which decline to impose the necessary re-
strictions. The evil runs with the blood
throughout the whole system of national
life, and nothing but national constitutional
treatment will cure it. 1t is not a local
disease. To be sure, there are local ulcer
ations, but they extend all over the body.
1t has become a confluent eruption which
must be medicined from within as well as
from without. 1t cannot be cured by the
external application of patches of plaster
upon the states, whose combined surfaces,
with that of the territories, cover that of
the national body"
These u%tterances from the report of a
committee of the United States Senate,
composed of Republican and Democratic
members, should carry telling weight.
Many organs of these political parties,
since the date of this report, have come out
in favor of such submission. Thus the

Saloons versus churches.

4 ne IS item says:
''At a recent political convention in New
York, an impulsive speaker forgot that the
truth should not be spoken at all times,
aad exclaimed: 1 tell You what, | would
rather have the saloons behind ME in poll
tics any time than the churches.'"
And why? Because almost all the per-
sons found in the saloons are voters, while
two-thirds Of the persons found in the
churches are women. If women could
vote, the church and the home would be as
potently represented at the ballct-box as
the saloons are now. As Emerson says,
sit is very cheap wit that finds it so droll
that a woman should vote. If the wants,
the passions, the vices, are allowed a full
vote, at the hands of a half-brutal, intem-
perate population, | think it is but fair that
the virtues, the aspirations. should be al
lowed a full vote as an offset, through the
purest of the people. '-1lice Stone Black

The Home Visitor, published at Clinton,
is a Prohibition journal, but it is, at the
same time, an advocate of local option and
every other measure having for its object
the practical abatement of tho rum evil.
And in this respect it is in everlasting con
trast to the Camden Temperance Gazette,
which paper it takes to task for continually
arraying itself against a measure that
should be supported by all temperance
men" The Vtsitor also pays its respects to
the Woodstown MONITOR. another Prohi-
bition paper which has treated the local
option law in a cayalierly manner. ''We
believe" adds the pjSit0T, that such pro-
cednre on the part of our Prohibition or
gans will work great injury to our cause"
And so it will, but that won't make any
difference to the average political Prohibit
tionist.-Cazadea Courier.

we should do the same thing, aud do it

from the agitation Of the question in that
shape or any shape, But there is this diff
ference between our position on Local
Option and that Of some other papers. We
are not IN favor Of it as a stopping place,
or as a substitute for Prohibition, or as a

New Store under The Opera House

AT our new store under the Opera
House we have this week opened
$4,000 worth Of suits and overcoats.
You a sc your boys a good warm
overcoat for $3.50. Mems Raritan
Chinchilla Beaver ~overcoats, warm
but not burthensome, $500. Black
C~orkscrew ~overcoats, all-wool face.
800. Skating jackets made of
heavy beaver cloth, cut double
breasted and lined with flannel, just
the thing for knock-about, S3.75.
Knit jackets from 75c to $3.50.
Everything needed for men and
boys, and at prices lower thar else
where in this county.
Never in our history as merchants
have we been SO well prepared to
take care Of ourselves and our GUS
toners on BOOTS and SHOES as
we are at this present time. We
placed our orders early in the sea-
son when the work-people were not
hurried, and the consequence is that
we have a BETTER, LARGER and
CHEAPER stock than ever before.
We own now and have in possess
sion over Fifty Cases of Mems and
Boys Boots-all kinds, ali prices.
The celebrated +. S. Reeve boots
Is low as S2.25. You all know this
make of goods. Mr.. Reeve is a
conscientious man and don't put his
name on anything that is not worthy
oft. We are the only agents for
the Lester Boot. We sold these
largely last year and have not had
a single complaint, though we have
taken great pains to make inqairy
of those we sold them to. The uni
versal verdict is hat there are none
better. We can give you good bar
gains in boots and you do yourself
injustice if you fail to take a look at
our stock. We don't care SO much
for profits as we do to sell the
goods.
In Ladies and Children's wear
and goods adapted to their wants
we are quite as fortunate as on
Mems and Boys goods. While we
have all desirable makes and grades
in Children's and Women's wear,
VIZ would especially call attention to
our French Kid, hand-welt, extern
sion sole, common-sense heel, but
ton boots for Ladies at So. It's the
neatest made, neatest fitting, easiest
wearing and most dressy shoe for
the money that We have ever been
able to offer.
All kinds Mems and Boys Hats.
Five cases lately received. Every
thing in Mems wear and Boys wear.
Also the largest stock Of Clothing
in this county at our well-known,
popular low prices.
New purchase children's two
piece suits, S225 upwards,
IS doz. Mems Medicated Scarlet
Shirts, with Drawers to match. The
best by far that we have ever offered
for the money.
Fifteen doz. new purchase Mems
Knit Jackets, from the lowe t at 90
cents to the finest seamless all wool
at $3.50. No stock in these parts
to equal it IN variety.

Here's a how'dy. According to full
official returns it appears that the Prohi-
bition vote in New York in the Congress
sional districts runs up to Al, 900 to II, 900
more than on the State or national tickets.
How is this discrepancy to be explained =?
voting split tickets; they take their politi-
cal medicine straight. There would
seem to be a fine large field here for the
Holman Investigating Committee to get
right to work in as soon as appointed.

There are three hundred and forty self
confessed prostitutes in Omaha who make
to the city officials monthly payments, and
receive receipts therefore amounting to
$24,0 900 a year. The revenue derived from
their business, with hat from the saloons,
goes to support the public schools. Yet
Omaha points with pride to her public
school buildings, and boasts of the high
salaries paid TO teachers.
