MIDNIGHT In A GREAT CITY.
BY MARTHA JONES.

1t is midnight. My room is at the
back of the house and near corner. [
look out of my window upon the houses
which form three sides Of a hollow
square Lights are at some Of the win
doWs. These windows are in the sleep
ing rooms of the families who occupy
the houses. l wonder if there can be
sickness in some of these homes and if
these lamps are keeping solemn vigil
over suffering ones. Below me, in the
next house, light burns dimly in the
kitchen window, suggesting that the
house-maid has lover, and this mid
night hour finds him beside her still, too
fond to remember how weary she may
be with the days labor, and how neces-
sary the needed rest of the night. Per-
haps in her sweet company he forgets
his own WEAKNESS of body and limb
while his heart rests c0ntentedly in her
affection. Oh, we'll "What was love
made for if it is not the same" for maid
as for mistress. The kitchen and the
parlOr are alike Loves throne. The
mysteries OF his weird but potent reign
find place in human hearts whether
rich or poor, mistress or maid.
Heavy gray clouds are skurrying
across the sky hiding the moon and
deepening the shadows that lie around.
Now and then the still, damp air is shot
through with a shrill shrek from a
steam whistle, and then shudders once
more into silence. A man goes noisily
along the other side the house, going
home, perhaps, in the solemn midnight
from some unholy revel of sin, leaving
behind him as he goes fear and sense
of repulsion, taking with him to his I'M
happy home shudder of dismay, a
despairing grief to mother, wife OF
children awaiting him there. A door
claps in the silence with startling dis
tinctness.
A child begins to cry il one Of the
houses near, and instantly TennysOn's s
words come to mind:
"What am /?
An infant crying in the night;
An infant crying for the lights
And with no language but a cry"
My thought floats on that tiny wall
up to the Father-heart ever open to the
faintest cry of his sorowful, weary
child to the eternal Love that never
slumbers, but watches over all alike, as
the mother in that home yonder watches
and broods and stills her fretful child.
Thanking him for care and love, pray
ing tfat faiTi IN him may be Increased,
and hope exalted, seek my couch TO
fall into peaceful sleep.

BEAUx FEARED A BOYCOTT.

The following illustrates how the
women in Independence, Missouri, car
ried the local option election for no Ii
censes last June by 200 majority.
Women were everywhere at the polls,
at the lunch stands and on street cor
ners wearing silk badges and with dry
ballots in their hands. Girls stood at
the polls, and at every voting place was
4 banner, on which vas inscribe:
Temperance beaux, or nc beaux at
ALL" Free dinners were served at the
polling places.
Hundreds of children carried banners
through the streets. Some of these in
scribed: ''SOw whiskey ballots and reap
drunken boys" "Young man, keep
your record clean-J. b. Cough"
Rum, revenue aud rags" "Rum ruins
the reasoning" "Vote as you pray
"For God, home and native land"
1--WE can't vote, but we can suffer-"
was carried by the women in IA parade
aud occupied "a promine t place in each
precinct. Many young girls with horse
and pllaeton covered with streamers
brought in young gentlemen to vote
for local option.

II WILL CERTAINLY DRIVE THEM
MAI.

In looking over the columns of our
daily paper we notice that some peo-
pie can no more advertise the truth
than IA leopard IA change his spots,
and apparently whatever they put
in print is put there for the express
purpose of quilting the public and
especially for minimizing person, and
in other words they don't believe i'll
the maxim of ''Live and let liye,"
but ''want il all themselves"
Honest intentions, even though
poorly expressed, never fail to receiye
the appreciation of the public, but
some people are not built that way,
us it is born in their bones to be
cracked, and the conseq nence is they
can't ACT straight ii they were t." try
to. They are jealous OF an %enterpris-
ing PERSONS success and advertise
false prices simply to get you in their
clutches, and with oily tongues per-
sliade you to buy other than what is
advertised, and in their hearts know
they are breaking the Commandments.
Our advice to friends-when in need
of we'll made, substantial clothing
is 10 patrOnize houses like Fellheimer's
ECONOMY Hail." No. 406 Market
street, Wilmington, Delaware, where
every II gets full value for his hard
earned dollar. You call get a first
class suit for $3.50, actually wortl.
Sill, and a beautiful double breasted
Prince Albert suit for $11, that mer-
chant tailors woul charge you $25
to $2S for. Go and take our advice
when in neeG of u suit of clothes to
patronize 406 Market street, Whining
ton, Delaware, and You will have no
occasion to regret it.
1t will be well to mention in con-
necti0n with the article that the
house carries boys suits AS low as
$1.75, and knee pants AS low as II
quarter.

