TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 8.

Mr.. THURMAN, whom all the Virginia
delegates to the national democratic con
yention favored for the Vice Presidential
nomination, when they left Washington last
Saturday, is not only infrm of mind and
BODY, but is the man who, before his mind
had become impaired, denounced General
Jackson, OF Georgia, as fool, drunkard
and a mischief maker, because the latter, in
his speech to an ex Confederate reunion
said
1.-THE people of the South few to arms not
to perpetuate, but to imperil their peculiar
institution not to save, but to sacrifice
property in defence of honor nay, to sacrl'
ice life itself rather than tamely submit to
insolent wrong. For the right to govern
themselves, bequeathed to them by their
fathers, they were prepared to immediate
all The principle for which they fought
the only principle of government expansive
enough to meet the requirements OF modern
civilization, made of late by Giadstones elo
ouence so familiar to European thought
was American born. Sun OF the modern as COM
pared with the ancient civibzation-'home rule
as contrasted with Roman civilizstion-it rose III
tho West and now mounts to the western trma-

AND NOW comes Mr.. George G. Gorham,
OK editor of the Washington Republican and
testifes that the "readjuster" and republi-
can Presidential tickets in this State in 1880
were the result OF bargain between Mr.
Garfield and General Malone, of which he,
Gorham, was the negotiation; by which bar
gain the entire electoral vote of the state
would be cast for Garfield in case the demo
cratic ticket in Virginia were defeated, and
General Malone to vote with the republi
cans in the u s. Senate, and General Ma
hone to have the sole dispensation of the
federal patronage in Virginia and that 30
far as in him lay General Malone stood by
that bargain, but that Garfield having been
elected President and secured the organiza
ton of the Senate on a republican basis,
had no further use for General Malone, re-
pudiated his part, and made bargain with
the democratic Senators, by which he prom.
ised to let Malone so it alone in consders-
ton of their support of his nominations
And yet, during all the time that inter
veued between the Presidential nominations
and the organization fthe Senate on re-
publican basis by his one vote, General Ma.
hone swore be was good and true demo-
crat, and though not in exact accord with
the leaders of the party in Virginia, was in
harmony with the national democracy, and
that his electoral ticket if successful would
be cast for Hancock Is it at all wonderful
that the General as come to political grief?

HIGH LICENSE.
Jersey City Saloon-keepers' Plan
IN Regard to the $3.50 Fee.

The Jersey City liquor dealers, who
have so vigorously fought the passage
and operation of Jerseys High License
Local Option law, are preparing an
entirely new line Of action which thev
believe is to lead them to victory.
The great object involved, to avoid
the payment of the new and rather
expensive annual license fee of $3.50, is
to be accomplished by a very adroit
plan.
At the last meeting of the Board of
Aldermen an ordinance was introduced
fixing the fee at the figure required by
law. 1t will come up for passage or
rejection at the meeting tomorrow
evening. Jersey City is Democratic
and so is the Aldermanic body by a
majority of four. The High License
bill was purely Republican concep.
tion. Its appearance in Trenton
marked one of the most bitter
contests the State has ever known.
In view of these facts the liquor dealers
look upon the passage by the Aldermen
of such an ordinance as is now before
them as a practical endorsement of
the Republican action. The law does
not compel the Aldermen to frame
new excise ordinances. Corporation
Counsel Blair has SO decided, but the
law must be carried out.
The plan of the liquor dealers, then,
is to secure the defeat or delay of the
ordinance so that the existing license
fee of $50 will continue, at least in
name. Then as each saloon keeper
pays to the City Clerk the $3.50 fee he
will enter a protest against the pay
ment of 5000 of the amount, and have
the protest filed. Then if the act is
declared unconstitutional by the Courts
it is claimed that the amount protest
ed must be returned by the city.
The test case as to the constitution.
ality of the law is now being prepared
by ex-Gov. Albeit, the counsel of the
Liquor Dealers Association, and will
soon be in condition for argument.

