The National Republican League.

Inc NatlOnal republican League.
The week is notable for the gath
ering of several thousand of bright,
energetic and enthusiastic young
Republicans in Cleveland. The
linking together of clubs all oyer
the country which formerly had led
an isolated existence, into a ra-
ti0n&l organization, should accom-
plish useful end, if it can avoid
being made the instrument for
advancing individual ends, or
special interests. The danger is
indicated OF the present occasion
by the presence of vociferous advo-
Gates of fifty cent dollars, and the
hope for good is represented by the
absence of Governor Mckinley.
The delicate sense of this gentleman
of avoiding the appearance of
boom on his behalf, is to be-
commended. 1t would have it'll
value since the local sentiment
naturally strong in his behalf. TN,
great work of the league Is mot to
make platforms or candidates, but
to take under advisement the means
by which these can best be presen-
ted to the American people when
adopted. The league should go in
for the creating an 3emination'

Sam Jones on Masonry.

Rev. Sam ?. Jones has been
preaching in st. Louis. On the
evening of March 9Th he delivered a
sermon which was reported in full
in the st. Louis Globe Democrat,
from which we take the following
extract:
Before | was ever a Christian l
learned one thing, and l want you to
hear this. l was away from home
and / was robbed on train. | had
all the money me and my friend
both had. He didn't have any, land
they got mine, and we got off at a
station. That was when | was a
sinner, and that was twenty-five or
twenty-six years ago. He was a
steward in the Methodist Church,
and 1 was just plain, common,
simple sinner; that is all | was.
When we got off at the station we
stayed around there moment or
two. He says "Sam, | wonder if
there is Mason in this town." |
said, ga Mason?" He said, eyes. d"
"Well" | said, "what do you want
with a Mason?" He says; 81 can get
some money if can find Mason"
l said, CANT You Methodist?'' He
said, eyes" | said, "Why don't
you 60 to the Methodists?" "Oh,
shucks," he said, 81 will go to the
Masons." And he struck out, and
after a very few minutes came back,
and said, GLOW did you come out?"
"All right he said, 81 got it,"
"Who did you get it from?'' "From
a Mason" he says. "Sam if you
to go to heaven, you join the Meth
odists, but if you want hold-down
here, join the Masons." So when l
started in, l just joined both, and

Value of GOOD Roads,

The practical advantages of good
roads are strikingly set forth by a
writer in Llppincott's Magazine,
the vicinity of Moorestown, in New
Jersey, being selected as an illustra-
ton. This is in Burlington county
10 miles from Philadelphia. Radl-
ating from Moorestown are "A miles
of good macadamized roads, built
by an issue of town bonds and by
means of the State Aid law of 1891.
Before these roads were constructed
real estate IN the neighborhood of
Moorestown was absolutely dead;
since they were built it is much in
quest, and near the town almost
pr. es' have been paid for hand.
1 The contrast in this respect between
| Moorestown and other towns pos
sessing equal natural advantages is
great. Furthermore, instead of
four-horse wagons built to carry so
5-bushel baskets, farmers there
about now use two-horse wagons,
crying 125 baskets of the same size.
Arguments of this kind cannot fail
to make an impression on the minds
of people in all farming communi-
ties. Just the same result at Moores-
town might not follow everywhere,
but something approximating to
them surely would, if good roads
were provided. The long and short
Of the matter is that good roads pay.
This is not a matter of absolute
demonstration.

Trusts Not Inyuinerable,

If the new attorney general of the
United States desires to fulfill his
party's pledge and, incidentally, to
enforce the law against the great
combinations which operate in re-
straint of trade, an excellent oppor-
tunity is presented him to begin
work. Mr.. Olney, whom he sue
ceeded, practically admitted that he
could not roach these law breakers.
That, 'er, was before the recent
decisioI/of the Supreme Court of
Illinois against the DistiIling and
Cattle Feeders Company. This
concern was formelY known as the
Whisky Trust, and was organized
in 1887. 1t was reorganized in 1890
as corporation, in order to evade
the law against trusts. The Stand
ard Oil Trust, the Sugar Trust, the
Lead Trust, and all the numerous
brood were similarly reorganized
with the same object in view. But
here comes the Supreme Court of
Illinois and unanimously declares
that all these organized concerns
are illegal organizations. AS JUS
ii ce Bailey says: "There is no magic
il a corporate organization which
! purge the trust scheme of it's
atty, and it remains as essen
y opposed to the principles of
d public policy as when the
It was in existence"
There you are, Mr.. Attorney
General Harmon. You have the
unanimous testimony Of the highest
court of a sovereign State to begin

from the feelings which animate the
ignorant denunciation of all forms
of organized capital, and it is from
the sentiment dominating platform

The Presidents Prospective -FOUR.

