PRICE THREE CENTS WE RISE TO EXPLAIN!! WHY IT WAS THAWE OMITTED AN IMPORTANT OF NEWS. And Deprecating thi-'oo Exacting Criti cism of Our Cen\iuo8 Neigtitoor—We Define OurPosi0 on the Tariff Ques tion—Reassure f Gazette as to the Intentions of t Repnblican Senate and Further Eghteu .Our Neighbor on other Matfi of Public Concern. Our amiable arltigbly respected con temporary, castin about for some topic on which to sc< a point against ns, inquires why iti that this journal has thus far failed make mention of the Bepnblican Tar bill now hatching in committee. If it is the inttion of our neighbor to take ufl to task >r neglecting to record an important i*» of news, we acknow ledge, with sondegree o f mortification, that the charge not wholly unfounded, since, so far ase know, no mention has yet been made a these columns of the bill referred to We trust, hfever, that our neighbor will not be difseed to bear down too se verely on usor this sin in journalism. We ackncledge the importance of publishing nffi, and we endeavor in our imperfect ws to live up to this standard of good jouTilism. However, such omis sions as the ae of which our neighbor complains offill sometimes occur, even in the best died o f journals. The task of getting 0 A daily newspaper is not a holiday affi, and in the hurry and rush incedental aereto important news will escape tiie o s t observing and vigilant of editors. Tf GaseOe is indeed fortunate and to be tvied, if it can truthfully say that it haaever been o f guilty o f similar omissions. But, onie other hand, if the Oasette intends tcnsimiate that political motives influence's in excluding this important item of >ws from our columns, we can inform fit censorious journal that it is mistakei-wide off the mark. Its lan guage Wild seem to bear that construc tion, foit inquires whether we scent free trade inhis forthcoming bill. We ejertain not the slightest appre- hensiochat the Republican members of the connittee are engaged in the discred itable tsiness of devising a tariff bill hos tile in its provisions to our protective system. The Gazette is altogether prema ture in ssuming that such is the purport of thisbill. As yet its contents are a matter if profound secrecy to all, save membei of the committee who are charged With th duty of reporting such a bill for the conideration of the Senate. They, and th^ alone, know its contents, and on the auhority of the Gazette itself are pledge not to divulge them. They have not ye reported the bill to the Senate, and nw, then, can the Gazette presume to insiuate thatthi Republican Senate is engagd in devising a free trade measure or aninti-protective measure ? To criti cise abill before its contents are known is assurdly iff advised and premature. As or ourselves, we feel not the slight est aixiety as to the purport of this bill. We eel perfectly-certain that any bill em- anatng from a Republican Senate will conain nothing which savors of free trade or calculated to impair the protective syeem. The Gazette, if indeed it takes thit position, will have the unique dis- timtion of being the first to discover and pmlicly announce that the Republican paty is not loyal to the protective sys- ten. Furthermore, we can tell our con- tenporary that i f a Republican committee shiuld so far forget its duty as to intro- dtce an anti-protection measure, the bill itielf would be speedily rejected by a Re- pablican Senate, and its authors doomed to political extinction at tHe hands of out- tiged constituents. As to the future action of the UNieN which the Gazette says it means to watch with so much interest, we can tell the Ga zette where it will find us every time. We shall be found at all times uphold ing and maintaining the protective sys- Ho matter what a Republican senate 'may do, the U nion will be true to its principles through thick and thin, and it will be the first to denounce any Republi can senator or representative who, while remaining within the party lines is dis loyal to the distinctive principle of Repub licanism, viz., protection to American in dustries. W e shall criticise freely and unsparingly any measure hostile to protec- tion,no matter from what source it comes, but this is not saying that we shall oppose tariff revision, provided it is made in the proper spirit, so as not to affect its protec tive features. The Mills b ill is framed in utter disre gard. of the protective system, and is therefore a free trade measure. The Gazette inquires whether we shall continue to cry out “Free Trade!” and “ Pauper Labor!\ and we reply, yes! m long as the Democratic parly jContinue to advocate measures hostile to protection, we shall not hesitate to call them what they really are in principle, free traders. We shall denounce all such measures as free trade measures, and those who support them as free traders. Surely the distinction between the re spective attitudes of the Republican and Democratic parties on this question is plain. The Gazette certainly ought to know that it is a free trade journal, for did it not declare in a recent issue that it denied the constitutionality of protective legislation? The Gazette may,if it chooses, quibble about words, but it is its avowed hostility to protective legislation, which we condemn, and to us it is a matter of not the slightest consequence by what name people of this political persuasion choose to call themselves. We reprobate the thing by whatever name it is called. Protection vs. free trade will be dig- enssed by Col. Clark E. Carr of Illinois and Hon. Samuel Morris of Troy, N. P., at the Rink, this Tillage, Wednesday evening. THAT INFANT CITY. Middletown Gently Reminded of its Sliort Comings. The new list o f subf cribers to the Hud son River Telephone Co., issued Sept. 1st, has reached this office. The list is issued in book form and con tains about 125 pages. The lines seem to radiate from Albany and reach in all di rections from that city, extending up to Vermont and Massachusettes in one and to this village in another direction. Port Jervis being the most southwesterly point reached on their lines. Middletown has sixty connections at the central office and Port Jervis seventy- six from which it appp'jis th it in the mat ter of adopting and using the latest inven tions o f science we considerably surpass our would-be metropolitan neighbor, Mid dletown. And this is not by any means the only T^pect in which we go ahead of that as piring little hamlet. In fact, Middletown, trying to be a city, reminds us of the small boy trying to wear his fathers hat, smoke his fathers cigars and generally aping the tricks of his elders.