People are longing for fresh Cunber-
land county fruit-for strawberries,
cherries and apples, the last mentioned
serving to introduce the idea of dump
lines and dip. All of these good things
will be in a very little while, if the
season don't go wide of its ordinary
running schedule. These fresh things
are hankered for after long winters
feed on stale goods, and when they do
come they'll taste of the silver and
confine themselves to the rich mans
table for time, Still, the warm suns
will ripen them with speed, and the
increasing supply will tone down the
cost, and everybody will then get a
chance at them.

On account of so many of the far
mers selling their milk at the creamer-

plentiful as it used to be, and as con.
sequence the price is higher Thirty
cents for pound of butter is consid-
cred high figure by many, but the
quotations in last Saturdays Philadel-

While the milk raising interest is con-
stantly growing the increased demand
for milk and cream in the cities and
towns effects the supply of good but

He was one of five children. and a son

Mr.. Pierson leaves wife, one son
| and one daughter to mourn his loss.
Two brothers and one sister survive
him. The sorrowing family have the
sympathy of the entire community in
| their sad bereavement.

tried and convicted in the Salem County
Courts on Saturday on o charge of
arson in burning the barn of E. b.
Humphreys on March 10. The barn
was burned, it is alleged, out of spite,
as Humphreys candidate for Mayor, a

is supposed tohave been hired to do the
work, and the arrest of the principals
is looked for.

Annual Report.

State Dairy Commissioner Newton's
annual report, just issued, more. than
substantiates all the charges made by
the press with reference to food adul-
terations. Not only was oleomar-
garine heretofore sold for butter, but
condensed milk was adulterated with
cane sugar and rendered injurious to
the consumer, lard was adulterated
with cotton seed oil and acids, honey
was heavily mixed with glucose, and
vinegar waslargely made from alcohol
Examination of the coloring matter
in candies showed little or no poisonous
matter, but the drugs sold in grocery
stores were, as a rule, found to be
weak, stale and below, the standard
Before the naturalization law went
into effect eighty per cent. of all
grocery stores, according to the report,
sold oleomargarfne. Six months after
ward only one hundred and forty
dealers remained in the State, and
after the warfare of the past year only
thirty dealers continued in the bust
ness, seven of whom have since dis
continued About $4,000 have been
collected on this account in fines, and
other amounts are yet in the hands of
the Court.

The recent rains have been of i'm
mediate and incalculable benefit. to
the crops in Camden county and
South Jersey, as well as throughout
the whole state. Last year the month
of May was almost without rain, and
the result was that the grass got a
very late start and was so dried and
dwarfed that the crop was anything
but satisfactory. This year the grass
is springing up SO rapidly, because of
the rains that. as the farmers say, "you
can almost see it grow" This practi-
cally assures heavy crop of hay next
fall 1t does more: it gives the pasture
fields such start that the cattle do
not have to crop over wide areas in
order to get all the food they need,
and this means an increase in the milk
and butter yield.

The Grand Army Posts OF the country
are preparing to celebrate Memorial
Day in a becoming manner, and in
every instance they invite the CO.
operation of the public. Everywhere
over this broad land, North, East,
Sonth and West, wherever the graves
of those who fell in the great struggle
for the preservation of the Union is
found, there the first garlands of Spring
will be strewn by loving hands. The
day is now observed more generally
than any of our National holidays, and
people honor themselves in doing
honor to their fallen heroes. We know
that in this busy season the sacrifice
to our people in laying aside pressing
duties is great, but how do they com
pare with the sacrifices of those who
sleep in soldier graves Therefore, we
urge upon our readers to leave the
field, the shop and factory, and join in
making Memorial Day all that the
word implies.

Spirit of the Press.

Camden Post. The eight daughters
of the new Chief Justice have each a
separate piano to practice upon. We
see now why Chicago was so enthus-
iastic when Mr.. Fuller was called to
Washington to live.
Camden Post Electric wires are
causing death and damage in the great
cities daily. If the companies do not
bury them, the kind of anarchy that
would meet with approval, would be
the cutting Of poles and wires by an
imperiled people.
Salem Standard. The New York
Tribune congratnlates the New Jersey
Republicans for furnishing the shortest
and altogether most effective platform
framed this year, and suggests that
the craftsmanship of the committee on
resolutions at Chicago should go TO
this State, where plain words are used
and not one is wasted.