The Presidents Prospective -FOUR.
1t is stated that the Hon. Grover
Cleveland at the expiration of his
Presidential term will journey
around the world in palatial yacht
visiting the high and mighty ones
of earth and sauntering through
scenes made beautiful by nature or
grand historic associations. One of
the newspaper correspondents, who
seems to know all about it, says that
Mr.. Cleveland is ambitious to eclipse
the triumphal tour made some years
ago by his predecessor, General
Grant.
There is probably no man living
who could enjoy such trip more
intensely. There is plenty of evil
dence to show that he regards him
self as one of the greatest individuals
eyer born, and he will take keen
satisfaction in comparing himself
with those whom he must regard Jas
his interiors.
While in Europe MIR. 0leyo nd

Ing ID heads
living anu 49,. lie can,boast that
none of them ever equaled his great
act of causing a tremendous panic
by manipulating customs duties.
His unquenchable egotism will
prompt him to exult IN the belief
that his laundering message con-
talns as much wisdom as the writ
ings of the famous economists and
philosophers. Some time ago he
sent to various monarchs and to
the Pope copies of his writings.
His opinion of the intelligence OF
these dignitaries will hinge entirely
upon the degree of flattery in the
compliments which their consciences
will permit them to give him.
| While in England Mr.. Cleveland
will look with contempt upon the
powers of the Queen. He will call
to mind how his own Cabinet officers
were mere clerks, obedient to all his
whims, and will be astonished to see
that in England the heads of de-
partments are men of character, with
minds Of their own.
In ASIA and Africa there are
plenty of despotic rulers who may
boast that they have killed more
men than their American visitor,
but he can easily close their mouths
by retorting that be lbbs ac- h o " II
more men into poverty and idle
ness.
1t is not stated whether the trip
will include Honolulu, but if it does,
the ex-Presideut will be able to
mingle his tears with those of the
widow Dominis. Altogether the

Regarding that which is to meet
next winter, he says the House will

knock out any tariff legislature pro-
posed by the House. If the professor
can be relied upon as a prophet, the
country is in for another long period
of unsettling and tiresome time agi-

The time Is rapidly approaching
for the election of delegates to the
State convention. 1t will also be
the duty of the county convention
to name new State central com
mittee, and also a new county
executive committee in the place OF
those selected two years ago.
Republicans throughout the
county, especially IN those districts
furthest from Oakland, may con-
clude that by reason of the over
whelming sentiment in favor of
Mr.. Lowndes that it will be a waste
of time and money to attend the
convention. We want to impress
upon members of the party enter
tanning these sentiments that their
presence here is absolutely neces-
sary, There should be be f Ell re repre- pre-
sentation in the convention. Each
district should have a complete
delegation.
There are many reasons why this
should be so. Here, the first move
was made in bringing Mr.. Lowndes'
name before the people, and it
should be our pleasure to show to
the other counties of the State by q
largely attended convention that we
are united, determined and jealous
in our advocacy of the claims of
Mr.. Lowndes for the governorship.
A delegation to the State conven-
ton should be selected which will
be highly representative of the en-
Republican sentiment of
the county. 1t should be composed
of men who will reflect credit upon
the county and themselves. We ask
our friends in each and every dis
trict to attend the primaries and see
that they are fully represented at
the county convention.

that it was copy of one that he had

month. 1t was his resignation from
the force, of which he has been men,
Der for the last 81 years. The super
intendent said that on two occasions
since he was appointed in Superin-

point Of resigning, owing to the con-
tinued conflict between the commas
sioners and himself. The superin-
tendent, he said, should have absolute
charge Of the department., but that all
his efforts in that direction were frus-
trated ny the commissioners. The de-
partment was honeycombed with
abuses, which had been growing for
