and for two days before and two days

privilege came to be abused, so much so,
that a town meeting was held on the 10Th
April, 1898: 1T being then taken into
consideration, that since fairs have been

liquor by retail during the tim of such
fairs, thereby encroaching upon the privi-
leges of the inhabitants of this town,

sell by retail as aforesaid:

or persons, from and after the date hereof,
do presume to sell liquors by retail during
the time of the fairs, SO held or to be hold

ever persons presuming, contrary to this
act, to sell liquors as aforesaid, shall, upon
information, be found guilty of the said
breach,-shall forfeit all liquors found in
his custody at the said place of fair, or
any where within the limits of this town or
creek, to be seized by virtue of a warrant
from the burgess Of this town; whereof
one half the said goods is to be allowed to
the informer and the other half to the

There is after all a funny, vary funny
side to the Itata romance in running away
with the pompous Us. Marshall on board,
that for the life of us we can't help con-
trasting with a story we read when a boy
of a risky sheep running of with a crow
entaugled in his wool, which intended to
fly off with his authorship. That was a
grim joke, sHrely. says the Philadelphia
North american, to up anchor aud steam
away with one who represents the dignity
of the United States, without SO much as a
tita-ta" to Uncle Sam. They not only run
off with the L. S. Marshall in the most
undignifed manner, but coupled the Of
fence in compelling Pilot die, of San
Diego, to "run" them out to sea. Three
armed Chileans on either side, with the
captain, revolver in hand, at the rear, was
amount of attendance and service from the
d~isgruntled die. All this would be very
funny reading If it did not involve so very
serious consequences. Of course it was
not the fault of this government that the
Itata ran away. Who, or what vessel
wouldn't under the circumstances have
toni the same thing? The .'bowld' cap

MOther's Boy.

Two little clinging velvety arms;
Two little hands with r~ose-leaf palms;
Two rieh blue eyes, in whose clear deeps
The brooks own sunshine laughs and leaps:
Two little ears like pink-white shells;
A snowy chin where a dimple dwells;
4 dainty nose; two peach-bloom cheeks;
4 red-tipned mouth that soft words speaks;
A brow rejecting the soul within,
Untouched by sorrow, unmarked by sin;
4 crown of curls whose traceries hold
The chestnut's warmth and the sunbeam's gold;
A rounded body, two rosy limbs;
4 voice like notes from cathedral hymns;
Two restless feet and a laugh ofjoy:
What is the total?-Mother's boy.
And the saloon says: "Just let me have
a chance at this mothers boy. l will pay
Won anywhere from S100 to $500 for per-
mission to lay a trap that is pretty sure to
snare him. I'll change his two blue eyes
into two black eyes-'put them in mourn
ing the boys call it; I'll change his'snowy
chin. where a dimple dwells,' into a red,
pimply chin, oozing with beer; I'll break
mis- dainty nose and hollow ont his'peach-
bloom cheeks;' his mouth that soft words
speaks shall utter blasphemous oaths and
foul language; his stwo restless feet shall
run swiftly in the way of destruction; and
at last his'laugh Of joy'shall be turned in
to a cry of despair. In short. I'll change
your mothers boy completely, and give
you for a total a devils boy."-Harper's

The frequent, or rather almost continu-
ons fires which have visited the forests OF
this section of New Jersey are becoming
unite a serious affair. First the fire breaks
out at Pleasantville, Atlantic county, and
presto. Atlantic City, Ocean City, Abse-
com and their environments, are thrown
i, q manic of excitement. Then it blazes
away among the timber belt of old Cum
berlaud. and Millville, Mauricetown,
Dividing Creek, ct. al, take their turn at
ceiling snake stories and being frightened.
Next comes the report that at Nays Land
ing. Atlantic county. the most disastrous
forest fires of late years has broken out
and is raging between that place and
Tuekahoe, on the line Of the Philadelphia
and New Shore railroad. Now it is Cape
MAY county that is being ravaged by the
deyouring flames, aud the tall pines ana
low huckleberry bushes of Mt. Pleasant
Petersburg. Goshen and other points ad-
iacept are all afane with lurid light and
redhot embers. TIE loss by these fires
too. has been enormous, more, as some
one said. than could be replaced by a
thousand years of Arbor days.

Judge of the county, or its States attor-
ney, or prosecuting attorney, to expound
the laws to its citizens at a minimum OF
its present cost. Eighth, because news
paper men themselves know that tie pub.
LEGATION of the laws is a bore to their read
els, and something for which they inyari-
ably feel called upon to apologies, aware
that the subscriber who takes" with
them is about as scarce as a dead cavalry
man in wal times.
A party editor, in defense of the present
plan, said recently that not " per cent.
of the voters of the commonwealth would
ever read the laws if published in pamph-
let FORM" and he said we'll. But why not
| go further and say that not two per cent.
| of the voters of the State would read them
anyhow, whether published in the papers
or in pamphlet form? Our brother told
| the truth but not the whole truth in the
case. The point is not SO much as to how
much or how little the newspapers receive
| for publishing the laws, or how many or
how few persons read them when publish
ed, as to the attitude the State assumes as
a bride giver and owner of the peoples
conscience. The citizens of the State can,
perhaps, afford the throwing away OF a
few thousand dollars of the taxpayers
money in this manner, but cannot afford
the exhibition made by the State in the
matter, toward its representative citizens,
the publishers of newspapers.
The Monitor. [volume] (Woodstown, N.J.) 1884-1892, 1891-05-22

