M’DEMOTT I JERSEY CITT, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1902. MR. MANNING’S CANDIDACY. The “Evening Journal” announces with authority that Mr. James Manning is to be the candidate on the Republican ticket against Mr. Allan L. McDermott in the Tenth Congressional District. It starts in to beslobber him with praise in this capacity and predicts the hustling campaign that he will make. We might stop to comment here upon the proof which this announcement by the “Journal” affords of the cut and dried character of Republican nom inations; but it is not worth while. The fact is only too well known. But we desire to direct attention to the peculiar position in which Mr. Man ning and the Republican party will mutually stand. Mr. Manning is a Demo crat; at least he claims to be one. In the pust, he has even been an extreme Democrat. He has gone to every length that “regularity” could demand. He therefore stands for everything that Republicans pretend to hold in abhorrence. He has for years exerted his lungs in denouncing everything and everybody that Republicans respect. Republicans have denounced the ideas which he advocates as anarchy and treachery to the American flag. If he should be elected and should take his seat in Congress, Mr. Manning would be forced either to betray the people who elected him by voting on the Democratic side, or he would have to stultify the record of his lif| by voting with the Republicans. Which would he do? Why is Mr. Manning willing to accept a Republican nomination? - Can he j da such a thing from honorable and public spirited motives? Can there be any reason for his-course save the meanest of personal greed? * Why are the Republicans willing to nominate him? It cannot be for any service they expect to get out of him in Congress. No, it is because they will do “anything to beat McDermott.” They believ^ that Mr. Manning has a large personal following and that he may carry the district on the strength thereof, whereas nobody else—assuredly no real Republican—would have* the ghost of a chance. They are anxious to beat Mr. McDermott at any cost because he is a power at Washington. His brilliant forays in the present House have spread dismay in the ranks of Republicanism, and there is no length to which they will not go to beat him. The situation is equally discreditable to both parties to the unholy bargain. Manning, the tool, the catspaw of the Republican leaders, selling the principles of his life for a Congressman’s salary is a bad spectacle. The Republicans buy ing the treachery of a man, whose opinions they detest, stand before the people as the very impersonation of political corruption. THE C. O. P. AND THE COAL STRIKE. President Roosevelt comes very badlv out of the exchange of letters with President Mitchell of the Mine Workers’ Union. Mitchell punctures the Presi dent’s fake with unsparing hand. He simply says that as the President has not the power to do what he assumes to promise, his offer is not worthy of consid eration, aud the miners cannot be expected to see in it any inducement to re turn to work. The cruelty of this snub lies in its justice. Mr. Roosevelt never had any right to interfere in this imbroglio, because he never had the vestige of power to influence either side. His trite arguments for peace are no doubt hourly in the minds of both parties to the quarrel. He advanced no new proposition, except the vague one of a Commission, in the dim future, which itself was to have no real power. Indeed so empty of value was his intervention, that it almost seems like impertinence. It was assuredly an insult to the intelligence of the American people since it was a bid for their support based on absolutely hol fow pretence. The whole attitude of the Republican “leaders” towards the strike is both foolish and offensive. The powwows held by that trio of scalawags, Platt, Quay and Penrose, are calculated to fill every honest man with disgust. That they should venture to interfere in a great public question of this kind on the ground that the interests of their party are in danger is ns impudent an act as ever was perpetrated by any public man in the country. It does not matter which side is in the right, the proposition that it should give up its rights to save the G. O. P. from defeat at the polls reads like an argument emanating from Bedlam. The strange thing is that Platt and Quay do not see the light in which they place themselves and their party before the public. If they have influence by which they can bring the strike to a close, why have they waited until now to exert it? Why have they let the Operators lose their profits and the miners their wagers? Why have they allowed business to suffer loss and the poor to under go want aud privation, if by exerting themselves they could end the struggle? Are we to understand that they had the power to end this misery all along but never thought it worth while to make an effort until their own interests were in danger? Truly, these be great leaders for the “Party of Moral Ideas.” A STRONG TICKET. It is rumored that ex-County Director Frank McNally will get a majority of votes at the Democratic primaries for nomination for the new office of County Supervisor. He is likely to be associated with John Zeller as nominee for Sher iff; Allan L. McDermott and Allan Benny as Congressional nominees and Ferdi nand Heintze and John J. Sullivan for members of the Street and Water Board in Jersey City. This will make a very strong ticket. It