THEIR DESTINY.

A few weeks since, an elderly gentle.
man from California entered the office .o
a prominent Mormon, and greeted him
as friend of old. The elderly gentleman
had once been a resident of Utah and
knew of many things here. Not only had
he been resident of Utah but he had
been Morrisite, and he had INDUCED in
the ways and hopes of that sect. This
elderly gentleman, as he greeted his
friend, addressed him in these words
G -, | cannot but think there
is much in the Biblical saying
AS ye mete it out unto others so
shall it be meted out unto you.' The peo-
pie of Utah are fast drifting to the same
point at which the Morrisites arrived,
and the destiny of the Mormon people is
the same as was the destiny of the Nor
risite people, for the causes which led to
their destruction are now working the
destruction of the Mormon people. 4"
Such, in substance, were the words of
this former resident of Utah. Everyone
In Utah is familiar with the history of the
Morrlsite people. They became fanatical
to degree that rarely has aparallel.
Their fanaticism led them to open
violations of the law, and these
violations were committed under the pre-
text of religious right That those who
claimed such right were sincere and hon
est in their convictions, no one ever
doubted. But were such violations and
usurpations to be permitted because they
were done under the claim of religions
right? When these violations had be-
come too notorious and too fragrant the law
stepped in to yindicate its authority, and
it became necessary to assert that author
lty by force of arms. Are not the Nor
mon people doing the same thing that the
Morrisite people did, and under the same
pretensions? The Mormon people are
fast reaching the fanatical stage
at which the Morrisite people
fell, and if they persist in their
violations OF the law and assume to
set up law higher than the law OF the
land, there can be but one outcome to all
this matter. 1t is possible that the blind
ness and fanaticism of Mr.. Taylor and
Mr.. Cannon may lead them to pursue the
same course that Morris and Banks pur-
sued, but if they do, their fate would in
10 wise be different from that OF those
teluded men. Would it not be we'll for
he people of Utah to reflect upon their
ioings, and compare their attitude
owards the General Government with
he attitude OF the Morrisites towards the
territorial Government? We have heard
thers compare the present attitude of
he Mormons to the attitude of the Nor
lsites. and they have seen the fate OF the
lormons the same as this elderly gentle
IAN from California sees it. Let the
eople pause ere it be too late.

The probabilities are that China will
demand damages for the recent outrapes
on Chinamen in this country. The Gov.
ernment may indemnify China, but such
indemnity cannot wipe out the disgrace
OF the Rock Springs massacre. 1t is pre-
tended by some that the Marquis Tseng
Will make an adverse report on that mas
sacre because of British influence and the
Jealousy of England on account OF Amer
lean prestige in China. Would the truth
OF the matter raise America in the esti-
nation OF China if it were not for Eng

The agitation in Canada consequent on
the execution of Riel continues unabated.
The burning in efigy of the prominent
Government men of Canada by such a
fanatical and excitable people as the
French Canadians, means more than it
would with another people. Louis Riel
hanged is much more of power than
Jefferson Davis free,

THE Duchess of Marlborough and Lady

THERE is sort of jaunty juvenility in the
editorial pages of the DEMOCRAT which in
dlcates considerable greenness, and shows
that the writer needs the attention of the
schoolmaster as well as the experience which
brings rpeness.-NeUs.
Well, is not the jaunty juvenility of the
DEMOCRAT better than the senseless senil-
ity of the News, and its greenness pre-
ferable to the experience of the News
which was never ripe but always rotten?

list. Politically. Let us see. No one has
ever before questioned the right of any
body of men forming themselves into a
party, unless their purpose was revolution
airy: and prohibition certainly cannot be
regarded as revolutionary in the proper
sense OF that word. Then why the oppo-
sition to it. and why the stigma and odium
heaped upon it. as never before upon any
new party at its inception? Why not con
cede to it its right to live and move and
have a being, as any other party?

hearing from the pulpit? Let US see. b
subject of temperance naturally divides it
self into three points

Cd, the temptations to it; and

On the two first points all are agreed.
The evils cannot be sold. The temptations
are tremendous. As To the remedy, differ
ent answers are given. One says, moral
suasion:'' and we give him a hearing from
our pulpits. Another says, the Gospel is
the great panacea. and of course we give
him our pulpits. Another brings the
pledge: and We open the pulpit door and
let him in. Another, focal option; and
nobody objects, and he walks in. \ fifth

where Game il Plenty.

There is one family in New Jersey that
enjoys game dinners. and always finds
plenty Of material at hand without lum-
bering about the country with a heavy
gun and being weighted down with coarse
ammunition. An empty game bag is some
thing unknown; in fact, they often have a
surfeit of flesh pouring in their domicile, a
portion of which would tempt the appetite
of the most fastidious. The kitchen al
ways contains either ducks, brant geese or
other similar birds. The family are light
house keepers at Atlantic City, and have
taken as many as 800 birds in a single
night, caught between the netting and the
windows ofthe lantern. They are attracted
by the strong light and dash against the
netting in a m%addening way.