Republican Congressional
Convention.

During the past three OF four weeks
considerable quiet work has been going
on in the counties comprising the First
Congressional District by the different
Republican candidates, in their efforts
To secure delegates to the Convention,
which is to be held at Bridgeton on
next Thursday, September 9Th.
Among the leaders the result OF the
Convention is classed ''in doubt" al
though it is generally conceded that if
the present member. Hon. George Hires,
is named, with his unqualified approval,
he will be renominated by a large ma
jority,
In Camden County, G. A. Bergen,
Esq, Hon. Thomas II. Dudley and
Adam Clarke Smith have been men
toned for the nomination. with a prob
ability of elec.ing delegates favoring
Bergen as the choice from the county,
but it is claimed by local leaders that
the delegates will stand by Hires as
their first choice.
In Gloucester County, W. Harrison
Livermore, Surrogate of the county, is
named. Although there IS some dis
sension in the county, Mr.. Livermore
will, it is thought, have a fair delega-
ton.
Ex-senator Isaac Nichols, of Cum.
berland, has been working quietly, but,
it is claimed by his friends, with tell
ing effect throughout the county and
in some other sections of the district.
In case Of IA deadlock or a declinatlon
from Mr.. Hires, Col. II. W. Sawyer,
of Cape May, is not an improbable
dark horse" He is held in high rs.
TEEN wherever known throughout the
district.
In the words Of IA man well informed
in politics in South jersey, ''the result
of the coming Congressional Convention
for the First District is as much in
doubt now rs was the exciting contest
on Cape Mays iron pier at any time
during the balloting, when almost ell
tire county delegations changed from
II candidate to another, as if by mag
ic, leaving the most sanguine leaders
utterly at sea as TO the result"

The Camden Courier says: "a care
Jul estimate based upon reported Cham
yes and the number of young voters
who will cast their first ballots for Harri-
sou and protection, indicate that New
Jersey will give the national Republican
ticket at least 5000 majority, and it
doubtless will be more. One thing, at
all events, seems as certain as anything
in the future can he, and that is the
slate will give its electoral vote to Har-
rison and protection. The third party
side show, it now appears, will not poll
neal SO large "a vote as it did i'll 1884, as
many intelligent, w~ell-meaning Repub-
licyns who joined the Prohibitionists
four years ago, have been satisfied by
the action of the party in adopting the
high license law, and will RETURN to the
ranks of their first love and YDle accord
ingly. The situation is, therefore, in
the highest degree favorable to Repub-
lican success, and earnest, vigorous
work from now Oh till election day will
assure it,"

Many of the tomato growers at &C.

There is general complaint among
the tomato growers in Cumberland
county that the vines are not well set
with fruit. There was more of blight
than usual among the patches, which
proved quite destructive, and in addi-
ton to this many Of the blossoms fell,
owing to the dry weather a"d extreme
heat at the time of their setting. TAX

they would like for canning.

