disapproval

If there are any of that class of people among
your readers who believe that it is for the best
interest of any community to have rum holes,
and grog shops. and they are honest in it and
want to test it thoroughly let them come down
to Bridgeton and 60 into the glass business, es-
pecially that of making window lights. gen.
tleman who is in the business raid to me few
days ago that if any body wanted to be convinced
on this subject let him go into that business and
after that they would be in favor of prohibition.
Go into some of our factories and see the idle
pots standing waiting for blowers and then
think of their families who are needing the
money that should be earned by them. But
then, what is worse, they not only do not work
but they spend whatever money they already
have in their possession for that which makes
them brutes. This practical experience that our
manufacturers have had has convinced them
so that all of them, we believe, without excep-
ton. Chat is those who are engaged in the win
dow-light business) think that prohibition would
be good thing for Bridgeton.
The temperance people are looking forward
to the next meeting of city council hoping that
it will take steps toward revoking the three ho-
tel licenses SO unjustly granted few weeks ago.
There is some talk of movement to get
Mabee and English the celebrated temperance
revivalists, to come to Bridgeton. We think
there is a splendid field for them here. There
is large class of people here that they can
reach, we believe, that cannot be reached by the
church The churches are doing grand work
in educating the children. The Sunday schools

cieties. Two of then Commerce Street Meth
odist Episcopal and Central have adopted a
total abstinence pledge, larg. number of

ity Methodist Episcopal church is taking steps
in the same direction we believe and not only
that but some of them are putting tobacco where
it belongs in with whiskey, beer, wine and cider
and say they will totally abstain from all Of

surprising that the resolution requesting the

1t is admitted that we can limit, restrict,
hamper and tax the liquor traffic, but that we
cannot prohibit it.
Let us see Suppose we compare the traf-
fc to an evil tree? The public has right to
trim the tree, cut its top off, dig around the
trunk and cut away the roots but it cannot
cut the tree down. The right to trim tree
involves the right to cat the tree down. If
the right exists to trim tree because its
branches breed disease, the same right is in
volved to cut it down if the tree itself is
deemed unhealthful. Let the Bible speak.
"And now also the axe is laid unto the root
of the trees; therefore, every tree which
bringeth forth not good fruit is hewn down
and cast into the fire."

he who has been playing such wonderfully fns
games, was seemingly in the worst possible
FORM He had four costly bad balls, and
failed to do effective base throw
ing, and the fielding on the part
Of the home team was so bad that it sent
chill down the spinal column Of every friend to
the club who happened to be in the audience.
Those who had wagered stakes upon them were
swearing mad, but that is one Of the deceptive
peculiarities of base ball playing, and those who
will bet must take their medicine and should do
SO without grumblng. The first part Of the
g.me was so one sided that it was absolutely
unirteresting. The sixth inning started off a
little better. Casey opened with a home run,
popping the ball clean over the
right field fence, Fisher went out on long fly,
McAuley famed, and Isaacson struck clean hit.
He stole second and came home on Murray'e two

fine hit, but it was handsomely felded and he was
retired at first. No more runs were made. Fol

English Liberal Meeting.

LONDON, July 10.-At meeting of Liberals al
the foreign Office to-day, Gladstone said in view
of the action of the lords on the franchise, thu
cabinet has decided to close parliament as soon
as possible and call new session very early to
again pass the bill and submit it to the lords.
Parliament, he said, would reassemble in octo-
Der. He thought the lords would not agree to
reject the bill. He promised when parliament
met next year the whole energies of the govern
ment would be devoted to the passage OF the
complete measure for redistribution of parlia-
mentary seats. Gaschen counseled the govern
ment would use moderation in dealing with the
crisis. John Bright announced hts intention to
join the reform bill agitation. He hoped the
powers of the lords would be curtaied.

A MILE IN 2:O1i.
WestmOnt with Firebrand at His Side,
PAGES the Most Remarkable
Mile on Record:
Especial Telegram to the Globe.


