JERSEY CITY, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15. 1002.
THE VOICE OF THE LEADER.
Ex-President Cleveland made a useful contribution to the campaign yester
day, through an interview with a reporter of the New York “Evening Post.”
He took the gTound that the tariff was the paramount issue and in this he is un
questionably right, seeing that the tariff question may be said to embody that of
trusts and the whole economic and social situation of the day.
Unlike some weak-kneed Democrats, the ex-President has no hesitation as
to the desirability and the duty of carrying the next House of Representatives.
There are some Democrats who seem to think that the party would be in better
shape for the Presidential election if the Republicans obtained, control of both
Houses of the National Legislature and were thus allowed to work their own
sweet will with the interests of the nation. The theory is that they would go to
such excesses and would create such intolerable conditions in the next two years
that it would be an easy task for the Democracy to tnrn them out of office.
But this is mere partisan politics as distinguished from patriotic policy. If
the Democracy stood for nothing but a desire to win an election and secure and
hold Federal offices, it would have little attraction for the best elements of the
people. But what the Democracy stands for is the good of the country. The
desire of the beat element both in the leadership and in the rank and file of the
party is not for the loaves and fishes; it is to obtain control of the National
government for the good of the people. This is the way Mr. Cleveland looks at
it, and this is the way every Democrat worthy of the name should regard the
coming election.
Our party should be anxious—eager to obtain control of the next House of
Representatives, if for no other reason, because by controlling it the mad career
of Republican profligacy can be stopped. We may not be able to carry out any
programme of our own, but we can stop the extravagances, moral and financial,
which have been the principal feature of legislation ever since the election of
Mr. McKinley in 1896.
From a strictly partisan point of view, the Democracy will have the ad
ditional advantage of being able to give life and strength to new issues, to formu
late a programme of its own and to put it before the people in a stiape that
frill guarantee the earnestness of the party in designing it. Thus, we can pass
through the Heuae of Representatives the bill of Allan L. McDermott placing
upon the free list every commodity, the production of which is controlled by
a monopoly in our own country. We can thrust this measure right in the teeth
ef the Republican Senate and the Republican President. We can defy them to
defeat it and go before the people asking for four years more tenure of office.
We ean pase measures to check the outrages, \>n both sides, of the war now
being raged in the Philippine Islands, and to give our subjects in that exotic
region auch degree of freedom as they are fitted to exercise. We can vindicate
the national honor by passing a law granting reciprocity to the-people of Cuba,
thus showing that, however false-hearted Republican politicians may be, the
people of the United States and their directly chosen representatives are honest
in their pledges and sincere in their friendship to the people whom they have
liberated from the yoke of Spain.
These are only some of the things that the Democracy can do if they obtain
contrel of the Honse of Representatives, and in casting their votes for Congress
men on November 4 next, the voters of Hudson County must bear in mind that
they are fighting the preliminary battle of 1904, and that every vote cast for a
Republican this year is equivalent to half a vote cast for a Republican President.
THE DISPENSARY FAKE.
Dr. McGill applied the scalpel to another of Mayor Fagan’s humbugs yes
terday, when he refused to consent to the payment of the bills presented for the
free dispensary fake.
It may not be generally known, but it is a fact, that the alleged dispensaries
have been closed for some time, the appropriation of $2,500 for their mainten
ance having been exhausted. The money lasted just two months, and, so far as
can be ascertained, the dispensaries have no record except that of having spent
it
The total insincerity of the scheme is shown in the treatment which it has
received from the Board of Finance. That body borrowed $2,500 which was
supposed to carry the dispensaries along from July 1 to the beginning of the
next fiscal year on December 1, a period of just five months—as a matter of
fact the money lasted only a little over two months, the appropriation having
been exhausted about September 1. Yet, all the financiers placed in tlie new tax
levy for the maintenance of the system for the entire year, 1903, was $2,500.
The absurdity of the juggle is thus as plainly shown as figures can show it.
The Board appropriates the same sum for a year that it did for five months, and
that really was only sufficient for two months.
COME NOW, FAIR PLAY.
We find this in the “Evening Journal” of Monday:—
The nomination of Allan L. McDermott for Congress is not at all
liked by the Horseshoe Democrats. Mr. McDermott is plainly not a
popular candidate with them this year. He is characterized bitterly as
a carpet-bagger and the disposition of both old and young Democrats
appears to be very much in favor of his independent rival, James D.
