Last week We made mention of a horse
belonging to Clinton Taylor, which. while
being driven by John Nixon near Alloway
station on Thursday night, Sept. Goth had
succeeded in getting away from him in
some manner. A careful search for the
animal proved unavailing until yesterday
morning, when the dead body of the horse
was found lying in a ditch on the farm Of
Frank Keen, near Miller's saw-mill. The
horse had entered the lane, gone around
the barn and in crossing one of the fields
some distance from the house had fallen
into the ditch. The wagon and harness
were still attached to the body, and the
ground around vas dug up by the efforts
of the animal to free itself. The front
wheel of the wagon had also been kicked
to PIECES IN its struggles. The poor horse
had probably been dead several days, as it
had lain in its awful position nearly two
weeks, and the buzzards having scented
the body led to the search in which the
discovery was made. 1t is said that the
driver of the team was under the influence
of liquor when he started from Alioway,
and that the lines had been tied around
the dash, which would account for the
fact of his SO easily losing control of the
| animal.

Another good thing that the Prohibition
party has done is that it Las set men to
thinking (as Lightning requests us to do
and they are now as never before looking
into the merits of both old parties, and
this is just what our Republican friends
most fear, as it uncovers their corruption
and reveals their double dealing. When
they read the history OF the last National
Republican Convention and see even from
Republican journals that it was the most
fearfully rum-soaked and rum-eursed con.
vention ever held IN this continent, and
yet to know that this is the boosted tenn.
perance reform party that Lightning
would have temperance men vote for.
Now these are the revelations that make
Lightning turn pale.
Another good thing our party has done;
it has already opened the eyes of many
honest men, as the late third party con-
vention in Pennsylvania showed when the
| reuuest was made for all delegates who
had lately united with the party to rise
and a large number rose, many of whom
are among the most honorable of the
| State. Now this only proves that honest
men are thinking and acting.
Another good thing our party has done
is it has driven the Republican party into
the last ditch of high license and thereby
| compelled the party to show its hand.
| Our party has compelled the Republicans
TO make a choice of high license rather
than to lose the run vote and the choice
will ruin and damn them, as it is impos-
sible to hold the better element much
longer, to be ruled and cuffed by the most
base and corrupt tools of the party. Then
it will be rum or no rum and that will
prove the overthrow of the rum power.
But Just as long as the beer men can rule
both old parties they will divide their vote
between them, as they know that is their
only hope of life, because just as soon as
the whisky men are compelled to stand
alone they are surely defeated. Some
mills grind slow but they grind sure.
Now these are some of the good things
the Prohibition party has done, but for
| Liqhfainq to say I'VE hate rum and be-
| lieve in its overthrow and the very next
breath to be found pleading for high
license for crime in its worst form, is in
consistent in the extreme. Prohibitionists
say no license for crime, high or low.
Now it is clear to every thinking mar that
the Republican high license-local option
law and the Democratic Werts' law Of
New Jersey were intended as compromises
with the whisky men. We have no OBJ
| lection to a man claiming to be a Repnb-
lican, but for that party to set up a claim
to be a temperance party, with its rum
cursed leaders as they now have their
| grip on the offices, is simply ridiculous.
| Camden, where Lightning is published, by
the grace of the Republican party, has
more schools of vice, or saloons, than ever
before, and yet Lightning has the audacity
to call the Republican 4 reform party.
| And when Pennsylvania voted on the
amendment neatly ali the Republican pa
pers positively opposed or by insinnation
tried to crush it. Now no ordinary man
has enough total deprasity in him TO call
| such q party a temperance reform party.

The question is frequently asked "Why
do Prohibitionists arraign the Republic
can and o the Democratic party?' |
answer by asking why does a judge on the
bench, when two criminals are found guilty
by the grand jury Of grave crimes, and arc
brought to the bar and asked, "Do you
plead guilty or not guilty." and one says
guilty, but the other mot guilty" Now
why does the judge proceed to try the
man who says mot guilty Can
Liqhtning tell US? The Democratic party
pleads guilty of sympathy with the rum
power, but the Republican party pleads
not guilty and we propose to proceed at
once with the trial and prove to all respect
able men that it is not a temperance
party, but that it is guilty of completely
with the liquor traffic and that with hat in
hand they are ready to obey their rum
bosses. But when the Republican party
gets honest enough to plead guilty of obe-
dience to their beer masters we will put
it side by side with the Democratic party.

q. Il. U. RESOLUTIONS.

The following are the resolutions adopt
ed at the session of the Salem county w.
c. L. U. last week.
Res0lped, That we express our heartfelt
thanks to the church who so kindly have given
us this house for our Conventions: to the ladies
who have so bountifully provided for our en-
tertainlnent, and to all others who have
aided in the pleasure or success of orr meet
ing.
Resolved, That W. gratefully acknowledge
the kindness of the press for their readiness to
publish our notices of meetings, programmes
and other articles free of charge.
Resotued, That we endorse the Sunshine
Mission, y believing that it is a good work, and
q much needed one.
Whereas. The right of suffrage has been
taken away from the women of New Jersey
withou their consent, therefore,
Resotued, That we believe our right to the
ballot should be restored by the Legislature.
Resolved, That because the Liquor Traffic is
IL curse and only Il curse, and because the
Democratic party openly oppose its extinction
by prohibition, ana the Republican party
favors it by high license, we therefore espouse
the cause of the Prohibition party, as the only
party who offers protection to the Home
against the saloon, and while we may not
vote, we will use our influence for its success.

To Enforce Game Laws.

Percy c. Oil, President Of the New Jer-
sey Fish and Game Protective Society, has
expressed his intention to have prepared a
bill for presentation to the next Legisla-
ture, OF most novel provisions. OF late
years the various game societies have done
much toward the enforcement of the State
game laws. Mr.. OIL believes, however,
that some new method of guarding game
from molestation out OF season must be-
come universal throughout the State. 1t
is undoubtedly true that credit for enforc-
ing the laws has also been due to the Game
Wardens, but as the latter are generally
dependent upon the arrest and conviction
of a law-breaker for compensation, they
do not feel like leaving regular business oe-
equations in search Of supposed violators.
Mr.. Ohl's remedy, which may sometime be-
come a law, is to tax every shotgun and
fowling-piece within the limits of the State.
The tax for the enforcement of the game
laws will thus be imposed directly upon
those who are interested. A tax of 50 per
gun has been suggested as a minimum
amount, whereby a sufficient sun may be
raised for the desired object, amounting to
perhaps $50, 900 per year. To avoid the
annoyance and expense of collecting this
tax it is proposed to make it compulsory
with everyone owning a gun to bring it to
a Justice of the Peace or County Clerk and
receive a certificate or a metal attachment
to the gun with the year stamped upon 1t.
MIR. Oil has received encouragement from
his proposed action.
