NoNYAeuE's iOLUMt.

Montague has tho pleasure
Of announcing that his mann
moth stock is now being re-
plenished with new goods
weekly--his large and in
creasing sales requiring a con-
stant supply Of new goods.
His prices will be 50 low that
for self preservation close buy
crs who pay on the spot for
their purchases will necessa-
rily do their buying Of him.
It is to the interest Of every
person to patronize their
home merchants. The fact is,
a town without merchants
would be q very singular one
in any country, and yet every
town is blessed (?) with a few
people who always work
against their own and their
neighbors' interests by advo-
eating some other place as a
better one than their own to
do their trading in. Lebanon
is not entirely exempt from
those who ought to be loyal to
and work for the upbuilding
of their city, but who are un-
fortunately quite the reverse.
Much capital has already been
driven away from Lebanon by
this course, and many con-
templated enterprises that
would have enhanced values
in this vicinity have been
abandoned through the ma
lign influence Of chronic
cranks. Let us all work to-
gether for our homes and
our own people, and the day
is not distant when we will
have as prosperous an inland
town as there is in this State.
Merchants here in every line
will sell you goods as low as
they can be sold anywhere.
They are always with you to
help to assist in every public
enterprise. Montague voices
the sentiment Of the mercan-
tile community of Lebanon
when he says that he will sell
you anything that you want
from his mammoth stock at
the lowest living rates. His
stock is a very large one, and
the goods must be sold. Drop
in and be convinced. There
is no good logic in building uI
} other cities at our own ex'
pense.
; The farming community
understand their own interests
well, and they know that tt

WatchInr and PreyIng.

novel sight was witnessed over the
northern part Of the town at noon yes
torday. Those who are familiar with the
habit Of birds Of prey know that the
eagle makes a slave Of the osprey or FISH
ing hawk so far as he can as food gath
erer. The hawk had caught fish for his
dinner. presumably from one of our ad-
jacent mill ponds. An eagle which had
been watching the movements of the
hawk saw the silvery scales as the latter
bore il up on its pinions, and started in
rapid pursuit, determined to have that
fish all for himself The hawk seemed as
determined to hold ON to it. Neither
of them are birds that come about a
town, but perhaps the hawk thought the
eagle would desist II it flew over where
so many people were, but in this 1t was
mistaken. Several circles were made
around the spire Of the Episcopal Church,
up and down, and il was not until they
got over Delaware street that the hawk
let go its hold on the fish This was all
the eagle wanted, and in a space of per-
haps less than fifteen feet from where it
had left the hawks claws, the eagle had
caught It in its talons, and sailed away to
some tree to eat its dinner, and be on the
lookout for that or some other hawk to
in the same way provide its supper

NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE.

The Direct Tax Bill Again Discussed
without Result.
TRENTON, n. j., April 5.-The house again
went into committee of the whole ON the
direct tax bill. Mr.. Riker got the floor and
made a speech in favor of the adoption of a
bill drafted by himself TO take the place Of
the direct tax bill. He said his bin cut down
all the state appropriations, curtailing the
estimated expenses for the present fiscal year
to about $250,0O0 or 100000 Mr.. Riker's
substitute caused considerable debate, which
was cut short by the adoption Of a motion
that the committee rise and report progress.
The vote by which the Newark water bond
bill passed the senate was reconsidered, and
the bill was amended by the insertion OF a
provision that railroad property should not
be considered in the assessed valuation Of Is
per cent The bill was re-engrossed and
passed again.

The Republican papers in years gone
by have always severely criticised Demo
cratic Legislatures for having so much
printing done To-day no one ever hears
the cry aud why? Because the House has
had over ~ 900 worth Of printing done
at the office of the State Sentinel, Re
publican paper. while the Democratic
Senate has not had 500 worth DONE
The Republicans can now see that the
feet under the table are Of a different
color. We are not opposed to printing
public spirited bills for the Legislature
should do this, Democratic ones did, but
their printing bills never amounted to
anything like what the Houses will this
session. Every little unimportant bill
has been printed and for no other reason
than patronage for a Republican paper.

he is not entitled to vote, properly So II
he viii not perform such a simple duty
There is no escaping the dilemma that
man gets into who does not pay his taxes.
He is either too ignorant or too vicious
to pay. he is ignorant because the dir
ections are SO PLATA that an intelligent
man cannot err. Any man who really
wished to pay can easily find way TO
pay. A man who wishes to vote without
bearing his proper share of expense
without showing a disposition to comply
with the simplest duty of citizen-is
vicious and not worthy Of suffrage.

There certainly should be free text
books, for then there would be no delay
at every term Of school in having books
for the scholars, and the cost would be
very little above the present taxes. In
the end it would save the parents quite a
little sum, for the books could be pur-
chased by each district, or a
larger body in larger quantities and
by bids, thus the cost would be about the
same as book stores pay for them, while
to-day the parent has to pay two or three
commissions Another much needed
feature is some established system of
study. There are some schools where
different branches are taught and a
change of books nearly every
term. We certainly should have
a curriculum for the whole county OF
state. then scholars would know what
they We're TO study for at least one year,
There is one very bad feature in the
present bill, and that is the changing or
going back to the old state superinten-
dency This feature of the bill seems to
have political smell about it. Two
years ago state superintendents were
abolished and county ones substituted,

Itwas the prohibition question that
kicked up all this political bobberv in
Rhode Island. lt seems that there was no
systematic or earnest effort to enforce
prohibition, and the lawlessness that
followed with it's increased dissipation,
disgusted the people.to such an extent
that both parties were compelled to de
clare in favor of iesubmitting the ques-
tion. One of the peculiar features of the
Rhode Island case is that the lawless

Serious Charges Against the State Printer

The Chris niagee Bill.
HARRISBURG, April 5.-In the senate, when
The ball providing that companies and corpo-
rations shall not engage in any business other
than that for which they were chartered was
called up ON third reaiing, Mr.. Watres said
that the bill had been badly butchered in the
reprinting with the amendments made on sec
Dad reading. He said it was time that atten-
ton was called to the carelessness of the state
printer. Mr. Hines said that the bill had for
the fourth time come from the printers in a
bungled shape. He could forgive printer
who would make one mistake, but when he
did the some thing it looked as If the printer
had been tampered with The senate had
been honest enough TO consider the bill and
pass it, and there was only one thing for the
corporations TO do, and that was 10 tackle the
printers. The bill is one drawn TO reach the
case Of mining corporations which furnish
powder to their miners at exorbitant prices.
II is believed that the Chris Magee railroad
bill will be beate'A when il is reached to-day.

There is considerable interest taken in

PottstOwn Club il was decided not to
enter into a league with Norristown.
There is considerable feeling between the
two cities, and If they both enter the
