is as follows:
y conference Of members OF the Repub-
lean party of New Jersey was held in Jcr-
sey City, May Sth, for the discussion of
the relation and attitude of the Republi-
can party toward the temperance reform

sion the following preamble and resolu-
tions, offered by Major u. X PaHgborn

Gus extent our local, municipal govern
ments, and which is used for purposes
inlmicable To the material prosperity and
moral welfare Of the community; and
WHEREAS, The Republican party OF this
State and of the country is 10y its princ
pies, traditions and ayowed purposes
pledged to such a course Of action on all
public questions rs will favor whatever is

practical measures for the restriction of the
liquor traffic within the narrowcst practic-
able limits, and for the enforcement Of all
laws for the regulation, restriction or sup
preston Of the traffic.

When buyers take occasion
to compare our prices with others

is always in our favor. 1t may

" oman's worst Enemy.

Many are the woes of women; but of the
worst foes that women have ever had to
encounter, liquor stands at the head. The
appetite for strong drink in men has spoiled
the lives Of more wOmen-ruinCd more
homes for them, scattered more fortunes
for them, brought to them more shame.
SORROW and hardship-than any other evil
that exists The country numbers tens
of tlousands-nay hundreds of thousands
of women, who are widows to-day, and
sit III hopeless weeds because their hus-
bands have been slain by strong drink
And there arc hundreds Of thousands of
homes scattered over the land, in which
women lead lives of torture, going through
all the agonics of suffering that lie b etween
the extremes of fear and despair, because
those whom they love, love liquor better
than they do the women they have vowed
to love. There are women by thousands
who dread to hear at the door the step that
once flied them with pleasure; that step
has learned to reel under the influence Of
seductive poison. There are women groan-
ing with pain, while we write these words.
from bruises and brutalities inflicted by
husbands made mad by drink There can
be ne cxag9eration III any statement mad
ln regard to this matter, because no human
imagination can create anything worse
than the truth, and no pen is capable of por-
traying the truth. The sorrow ola wife with
Il drunken husband, or mother with a
drunken son, are rs near the realization of
hell as can be reached, in this world at
least. The shame, the Indignation, the
grief the sense of disgrace for herself
and children, the poyerty--and not I'M
frequently the beggary--thc fear and the
fact OF violence, the lingering, lifelong
struggle and despair Of countless women
with drunken husbands are enough to
make all women curse liquor, and engage
uHitedlY 10 expose if evcIyw here rs the
worst enemy Of the SEX Eachdnge.

The follow ing interesting letter was re-
ceivcd from one of our old subscribers this
week and we take the liberty of publishing
it:
Please find enclosed payment to renew
my subscription to your excellent paper.
And be assured that do not use the word
excellent in merely conventional or in
any flattering sense, for among all the
secular weekly newspapers published ont
side of the large cities, coming under my
notice, the MONITOR is by all odds the
cheapest, brightest and best
In these days when the average news
paper seems to have no mission to speak
of beyond toadying to political ring and
a whisky ring, it is refreshing to find one
with enough manly character to stand for
the right--having a higher mission than
to hold up the liquor seller "a model
citizen and to aid him in elccting his paid
and bloated agent to the legislature.
So long as the people of New Jersey are
denied the privilege Of voting under a
local option law there will be pressing
need of such papers as the MONITOR: yes,
and until then need of third party, toe.
The ringmasters of the two old parties
have been crying out against third party,
because, forsooth. they are warm friends
of the temperance cause, and yet with as
SSH stupidity they persist in saying, we
will not allow you to vote against the liquor
traffic Wonderful friendship theirs, to
the Temperance cause, very. There should
be ne need of third party in any State,
and | sincerely regret thai there is any.
A wise local option law would certainly
obviate the present need SO far as the State
is concerned. The politicians of the South
see this and to save their parties from dis
ruption they place no obstacle in the way
of obtaining such law. But every added
year of history is making more and more
manifest that New Jersey and New York
must have third party or submit to the
dictation and slavery of whisBey ring.
The wonder is that good men Of both the
Republican and Democratic parties have
been fooled SO long by the false pretences
of their blind leaders. Surely the time
has now come for them to break ranks and
fall into Zinc under the prohibition banner.
II they do, the fault will not be theirs of
disruptng the old parties. Surely it is
high time for the liquor sellers of Philadcl-
phia, New York and in your State,
to learn that their blood money cannot con
troll New Jersey politics and block the
wheels of reform and progress.