In a late number of the Temperance
Gazette the editor, DR.. Graw, has
thing to say about the giving out of ''the
laws" of which we copy the following:
About one hundred newspapers have
been given permission to publish the laws
enacted by the last legislature, for which
service they will each be paid about $3.50.
Among the favored one hundred are news
papers whose editions will not equal 400
copies per week. Journals Of large circu-
lation weie ignored simply because their
proprietors had not made their peace with
the powers that be-" and further adds
that the interest Of the public is not at
all considered in the official patronage"
Now we want first to preface the criti-
cism we make further on by the following
broad declaration: We could secure the
publication of the laws for this journal
any day We choose, by simply naming the
price. In saying this we don't wish to be
understood as being any more righteous or
morally pure than our neighbois; neither
do we mean to in~siuuatc that all other
papers receive a price in the sense OF being
paid to publish the laws. Not at all. But
that the laws as o given out are dis
pensed as a reward for party service, and
in the nature of a bride anG subsidy, and
the money paid for the same a mere cor
ruption fund, VT do most unhesitatingly
and unqualiiedly assert. III fact We very
much doubt whether there he a single
newspaper publisher in all the State who
seriously questions this statement.
This we regard not so much a reflection
upon the publishers accepting the biibe as
upon the State which offers it. News
paper publishers, like every other class Of
business and profession al men, are in the
business to make a living out of it, and
the $500, s700 or $500 per year offered bv
the State to serve this Or that political
party under the guise Of publishing the
laws is just that much of a boost of the
old wolf outward from the door. This,
though, is our busy day, and we haven't
the time to give the matter the attention
it really deserves, aud will hay, to content
with the following:
We object first to the publication of the
laws through the newspapers because the
none so used is a mere corruption fund
to serve the interest Of the party using it..
Second, because not two ffths Of the legal
voters OF the State read the newspapers,
and of those who do, scarce one in thousand
read the laws as published by author
ity." Third. because they can be pub
lished and distributed cheaper in pamph-
let form. Fourth, because if published in
either way, if by newspa per or pamphlet,
it is a waste of the peoples money. Fifth,
because but few people ignorantly break
the laws, published or unpublished. Sixth,
because about the last thing thought of
by one involved in n legal tangle is to
rash for the newspaper to consult "the
while the very first thing done,
under the circumstances, is to consult
some sharp, wide-awake lawyer. Seventh,
because the State could employ the Law

II, as an eminent statesman and inter-
prefer of law once declared, the whole
plan of our jurisprudence rests upon the
foundation stone of a trial by jury, there
is danger of the system going to rack if a
late liquor trial in the Cumberland Courts
at Bridgeton be regarded as a sample
brick.
The case was about as follows: A Mill
vile party was charged in court with run
ming a ',mill,'' or "speak-easy," and all
who heard the charge, whether friends or
foes of prohibition, must have believed
him guilty Of the offence many times over.
So sure, in fact, wasthe principal of his "
guilt that be employed a trio of Bridgeton
lawyers TO pull him through. The evil
dence against him was most positive, plain
and conclusive, and the judge in his
charge seemed to assume that there could
be but one verdict. 1t was proven that
the defendant dealt in rum, was paid fer
it, and tina men were made drunk by it.
When the case was submitted to the jury
it was as clear as anything could reason
ably be that but one verdict could be rem
dered, and that a verdict of guilty in
keeping a disorderlv house under the
statute made and provided. Moreover
the charge was SO thoroughly proven and
the defence SO weak in its rebuttal, that it
was not thought the jury would be out a
long time before returning with a verdict
of guilty. Judge then the surprise (and dis
gust to most persons) when the jury declar-
ed their inability to agree. Speaking of the
case the Bridgeton Eceniaq Ners says:
The jury in the case of Charles Payne,
Jr., were brou ght into court and %announc-
ed that they were unable to agree. The
Court thereupon discharged them, saying,
however, that it did not think they should
have had any difficulty in arriving at a
verdict. The jury on the first ballot stood
Z to 5, but this was only a feeler. The
real situation was 0 to 3. One of the three
who stoutly upheld aeGuittal was John
Raipear, OF Stow Creek, whom, it will be
remembered, the State attempted to chal-
lenge. He left the box, but afterwards,
upon the defense calling attention to the
tact that the States challenges bad been
exhausted, he was obliged to go back and
complete the panel. The disagreement of
the jury came as a surprise to every one,
and a very unpleasant surprise to many
people. The testimony was of such q
character that it seemed impossible for a
jury to have any difficulty in arriving at a
verdict; but such was the case. Such a
disagreement is calculated TO materially
weaken ones faith in that venerable insti-
tuition, trial by jury.
The matter is the town talk" down
that way, some declaring that Judge
Hoagland would be justified i'll trying a
jury that perpetrated so monstrous a trav-
esty upon law and justice. 1t has been
charged a thousand times that drinking
men could not be trusted upon oath as
evidence against liquor sellers, and it ap-
pears now that this assertion might fairly
be supplemented by the addendum-nor
upon a jury that is to try liquor sellers,
either.