CHICAGO, July 10.-All previous records Of
travelling to harness were smashed to-day al
the driving park. Westmont, the PAGER, son
of Almont, the trotting sire, whose death
was recently announced, was driven a full
mile with running mate in the phe-
nominal time of 2:01%. The event
was entirely unexpected. Fully 5000
persons were gathered at the track, expecting
two exhibitions of speed by Jay Eye See, the
noted trotter, and Johnston, the 2:10 PAGER.
The former did not appear. Johnston
paced an exercise mile in 2:1315, as unoffl-
cially timed, and the three regular events Of
the days programme were uninteresting walh
oveas. Catchfy won in the 2:19 class; Belle
Echo in the 2:24 class, and Billy s. in the
2:17 pacing race.
The vast audience naturally manifested
disappointment, and the managers were
anxious to appease them. Mr.. B. J. John
son, owner of Westmont, consented to let
the speedy PAGER show a mile to wagon with
running mate. Westmont, was accordingly
hitched up with Firebrand, six-year-old
running horse, and upon the word being
given started off at lightning clip. Proba-
bly, one hundred timers were held on the
novel exhibition, and as the quarter was
reeled of at a 2:01 gait the
crowd on the grand stand began to realize
that grand performance was being made.
Westmont never skipped while going to the
half-mile post, which was reached in two
minute gait, the second quarter being made
in 29sl seconds. Around the turn his speed
showed no diminuition, and passing the
three-quarter pole in the time given above,
1870, the perfect-moving PAGER came to tho
distance record at rate of speed which ware
ranted the belief that the mile would bf
covered in less than two minutes, UnforH
unately the running mate by an tnt
steady movement broke the pacer's even
gait and he knuckled first at the grand stand.
Mr. Campbell, his driver, was Enabled toI
bring him down, but as the team drove
under the wire in 2.01& and the remarkable
performance was announced by Secretary
Hall, a perfect avalanche Of cheers greeted
Westmont and his driver. But for the break
mentioned the time would certainly havs
been not more than two minutes. The track
has come into grand shape since the recent
rains and tomorrow Jey,Eye See will trot
against time.
Immediately after Westmont's perform
ance to-day he was sold to James M. Hill,
the theatrical manager Of this city, for s20,-
900. Pittsburg offers $4,000 for an exhi.,
bition heat by Westmont at the races in thatl
city next week.

SALTWATER, Mimi, July 1O.-The Saginaws
may well say: We came, we saw, we walloped
them. That is what they did. They could have
waxed them far worse, but the Saginaws got
tired of base running, and had as much fun as
they wanted. The first cause of the defeat was
McCue's pitching, which was of that kind that
almost any one could hit, as the three home runs
of the visitors show. Besides these were thir-
teen base hits, aud two or three baggers The
next cause was that Peters was not on the
Held, and the boys went at it as
they liked, playing on his own hook and no as
sistance to each other. Another cause was the
very worst kind Of errors The umpire appeared
to be an independent one, but he made some very
obvious mistakes. The last and great reason
was that the Stillwaters are no match for the
Sagnaws. They were defeated by is to 0, and
but for the charity Of the visitors the defeat would
have been greater. Following is the score

were victorious to-day, the game being clean
present from the home team on account of it's
fragrant and numerous errors. The Terre
Hautes hit Murphy hard, and he changed with
Morrissey after the fifth inning, when the hitting
ceased, Morrissey proving puzzler to the Hoo

yankees only getting five safe hits off him. -Four
of the hits were two baggers, but were made af-
ter two men were out. The Miwaukees failed
miserably, and the large audience present was
Disguised with the exhibition. Lott, who has
played one game on trial with the Milwaukees as
a pitcher, was released, and played with the
Terre Hautes to-day. He felded well, but failed
to distinguish himself at the stick. The umpir-
ing of Frank was poor, and told against the home
team. The score is as follows:
