Political leaders have one article in their
creed. That article consists of one word.
That word is Uotes. Votes give them eleva-
ton, distinction, power, money. Without
votes they are nothing, less than nothing.
Voters are of two classes. The makers, sellers
and users of drink are in one class. Chris
tians and all temperance men are in the other
class These different classes are mixed
together in politics. If the political managers
do anything to offend the whiskey men they
will lose the whiskey vote. But they can't
offend the christian and temperance men. Do
what they will for rum, the soft-hearted tenn
perance men will vote for them for fear the
other party will win. Result: The political
managers keep the liquor vote by gratifying
it, and the temperance vote stands by them
all the same.
Temperance men have shown larger ca
pacity to be kicked without kicking back than
any white men we know.

object of tender care for many years, and
sufferer never had more devoted attention
than her family has given her her whole life
long.
We were pleased to see our MONITOR recog-
nized by the Temperance Gazette last week in
a marked manner by giving in its columns
two of our editorials. By the way, the Ga
gette didn't give credit for them. Don't for
get us.
Major Scott has just closed very success
full weeks work at Mullica Hill, as shown by
the report of our correspondent at that place.
He gives series of addresses this week at
Pennsgrove next week at Salem and then at
Chester, Pa. Mrs. Scott accompanies hin;
looking especially after the interests of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Unions in
these places, and establishing new ones where
they are not already organized. The major
and his wife are.doing grand work.
An interesting article from the pen. of
Charles H. Richman will be commenced in
the next number of the MONITOR
The personal property OF John K. Davies,
of Alloway, consisting mainly..of the fixtures
of his canningshouse at that place, was sold
on Tuesday last by Ephraim J. Lloyd, as
signee.
We learn that John S. Elwen, of Yorke-
town, was large purchaser, which would
seem to indicate cannery at that place. If
that is SO the people of Yorktown are to be
congratulated, not only upon the facti that a
canning establishment is to be started, but
also that it is in such good hands,
Town meeting and borough election March
9th. Of the borough officers mayor is to be
elected for one year, and two councilmen for
the term Of three years. The councilmen
whose terms expire this spring are E. s.
Davis and J. B. Cobb.
The amount of business done by E. B.
Humphreys & Co. is proof that their conf
dence in the use of advertising is not mis-
placed None have been more liberal in the
use of printers ink than they, and they keep
up the profitable habit by handing us the ad-
vertisement which appears in another column.
The ad. is like the men, straightforward and
business-like.

The case of The People against James
Bryant. violating the game law, was scalled
last evening before the Circuit Court. From
a scanning of the case, it would appear that
James is disciple of Sir Izaak Walton. and
takes delight in watching embryo ''nibbles'
develop into ''bites," especially in the trout
ing season. But il would further appear
that James's ''bites" too frequently resulted
in landing diminuitive trout, when he tished
The roaring waters Of Giles's Creek in Paris
township, and as consequences the heavy
hand of the law came down on him for not
returning them to their native element when
less than six inches long. Sporting men are
interested in this case, ''iust for instance. if
from no other standpoint, as they all agree that

THE PINk-EYE.
Its Appearance Here, and Something
of ITS History.

Its Appearance Here, and Something
of ITS History.
Now that pink-eye has again appeared
among the horses of this city, the history
and pecuIiarities of the disease should be
looked up by veterinary surgeons and horse
men, in order that it may be handled intelli-
gently, the surest remedies applied and the
best safeguards maintained to prevent its
spread. distinguished specialist on the
diseases of horses, claims that pink-eye is
but another name for scarlet fever in horses,
and that the first history of the disease
among mankind, shows that it was simulta-
neous with q similar outbreak among horses
in the year 1914. From that date until 1910
there is an unbroken chain of evidence that
the two diseases are similar and transmitta-
BILE from beast to man. Acting upon this
impression, an experimenter inoculated
some children with the virus of horses de-
ceased with pink-eye, and obtained results
which proved as conclusive as vaccinating to
prevent smallpox. Secretary Cargill, of the
Board of Health, has some valuable data on
the subject.

