WHEN the Democratic party went
out of power in the Government, after
forty years of uninterrupted control,
whisky was 80 cents gallon, and
from 8 to cents drink, while cotton
prints were from 25 10 So cents yard.
There is no need of hunting up any
records to prove this, because there are
thousands of men and women all over
the country who know it of their own
knowledge. Under the control of the
Republican party the price Of whisky
has gone up to from 81 to So gallon
and from 10 to 20 cents a drink, while
the price Of cotton prints has come
down to from 8 to 6 cents a yard.
There never was day in the VIII ole
long period of Democratic rule when
the price of days work would buy
as much raiment or as little rum as
now, and in spite Of all the shallow
free trade babble the whole world
knows that this is the fact and that
the credit is due to the Republican
party that it is so. Aud yet there are
Democratic organs that have the
cheek to charge that the Republican
is the "cheap whisky and dear clothes
party, BrOokviHe Republican.

An Important Matter.

1t should not be forgotten that
Thursday, September 9th, is the last
day for the registration of voters.
Every person who intends to vote
should see that his name is on the reg.
istry list, and the best way to attend
to the matter is to do it personally.
Young members of the party should
be particular to see that they have not
been missed. County Committeeman
and Vigilance Committees should look
up all Republicans and see that they
are registered. Do not neglect to at.
tend TO this matter promptly.

The impression which Representa-,

has produced in Georgia shows that
Senator COlquitt and the other Bour-

invitation to him. The brilliant Ohio
statesman's utterances have torn the
Free Trade scales from the eyes of the
Georgians and enabled them to see
the Protective system in its truth and

Another Shoe Factory.

1t is not improbable that another
shoe factory will be established in this
city in the near future. Adams &c
Boltinghouse, are manufacturers of
shoes in Philadelphia, but are not sat-
lsfied with the place, as rents and tax
es are too high, and Thursday the
firm visited Bridgeton to look over
the place and see what inducements
could be had here for the establishing
OF their works within our city borders.
The gentlemen visited the Rice Shoe
factory and were very much pleased
with what they saw, saying that it
was one of the best laid out factories
they had ever seen. They were great
ly pleased with the location, and in
company with a couple of Bridgeton's
prominent residents, looked around
the property in the vicinity of the Cen
tral depot. 1t is not unlikely that
this firm will move their works to
Bridgeton and engage in the manufac-
ture of shoes. A reporter visited the
Rice shoe factory and asked them if
they would welcome another factory.
when the manager, Mr. Maurer, said,
Gladly. l would like to see fifty large
factories established here, and then
Bridgeton would be the centre of shoe
manufacture and bring the best work
men to our city, and no trouble would
be had in securing the best hands.

Our Milk law.

An effort was made during the past
winter to have the somewhat stringent
milk law changed, but for some reason
no action was taken. The result of
this non-action is now beginning to be
felt in the steps which are being taken
by the wholesale dealers who obtain
the milk from the producers. 1t has
been fully demonstrated that milk
from the native cow will not stand the
test of 12 per cent. solids which the law
exacts, and rather than be compelled
to stand the fine of $50 and costs,
which is the penalty for having milk
for sale which does not come up to the
legal standard, number of dealers,
led by George Abbott, have decided
to purchase hereafter in New Jersey
only the milk from the full blooded or
high grade Jerseys and Guernseys.
This stock is ouly kept by few dairy
men and can always be relied upon to
meet the requirem ents of the law and
exceed the 12 per cent. of solids.
The consequence of this determina
tion upon the part of the dealers is that
there will be curtailed market for the
milk of the native herds. The large
dealers of Philadelphia will secure
their supplies from the native herds of
Pennsylvania, there being no such law
to bother either farmers or dealers in
that State. This will cause a loss of
thousands of dollars annually to the
farmers of New Jersey
President Burrough, of the State
Agricultural Society of New Jersey, is
strongly of the opinion that the State
Milk Inspector should give his atten-
tion to the inspection of the food and
the surroundings of daries rather than
insisting entirely upon the rigid en-
forcement of an unpopular law. The
operations of the State Dairy Commits
sioners' Bureau is sho own in the report
of the State Treasurer for the fiscal
year ended October 81. There wera
collected in fines and penalties for vic.
lations of the Milk and Oleomargarine
acts the sum of $s742. 25, while the cost
of maintaining the bureau was $11,-

The Lightning's Freak.

During the storm Thursday, shortly

OF Burroughs Applegate's house, att
Back Neck. 1t glanced off the roof
and ran down rod to the ground,
where it tore up the earth and went
through the stone wall into the cellar.
The bolt then drove through a parti-
tion into the potato cellar, where it
reversed its course and ran back, tear
ing off plaster, etc. 1t again pene-
trated the cellar wall, and ran up a
water pipe to the caves at one corner
of the house. Ii the cellar the light
ming lifted the lids of seven cans of
lard and spoiled a quantity of butter
by filling it with dirt. 1t struck the
cellar door and lifted it off the hinges,

but did not hurt him much. None of
the family were injured The shock

Death of B. Fl. Brewster.

Hon. Benjamin Harris Brewster.
one of the leading members of the
Philadelphia Bar, and an ex-Attorney
General of the United States, died
Thursday morning at 1.30 o'clock, at
his late residence, No. 205 s. Twelfth

The immediate cause of his death
was ur8mic poisoning, resulting from
Inflammation of the kidneys, which
developed about three weeks ago, He
retained his faculties until an hour
before his death.
Benjamin Harris Brewster was born
in Salem county. New Jersey, on Oct
ober 14th, 1916. He was the only son
of Francis E. Brewster and Maria
Hampton, and on both sides was re-
lated to the Carols, Harrises, Duvals,

Elmers, and others of the principal
families in Southern New Jersey. Both
Of his grand fathers were surgeons in
the Revolutionary Army and owners
of landed estate in New Jersey. His
father removed from Salem county to
Philadelphia, and achieved eminence
at the bar, acquiring large and lucra-
tive practice. His son receiving all the
educational facilities afforded by the
leading private schools of the city was
sent to Princeton College, where he
graduated in 1884. He then entered
upon the study of law as student in
the Office of Eli K Price, Four years
later he was admitted to practice, be-
ing at that time about 90 years of age.
In 1916 he was appointed by Presi
dent Polk as Commissioner to adjudi-
cate the claims of the Cherokee Indi-
ans against the United States. In 1867
Mr.. Brewster was appointed Attorney
General of Pennsylvania.
Shortly after the death of President
Garfield, United States Attorney Gen
eral Wayne MacVeagh retained Mr..
Brewster to assist him in prosecuting
the Star Route cases. When President
AltuuI was GCiCctibS LIS O1OihOt, iic III
duced Mr.. Brewster to accept the
Attorney Generalship. On December
10th, 1881, he was unanimously con-
firmed by the United States Senate,
and on January Sd of the following
year, he assumed charge of the Depart
ment of Justice.
After his retirement from the
Attorney Generalship, he again, took
| up his residence in Philadelphia, and
turned his attention to his law practice.
He was to have appeared before the
United States Supreme Court this week
to argue case touching the Constitu.
tionaIity of the Iowa Liquor Law.
| Mr.. Brewster will be remembered as
counsel for the defense in the Ian
dis-Carruth trial, which took place
here several years ago.
