Rurglars In Clinton.

burglars In Clinton.
On the night of the 9th inst. some one
effected burglarious entrance to the
house of Mrs. Mansfield Hummer, in the
town of Clinton, and carried off set of
solid silver table spoons, upon which were
engraved The initials IN. H." The
spoons were kept 10 one of the kitchen
closets, along side of half dozen silver
plated ones. The thief, in order to test
the quality of the latter, broke one of
them in two, but not finding them valua-
hle enough for his purpose, left them be-
hind. On the same night an unsuccess-
full attempt was made to enter the resi-
dence of Mrs. Eli Bosenbury, near by
Mrs. Runners. Thieves are worrying

reform. He says he has paid enough
taxes in tho shape of tariff duties on
what he buys at the store alone, to buy
the best farm in Hunterdon county,
True American.
There is not word Of truth in the
above reported Conversion" We are
assured by Mr.. Higgins himself-who
certainly is good authority that neither
he nor any of his sons intend to vote for
Cleveland, but on the contrary will vote
for Harrison and Morton and the whole
Republican ticket. Mr. Higgins is too
intelligent man to be deluded by the
Democratic clap-trap about the "tax-
burdened farmer" and takes no stock in
the pretended interest they take in the
welfare Of the agriculturist. He and
his sons believe in Republican princi-
pies, and will vote according to their
convictions. The Democrat, in its issue
Of this week, copies this coming out"
story from the True American, and says
that "all over this broad land sturdy old
Repu blicans are coming out in the same

are. just as Mr.. Higgins and his sons

Young men who have the ability
to study the tariff from the point of
view as to whether it enriches and
benefits the American monopolists,
and who can then intelligently tell
the people what conclusion they
have drawn from their studies,
have field for labor full of the
richest reward. No young man
will ever have to blush, if in after
years it is said that he stepped into
political prominence on theplatform
of tariff reform. To fight shy of
politics is an action to be condemn
ed in youth. Political strife has
not wholly become struggle for
the offices. There is in it yet mag
nifcent openings for the courageous
and honest young blood and brain.
