The Chinamau said he would, and then
attempted to get aboard, whereupon
More drew his revolver and struck the
Chinaman over the head, knocking him
down. The Chinaman jumped up, drew
his knife and started ior More, when
More shot him in the forehead. More
then came over here, bringing the China
man, who died from the effect of his
wound this morning. More gave him
self up. He is ont on $1,000 bail to

'sTotal abstinence for the individual and constitu
tiOnal prohibition for the state"
Recent advices from Major Scott give us good
news from Boonton and Washington, where he
has been laboring during the last month. Wash
ington has elected no-license council, five out
of the six strong for prohibition. Good At
Boonton his series of meetings has been the
most successful of any in our state. Mrs. Scott
isEbecoming strong factor in this work, labor
ing earnestly among the children and in the W.
C. T. U. How God is blessing the labors of his
faithful servants in our state.
The value of organization is becoming more
and more apparent every day. Every town and
hamlet should be organized without delay, not
to speak of the cities where the power masses
itself when properly directed. Coopertown, a
little town near Beverly, has caught the infec-
ton from the reform movement and asks that
the Reform Club of Beverly should come there
and help them to form a club. If our strength
could be properly estimated (and it can only be
done by organization we should feel more con-
fidence in ourselves. If this is done during the
coming summer we shall find vast increase in
the Prohibition vote next autumn. Five thou
sand votes can be easily made ten or fifteen, if
this is done. Two towns in South Jersey each
of which turns out the largest audiences to hear
temperance speeches and feels deep interest in
the subject we know, each gave one vote for
prohibition, when, with little effort at least
fifty might have been secured. No tickets pro-

tie derelict in our duty here; it should be our
business to see that this matter is not neglected
again, not appearing forward in the matter, but
SEEING that 1t is done. We can be the "power be-
hind the throne if we will, and let me say here
to all our ladies, don't be scared from providing
voters with hot coffee and lunch at the polls on
election day. To talk of bribery under such
circumstances is simply nonsense. 1t would
not hurt our cause one jot to have this tested.
The night in the Jail at Cincinnati, for the women
of the Ohio crusade was the seed from which
grew glorious reform in that city, the effects
of which are evident now. Even persecution
may be needed to bring about needful results
If so, here am T. Lord, and there are more OF US
among our three thousand white ribbon wo-
men, in New Jersey to go " even to prison and
unto death if need be.
The Reform Club in Beverly (the right hand
of the w. G. T. ID has opened its reading-rooms
at the corner of Cooper and Warren streets.
They have now possession of the whole house

to it. This is a felt want of Beverly and these
men mean to supply it.

meeting of the Salem County Temper
ance Alliance was held at the Broadway Meth
odist Episcopal church at Salem last week.
Among other business transacted the follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, we regard the liquor traffic as
diabolically evil, only evil, and that continu-
ally; that in it there is not, consequently
from it there comes not any good thing; but
on the contrary it is the fruitful source of
sorrow, pauperism and crime bringing
physical social and moral ruin to the indi-
vidual, the family and the state; and
WHEREAS, because large sums of money are
invested in, and made by this business, there
fore the liquor interests are organized for its
protection, using their money, their social
and political influence for its continuance
therefore
Resoloed, That it is the duty of all good
citizens to array themselves in organized eff
fort against the great evil.
ResOl0ed, That we regard the license sys-
tenn, whether high or low, as wrong in prin-
ciple, giving as it does legal sanction to crime,
and taking fee which is the price of blood.
ResolUed, That while we will hail with pleas
ure any action or measure, by judges, munich
pal or state authorities which will lessen the
evil, complete legal prohibition is our goal
and we will be satisfied with nothing less.
Resol0ed, That we recommend temperance
voters to vote for such men of either party
who are pledged for prohibition, municipal,
state or national
Resolved, That we recommend the setting
up of independent candidates as expedient
only when neither the candidates nor party
will pledge themselves to prohibition.
Resolged, That we recommend the appoint
ment of committee who shall publish the
names of all signers of applications for license
in the county, and that the cost of the same
be paid by the Alliance.
Rev. James Moore, of Salem, was elected
president.
