What '.smait alexis" some newspaper
publishers are, to be sure. and what stun
ners they offer in the way of premiums.
One is for a free trip to Europe the COM
ing summer, another for a ticket to the
| Columbia Exposition at Chicago in '92,
and still another offers a free scholarship
In any first-class institution Of learning ID
the country. OF course these prizes are all
to obtain subscribers for their respective
publications, as without such a purpose no
such inducements would be made. The
MONITOR clearly unders' ands that with
out subscribers a newspaper is n &. Let
such a journal be called by whatever name
it NAV. its real cognomen is Dennis. A
newspaper publisher, without having
somebody to take his paper out OF the
post office regularly, even though paid Tor
s~pasmodically. or as is sometimes The case
not paid for at all. is as useless a hulk
upon the waves of journalism as is "a
painted ship upon a painted sea, as a
iack-saw frame without the blade, or a
well regulated home with the mother-in-
law feature Of the combination overlooked.
In fact, is a sort of Hamlet play with
Hamlet left out. The MONITOR Publish
ing Company understand all this and
mean to join the procession at once. They
want to swell the subscription list to over
a million. and take no back seats as pre-
miu n givers either. Now, Care you lis
tening?) to the person who will furnish
the above list, not later than September OF
this year, we will cheque through a free
trip around the world and furnish a
Safety to ride. Those who pass the
million line by that time, or sooner, will
receive a duplicate cheque like the above
and our interest in the old Woodstown fire
engine thrown in. Now is your chance;
let us hear from you by next mail.

rainfall for the week has been up to and
in some 10 alities above the weekly average
and was most beneficial to all crops, besides
putting the soil in good condition for Gull
tivation, but was too late to benefit the hay
crop, which has fallen off several points
during the week owing to previous drought
and the extreme heat of the first Of the
week.
Professor Smith reports that fruit trees,
and especially apples, are being injured by
plant lice. Where the insects attack fruit
as we'll as leaves, or where they are very
numerous, he advises spraying with either
the whale oil soap, one pound to eight
gallons. or with the kerosene emulsion.
Bulletin seyenty-two of the station should
be consulted.
The general crop prospects for Now Jer-
sew remain pretty much the same as re-
ported June 18th. Though all crops are
suffering for want of rain, the recent
showers will no doubt help in developing
better crops of early vegetables and small
fruits. The hay crop, certainly, is not i'm

State was reported as 81 per cent. of a
total crop. Concerning this crop it may be

Good Work oftne RAILROADS.

The agency OF the railroad companies in
promoting temperance is not generally APP
preciated. They employ GS0, 9f2 persons,
not counting those who mine the coal and
iron, make the rails or locomotives, or
build the cars and carriages used by the
road. The freight and passenger traffic of
the country is practically controlled by
600 Of thete corporations, and of these 600,
no fewer than 375 prohibit the use of in
toxicstipg liquors by their employees,
among the number being most of the
largest companies. The Brotherhood of

Emigraut Commissioner Grosvenor, I'm,
doubtedly knows what he is talking about
in saying:
The country is rapidly becoming too
strongly tainted with foreign odors. Take
Wisconsin as an instance, a State that is
almost a European province. The people
there demand the conduct of the schools in
a foreign tongue, and give other marked
eyideuces Of their alienism. In a little
while they will insist on having the records
of their Legislature kept in their non
American language; aud on top of this will
come an endeavor to have the Courts oper-
ate in language or languages native to
other lands than ours. This is all wrong.
We cannot afford to welcome those who
will not be of us.

Wherever it enters the plague debases and

The near approach to the 4th of July
suggests the query: Why can't Woodstown
fogfn and maintain a military organizations
Some years previous to the breaking out
of the late war, there were several military
companies of this kind in the county, and
they were always considered a sufficient
local attraction to advertise pretty thor-
oughiy the town or village so favored.
Beside this it cuitivates the spirit of mar
tial srdor, patriotic impulses and local
pride of a community, and is largely to be
desired on this account. Woodstown has
the material for a good soldier organiza-
ton at hand, and we hope soon to hear OF
a move in this direction.

the last year 375 members were expelled

OF the way in which practical business

Some of the newspaper wits of this First
District are making merry over the at
tempt of a o%ne-horse establishment in
Philadelphia to manufacture tin for the
whole American Continent, but here
comes a tin-plate statement Cor lie) that
will knock eEdways the malicious invent
ors Of the Philadelphia canard. 1t runs as
follows:
Seven tors of pig-tin from the Temescal
mines, a despatch from San Francisco to
the New York Tribune says, ave arrived
in that city, and are now for sale in open
market. In a few months the Temescal
mines will be a~bundantly able to supply
the American market. This home market,
too, is about to develop largely through
the establishment of tiu-plate factories in
the East, which will become consumers of
California tin. Considerable correspond
ence about this supply has been exchanged
between f. NJ. Robinson, manager of the
mines, and Eastern tin-plate manufacture
ers. The mines in question have been
shown to be the richest in the world, and
their future production will be limited
only by the market.
