An Interview with Gen. FISK.

A dispatch from New York, under date
of Sept. Goth, reads as follows:
There has been a rumor circulated here
lately to the effect that General Clinton b.
Fisk, the Prohibition candidate for the
Presidency, had determined not to run.
This rumor has gained in strength of late.
Whence it came no one knew, but, once
having been started, it went the rounds
until it reached the ears of General Fisk
himself and to-day that gentleman denied
Indignantly that there was any truth
whatever in the story. On this point his
language was emphatic. He SAID, in an
swer to the question if the story were
true, mo, sir. | am in the field until
election day. have been i'll for the past
week or 50 and have sought the mountains
cal work this week and will speak at
Genesee, N. Y, on Saturday night. I
cannot imagine how such al absurd story
could have originated, and my estimate of
the person that would invent such a lie is
low indeed"
"What do you think of the prospects of
the Prohibition party?" he was asked.
"The future is much brighter than the
present." replied Mr.. Fisk. "The party
is rapidly gaining in strength, and in a
few years the disintegration of one or the
other of the great parties is inevitable.
Then the Prohibition party will form a
nucleus for a grand party. The American
people are beginning to realize that prohi-
bition means the decrease of crime, and the
Prohibition party is bound to grow with
the enlightenment of the masses. You may
rest assured THAT the Prohibition party
will remain intact, all reports TO the con-
trary Notwithstanding, and the result of
the elections in several States this fall will
serve to emphasize the fact"
GLOW does tic Prohibition party stand
or the tariff?''
Exactly where the Republican party
stood four years ago and where the Dem
ocrats stand now--in favor of a readiust-
inent of the tariff. The Republicans never
meant to allow the Democrats to make the
popular stand, but the Republicans were
caught mapping and that is all there is to
it. 1t is rather funny that Arthur, Grant,
Garfield IN others should have been so
far amiss in advocating a revision. 1t is a
necessity and there is no argument Or pre-
sentation of figures or proof to the con-
trary."

The Woodstown MONITOR now thinks
the local option law is no great shakes
anyhow and says prohibition straight
is what it is after.-W. j. Press.
II the ". j. Press will tell us when VIC
ever thought or pretended to think any
differently of the local option law from
what we non think, we will send it a big
Woodstown "tomat,' if the season isn't
over. We strongly suspect that when the
Press reads the returns after election and
finds that the Prohibitionists haven't been
gobbled up by the Republican party, it
will also conclude that the law was ''no
great Shakes" but for another reason.
We are not anxious to see the law repealed,
the Press to the contrary Notwithstanding,
but if the price OF the law is to be the sur
render of the ground gained by the party
of Prohibition. and a set back of twenty
years to prohibition principles, why, then
we think-the law is not worth the price.
The Press says we are hypocritical. The
Press is no judge, aud when it gets to call
ing names we infer that it is about at the
end of its rope. The MONITOR supports
third party candidates because the third
party candidates represent what the Mon
IToR is seeking and working for. The
Republican candidates and the Democratic
candidates do not. The Press needn't hes
itate any longer about emptying its walls
of wrath on the MONITOR and the third
party people generally. The Republican
party is not going to get the Prohibition
vote this year.

combining the best elements of both, so
the party OF the future, ready for other on
ward steps in civilization, is now in the
process of formation
The Wisconsin ProAjjiiohist urges MEM
bers of its party to forget events OF a quar-
ter of a century ago, and to turn their at
tention to the future and things to come.
The Pr6AibjtioniSt continues: ''To stick
to the Republican party because it was the
party that smashed the rebellion is as good
business sense as it would be for the United
States army to stick to the old mu2zle-
loading Springfield muskct because it was
the tool that smashed the rebellion. Brecch-
loading rifles and brand-new parties are
the order Of to-day"
The New York Vojco says: eve pre-
dict thai political corruption will never
grow less; that the chances for al govern
mental reform whose ehief or only title to

ter; that unselisl craftsmanship in our
legislatures and congress will never be
more abundant; that the character of our
entire political system viii become more
and more disgraceful, until this rum power
be met in open fight on the political field
and thoroughly overthrown. Tt is the first
thing for all reforms and all reformers to
accomplish. No reform of any kind is
ever going to march to success through
legislatures terrorized by the slums or
composed of their creatures. The saloon
must go!'

1t is intImated III certain quarters that
the Prohibition party in Salem county do
not intend to III a legislative candidate
this year, but purpose to cast their strength
for the supporter the Republican nominee,
whoever he may be, upon the Local Option
issue. We get right up, here and now, and
make the announcement that the Prohibit
tionists of Salem co.nty will do nothing
of the kind. If the Republicans want to
keep company with us they will find us at
home, with a candidate of our own, and if
they wan to vote for him on a straight
temperance issue of the kind labeled 'Pro-
hibition," we will be glad, but whether
they do or not, and it goes without saying
they won't, the Prohibitionists propose to
be in this fight on their own hook. Some
of our Republican brethren are profIering
advice freely, "Don't endorse our candi-
date" they say, but just don't take up
anybody on o urticket and quietly vote for
our man" Don't endorse their candidate
indeed! We should smile! We tried that
last fall on a wcll-dcfined issue, and half
the Republican party took to the woods,
and we don't know whether they will get
back III time to vote the ticket this fall or
not. AND as to making no nomination
if there ever was a time in tho history of
the Prohibition party when it OugAt to
make a nomination and stand by it and
work for it and roll up up a big vote for
the nominee, this is the time. When 1T is
understood that the Prohibition party is to
be turned aside from it's purpose by any
half way measure or issue that one or the
other of the old parties chooses to label
Temperance" and spring on them to catch
their votes, as fishermen angle for gud-
geons, then it is time for the Prohibition
party TO go to bed. To support the candi-
dates Off party that is committed to the
principle of high license when the Piohi-
bition party is unfalteringly opposed to
license, high or low, strikes us as being as
gross a piece of political inconsistency as
could well be found. Let the Prohibition
voters of Salem County stand up for their
principles this fail like true men.

in the largest number possible of the homes
of this nation it will be sold at the extreme
ly low price of 25 cents each, with a liberal
discount when ordered in quantities. When

extra should be added for postage. The
calendars are now ready for delivery and
we heartily wish that the next New Years
day might find them in all the homes of
this nation. They are just the thing for
Christmas and New Years presents, and
well adapted for Sunday school teachers
to give their classes. All orders for the

The Republicans of this county will
meet in convention at Pennsgrove on the
fourth of October to nominate a county
ticket, which will be a short one this year,
as it consists of an A~ssemblyman only. 1t
is generally conceded that John G. Ward
will be nominated withoutopposition and by
reclamation. Mr.. Ward stands high in
party and social relations, and the chances
are that there are few, if any, better men
within the party lines. He made an X
cellent run last year and should do better
this.
Who the nominee of our Democratic
friends may be remains to be seen. One
thing we will ventlre to predict, that is if
he don't come ont fair and square on the To-
cal option question he'll have a hard road
to travel.

to drink strong liquors Immediately after

said to arrest digestion if taken with food.
That is true, although most people who
drink doubt it. They know they eat and
