Liquor-sellers claim that they have vested
rights that must be respected If, for the
sake of argument, we admit this to be true.
have citizens generally no vested rights that
must be respected? Is not the state under
obligations to protect every citizen from
nuisances from evils of every kind, and from
disorderly and criminal persons What right
has class of citizens to impose burden of
expense and crime upon others that they may
live an indolent and worthless life What
right has the state to legalize business that
in its very motive is sin and crime? What
right has the state to permit seven thousand
men, more or less, to entail the annual ex-
penditure of thirty million dollars on the
people? What right has the state to legalize
monopoly of the business of making drunk
ards?

LOSE YOUR VOTE.

1t is said that by voting Prohibition the
vote is lost ! How can that be Must vote
be on the winning side in order to be saged ?
If SO, then all votes are lost which are not
with the majority. But must the value of a
vote be measured by success? If we take this
view, then we are driven to the conclusion
that there should never be but one party, as
all successful votes must be with the major
ity. This view, however, proves too much.
The party in power was once in the minority.
The votes were not lost, but they counted
and continued to tell upon the masses until
the loyal millions placed the power in the
hands of the victors. History only repeats
itself. When you vote for principle and not
for mere party you may rest assured that
you do not lose your vote. 1t counts one,
each year, until others join the earnest thou
shalt not and the demon Of liquor is driven
from our land.
One vote sometimes tells the story and
leads to victory. At the Chicago convention
of 1880, one cote sounded out the tidings of
coming victory. One vote for the right is
worth millions which are stuffed into the box
by unholy hands No, your vote will not be
lost; you can record your protest against
evil, you can be free to say, 81 am not re-
sponsible for intemperance my voice, my
heart and vote form triune protest against a
nations sin, and when future generations rise
up in our place, it will be said there was one
vote against the giant wrong which stands as
ruin Tile LeUer.

Rev. A. E. BALLARD, General Vice-Presi-
dent of the New Jersey State Temperance
Alliance, spent last Sabbath in Woodstown
preaching at the NJ. E. church in the morn
ing and at the Baptist church in the evening,
the Presbyterian church uniting with the
Baptist in the evening service. The attend
ance was large at both services. His ad-
dresses were listened to with marked interest,
both because of the position he holds and the
thoughtful manner in which he presents the
cause of temperance. Mr.. Ballard is thor
oughly conversant with the subject and with
the best means to be used for its promo
ton. Devoting himself to its study, and with
his wide observations in travelling all over the
state. his presentation of the subject is well
worthy of the attention of all who are interest
ed in the success of the temperance cause
and the prohibition of the liquor-trafic. He
stated clearly the position of the Temperance
Alliance and its intimate relation to the
church If all who are working III the cause
adopted the measures proposed by him as
representing the Alliance, its final triumph
would be near at hand The Alliance is
catholic in its spirit, including all who are in
favor of the abolition of the traffic in intoxi-
eating drinks, and it seeks to unite all in this
common cause. 1t is determined in its pur-
pose, and aims to do all in its power to hasten
the overthrow of this diabolical business 1t
works in harmony with the church, and in
vites the cooperation of I'LL moral, temper
ance people. 1t organizes the temperance
sentiment of the state in united, persistent eff
fort for the accomplishment of its purpose.
It is moral rather than political organiza-
ton 1t allies itself with no party measures,
excepting as individuals and communities may
combine in asserting their influence as citizens
for the promotion of its interests. 1t allows
freedom of thought, word and action, at the
same time striving to secure unity of result.
In no other way could it SO well conserve and
render practical the temperance sentiment of
the state. 1t represents all shades and phases
of temperance sentiment and strives to unity
them all in one beautiful bow of promise or
shining orb of light, which shall be sign to
future generations that the land shall never
more be deluged with .tire-aoater or darkened
with the evils of intemperanee.

Bridgeton.

1--WE have met the enemy, he has been beaten
and we have gained the day. was the glad
message that went out from the city of Bridge
ton year ago last spring, and also last
spring. Your readers are all aware that at the
last two charter elections we have declared by
large majorties against license After the peo-
pie had spoken once we hoped that would be
sufficient warrant for council to refuse license
but it was not. After they had spoken the sec
ond time they supposed of course that we wonld
have no more license; but again we were disap-
pointed and that too notwithstanding the fact
that majority of council was pledged against
granting licenses, before election. The grant
ing was done by calling q meeting of the coun-
Gil while member was absent from the city.
Then it was thought by some that inasmuch
as the power was vested in the city council to
revoke license with or without cause. that
certainly council at its next meeting would re-
yoke them; but they were again disappointed.
Some of the councilmen said, We will not do
this for if we do it will antagonize them and
make them eour greater enemies. Who ever
heard of the rumseller being anything but bit
ter enemies of everything that is pure, good and
true?
But they took this as an excuse and said,
When you get case against one of them we
will revoke his license.
Just previous to the last meeting of city coun-
ell it was rumored that Franklin Lightcap, pro-
prietor of the City hotel, had sold liquor to a
minor and had made him drunk and that too on
more than one occasion. The rumor proved
to have some foundation, for when city council
+bn foil bo &c tah oit
appeared before them and prayed that honora-
BILE body to revoke said Lightcap's license be-
cause contrary to law, he had sold his boy
liquor, at the same time presenting the boys
affidavit. These facts were presented. In
looking around it was observed that one of the
license men was absent and therefore it was
supposed that there would be three vote against
revoking and five in its favor. Another disap-
pointment, for when the vote was taken it was
lost Mr.. Cox, the president, voting with the
license men. His vote gives that man the right
to continue selling rum and that too after he
had publicly announced in card in the Ecen-
ing Ne,rs, before his nomination, that if he was
nominated and elected he would in every in
stance vote against licensing hotels, beer
saloons and billiard rooms and more than that
he, In order TO get votes on the night OF the
primary meeting went around making the above
pledge to those who were entitled to vote in the
meeting.
Every defeat of their wishes onl, has ten
dency to make the temperance people of Bridge
ton resolve that hereafter no man will get our
votes for city council who is not temperance
man from principle rather than as matter of
policy.
Look out for us next spring.

CAMDEN N. j., July 21.-The liquor deal
ers of this city are greatly exercised over the
operations of an ordinance lately passed by
the City Council, which increases the license
fee from S72 to 5000 and prohibits any free
holder from signing the application for license
of more than one liquor dealer. There are
not, in some wards, enough freeholders to
sign for all the liquor sellers, even if all of
them were disposed to do SO. In consequence
though the license year expires only with tb e
calendar year, several applications have al
ready been filed with the city clerk. The
liquor dealers who are freeholders are sig ming
for each other and yet many have net yet
secured enough names.-N. Y. Tri6u ne.
