There is no question that the admission
of new States by the present Congress has
been almost entirely for political purposes,
and been successful in so far as the seating
of new Senators, whose terms will not ex-
pire until after the Presidential election, is
concerned, but whether these States can be
counted upon to cast their electoral vote for
the Republican candidate is very doubtful.
The party, by its action in Congress, is most
assuredly paving the way to its own de-
structron, for the people in the new States
are Westerners, ana Western interests are
being now rapidly united in political har-
mony to demand tariff reform and to put
stop to legislation designed to benefit the
money and manufacturing interests of the
East at the expense of the consumers

fits I have derived for my children from
the use of Ayers most excellent Cherry
PectoTal. ] had lost two dear children
from Group and consumption, and had
the greatest fear of losing my only re-

"In the winter of 1885 I took bad
cold which, in spite of every known
remedy, grew worse, so that the family
physician considered me incurable, sup
posing me to be in consumption. AS q
last resort I tried Ayers Cherry Pecto-

CASTLES IN THE AIR.
N. D. NJ.

When the busy day is over
With its troubles and It's woes,
And the sweet. refreshing twilight
Brings us quiet and repose;
When my heart is free from sorrow.
From its pain and carkiug care.
1 have sought relief and pleasure
Building cas- ties in the air.
Though on earth my purse Is empty,
And my clothes are old and torn,
And my face is wan and haggaTd,
And my figure bent and worn,
Yet in those blissful moments
1 am young and debonair,
And clad in gorgeous raiment
In my castle in the air.
And in the Gothic doorway
or my castle grand and tail,
With its towers reaching skyward,
And its battlements and wall,
see the slender figure
Ofa maiden young and fair.
'Tis the sweet and charming mistress
Ofmy castle in the air.
But as 1 hasten toward her,
The castle fades away;
The maid is but shadow
In the twilight cold and gray;
The castle walls are ruins,
Where once it stood is bare,
And naught is left but mem'rtes,
Of my castle in the air.

Sir, in the face of these appalling facts
and cruel figures of ruin to the farmers of

the Middle States and Of the Mississippi
Valley, who will now confront the country
and eulogize the workings and the results
of system of tariff protection which, after
continuous trial of twenty eight years,
has accomplished nothing save the concen
tration, the amassment Of enormous wealth
in a few protected and privileged hands,
depriving the people of sufficient amount
of currency in circulation, impoverishing
and enslavipg wage-laborers, and ipflicting
upon farmers such condition of financial
wretchedness as to fill their hearts with
bitterness and resentment against the law

such shameful disasters have overtaken the
most meritorious, he most useful, the

the depopulation of the agricultural regions
of New England and their abandonment to
the bush and the bramble; with a home

mortgages on their lands on terms as to

The Infamons Rallot LAW.

The Infamous Ballot Law.
Once again, the event justifies our
often expressed opinion of the So
called Ballot Reform law. Whether
through error or design, this precious
statute not Only deprives candidates
and their supporters of their constitu-
tional rights as citizens; but also
takes away from them the right of
appeal to the courts.
Under Judge Knapp's ruling today
and, of course. there is no room to
doubt the soundness of SO eminent a
jurist's view of the case-minority
parties have no against the
wicked schemes of majorities. The
Supreme Court never sits in banc at
this time of year, it cannot possibly
be appealed to until after the election,
and yet it is the only court that can
afford relief against the practical dis
reimbursement of thousands of voters.
The system of appeal provided by
this precious statute is like comforting
a right of appeal in murder cases, to
be exercised, however, only after the
hanging.
Fortunately there is another court
IL this country which never suspends
its sittings, the Court OF Public Opin-
ion, and the Ease Of the Jeffersonian-
Labor candidates against the Ring
will be heard and judged therein in o
fashion that will discourage political
villainy for some time to come.

They'll Do as They Like, After All.

They'll Do as They Like, After ALL
The managers of the Ring canvass
cannot spread a very bounteous table
of hope with the p~erfunctory support
the Hudson County Liquor Dealers
Association gave them yesterday.
There was a cut and dried aspect
about the adoption of the resolutions
for the endorsement OF the Rings
County ticket, and most of those
in attendance seem to have
preserved a thoughtful and
discreet silence while two or three, or
it may be, half a dozen, did the voting
for them. There was nothing of the
enthusiasm manifested which is the
usual earnest of sincere sympathy and
determination. They knew that even
after the resolutions had been adopted
they could go back to their saloons
and do pretty much as they pleased.
And they will probably do IL.
How could the Ringsters expect it
to be otherwise2 The liquor men are
to perform their part of the bargain
first. For the performance OF the
other half they have only the assur-
ance of the little joker boss, and this
has been declared to be utterly
worthless and unreliable by the cam
didates for Assembly, who indig-
nantly repudiate his assumption that
they are his slaves. If they vote for
the Liquor law notifications the
liquor men ask, it will be
for other reasons than that
Bob Davis commands them; and
the association can be under no obi
cation to him for their aid. II they
are not disposed to vote for them,
Boss Davis cannot make them.
The liquor men of the county are
shrewd men; and they see, as clearly
as Boss Davis sees, that they are Civ
ing something for nothing; and it is
altogether likely that, while they are
not unwilling to appear on the sur
face to be with the Ring, they will
exercise their own independent per-
sonal judgment in the support of its
candidates.
That there is wide disaffection
among them is demonstrated clearly
enough by Bob Davis frantic efforts
to get them, even apparently, in line.
1t has never heretofore been necessary
for a Democrat to solicit the liquor
dealers to hold up their right hands
and swear fealty to the Democratic
candidates; and they would not have
been asked to do it this time if Bob
Davis had not. been frightened by the
extent of the threatened revolt among
them.

of su pererogation. The man who
needs help in this campaign is
John J. McPhillips, aid he needs it
sorely. But the tariff issue will
do him little good. The Ring issue
is the one that is s~trangling him.

State Democracy could have ex-
planned away a few of the crimes of
that infamous combination, he might
have advanced the prospects of its
puppet. But even the skill OF; Allan

equal to that task, and he very wisely
