singerly, Of the Philadelphia Record, is
singular. He don't believe in prohibition.
He does believe in some sort Of a sawed of
plan Of restriction that viii hurt the rum
seller just a little, hart the rum dtinker a
little more, aud hurt most Of all the tax
payer and decent man, who neither sells
or drinks rum. Now this is singular, we
hold, even for singeriy. And yet, and

aud there is no nonsense in it, either.
A few miles below Philadelphia, along
the Delaware shore, i a park, the most
beautiful, most attractive aud best patron
yea, we are informed. Of any along the
river. Ia this park Mr.. Singerly has a
controlling money interest. aud, as con-
sequence, a controlling management. This
field, or park rather, presents to Mr.. Sing
erly a frst-class opportunity to air his
latitudinarianism, and allow the restricted
sale OF rum, the restricted drinking Of rum,
aud the Unrestricted nuisance Of rum sell
ing and rum drinking intact within its
limits. or course Mr.. Singerly is consist

gives the largest liberty TO the rum seller
and drinker, and tile smallest liberty to
the sufferers from il. just to prove, you
know, that bad men viii respect the priv

informs as, altogether different persons
and quite u~nlike-not more 50, however,
We take it, than the Singefly Of the
Record Office and the .Singerly who mns
the pleasure park along the Delaware.
The number one Sipgerly everybody
knows, the number two -ingerly every
body is coming to know. SingerlY with
his face to the wall and his zach toward
the living, practical world, is altogether a
different person from the Singeriy brought
face to face to deal with the world and
the serious problems Of life. Rum has nc

thousands about him, but don't come neal
