“ THE CRY IS,
STILL THEY COME."
Now that the Centennial is over the
alleged humorists will have to fall
back on the weather for jokes.
It is a shocking and a dreadful
thing to see a party, which should be
united in bonds of brotherly love,
tom with dissensions. To see 'Wil
liams rending Large, and Large tear
ing Williams, and both strangling
Sewell to death. “Oh, it is terrible, ’»
as Lady Jane says in “Patience.”
Where^are the moral ideas of the Re
publican party just now? Are they
laid away in camphor? Or were they
merely pasteboard images like the
Cigar store Indians, just set up to make
a show?
These questions make us wonder
how the Mugwumps who went back on
Cleveland in the last election feel about
it now. _
A The Charter and the Judges.
ML Now, it appears, there is still another
^Hegal complication over this Charter
/^F'business. The claim is made that the
^faet is unconstitutional which places in
the hands of the Chief Justice the de
termination of the question which set
of city officials—the old or the new—
shall conduct the public business
pending adjudication of the main
question as to the validity of the New
Charter.
The expedient to which the Legis
lature resorted to bridge over a period
of doubt was one of obvious conveni
ence. It commends itself at first sight
to common sense. But it does not on
that account follow that it is legal or
even expedient in a higher sense. The
principles of law are not temporary
things which can be shifted
and shaped to meet temporary
crises. They are for all time,
and a little reflection will show that
the bestowal of this power of designat
ing officials upon the Courts, even for
a momentary purpose, might set up a
new power in our judiciary which in
time and through its extension might
be dangerous to other branches of the
government. A precedent once estab
lished is very easily stretched.
Of course we do not mean to broadly
express the opinion that the proposed
plan is unconstitutional. We respect
fully await tue decision of the Chief
Justice on a very difficult question.
We make these remarks merely in tile
interest of respect for the law, feeling
that many thoughtless persons will |
probably complain should the Court j
decline to make a temporary desig- j
nation.
It will be equally improper for either
side to claim a victory’ on account of
any action the Court may take. Its
refusal to interfere, pendente lite, will
certainly be dictated by far different
considerations from those that will
rule in the decision of the main
question. Equally, in case the
Court instructs the old Boards
to remain in possession it may be
guided by a mere regard for conveni
ence, while should it put the new’
boards in power, a single superficial
acknowledgment of the popular will I
as expressed in the recent vote, may
be the controlling element.
When the question of the constitu
tionality of the whole act conies up,
then these accidental circumstances
will be brushed aside, and the Judges
will go down to fundamental princi
ples in formulating their opinions.
Well, our baseball season has fairly
started, and the boys are playing a
neat ball. It was nothing to win such
games as that with Worcester, or the
first one with Lowell, but it takes
nine pretty steady players, whose con
fidence in one another is not shaken
by adverse conditions, to reach ’way
down into a deep hole and pull out a
game which seems irretrievably gone.
Such a game as that of yesterday is
rarely seen on the diamond. A lead of
nine runs at the opening of the seventl
inning is generally an obstacle so higl
and so wide that no nine is expected tc
surmount it; but the boys are indeec
Gladiators, and only buckle on theil
armor a little more firmly when tliej
look at a little thing like that.
Kallilcrates & Kn.
That was a brutal attack which tht
New York World made last Sunda)
upon the distinguished editors of oui
venerable contemporary, the Evening
Journal. It was most heartless,
and not like our amiable New Y ori
rival, which, it is well known, ii
printed with the milk of human kind
ness instead of printers’ ink.
