REAL TEMPERANCE WORK,
a CONs ENTE0N CALLED FOE
THE Iitfp OF SEPTEMBER.
All Persons Enterr&Ged in TeAR-
perance Work Rfq quested To
be in Trenton On The
above date.

Rev. A. E. Ballard, President of the
Church Temperance Commission, and
Rev. B. S. Everett, President of the
State Temperance Alliance, have issued
the following invitation to temperance
workers to attend convention to be
held at Newark, on September 18th, to
organize the temperance work of the
State:
AT special meeting of the Church
Temperance Commission and the E1-
ecutive Committee of the State Tenn
perance Alliance OF New Jersey, held
in Trenton, March 28th, 1889, to con-
slider what plan of action should fol-
low the repeal of the option temper
ance law. it was resolved, that we
continue to advise all friends of tera-
perance in New Jersey. without re-
spect to party, to endeavor to elect
members to the Legislature who shan
be pledged to refer the question OF
prohibiting the traffic in intoxicating
drinks as beverage, so far as the
State Constitution will permit, to q
vote of the people at special election
called for the purpose"
1t was advised that a convention OH
basis of harmonious temperance
action in the election of members of
members of the Legislature be held ON
May 23d, 1889. The convention waS-
postponed till later in the season. and
is now fixed for Wednesday, September
11th, at 10 o'clock a. m at the Halsey
Street Methodist Episcopal Church.
Halsey street below New, back OF
Broad street, Newark.
All pastors, church members, mem-
bers of temperance organizations and
affiliated institutions are earnestly
urged to be present and aid in the
effort to organize the temperance work
of the State upon the advice of the
Commission and Alliance, for the coul-
ing elections.
The feeling among temperance peo-
pie generally, as evinced in the eoun-
ties where option elections were held ,
is so strongly III favor of an option
temperance law, whose previous de-
fects shall be remedied and whose
provisions shall be advanced as far as
it can safely be done in accordance
with the State Constitution, that a
united effort of the friends of temper.
ance upon this line has a reasonable
prospect of success iu the next legisla-
tive elections.
The issues of the present campaign
are SO farreaching so largely deter
mining for good or evil the future Of
the cause, SO entirely ruinous if neg
lected, and SO full of promise if made a
question of "nOw," that every lover oi
God and humanity is entreated to be
present, if possible, at the convention,
and in putting in motion the plans
through which we hope 10 forward the
good work throughout the State.

PENNSYLVANIA TOURS.

PersOnally-COnducted Pleasure
Tours to Luray. Gettysburg.
Natural Bridge. GrOttOes OF the
SHENANDOAH. the Cities. Of Rich
mOnd and Washington.
In fuffillmeDt of the promises made
last season the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company announces a series of two
personally conducted pleasure tours to
Gettsburg, Luray Caverns, the Natural
Bridge, Grottoes of the Shenandoah,
the cities of Richmond and Washing
ton. The tickets will be sold in Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia, and
other points east of New York, and
the dates have been fixed as follows:
Leaving Boston September 25th and
October 9th; leaving New York and
Philadelphia September Goth and
October 10th. Ten days will be devoted
to each tour, which is ample time to
give each point due attention. A
special train of parlor cars will
leave New York 500 A. NJ, Jersey
City at $40 A. NJ, September Goth and
October 10th, in which the entire round
trip will be made. The parties from

riage hire, has been fixed at the very
! low rate of $61.00 from Boston, SOL 90
from New York, and $49. 90 from Phila-

be purchased in advance. Unused
tick cts will be redeemed at their full
value.
A neat little pamphlet, descriptive
of the tours has been printed, which
can be procured at the offices of the
company.
The high character of these tours in
the past, and the interesting region
| they cover, render them exceedingly
attracti We to all who have the leisure
| for an autumn trip

The Loss in bergen County.

