The women in Norway, while driving
their pigs to market on a very hot day,
will protect them with umbrallas. In that
country the whip, 10 driving, is only an
ornament, and bearing reins are unknown.
Ohio has gone Democratic It was a
victory for rum. Had the Republican
party boldly identified itself with the tenn
perance movement, it would have swept
the State. But the old political leaders
of the party are trimmers, and while try
ing to carry lager beer on one shoulder
and water on the other they were tripped
up. Let the warning be needed in time,
and let the old leaders everywhere step
down and out and give place to new blood.

The Elizabeth organ of Democracy
wishes it understood that its party is not
arrayed against rum. 1t says, +" Senator
Pendleton, of Ohio, ought to have more
brains. He is foolish enough to say that
the Democrats of Ohio are not in favor Of
a free Sunday and free whiskey.' It
was just such CAB that dug John 7.
Dunn's grave. Now, that is an honest
declaration. Let the parties thus boldly
take sides on the =" free whiskey ques-

Ir Won't SAVE HIM.-Thos Rays, a
Newton lawyer, is to make a few speeches
to the Democracy of this district to keep
afioat the sinking River and Harbor
Harris craft. Perhaps he will explain
what influences were brought 10 bear on
him at the Newton Convention to induce
him to support Harris But it will take
more than the speeches of Thos. Rays to
cram Henry s. Harris down tue threats
of the Disguised Democracy of this dis
tiict. Verify they are terribly frightened.
Never before in the history of this dis
trict was it necessary to resort to such
extremes to save a member on his second
term PhSttipsbarg Democrat.
Hazing at Lafayette College is not likely
to be attempted again while the present
generation of students lasts The faculty
has acted promptly, wisely and most
creditably in dealing with the nsubordi-
nation. Five sophomorcs have gone the
way that all hazers ought TO 90, and more
are thought to be doomed. If hazing
were always met with the same rigorous
methods, frolicsome students would be
glad 10 seek some other sport. Life is
too short and learning to difficult to be
numbered by such odious tomfoolery as
amused callow youth in days when boys
/ had time to be boys and delayed too long
/ on the way between youth and manhood.

The River and Harbor bill has made
great eommotion in nominating conven-
tions in Massachusetts, but not less so
than the question of Civil Service Reform
which has become leading issue in the
State. Candidates not to be depended
upon to push Civil Service Reform are to
be "scratched !" the coming season. A
nominating convention in Boston passed
the following
Res0IUed, That we invite all voters in
the Fifth District to oppose at the polls
any candidate whose record shows that he
is not in favor of the reforms of the Civil
/ Service demanded by the Republican Con-
vention at Worcester. The methods of
reform in Massachusetts, are appointment
and promotion for merit, and a specified
term of office and dismissal only for cause.
Although Mr. Benz +. Howey, the Re
publican candidate for Congress in the
Fourth district, has always been friend
i of temperance and Christian gentleman,
and Mr.. Harris, the Democratic candi-
date, is a well-known friend of the rum
interest, few temperance eranks arc urg
/ ing the nomination of Prohibition cau-
didate. AT a large meeting in Phillips
burg on Sunday one of these crauks abused
/ Mr.. Howey without stint, advising the
temperance people not to be "gulled into
supporting him, but having not II word
to say about Harris. OF course the nomi-
divert votes from Howey, and would
prove valuable auxiliary to the Demo-
/ cratic cause, and we have no doubt at all
i that the movement is fostered by profess.
cd temperance Democrats Republican
/ temperance men are often thus lured into
/ opposing their party, while their Demo-
cratic tempters invariably vote their own
ticket.--State Gazette.
A striking instance of the occasional
i profit of unselfishness, has lately come to
light in the case of Lieutenant Willard
/ Young, son of the late Mormon leader.
He is a teacher of engineering at West
/ Point, and when the litigation commenced
in regard to the distribution of his fathers
estate his agents wrote him to know what
they should do in regard to his interests.
i He replied that he did not want to take
part in any uuseemly wfangle over the
accumulations of his dead father that he
was able to get his living by his profession,
and that they could send him what the
others didn't want. In reply he received
a lot of railroad stock supposed to be
nearly worthless, which he accepted with
out grumbing The later development
4 of the Territory has unexpectedly adj
vanced the value of his stock so that he
is now one of the richest of his fathers
! heirs. 1t is needless to say that the sell
/ fish brothers and sisters who supposed
that they were making q good thing out
of his apparent greenness and good nature,
are disposed to kick themselves for their
foolishness
THE FOURTH DISTRICT REPUBLICANS.
The Newark advertiser, in its report of
the proceedings of the Fourth Congress-
ional District Republicans, says: The
Convention was composed of Republicans
who would honor any constituency. They
numbered 1856 and among them | did not
see enc whose face did not show intelli-
gence, earnestness and honesty. That is
saying good deal, but the counties of
Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon and Somerset
are good deal above the average, if their
people do, from habit. elect the Demo
cratic ticket usually. This year is not
usual, though, in politics at least, aud
we hope that one of its unusual features
will be the election Of Capt. Benjamin +.
Howey, who was nominated here to-
day on the first ballot. y. =" Capt.
Howey is popular with all classes for his
sterling worth, for his honesty for his
kindliness aud for his undoubted abilities.
He will make thorough canvass of his
district, and will be elected if the election
of a Republican in that district can ever
be accomplished, The feeling in the
Convention to-day was hopeful and pur-
