. of No. 81 Seventh

Thomas Weir. who gave New York
address, is said to have been a Jersey
City man. who surprised his men by Civ
ing New York address. That could
not be authenticated this morning. All

Union are on strike on building being
constructed by McCord & Post in Twen-

The detectives discovered the three men,
according to the tip given the police, and
me of them carried satchel The trio
went down to the end of the street and
seass e dock buried the satchel in a sand
pile. The detectives were watching. Sub
sequedtly they dug the satchel up. It
contained a ten pound stick of dynamite
with a fifteen-yard dynamite fuse, the
exact layout that had been abstracted
from beneath the coat of one of the al
legged Jersey City men. who. according to
the New York police, were trying to
reach the scene of the building upon
which the strike is on through the en-
trance of building block away.
On one side OF the building in course
of construction, which the alleged fends
attempted to blow up. is located a lodg-
ing house that accommodates three hum

the other side by six-story factory.