Bergen county farmers report that
the loss to crops by the prolonged
rain storm will amount to many thou
sands of dollars. 1t is said on good au.
thority that at least one-half the pota
to crop will be destroyed by rot; and
hay, oats and grain will be similarly
affected. Daniel Romaine, of Lodi
township, says he will lose 800 bushels
of wheat.

Lucky and Handsome.

Eli Minch finds it as comfortable to
be lucky as it is to be handsome. His
orchards are loaded with apples and
bis peach crops are enormous. He
told PIONEER man the other morning
that he never had such a heavy crop OF
apples as he has this year; his trees
were never SO heavily loaded. Others
say that he has the heaviest loaded
peach orchard in the county.

WANAMAKER DIDN'T KNOW HIS
MAN.

Two weeks ago an independent Repub
lican was appointed Postmaster at Colum-
bia, S C. POSTMASTER GENERAL WANA
MAKER had promised SENATOR HAMPTON
not to remove Mr. GIBBEs, the Democrat
ic P NJ. until his time expired SENATOR
HAMPTON was in Mississippi hunting when
he noticed the appointment He immedi-
ately addressed the following open letter
to the Postmaster General
GLENN ALLEN, Miss, Nov. s, 80.
To Hon JOHN WANAMAKER:
SIR:-The inclosed extract from South
Carolina paper has caused me great sur
prise. Perhaps you may remember, if
your memory is not treacherous, your as
surance to me few days ago that Mr..
Gibbes should not be removed until the
expiration of his term in February next.
Not only did you do this, but you 'volun-
tarily assured me that inasmuch as Col
ombia was my postofflce you would,
when a successor to Mr.. Gibbes was to be
appointed, consult me.
1t is matter of small Importance to
me who takes the place of Mr.. Gibbes,
but as l informed him in passing through
Columbia Of the promise you had made,
you may, perhaps, understand how your
action has placed me in false position.
But it is fortunate for me that Mr.. Gibbes
Will know that l at least told him the truth,
though l was grievously deceived in be-
lieving what was said to me. l shall
know better in future what reliance to
place on statements emanating from the
same source.
The newspapers state that besides man
aging the great Department over which
you preside you are running Sunday
school in Philadelphia, and it occurs to
me that you might with profit to yourself
select as the most appropriate subject OF
lecture to your pupils the instructive
story of Ananias and Sapphira. This
would give you fine field for your elo-
quence in explaining to your young char
ges the Importance of confnlng them
selves to the iruth-eXcept when some
fancied advantage might be obtained over
a political opponent. l am, your obedi-
eQt servant, W WADE HAMPTON.

.sWOMENo AND "LADIES.o
Fayetteville Observer.1

=
PROF. ALDERMAN struck a sympathetic
chord with US when, in his lecture the other
day, he avowed his preference for the
word, women" over ladies'" in the ma
jority of cases the latter term being wo-
fully misapplied. A friend of ours "a SEN
sible fellow, too, in most matters) once de-
iivered a lecture at the University of Vir-
ginia, which he digniied with the title:
The Character Of the Ladies of America. y
The subject matter was SO much better
than the name that We hadn't the heart
to see it so heavily handicapped, and per
suaded him to substitute women for
ladies' Man and woman are the no
blest objects of Gods creation, and their
simple names have dignity and majesty
which appeal against trifiing.
OF course we do not mean to expunge
the word, ''ladies,' entirely from the die
tionary for in most cases Of social usage
it only is proper; but, in speaking or writ
ing of the sex as a class, the substitution
of ladies for women" is piece of
namby pamby soaplockism that is inexcus-
able.
All this is over and above the atrocious
solecism in etiquette of addressing "MR.
BLANK and Lady" instead of MIR. and
Mrs BLANK, F." in notes, cards, invitations,
ETC. But, above all, the man who meets
you IN the street, and asks: How is your
good lady?" referring to your wife, is
ready for killing right then and there.

