The Sentiment at Hartley

MIR. EDITOR An enthusiastic, and
1t is to be hoped, effective temperance
meeting was held on Thursday even
ing at Hartley, about ten miles from
Smyrna. The immediate cause for the
meeting was the protest which the peo-
pie naturally make against an effort
made to establish a saloon in this
thrifty little village.
The principal address of the evening
was made to a crowded house by Rev,
I. o. Ayres, of Denton, Md. The
basis Of the address was taken from the
Bible i'll that very appropriate and sug-
gestive passage found in Hal. ii; Is ;
Woe unto him that giveth his neigh
nelghbor drink, that puttest thy bottle
to him, and makcst him drunken also.
that thou mayest look on his naked
ness" The speaker followed up the
terrible history of the whiskey traffic
until it seemed solemn question how
any man could engage in it.
The pastor, Rev. A. S. Mowbray, fol-
lowed in brief address on the practi-
cal issue before the people-saloon or
no saloon. The good people of that
vicinity are setting a worthy example
to other communities, in that they are
sending to the court a hearty remOn-
STRANGE.
Let the good work go on. $.

TIE Democratic papers of this State
as we'll as a large number elsewhere.
are sAddling the cause of their defeat
in Ohio, on President Cleveland. for
what they call his namby- -pamby policy
in regard to filling the offices. They
point to Gov. HOadley's election two
years ago by 1900 majority and his
defeat this by II 600 as a rebuke of Mr..
Cleveland's civil service policy. The
friends of the latter, however, find
Gov. Hoadley's defeat very largely in
himself and his administration. One
of our State papers takes advantage OF
the occasion to eriticise the administra-
ton on other points, and says:
In sizing up President Cleyeland,s
administration, we fnd it pregnant
with promises, but poverty stricken in
its performances. There is not a men,
ber of the Cabinet that has not de-
nOuneed either in the Senate Chamber
or on the stump the perniciOus habit of
Republican officials accepting railroad
passes and other gratuities from rail-
road corporations. yet it is authOrita-
lively stated that not only the Presi-
dent, but every one of his constitutional
sdVisers travel as dead heads
for years. the very men who are now
Ia the Cabinet, YarOtested loud and long
against the seat Of government being
transferred in the Summer SEASON to a

SAYS a writer in the Century for
October: THE time will come when
the term independent
journalism will be like IAN impartial
judiciary'-the partisan journal being
as abnormal as a partial Judge" The
author may be entirely correct in his
Judgment. Certainly he is correct in
declaring that the journals of to-day
are becoming notably independent in
their comments on public affairs. For
q long time it has been deemed the
proper thing for party paper to gloss
over and excuse the errors, the short
comings, the crimes of the particular
party it uphOlds, but times and the
temper of mankind have changed.
The journal which pursues such a
course to-day lOOses influence even in
its own party. The people want the
truth however unpalpatable that truth
may be, and the journal that most re-
ligiOusly gives the truth, now gains far
more credit and support for its honesty
than it ever did for zeal under the old
order Of things.

THE system of railrOading is so COM
plete that the accidents are now mostly
the result of blundering by the tele-
graph operators. Such was the cause
of the accident at the Meadows, near
Jersey City, on Monday, when ten per-
sons were killed and more than that
number badly hurt. Pratt, who had
charge of the signal station, acknowl-
edges that he gave wrong dispatch,
causing an express train to plunge into
an emigrant train with dire results.
He is said to be an experienced opera
tor, but at an unfortunate moment he
blundered. He has been arrested and
held for manslaughter, declining to
make tracks" as some have done.

that they count the sporting privileges

just as their fruit and their grain. pouI-
try or stock, are their own, and no one
has right to disturb them in the en-
jOyment Of the one any more than in
the other A number each year post
notices cautiOning gunners from tres
passing upon them, and those who dis
regard such notice do it at their peril.
The law is ample and stringent for the
protection of farmers against all tres
passers. Therefore gunners will only
be on the safe side by obtaining per
mission from the owners Of lands to
hunt thereon.

The increased Prohibition vote, or
third party in Ohio, some 10000, was a
surprise to the politicians, and greater
surprise that it was about equally divi-
deh between the two old parties. Here
tofnre it has come largely from the
Republicans, and that so many Demo
Gratis voted it this year, is accounted for
on the ground that many of them would
not vote HOadley because he allied
himself so closely with the saloons.

THE remark that all sects are becom-

that the dying and dead Cardinal Nc

before accorded a prelate, a New York

stop their deliberations, and offer
prayer for his recovery. This however,
can be said of him, that he attended
strictly to the religious duties of his
