Jhit paper it Democratic «» principle i, independent in itt tie*t on all loca fuettoina __ Tk* Mayer's P«‘ 0»« w”"1 One of the moat amaalng instances of official idiocy that has become public in years is the action of David H. Mercer, Chairman of the Committee on Public Buildings of the House of Representa tives, in writing to Mayor Fagan on the Post Office question. The Mayor telling a Federal official what the population of Jersey City is, with the Census Office only a few block* from the Capitol and it* Information at the command of every Congressman is certainly an exhibition of circumlocution to make the gods stare. A similar criticism is applicable to the questions bearing on the industry and wealth of the city and the needs of the Post Office and the Internal Revenue De partment. Why Mr. Mercer did not get this information from the proper Federal official, it is hard t» imagine. The application to the Mayor for Infor mation touching the value of sites is in a different category. It is rational and business like. The question, as to whether the city or citlsens would donate a site is, however, an absurdity of the first water. Why should the city or cltisens present the Government with a site? The Government make* a vast profit annually out of the Jersey City Post Office, and would make even a larger one if it had a commodious building. Besides the public needs of the city and the country demand a larger and better Post Office here. It Is both the duty and the advantage of the Government to erect a new building, and there is no conceivable reason why it should play pauper in seeking a site. However absurd tbs questions, it is satis factory that Mayor Fagan answered them in admirable style. His letter, printed in full In this paper on Saturday, was an ex cellent production. It gave aU the facts in clear and specific shape: it pointed the arguments to that degree, that they ought to pierce the hide even of Congressional selfishness and stupidity. We have pleas ure in complimenting His Honor on this public service. It now looks as if there might be a chance of a new Post Office being built. Republicans mad Corfontton. The "Herald” of yesterday bad an elaborate discussion of the future pros pects of the Republican party from th? point of view of its alliances with cor porate enterprises. It argued that the •lection of John P. Dryden «» 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, white the traction, gas and electric companies of North Jersey are ramifications. 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 alliance of the Republican party with capital 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 tha present situation any new hope of the defeat of Republicanism, which we think is seriously retarding the development of the State; but we certain ly sea nothing in Mr. Dryden’s election to give us special encouragement. The “Herald” is still sore because Mr. John W. Griggs was defeated: but It seems to us. and we think it will appear to the voters, that the victory of Dryden over Origgs was a triumph of decency and right. When Mr. Griggs announced himself as * candidate, he Inadvertently let slip the statement that he had not originally in tend! 1 to enter the I lets, but certain In fluences had prevailed upon him to do so. , Everybody understood the first part of this remark; Mr. Griggs was not Wealthy enough to enter the fight and to sacrifice the time In which he might be earning mosey at his profession to the duties of the Senatorship. But somebody wanted Ur. Griggs to get into the Senate, and to had given guarantees, which justified Mr. Griggs (n seeking the office. There was much speculation as to who the some body was. . It was whispered that 3. P. Morgan was the man end that hit Pacific Rail read syndicate was the “Influence" »f which Mr. Griggs spoke. The rumor eaa renewed with much added strength A*n flutter Piynn took charge «t t**- j _—~ Griggs's campaign—with a whole bar'l at his command, It was aald. But the con firmation came when Mr. Griggs, after the fight was over, bobbed up serenely as counsel for Morgan and allies In de fence of the famous merger. Then In deed it was plain that this great com bination of capital had sought to put lt» attorney ..into the United States Senate to represent It there for purposes which It is extremely easy to Imagine. Under the circumstances, It would appear that It would be ah uphill job to make any great political capital out of the election cf Mr. Dryden. The Proposed Primary Low* It is perfectly plain that the Primary bill now pending In the Legislature ought not to pass In Its present shape. The question of party affiliation Is one which is bound to create difficulty; but assured ly no worse solution of it could be found than a law which would completely bar the independent element from taking any part in the control of the machinery of slther party. There is much to be said In favor of holding the primaries under control of the State. No doubt the people should have a free opportunity of registering their wishes in the selection of party can didates and party officials. But when the State gets to the point of deciding who may claim allegiance