with Mr. BRoUGHToN that DIR BAILEY had
acted wisely in not Interfering with polti-
cal questions. Certainly the great Baptist
denomination in the State does not desire
its religious paper full of argry political
discussions, and as long as Dr. BAILEY
keeps the Recorder OFT OF POLITICS and IN
RELIGION he will have the goodwill not
only of his denomination but of all Chris
tiaEs. Mr.. J. Nj MCMANAwAY made the
only mistake here | ever knew him to
make, and | have known him long and
heard him preach able and profound SER
mons. No; let politics have no place in
religious paper except as to religious sub
Jects. This ended the afternoons session.
On the next day the Biblical Recorder was
unanimously endorsed as ''the organ of
the Baptists in North Carolina"
l cannot speak at length of the other
discussions of the Convention. | would
like to dwell upon DR. PRITCHARD's ad-
dress on the Ministerial Aid Society in
which he impressively urged the duty of

OF REV. G. a. WoODsoN on taking care of
old preachers; of the earnest and heart
reaching speeches in support of the Bap-
tlst Orphanage by Rev. I. j. TAYLOR, REV.
W. L. WRIGHT, Pew. II. W. BATTLE, and
REV. G. W. SANDERLIN. But space pre-
vents full account. The next session of
the Convention will be held in Shelby and
REV. T. H. PRITCHARD, d. D., will preach
the Introductory sermon.
In conclusion l want to say this: | was
impressed more than ever with the ability
of the leading men of the Baptist denomi-
nation. The addresses and the debates
and the sermons showed a high order of
ability. There are giants among these
men, and the best of it is that there are
plenty of talented young preachers, edu-

is perfect unity of sentiment in favor of

Education lifts men up, and religion sane

.StanislaW karpaeki. a Pole % years old
has been brought to ofatesvlile by Col
Julian Allen. The new arrival cannot
speak word of English and brought his
Polish manners with him. At Raleigh,
where Col Allen stopped with him on his
trip from Baltimore, re kissed the hanos
Of gentlemen who spoke to him. On the
train Senator Vance, engaged in cOnver-
sdTiOn with Col. Allen, learned Who his
companion was and spoke TO him. Col
Allen told him the gentleman was a dis
tnguished man, 4 senator of the United
States, upon which the poor fellow seized
the Senator's hand and kissed it scrviley.
Col. Allen, however, has given him to un
derstand that IN this country one man is
just as good as another if not little bet
ter, and is gradually breaking him of his
osculatory habit.
Stanislaw's first sight of the black man
was in Baltimore. He was walking the
street when he saw two negroes, where
upon he crossed himself and took to his
heels. His impressions Of this country
are delightful and he wrote back from
Raleigh to the Polish priest at Baltimore
that this must be the next thing to heav-
en-. This priest will soon make a tour of
the State, IN company with Col Allen,
with view to locating Polish colony in
North Carolina. Five hundred families
Of them reached Baltimore on The ship
which brought StanisaW Karpacki.

Messrs. Kennier & Lake, of New York,

They have contracts of sufficient enormity
to necessitate the daily shipment of two

There was very animated discussion
about the Biblical RECORDER. For fifty-five
years it has been the organ of the Baptist
church. 1t is a better paper to-day than
II ever was, but it does not please all the
Baptists, and REV. a. G.. MCMANAWAY
made vigorous speech criticizins it for
what he called its gloomy character, lack
of enough paid contributions by eminent
Baptists, and because, as he said it was
not what the patronage gave the Baptists
a right to expect it to be. He gave some
figures which made it appear shat the edi-
tor was getting rich. When he has edited
a paper a year or two he will find that
figures are the greatest liars IN the world
lie is an able man and he spoke his mind
biavely and honestly. But he brought
down upon his head such stirring replies
and sharp criticisms that less brave man
would have quailrc before them. Bishop

he chiefly objected to the Convention OF a
wear ago. 1t seemed 70 be the sentiment
then that the Recorder should not inter

spected that sentiment. He wanted the
Recorder to interfere in public matters and
see that the Baptists got tleir rights. He
criticized the Trustees of the A. and NJ
