| challenge the editor of the Netos and
the leaders and candidates for office OF
the Republican party in Delaware TO
say over their signatures that, should
the Republican party obtain control in
the Diamond State, they Will AT once
close up all its saloons and Danish the
liquor traffic beyond its borders. This
is the only kind of temperance work
that counts and is Collective" This is
what the Prohibitionists are trying to
do, and they plainly declare it to all
men.
The Republican party is a pure and
simple liquor party. The party OF TEN
perance and morality" stabbed to death
the prohibitory law OF Iowa, and en-
courages and protects saloons in that
State. In Kansas the same party wants
to return to power, and it proposes to
do it over the corpse of that States pro-
hibitory law. In Republican Maine the
law is violated without fear, light fine
being imposed upon the offender. The
programme Of the liquor fraternity Of
the nation is: First Iowa, then Kansas
and then Mainew The programme is
being carried out, and the party of
temperance and morality" is doing the
work--and it would do no different in
Delaware. >Christanns by the hundred
thousands pin their faith to this Repub-
| licanism. How can two walk together
unless they be agreed?

|. I'll. Mauser of Willamsport, has
published history of the grading
and building of the W. & N. b. II.
R., and of the towns along the line
of railroad. Mr.. Mauser has taken
much pains in preparing the book
and our people will find it very in
teresting reading.
This is what he says of our beauti-
full Lake Mokoma:
There is one particular point of
interest ut Laporte, and that is its
beautiful Lake Mokoma. This lake
is along the railway and is one of
the largest in the state. 1t contains
pure spring water and is stocked
with the finest trout to lie found in
the mountains. Trout fishing here
is pleasure that is seldom enjoyed
elsewhere. The lake was stocked
some years ago and the fish have
been allowed to develop until they
have reached a good size; a fifteen
inch trout being nothing unusual.
The Lake Mokoma Land Company
owns the lake and the surrounding
land. The purpose is to develop it
into summer resort. Two head
lands jutting into the lake would
make elegant hotel sites. For boat.
ing no pretticr sheet of water could
be found. BY recent decision of
the board of directors of the Lake
Mokoma Land Company, steam
boat will be placed on the lake
during the coming season. Beauti-
fui groves around it make it an ad
mirab'e place for pic mics and ex-
cursions, which with ride on the
lake by steamer will complete oppor-
tunlLles for an agreeable days out
ing. Time will certainly develop
this delightful section. Laporte
has already acquired some reputa.
ZION as summer resort and with all
its conveniences of rail. telegraphic,
and hote! service, it should rapidly
become one Of the leading summer
ing places, There are in the town
three churches, four stores and three
hotels, besides several boarding
houses. The hotels and boarding
houses are well patronized and are
supplied with all necessary conven-
ences for comfort. There are abund>
ant mountain drives and walks and