to this or that parry, It goes far beyond its functions and It in troduces an element more destructive than iny evil which It cures. In a word, as the present bill is drafted, it copper fastens machine rule on the necks of the people. It makes party' regeneration hopeless and impossible. The most that the State should under take is to see to it that no man voted at the primary of more than one party at pne election. This will operate sufficient ly to prevent corrupt combination, for it a. of course, practically impossible that any considerable number of members of either party will abandon their votes on their own side for the purpose of aiding In some underhand work in the other. It is more than likely that the new system when adopted will have little average effect on results. The choice of the party leaders wiU ninety-nine times out of a hundred control the primary vote, for few men will go to the trouble and expense of fighting the machine and thus bringing its enmity upon his head. The, only appreciable effect, probably, will be a little more care on the part of the machine in making its case so as to avert the one per cent, chance of oppo sition and defeat. AMUSEMENTS. Bijou Theatre. William H. West Big Minstrel Jubilee will be at the Bijou this week. The com pany organised for this season’s tour by Its late proprietor, Mr. West, has gener ally been spoken of as the greatest achievement in minstrel organisation ever accomplished by Mr. West. From a musical standpoint It is particularly in viting. the programme offering a reper toire of new songs, suqg exclusively by the vocalists of this company. The list of comedians comprises Billy Van, John King, F. H.» Hammond, professionally known as McMahon, of the team of Mc Mahon and King, and N. S. Carr. The vocalists heard with this organisa tion this year comprise such splendid singers as Clement Stewart and Hariy Sylvester and Georgie Jones. Assisted by a splendid orchestra and chorus, the mu sical numbers of the programme will doubtless furnish an evening of rare en joyment of musical lovers. In the pleo will be seen the Rio brothers, McMahoii and King, BIWy Van and Carr, McDonald and, Parshley. The oleo fea tures are brought to a close with a very amusing and at the same time sensational bicycle act by the Zeb and Zarrow trio, entitled Zig-Zag Alley. Ataitay of Music. “The 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. It is a simple story of homely people, of the hearthstone, of Christmas-tide of prat tling 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 a 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.” It will be presented next week at the Academy of Music with Wednesday and Saturday matinees at the usual pop ular prices.

HIRE TO GO Announces He Will Resign Pulpit of Parmly Mem orial Church. BACK TO CAMDEN Congregation’s 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 hex would leave them in about two weeks, as he had decided to accept the call tendered 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 hext meeting, and that he would not noti fy people of his new charge of his action until he resigned from the pulpit of Parm ly Memorial. When asked last evening when he ex pected to leave the city, Dr. Hare said:— ‘•I do not know Just when I will go, but before I do leave this city I will prepare a statement for the papers.” The Rev. Mr. Hare has been in charge of Parmly Memorial Church since Octo ber, 1690, and during his stay as pastor of that church, the relations between him and his flock hare been of the pleasantest kind, and the members last evening seem ed much afTected when Mr. Hare declared his Intentions of leaving them. The chureh at the present time Is In a good flnancial 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 edifice under the guidance of Mr. Hare, and today it is one of the hand somest churches in the county. This is in a 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 will 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. G. N. J. DOING GOOD First Presbyterian Church Helping to Ereot a Hos pital in China. One of the churches most prominent in foreign mission work is the First Presby terian Church on Emory street, this city. It spends annually hundreds—sometimes thousands—of dollars in this work, and is supporting several stations in foreign lands. Among these is the Chinese mis sion of Yeung Kong, where. Dr. Herr's church is assisting to erect an hospital, and the board of foreign missions desire that this church should indicate the title by which the hospital may be known. The session of the church suggests that It be called the Forman Memorial Hospital, in memory of Doctor Samuel R. Forman, late elder.. It is proposed that a tablet be erected In the building with a suitable in scription, and the funds necessary for this have been promised. The contribu tors to the hospital fund are invited to meet after prayer meeting on Wednesday night, March 5. Since the last report, *13.81 has been added to the hospital fund, which now amounts to *303.90, leaving a balance of *90.14 to complete the necessary sum. An effort will be made to raise this by the end of March so that the Board may be enabled to appropriate the funds neces sary to complete the hospital building. Last week the Herr Bible Class collected *11.81. The following is an extract from a let ter from the Rev. W. H. Dobson, the Ypung Kong Missionary, to the Rev. Dr. Herr of this city, under date of January 8. 