THE NEW sTAR-sPANGLED BANNER

Hail, flag of the free, may thy folds be INJURED
To shadow the lowly and guard the OPP
pressed.
Thy banners the emblem, all over the world
fpeaee and contentment by freemen pos
scssed.
Our Nation is free from the chains that enthlal
ServiIe subjects in other and less-favored
lands.
Our laws afford power and protection to All
To live rs Il conscience enlightened de
mands.
Shine on, serene stars, with rays pure and
bright
Shine on till thy beams shall enlighten the
Console the downtrodden with pnre silver
light,
TIL men shall rejoice in fair lberty's birth
Oh, home of the free. of the loyal and brave,
None shall ever dethronc thee from thy ia
vorcd seat.
Our lands the asylum which all men may
crave,
Where liberty, rest and prosperity meet.
The star-spangled banner in triumph shall
wave,
When despots from %tyranny's thrones shall
be hurled,
"O'er The land of the free and The home of the
brave
And the light of thy faith be the light OF the
world.

Strange Bed-FeIiows.

1t is amusing to see the Mugwump pa
pers, which are all for high license, pitch
ing into the free-whisky plank of the Re
publican platform, and the Republican pa
pers taking refuge behind the Prohibition
platform, saying: "See there! the Prohi-
bitionists are more positive than we are in
their demand for the abolition of the
whisky tax" One wonld hardly nave ex-
pected three months ago to find Prohibit
bitionists, Republicans and representative
liquor men all uniting on one demand with
reference to liquor. Yet even that has
come to pass in this call for the repeal
of taxes collected under the Internal Rev
enue laws. B0nfort's Vine and Spirit
Circular, while giving its unreserved APP
prevail TO the Republican temperance and
morality resolution, saying that the man
who would do otherwise would be very apt
to contend that two and two do not make
four, claims that this declaration is in per-
feet harmony with the free whisky plank,
inasmuch as "there is no one measure that
would do so much to promote temperance
and morality as to abolish all taxes on
whisky" High and low license men are
quite at liberty to settle that matter be-
tween them; the Prohibitiopists mean
while will hold straight on their course de-
handing the humiliation of the traffic, and
that it shall not be permitted to purchase
Government endorsement by payment of a
special tax or license fee. When the Re-
publican party is prepared TO lay its de-
mand for the repeal of the whisky tax, on
the ground that the traffic is a curse to the
country and ought TO be prohibited, then
there Will be a possibility Of real union be-
tween them and the Prohibitionists.-

.sFeu One Is Ten Club.

Ten times one does equal ten every time.
This time it is in the Commercial Temper
ance League, a reorganization of the
Kings Temperance Army. In a business
letter comes the circular setting forth its
work. Its original Ten i'll New York is
called the Cabinet; its duty is to receive
reports from the various clubs at least
once a month, and to respond to inquiries
concerning the work. It's motto is:
"Look mp and not down; look forward and
not back;
Look out and not in; lend II hand"
Its badge is a c.. L. l.. button worn in the
lapel OF the coat; its pledge: First, TO
drink no intoxicating liquors. Second, to
get ten others to join the League. This
business mems league is especially COM
mended to commercial travellers. A COM
mercial traveller of over thirty years, MIR.
S. A. Haines, of Motherhood, New Jersey,
can be secured to speak in behalf of the
League. The circular closes with this,
which we hail as a glad prophecy: ''Evi-
dences are multiplying daily that business
men are ready to capitulate to King Man
hoods demands, and by the power God
has given MS, we may if we will, declare
that the reign of King Alcohol shall cease"

The State Board of Assessors held a
meeting on Wednesday at Trenton, at
which the syndicate which contemplates
buying the Pemberton and Hightstown
Railroad were present. They claimed that
the road was offered for sale at 500, 900 by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and
that the State Board had valued it at over
$500, 900. The syndicate were anxious to
know in advance what the valuation of the
road would be for the current year, but
this the board would not decide on. There
will be probably some decrease in the val
uation, but not as much as the syndicate
desires.

men connected with commercial occupa-
tions. 1t is named after Mr.. Hale's book,
Ten Times One is Ten, and founded in

Six months in the county Jail is consid-
cred rather severe punishment for selling
liquor without a license. Nevertheless
that was the penalty imposed on Tuesday
by Police Justice Matheson, of Trenton, on
Samuel E. Hankinson, Wholesale liquor
dealer; Catharine Wright, Johanna Muller
and Peter wager, for that %offense, which
was proved to the satisfaction of the local
dignitary by two detectives from Philadel-
phia named Wade Laconia and John E..
Morris. These men were employed by the
Law and Order Society, and worked in the
city for a couple of weeks, during which
they claim to have secured evidence to
bring about even more convictions for vio-
lation Of the excise ordinance. This ordi-
nance was passed by the Excise Board un-
der the Local Option High License law.
1t fixes a penalty Of six months in Jail for
selling liquor without a license, and the
Police Justice is clothed with summary
jurisdiction. A writ of certiorari in behalf
of the prisoners will be taken out, and a
review will probably be made by the Su-
preme Court.

In view of the loss of fruit to farmers
and fruit growers in the northern counties
of New Jersey, by reason of destructive in
sects which have appeared in swarms the
present season, the farmers are appealing
to the public to protect moles, field mice
and all insectiverous birds, but the English
sparrow. The insects lave wrought fear
full havoc this season, and the yield of
small fruits will be almost a total failure.
