The West Jersey Press, Camden, \. j.. is
generally right, but just now is right wrong
in the assumption that the Republican
press of this State is outspoken and fear
less in it's denunciation OF the excise CON-
mission bill. True, his may be the case
here and there over the State. in counties
say, like Hudson, Camden, ETC., where
rum rules the roost" and the bosses
have nothing to fear from any amount of
criticism, but that it is so in pivotal dis
tricts where too much tongue" would
jeQpardize the success of the Democratic
ticket this fall, we most unhesitatingly
deny. This declaration, that the RepabIi-
can press of the State will do their worst
or best as you choose to put it, il counties
where the democratic majority can in no
way be disturbed, and coo softly as the
sucking dove in counties where their voice
might be potentia! il the upsetting and
reversal of small democratic msjorities, will
perhaps strike the careless reader as re-
markedly strange, but wait. Just now this
triumvirate of unconstitutional usurpers
is working the racket down in Cumberland
county, a county which Oh the popular
vote is prohibition by nearly 2 coo majority,
1900 we believe the figures, and, we would
ask, what are the Republican ewspapers
of Cumberland county going to do about
it? Up to this writing they have lone but
little? For reasons well understood, and
which need not be mentioned here, a Dem
ocratic representative from their first as
sembly district fills the seat at Trenton,
normally bclongingto a Republican and this
regime it is determined shall be maintained
not only by the Democrats and rum men
of the first assembly district Of Cnmber-
land, but by the aforesaid Democratic
authorities at Trenton. Now here is
where the Republican press of that county
is"pinched, "and the Governor of the State
and the Assembly representative from
the first district OF that county are doing
TIE pinching. This is lone by a bribe 10
the shape of publishing the laws and other
official printing to simply keep mum. What
is the result? You must know, most noble
critic of the West Jersey Press, if you will
only open your eyes ever so little and look
around. To us, at this distance, it is no.
t%oriously apparent that the Republican
press has not, and probably dare not, speak
out in ringing words on this most vital and
live question of the hour. You know some
thing of Salem county, Bro. Chew, and
know too at least one newspaper downthis
way, which If permitted to WELD a free
lance or shy an occasional castor at the
obnoxious bill, would presumably do SO,
but possibly dare rot until the tip from the

A Glufin the Fruit Market.

The commission merchants of Philadel-
phia, says a paper in that city, are at pres
emit beset by many tribulations and the
outlook for them is anything but encourag-
ing. The fruit crop has so far been the
heaviest marketed for many years and the
yield is proving a greater calam-
iy than the short crop of last season. When
melons began to come in with a rush. the
demand was unequal to the supply and at
one time cars containing over 200. 900
watermelons were sidetracked, while the
consumption was not over 80, 900 a day.
Right on top OF this the peaches from
Delaware and Maryland commenced to
arrive, first in a single car lots then by the
train load, and now a sufficient number of
cars are not to be had to ship the cnor-
nous quantities of fruit from the Peninsu-
la, and the old-time scow, three or four of
which can be hauled by one tug, are be-
ing mustered into the service. The scenes
around the wharves and at the depots are
not easily described. Fruit is piled in every
available inch of space, and commission
houses are taxed to their utmost capacity.
1t has been the prevailing opinion that
after the middle of August the heavy glut
would be over, but on the contrary this
weeks arrivals were the heaviest of the
season and old dealers are literally swamp
ed with the fruit.
The quality of the fruit arriving now is
much superior 10 the earlier shipments.
but the quantity is entirely too great for
consumption. Consequently prices are at
the minimum and the finest peaches do
not bring 70 cents, while fair fruit can
be had as low as 90 cents per ~halEbushel
basket.
New jersey truck farmers are also suf-
fering severely from the glut in peaches. as
they seem to be the most popular commod-
ity offered by fruit houses, and growers
who haul their stock from across the Del
aware frequently drive to the commission
houses only to be told they could not un-
load, as the warehouse we're flied up with
more stock than could possibly be sold.
Saturday last car Dads of tomatoes and
other ~perishable truck had to be carted
away to the dump, though in perfect con.
dition, and sales at one and two cents A
basket were considered snaps by the
holders.
This enormous production has complete.
ly baffied the basket manufacturers. who
cannot turn out enough to supply the de-
mand. In consequence, the price of bask-
cts is away up, thus eating up the small
profit Of the producer.
Fine apples are to be had in abundance
for from ten to fifteen cents a basket. and
cantaloures are selling for three cents Der
basket. The crop Of apples in New Jer-
sey is the largest ever known. and it
scarcely pays farmers to pick and haul
them to the market.
1t is thought that the next ten days will
clear away tho heavy supplies. for Gamers
and driers are taking advantage of the
nominal prices to get their work in, while
the good housen ife is putting up and pre-
serving prodigious quantities Of fruit
tempted by its quality and c~heapness to-
gether with the low price Of sugar.