A. very enjoyable time was had yester day at Jones Lake by the members of the Brotherhoods of Locomotive engineers and firemen and their friends. This is the second excursion of these organizations which have been held at that resort this season and those who attended speak very highly of the lake as a suitable resort for such excursions. “ It beats Shohola Glen all to smash” observed one of the excur sionists to a U nion reporter upon the ar rival of the excursion train at this village last night. The excursion party was comixised of six carloads of our people and the affair was a social and financial success throughout. The party left this village about 8.45 a. m, and arrived at the lake about 10.30. Dancing was indulged in until about 12 30 when the lunch baskets were pro duced and the wants of the inner man at tended to. After dinner the excursionists whiled away the hours in divers pastimes such as rambling through the woods or dancing in the spacious pavilion near the lake. About fifty row boats for the use of the excursionists were strewn along the shore of the lake and a pleasure barge capable of carrying about 35 persons was towed about the lake by a small tugboat afford ing the excursionists a great deal of pleas- One noticeable feature of the day was that no intoxicating drinks were sold on or about the ground. The excellent music furnished by the Emmett band and or chestra was also the subject of a good deal of comment by the excursionists. Rettnrning the train arrived here about 8 o’clock and those present say they never had a more enjoyable trip. The first ball of the season was held at the opera house, last night, by the Port Jervis Turn Yerein. A good crowd was in attendance, and a very enjoyable time was had. In addition to the usual attractions a sword drill was given by six members of the organization. The turners did some good fencing and were loudly applauded. After the sword drill Mr, P. H. Nolan, on behalf of Mr. N. Pflaum, president of the Turn Verein, in a very neat speech pre sented Port Jervis Hose Co. No. 4, with an old relic in the shape of a Drass nozzle, which was used some 25 years ago on the old hose cart “ Sam Fowler.” The gift was accepted by Wilton Ben- net, esq., a member of Port Jervis nose company, on behalf of that organization. Mr. Beunet made a brief but telling speech, in which he alluded to Mr. Nolan as “ the young Demosthenes of the Dem ocracy;” and hoped “ the day was not far distant when he would rank among the orators of the day.” Referring to the Turn Verein, he said : they are a praise worthy organization, and if there were more of them in a community, there would be less doc tors,” (but that he did not know how it would effect lawyers) He finished bis speech by thanking Mr. Plaum on behalf of Port Jervis Hose Co. After the speeches dancing was again in order and was kept up ’til early morning hours. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. A Son of Floyd Goble Falls and Receives a Severe Scalp Wound. Eddie Goble, a young son of contractor Floyd Goble of Orange street, met with a serious accident at the Mountain House yestc-rday morning. About half past eleven o’clock while his class, with others, were in line ready for dismissal, he being in a hurry asked to I be excused. The teacher granted the re- , quest, and he started to run down the back stairs. When about three steps from the top he tripped and fell. In his de scent he grablM hold of the railing, and swinging himself around fell backward to the ground striking the back of his head on a stone, inflicting a severe scalp wound. Sapt. Dolph who happened to be near at the time, ran and picked him up. He was taken to his hom^ and Dr. VanEtten summoned, He found the hoy suffering from a severe attack of concussion of the brain and applied the usual remedies. This morning he was resting as comfort ably as could be expected under the cir cumstances, and the doctor thinks his recovery is assured, although he may be laid up for some time.