To allude to such matters of purelj
private concern as the appointment oi
Mr. Benson find Mr. German to pub
lie offices is one of those outrageoui
abuses of the newspaper privilege
which only New York journalists coulc
be guilty of. We are very sure that i
the status quo existed for a thousand
years the Evening Journal woulc
never make the slightest allusion to it
unless perhaps, occasionally, and al
suitable periods it might indulge in s
few remarks in a pleasant strain ol
Besides the World does an impos
sible thing in attempting to account
for the various flops of our venerable
—and only—competitor. That is
something all the politicians in Jersey
City have striven to do in vain. The
truth is, we believe. Major Zebina
Kallikrates Pangborn has occasional
spasms of conscience. In general he
allows the wicked men who work with
him to lead him by the nose through
the slimy ways of republicanism. He
is simple and eonfiding and easily
misled by Benson and the rest
of the boys. But every once
in a while conscience gets hold
of him like an attack of the gout or
convulsions, or cholera infantum, and
then the results are visible to all men
in the flop that the Evening Journal
makes to the democratic side. How
Dear enjoys the circus we do not
know, though we should like to; but
of course all he can do is grin and
bear it.
Meanwhile we wait with eagerness
to see the great reforms that the ex
Re v. Benson will make in the Police
Department, for which the World
thinks his service as a School Director
so eminently fits him.
Cal McCarthy’s friends say that
he was drugged in his light with
Murphy. Why do not the friends oi
the Hon Jim Clarke advance a similar
plea in behalf of the 185 statesman?
General J. Madison Drake was
snubbed by the committee when he
wanted to furnish the President’s es
cort at Elizabeth. Now members of
the Grand Army are threatening him
with vengeance because he presented
a badge to Governor Gordon, oi
Georgia, a rebel general.
The bakers in Chicago have formed
a trust—beg pardon, a compact. They
are going to cut off all discounts and
allowances to middlemen.
Good idea for the public to form a
compact, too. Let them refuse to have
anything whatever to do with middle
men and buy their bread only from
those bakers who run their own ovens.
That is the way to bring the capital
istic trust to time.
The snobby “400” grossly insulted
the Democracy of the nation Tuesday,
in arranging to place R. B. Hayes in
the same coach with ex-Presidenf
Grover Cleveland. _
PERSONALS.
A vast throng collected in front of the Fifth
Avenue Hotel at seven minutes past ten Monday
night to admire Brigadier General William F,
Abbett and Colonel William C. Heppenbeimer, of
Governor Green’s staff, who were starting for the
ball. They were attired in gold laced cocked hats
and gold laced uniforms which commanded much
admiration and awe.
Engineer John Corbitt, of the Weldon Building,
was among the favored ones of Jersey City who
saw yesterday’s parade to advantage. Mr. and
Mrs. Corbitt took things iu generally from the
spacious front windows of No. 345 Fifth avenue,
the residence of Miss Sullivan, Mrs. Corbitt’s
sister.
Ex-Fire Commissioner John Guiton reported
for duty* as driver of Engine No. 6 Tuesday night.
William Brinkerhoff, the Corporation Counsej
of the old Board of Finance, is confined to his
home by a painful illness.
The Rev. Dr. W. H. Parmly, of the First Bap
tist Church, was present at the celebration of the
fiftieth anniversary of Washington's inaugura
tion, held in New' York.
Mr. Phillip Pattberg, the genial president of
the Arion Singing Society, is very popular among
German organizations throughout the city.
It is said that the Rev. G. C. Houghton w ill
spend the summer in Europe.
Postmaster Curran smiles while his wouldbe
successors fight pver who is to have the office.
Ex-Senator Brinkerhoff, w'ho was confined to
his house for a day or tw'o by illness, is able to be
about again.
Colonel P. Farmer Wanser may well ask, w hat
is fame? The Sun recorded him yesterday as
Colonel L. R. Bernard.
Ex-Commissioner Utz is about again after his
accident.
Chief Donovan is being complimented for the
manner in w'hich he kept the crooks out of Ho
boken during the Centennial celebration.
Miss Mary Seymour's Literary Venture.
Miss Mary P. Seymour, sister of ex
Judge R. B. Seymour, of this city,
and one of the busiest stenographers
in New York City, has commenced the
publication of the Business Woman's
Journal. It is issued bi-monthly.
