"Papa, is Mr.. Cleveland a king
fisher?"
"Mr. Cleveland is an expert at
that business, my son-he always
catches the fish he wants "
"Papa, what is the difference be-
tween a president and a king
fisher 2"
"Quite difference, son! A king
fisher is bird with a long, slender
neck, and preys upon fish. Mr..
Cleveland is an officer elected to adj
minister the government of the
United States"
"Well, Papa, if Mr. Cleveland
drops the name president and as
sumes the name 'king6sher,' the
two kingfshers will only resemble
in part. One has a long, slender
neck, and preys on fish the other
has a neck SO big he can pull OFT his
shirt without unbuttoning the col
lar, and preys upon the rights OF
the people"

The mayor of Chicago says there are
200, 900 unemployed persons in that
city, and he predicts serious trouble
in the near future. A friend writes
us from Kansas City as follows: "lt
is terrible in this city now. There
are at least 10000 men out of en-
ployment, and still more falling into
line every day. Oh it is simply
'hades' |! The papers don't give the
true figures at all-everything is
smoothed over. l am all over the
city every week, and know this is
true, and unless something is done
before winter, the good Lord only
knows what will be the result.
A gain. these bank failures are much
worse than the papers put them. "
Our friend is correct-the metropol-
itan papers will not publish the facts
about the condition of affairs. They
don't want the people to know the
truth.

sphere in which she has so long
been accustomed to revolve, and is
grasping with comprehensive realiz-
alton the situation in which the age
finds her. More and more is she COM
ing to the conclusion that the world
was, in part, created for her, and
that the complicated machinery
with which man controls and admin
listers public affairs will also yield
to the manipulation of woman's
lighter hand.
With this thought in view, the
ladies of Norwich, Kingman coun-
ty-friends of equal suffrage called
meeting at that place, Aug. 18th,
and invited the officers Of the coun-
tv K. 4. S. A. to address them.
They secured two churches-the
Presbyterian, III which was spread
most elegant and sumptuous din
ner. and the M. E. church for the
audience and speaking. Better OF
more ample arrangements could not
possibly have been provided, and
the people of that locality seemed
to appreciate the effort made. The
church was we'll filled with fine
intelligent audience. In fact, it is
Impossible ever to see any Other

After adjournment, another ele

WOman's Slavery.

versaily abolished, but that OF the
female has been changed into a
milder form of dependence. The
ancient woman was sold in marriage,
by her father, for sheep, camels or
sheckels-the modern woman, too
often, sells herself for root, garb,
food and social considerations.
Society looks on and calls it "a
good CATCH" "a fortunate snap"
etc. The dependent condition OF
woman has, more than any other
cause. contributed to her physical
servitude. If not born to wealth,
or if not supported by relatives,
she must enter the arena OF busl-
ness handicapped in value OF time,
in wages, because she is a woman.
She must endure the imposition OF
the ages, or starve or go under, or
get married, which is the equiva-
lent TO the other two. Marriage
"for revenue only" is always horn
of a dilemma, the other being pow
erty and shame. What is the moral
difference between the woman who
goes under for want OF food and
shelter and the woman who marries
for the same? For the one, society
paves the way to hell for the other,
it builds the golden stairs to social
eminence.
Every young woman should des-
pise the too common female ambition
of being supported and coddled by
a man called husband. She should
demand training for brain and hand
that will make her Independent OF
wedlock as a mercenary considera-
tion A woman's charms or weak
ness are not for barter, not even
with a husband. Anything less
than love between husband and wife
is bondage and iniquity. What a
suppliant woman becomes, what a
loss of dignity and self-respect she
must suffer when obliged to nag a
husband and fairly tease out of him
what is called "pin money" and
these women are mostly those from
whose lives have been driven out all
the sweet graces of womanhood, by
hard and unrequited toll. Then
think of the women who "roll In
wealth." who swing away the hours
in hammocks ; who doze into oblivl
on, on downy pillows, the priceless
moments; who fritter away thell
own time and their husbands money
at fashionable resorts, without
thought of self-culture, or a tingt
of shame for their dependence.
What are the so-called accomplish
ments of women but the gliding o
chains that enslave, or the art tina

The True american says: Freehold
has recently completed system OF house
sewerage, which conveys the sewage
nearly mile from the town and disposes
of it on the plan known as farm sewerage,
in operation for number years past in
Europe and more recently in this country.
Last week DIR. Ezra M. Hunt, Of the Stats
Board OF Health, visited the town for the
purpose of inspecting the operation Of the
system and after doing so reported to the
town authorities that II was as near per
feet in theory as any he had every seen,
aud that he was pleased to say that he
could make most favorable mention Of
1t in his annual report. The works were
constructed upon plans made by Mr.. @.
M. Waring, the noted engineer who has
made the plans of some of the most ex-
tensive sewer systems in this country and
the works were constructed under the
superintendent of tho firm OF which be
is the chief. Freehold also has one of the
best water supply systems in the State,
drawing its water from artesian wells at a
point below surface filtration, and thus
furnishing a supply that is beyond suspic
ion OF contamination.

The Morris county Senator is charg-
ed with having received $4,000 for his
vote in favor of the race-track bills, and it
is also stated that one of the Assembly
men from that county is building fine
residence with the proceeds of similar
barter. 1t will be difficult, perhaps, to
prove in court of law that the men who
voted for these bills received pay. but no
thinking person in New Jersey doubts
for a moment that the members Of As
sembly and Senate that voted for these
measures excepting Starter Flynn and
Assemblyman thompson were paid for
their votes, and well-paid, too. The hon.
eat, decent people of New jersey owe 1t
to themselves to see that every one of
these men is defeated at the polls, should
they be candidates for reelection.

The Ne,o Jersey Ne,0s formerly The
SUSSEX Regular established by John
Carpenter, Esq at Newton, N. j., five
years ago, and more recently conducted
by D. Holcombe Rittenhouse, has been
sold TO the publisher of the Nes0 Jersey
Herald, Newton, and its publication will
be discontinued. This leaves only one
Democratic paper at the county seat. We
presume this sale is one of the results OF
the Pidcock failure, as the Ne,0s had been
the organ of that Democratic chieftain,
and was started at time when the Her.
aid was openly opposed to the candidacy
Of Fowler for congress.