Manning.
Now, let n* be fair about this thing. As far as the carpet bags are con
cerned, honors are easy. It may be true that Mr. McDermott does not live in
the Tenth Congressional District; but it is equally true that Mr. James D. Man
ning does not live in it.
Mr. Manning never has lived in it, and hasn't any intention of moving into
it. On this paint, the two candidates are absolutely on the same plane.
The “Journal” had 'better keep quiet.
MOLINEUX’S INGRATITUDE.
The New York papers of yesterday remarked that Roland B. Molineux looked
wan and thin when he was arraigned for trial for the second time for the mur
der of Mrs. Adams, committed close on to three years ago.
Haw strange that Molineux should look that way! This pampered child of
tlie highest civilization on the face of God's earth; this citizen of a free country,
whose baast is that it has left the tyranny and cruelty of the bid world far be
hind it in the darker pages of history, why should he look wan and thin? Why
shanld not bis flesh be full and firm, his cheek ruddy and liis eye bright? Has
he not far three years been feasting on tlie hospitality of the great State of New
Ycrk, the foremast in the Union? Has he not been housed in the castles of the
State? Has he not fed at its table and has lie not breathed its free and vivid air
ttraugh the bars of his sleeping apartments?
It is nothing bat base ingratitute on the part of Roland B. Molineux to be
wnn and tliiu. The man is evidently deficient in appreciation of the splendid
tilings which his birthright as an American citizen conveys with it.
Let us hang him ns a traitor even if we cannot convict him of commit
iug that murder three long years ago.
—
THE BOUGHT REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.
This is a singular story that is told on Mr. Manning’s own authority, viz:
that he has the promise of the Republican leaders that he will bo “taken care
of" when he lias been beaten by Mr. McDermott for Congress in reward for giv
ing all the trouble in his power to the party which, he says, is his party, at the
coming election.
It certainly places the Republican party in a strange light, that it lias to
bribe men to accept its nominations. Here is Postmaster Wauser considering the
offer of the post of City Collector as the price of his complacency in running for
Sheriff. Mr. Carey has an assurance of succeeding to John Wahl Queen’s sal
ary as Corporation Attorney on January T next, as a consolation for his approach
ing defeat, and now it appears that Mr. Manning also has the assurance of a
consolation cup.
Good Heavens! If Democrats did such mug hunting, what would the “Jour
nal” say?
New York Theatre.
Carl Hagenbeek’s trained animals are
drawing immense audiences to the New
York Theatre. The entertainment gives
entire satisfaction and everyone who
sees it is enthusiastic in praise of this
marvelous exhibition of animal subjuga
tion and intelligence. There is no ques
tion that the animals which make up
the groups are the finest specimens of
their species ever seen in captivity, in
cluding the various kinds of dogs that
appear in the different features. In the
act which presents lions, tigers, leopards,
jaguars, pumas, and other cat animals, ]
three great German boarhouuds appear
iu the cage. They take part in the
performance of some feats, but most
of the time sit on pedestals, quiely
watching the manoeuvres of the other
animals iu this feature. Many people
have wondered why the dogs were there.
They really appear on the stage as po
licemen to protect the trainer in case
or urracK. rjue or tuese uub», uuruig
the rolling of a barrel by a leopard,
shows great impatience and barks con
tinuously. This is explained by the
fact that in Berlin this leopard attacked
his trainer, who was protected by this
great boarhound. The leopard and dog
nearly killed each other, but recovered.
Ever since that time the dog “Moro”
always shows great nervousness during
the leopard’s act. Dogs appear in the
exhibition of other groups, but in this
instance attract especial attention. The
wrestling match between Prof. Dudak
and the great white bear, Muf’e, is very
exciting. This powerful man throws
this 700 pound bear in a Graeco-Roman
wrestling match twice at each perform
ance. At the finale of this act Dudak
feeds these seven great bears 180 pounds
of raw fresh beef from his bare hands.
This is a daring feat never before at
tempted by any animal trainer. The
performance is varied from time to time
by the introduction of new groups. Ev
eryone who delights in the strange and
novel will she much to interest them
among Hagenbeck's trained animals at
the New York Theatre. The prices
range from 25 cents to $1 for every per
formance, except the Wednesday matinee
when 25 to 50 cents are charged.
