The South Jersegman thinks Woodstown
will have to wait till fall for its new bridge
over the millpond. the county funds being
low. This is refreshing. The county did
not hesitate to expend s25. $50. GO for a new
bridge to accommodate Salem and Lower
PENIS Neck, although $4,000 of the
amount had to be borrowed to do it with.
Nobody complained. however. Salem City
paid So, 266 county tax in 1884; Lower
PENIS Neck paid $ 2,091; total, $40, 357:
P~ilesgrove paid IS, 5S5. The Woodstown
bridge has been officially decided unsafe.
1t has long been an eyesore. 1t is only a
question of economy i'll the long run
whether it shall be replaced with a wooden
timated to cost about 81, 900 and one
estimate is as low as $4,000. Whether
this is the figure or not we are not now
prepared to say. If it cost $40, 900 ii
would not be out of proportion to the cost
of the Salem bridge, compared with the
tax paid by the sections accommodated by
it. But that is not the point. AS a mat
ter of fact there is no comparison between
the two bridges in point of cost, that at
Salem being a long bridge over tide water
with a draw, while ours is only a ''little
one for a cent" The question is whether
we shall have it or not. Nobody
wants the Freeholders to be extravagant.
What the people of Woodstown do want is
a new bridge, of iron, if that be in the in
terest of economy, and we think it is.
And we think furthermore that for the
South ~Jerseyaaaa to whistle the proposition
down the wind as ''preposterous," is, in
view of all the circumstances, a little
cheeky. Fortunately the Freeholders have
the deciding vote.

A Wise Man on License Laws.

The church of to-day. much more the
church of the future, needs to take to its
heart the duty of combining and massing
its forces against that gigantic atrocity,
that diabolical conspiracy, that nameless
monstrom horrendum of christian civili-
cation, that mothers nine-tenths ofthe woes
and sorrows which blight and curse our
modern age-the traffic in intoxicants,
which hides its deformity under forms of
law. How long hal the face of our
christian age blister with this worse thar
pagan shame? Has the virtue of our time
degenerated SO low that we do not even
blush at the legislated traffic in the souls
of our own children? That by the very
doors of our homes and our temples the
army of miscreants should by authorize
ton of laws, made by Christian law-givers,
prosecute a work of murder and death {?
Are we reduced to the shame of admitting
that a civilization which has grown up
about our affairs is impotent to cure the
evil? How can we go to the heather with
this cancer of worse than heather infamy
fostering in our bosom? Our church,
from the first, has borne testimony against
it; but we must renew our protest with
louder and more solemn emphasis, until
our land is rescued. The exorcism of this
demon, this vampire that has seized and
preys on the very vitals of the nation. de-
mands the combined energy Of the church
and the govemment.-Bishop r. $. Foster,
of the Methodist Episcopal church.

women AT IT.,

Miss Elizabeth Greenwood. speaking in
this city on temperance. gave an account
of two ladies of the first circles whom she
saw drunk in a street-car as they were re-
turning from a champagne dinner. Two
days later a young lady was found in Mad
ison Avenue, this city, very drunk. Her
elegant mel's-hair shawl, her gold watch
encrusted with rubies, her gold tooth
pick, and her shell portmonnaie, was
taken charge of by the police, and she was
locked up all night, which she spent in
yelling. The next morning another wo-
man, in explaining her actions to the Judge,
said: II was drunk. make a fool of N.Y.
self whenever | am in that condition.
She made herself a fool, not while she was
in that condition but when, being sober,
she drank what made her drunk.-Chrts-

A lady called in our store on
Thursday to purchase wall

been told by the junior member
OF the firm that there was none
kept in the town, he offering to
procure her some in a few DAYS.
We had in our north front
window a few weeks ago sew

The borough Councils are supposed to
be the servants of the people and not the
masters. They owe it to the people to let
them know just what they are doing with
their, the peoples, money. As the law
suit on hand is no doubt being run on the
basis Of personal spite and for the gratifi-
cation of a few, we would suggest they
give us a statement of the cost thus far.

Ladies' to the Rescue of Prohibition.

Sioux CITY, April 1S.-In opposition to
the petition of the business men of Sioux
City against the strict enforcement of the
prohibitory liquor laws, the ladies of Sioux
City to the number of nearly 600 have uni
ted in a protest against the liberation of
open saloons. Nearly all the leading ladies'
OF the city have signed this protest, and the
Journal of tomorrow morning will publish
the paper with a full list of the signers'
names. The business mems portion claim
ed to represent $40, 900, 600. The ladies say
that their protest represents nearly five
hundred husbands and fathers and more
than 1000 children. The signatures of the
protest were all secured in less thar twelve
hours. The ladies say with additional time
it would have been easy to have largely
swelled the list. One leading lady who was
on the committee to obtain signatures. said
it was better than a prayer meeting.

Since our entrance upon the more active
labors of temperance work we have be-
come thoroughly convinced Of the useless
ness OF trying to save the drunkard and at
the same time sustain the system that
makes the drunkard-just as useless as it
was to save the Union with slavery. A lit
tie sentiment and charity for the inebriate
and his family is poor compensation for a
cruel wrong done by advocating and vot-
ting for the continuance Oft the liquor traffic.
Whisky is in politics and it is there that
the temperance ballot must meet it and de-
molish it. just so long as temperance is
kept out of politics, and whisky is al
lowed to stay in, the revenue from which
is devoted to bribing voters and law
makers, we may talk till the sun grows
cold and we will not accomplish our pur-
pose. How long will christian people

And talk such silly stuff
About the rights of others,
And what we ought to do!

And got so nicely through.

With letters large and bright,
And let the passers by all know

To get a nice warm drink and spend

Who stare and scold and irown

As any one i'll town
To buy and sell
And get gain. As we'll
Might you stop the baker
Or butcher at his stall;
They furnish things for eating,

II seems the fashion here
To have one, though l must confess
always thought it queer.
There's nothing here to hide, I'm sufc,
With everything so clean and pure.

How the law and I agree.

To all the darling ones.

On many happy homes,

For loved ones tired feet.

Whom others long TO greet.
Iicensed-to fill the prison cells
With crime and woe and death,
L~icensed-to wither and to blight,
And curse with poisonous breath.
