THE JUSTICE or TIE MEASURE.

For upwards Of twenty years the saloon
men have been free from tax or license; the
people Of the State are thoroughly aroused
on the matter; successful fight against
this bill would inevitably result in some.
thing more stringent; and finally, an open
G sht would precipitate contest that any
sane man sees would prove detrimental TO
saloon interests. AS consequence, saloon
men with great unanimity are accepting
the Scott bill as q declaration from the Re.
publican party, detlning It's position on the
whisky question, and being conscious OF
It's justness, they will support the party
this fall. The opinion obtains almost uni.
versally that the law will be declared con.
stitutional on Its merits. The charge that
Foster packed the Supreme Court Commits,
sion with an eye to this same bill Is the
widest vagary, the most monumental bit
OF idiocy that one can dSeam OF.
The immediate effect Of the law will be
to close at least 25 per cent OF the saloons,
and in therural districts, and Incorporated
villages to stop the traffic altogether. Peo:
pie who care to study the question dispas.
sionately are ot the opinion that the law
will do more towards controlling thetraiiic
than prohibition law possibly could.
The temperance people are bitterly op.
posed to It, because, they say, II legalizss
The business and therefore makes It respect.

LETTER FROM RINGoES.
RINaoEs. N. j.. Feb. 8, 1885

RINeoEs. N j., Feb. 8, 1888.
Persons that make the greatest splutter
over any matter are generally the ones
the accomplish the least.
The walks in our village were exceed
ingly slippery, Saturday morning. 1t was
hardly possible to walk or even stand on
them. Many persons suffered hard falls.
The warm weather and rain Of Satur.
day night, rendered the roads very muddy
Yesterday. The weather bscame colder
in the evening and snow began falling In
tho night Another cold snap is likely to
visit us this week.
IF the p. r. r. Co. ever propose run
ming Sunday trains on our branch road
they will certainly be Obliged to build a
new station. The present one is totally
unfit for weekday nse, let alone extra
use on the Sabbath.
Our -" Sunilower' station is slowly fad
ing tnot from view we are sorry to say,
but in color. How would u thin" coat
of a "gay yellow mixture appear on its
rough EXTERIOR That might revive the
. beautiful shades of tho lovely Sun
flower"
Some people are So sensitive that the
least thing said by another concerning
any public matter or thing in general,
they apply directly and solely to them
selves aud whether the thing said is right
or wrong they condemn it because its
truth effects their beliefs or interests,
Some people are terribly threatening at
times, Int are generally the ones that fail
to Brighten anything human. number
of threats have been made at times re-
garding "Pop' quot in his presence), but
nothing dangerous or marvellous have fol-
lowed their utteiances. We still rest in
the sweet peace of conscience and CON
tcntment.
Rev r. j. Kent spoke last evening re-
garding the proposition of running Sun
day trains on the Belvidere Division lie
considered it desecration of the Sab
bath and urged all Christians to oppose
such measures tending to destroy the
holiness and sacredness of the Sabbath
day. 1t seems to us that the protests
that are made against the running of
these trains, by the moral, Christian and
best people along the line of the Belvidere
Division, should be sufficient to influence
and prevent tho p. r. r. CO., from adopt
ing such measure. OF course many favor
the running Of trains on the Sabbath but
as a whole they may be found to be either
money grabbers pleasure seekers or per-
sous fond Of worldly amusements. These
should not he tho advisers of the railroad
companies concerning such measures as
affect the morals of Christian commune
ties. With the strong protests at present
offered against this proposition of run
ming these trains on the Sabbath, we can
hardly understand how the company can
undertake such measure. Por.