1902:— "This building of houses in China is no pastime. It is a multitude of small an noyances and deceptions coupled with all the minor details of explaining a foreign method of architecture to uneducated na tive country masons. At times I had to ] lay the brick for them. "I am glad to say that we expect to be gin on the hospital at once, if the rains do not come too early. It vfill be Impos sible to build both sections with tpy amount of cash on hand. Our estimates were made two years ago, and since tnen all things .have Increased ip price about twenty per cent. However, for a begin ning I think it. will do. At least tee. building of this portion will take all of my time until next fall. The wall and ground will take a considerable sum of money. "It you should select a name for the hospital I would be glad to know of it so that I might have suitable letter heads and envelopes printed. By the way. per haps some one in Jersey City would db glad to do this for me. Home printing is so much nicer than that done out here. We need typewriter paper of about th's ; weight ana size, and thin foreign corro- j spondenoe envelopes so that the writing does not show through, these to be some what cheaper apd larger in order to con tain several sheets at once. We also rie^d cheap envelopes and memo, nads for local use. All these properly headed with the name you propose to give to the hos oltal.” ORGAN RECITAL To Bo Hold In diarah Thai A public organ r the First Presbytei First PrasItytarU* ■nitr Erasing. rgan recital will be given in resbyterlan Church on Thurs day evening.

Hood’s 8arsaparlila promises to cure and keeps the promise. BATTLESHIP NEW JERSEY State Will Present to the Vessel a Magnificent Sliver Service. [Special to “The Jersey City News."l TRENTON, March 3, 1902.—The State of New Jersey is considering its obligation to the United States Navy and particularly its gift to the ^battleship New Jersey, which is now being constructed at Fall River, Mass. The former Governor Fos ter M. Voorhees appointed a special com mission to consider what would be the proper gift of the State to her namesake, the ftrst-class battleship New Jersey. The commissioners took into their confi dence Captain Charles Sigsbee, who com manded the battleship Maine when it was destroyed in the harbor of Havana and which Indirectly led to the war between the United States and Spain. He gave the special committee the benefit of his expe rience and agreed that nothing was so ac ceptable as a gift as a silver dinner ser vice, because the United States Govern ment made no allowances to its officers for special entertainments. The availa bility of a silver service set is always a great boon to the officers and even the men on a warship. The silver service set, as designed, con sists of one central movable piece, which consists of punch bowl and decorative piece combined, which has for its prin cipal decoration the seal of the State in the centre and the seal of East and West Jersey*, as companion escutcheons. On its base will be the inscription which tells the story of the generosity of the people of New Jersey, ornamented with a Colonial seal. This magnificent piece alone will carry 450 ounces of stiver. The other pieces in the set will be a candelabra, with eight een lights; a small punch- bowl, having a capacity of fourteen pints; two entree dishes; four double vegetable dishes: three meat dishes of various sizes, the smallest sixteen inches; one fish dish, twenty-six inches; four compotiers; four bonbon dishes; six pepper and salts, with spoons; asparagus dish and server; salad bowl, spoon and fork; tea set, five pieces; kettle for hot milk; waiter, twenty-six inches; eight small vases; two serving trays and grape scissors. STEEL FOR THE NEW JERSEY Immense Plates Cast for One of the Strongest Ships in the World. ■BOSTON, March 3, 1902.—The great stem plate for the battleship New Jersey, which is building at the Fore River Ship Yard, Quincy, has Just been cast. It contains 36 tons of steel and had to be left in the mold several days before it was cool enough to be uncovered. The casting, large as it Is, is not the whole of the stem, but will serve as a foundation to which the keel, the hull plates and the upper part of the stem will be fastened. Just bow the New Jersey's steel floor plates are being fashioned, and punches, shears, rolls and joggling machines, all operated by electricity, are kept at work on them continually, while the frames for the battleship—which is to be one of the largest and most powerful vessels in the navies of the world—are being bent on a great inon scrive board. There are 3,509 tons, or more, of material for the New Jersey on hand at Fore River now, and as quickly as each individual piece i3 fin ished it Is carefully marked and set aside in its proper place, ready for immediate use when the construction of the ship has reached the point where It is required.

