@-Mr. Hewitt, member of Congress from New
York, now proposes to get up little tariff bill to
see if it will meet with any better success than
that of his colleague, Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois,
The last Democratic National convention demand
cd "a tariff for revenue only" This time it will
be "a tariff for office only" The chances are a
hundred to one that the last will meet with worse
fate at the hands of the American people than the
former did, and the Bourbons will be showed un-
der so deep that even four long years will not be
sufficient to resurrect them,

"THE PARTY OF THE SECOND PART"

We last week gave the views of the Westmin-
ster Democratic Advocate on the subject of new
Democratic paper in Towsontown. Having pre-
sented that side of the case, the respondent must
also have chance to speak, and we therefore copy
from the first issue of the Peoples Voice-the new
organ of the unterrifed-its reply to the Advocate
Here it is
"The Westminster Advocate, in commenting
upon the establishment of the Voice at Towson-
town, exhibits an amount of brass equal to one of
our chemical squrters to say nothing of its ignor
ance. 1t says we are to make factions, and be
the organ of faction like that already dividing
the Republican party, and will deliver the county
over to the Radicals and whole lot of similar
inane balderdash.
"In the first place, we are not neo paper at all,
but change our base from Reisterstown to Tow
sontown. In the second place, there has not been
for years any Democratic paper published at Tow
sontown, and it is quite time the party had an
organ there. We intend to be that organ. The
secret of the Adrocate's impairment illusions to
us consists in the fact of the reported connection
between Hon. George Cotton and ourselves, and
his well known and true friendship for and in
terest in us.
"This acts on the Vanderfords like q dose Of
half dozen blue-mass pills. or like red flag on a
bull. 1t stirs up all the bile and venom they
have. Then, again, there Congressional
aspirations in the family, and with prophetic eye
they see that the Voice might sit down on and
fatten out those aspirations. Then, again, we
have unbounded faith and confidence in Charles
B. Roberts, which is third secret cause of offence
1--WE ask no favors of the Allocate and we seek
no courtesics. We are Democrats, not factionists
of any kind. Democrats of principles, not expe-
diency. AS such We occupy plane that the Ad-
rocate with its best efforts cannot attain to-"
We may be excused for saying there is blood on
the moon. Here already is little family tussle,
and there may be lots of fun ahead. 1t is not
good policy for a rank outsider to take hand in
family broils. Therefore we can lean back COM
posedly in our chair, take in the situation and

COMMUNICATED.
A PLEA FOR OUR COUNCIL.

The Woodstown people appear to be dis
gusted at the action of the authorities in pur-
chasing ancient fire apparatus for the Dor
ough's fire department. -Phita Record.
ancient is good as applied to the fire engine
recently purchased by our borough council
as it evidently ranks with the oldest inhabit-
ant in regard to age. Our citizens should
not give vent to any great degree of disgust,
for in this day it is just the thing to indulge
in craze for old articles in the way of
furniture, and why not in old fire engines
We have probably already the largest collec-
ton of curiosities of that kind of any place in
the state.
Our council is certainly showing desire to
do something to give our borough notoriety,
no matter if the taxpayers do manifest their
disapproval. A.

WHAT A LENIENT Father and Judge we need
to overlook or pardon the countless failures
and shortcomings with which our calendars
are marked. These lines often come to my
mind:
ALAS. long-suffering and most patient God,
Thou geedst be sureier God to bear with us
Than even to have made US.
But he Judges not as we judge each other.
He sees the broken efforts which, when we
commenced, we intended to make fair, smooth
stones in our building. He sees all the inner
life, that no human eye can watch-the strug-
gle with evil. the discouragements, the draw
backs with which some are surrounded, and
have thought that perhaps the same amount
of goodness which they attain to is of more
value in his eyes than the exemplary lives OF
those, who with naturally good dispositions
and little to try them, have not half as much
to struggle and battle with The hermit who
fees from the world and spends his time in
fasting and prayer and reading holy books,
does not lead as good life as he who lives in
the world surrounded by trials and tempta-
tons and tries to resist evil and do his duty
toward his fellow men, though he may often
fail know it is well not to dwell too much
on the thought of our faults and failures In
the past, but to strengthen our hearts with
good resolutions and determined purposes for
the present and future. Those are wise words
of admonition which the poet Longfellow
gives: Look not mournfully into the past !;
it comes not back again. Wisely improve the
present; it is thine. Go forth to meet the
shadowy future without fear and with manly
heart" Which means brave, courageous
one.
Yes, that is what many of us need, brave,
steadfast heart, which shall enable us to quell
our fears for that future which holds, we
know not what for us, but whose shadows
sometimes seem SO densely dark. H.. p.