We learn that the doc tor has operated upon forty-eight similar cases within a few months. MIXED PICKLES ON MONDAY. “ Mixed Pickles,” which is to be played at the Opera House on Monday evening, is a very funny one. The play is not as mixed as the title indicates. The story is a most laughable one, and is easily fol lowed. Except between the acts it defies either the dyspeptic or the cynic to retain a rigid countenance. J. B. Folk is the main-spring of action, and a more versa tile humorist could scarcely be conceived. He rivets the attention of the audience and holds its interest to the end, which marks Mm a humorist of gemus. The pe culiar combination of characters which go to make the cast is well chosen. Each part is well filled, especially Hiram Brown, inclined to be fast. Deacon Jordan, in clined to be mean, and Lucinda Sniggins, inclined to be married. Those who want to laugh and enjoy themselves will receive an evening’s pleasure in witnessing Mixed Pickles on Monday next* A GRAND AUTUMNAL EXCURSION. At this time of the year an excurion to New York and the sea shore is one tlmt will be greatly appreciated by the people of this vicinity. Now that their summer duties are ended, a little recreation in the way of a cheap excursion, will be hailed by them with great delight. The Erie have arranged a grand three days’ autum nal excursion to New York and the sea shore at extremely low rates. A special train has been arranged for this occasion, leaving Port Jervis at 10.32 a. m., Satur day, October 6tb, arriving in New York at 1,25 p. m. Returning the special train will leave New York at 6. p. m., October 8th, arriving at this place at an early hour in the evening. The rate has been placed at the remarkably low rate of $2 from Port Jervis. Tickets will be good for re turn passage on any regular train Sunday or Monday, up to the special train Mon day, Oct. 8th. This will be the last excur sion to New York this season, and should be well attended from here. PLEASE EXPLAIN.

The Coremon.v Comes Off in the Masonic Rooms—Dr. VanEtten Makes the Pre sentation Speech and Mrs. Holt Re sponds—The Guests are Fm-tlier En tertained toy an Original Poem. A highly interesting affair came off last night in the Masonic rooms under the auspices of our local chapter of the Order of Eastern Star, a kindred organization composed o f the wives and daughters and sisters of Masons who alone are eligible to membership. Mrs. Wainwright Holt has, for some years, been the matron of the local chapter and her conduct of its affairs has been so highly satisfactory, not only to the mem bers of the home chapter but to the order in general as to inspire the members of the order with a desire to make some fitting acknowledgement of the high esteem and honor in which members of the Eastern Star hold their matron. This took the form of a presentation, and the ceremony occurred last night in their large and commodious rooms on the third floor of the Farnum Block. The present selected by the ladies was a beautiful standard rocking chair, and the presentation speech was made by Dr. Sol. Van Btten, and while we did not have the pleasure of listening to his address (outsiders, of course, not being admitted to the inner mysteries), we have every reason to believe, from hLs reputation as asocial orator of superior ability, and from the testimony of those who heard him, that he acquitted himself with the grace and aptitude for which he is famous on such occasions. Mrs. Holt, although taken by surprise, and not pre pared to make a speech, responded with much grace, propriety and feeling. After the presentation ceremony was over and everybody had congratulated Mrs. Holt on her successful effort, Mrs. Johnson of New York city, a very distin guished member of this order, a Past Matron and Past Grand officer, entertained the assembled guests by going through the beautiful ritual of initiation, explaining its workings. Mrs. Johnson also, at the request of the company, recited some beautiful verses of her own composition. The lines, which we h.ive read, prove her to be a poet of more than ordinary merit, and we keenly regret that the pressure of matter on our columns does not permit of our publishing them. We understand that the honor of sug gesting this deserved testimonial to Mrs. Holt belongs to Mrs. JoTinson. She sug gested it in the first instance and the so ciety eagerly adopted the idea and carried it out. A U nion reporter was present in the ante-room while the ceremony was going on and after it was finished, was kindly admitted to the big interior room, which the Masons and Eastern Star conjointly use for their ceremonials. It was ablaze with light and beautified by numerous representations of the Eastern star the well known symbol of the order. Our information as to what took place during the ceremonial of presentation is of course second hand but it is derived from those who were present and is there fore substantially correct.

