Tomorrow is the anniversary of our
nations birth. The day on which was
signed the immortal document that pre-
claimed our independence from tyranny
and oppression and which declaration our
forefathers made good with blood and
treasure Teach your children tomorrow
what Liberty is and how dearly it was
bought. Teach them what is to have a
country. Teach them the many advan-
tages of this favored land. Teach them
how this Union of States has been cement
ed by the best blood of the nation. Tell
them of our system of government, of our
free institutions, and instill into their
minds love of country and of freedom.
These lessons taught, the 4th of July will
have been fifty observed.

Scenes in Real Life.

The following paragraphs are taken
| from letters written by Rev. I. j.. Gardiner,
of Shiloh, to the Bridgeton Meas. They
are well worthy of perusal:
| Oh. it is hard work for men to make
that which is essentially evil, and runous
in all its tendencies, to be respectable and
harmless. How can men be so blind as to
throw the arm of protection around viper
that saps the life of society, and does
nothing but hunt down its victims and
ruin both soul and body!
Such thoughts as these would crowd
upon my mind as | noted two or three
scenes in real life upon the streets, all in
one day, exemplfying in language stronger
than pen can tell, the practical workings
of this legalizcd curse. 1t was Barnum's
day in Bridgeton. The city was full, and
opportunities to lay the snare for weak
men were greatly multiplied by the influx
of strangers It was harvest for all the
traps of death. And how we'll they sue
ceeded is told with wonderful emphasis in
the empty purse of many man, and the
Strengthened circumstances i'll many a
home, where the cash that ought to have
made home comfortable, was raked into
the till of the respectable" rumseller,
and his victim robbed of manhood and re-
duced to the level of brute.
Scene, on Bank street. A man is trying
to make his way, | know not where; it
may be to his home. He, too. has fallen
into one of the public traps that was set
along his path, on purpose to catch such as
he. This is their real business. 1t is
for such work that they ask you to give
them license. They have carried out their
purpose upon this one. till now he is un-
able to keep the sidewalk. See him,
maudin drunk, rceling from fence to post,
and from post to tree. He cannot keep
his feet much longer, but will tumble into
the ditch and sleep the sleep of the sot.
This man is probably father for he is
trying to lead a little boy by the hand.
And oh, what leader He is leading
that boy in more respects than one. Do
see the little fellow try to keep the man
from falling. Ills eyes are big with Won
der and premature marks of anxiety are
stamped upon his child face.
Oh, how near the children are to the reel
ing ranks of this drunken army. 10000 of
whom will drop into drunkards graves
this year, and so make room for the new
recruits that are coming out from the fam
lily circle of many home. How long will
society tolerate such ruinous business?
Its every tendency is to keep this army
full of victims by robbng us of our own
loved ones. Because a few men insist
upon amassing fortunes by business that
smites society with the Bosom of destruc-
ton, shall christian people fawn upon
them. and bid them go on under protection
of law?
The Monitor. [volume] (Woodstown, N.J.) 1884-1892, 1885-07-03

A new law is of great Importance to par
ties having occasion for chattel mortgages.
The law provides that all chattel mortgages
shall hereafter be accompanied, when pre-
scented for record, with an affidavit, setting
forth the consideration, and, approx
mately, the amount of the debt cf the
mortgagor. This requirementwa was omitted
in the act providing for the recording Of
this class of mortgages instead of simply
filing them, passed in 1881. The furnish
ing of false affidavit in such case is re-
garded as perjury, and punished as such.
A removal, secretion or exchange of the
goods mortgaged by the mortgagor, or a
destruction or injury of them with intent
TO defraud the mortgage, is made mis-
demeanor, punishable by fine of not
more than 81, 600 or Imprisonment at hard
labor for a period of not more than six
months.

In almost every locality in the country
the, health authorities are making rigid in
yestigation of iIsatters affecting the public
: health. We have not yet heard of any
action being taken by our local Board of
Health This either goes to show that
our town is remarkably clean, or that the
Inspector of the Board, whoever he may
be, is not doing his duty. We know that
there are disease breeding nuisances in the
Borough limits, which well-informed in
spector would at once condemn and which
should be remedied without delay. If no
one suffered from such things but those
who are responsible for them it would
make less difference, but the innocent
must suffer with the guilty and one mans
neglect may jeopardize the health of half
our citizens. Is it too much to hope that
action may be taken before it is too late?

The rumshops are VIGOROUSLY the rem
devious for all manner of rowdyism and
the rumsellers' business is to make men
idle, rowdyish and profane Pray tell me
why is it sensible ard right to urge the
prohibition of profanity and loaferism by
force of law, and all wrong, cranky" and
''fanatcal' when we seek to prohibit the
drink shops where profanity is nurtured,
and where idleness and shame is born and
bred? What is the consistency in planting
the tree, and protecting it till fruit grows,
and then attempt to cure the evil by pro-
hibiting the fruit? Better grub out the
tree, root and branch. 1t would be hard
to find a more obnoxious loafing place,
than that in front of certain ''high
license" slop shop in the very heart of the
city.
Time and time again have | seen ladies
cross the street and go around, rather than
run the gauntlet of the blear-eyed rabble
who befoul the walk with tobacco, and
pollute the air with fumes of bad whisky
Now why should our neighbor be so anx-
ious to prohibit the effect, and protect
license and cherish the causes

DISTINGUISHED, certainly. We hope
Woodstown after the Fourth will awake
to lively consciousness that she is town
with all the modern improvements. She
may not have any waterworks, she may
not have any fire engine, she may have her
street lamps unlighted the darkest nights
of the year, she may be minus street
sprinkler, she may not be able to start
shoe factory but after tomorrow let her
stand up and challenge the admiration of
the universe. She will have made noise!
She will have treated the citizens to music

claimed by the mouth of borrowed
cannon (our Salem neighbors congratulate

had a base ball match, without which no
well-regulated town can be considered
complete. She will have shown that she
can get up an Grafton when need be, and
notwithstanding our people cannot read
and have never looked at the Declaration
Of Independence that size has mayor who
can read it to them. She will have shown
her ability to set off fireworks, and unless
all signs fail as they are said to in dry
weather, she will have shown her ability
to punish her due proportion of rum.

Senator Riddleberger objected. The Re-
publican Senators gathered around Rid

draw it. saying that Bayard was more an
Englishman in principle than an Ameri-
can, and that the foreign policy of this
country ought not to be entrusted to his
hands.
The Senate then adjourned until TO-
morrow. The objection Of Riddleberger
is said to be on account of Bayard offer
