Our esteemed Prohibition contemporary,
the Woodsto@n MONITOR, discusses the
question of publishing the laws in the
newspapers at great length in its last
issue 1t intimates that the papers which
do not appear on the list are the only pa
pers having souls of their own, and says:
They don't have to eat dirt and crow at
any mans bidding. They don't have to
lie and steal to make an honest living.
They don't have to boost a man for office
they know as unfit to carry fodder to a
bear; nor praise men with souls the black
ness OF hell; nor come up smiling, year by
year, with that little assessment; nor be
m~ortgaged soul and body to a sonlless
party" The MONITOR is a good newspa-
per, but is may be needless to say that it
does not appear ION the list. "-Camden
Courier.
That is to say, if son the list" no such
an article as the above would appear in the
MONITOR columns, which is good so far
as it goes, but the unsupplied a~ddendum,
mo sale no list, no list no SALE" is want
ing to make the sense complete. Were
the MONITOR ION the list" it would be, as
about everybody knows, with an under
standing, and the publishers would be
confronted with a theory involving GER
tain conditions-conditions of 'iunocuous
desuetude" and ''~pernicious inactivity"
when rafting among the party skeletons
in the party closet.
Does any one suppose for a moment that
our good brethren of the Courier, honor
able and straightforward as we know them
TO be, would naiyely commit political sui
eide by giving away the secret as to how
''the list" is obtained and the party silence
on the subject maintained, (after ''the
list has been handed the C0urier pub
lishers)? Certainly not. Could any one
imagine SO impossible a thing Of Bro. Pat
%tersou, of the Salem National Standard, a
preacher, teacher and sort of Allegheny
mani? Not easily. Then put yourself in
his place and ~personate for the moment
Bro. Smith, of the Salem South J~erseyaadn,
the great referee on the fish question and
most geracious chronicler Of matters con-
corning the fnny tribe, and allow some
interviewer to put such questions as these:
How much is paid the newspapers annual
~ to publish the laws? Who pays it?
Who is benefited by it? Who reads them
after being published? And lastly, how
much is there in it for the publisher? We
see the seersncker smile playing over the
placid face of our fshy brother as the
several queries are propounded. Bro.
Chew, Of the West Jersey Press, is one of
the fairest publishers in the newspaper
fraternity, as before learning so much he
was one of the handsomest, and if any IN
nocent enquirer after truth is laboring
under the hallucination that the bottom
facts concerning the steal may be obtained
from Bro. Chew, let them send in their
card at about dinner time when in Cam
den, and they will know then how it is for
themselves.
Can Bro. Newlin, Of the Millville Re
publican, who didn't get son the list this
year, be depended upen for the truth at

EXTRACTS from a private letter from Mi
Lizzie a. Lippincott
INTERLAKEN, SWITZERLAND,

~
Monday, June 23th, 1890.
This is one of the most delightful
places you can imagine. We came here
from Luzerne last Seventh-day; do not
know how long we will remain. The town
is very small, is situated in a valley, entire
ly surrounded by mountains, except on one
side by the lake, which is very beautiful.
The mountains, and indeed the whole
place, is the widest we have seen. The
mountains are very high, and some of the
sides are perfectly straight walls of solid
rock, which rise to a terrific height. The
tops still have some snow on them, but
from my window | can see the Jungfrau,
which is always covered with snow. 1t
looks very near, but there are two ranges
of mountains between the town and it.
Yesterday (First-day, just think of it) we
took a carriage for the day; and started out
to see a glacier. Wefirst drove to Lauter-
%brunnen, where the horses were rested.
We were then quite near the Jungfrau,
and it looked very beautiful. The town is
very tiny, and so quaint. 1t is composed
entirely ofSsiss cottages. The name Lau-
terbrunnen means many springs, and |
think it is rightly named. Through the
valley rushes a beautiful stream, which
comes from the melting snow and ice. The
mountain sides are nearly all bare rock,
that rise perpendicularly. and all around
are beautiful little waterfalls. The larg-
est and finest one makes a drop of $50
feet, but the water is nearly all spray when
it reaches the bottom. 1t is very beautiful
indeed, but it would be impossible to des-
cribe the scenery we saw yesterday. The
valley is very winding and narrow, so
place where we would seem entirely shut
in.
After we left Lauterbrunnen, we started
to Grindelwald, where We were to climb
up to a glacier. The drive was very beau
tiful, but the road IA very steep for the
horses. After quite a long drive, we
reached the town, which is much ON the
same order as Lautcrbrunncn, only it has
one hotel, which is quite modern looking.
We had a little lunch, and started out for
our climb, which was something very high.
The first of our path was very smooth,
and shaded nth trees, so it was very pleas
ant. But we had not gone far from the
hotel, before it began to pour! We hadtwo
umbrellas, in the party, but we got pretty
wet. 1t rained off and on nearly all day,
but we managed to escape the worst of it.
When we reached the foot of the noun
tain it was enough to frightenA one, it
looked so straight up, but we started, and
after a steady climb Of over an hour
| reached the glacier, for which we were all
exceedingly thankful. The man at the
hotel told us il We got near enough to the
| ice to touch it with our sticks, we would
be satisfied, but we walked on it. They
have cut a grotto ont of the ice, which We
| visited. We went through a sort of tun-
! mel, and every once in a while some awful
ly cold water would fall on you. Then
we came to little room, dimly lighted, in