To the Editor of the Monitor :.

To tile Editor Of the Monitor:
If it be true, as asserted by Rev. W. ID.
Mccormick, that i" the church of God is the
backbone of the rum power, then 1t follows
that were it possible to sweep the church
from our land the rum traffic would cease
Would it?
Would it not be more correct to say that the
temperance reform owes its moral courage
and strength indirectly if not directly to the
church Most if not all religious denomlna-
TONS in their highest official capacity, are
outspoken and earnest in their advocacy of
Temperance and temperance work. The
leaders of the Womans Christian Temperance
Union, which is doing SO much to-day for
this cause, are principally members of the
christian church, from which the organization
derives its name.
Take away the church, which is the bull
wark of the nations morality and the inspira-
ton of temperance and every other good
work. and the battle for God and home and
native land would very soon cease, and the
rum power and all other evil would have un-
disputed sway. Respectfully,
WIN. T. FLITCRAFT.

A WOMAN'S VIEW.

Some one must grapple with the weedy soil,
And tear away the roots that sullen cling"
"Some one must work to crush away the cruel
thorns,
And hoist the stones where serpents may be
hid
Life is too short to waste its dewy morns
Slumbering idly when the Lord hath bid"
Shame! shame. shame. an everlast-
ing, burning shame, that the mayor and coun-
cilmen of Salem, who have inflicted the crime
of drunkenness upon that beautiful city for an
other year. Yes! "three INNS" three jug
taverns," two persons ''.to sell malt liquors"
and one other person "to sell porter, ale and
beers Think of it. think of it think of
IT'LL Nine establishments, all dealing out
the " dark beverage of hell, 4" and this in the
broad daylight of the nineteenth century, by
the high sanction of the city authorities.
Yes nine nice, respectable citizens, have
granted to nine other nice, respectable citi-
zens, license to engage in a nice e. re-
spectacle (?) business. Why does this bust
ness require a license? The butcher, the
baker, the provision dealer, the shoemaker,
the harness maker, the hardware man, the
dry goods merchant each and all, may ply
his business from year to year without per-
mission from the supreme authorities; then
why may not the liquor seller? Who shall
answer? Neighbor citizens of Salem, is there
no punishment provided on the statute books
for aiders and abettors in the crime of mani :
featuring drunkards, paupers, mendicants,
lunatics, driveling idiots, imposing heavy
taxes, etc. If not, then " Something is rot
ten in Denmark" and had better be looked
into. The mayor and councilmen know full
well what the effect of this license will be-
That's the decision of the mayor and councilmen
of Salem city.

The United States have joined in the cru
SADIE against dynamite. A circular has been
sent by Attorney General Brewster to all U.
S. marshals and attorneys giving then orders
to prevent the expectation of dynamite for
criminal purposes. This step is taken by
direction of the President. In the absence of
proof, he does not believe that there is any
truth in the reports that the explosive has
been shipped from this country to be used
against life and property abroad, yet to re-
move all doubt, and to punish those engaged
in the nefarious undertaking. should it be
found that the evil really exists, the attention
of the marshals is called to the laws bearing
on the subject which regulate the shipment
of explosives and the punishment of those
who infringe their provisions and they are
directed to be diligent in their efforts to fer
ret out any offenders and bring suit against
them in the courts.