La these days Of progress there is a.
mand for better means 81 Illumination
than ever before. The dazzling brilliancy
of the electric light makes our common
kerosene lamps as dim as taIlow dips IN
the comparison. This demand has been
fully met by the introduction of the Sun
Lamps. They are necessarily made Of
metal because the draft or chimney ex-
tends down through the center of the
lamp. The wieks are i've inches wide ana
give light of forty-fye candle power, equal
10 three gas burners These lamps were
brought out at the close of last season, bat
the price was SO high-S6 each-but few were
sold. Owing 10 the enormous demand which
has sprung up, they are now produced al q
price within the reach of all, and sold for IS
in brass and S3.5o in nickel, complete with
ten-inch porcelain shade. To persons trou-
bled with weak eyes or those who desire 10
preserve their eyesight by means Of good
light, the Sun Lamp will prove blessing.

reflection from the cone shape is best for
throwing light down. These lamps are also
much cheaper than last year. They are now
sold at from IS to 81 each. Fine table
lamps are furnished with duplex or two
wick burners, giving double the light of the
single wick burners. There are many styles
of these lamps on exhibition, including solid

GONE. BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.


The Baltimore a Ohio Telegraph Office,
and West Side landlads, are low both IN
mourning for the sudden departure of H. q.
Woleyer, an operator ia the above named
Office, who has not been seen since Monday
evening last. AT that date, and frequently
since, the Office, on account of q rush Of
work. was shorthanded. and Woleyer's pres
enee was very desirable. as none knew bet
ter how 10 'jerk lightning" than be, or
transcribe its tickings more rapidly. But lac
then said, "let the boys hustle away. I'll do
'em good. l have an engagement want 10
keep with friend tonight and can't work. y
Yesterday morning, brother operator grew
so curious about his heightened ''engage-
ment," that he opened his trunk and found
that Woleyef's absence was no doubt inten-
tional and would probably be indefinitely
prolonged, as his entire wardrobe was mis-
sing, and his Saratoga contained naught
but some suggestively labeled phials.
Woleyer is native of Belleville, Ontario,
and has operated previous TO his arrival
here, at Port Huron, Detroit and Chicago.
As an operator he has but few superiors, is
quick, accurate, good-natured and polite,
but evidently has moral obliquity regard
ing the rights of landladies to receive just
compensation for board. His unpaid bill on

THE n. Y. Tribune deprecates the at
tacks made upon Mr.. Blaine and whin-
ingly complains that those which are
most persistent come from nominal re-
publicans. But the charges made have
abundant proof to sustain them and
were industriously promulgated by re-
publican papers before the nomination,
which now support Blaine. The Mil
waukee Sentinel showed up Mr.. Blaine's
record and pointadly asked whether such
nomination would be wise one. Is
his record any better now! By what
process has he been made clean2
The course of The n. Y. Times, Post
and Harpers Magazine is wholly consist
ent while The Inter Ocean and Sentinel
are forced to take the position of having
yilifed Blaine before his nomination or
of supporting a candidate now whose
| course has made him unworthy of conf
dence. They must take either horn of
the dilemma.

THE facts in the Blaine business. those

THE facts IN the Blaine business, those
which are indisputable and acknowledge
ed il his own letters and by the memor-
anda in his own handwriting, are that
Blaine sold $4,000 each of common
stock, preferred stock and first mortgage
bonds, for $4,000, receiving as pay
ment from the Little Rock & Fort Smith
r. r. Co. for this service, S130. 600 in
land bonds and s32, 500 in frs. mortgage
bonds. That he sold similar securities
at another time to the amount of $34, 900,
for so, 500, receiving 81, 500 commission.
That at another time he sold similar
stocks to the amount of S77, 900. for cash,
$50, 900. receiving as commission cash
SIC, $50. That he stated in the house
before these transactions were made
public that he never received any bond
etc, except by purchase at market value
as others received them. Tia, he claim.
ed the Road derived its franchise from
the state of Arkansas though it after
wards appeared it could only exist thro'
the extension of the land grant, which
extension his ruling as speaker secured.
Those are the facts as submitted by Mr..
Blaine himself.

PROHIBITION now prevails in Iowa. -
Not the same opposition to the enforce
Inent of the law manifested itself that
was expected. The day before the law
went into effect was big one. People
went on spree who never before touch
ed liquor. Barrels of it were sold where
only pints would be, under ordinary cir
cumstances. All the old jugs We're filled
and those in the habit of "taking some
thing" have supply for at least 80 days.
Many of the saloons the next day were
draped in mourning.
