AT Ocean Grove the Womens Christian
Temperance Union Of New Jersey took
the party which has professed to be for
them and voted against their measures,
to task as follows
The Republican party now stands at
the bar OF the intelligence Of the people
to answer why in SO many states prohibi-
tion has been defeated and why. with the
party Of temperance in power, the liquor
men are satisfied aud constitutional pro-
hibition is under death sentence. The
people are now being shown that defeat
comes not through saloon forces alone,
but by their alliance with political and
party power.
The Republican party stands at the bar
of intelligence for several other pieces Of
deceit of chicanery. II has misled and
deceived the negro. He was promised
what was popularly termed forty
acres and mule; he was
told that he would be returned TO slavery
If the Democrats won in 1884 The Re
publican party has deceived and misled
the workingmen with promises Of high
wages and steady work. The party has
deceived the prohibitionist, the soldier,
the Irishman, the German, and every
other class Of men whose votes 1t was
necessary to secure. But the party goes
steadily on working in the interest
Of "the manufacturers who derive most
Of the benefits from the tariff. and
frying the "fat out OF them" for Doodle
sufficient to buy Indiana. The Republi-
can party has not made a promise within
fifteen years which has been kept.
This is something for respectable, honest
and patriotic men who have continued to
vote with the Republican party to con-
slider. Let man Of this class consider
this statement candidly. 1t is not an
answer to say that the Democratic
party Is as bad or worse.
That is the argument that the
worst thief in the world might make to
Justify stealing. The Democratic party
has professed to reduce the war taxes
and would have done 1t If Republicans
and renegade Democrats had not opposed
It. The Democratic party kept its
promise to enforce Civil Service Rules,
to recover land forfeited by railways, to
start new navy. Let some one point
out one single promise that the Republi-
can party has even attempted to keep.

New York Times
Wa regard the series Of defeats which
constitutional prohibition has suffered as
indicating an advance in public senti-
ment under the agitation Of the subject
of temperance legislation, and we believe
that progress will continue IN the same
direction Prohibitionists are fond
Of likening themselves to the
Free Sellers Of the last generation. and
profess to believe that there is
an analogy between their cause and
the anti slavery cause of those times,
and that it is destined like
that TO take hold upon the moral convic-
tions of the people. break up old party
lines, and march on to ultimate triumph.
But the analogy is purely imaginary. and
the hopes founded upon IL are fanatical.
We do not suppose the Prohibition party
has received its death blow, but it Is
likely to recede to its legitimate lines
Those who have fanatical attachment
to the one idea of the party will cling to
it, but most citizens are practical
and seek for practical results
It has been demonstrated that
prohibition as practical policy is out of
the question, and they will turn their at
AthhAOA w oNRAAAhE bAN AAhHbAth W oOAAR-
thing else. This will be the great benefit
to be derived from the setback that has
been given to the cause Of prohibition.
Even those who have been inclined to
favor IL and have given it tentative sup
port will fall away and join the ranks Of
those who are striving to secure the
adoption of rational and practical meas
ures OF restriction, leaving only
the impracticables to continue
the unavailing cry for the unattain-
able It will bring accessions TO the sup
port Of the policy Of high license and To-
cal option, which has the merit of being
adaptable to the condition of public SEN
timent ana capable ofindefnite extension.
II is the policy of present expediency
and future progress. 1t can be made as
restrictive as the communities to which
it is applied will sustain and make effec-
tive, aud the restriction can be increased
whenever they are prepared for 1t. This
is the reasonable and sensible method Of
Temperance legislation. and it will gain
advantage from the defeats which pro-
hibition has encountered.

False Alarm.

A Cambridge gentleman was asked to buy
a ticket TO the fremen's ball, and good ma
turedly complied. The next question was
what to do with it. One Of his two man SER
wants would probably be glad to use it, but
he did not wish to show favoritism. Then it
occurred TO him that he might buy another
ticket, and give both his servantsa pleasure
Not knowing just how to proceed he in
quired of policeman where the tickets were
to be had why don't you go down to the
engine houser said the officer. 1.-THE men all
know your
So the old gentleman went to the engine
house; but when he entered there was no one
In sight He had never been In such place
before, but was perfectly familiar with the
use of electric signals On the side of the
room was a button, evidently connected with
a bell, and, naturally enough, after waiting
a minute or two, he put his thumb upon it
The effect was electrical IN every sense of
the word From the air overhead-so, at
least, it seemed TO the old gentleman, IN his
bewilderment-men began to rain down,
completing their toilets as they fell The
horses rushed out Of their stalls, and, In a
word, ell the machinery Of = modern engine
house was instantly in motica-
Amid ali this turmoil stood the mid man
nered and innocent old gentleman, who, even
now, did not suspect that he had touched the
fire alarm The men rushed upon him for
information as TO the whereabouts OF the
fire, but when be opened his mouth IL was
only to say, in the mildest accents;
II should like to buy another ticket to the
ball, if you please"
Tho situation was 30 ludicrous that no one
could be angry, not even the men whose nar
had been broken into. and the old gentleman
bought his ticket and departed In peace

Curious Cblnese CuatomO.

When a Chinamnn desires visitor to dine
with him he does not ask him TO do 30, but
when he does not wish him to stay he puts
the question; won't you stay and dine with
me, pIeaseFn The visitor viii then know be
is not wanted.
When Chinaman expects present and
it does not come he sends one OF lesser value
A rich mans servant gets no salary, yet
many are the applicants; while big salaries
are paid TO the servants Of the common peo-
pie, but few make applications The per-
quisites Of the former often more than triple
the salaries Of tho latter, which is the sole
reason Of these differences. To encourage
honesty and sincerity, confidential clerks and
statesmen in all branches of industry receive
an annual net percentage of the firms bust
ness, besides their regular salary.
The highest ambition Of a Chinaman is to
have nice coffin and fine funeral
In China one can always borrow money on
the strength of having a son, but nobody
would advance him cent if he had dozen
daughters. The former is responsible for the

latter is only responsible for the debts Of her

An Extra Session.

New York Herald.
President Harrison is reported as think
ing that the reasons in favor of an extra
session of Congress early in October are
stronger than those against 1t. We think
President Harrison is right The
coming Congress will have a great deal of
important work TO do. Measures of vital
concern to the public, already too long
neglected, will demand attention Tariff
revision alone win claim much time. Leg
islation for the relief of the Supreme
Court is imperative. The new apportion-
ment will be q matter of far reaching
consequence. In the Senate the Samoan
and other important treaties will come up
for consideration.
If Congress does not meet until Decem.
Der it will not get to work in earnest till
after the holidays-say the middle OF
January. II an extra session is called
about the 1st Of October the organiza
tion may be effected, the committees ap.
pointed and business fairly begun by
the middle of that month. That would
be decided advantage to the country
In fact it would be better If the regulai
sessions began every year in October in
stead of December.
