Tie Newark Nees says that General
Clinton B. Fisk has written a letter 70 a
/ member Of The Essex County Prohibition
| Committee, in Which he says that lie has
discovered the reason Tor the manufacture
OF tie libel abont his being one of the pro-
p~rietoIs Of the Seabright Inn. He says
that 4 weli-knovn Newark journalist
Goastsd al the Freehold fair that lie was
one Of the authors OF the story. 1t Vas
not connected for an Insignificant purpose.
The scheme was something like this: The
story. based only upon ono single fact,
which fact was that General Fisk was a
guardian fof one OF the stockholders in the
hotel, was 10 be written up with elaborate
details, and at a given time it was 10 be
telegraphed simultaneously 10 a halfdozen
newspapers In this state and New York.
Then an investigation was 10 be demanded
and the thing was to create 4 great sensa-
ton just about the time William Walter
Phelps arrived home from Europe. Mr..
Phelps was TO be shown the story and as
sured that General Fisk and his party
were badly injured by the timely discovery
Of FiSks crooked private character. All
this that Mr.. Phelps might be induced to
take the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor, and the strength Of the Prohibition
party IL be decreased this year. The
scheme did not work, because the schemers
could not find any one to believe it. Cen
erai Fisk says that he has the name of the
journalist. and positive information from
honest, manly Republicans, which he can
adducc at any time TO implieate the lead
ers ia the plot.

Lee Grandall and other Greenback agi-

make their regular yisitatiens to the sey-
eral States in reference to nominations by
their party. Ii is reported that they will
urge the nomination of a Greenbaek can
di,late for Congress III the First New Jer-

In the Republican anti-Saloon Confer
enee at Chicago last week, Mr.. Dunn, o.
Maine, said: 'The Republican party was
amply able to enforce Prohibition O
course it is and has been at any time ii
the last dozen years. And being able and
at the same time refusing to do it is inst
what makes so many members OF the party
dissatisfied and ready to go over to the
Prohibitionists As between a party that
can aud won't and a party that would but
can't, we prefer to do our waiting and
hoping and working in and with the latter.
There is a great deal better prospect To-
day that the Prohibition party will event
ually be strong enough 10 enforce Prohi
bition than there is that the Republican
party, as at present constituted, will evel
be willing to do SO.

The Republican organs are felieitating
themselves upon having stamped ont the
Prohibition party in Maine. 1t must have
been done on the plan of their great twen-
" years set back of two years age. In
1884 Enstis, the Prohibition candidate for
Governor in Maine, received 1850 votes.
This year Clark. Prohibition candidate for
Governor, receives 3s72 votes, an increase
Of 2es3 or more than double on the Cub
ernatorial vote, and that in the face Of a
most ~yirulent and aggressive campaign,

We give elsew here the deliverance OF The
anti-saloon conference held at Chicago last
week. Had the Republican party possess
ed the courage two years = TO put into
its national platform the principles laid
down in this document and nominated
candidates in sympathy with them, and
had the party in Stale conventions taken
the same stand, there can be no doubt
that the political situation would be vastly
different from what it Is to-day. But that
is where the trouble commences. We be
lieye the delegates to the anti-saloon con-
ference are individually honest in their ex-
preston of sentiment on this saloon ques-
ton, but we also believe that it is utterly
beyond the bounds Of hope that they Will
succeed in inducing the party to range
itself in line with them on the question.
The members of the conference in their
speeches gave it to be understood that they
We're Republicans first, last and all the
time, which settles the whole question.
So long as they remain in the party and
there is nc danger Of the party losing them,
so long the party can afford to let them
ave their fling, and say their say, and
meanwhile the machine keeps on doing its
work in its old-time way without fear Of
losing the liquor vote, and at the same
time claiming credit as the party Of tenn
perance, because a respectable element OF
the party has declared itself against the
saloon. Genuine prohibitionists who
really want Prohibition are beginning to
see through these side shows and will not
much longer be pacified with empty words.
1t is all very well for the conference To
declare war against the salooI," but
what kind Of ammunition are they going 10
use. Where is their line Of battle? Still
in the party ranks, side by side. with the
rum-seller and the rnm-drinker? They viii
find thar poor company to fight with. Will
they succeed in turning the run men out
OF the party? We doubt it.

NJ. n.rnN-

After awhile the hands, grown weary with life:
toiling
Shall folded be across the pulseless breast
After awhile the heart with care and pain long
aching
Shall be at rest.
After awhile the feet that climb LIES rugged noun
tain,
Shall leave their prints no more along the way;
But pause beside some cool, life-gying fountain,
No more to stay.
After awhile the eyes. grown dim with ceaseles'
watching,
Amid the mists that shroud our earthly way,
Shall close awhile to greet again at waking,
clearer day.
After awhile the soul, too tired for longer staying
Where dirges make the melody of years,
Shall fall asleep to wake mid heavenly music
That knows no tears.
After awhile the hand clasps and bitter partings
That chill our hearts shall be forever DER;
And we shall be where friends who meet together
Shall part no more.
After awhile from near of never-ceasing sorrow,
Like ceaseless falling of the autumn rain,'
The heart shall be, like some storm-beaten flower,
Beyond ali pain.
All which is best-our life of tears and toiling,
The weary days whose work will never cease?
Or from it all that silent sleep unbroken
ofperfect peace?
He knoweth best who in far-seeing wisdom,
burden on the hand and heart hath cast
That we may work to know how sweet the coming
Ofrest at last.
