The Millionaire's Secret.

"The secret of success" said the prince
of American millionaires, ''is very simple.
Keep out of debt, keep your head cool
and your bowels OPEN" Thus in twelve
words of wisdom was summed up the
policy which turned poor boy into a
hundred Millionaire. Success often hinges
upon as small matter as the state of the
bowels. So, you see that DR.. Pierce
Pleasant Purgative Pellets are not only
the royal road to health, but to wealth
and happiness as well.

GEN. FISKyS POSITION ,

About two weeks ago the New \ ork
Mail and Express contained despatch
that announced that, in conversation
with ex-senator Sewell, Gen.. Clinton b.
Fisk had announced his intention to with
draw from the third party and support
the Republican nominations in New DER
sey this Fall, be deeming that the only
way to save our State from the grip of
rum-so clearly shown in the late Demo-
cratic Legislature. There was logic and
good sense in the words attributed to
Gen. Fisk, and the article bore evidence
of truth. Gen. Fisk is a resident of our
county and one of tho Oldest subscribers
of this paper. While his alleged utter
ance was pleasing to us, politically and
in the line of temperance, yet its import
was of such magnitude that, in all fair
ness, the article required verification be-
fore being published. 1t was clipped
from the Mail and Express and sent to
him with . request that he inform us
whether or not it was correct in whole or
part.
Gen. Fisk was absent from home when
the letter was sent and the reply was
therefore delayed. In the meanwhile
other dispatches appeared fatty contra
dieting the first report and branding it as
an "unconscieneeable lie." Third party
papers were, of course, foremost and en-
phatic in the denial.
On Wednesday evening of this week
the following letter reached this office:
RuMsoN HILL,
SEABRIeHT, N. j., May Z, 1880.
JOHN L. COFFIN, ESQ.,,
The Journal Asbury Park, N. j.
Mv Dear Sir:-Your favor of the Goth
ult., with enclosure waited my return
from brief absence. The clipping you
sent me is misleading. 1t is true that so
far as New Jersey is concerned there are
many who will combine with all the good
Temperance people of the State to over
throw the whiskey olgarchy recently sit
ting in Trenton, called the Legislature.
l remain Prohibitionist; | cannot help
that but am willing to unite with all
good people to place in our Legislature q
set of men who are willing we should say
at the ballot boxes in each county whether
or not the dram shops shall be closed.
Yours very truly,
CLINTON B. FISK.
Although the statement that he had
left the Prohibition party was misleading
and untrue, yet the very essence of. what
mains in this letter over Gen. Fisk's own
signature, and it confirms The Journal
in the opinion it has ever held of our es.
teemed co.resident of Monmouth. We
have never doubted the sincerity of his
devotion to the cause of temperance, al
though we have wondered at times at his
course. The shameless wickedness of the
last Legislature and the abject slavery of
New Jersey Democracy to the rum power
have opened the eyes of many third party
men besides Gen. Fisk, and they and he
are manly and true enough to say So.
Gen. Fisk is no less Prohibitionlst than
before; he isno more in favor of the ex-
function of the liquor traffic than is The
Journal. We are glad that he can unite
with us in electing Governor and Legis-
lature that will throttle rum even as rum
has throttled Democracy, for in this we
see the beginning OF the much-sought end.

Counsel for the Nicely brothers appealed
from the judgment Of the Somerset county
court, where they we're convicted Of the
murder Of Farmer Umberger. The appeal
to the supreme court was based on an irreg-
ularity of form in delivery ofth verdict by
the jury. In denying the appeal Judge Pax
son expressed the view Of the higher court
as follows
This harmless blunder Of perhaps in
experienced jury did the defendants no harm
and the time has gone by when : convicted

cality"

Although the murierers OF Herman Um-
bsrssr have been tried, found guilty, and
sentenced, and the Supreme Court Of the
state has sustained the conviction, it seems
tlai last desperate effort is 20 be made TO
save them from the galIows. According 10
the daily papers additional counsel have
been employed, and Governor Beaver has
been appealed TO TO postpone fixing the day
for the execution. The Harrisburg Telegraph
OF Friday is authority for the statement
that on that day Messrs. Coffroth aad
KOontz, ex Assistant Attorney General Ly-
man D. Gilbers. and S. J. McCarroll we'll
known Harrisburg criminal lawyer, were
before Governor Beaver to ask him TO post
yone the fixing OF the time for the execution
Of Joseph aud David Nicely. the Somerset
county murderers. Just what effect this
call will have upon the Governor remains 10
be seen. II he were fully acquainted with
eli the facts in the case. be would certainly
name the earliest possible day for the exc
oution. Each day that It is postponed i'm
periis the lives Of the officers who have these
desperate criminals IN charge and adds adj
diiional expense TO the taxpayers Of the
county, snd these gentlemen % have al
ready cost the county a pretty sum. Addi-
tionAl waichmen have had to be kept on
guard day and night ever since they made
their murderoUs attack upon Deputy Sheriff
McMiIen, aud il is only by the closest vigi-
lance that it has been possible 10 retain
them in the insecure old jail. No good can
possibly come of delaying the time, and the
interests Of justice demand that the dread
sentence Of the law be speedily and rigidly
executed. The commission Of crime is
more efieciually prevented by the certainty
ihsa by She severity Of punishment. On
weinesday evening, February q. 1850,
Herman Cmbcrger was murdered. On The
following Monday Joseph and David Nicely
were arrested. charged with the crime The
next day they were given a hearing before