will appeal with peculiar strength to the Democratic sections of the country, and if we get their vote, we need not care about the Republican regions. Mr. Benny is strong in Bayonne. Mr. Heintze has a great following on the Hill and in the northern part of the city. McNally and Sullivan own everything downtown and in tfce “Horseshoe,” while Zeller will carry Hoboken and North Hudson in a rush. Mr. McDermott is strong everywhere that intellect, oratorical skill, personal integrity and sterling Democratic loyalty are respected. The Republicans can put up no such ticket as this. Their slate shifts from day to day, and it is made up mainly of renegades and makeshifts. With Mr. James Manning and “Bob” Carey running for Congress and the Lord knows who for all the other offices, they cannot arouse cordial support even in their own wards. Around the corner from every polling place there lurks an ex-Republiean, armed with a stiletto or a sandbag for one or another of the candidates. The old party workers, turned down for “converts” from Democracy are sulking in t their tents. Victims of the Ring are sharpening their tomahawks for the Boss's candidates. The fight will be between earnestness and unity on the Democratic side and discord and insincerity in the Republican ranks. The Democratic plurality in the County will be at least 6,000 votes. THE NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY ACT. One of the gems of Republican National legislation is supposed to be the Bankruptcy Act. It was passed as a .sort of pendant to the Diugley turiff, and the party lenders have always claimed great credit for It. Yesterday the Ninth Annual Convention of New York State Bankers, sit ting in New York, took up the consideration of resolutions denouncing the meas ure and demanding its repeal. The resolutions will probably pflss. The feeling is that the law has been amply tested, and has proven worse than a failure. The position of the bankers is that the law, or rather the system which it creates, induces extravagant living and reckless speculation, encourages fraud and dishonesty, and impairs the credit of honest men of small capital. It is also claimed that in its enforcement and administration, the assets of the debtor are made comparatively worthless and the dividends of the creditors, if anything at all, are mode so small as to be scarcely worth consideration. Here again we have Republican "efficiency” reduced to its lowest terms. CUT AND DRIED. The Republican primaries were such obvious farces on Thursday evening that practically no one went near them except the returning officers. Elaborate tickets were printed, but nobody derived any benefit except the printer, and the selections of the bosses, whose names were selected in advance and put in cold type regardless of the supposititious voters. The whole affair was a proof of the power of Colonel Sam, and the easy and noiseless way in which the job was put through shows that the Boss has im proved his old time methods. There were no unseemly scraps whatever. In the two or three places where signs of trouble appeared, the opposition was bought off. BEEF AND POLITICS, It is easy to tell how near election day is getting. Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural Department gave out the news yesterday that the price of beef is about to fall and that it will be selling at the' old prices by Christmas time. This is good news, if true. Our only fear is that the good Secretary is seeing the prospects through the eyes of the Republican Campaign Committee^ To other observers, excuses abundant for dear meat are visible, nnd so long ns excuses hold out and the tariff lasts, prices are not likely to make much of a drop. One of Mr. Wilson’s arguments is as rich as a nice juicy steak. He says that prices have already fallen a cent a pound in the West, but “they are maintained in the East largely because customers have got into the habit of paying them.” We are certainly stunned to learn that we are our own victims in the matter of paying too much for our food. We sincerely wish the rule would work the other way and that prices would stay low “because customers have got into the habit of paying them.” AMUSEMENTS. Bijou Theatre. Plavs that horses are used in, as a rule, are always .successful, especially when they are not dragged in by the "inane and tail.” as is so often done with them in nlavs of the present day. The horses that will be seen in tlie'p.oduc for the proper interpretation of tiie West ern border hero. Mr. Farrell is the pos sessor of a fine face, a good figure, a splendid voice and a manly bearing, all of which will serve well in the characters he assumes. The staging of both plays will be on a most elaborate scale, all of the neces sary costumes and properties being en tirely new, and the many novel and inter esting effects that will be introduced add much interest to both productions. While m* croMN <J. FAFRr> ' t.ion of “The Ben-lit King” and “The Cattle King.” which ill be given at the Biion Theatre next week, are all actors, and so imnortiftit are they to the produc tion of the play that should anything liannen to them in the way of injury or sickness, it would Tie impossible to do either of the plays without them. These two successful melodramas are owned bv Mr. .Tames IT. Wallick, one of the most successful nctor-mnnagers in this country, and while Mr. Wallick will not be seen in them this season, he has se cured the services of Mr. John J. Farrell, a voung romantic