the Crop Outlook.

The observers and crop correspondents
OF the New Jersey Weather Service report
for the week ending Friday, August 21st,
1891, tn at the temperature, sunshine and
rainfall have boon very near the average,
and that these conditions have been most
favorable to the growing crops, especially
to corn, young turnips, and also to the
growth and ripening of tomatoes, melons.
and other vine truck.
The indications now are that the corn
crop will at least be up to, If not above,
the average yield. Potatoes in some
sections are slightly affected by rot, but
only III low fields; the yield, while not in
excess OF the average, is fair and the quality
good. The harvesting of buokwheat in
the northern districts has commenced,
and the yield promises to be an excellent
one. Grapes in Atlantic County are re-
ported as having crossed the danger line,
and damage from rot is no longer feared.
The fruit is reported to be in excellent
condition and is ~coloring rapidly.
Prophet Devoe claims that producing
rain with explosions means killing frosts.
lnterrupting natures laws kills the weather
system. The experiments in Texas. he
says, have caused the heavy hail-storms
in the West, and he predicts that il the
Government persists in bringing down
rains In some States the farmers in others
will sue, on the ground that their rights
have been interfered with. This would re-
suit in q bigger drain on the Treasury than
the pension list.
The Monitor. [volume] (Woodstown, N.J.) 1884-1892, 1891-08-28

The Pennsylvania State Board of Agri-
culture has received reports of the preva-
lence of rot among potatoes in three
counties of that State, and the Indications
are the warm rains and hot sun Of the past
three or four days will greatly increase the
loss from this source Secretary Edge
states that as soon as the presence OF the
disease is satisfactorily determined, the
sooner the crop is out Of the ground the
less the loss will be. The disease is duo to
minute spores, whicE are carried down the
stems of the plants to the tubers, where,
under the favorable conditions prevailing
at the present time, they multiply very
rapidly, and very soon effectually destroy
the crop. If the potatoes are dug and
placed in shallow piles on a dry floor the
chances of spreading these spores from one
tuber to another are greatly lessened and a
portion, even Of a badly rotted crop, may
be saved. A preventive %prscaution when
it is not practicable to at once dig the crop
is to carefully cut off the tops and, with as
little shaking as possible, emove them
from the patch.
II allowed to remain undisturbed the
tops form the very best means of carrying
the spores from the leaves down to the
stalks, to the tubers or to the soil near the
tubers, where, with plenty of moisture and
heat, they increase and spread rapidly.

LAGER.

LAGER.
The word lager means a couch or bed
In connection with the wo,d Beer it sig
njfies the frame on which the barrels of
beer are laid, to grow old before being
used. A bed is suggestive Of sleep, and
the term is therefore appropriate when
applied to a beverage that makes one sleepy
and sluggish.
The word lager also means Il lair, and
certainly the places where lager is sold may
be fifty described as %''lairs." While under
the influence of lager, men certainly act
more like Wild beasts than men, ard TIE
keeper of the lager or lair saloon may be
said TO '.lie in ait" for his customers.
The word laggard is also clearly related
in its origin to the word lager. A laggard
means a slo " person, a l%oiteier, and it is a
fact that those who drink beer are the per-
sons who get left. The word should
perhaps be pronounced L.ager-for the on
tinued use of the liquor will make any ore
shake like a person with the lager"
