Man, as a mere animal, is the infe-
rior of many earthly creatures in
strength, agility, beauty and warlike
equipment. When we regard him as a
mere brute, though we place him in the
front rank of such creatures, we can not
but feel q contempt for him. 1t is only
when he is viewed as moral being, en-
dowed with features of soul that ally
him to Gcd and ennoble him above the
! animals, that he commands our venera-
ton and love. The more perfect this
moral excellence becomes, the higher
! the man stands in the estimation Of

The election held in Bridgeton last Tues
day was the most exciting of any taking
place in that city for years. 1t was a fight
for license or no license, pure and SIMPLE
and no other Issue was involved III the
canvass. The friends of the liquor traffic
had declared the year through that IN lo9o
Bridoeton would return a license majority
for Council. They seemed, too, to have
some reason for the declaration. Council
was A tic on the question and the utmost
indifference appeared on the part of the
no.lieense party, while the opposition ex-
pected to carry all the wards of the city,
and were so sure of this that on the day of
election Il license Councilman assured a
gentleman of our acquaintance that moth
ing short of a victory i'll all the wards
would satisfy him. Council met on cleo
ton evening, and so positive were the
license party that they had won at the
polls that application to sell liquor was
made by tive of the hotel proprietors.
But while man proposes God disposes, and
now after election the question remains
exactly as last year, a tie.
The ways of the license party in and out
of Council. before and after election, and
at all times, are those that be dark and
full of tricks. All remember how they
attempted to play the racket on the tenn
perance Council, when Woodruff was sup
posed to be seriously i'll and unable to be
present. This circumstance is SO recent
and withal SO fresh in the memory of most
persons as to need DO repeating. 1t has,
perhaps, slipped the memory of some,
though, of the way they continued license
one whole year in Bridgeton by bribing,
hiring Or in some way keeping a pseudo
temperance Councilman away from the
chamber at the critical time, and how at
one time and another, in this way and
that, they have over-matched the temper
ance party by pure jugglery. Well, the
late canvass with hem was no exception
along this line. They were sure that the
First and Second wards would return
license Councilmen, but were not 50 GER
tain of the Third and Fourth wards, and
so in the Third ward got the whole negro
contingent eve are told about the whole)
to nominate 4 license candidate on the Re-
publican ticket for Council, and then al
lowed tie Democratic license Councilman
to buy what he conld of the number.
In the Fourth ward the proceedings on
their part bordered close to rascality.
Here they disfranchised over thirty voters
by refusing them n vote because not regis
tered, eceyy one Of aohom aoas a no-license
U0ter. After all this, however, they were
beaten in both wards, losing their candi-
date in the Third by ten to fifteen votes
and in the Fourth by over sixty. These
tricks will do them 10 good, but in time
will come to plague their inventors.
License will not be granted in Bridgeton
this year, and perhaps not for many years
to come.

I'm seryin' Jim as lie wants to be served.
And If was ridin' for the Lord I'd believe
it was His wish that I'd ride out in the ra-

keep His herd from bein' branded by the

to read it over. When a crittur has had
his moral natur starved ever sence he was
a calf, and been let run a human maverick
till the devil took pity o him, jest cause
nobody else didn't look after him, and put
his brand on him so deep that even in the

Miss Frances E. Willard says concerning
the higher education Of women
IF, to take up the classics, she must
lay down the dust brush and broom; if,
while her mind brightens, her manners
rust; if a taste for Homer is incompatible
with a taste for home; il, in fine, she must
put off the crown of wOmanliness ere She
can wreathe her brow with the laurels of
scholarship, then, for the sake of dear hui
manity, let her fling away the laurels that
she may keep the crown. She must gain
without losing, or all is lost. Be this her
motto: ''Womanliness first-afterward,
what you will"
