There are.f few papers in this State
indeed which have not had the man
illness and caudor TO come ont bold
y and express an opinion ON one
side or the other Of the liquor 9ues-
ton, and especially is this true OF
those published in towns and
counties where the question has
been agiLated or legislated upon ;
but, as far as our observation goes,
the Oxford papers-published in
the State University town where the
sale of liquor is prohibited by
special act of the Legislature-are a
striking exception. 1t is true we
have sometimes noticed articles
copied into our Oxford cotempora
RES from other sources which
smelled strongly Of having been
written by whisky drummers)
charging that prohibition in Ok
ford is u failure and that the town
is well supplied with tiger shops
where all the liquor you want can
be easily had"; and then we have oc-
casionally seen editorial paragraphs
in the Oxford papers Insinuating-
but nothing more-that there may
possibly be such things in Oxford
as few tiger shops" and indicat-
ing by their tone that the aforesaid
papers are slyly winking at them,
but more than this we never see or
hear through the Oxford press,
which can deal out columns of
editorial information and opinions
on every other aginablc subject.
There is evidently something rotten
somewhere either the Falcon and
the Eagle, on account of their sym
patby .or the liquor traffic in geuer
al are willing to stand silently by
and see their town and people SIAN
dered as habitual violaters of law,
even aiding IN this to the slight ex-
tent as above mentioned; or else, see

in fact dismal failure, haven't the
vetebra to stand up and mapfully
declare and prove it aud demand
the laws repeal. Which is it g?

TnE LEADER has often felt compliment
ed 10y the promptness and good will with
which most of its subscribers have paid
their dues, but there are q few persons
whose names are on our books to whom
the paper has been regularly sent for a
long time, and to whom statements have
been mailed, who have never paid us q
cent OF in any manner acknowledged
their obligation. We now wish to say to
all such delinquents that while we would

tory OF the country and which

ed its slow bat substantial growth,
and it sits firmly in the saddle for
the new year, reins we'll in hand,

about $4,000 ; no insurance NJ. J.

up in February, 1882, and destroyed
by the cyclone of 1883, and now it is
gone again.

Habitual constipation is not only one of
the most unpleasant, but at the same

of the human system, and is but fore
runner of disease, unless removed. This

4 D:lsuarslly Act.

This morning at about two o'clock
after Frank Broad had closed his
place of business, and was on his way
home. going up Allen street and turn
ing the corner of Seventh he smelt a
strong odor of coal oil continuing on
his way up Seventh street, he was
startled to find pile of WOODEN rage
and sacks saturated with coal oil on
fire up against the side wall of the
large frame building belonging to
Pasquale Nigro. Frank with con-
siderable presence of mind hastily
pulled off his Overcoat and smothered
the flames. Upon investigation it was
found that five gallon can of coal
oil had been emptied on the rags, and
that the side of the house had been
saturated with the oil. The fiend who
mpde the attempt if caught should
be strung up. Had it not been for
Frank Broak and others just hap
pening to be on the spot and
squelching the flames it is more
than likely that the whole block would
this day be mass of smOuldering
ruins, as the entire block is composed
of frame buildings. A reporter was
informed this afternoon that the po-
lice had clue to the perpetrator, and
it is hoped that he will be brought to
| justice. Since the above was in type
the police have been dilligent in their
investigations, and it is thought that
they have spotted their man, said
man not living very far from Comet
saloon.

The OF Renewal VigOr

The most important step in this
process is the restoration OF the func-
tons of digestion and assimilation to
full and uninterrupted exercise, since
it is upon their activity alone that the
system can depend to replenish its
dwindling store of energy. Among
tonics which the voice of the people
and the high professional endorsement
approve as reliable, Hestetter's
Stomach Bitters has long heen recog-
nized as the best. Its properties as i
medicated stimulent commend it to
all persons suffering from the effects
of fatigue. mental or bodily, as an inn
mediate means OF counteracting their
effects; and in cases where loss of
vigor is attributable to such weaken
ing chronic causes as dyspepsia, af-
fections of the kidneys and bladder,
and the infirmities peculiar to age, it
produces permanently beneficial re-
suits. Those twin obstacles to health
and vigor, liver complaint and consti-
patton, are also removed by it. 1t
also prevents and cures malarial
disease. n9 MI