actor whom nature has fitted with all the necessary qualifications there may be some aimn"rily In the titles of these plays, they have not the slight est semblance ni plot or action. There is nothing of the blood curdling element so common in the ordinary melodramas in either of them; in fact nothing that could possibly mar the feelings of the most sensitive natures. For the first half of the week, including the Wednesday moti ve. “The Bandit King” will be give*. The latter portion of the week will be de voted to “The Cattle King.” The mati nees should be very interesting to both ladies and children. The pretty romantic stories that are told in both plays should interest the ladies, and it goes without saying that the performances of the horses will more than please the little ones. Academy of Music. i In “The Fatal Wedding,” which comes to the Academy of Music for a week's engagement, commencing Monday eve ning, the theatre-goers of this city will got something out of the ordinary run of comedy-dramas. The piece which has just finished a successful run in New York city, proved its drawing power by playing to crowded houses during its en of real happenings in the great city are vividly shown and truthfully portrayed. The main incident of the piece is the clever interpretation of a child part by little Cora Quinton. So niueh responsi bility has been attached to this particu lar character that the management have found it necessary to carry an extra child artist, baby ICiefe to relieve little Cora on various nights. I gngcment In tho Metrorol's. The plot of the piece is entirely different from anything heretofore seen, and serves to introduce a well-laid story full of heart interest and pathos and one that appeals strongly to the feminine sex. Yet there is sufficient comedy thrown in to keep the audience in on interested frame of The scenic effects are truly wonderful and marvellous, depicting reproductions of some of the famous scenes in and around Gotham. Notably among these aro shown a counterfeiter’s den, located on the banks of th - Hudson river; an other scene shows the famous Palisades storm effect is produced, during the time Peculiar To Itself In what it is and what it does—con taining the best blood-purifying, alterative and tonic substances and effecting the most radical and per manent cures of all humors and all eruptions, relieving weak, tired, languid feelings, and building up the whole system—is true only of Hood's Sarsaparilla No other medicine acts like it; no other medicine has done so much real, substantial good, np other medicine has restored health and strength at so little cost. "I was troubled with scrofula and came near losing my eyesight. For four moncha I could not see to do anything. After taking two bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla I could see to walk, and when I had taken eight bottles I could see as well as ever.” Susie A. Hairs ton, Withers, N. C. Hood’s Sarsaparilla promises to cure and keeps the promise. it is shown. This is one of the most realistic scenes ever attempted. The fa mous Grace Church, New York city, is presented in a truthful manner, besides several others of an equally strong na ture. An unusually strong cast has been secured to present the play, and it is a foregone conclusion that crowded houses will greet it during its stay in this city. Bon Ton Theatre. Commencing at the matinee next Mon dy, Adelaide Herrmann, “The Queen of Magic,” and her company of fun mak ers, will present a bill that promises to be the best of the season. Mrs. Herr mann will then make her re-appearance in this country after a summer’s engage ment in Europe. %. During the first coronation festitivites in London, which were brought to a sud den close by the illness of the king, she was engaged at the Hippodrome, one of the largest amusemnt resorts in the world. After closing there she pre sented her act at the Folies Bergere, Paris, and the Winter Garden, Berlin. Since her last appearance here and while in Europe, she has secured several novel ties that she has placed in her act, mak ing it one of the real offerings in vaude ville: special scenery and appointments for “A Night in Japan,” including elab orate costumes, are promised. During the lifetime of her distinguished husband, Herrmann the Great, Mrs, Herrmann was the originator of nearly all of the most difficult illusions and mystifying tricks that made him famous, and since his death she has carried out for her own use the work that she was so successful in, until she has become the leading feature of the vaudeville stage. In addition, there will be presented one of tiie very latest European acts, Win schermanu’s performing bears. This act has created a furore wherever it has been seen; consists of three magnificent specimens of beardom, and in addition a number of comical monkeys and dogs, making it one of the cleverest acts of its kind. Dan Williams & Co. will be seen In their screaming Irish comedy, “Back to Back.” Mr. Williams is well and favor ably known as one of the leading Irish comedians and has successfully starred in several of the plays made famous by Barry and Fay. Miss Sophie Burnham, lately prima donna of the Castle Square Opera Co., will be heard in the latest musical pro ductions. She has a voice of great power and is a very handsome young woman. The Fitzgibbon-McCoy Trio in their comedy, “The Mischievous Brother,” one of the wildly humorous skits of the vaudeville stage. The Three Keatons, including “Bus ter,” the midget comedian, and the man with the table, will present a capital grotesque nrcrobatic specialty that will create considerable merriment. Loney Haskell, “that rascal,” will be heard in a new monologue and a seces sion of new parodies. Rastas and Banks a pair of comical coons, will sing, dance, tell funny stories and in every way contribute to the geu , «ral bill. All in all, it promises to be one of the best bills that has been seen here this season. Matinees will be given daily. _a_ C3MMERCIAL B, & L. RECEIPTS Large receipts were reported at Thursday’s meeting of the Commercial B. and L. Association, $2,250 being taken in. __ IT IS TO LAU8H.