At the primary elections held in t^is village last evening, the love feast the Democratic ward workers have been boasting of for some time, failed to ma terialize and a typical Democratic move was the result. The supposed arrangement whereby Dr. Thad. Mead was to have the delegates for Sheriff, was carried out in part, but in the DoctoPs own district, the third, del- ;ates antagonistic to the Doctor were Who they are for, or why they made the fight against the Doctor we are unable to say, but that they should favor some one from out of town at the expense of a fel low townsman is thought to be queer. One would think by the scramble made last evening that they had some hopes of electing their ticket, but hopes are some times illusive and this time they are doubly so. —^There are 11 men only in the United States that arc supposed to know the text of the Senate Tariff Bill, and those eleven constitute the financial committee of the Senate o f the United States.

By the way, will the Gazette, who has such unusual facilities for getting such news, please give ns its opinion of the bill? THE LATE MRS. ANDERSON. The late Elizabeth R. Anderson, whose death was chronicled in yesterday’s U nion , was the wife of John W. Anderson of this village.

Smith of Hurleyville, Geo. W. Anderson of New York city, Carrie B., Clement B., and Charles W., all residing in this vil lage, and Mrs. Olive M., wife of George W. Thomas of Paterson, N. J. Mrs. O. M. LaBaume of Hurleyville is a sister of the deceased, and Mr. Abram C. Taggert a brother. Mrs. Anderson died from the effects of a stroke of paralysis. She was widely known in this community and highly esteemed, and a large circle of rel atives and Mends will mourn her loss. She was a consistent and devoted member of the M. E. church. THE SENSITIVE GAZETTE. The Gazette dislikes the epithet of free trader, which we apply to it and to all who support the Mills bill. Allusions to its free trade proclivities irritate and an noy our sensitive contemporary. But the truth must be told at all hazards, and the truth is (we say it with pain and regret) that the Gazette is a free trade journal of the most confirmed type. —Leading chemists, housewives, me chanics and laborers all pronounce Tulip soap the best they ever used.

We erroneously Stated in our obituary notice of the late Judge Thomas J. Ridg- way, published last night, that Mrs. M. D. Graham and Mrs. Cecelia Tinsman of this village were children instead of being sisters of the deceased. We also neglected to mention among the list of sisters the name of Mrs. Eliza Griswold, who was formerly a resident of this place but now resides in Griswold, Kansas, a village named in honor of the Griswold family. We gladly avail ourselves of the oppor tunity to make these corrections. WORTH 50,000 VOTES. The United Labor party, at its State Convention in Cooper Union last week, endorsed Warner Miller for Governor, for tbe reason that he is pledged to electoral reform. It then nominated John H. Blaks- ley of Broome, for Lieutenant-Governor and Lawrence J. McParlin of Niagara,for the Court of Appeals. The United Labor party last fall cast 70,055 votes for its candidate for Secretary of State. The action of the convention is worth at least 50,000 votes for Miller. SECURE YOUR SEATS.
