TEMPERATE TEMPERANCE.

1 The platform of the temperance Repub- | licans of New Jersey is we'll worth the atten- ton of those interested in the proper regula- | tion of the liquor traffic. It con tains much that is wise and practical.
 The temperance Republicans of New Jer-
 ssy believe that all existing laws and ordi- nances designed and enacted for the regula- ton, restriction or suppression of the traffic l in intoxicating drinks should be impartially and vigorously enforced, so long as they re- ] main laws; whenever experience and wis l dom indicate that these laws are unwise or l ineffective, they should be amended or re- pealed.
 | They declare that all questions relating to l legislation, or constitutional provision, for
 the governing, restricting or suppressing of 1 the traffic in Intoxicating drinks should, l whenever the popular voice demands it, be
 submitted to the popular judgment and de- \ cision at the ballot box, and the people of | each State, or community, should determine | for themselves whether they will permit or | authorize the liquor traffic within their juris- | dictien and under what conditions and limi- tations. They therefore regard erroneous | and unfortunate the recent decision of the | house of assembly of the legislature of l New Jersey, which denied to the people of | the several communities in that State the privilege of accepting or rejecting the local | option law.
 They also declare that it is neither wise, | practical nor necessary to insist that legisla- | tion on that subject should be restricted to | the total prohibition of the liquor traffic. They equally approve and favor strict en- i forcement and execution of all existing laws | designed to restrict the evils of intemperance, the granting of local option, the establish l ment of the highest possible rate of license, l or tax, for the sale of liquor where licenses I are granted or taxes imposed-believing that | the free choice of all these methods should | be made available, and that only by actual \ experiment. and practical trial can it be deter 1 mined what method of combatting the evil | and effecting reform will be most bene- | fcial.
 This is pretty good platform for temper l ance Republicans or temperance Democrats. Of course it will not please the prohibition ists, who are already certain that their way is the only right way.

way came roaring past. My next stop was ten miles distant. I reasoned it out in about minute that if the runaway was ditched the fact would be telegraphed ahead. If she wasn't that fact would also be clicked over the wires and I would get some sign or signal as we passed. If she was following us there would be no time to switch in, and my hair stood up at the idea of trying to outrun her. l made the ten miles in twelve minutes and half. A mile away I began footing the whistle, and as we neared the station still flying leaned out to look for the agent. He was on the platform. If he held up his hand would stop. But he did not. On the contrary he waved his arm down the line for me to keep on, and knew that we were in for it. The runaway could not be over three minutes behind, and there would not be time to turn her in on the siding here.
 The next stop was eleven miles away and | it was good piece of track. Little by lt- tie gave her more steam, and after the first mile l knew that we were ree1ing off mile every minute. There was train enough to hold us steady and the track was straight, and but for the awful roar it would have been easy to imagine we were flying. The agent ahead would let me know by signal as the other had done. He was on the plat form with @ great crowd behind him and he motioned me on. The runaway was still af- ter us. She must have gained some, but how much I could not say. It was eight miles and half to the next station, and I could not do better than forty five or forty weight miles an hour on the up grade. The runaway must catch us in the next six or seven miles. We had gone about five miles when I got the signal the
 bell rope to stop, and as soon as I had
 slowed down little brakeman came over
 the tender with instructions to stop at the
 station.
 The conductor, knowing that we could not
 outrun the wild engine, and that there was
 no show to ditch her, could think of but one
 plan to save the train. He called the pas
 sengers from the rear coach and cast it off.
 This was on the eleven-mile run and the
 coach had about two minutes to lose it's mo-
 mentum before the runaway struck it. The
 pilot ran under the platform, the end of the
 coach was lifted up and the next moment
 engine and car were in the ditch. Neither
 one of them ever repaired, the wreck be-
 ing too complete; nor did the officers of the
 law ever succeed in laying hands on Roby.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Has organized labor gained great victory in the latest performance at the shop of Peck Brothers 6 Co.,, or is organized injus- tice temporarily victorious,
 A Chicago judge has decided that the strik- CTS cannot be held for intimidating men who want to work on Sunday. Working is ille- gal on that day, and it is no crime to stop it. The Hartford Telegram observes that there is certain degree of selfshness in trades un- ionisn which must in the present order of things give way to broader principles. If this is true Typographical union No. AT will have to change radically.
 Eben D. Jordan, the well known Boston merchant, is patriotic man. On recent trip across the Atlantic he found that only one passenger aboard the steamship knew the words of ''The Star Spangled Banner" On arriving home he had an edition of the song printed and distributed among his employees, with the request that they would commit the words to memory. The other day, at the close of business, the young wom en of the establishment were collected in the hall over the store and concert was given in which
  feature.
 A San Francisco man has secured five hun dred dollars damages for street railroad company in that city from being ejected from car. The passenger offered the con- ductor 6 ive-dollar gold piece, but the con- ductor insisted upon the exact sum of five cents. The judge ruled that under the cir cumstances of the case the sum of s was not an unreasonable amount to tender in pay ment of car fare in the absence of any rsgu- lation by the company to the contrary; that such tender cannot be construed as refusal on the part of the plaintiff to pay his fare, and hence he was unlawfully ejsctsd from the car.
 Edward Atkinson, the distinguished statesman, has undertaken to solve the labor problem in this way: He demonstrates that in the city of Boston single man can live comfortably and wholesomely, and even en- joy some luxuries, on $20O per year. One room for two persons, $50 each for rent; clothing, s45; washing, s15; fuel, $10; food, s52-or $172 for every necessary, leaving $28 for opportunities. .or for the savings bank. It is not necessary to enter into the details of MT. Atkinson's plan. Suffice to say that he figures in enough of everything to satisfy any reasonable person, and declares he has purchased everything himself.

The testi- mony before the committee disc1oses the fact that instrumental surveys have been made of the proposed railway by corps Of thorough ly competent engineers. "From these sur veys it is apparent that the route is entirely practicable for the construction of the pro posed road, and that the harbors are of a character suitable to meet the wants of the commerce of the world"

sboat belonging to Farmer Christy started
all the trouble. Almost every day that
exasperating brute would get into Farmer
AstwIck's cornfeld, and his son Dan had
run himself almost to death trying to
chase it until it would go out al the bole
where it had entered, which he he :. vainlv
endeavored to discover by repeated
searches. But the cunning pig would not
betray it's secret. 1t would gallop
through the corn and the adjoining woods
tlrelessly until he laid down the fence
somewhere, and then it would run
through the gap with a snort of triumph
and trot off down the road, emitting a
series of grunts that sounded to Dan
like derisive and insulting chuckles.
The next day it would be back in the
corntield again, ready for another circus
with Dan.
The young man finally grew so exas-
perated that he went over to neighbOr
Cbristy's house and entered formal COM
plant against the shoat. MIR. Christy, an
easy, phlegmatic sort of person, expressed
his regret tor the trespass, but said in a
calm, excusing way: Clogs, you know,

that Dan, hot and angry, took otfense at,
and caused him to rejon Significantly

For couple of weeks thereafter Mr..
Astwick's cOrnfield was not troubled.
Mr. Christy had penued the brown shoat,
with some other hogs, securely in a bit
of woodland where there was enough
"mast" and good grubbing to satisfy any
reasonable pig. But the shoat was not

trance to the land of tabO0ed delights.
That time it suffered. Never before in
its young life had it known what such
keen suffering was, for Dan AsCwick,
fairly enraged at seeing it again, set his
big mastiff dog TO worry it. After sea-

wretched sh0at got out-where the fence

into ribbons and sore spots every where.