The current number for May and
June is full of seasonable reading.
Lillie Devereux Blake, Sarah E.
Dodge, Elizabeth Townsend and a
number of equally well known writers
are among its contributors. Well exe
cuted portraits of Martha Washington
and Abigail Adams illustrate it.
It is only five or six years since Miss
Seymour started humbly in business
as a typewriter in this city. Now she
has three offices in New York, and
gives employment to a large corps of
typewriters and short hand experts.
She enjoys the distinction, too, of
being the only female Commissioner of
Deeds ever appointed in New Jersey.
THEN WOMEN ARE FREE.
Feminine Enjoyments Which
Are a Feature of
Saturdays.
DELIGHTS OP THE MATINEE.
Miss Moore’s Idea of Inviting the
Audience to Take Tea with Her
on the Stage.
The Editor of the JERSEY CITY
NEWS presents his compliments to the
ladies of Jersey City, and respectfully
invites their co-operation in making
this column a feature of general inter
est and utility. Information and sug
gestions are earnestly solicited, and
assurance is given that all communi
cations soill receive immediate and
careful attention, and will he regarded
as strictly confidential if the writers so
desire. __
Saturday should be called ladies
day now in New York and Jersey City.
In ordinary households there is some
well defined purpose to which each
day is devoted. Monday it is wash
ing day, Tuesday ironing, Wednesday
finishing up. Thursday the women of
the house usually stay in doors, as the
servants take it for an outing. Fri
day is devoted to sweeping and clean
ing, but when it comes Saturday all
the household work is done, and the
women folks may proceed to enjoy
themselves. As a rule, now, they go
to a matinee, often securing good
seats on one Saturday for the follow
ing week's performance. Some"
times the children are made an
excuse, but there is a very small
proportion of children at the theatres
on Saturday afternoons. Among the
matrons, friends very often club to
gether, each paying her own expenses,,
and they enjoy themselves much more
than when they go with men
in the evening. They can express to
each other in an open manner their
admiration of the good looking actors,
while the men are apt to pooh-pooh
any such sentiments. And the men
also always praise up some woman on
the stage who (they have an inward
idea) is easting glances in their direc
tion. This proceeding irritates the
women and detracts from their enjoy
ment. Then the frocks of the actresses
can be criticized by the women when
alone and remembered for future
dressmaking. After the matinee
comes a walk on the crowded thorough
fare and a visit to a confectioner’s,
where ice cream is eaten.
When the girls go they begin to
prink early in the day. After luncheon
they start out with the consciousness
of looking their very best. They
always secure some candy to take
with them, and have their opera
glasses along with them. It takes
them some time to settle in their
places and then comes a great lot of
talk about the actors and actresses
and their parts. Did one of them
know, she is asked, that Mrs. Potter
always puts a little dab of rouge on
her chin because when one flushes
naturally color will always come
there? Or did another happen to hear
that handsome Herbert Kelcey had an
apartment up Broadway and that lots
of girls wrote him letters? Then
when the curtain goes up they are
wonderfully absorbed in the play, and
if the leading man happens to be
their special admiration they feel con
fident that they have caught him gaz
ing at them for a moment. What a
husband he would make!—so hand
some and well dressed, and such man
ners, so different from that John Bar
ron, who comes calling, and is only a
bookkeeper and would let them get a
chair for themselves. They keep
thinking it all over until, at another
matinee, perhaps a week or two later,
they see another Claude or Romeo so
much more impassioned and with a
UCLIUCVUJ OL1 MVOV 11JIVI1 llld
decessor, and immediately fall desper
ately in love with him.
After the matinee they walk and see
what the other maidens have on. If
they haopen to pass Georgia Cayvan,
Grace Henderson, Ada Rehan or any
actress they know by sight, it does
them to talk about for a day or two.
