SWedeSboro.

With great assurance of success w. G. T. U.
has been organized here. 1t started with thirty
members. DR.. Halsey is the first honorary
member. Others are being added at each meet
ing. The superintendents of the different de-
partments have been appointed and are moving
in their work.
Decoration day is the great national holiday
here The town was full. The Clarksboro band
and our own vocal talent rendered the music
most excellently for the occasion. Rev. Messrs.
Hoskins and Garrison made addresses. The
Sunday school children aided in decorating the
graves.
The day was marred by sad case of drown
ing. A captain with his boat, from Chew s
Landing, was here. He found one of our legal
lied thanksgiving machines, recommended by
twelve of our freeholders as a good thing to
have. He returned to his boat in the evening
drunk. The next heard by his crew was the
splash when he rolled into his watery grave.
His body was found on Sunday afternoon and
conveyed to his sorrowing family. The pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal church made good
use of the sad affair to awaken to the work of
temperance. The jury returned verdict of ac-
cidental drowning. In the name of conscience
do we not know the cause of his death? If
there had been no liquor traffic permitted here,
do we suppose for one moment but this man
would have been living? What killed him then.?
Everybody knows ram did it. Question: Who
is responsible? Let every christian consider.
Shall we, of Swedesboro, permit this man-slay-
er, and robber of home and happiness longer in
our midst?

our midst

Friday afternoon of last week was a gala-day
for Mullica Hill. The places of business were
closed, and everybody was in holiday attire
due principally to the permanent organization of
Grand Army post in our town.
In the morning the post went in body to
Five Points, our cornet band accompanying
them, there to decorate the graves in Mt. Pleas
ant Cemetery.
At 1.3O PM. they met at their room, and
headed by the cornet band, they proceeded to
the various cemeteries in our town, to decorate
and strew flowers upon the graves of their dead
comrades, after which they repaired to the
Town hall to listen to an oration by Rev. Mr..
Hamilton, of the Baptist church, which was
we'll rendered.
1t was impossible for the large crowd to all
get in the hall, as there were supposed to be
over six hundred people present.
Our Union temperance meeting was held last
Sunday evening in the Baptist church. The
people came out in masses to hear Mrs. Ellis,
until the house was filled to overtiowing, great
many having to stand. Her address was pointed.

other prohibition states are sent by defunct

parts of Kansas. These gentlemen without
exception said the law against dram selling
was enforced as well as many other laws, and
that dram-selling and drunkenness had won

prohibitory law. The question we would
like answered is this: If prohibition don't
prohibit, what, in the name of common
sense, is all this whining about on the part of
dram sellers If more rum is sold under pro-
hibition than under license, why not quietly

hurt by prohibition, is it not time that they

twice in its history, the excuse for its last sus-
pension being its connection with the embar-
| rassed New York firm of Fisk q Hatch. The
| article in question says
There was time when Jerseymen could
well point with pride to the administration of
justice in this state. Now, alas they are
more likely to point to it with shame 'Jer-
sey justice is fast becoming travesty of
truth-a mockery Of words. The blind god
dess seems to regard it as no crime to bring
ruin and misery to thousands by means of

as ever to make an example of the wretch

million but contented himself with mite.

and severely; to ruin savings bank by means
of disobedience to law is no offense whatever
At all events this is the experience of the law.
1T is sorry experience. 1t makes people
cry out that Jersey justice is a sham. 1t

ton upon the state. Worse than ALL it brings
contempt for the administration of justice

The New York World, commenting on the
causes of the Cincinnati riot, speaks to the
same purpose. We have, in fact, one law for
the rich and another for the poor. The two
classes hold themselves too much aloof from

each others welfare.

The audience was not as large as the speaker

in good for the w. &. T. u. under whose au-

The senate committee on postal telegraphy,

The senate committee on postal telegraphy,
in presenting bill before the senate for the
incorporation of telegraphy with the transmits
sion of the mail, makes report in its favor,
in which it says there can be no doubt of its
constitutionality, and dwells upon the mani
fest advantages which will accrue from it.
Among these are the reduction of rates from
the present average of 80 cents to 25 cents
per telegram, with the prospect of a further
decrease to 20 cents in five years; also the
prevention of the chance for interested man
ipulation OF kilograms either by the teie-
graph companies themselves or by the asso-
ciated press These are benefits which the
public would appreciate, but on the other
hand it should be an understood thing that
the government should be responsible for err
rors in the transmission of kilograms resulting
in loss to the parties concerned. This re-
sponsibility attaches to the private companies
by whom the business of telegraphy is now
carried on, and many law suits against them
for such mistakes have been won and dam
ages received 1t would not do for the gov.
ernment to apply the same rule of non-re
sponsibility to the new branch of its business

DECISIONS.


