would have done from the Democratic
party if they had been given the oppor-
tunity, believing success from either Of
the old parties would be much sooner
than waiting the possible long years
for the Third Party to grow into
power. Our friend of the Record calls
this compromising with our con-
sciences" when it has been both the
course and conviction of the advocates
of temperance foryears. Much the lar
ger part of the temperance men of the
state believe this the most speedy and
efficient way to secure the legislation
desired.
The Third Party way may be the
better, but it is not yet apparent. To
the real temperance man, no way will
be thrown away that promises a ready
and sure result. By the way, is it the
desire of the editor to get set off into
third party a considerable number of
men, and make them believe, to be
consistent, they must follow an ideal

A Just ComnIaint.

Complaint is made at this Office at
the injury done our merchants by lot
of pedlars. The complaint did not
come from them but from persons in
other pursuits, who are interested in
the prosperity of the community. The
charge is that there are several men
who are receiving almost daily large
packages of goods by express, who
with teams are securing the country
through, and with glib tongues and
persuasive but deceptive methods are
imposing on the farmers while thev
are diverting trade from our merchants
and thereby damaging the foundations
oflocal enterprise.
These men own no property here.
pay no taxes, contribute nothing to
any local enterprise-theY simply ex-
tract from those who do and carry It
away to enrich other people and places.
Our merchants sell on as narrow a mar
gin as possible, and our farmers should
not be party to diverting trade to
other channels.

LIQUOR License Refused

A Dover correspondent writes to the
Morning Ne'Cs as follows:
SIR: 1t seems from the decision of
the court in the Lowery and Satter-
field license cases that the court is de-
termined to teach hotel keepers what
they have been so slow to learn-that
obedience to law is the surest road to
success. It's also an assurance to the
lovers of sObriety and good order gen
orally that if they will lay the proper
evidence before court they will be not
only sure of a respectful hearing, but
also of full vindication. Much of the
credit of the satisfactory result in the
two cases mentioned is due to the
women of Milford and Harrington.
The court is highly commended here
for the stand it has taken, and many of
those who censured it year ago are
hearty in their praises now.

Satterheld's application, as he was
backed by the Wolcott men, but the
court refused the application.
The sheriff 3 sale of the Smyrna
House, Smyrna, to John M. Ford was
set aside for the second time. This

was served with a notice, the other

ing seen personally, and hence in law
not being considered as notified.
The chief justice laid it down as d

BEFORE another issue of the TIMES
the Presidential contest will be ended,
the die cast, the victory won by one or
the other of the great parties. 1t has
been a different campaign from any of
the past generation in that it has been
divested of sectional issues. This is
something for all parties to be proud
over. The campaign has turned on
economic issues requiring a great deal
of thinking where predjudice had little
or no part to play, but one in which
men of deep state craft widely
differ, because doubtless from looking
at it from different stand points. This
is nation of sovereigns whose hard
sense and idea will never allow the
pendulum Of public opinion to swing
long in the wrong direction. Strifs
have been bitter at different times in
our history in discussing great aues-
tIons, but in every case the brain and
the Drawn of a mighty yeOmanry have
turned the current in the right direc-
tion-the idea of American unitv.
American individuality and American
progress has prevailed. So it will be
again. Whoever shall be elected will
be our President and should command
our respect: if he does not guide the
ship of state in the right direction, fol-
lowing the beacon light set for his
guidance by the Fathers of the Re-
public, four years hence the people
have the opportunity, and doubtless
will put a master at the helm who
will.

Calling a Pastor.

The society of the PRESBYTERIAN
church held a congregational meeting
on Friday to take into consideration
the calling of a pastor, Rev. J. F. Stone.
cipher of Dover acting as moderator.
The church has been without settled
pastor since the Rev. J. T. Umsted left
a year ago, depending upon supplies as
they could be obtained except the three
months in the summer when the Rev.
G. S. Sweezey had it in charge. and the
Presbytery thought it was time thew
were settling on some one. Hence the
calling together of the congregation as
above stated The delay in calling a
pastor did not arise from anv indisDo-
sition to do so, but doubtless arose
from peculiar situation of circum-
stances--the waiting for the only one
of those whom they had tried aud who
would be acceptable to all-Rey. G. S.
Sweezey, This gentleman wanted to
further prepare himself for the minis
try by taking a post graduate course at
Princeton, which was in the way of his
acceptance last Spring. After delibe-
rating at the congregational meeting
above named, a course of procedure
was reached by extending a call to Mr..
Swezey fixing the date of installation
not later than next May and the date
OF acceptance not later than January.
