An early line from Philadelphia, on the
Belvidere Division, passing this place at
about 8 A. NJ, would be o great accom-
mediation TO the people of this, as we'll as

Gas A. M. seems late hour for the
first train to arrive at our city from Phila-
delphia. 1t was much better years ago
when the train passed here at about $50.
An earlier train would certainly be a
great accommodation, as 1t would not
only enable people on business to reach
points along the road without loss of time,
but it would bring the daily newspapers
and mails at much more convenient
hour. 1t would seem that the daily papers
and mails from a city only DO miles off
ought to get to Lambertville much earlier
than they now do. With the railroad
company, however, the question of twill
it pay" has to be considered as well as
the accommodation of the public. We
hope, at least it may be tested.

This institution having recently open
cd its course of instruction, has already
been the recipi ent Of such a marked in
terest from those who are In attendance
there as students, that it bids fair TO de-
velope prom ising future for itself. The
class Of students is composed of number
of young men, who are DESTROYS of i'm
proving themselves In the various branch
es of study pursued, showing both for the
cause and the presence of those interested
in their education, degree of attention
and respect highly commendable. The
thorough organization of this enterprise,
in our midst, is substantial proof, that
those who are interested In the cause
were really in earnest 10 the matter, and
intended TO start such an enterprise upon
a firm basis with view to its future
permanency. 1t should certainly receive
the sanction and hearty good will of all
those who are interested in having our
young men afforded such an opportunity,
as there are many who are denied the
privilege Of attendance upon the schools
in consequences of their being creditably
engaged through the day, In the various
trades and other occupations. The class
is composed Of highly respectable yonng
men, who are deeply interested, and are
the means of encouraging others to join
With them. Now is the time to join the
class. The instructors are now deliver
ing a series Of lectures upon the various
branches, and simplifying and rendering
easy of comprehension, the matter upon
which they are engaged. No one need
hesitate, as the lectures are plain, practi-
cal and easily understood, by any ordinary
intellect. The terms for tuition are mod
crate, and time Of payments made per-
fectly satisfactory.

he believed the public lands were for the
benefit of the people, not to be sold to aliens
and to be given to railroad corporations. He
said three quarters of today's laws were framed
for the capitalists and one quarter for the peo-
pie. He didn't think much of the National
Senate, as the Senators in his opinion were
really elected and controlled by monopolists,
and what the Republicans didn't do to aid the
monopolists, the Democratic party did. No
help could be expected from either of these
parties, but 1t must come from the Peoples
Party. He characterized the Republican party
as sinking ship, and the Democratic as a
water-logged craft. He advocated currency
reform and the doing away with the National
banks. He said the Greenback party was
organized all over the country. He thought
there would be at least 10000 votes given to
the Peoples Party in Maine and some one in
the audience sung ont "more." He thought
