The journal seems to know more than
the supreme Court when it says the local
option law gives prohibition. And as to
closing saloons, the law has not yet closed
a saloon In New Jersey. Nor will it or
can it operate to close saloon the proprie-
tor of which chooses to sell to be carried
away from the premises. And this is the
law for which Republicans ask Prohibi-

Yi,e Democracy OF &e% Jersey IA lAiAt-
asaee with fsle EsuEn Power
Il is nov perfectly well known that the
Democratic managers in NeW Jersey, &c
spite tie remeastrauees oi the better class
OF their party journals, have made an am
.ance with the hrceing and saloon influence
in which the pfioe 70 be paid by the Dem
naratic Darty for the support of the saloons
q If tbe combination is successful, TO De
the reneal Of the high license local option
act in many cases the alliance has gene so
far.as TO put Legislative candidates IN the
field who are not Only pledged to the repeal
Of fbat law but who are themselves liquor
dealers For example. Hoover and Mnl-
obler Democratic candidates for Assembly
men from Warren county, are both saloon
lfeepers and pledged 20 vote for repeal OF
tbe act The same is true in Atlantic eoun-
~ whore the Democratic nominee is
lidror seller and sworn foe to all lcglsla-
lion to fax tho saloons. In Hudson conn
fy. as a matter Of course, every Democrat
who has any chance Whatever for nomina-
fion FOR ibe Assembly must needs be eth
er A saloonkeepor. or 4 blatant advocate OF
free whisky, and all that that implies. In
Essex county. Joseph Schmez, Democratic
candidatein the Eighth district, is saloon
keeper who has been complained OF ioF
violations of the law; and George W, ed
epmaver. nominated for the Tenth Assem-
bly, district, is brewer, and-neeessarily
"a sworn foe 80 all legislation designed to
restrict the lqaor traffic. The king pin

,he man who makes and unmakcs Judges
and others civil efiieers. and who has the

ton and liquor selling.
The whole business IS in charge et Leon
Albeit. Democratic candidate Tor United
States Senator, and paid counsel of the
state liquor sellers association. This is
sorry spectacle for respectable Democrats.
The alliance has 50 low an estimate OF the
people Of New Jersey as to proclaim its
confidence in its ability to buy victory
for free run in the state. 1t claims to
actually s'own'' Il large class OF voters,
who, it believes, viii vote FORTS candidates
from sympathy and aniliation with the rum
selling interest in this there is good rea-
son TO believe that the alliance will find
itself mistaken. When great Democratic
county like Warren votes for prohibition,
in spite OF the most strenuous efforts OF the
rum sellers, it is not at all likely that a
majority will not be found in every county
favorable to the maintenance ofso moder-
ate and reasonable a measure Of restriction
as the high license-Iocai option law. But
it is time the respectable voters Of New
Jersey should know precisely what sort of
a contest is upon us. The liquor men have
determined to force the fighting. :" Well.

The true measure of a mans strength
and usefulness is to be taken when he ar
rives at manhood's stature and years of
discretion. The growing boy may give
abundant promise of future usefulness, or
he may promise little, but the test comes
when he gets his growth. 1t would be
hardly fair to the future man TO size up his
capacity for his life work before he was
ready to enter upon it. The Prohibition
party is getting its growth. If it continues
to grow in the future as in the past it is fair
to suppose that it will accomplish a good
work. But there are plenty who assume
that as it has not yet attained position
for work on its own account, it never will,
and there are others who are using every
effort to check its growth and kill it off in
its youth. But it is going to grow all the
same. Don't get worried, Prohibition
friends. Don't become impatient. The
rum business has been the growth of CEN
turies. We cannot put it down in day.
but the sturdy giant of Prohibition is gath
ering strength, and the time is coming, if
all signs do not fail, when he will be fully
prepared and equipped for the battle and
the issue will be joined.

Let us glance at the issues in this State
which are much the same in all except
degree-and let us consider the conditions.
Temperance people e-Prohibitionists, If you
please--have long been demanding of the
old parties some Legislation restricting or
prohibiting the rum traffic. Seven or eight
years ago the ultra temperance element
was for any law that would restrict, and
notably the Temperance Gazette, which
claimed to be an advance courier, was for
local option by townships and Cities
AsJu1y Tarb Journal.
The "Prohibtionists, il you please, and
other temperance people long ago got tired
of demanding or rather begging, of the
old parties for temperance legislation for
they go: morc kicks thaa halfpence.
Time was when even local option by town
ships and cities might have satisfied them,
but the advance of temperance thought is
far beyond local option or high license in
these days. Now that the Prohibitionists
have gone into the fight on their own be
half they find the Republican party willing
to throw them crumb or two in exchange
for their independence. 1t is too late,
Messrs. Republicans The day of compro-
mise has gone by.
The Monitor., 1888-11-02

One Hoover of Pomona, Califor-
MIA, spread trap for the feet
of General Fisk by writing him a let
ter, a la Sackville- West, asking advice as
Prohibtionist how to vote, and inquiring
whether the defeat of Harrison or Cleve-
land would most advance the Prohibition
cause. General Fisk turned the letter over
to Chairman Dickie who replied to it that
the business of Prohibitionists was to vote
the Prohibition ticket and let Republicans
and Democrats take care of themselves,
wherein Chairman Dckie showed himself
possessed of an extremely level top piece
and sized up the situation exactly. 1t
turned out that Hoover was Republican
and he presumably wanted TO get Fisk to
say that Prohibitionists ought to try to
defeat the Republican candidate. There
are no flies on General Fisk.

Don't throw away your vote, cry our old

depends. If you want your vote to truly
represent your convictions, cast it accord
ingly, and it will not be throwm away
though every man on your ticket is defeat
ed If you want Fisk, Nicholson and
Springer elected say so on your ballot.
That is what the ballot is for. If your
only object is to vote for the man who is
sure to be elected, you had better wait till
after election and the returns are in. You
can then make up winning ticket and put
it in an empty soap box, and feel that it is
counted just as much as if you had voted
in the regular way. Shame upon the man
who hesitates to vote his convictions be-
cause he fears to be in the minority 1t is
matter of question whether such man
has any convictions at all.
