opera House Tonight.

Reno s. Ford's comedians in Joshua
6impkins, filed the house last night, aud
to give them the credit due them, we must
say that Joshua Simpkins, Esq, is one of
the most laughabe plays before the Amer
lean public. Plot, story and dramatic con-
sistency have not been sacrificed for mere
horse play and meaningless situation. but
are based on facts in connection with down
east Yankee life, which, portrayed in it's
purity, was funny enough in itself to bring
down the house time apd again during
the evening. The cast is composed OF
ladies and gentlemen, and has evidently
been selected with reference to strong
rendition OF the parts assigned to them.

our Letter BOx.
Answer to s.Ruth-

Ed. MoNIToR:-Between the leaves of
my note book is torn slip of paper from
the MONITOR on which is this query from
Ruth: "Why are not temperance princi-
pies as thoroughly ipculcated into the
minds and hearts of our school children of
the present time as were abolition pripci-
Piles during slavery days?'
My reply to her inquiry is, because the
people have not the spirit of determination
to fight the rum traffic as the abolitionists
battled against the slave power. They
resolved to pnt down slavery and did it.
By way of further reply to "Rnth's"
question let me repeat the words spoken
by Camdcn's most courageous and perse-
vering opponent to the saloon, in meet
ing on Sunday afternoon. lhaye no doubt
about tho MONITOR readers knowing
who mean. Hear him:
Thirty-five years ago attended meet
ing on a Sunday afternoon IN the interest
of freedom. 1t was known as an abolition
meeting. The speaker of the hour said it
was a shame upon the nation that it was
necessary to hold such meeting as WAS
being held at that time. He said, 1.-The
day is coming when there will be no
necessity of such meeting as this On
the occasion to which allude 1t was very
dark Just then so far as the liberation OF
the slave was concerned for it was the
darkest period of the slave power, yet in
five or six years from thattime every slave
throughout oIr broad land was liberated
and from that time to the present there
has been no need of an abolition meeting.
| hold il is a greater disgrace to this nation
that there should be any necessity for
meeting OF this kind on the Sabbath day or
any other day In the week. say it is q
dishonor to the nation for pHblic sentiment
to tolerate the existence of three hundred
| thousand saloon gates to ruin and perdi-

General crop Conditions.

The observers and crop correspondents
of the New Jersey Weather Service report
for the week ending Friday. September 25,
1891, that abnormally high temperature
and generally clear weather have prevail
ed, with total absence of rainfall. These
favorable conditions have caused the late
corn to mature rapidly and it is now con-
sidered out Of all danger from frost; great
progress has been made in cutting and
stacking the earliest varieties. The thresh-
ing of buckwheat is progressing and the
yield considered up to the average. The
warm and foggy mornings, followed by
bright sunshine. have been of great benefit
to winter whoat and rye; these conditions
also greatly improved the quality of late
fruits and sweet potatoes. The picking of
cranberries is progressing and the indica-
tions point to good yield upon most of
bogs.
While farm work is well up with the sea-
son, in few sections blowing has been re-
tarded, owing to the very dry condition of
the ground. The season, on tho whole,
has been most bountiful one, and in come
sections ''the oldest inhabitant" eau re-
member nothing to excel 1t. The yield of
all crops, except hay, has been remarkable,
and it is next to never that so high an
average is reached. The farmers most
certainly have cause for rejoicing and
thanksgiving

AS we read great thoughts from great
writers we are frequently led to question
the adyisabiIity on our part of this oon-
tinued effort to gather bunch Of CLEAN

"Couched in such chsngeful varying guise,
Thought comes, so quickly fading,

The added outlines aiding
And rounding up each point lose

So regal, dominant. while still
Its heroism holds a thrill
Which charms one all unduly.

However, did each OF us stop our par
tic ulAr work because it did not possess
that symmetry and clearness of some mas

If the management of our public affairs
by our Councilmen is any credit to the

that our people have not wisdom sufficient
to see it. We speak of their works and
not of them as private citizens in their in
dividual capacities, but really they seem
to be no good of any kind or manner in the
way of heneftting the town or in further
ing it's interest. We surely would be as
we'll off, if not better, to get rid Of our
charter and go back to township rule, un-
less our affairs were in better hands than