The following from one of our valued
subscribers in Philadelphia strikes a
tender chord in We editors breast.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. %, 1885.
EpIToR WooDsTowS MONITOR.
DEAR SIR At last l find this para
graph marked with pencil, indicating
my first years subscription to the MovI-
TOR has expired with this number.
A year ago when l was invited to add
my name with accompanying SD to list
of subscribers to your paper, l did 50
rather reluctantly, feeling almost sure that
the MONITOR, like most country news
papers, would be but a tame and spirit
less affair at best, but | have learned to
hail its weekly coming with pleasure for
various reasons.
First, Woodstown. or its vicinity, is my
native place, although | have not seen
much of it or the people during 20 or 30
years past; still, the names recalled and
events happening and duly chronieled in
the MONITOR, recall many past and pleas
ant "reminiscences. Add to this the bril-
liant and pungent style of your local
editor, together with your good Judgment
and taste in the use of your scissors, all
goes to make the MONITOR a welcome
visitor to my office and home.
Nor does the espousal Of the cause of
temperance detract from its value, for in
the language Of st, John, ANY one with
any brains must know the demoralizing and
ruincus effect rum has upon the brain and
body and l do not think Woodstown has
been an exception to the blighting effects
of rum in the years that are past.
What the future may develop in regard
to this dread curse, remains to be seen
only by those who shall live long after We
have passed away, for rum is such a potent
factor in our present political system, and
the base deeds which rum inspires are so
necessary TO the scheming politicians sue
cess, that much time will yet elapse before
the nation will become fully aroused to the
heroic measures necessary to be adopted 10
crush this evil.
These thoughts are forced upon me,
although l am only a temperate, instead Of
a temperance man. but even with the limi-
ted amount of brains granted me. [ can
plainly see that ram is the great curse Of
the age.

Mr.. MONITOR - Have your readers
thought how the testimony of His Excel
lency, the Mayor, and members of his hon
orable Council at the late Becker trial re-
fleets on the good name and standing of
our public house and its landlord ? Ev-
eryone knows of the drunkenness and dis
order on our streets every Saturday night,
and that every now and then some poor
fellow is sent up for a year and dis
graced for life, and Woodstown (whether
we like it or not) is getting to be the
laughing stock for the county at our courts,
and somebody is at fault for bringing this
disgrace on cur place, and ruin of II cit
liens. Previous to the above trial, if any
a~llusion was made to the hotel, we were
met with holy horror and the stout reply
that the fellows go and get drunk ut the
low groggeries and poor Mr.. French gets
the blame Tor it.
What answer shall be given now after all
these honorable men" shakespeare have
solemnly testified to the immaculate char
acter Of Becker's place, and the court, Of
course, has so decided i? If Becker is limo
cent, somebody else is guilty. This upsets
the former protestations regarding the
WWoodstown House, and reflects most Sc
verely on it. Which view will gentlemen
of the Council take? Is Becker guilty,
after all !? or, shall the blame rest solely on
the Landlords pate?

Wet. U. and Election

The ladies' of the Woodstown w. G. T.
C., added a novel feature to election day
doings. Following the example of their
sister organizations in other places, which
has met the approval of the state and
national societies, they established a re-
freshment stand near the polls in the north
ward and from morning to the close of
the polls furnished free to all applicants
sandwiches and hot coffee, which. in the
chilly state of the atmosphere. proved
acceptable to quite a number of voters of
all parties. An attempt was made to pre-
vent this action on the part of the ladies
on the preteXt that it was an Infringement
of the law against bribery, and they were
advised to remove their stand, but they
were not to be frightened and announced
their intention of keeping it where it was,
so long as the weather did not get too
cold. 1t takes a colder day than last Tues
day to discourage the workers in the w.
C.. r. Z. of Woodstovn.

Probably most of the invites will be loath

h Game Laws.

There is so much talk about the changes
in the game laws that a word or two re-
garding them will be of interest. The
last legislature made DO alteration in the
season for shooting any kind of game. 1t
is lawful now, if the owner of the land will
permit it, to shoot quail, pheasant, rabbit,
squirrel, ployer and woodduck until De-
cember 31st; rail bird, reed bird and
prairie chicken until December LIST. and
woodcock until December 18th. 1t is not
lawful, at any time, to take any game bird
with a snare or trap, the penalty for each
bird so taken being SIS. There is no law
against taking rabbits with snare or trap.

m.necttou of the west Jersey.

The annual inspection of the West jer-
sey and Camden and Atlantic roads and
their branches was completed last week.
The tour was made by the officials of the
roads and the sixty-seven section foremen
in an open car, running at the rate of four
miles an hour. The foremen We're diyid-
ed INTO three committees. Committee Nc.
/ inspected the line, surface and joints.
No. 2. the ballast, ties, switches and sid
ings. No. 5, the bitches, road crossings,
station grounds and policing. Each conf
mittee marked on the cards furnished by
tile railroad company the degrees of merit
of that part of the road which was assign
ed to it, in each section, and from these
reports the general average of excellence
will be made. There are over a thousand
of these cards to be examined, and the
final reports will not be ready until Deeem-
Der LIST. Then prizes will probably be
~awarded.to the best three sections on the
road.
Chief Engineer Abercrombie said that
the inspection showed that the roads We're
in better condition than ever before. The
chances Of promotion for the foremen are
according to their record, which is kept at
the office Of the company.