Third Avenue Theatre.
Two of the original bloodhounds used
in tracking the noted Oregon outlaw,
Harry Tracy, have been secured by Man
ager Percy Williams and will be used in
his big scenic production. “Tracy, the
Outlaw,” to show just how these intelli- i
gent animals are used in the game of
“man hunting.” Tracy’s saddle, bridle,
belt, lariat, pistol and other relies have
been secured and will be used in the
play, not that they add anything to the
production, but because of their value as
curios. “The play is the thing,” as
Shakespeare said when he made heroes j
of those royal murderers, Richard III.
and Macbeth, and so with Tracy, it is
the play that is the real attraction, but
this is enhanced by a most lavish scenic
equipment representing many of the most
prominent points along the line of flight
of Tracy, after his escape from prison.
The company employed is one of the
strongest seen on the American stage in
melodrama and has been filling theatres
at every place played. The interest in
Traey as a romantic character in our
own time was and is widespread and ad
vantage will be taken of this opportun
ity to see interesting points in his career
exploited on the stage. This attraction
will be at the Third Avenue Theatre for
the week beginning Monday matiuee.

GARDEN TRUCK IN CHURCH
Ladies’ Aid Society Has a
Harvest Sale of Pumpkins,
Beets and Fruit.
The Ladies Aid Society of the West
minster Presbyterian Church, Summit
and Magnolia avenues, held a sociable
last evening in the form of a harvest sale
and supper. The admission fee was garden
products. It proved a greater success
than anticipated, as it was the first so
cial given by the society this season.
The fruits aud vegetables received at
the door were placed on ft large table for
sale. The table overflowed with garden
truck, and reminded one of the old time
harvest festivals given in the country by
the farmers. The table was in charge of
Mrs. Garrabrand and Mrs. Robert Black.
Some one brought a basket of precious
black diamonds but no one dared tell
where they were grown. This basket
brought the highest price of any article
on the table. The pumpkins looked like
the kind Shakespeare wrote about of
extraordinary size. Every kind of fruit
and vegetable was piled upon this table.
Some were grown in back yards. Before
the evening was over the stock was sold
out at good prices.
The flower booth was tastefully ar
ranged with small pots of ferns decorated
some in blue, others in pink and others in
purple crepe paper. Mrs. J. Randall
acted as flower girl.
A supper, consisting of corn chowder,
corn, pumpkin and apple pies was
served. The dishes were prepared by
Mrs. Madison Erb and Mrs. John Willis.
It was a strange sight to see the peo
ple leaving the church carrying vegeta
bles. Many thought they had just re
turned from market.

TRADE COOD AT THE FAIR
Young Women at the St. Paul
Lutheran’s Bazaar Booths
Very Successful.
The bazaar and fair of St. Paul's
Lutheran Church, Summit and St. Paul’s
avenues, held in the Avenue House. Five
Corners, this week, had its third success
ful night last evening. The stock of
pretty and useful articles at the various
booths has noticeably diminished.
A few articles were put up at chance
last night. The winners were:—Miss K.
Wohleber, a pillow: Miss Wingeroth, a
shawl; Miss Biunjes, a fancy shawl, and
Mrs. Frobesay, a sofa cushion.
No lack of interest was shown by the
Young People’s Society, who have the
honor of selling the largest number of
chances. The young ladies, with the
books and pencils, which cost you any
where from ten to fifty cents for the
privilege of writing your name, were
very busy and successful.
A number of excellent selections by
the Young Men’s Orchestra interested
the audience. Tonight the Columbia
Singing Society will entertain with solos
and comic songs.
The fair will continue every night this
week.

SOCIETY TOPICS
Club Women Getting Ready
for the State Federation,
October 30 and 31.
MRS. WILLIAMSON TO SPEAK
Will Discuss Child Labor in
New Jersey—Miss Crowen
in Charge of the Decor
ations.
Thus far the Federation arrangerataLs
have got little beyond the women’s heads,
nay, little beyond their tongues, for while
at least live meetings of “arrangements’’
have been held within the past two
weeks, there is as yet nothing ready for
publication—not even the programme.
