Washington, Sept. Z, 1891.
Secretary Noble has gene to Cape May
Point to confer with Mr. Harrison about
tile opening OF the Oklahoma Indian lands,
the vacancy upon the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and other important matters
pending before his department. Mr.. Har-
rison is expected to return about the 10Th
inst, but some of these matters require
immediate attention.
The most striking feature that has yet
cropped out in the Speakership contest " as
the publication of long editorial attack
upon Representative Crisp's candidacy in
the Sunday Gazette, Democratic paper
edited by Gen. Duncan S. Walker, who
was Secretary of the National Democratic
Committee ir the Hancock campaign. The
strongest point made against Crisp is that
among his principal supporters are those
Democrats who favor policy of inaction
in the Fifty second Congress. Gen.
Walker takes the ground that the election
OF Crisp to tho Speakership would prove
disastrous TO the Democratic party. 1t is
generally understood here that Gen.
Walker iavors the election of Mr.. Mills.
When Secretary Tracy returned from
Cape May Point Saturday lie brought in
struotions from Mr.. Harrison to the acting
Secretary of State directing him to cable
instructions to Minister Egan to recognize
the new Chilian government. This ends a
rather interesting chapter of diplomacy.

Secretary Rusk never did an official act
that reflected more credit upon him as a
manly man than when he took time, amid
the showers of congratulations that were
pouring in by wire upon him on account
of the news of the official PRONUNCIATION OF

Now as to those South Jersey counties,
to which it is evident the MONITOR more
particularly referred, truth compels us to
admit that in the case of two or three So
called Republican papers there has been a
notable lack of spirit shown on the subject
in question. Whatever may have been
the motives which superinduced the policy
of said papers it is little to their credit, for
at time like the present, when the rights
of the people are being trampled under
foot by an ollgarchy of unscrupulous poll
ticians, there should be no skulkers among
the professed defenders of the faith. The
Press has no sympathy for paper which
flies the Republican eolors and for pruden-
tial reasons refuses to fight the battles oi
its party, especially in an emergency like
the present. Inaction is evasion Of duty
and is inexcusable. An aggressive war
fare is the least that can be expected Of a
Republican party paper, under the circum
stances, and the Press will attempt ne
apology for such as pursue different
course.-W j. Press, Sept. I'd.

The largest crowd ever gathered At a
Temperance meeting in Androscoggin coun-
ty, Maine, heard Senator Eugene Frye at
the Pine Street Congregational Church
Sunday afternoon. After an Introductory
discussion Of the general evil of intemper-
ance, the Senator said:
"No one in this audience will differ with
the relative 10 the evils ofthis Moloch mon
ster, intsmperance, unless, perhaps, 1t be
the fumseller, and | ask: Is he entitled to
an opinion? Is his opinion worth any
thing? My deliberate judgment is-and |
measure my words-that there is no worse
man to be found than the rumseller, and
so far from his opinion being worth any
thing as to whether liquor shall be sold
freely over the bar to wbosoever " wishes to
purchase, say that if every rumseller in
the country were in Jail to-day the couatry
woull be ten thousand times better off
than it now is.
To plead the cause of the deyotees OF
Temperance Senator Frye commended the
fanatics as a class, and said of Neal Dow:
"There is no man 10 America who has
tormented me politically more than he. lie
is always making thrusts at I5e Republican
party-morning, noon and night-but say
that il he will keep on sticking the knife
into the rumseller at the same time he may
keep ON tormenting any political party that
he chooses. Yes, thank God for the ia
natics. Neal Dow started this law and it
is the best law il the world-the only enemy
of the rumseller and the law that has made
Maine pre-emiuent in The suppression Of
liquor selling not only in America but
throughout the world.
'License is no remedy" lie continued.
Liquor sold By license intoxicates as quick
ly as when sold illegally. If you license
rum drinking to make men sober then why
not license thieving to make them honest
and prostitution to make them yirtuous." :"

The Temperance Gazette of last week, In
speaking Of the old Democratic doctrine
of majority rule, says:
Now that the Democracy has adopted
rum Capitalization, by euqrafting the
county excise commission on it's creed, let
Democrats begin at once to pull up the
old party doctrine by the roots. 1t is now
in order for the Democrats 10 get down
upon their knees and ask pardon OF the
Republicans for what they have said about
centralized power and usurpation.
We ask every honest Democrat to look
at this monstrosity. A city votes against
license and closes the saloons. Either

The partisan press does not dare to en-
Tighten the people. The Democratic press
must obey the behests of the party and
either keep silent or approve of the Excise
Board, and the Republican press does not
dare to attack the rum men or their meas

oppose it. . :,
The people of Cum berland county should
be made to see that their rights are tram
pied under foot to please the Tum-barons,
and the truth should be burued into every
Democrat that, in obedience to the rum
Moloch, the party of Jefferson and Jackson
have renounced the doctrine Of self govern

mated democracy from its cherished prin-
