more attention than usual of late. There was
talk again about increased earnings and divi-
dend next winter. The coal stocks were in
elined to be heavy throughout the day,

actual price Of coal in the afternoon stimulated
she buying, and there was some improvement
in quotations. The Northern Pacific stocks

Bridgeton pioneer., 1886-10-28

Repeated attempts have been made
to obtain from Benjamin F. Howey,
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, some qualification of the plank
inserted in the platform adopted at
the recent State Convention in favor
of submitting the temperance question
to vote of the people. They have
ANONYMOUSLY failed. Mr.. Howey
stands squarely by the principles he
was nominated to uphold, and, if
elected, will carry them out to the
letter. The displeasure of the third
party, political Prohibitionists, whose
avowed principle is to ''slnash the Re
publican party and build up a new
one on the ruins" can be better inl-
agined than described. Sincere, hon
est temperance men, however, must
appreciate Mr.. Howey's attitude on
this important question.

BRIDGEToN, Oct. 25th.

Ex-Freeholder John Lillis, of Jersey
City, owns one of the most peculiar
freaks of nature ever seen. 1t is a
chicken with human face, and with
feet so misshapen as to be more like
Jumps of dirt than pedal eXtremities.
The face is almost perfect. Instead of
a beak, a common nose shows itself,
underneath which is mouth, regularly
proportioned, the upper jaw of which
is armed with set of teeth. The face
is bare of feathers, but Ii ght whiskers
adorn either side of the face, while at
tached to the chin is heavy beard.
Otherwise the chicken appears to be a
fowl. 1t came to New York along
with lot of others, and was bought
by George King, peddler, who pre-
sented it to the Freeholder. The fowl
at present is at the corner of Hoboken
and Oakland avenues, but will proba-
bly, be secured by some museum.

Eugene Tyler, of Adairville. KY, is
not quite as full of electricity as the
young man who set things on fire by
looking at them, but he is pretty well
charged 1t is said that after rubbing
his hands together quickly, he can
place them on mans shoulders and
control him completely, and that no
one has yet been found who can re-
sist the influence thus exerted. He
can also light a gas jet by an electric
spark sent from his finger two feet
away from the burner.
Bridgeton pioneer., 1886-10-28
SOME PLAIN QUESTIONS.

Editors Of Pioneer:
| have a few questions | would like
to ask the voters for Prohibition. Is
there any consistency in the prayers
of a man who, when the temperance
candidate was defeated, said: Praise
the Lord; the Prohibition party has
done something" When asked what
he meant, he said: THAT is sign we
have got start. Well send men to
Trenton and they will make laws for
u.s." Are those in favor of Prohibition
as ignorant as this man? He thought
that an amendment to the constitution
of the State could be passed by those
who framed the amendment, and we
had to submit. He did not know that
the people of the State decided that
question. Is there any judgment
shown in selecting man who may
soon be called from the county and
interests of the people of our county?
Is be better fitted to fill a position of
which he knows nothing in fact, than
man like |. T. Nichols, whose record
shows he is fully qualified for the po-
sition? When you can satisfy the
| thinking voters that man whose call
| ing prohibits his taking political
| office, and whose education is not a
political one, is the best man to repre-
sent the body polite, then, and not
until then, will such men be elected to
office. For what are the third party
striving? Do they want local option
and prohibition? Some tell me that is
| just what they want. What kind of
men are they? Have we not decided
at the polls in favor of local option by
electing temperance councilmen? Have
they not prohibited the sale of intox-
icating drinks? What more do they
want? We reiterate the self evident
| fact, that office, and office only, is
what the majority are after. We do
not condemn all, because we know
many are deluded by the leaders into
thinking that they will carry every
thing before them on the day of cleo
tion. Study this matter from all stand
points, and not from one alone, and
you will then be able to vote as you
| should, and not be led around by set
of would-be political Office holders.

Much as the Democratic side-shows
desire to prove the truth of their asser-
tions to the effect that Cumberland
county is full of anti-Nichols Republi-
cans, the opposition to that gentleman
exists only in the narrowly circulated
organs whose utterances are merely
expressions of personal spleen and dis
comfiture. Nichols friends are legion,
and they know it.
Bridgeton pioneer., 1886-10-28

The look of utter despair depicted
upon the countenances of leading Re
publicans all over the State when it
was announced that the Chesilhurst
Tribune had bolted the Democratic
nomination and would advocate the
election of Howey for Governor has at
last been dispelled. That hebdomadal
will use all of its agricultural imple-
ments of war in support of the men
who so unceremoniously made chair
cushion of its boomlet for Andrew AL
bright. Thus day by day Howey
draws nearer and nearer the executive
chair.

The Gloucester City Mutual Build
ing Association at its meeting Tues
day night failed to hear from the
bondslnen of its late treasurer, A. j.
Greene, in reference to his indebted
ness of 81, $3.50, and decided to wait un-
til the next meeting before taking
action.

Remember that vote for Nichols,
and Hawkins is vote for
a Republican United States Senator.
The Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1885-1886, 1886-08-12

years there have been more than $4,000
shade trees set out by commission
which is appointed and paid by congress
for this purpose. Standing on the hills
above Washington and looking over it,
the city now appears hke a great garden
with the houses peking their heads out of
the foliage. Ten years from now it will
be 5000 acres of forest, and it will be the
greatest shade tree city of the world.
Trees grow rapidly in the Washington
soil. They are well taken care of and
are planted about thirty feet apart all
over the city as soon as the streets are
graded. The government puts tree boxes
around them, and if one happens to die
1t is at once replaced by another. These
trees are of all kinds of shade trees which
one finds in the north and south. They
have already materially affected the cli>
mate of Washington city, and it is cool
er now by far than it was decade ago.
