This Judiciary of New Jersey have shown
a eommendable disposition to expedite a
decision on the Local Option law, so as to
have the question of its validity set at rest
before the expense and trouble of an cleo
ton had been gone into in any county.
The Court of Errors now has the case I'M
der advisement, and a decision is looked for
early Z in August. S. II. Grey, Esq, ofCam-
den, made an able argument in favor of the
law, and tie result is looked for with much
interest. If it be favorable, the Temper
ance people will go into the canvass with a
strong moral backing from that fact alone.

The Jersey Inv.

a decision of the Supreme Court of New
Jersey is expected in a few days on the
constitutionality of the so-ealled local OPP
ton law passed by the last Legislature of
that State. The law has some of the same
defects that were contained in the Michi-
gan local option law, and because Of which
it was declared unconstitutional by the
Michigan Supreme Court. In the case of
New Jersey, the Legislature eanno make
use of even the miserable pretense used in
lures crept in through oversight. In Mich
igan those features were called to the at
tention of the legislative committee before
the passage of the bill, and were not cor
the bill was based on its alleged u%nconsti-
nationality, and was passed over his veto
unchanged.
The law itself is, however, a perfect
a county votes nolicense under it, the
breweries and distillers are not touched,
druggists are not hampered to any effective
degree, the saloon-keeper may still retain
the privilege to sell in quantities of q gal
Ion at y time, and if ne is not satisfied at
that, and continues to sell q glass at Il
time, and is convicted of violating the law,
the judge cannot fine him more than 5000,
and may fine him anything less, even down
to 500, and still satisfy the law.-Ihe

Mayor Richman means business in his
raid on fast driving on our borough streets.
$500 and costs ON weekdays in the day
time. and SO. 90 and costs at night or on
Sundays is about the price the driver OF
horse-flesh may expect to pay for the stolen
delight of a race through the streets of the
town.. Which is a good deal better all
around than that somebody should have
an undertaker's bill Of $1,000 or $4,000 to
settle as the result of somebody else's reck-
Iessness. or a doctors bill of about the
same amount, more or less. Hold your

Frances +. Willard says The highest
evolution is not for woman, to work alone
aud man to work alone, but for man and
woman to work together. The mistake of
the world has been that they did not do
so, and the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union can do much by setting a bet
ter keynote. Let MS not think that every
position in II gift must belong to a wo-
man, and that every person that speaks on
our platform must be a woman, but let us
esteem persons according to their ability,
aside from any other consideration, being
assured that this is the true and natural
method, and that this thought shall best
conduct men to know the mistake they
have made in so long deciding on a basis of
sex rather than merit, the positions that
people shall hold"

If any of our friends can send us a menu
for a bang-up, first-class, recherche sup
per we will be obliged. Send as many as
you can that we may take our choice. The
occasion whereof is the fact that a certain
highly esteemed county official of Glouces-
ter county yesterday offered to wager us
that General Fisk would not receive as
many votes in New Jersey this fall as st.
John received in 1884. We took him up
and shook hands on it then and there.
How could we help it? And now We want
to get ready for the supper we expect to
eat at the expense of our highly esteemed
but sadly mistaken friend.

The files of Indianapolis journal Tor ~
or 'S3 would be profitable reading for tenn
perancc men who think a vote for Harrison
will count as much for temperance as a
vote for Fisk. During that campaign in
which the submission of a constitutional
amendment was one of the issues, the
Journal kept standing at the head Of its
editorial column, as the Keynote of the
campaign, a statement signed benjamin
Harrison" in which occurred this SEN
tence II AM UNALTERABhY OPPOSED TO
PRoHIBITIoN.'' His position then was,
that while personally opposed to prohibi-
ton, he favored the submission to the peo-
pie of a p~rohibitory amendment, also an
amendment for woman's ballot. Thus on
the temperance question his stand was just
the same as tina of the New York Repub-
licans, and, 50 far rs we can ascertain, he
still maintains that POSITION Union Sig
nal.

Let US All Go Fishing

In Sweden, Fisk means fish; we all know
that in our language Brooks means water.
Well, fish ana water are natural affnities.
But fish and water are also meat and drink,
and our Prohibition friends will do we'll tc

Ny DEAR BROTHER: have the honor
to acknowledge receipt of your valued ia
vor of the 18th inst, inviting me to meet
you in the National Temperance Conyen-
ton at Saratoga on the LIST proximo. ex-
ceedingly regret that my official duties i'm
peratively demand my presence at my post
here, and | must forego the pleasure had
anticipated in assisting in throwing up the
first line of works in a national crusade
against the great evil.
You say that slavery is dead. hope it
is; but ! would like to see the twcnty-seven
(2D necessary pall-bearers present them
selves at the funeral Of the great barbar-
ism, and bear ITS loathsomc carcass away
forever. If Kentucky, New Jersey and
Delaware would only come into the Union.
and walk in that procession, what a
marching on it would be- wish in
temperance, the world over, was as nearits
decease as this other enemy.
Stir up the people. Organize the three
great arms OF the service, and push them
into the field-the Christian pulpits, the
Christian women, the children God bless
them D-move Immediately upon the enc
my's works, and keep moving and fighting
it out ON that line, no matter how many
Summers it takes. May the blessing of
oar Heavenly Father be upon your coming
together. The cause for which you meet is
second to none other. lam, sir, with great
respect, your obedient servant,