SUFFRAGE IN SCHOOL MAHERS Special Meeting of Education Department Arranged for Thursday—Men’s Golf Championship. After nesl week the Woman’s Club will have settled down to its season of regular work with its three to four de partment meetings per week, and all the members will have had their greeting handshake, which always comes with the first few meetings after the summer va cation. On Monday afternoon the Philan thropy Department will open its season at two o’clock at the residence of Mrs. B. K. Curtis. No. 61 Sun>mit avenue. The session will be devoted to making plans for the winter’s work. There will be no social programme this year, as when this system of reading papers was tried a year ago those on the programme for the day after failed to come to time. Besides, this is the only department in the whole club without addresses and papers from meeting to meeting and it comes as a sort of relief. Sewing will occupy each meeting and the Day Nurs ery, City Hospital, Home of the Home less and other institutions will benefit thereby. The Day Nursery, however, is the department’s especial pet and it may, before the season ends, give a charity euchre for the babies. On Tuesday, October 14, the Music Department will open its season with a business meeting at the home of Mrs. J. Bradley Tanner, No. 105 Arlington avenue, when the work for the year will be planned. The department will meet from house to house every second Tues day and will study music in all its phases. A most Interesting programme has been planned for the winter. . * . On Thursday the Education Depart ment, of which Miss A. B. Myers is chairman, will hold a special meeting at the home of Mrs. J. H. Pratt, No. 22 Virginia avenue, when woman’s suffrage in its relation to the school law will be discussed. Two Brooklyn women, promi nent in the School Board of that city, will make addresses. . * . The Odd Volumes are running meet ings at tlie rate of one per week instead of one every two weeks, in order to catch up with their season. The opening meet ing, though booked for a social, was a business meeting and that was one week later than the scheduled time* so two extra meetings have to be squeezed in before the club can settle down to regular work op “The Topics of the Times.” In consequence of this an extra meeting will be held on Wednesday next at the home of Mrs. Charles Carrick, No. 246 Academy street, when the year’s pro gramme will be formally opened and when the club hopes to have it’s year books or calendars ready for distribu tion. . » . Probably no clergyman’s wife in the city is more prominent in the wort of her husband’s church than Mrs. John L. Seudder. All the women’s societies of the church and a few of the men and women’s are run under her personal su pervision, and as she is an ideal club woman, a good organizer and a fine par liamentarian, everything is conducted on a harmonious basis. Last week Mrs. Seudder opened her Ladies’ Aid Society, and this week the Missionary Society held its opening under her direction. The subject was “China.” Mrs. Sarah Lewis described the Chinese Pagoda and told of the longing of the missionaries to hear Christian worship bells instead of those summoning the community to the heathen gods. Mrs. F. H. Hall gave accounts of the women converts and their struggle to give up foot binding. Miss Aice Taylor read a letter from a returned missionary to Peking, showing the changes since the day she departed in the time of the Boxer massacres. Miss Mulcox told of despeusary work. Miss Nettie Stout of religious services, and Mrs. Seudder read a story of a woman who could not give much money but who stirred up rich women to pay for Bible renders. A duet was sung by Mrs. Isaac Forshay and Mrs. Fred Hig gins, Mr. Forshay accompanying. ^ _ The King’s Daughters of the First Congregational Qhurch held their open ing meeting oft Wednesday last at the home of Mrs. Isaac Forshsy, of Union street. Mrs. Seudder presides over this. • * • Mr. Frederick Jeanne, a well known member of the Palma Club who former ly resided in Winfield avenne, Green ville, has returned to Londou, where he represents A. H. Smith & Co., diamond dealers in New York. . • • Mr. Alfred Edward Vultec, a promi nent member of the Palma Club nnd for many years a resident of this city, will be married on Thursday evening next at the Church of the Incarnation of Phil adelphia to Miss Gertrude Dawrenee Graham, daughter of Mrs. Emma Esther Graham, of Philadelphia. . * . The opening reception of Mr. Harry Bulger's Select - Dancing Class will be held Thursday evening, October 10, at Lafayette Battery Hall, Whiten street near Johnston avenue. Dancing will be gin at 8:30. • * • Mrs. Walter Hartman Boyd, of Brooklyn, nee Miss Clerihew of this city, was reported out of danger this morning. If You Build provide for future as well as present.
