BECOMING A PROHIBITION STATE
New Jersey Losing Its Record For
Beer Consumption.

Spccidt 70 uC JCfSfU thU Att"S'
TRENTON, Sept. 4, 1S94.-New Jersey has
gone dry in spots. notwithstanding that it
is the third beer producing and sixth beer
consuming State in the Union, it is slowly
acquiring ~prohibitory characteristics In
Cumberland county there are several places
where it Is not profitable for a saloon
keeper to abide and where justice falls very
heavily on speak easies. Cumberland is
naturally an anti liquor place and was until
the law creating County Excise ami
sioDers was passed, when enough polltics was
put into the saloon question to secure the aps.
poIntinent by the Governor of a County Ex-
else Commission, which brought into exis-
tence a number of Saloons i'll Mlllv1lle,
Brldgeton and smaller places. The wiplng
out of that law had the effect of closing the
saloons up, and although speak easies flour
ished for awhile, some of the keepers were
sent to prison and beer drinking in the
county is now more or less confined 10 CLUBS
and private sidehoardS.
In Lambertville, Hunterdon County, the
same state of affairs exist, and all the hotels
are closed tightly, compelling the thirsty
Jerseymen to journey across the river to
New Hope, Pa, and drink Pennsylvania
beer. The business OF the little covered
bridge that spans the Delaware from Lam
bertville to New Hope has increased 60 per
cent. since the saloons closed in Lambert
vile. and the increase is attributed to the
travels of those who need matutinal cock
tails and evening n~ightcaps.
Now the central part of Ocean county is
becoming affected witt the same desire to
keep out the products of tine. still and the
brewery. Al a special election held a fey
days ago at Manahawkin under the prolibi-
tory clause of the Werts law, the voters of
the township decided in favor OF a high
prohibitory license of $1,000. and the FRO.
hibitionist won by nine votes. Stafford
township now joins the township of Little
Egg Harbor, the township of Jackson and
the borough of Island Heights, all Localities
where no liquor can be sold legally. In a
few weeks the citizens of Eagleswood, which
adjoins Stafford to the west, will make an
attempt to nave the people elect a high Ii
cense, so high that no one can afford to pay
it and do business. 1t is also stated that
several townships in Bergen county will es-
say to do the same thing either this fall or
next gnrinp.