END OF COLONELS New Military Law Abolishes the Gorgeously Clad Personal Staff. [Special to “The Jersey City News.’’] TRENTON, March 3, 1902.—It is general ly believed that Governor Murphy will on Tuesday next announce his staff, and there is a movement on fooot among the friends of Colonel Robert M. Thompson to have him renamed as the personal aide to the Governor, to which he was ap pointed by Governor Voorhees. Under the new military law there can be no more gilt-lace colonels. The new act was par ticularly constructed to keep down the promiscuous creation of all kinds of colonels, either from civil life or brevet. The National Guard of New Jersey was getting top heavy with very ordinary men 1 with extraordinary high military titles. The selection of men from civil life to be. aides-de-camp to the Governor, an honor which carried with it about ?400 of elegant military toggery and the title of colonel, was making colonels as thick in j New Jersey as they are in Kentucky. | There was a demand for a change, and it j is a question now whether the State mili- j tary authorities are not going to the other extreme. The Governor has only the choice of one personal aide from civil life, and then he does not become colonel. He is a ma jor. The other five aides-de-camp must be selected from the commissioned offi cers, and they must not be allowed the rank of colonel, either a major, captain or lieutenant. They get commissioned as aides-de-camp, and that commission adds no additional rank, but carries with it only the grade of the officers as named in his original commission. They are not permanently with the Governor, and are consequently not relieved from duty with their respective organizations, except when actually on duty as aides-de-camp under the orders of the commander-in chief. The Governor is not without colonels, but he has less generals on his staff, be cause the Inspector General, Inspector General of Rifle Practice. Judge Advocate General, Quartermaster and Surgeon Gen eral are not generals. These titles are misleading. The new law reduced the rank from what the office carries to that of colonel. Quartermaster General Don nelly, although he is a major general, his rank, so far as the office carries rank, makes him colonel. His Successor, unless he have a previous heavier rank, will oply be a colonel. Those on the military staff of the Governor now secured their title of brigadier genera! previous to the en actment of the new military law. but their successors will only be colonels. The change that is most noticeable Is the law that controls the Governor’s staff. It was Governor Voorhees's idea of a quiet and democratic administration to get rid of as much fuss and feathers as possible. It is a question whether it will suit all of his successors. Many names have been suggested to Governor Mur phy for a place on his personal staff, none of them being familiar with the rigid and exclusive law that controls the conditions. Even if he was disposed to please a few of his personal friends to whom he leans kindly, he could not do so beeausee of the law. Colonel Robert M. Thompson, who is a graduate of Annapolis, and prominent in army and navy circles, has many friends who would like to see him retained as the solitary personal aide. He could be continued with the rank of colonel, be cause the law provides that a reappoint ment carries with it its previous rank, so that Colonel Thompson would not be reduced. There is to be some change in the mili tary law before the adjournment of the Legislature. It will, however, only touch one phase_ of the law, particularly that which dea'ls with the courts of inquiry and courts martial, delinquency courts for enlisted men and the powers of the judge advocate general. The changes were suggested by the State Military Board, and the bill is now being drafted. The changes that are to be made will be favorable to the men who come before courts martial.