A suggestion was recently made that
it would be a good plan for a young
man before settling on a life partner,
to watch his best girl with other girls
at a matinee when she was unaware of
his presence. Or, as another test, to
introduce her to several actors and
give her flirting proclivities plenty of
scope. Perhaps the third and best
test before joining in the matrimonial
partnership, would be to give the girl
a chance to see the would be watcher
on the front row with a ballet on the
stage, not knowing she was present.
Of course all the girls will carry on
one of these delightful illusionary
flirtations at the matinee, which in
stead of the City of Paris, should be
called the Paradis ties Femmes.
Mary Moore, when she gets into a
New York theatre next season with
Charles Wyndham, proposes to intro
duce a little idea of her own which has
become very popular at the Criterion
Theatre in'London.^ After the play, at
the matinee. Miss Moore invites those
who would like to come on the stage
and have a cup of tea with her to do
so, her notion being that the theatre
is an actor’s home; and the public his
family and friends. The visitors have
a nice social time, just as if they were
in Miss Moore’s house. Among those
who have joined her in her
four o’clock tea recently have
been Lord and Ladv Hatfield, Miss
Neville, Lady Dorothy Neville, the
Earl and Countess of Wharneclifle,
the Duke and Duchess of Abercorn
and Princess Mary of Teck. With all
this prestige there is little doubt that
Miss Moore will have plenty of guests
at her little “at homes.” What a
chance this will be for both matrons
and girls. Whether after next season
they will be sufficiently familiar with
the stage to become completely disil
lusionized, or will transfer their af
fections to the villains and low com
edians, or be more completely stage
struck than ever, is a question that
time alone can answer.
Children’s Snylng».
[Front the Youth's Companion.]
Little Freddie was often sent across
the street on errands to a grocery^
store kept by a Hollander. One day
1 liis mamma wished to send him to
; another store around the corner, kept
by an American. Freddie demurred:
lie feared they could not understand
liis crooked baby talk, and lie had a
morbid dread of ridictfle.
“Oh,” said mamma, “they can surely
understand you, Freddie. You know
when you go across the street they
.understand you easily enough.”
“Yes,” said Freddie, quickly; "hut
they’re Dutch!”
One day a half grown chicken got its
foot caught some way and made a
dreadful fuss about it. Mamma was
away, but Ava remembered to tell her
the story when she came home.
“It hollered and hollered,” said she,
“and pretty soon grandma pulled its
foot out. It sounded just like Aunt
Ella’s canaries, mamma.”
"Oh, no,” laughed mamma, “I guess
not!”
“Well, anyhow,” protested Ava, “It
made the same shaped noise, only lots
bigger, of course!”
Little Helen, three years old, restless
and chattering, heard her aunt one
day singing the old Sunday school
hymn, “Let Us Walk in the Light,”
etc., and said, “If you walk in the
light, auntie, you’ll burn your feet!”
Love Got a Wetting.
[From the Rahway National Democrat.]
A young man living in "Guinea’
had a misunderstanding with his
inamorita last, Saturday morning.
Boon after she, with her mother, had
occasion to leave the house, when he
arose and said he was going to Brick
town to drown himself. As soon as
the young lady returned, and heard
the news she, with her mother and
some small boys, started across lots to
stop the proceedings. While running
through the low grounds she en
countered a wide ditch, and in at
tempting to jump over, landed in the
middle of it. Nothing daunted, she
scrambled out and pursued her way,
plunging and screaming. She at last
arrived at the dock, but all.too late to
save her adorer, for on coming to the
banks of the river what was her
horror to see him she loved, and for
whom she had suffered so much—
wetting—sitting on the dock waiting
for her to come. He had saved him
self by changing his mind. In fact,
upon consideration, he found the
water as yet too wet and cold for
suicidal purpose. Albeit, the young
lady being the wettest, she lost no
time in getting him home again,
where the scene was instant ly changed
—she being wet outside and he inside.