These meetings are called for three in
the afternoon and the women sometimes
get home in time for supper. Still it
looks as though with a little hurrying at
the last minute everything will be in
readiness and then there will be no end
of hurry, considerable noise and not a
little bustle—without which it would
never be a woman’s show run by women.
Still in the face of everything, it prom
ises to be, if not the greatest show on
earth, at least the greatest woman’s
show in Jersey City.
* * m
Miss Katharine Crowen, chairman of
the Entertainment Committee, appointed
by the Executive Committee of the
Woman’s Club to attend to the entertain
ment of delegates at the Federation,
called a meeting of her assistants at the
home of Dr. M. F. De Hart, club presi
dent, No. 9!) Mercer street. For at least
two hours the committee talked over ar
rangements and laid plans for the accom
modation of at least five hundred guests
at the reception to be given in honor of
the candidates for office on Thursday
night in the parlors of the Bergen Re
formed Church. Arrangements were
also made to accommodate as many more
at luncheon both days of the Federation.
The luncheon will also be served in the
church parlors, a charge of sixty cents
per head being made. Mrs. George Ten
nant and Dr. Florence DeHart are to act
as head ushers, assisted by members
from the Odd Volumes and Woman's
Club, who will in turn be relieved by a
corps from the Athena Club Thursday
morning, the Woman’s Club of Arling
ton and the Primary Teachers Associa
tion on Thursdy afternoon, the Bergen
Point and Bayonne Musical Clubs Fri
day morning, the Open Hand and Moth
ers’ Club on Friday afternoon. Miss A.
Frost will have charge of the eluo
badges, and Mrs. Daniel Van Winkle is
Chairman of Registration. The musical
programme will be under direction of
Mrs. J. Bradjcy Tanner.
_ *
The Music Department opened its
season yesterday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. J. Bradley Tanner, Chairman,
No. 105 Arlington avenue. There was
no programme, it beir.g merely a busi
ness meeting, but Mrs. Garwood Ferris
was there with her Glee Club and some
practice work for the coming Federation
was done. A great part of the musical
.programme for both days will fall on the
shoulders of the Glee Club. Several
pieces were tried, but none definitely de
cided upon. Four new members, Miss
Armstrong. Mrs. George Bennett, Mrs.
Graff and Mrs. Gilmore, were welcomed
into the ranks.
Mrs. Joseph A. Dear, of No. 305 Sum
mit avenue, Chairman of the Reception
Committee for the Federation, has called
a meeting of her assistants this afternoon
at her home to arrange for the Thurs
day evening reception to delegates.
* • .
The programme for the whole Federa
tion is being arranged in Arlington, Mrs.
Kinston, of the Woman’s Club there, be
ing chairman of the programme commit
tee. As this is what is known as the bi
yearly Federation, the time when a new
corps of officers must be elected, the con
vention will run two days, that time, ac
cording to the constitution, being neces
sary whenever an election is on the car
pet. The convention will be formally
opened at ten o’clock Thursday morning,
the first session being devoted to greet
ings, routine business, the reading of re
ports and the president’s annual address.
Greetings will be given by the Rev. Cor
nelius Brett, pastor of the Bergen Re
formed Church, and Dr, M. F. DeHart,
president of the Woman’s Club, and
probably Mayor Fagan to give the wo
men the “poor” freedom of the city. Re
sponse will, of course, be made by Mrs.
Johanna Hartshorne, president of the
Federation, who will later make her last
annual address, as her term expires with
this meeting. Thursday afternoon will
be devoted to a social programme, when
Mrs. E. E. Williamson will address the
meeting on “Child Labor in New Jersey.”
Mrs. J. W. B. Cushing ,of East Orange,
president of the Legal Aid Association,
will also speak on this subject.
The election of officers will come Fri
day morning when either Miss Mary Mc
Keen of Camden, the South Jersey can
didate, or Mrs. A. O. Field, of East
Orange, the Newark women's candidate,
will be made president. On Friday after
noon the speaker will probably be Dr.
Charlton Lewis, of the State Charities
Aid, who will talk on Juvenile Courts.
There will be an especial programme
for Thursday evening witli a speaker of
prominence and music in the church, fol
lowed by a reception in the church par
lors. Decorations for all occasions are
in charge of Miss Katharine Crowen and
will consist of pink bunting, palms,
ferns and ribbons, arranged with that ar
tistic beauty for which Miss Crowen
alone is noted.