Picture orIntemperance.

A subscriber requests us to republish the
following graphic picture of intempe-ance
which was painted by DIR. A. Nj. Collins. 1t
is a strong picture. Read IL; then shut
your eyes aud you can see it. Why do you
shudder? This is only the picture in re-
ality that you are responsible for. DR.. Col
Inns says:
The awful horrors which are entailed
upon the human family by this monster
evii-intemperanee-can never be over
stated. The man does not live who can
tell the whole story OF its woes. Exagger-
alton is impossible; for the tired fancy fall
tiers in its loft:est flight long ere it reaches

this most crucial and exasperating period
of his life? Can any of the scariied host,
who are 'sin the same boat" with Newlin,
| be depended upon for an expose of tbe true
inwardness of the matter We greatly
| fear not. Good fellows though they be,
every one of them, as also the score OF un-
mentioned others up and down the State,
they are. nevertheless, so chained to dull
earth and 'the exigencies" of party facts
as to be unable to rise above their dead
| selves and prove but sorry witnesses at
| this, the peoples, hearing. Indeed how
can it be otherwise with these poor fell
lows, who. in their dealings with the
party, are like the Absolute, having &c
relation to time or place, and know only
what the party allows them to know and
tell.
We nave put ourselves in their place and
reasoned thusly: Suppose the MONITOR
should receive from $500 to $1,000 annually
for publishing the laws, from 500 to 5000
for the county statement, as much more
for the sherif's sales, Board OF Freehold
ers' report, borough statement, ordinances
and the like, aggregating something over
SO, 600 per year on that which cost us less
thar 5000 to furnish, wouldn't the Mon
IToR try somehow to " ork kind o smoothly
and keep the party traces dangling to the
outside of our trotters while in harness?
Kind o. fear we should, and here is where
ssthe conspiracy of silence" Oh this matter
comes in. Editors talk about the Nor
mons, about the great menace to the
country of corrupt public and private
trusts, about the Standard Oil Company,
the annexation of Canada, the war in Ire
land, and almost every other abuse except
the one to which they are subsidized, and
of which we o speak.
Who, though, can expect less? Is it in
human nature to suppose that the poor
newspaper man, with bread and butter to
obtain for his family, is going to do less
than close his eyes to the wicked COM
bine'' and conveniently forget for the
nonce that the public expects more OF
him than of their grocer, their merchant,
| their butcher. With nearly $40 a week
| profit the year through he will constantly
| forget to say that the laws, as given out
and published in the newspapers, are a
| grand fraud as well as a grand larceny,
and that the Abbett(ors) of the steal
should be put behind the sort of bars that
AVE no decanters or wine.glasses on the
shelf. The State is at fault for buying
outright the virtue and integrity of the
newspaper class, and the press is at fault
for trying to p~erpetuate the buy.
The other day we were in the presence
of several gentlemen discussing this evil,
the opinion most expressed being that it
would soon be a thing of the past, when
a prominent editor present said: mo, the
newspapers have toe much Of a hold on
the politicians for that. The laws will be
published in the newspapers in the future
as at present, and we will be paid as at
present. and neither the Legislature or the
people can prevent it," Let the people
seriously consider this source of party cor
ruption, and while they blame the news
papers much, let them remember that the
authority that makes the evil possible
lodges in themselves, and blame them
selves most.