as with license. This we do mot be-
lieye. We have been informed by good
authority that there is as much drunk
rnness In Salem in one month since Ii
censes have been granted as there was a
whole year with no license. Men who
did not 90 home drunk fIom Salem
when there was no license soon resum-
their old habit after license was gran
ted. as the temp alton was under his
nose very time he drove into town.
What will BE- the effect if a majority
vote for license? The report will be
sent over half the union that Salem
county approves of rum. Every man
elected to the Legislature will vote
against every temperance measure be-
cause a majority of the people he knows
approves OF it. The liquor interest
will he more b6astful and defiant. II
it is hard to get a moderate temperance
measure passed now it will be harder to
get a more stringent one in the future.
If TIE people vote for no license by a
good majority the moral effect through
out the State will he great. Every man
elected to the Legislature from our
county will vote for all temperance
measures because he knows a majority
of his constituents approve it. He VIII
not only vote but will be justified by
working with others for the passage OF
more stringent laws. Although the
| immediate effect may not be as
| great as desired the moral effect will be
greater.
Under these circumstances does it
| not behoove every temperance man who
| believes in good government by the peo-
pie; who believes that temperance is a
virtue to he cultivated, and encouraged
in others; who believes in morality and
protecting the young from temptations;
| who believes in frugality and that pros.
| porous and happy homes is the founda-
ton bulwark of our nation; finally, who
| believe in Christianity and that all laws
for its advancement should be upheld,
| to vote for no license? Your
will be recorded at the polls next Tues
day. Let no man fail to vote.

Nominations tor Auditor and
Treasurer Rejected.
The Members of the Capitol Com
mission Appointed.
Legislators Interested in Proposed
ApportiOnment.

The executive session of the council
yesterday was not a love feast. From the
hallway the interested spectators could see
the digniied members of the upper house
rise and at times appear to be seriously,
ever e~xcitedly, urging the confirmation
or rejection of some nomination.
The upper body of the legislative us.
sembly refused to sanction the governors
appointment of Geo. A. Draper of this
city for territorial treasurer, and r. G. Ma
gor, of Rawlins, for auditor.
Mr.. Draper is one of the foremost citi.
zens of the territory, and has been promi-
nently identified with the Democratic
party for years. He has served as sheriff
of Laramie country and held other Offices
of trust within the gift of the people.
Mr.. Draper has engaged in mercantile
pursuits for some time and is at present
senior member of the great hardware firm
of Draper, Organ & Kelley.
r. G. Mayor is one of the leaders of the
Carbon county democracy and an earnest
worker in the cause. He is a prominent
citizen of r; Wins and owner of one
of the most extensive wholesale gro.
Gerry and supply houses in Central
Wyoming. The gentleman came to the
territory a poor man, but by close
application TO business has amassed a
competency. Mr.. Mayors defeat will be
much regretted by his many steadfast
friends and earnest supporters. 1t is I'M
derstood that the vote on his nomination
was 9 TO 8, evidencing thai party lines
were drawn closely in the matter. In re-
ferring TO the matter last evening Mr..
Mayor was unable to assign any cause
other than partizan feeling for his defeat.
Though appropriately attired in widower
weeds the gentleman was apparently
happy, and while not satisfied with the
result of the campaign, expressed the be-
lief that he would continue to exist.
Messrs. Gilchrist, Poole and Baird, all
Of this city, were confirmed as capitol
commissioners, while the nominations of
Messrs. Bresnahen and Baxter were not
acted upon. The council desires that
some of the members of the present
board remain in office for the reason that
they are familiar with the work.
The governors nominations for univer-
sity commissioners were promptly re-
jected. The names presented were:
Prot. Ricketts,, territorial geologist, DR..
j. H. Hayford, of the Laramie Sentinel
and j. f. G. Crawford, OF Saratoga, Car

The Georgia Ministries drew an audi
ence of fair-sized proportions to the opera
house last evening Were it not for a
recent eruption of colored talent, which
made dismal efforts at public entertain
ment, the Georgias would have been
greeted by a much bigger house. The
performance was an exceedingly good one.
Billy Kersands was Of course the star,
for despite bis mannerisms he is a roar
ing minstrel, who catches the crowd every
day in the week. George Jackson did
some very good business aud Eldredge

singing throughout was particularly
meritorious and while the concluding
farce dragged somewhat, the performance