A Lodge cannot, by majority vote, expunge
any portion of its records 1t may be import
ant to some member that the records shall
stand. No portion of the records can be ex-
plunged except by unanimous consent. If
unanimous consent is not given, the action of
the Lodge can only be changed by recon
sideration of the question.
If member is disorderly and will not obey
the ruling of the chair, the member may be
removed from the room, using sufficient force
to accomplish it, or a policeman may be
called and requested to remove him from the
room.
If an officer of Lodge violates the pledge
he cannot discharge the duties of the office
after he has confessed or been found guilty
until he has been re-obligated and satisfied
any other penalty that the Lodge may have
imposed, when he at once resumes the duties
of his office. But, if the Office be one that re-
quires the incumbent to be degree member,
he must also be re-obigated in the degrees
before resuming his duties. If it be the office
of w. G. T., the w. V. I. will take charge of
the Lodge during the disability of the w. c..
t., and will preside and administer the re-
obligation, or may designate some P. w. G.
T. to perform that duty.

LAWRENCE Kansas, June 10.-Prohibition
is on the wane in Kansas, both in the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties. The strength
of prohibition in this state for the past two
years has been largely fictitious. The Prohl-
bitionists have been routed from the Repub-
ican party and it is doubtful whether they
will be allowed place in the rear. At the
coming Republican State Convention deter
mined effort will be made to cut the party
loose from the prohibitory issue by demand
ing that the convention shall declare in favor
of the resubmission of the prohibitory amend
ment
The above, a special dispatch, is taken
from the Philadelphia Press.
The statement that prohibition is ''on the
wane in Kansas, both in the Republican and
Democratic parties" may be true, SO far as
these parties themselves are concerned. But
if the Press means to say that prohibition Is a
failure in Kansas, it must produce something
more trustworthy than the mere ipse dirat of
an irresponsible newspaper correspondent.
Statistics have been drawn from reliable
(governmentaD sources which have proven
prohibition a success. Of course no one
claims that the minute prohibition became a
law every dran-shop in the state closed its
DOORS front and back There is too much
money in the nefarious business, and men are
found who are willing to defy law and public
sentiment that they may reap the profits OF
the rumseller
We would like to ask the Press question.
Does it think prohibition has been given a
fair trial in Kansas? For generations the
license system has been fairly tried; every
body knows it has proved conspicuous fail
ure. Is it fair to give license an hundred
years probation and prohibition only
twelve months
The tenor of this remarkable dispatch
would seem to indicate that the Republican
party had determined to throw itself, bag and
baggage, into the beer camp. If the party
wishes to court defeat, let it do this. II the

Responsibility.

The criminal classes are increasing with
great rapidity our jails and prisons are
crowded and the gallows are reaping fright
full harvest. 1t is sad to see the awful havoc
of crime in our midst Men, women and
children are murdered in cold blood in many
cases by the very men who ought to be their
protectors. Homes that once were happy and
peaceful have been broken up, families have
been separated, hearts have been crushed and
cherished hopes of coming happiness have
been rudely blasted. Almost simultaneously
horrible murders have been committed in four
of our largest cities, while lesser crimes are
following each other in quick succession.
We should remember that the criminal
classes are bringing into the world large
number of children with inherited predis-
position to crime. What disgrace to the
civilization of America that children should
be born with inherited tendencies to crime !
What chance has the child born with an appe-
tite for strong drink, in the midst of thieves
murderers and other vile characters of both
sexes, to fight the great battle of life with any
hope of reaching the goal of success?
Generation after generation of beer soaked
and rum-infamed people are growing into
the lowest and most pernicious citizens, a
curse to themselves and the community.
What is the cause or what are the causes of
this marvellous increase of crime The an
swer to this question is anticipated by every
thoughtful reader. The one great centre,
source and inspiration of this increase of
crime is the dram-shop. And who is response
BILE for the dram-shop? The dram seller, the
license signers, the bondsmen, the courts,
the councils granting license and the legisla-
lures who have formulated license laws, have
o very large share of responsibility, but after
all the community, the public, is the respon-
sible party, for dram selling will cease the
day the people say it must. There is only
one way to stop it; it cannot be regulated and
it cannot be crcumscribed except it be by
prohibition.
License, high or low, is not what the coun-
try wants or must have. 1t does not even
amount to palliative License or taxation
in any form does not close gin-mill or
beer-shop. The proprietors of the moral
slaughter houses do not like it, because it adds
so much to their expenses of doing business,
but they can stand it. So long as beer and
whiskey can be sold at profit of 200 to 300
per cent, and they have the youth of the
country to prey upon, it makes but little diff
ference to them how much they are taxed
High license does not close one of them, or
decrease the sale of the murderous stuff
drop. Therefore it fails entirely to protect
the people from an evil, which is what law
should do. 1t merely compels an admitted
evil to bear part of the burden it piles upon
the people. Prohibition is the very least that
the people can accept. 1t is the destruction
of curse that is wanted not the hedging it
about and making it legitimate.