AT the meeting for the organization of
the Board of Trustees of the Salem county
Almshouse, held May 10Th, 1890, the GUS
tom of granting pensions of so cents a
week to persons outside ofth Almshouse,
was brought up for discussion, and alter a
long debate, the secretary was directed to
have a communication printed in the diff
ferent papers Of the county. asking for the
terested in charitable wo,k on this sub
ject.
There is a steady increase in the number
of persons making applications for pen
sions, and whose applications are signed
by some ofthe best residents of the county,
and a steady decrease in the number OF ill.,

The secretary's book show that on Aug.
ust 9th, 1883. tho number of inmates OF
the Almshouse was Ct; number on the pen
sion list, so; number of inmates May 9TH,

The pension list for the year ending May
9th, 1890, amounted to s1750.50
1t seems to be a question, whether we
shall maintain an Almshoue, or whether
the poor shall all be pensioners. The
Board of Trustees deem this a very inn
portant question, and earnestly solicit the
opinions of their fellow-citizeps and tax
payers on the subject. All letters should
be directed TO the secretary before the
next regular meeting, Monday, August 4.

The Supreme Court of Michigan has de-
cided that a woman is a person, and can
legally fill the position Of deputy county
clerk. The test case was that of Wilson
VS.. the Genesee circuit judge, asking for a
writ of mandamus to compel the setting
aside of an attachment on the ground that
the writ was signed by a woman deputy
county clerk, Miss Burr, Of Flint. The
writ was denied on June IS, and a point is
thus scored in favor of c~ominon-sense and
equal human rights.

prising the second district shalt be
turned over 10 sheriff Billings, of 'Thurs.
ton county, who was the contractor for
the custody OF the state convicts prior to
the construction OF the penitentiary ut
Walla Walla His prison buildings At
Bucoda are still in fairly good condition
and II is claimed they can be easily
made acceptable for the purposes of q
penitentiary. The governor, secretary
OF state and state auditor are constituted
board OF commissioners, and tho
prison must bo finished, furnished and
conducted under their SUPERVISION,
Sheriff Billings is required to supply
the prisoners with all necessary food
and clothing provide medicine and med
icnl attendance, without expense to the
state, and le is inUdo linblc for ncgli
gcnce or Ill usage, the same as il he were
nm officer of the state. The bill requires
him to defrny all expenses OF transport
ing prisoners from the places OF their
conviction to the prison. His compon-
sauon Is fixed ut 20 cents per
day for each prisoner. and in addition
thereto hc is entitled to the products OF
tho labor Of all convicts committed to
his care. Ample provision is made for
the government OF tho prison, which Is
designed TO be the same as the regula-
tons governing tho pen,tentiary, as
nearly as practicable. In view OF the
fact that the penitentiaTy at Walla
Walla Is overorowdcd, an emergency Is
declared too exist The supposition
prevails at Olympia that the bill will
pass.

FORTUNATE CHENEY.
Passage In the senate of MIR. Grubb's
Normal School Bill.

Representative Grubb was the happiest
man in the legislature to-day. 1t was
caused by the passage in the senate OF
his bill locating q state normal school at
Cheney. his home. The bill was de-
feated about week ago, and the vote
was reconsidered. Since then Senator
Watt and Representative Grubb nave
been working like Troians to get votes
for the bill. This Is the only BILL which
has passed both houses locating state
institution at any particular point.
Representative Judson's bill locating
normal school at Lynden Whatcom
county, was defeated ia the senate to-
day, in the reconsideration of the vote by
which IL failed q few days ago. rI.
MIR. Parkinson amused tho senate by
changing his vote to no to reconsider
again, which is not recognized by par
li0mentary law vs..
Senator Wilson's bill locating nor.
mai school at Ellensburgh, which
passed the senate, will doubtless pass
the house.
Senator Longs bill locating a normal
school at Chehalis Is in imminent dan
ger of defeat, owing 10 the determine
tion of the LOWS county delegation IN
the house to leave the question of loca-
tion to the people of Lewis county.
