By K<U»r ?**• SCltoo. Jr. All was bolse t nfl eouf uaion at the pier of tho Manhattan Line Steam ora. The last of the baujiMSe for up State points was being loaded. Above all the din was heard the ci ashore theta going ashore, gang wars were hauled In; the U*..were cast off and the first throb of the great engines of the palatial ••Saratoga'' was felt ss Ihe steamer slowlr moved out Into the crowded Hudson. Hverrwhere tugs, ferrrboats and excursion craft could be seen. On the Jersey aide the great piers of the Trans-Atlantic lines are In view. The Hamburg American Line, at one of the Docks the groat Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grouse, and the "Amcrlka" can be seen on the New York side can be seen the great Railroad Terminals at Twenty-third

SOME POLITICAL COMMENT

C. R. Bacon, the Philadelphia Record’s Jersey editor taye: "At first glance It would seem that reform bad been given a solar plexus blow In New Jersey. The resull of thJ nrlmary elections throughout the lidlr te a desire the part of the pvjjji.tf to .or.c Sssex county, the front and oe

, the Central Rail-

road of New Jersey, the Brie - 1 road and thhe Lackawana. all ei Great double decked ferry boats lying at the slips with crowds of commuters on their way homeward. Just north of Forty-second street, on the Jersey side. Stevens Castle can be seen. As the steamers pass the Sailors and Soldiers Monument the great’electrical search light turned on and we get a gUmpse of the beautiful homes of well to do New Workers. Just below One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street. Grants Tomb Is seen. The nations tribute' to one of the greatest generals modern times. On the Jersey shore, the Palisades loom up. and stretch away in the distance for seventeen miles and more. A solid wall of rock. We are reminded of the awful and' sublime power whose hand has cut.' the rock as straight and even “In places as a - nousewlfe would cut a loaf of bread for the evening meal. Lights are now seen glimmering from a thousand and one windows of the great up-town apartment-fcouses-Sopn we paaa the Spuyten DuyvaL which marks the end of Manhattan Island. Here the Harlem River Joins the majestic Hudson. The search light is no*- turned on the Jersey shore. There can be seen the great docks and repair shops of the Iron Steamboat Company, one of the greatest excursion companies In the world; owning over twenty large and palatial steamers. The N^w York shore is dotted with homes of well-known New Yorkers, whose lawns stretch away to the very water's edge of the river, whose wi cannot be compared on the American

continent.

Wi are now approaching the City of Yonkers, whose population hers over eighty thousand. Yonkers Is 'one of the largest towns Hudson, Opposite Yonkers, the Palisades rise to their highest and here and there can be road winding down to the water's edg and yon wonder how people climb roadways like these. Hastings, a busy manufacturing town is Just above Yonkers; - and then Dobb's Perry Is passed while the great steamer is wending her way toward Irvington. We go down to the dining room for dinner. The dining room la so arranged that not a bit of the beautifu) scenery is lost to view. Irvington, the home of the Immortal Irving, The genius of Irving has done much to endear the Hudson Valley to ‘‘I thank God I was born on 1 banks.” he wrote, "and I fancy can trace much of what is good my heterogenous compound to early companionship with this glorious river. J admire its frank, bold, honest character, Its coble sincerity and perfect truth.” Here was no sp clous dangerous sand bar or perfidions rock, a stream deep as it was broad bearing with honorable faith the bank that trusted to'Its waves.

has stood for all that decent and good and clean In poUti and government, the party mach! •cored a triumptf that must be farreaching and lasting In it* effects. Of course, former Senator Colby adO hie conscientious lieutenants declare their purpose to keep on In the fight, relax nothing of the effort that augnred so well. But the set back last through the coming sessioi the Legislature, filling the Mac leaders with self-confidence, ner them to renewed activity and u lag their efforts for the control of the State government. "No one with any conception at all of the political conditions existent In .New Jersey can fall to recognise the fact that the Republican leaders whom Governor Port so bitterly arraigned in his ante-primary speech have been rehabilitated. It may be bat temporary, of course. K may be the last desperate struggle of an e plring cause; the last flare of flickering Game, but for the present, and for at least another year, the Machine must be regarded as the pot jnt power, temporarily Impregnable by grace of the people's voles—and

"One thing that was definitely ted by *he primaries was the vote of the proposition tc extend the Dirxi Primary law to the nominations e. candidates for Governor and Congressman, another of the ideas hich the Governor labored, but In. tils Instance in vain. That measure gave some promise of causing a deal of speculation as to theRepublican indldate for Governor next year and cist a* good deal of doubt upon the future of such Congressman as Card-