Too Good for Pleasure.
[From Youth's Companion.]
Some people begin very early in life
to hate Aristides, because they are
“tired of hearing him called ‘The
Just.’”
“Why don’t you walk home from
school with Minnie Spring?” a mother
one day asked her little daughter.
“I never see you together.”
“No'm, we’re not together very
much,” said the little girl, demurely.
“You are in the same classes, aren’t
you?”
“Yes'm.”
“And you live in the same street. It
must be that you don’t think her a
nice little girl.”
“Mamma,” burst forth the child,
with a gush of confidence, “she is so
good that sometimes I almost hate
her!”
Ttot a Success.
[From the New York Ledger.]
“My household expenses are getting
terrible high,” said Mr. Homelittel,
down at the club the other night,
“I wish I knew how to curtail them.”
“I’ll give you a pointer,” volun
teered Singleman. “A friend of mine
curtailed household expenses the other
day by kissing the servant girl when
his wife was looking. Next morning
the girl was discharged, and his wife
is now doing the work herself—a sav
ing of four dollars a week.”
Next day Homelittell tried the
recipe, but it was not a success. His
wife hit him with a poker, discharged
the girl, and hired a colored woman,
black as the ace of clubs, and as
homely as a Chinese joss.
Made by Orange L-adles.
[From the Orange Journal.]
A superb new silk embroidered altar
cloth (altar super-frontal) was used for
the first time on Sunday at All Saints’
Church and was much admired. It is
a splendid piece of work that took
nearly twenty ladies more than three
years'to make. It is valued at $4,000,
but twice that sum could not purchase
it from All Saints’ Church. All the
vestments, the cassocks and the eottas
of the choir, etc., that are used in the
church, are the work of the ladies of
the parish, and there are few churches
which have such an excellent supply.

he could, and then he said:—

JOURNALISM AND OFFICE HOLDING.
An Exquisite Piece of Humor, with the
“Majah” as a Hero.
[From the New York World of Sunday.]
The humor is supplied by that re
nowned wit and would be spellbinder,
Major Zebina Kailikrates Pang-bom.
Those who have heard of liis paper,
the Evening Journal, have been led to
believe that therein they would find
republican doctrine, pure, simple and
radical. They have also looked upon
it as a stanch adherent of protection,
and so it is; but the events of the past
week have shown very clearly that the
protection which it practices, what
ever it may preach, is protection of
the Evening Journal. Being a repub
lican paper, it naturally opposed most
strenuously the summary bouncing of
republican office holders up to within
a few days of the recent election. Then
it flopped with such celerity as to
startle its readers. Very few compre
hended the cause of this remarkable
act, but it became plain last week:—
For Police Commissioner—C. H.
Benson.
Mr. Benson was once a butcher,
afterwards a preacher, and is now one
of the editors of the Evening Jour
nal. Once before he sacrificed him
self upon the altar of his country by
accepting from Mr. Cleveland a posi
tion as member of the Board of Edu
cation, and his experience in selecting
school books is said to have fitted him
pre-eminently for a place on Mr,
Feeney’s Police Board. Promises?
No. 'Pledges? Never. And yet
that flop was very amusing. But
hold! What said the Even
ing Journal of Mr. Cleveland’s
appointments? Some it thought, or
said it thought, were good, but others
were bad. The praise was qualified
and the Mayor knew what that meant.
More food for the hungry, more pap
for the Evening Journal. It came
without delay. A Journal man was
elected clerk of the Board of Finance,
and from that day to this Z. Kalli
krates has never spoken of Mayor
Cleveland except in tones of reveren
tial awe. All of which greatly strength
ens the idea of the poet that
A little office now and then
Id relished by the best of men.
Nevertheless, I hope and trust that
Benson and German will draw their
salaries, and further, that Kallikrates
and Dear will permit them to retain
for postage stamps hnd.like luxuries at
least five per cent, thereof.
