SHE BUILDS HER KINGDOM OF HEAVE

Most people have queer ideas of
teiven. They think that we shall die
and suddenly change into beautiful,
dazzling angels, instantly becoming
sweet tempered and pure and gentle and
perfect, as we'll as be entirely happy for
ever thereafter. Such a transformation
would be no more possible than for a
tiger to be suddenly transformed into a
god. We shall never reach the kingdom
OF heaven, though We die a thousand
times, till we grow into it. What would

appointments, do in heaven ? Angels
alone make a t~elven, AND until a woman
Is something of an angel in her earth life
she can by no possibility associate with
angels after she is dead. What, is death
anyhow? 1t is merely the slipping off
OF the body. We ourselves are exactly
the same as we were before, with all our
meanness and littieness upon our heads,
and that is exactly how we shall be
ushered into the hereafter. Therefore let
us begin and perfect ourselves here. 1t
is the only way to enter heaven after we
are dead. Let us first of all clear our
minds of every evil thought and passion.
Let us learn to control our temper per-
fectly. Let us not admit for one moment
an evil thought of any human being into
our souls. either in the way of anger,
jealousy, malice or pride. 1t will take
years to do this, but it will furnish us an
improving occupation all the years of our
earth lives. W. J. Colville has said that
the imbittering of life which we permit
to ell our minds is the secret spring of
all old age and decepitude. So it is.
The sour, sallow. faced, spiteful.looking
woman is exactly what she has made her
self in the years that were given to her.

gentle and sincere and kindly. So shall
you really inaugurate the kingdom of

The ticket nominated by the Republi-
sans at Pennsgrove on Wednesday is one
of the best the party has ever placed in
the field to receive the suffrages of the
people. 1t is not only representative in
character, but the men composing it are
in every way fitted for the discharge of
the duties of the positions for which they
have been named. Beside, they stand
upon a platform that commends itself to
the honest judgment of the masses, and
such a combination in the present crisis
of doubt and uncertainty ought to make
it an invineible ticket. We believe it will
and that this Judgment willkbe fully vim
dictated at the polls in November. Mr..
Richard G.. Miller, the nominee for State
Senator, is a resident of Alloway, in which
township he was born, and with the bust
ness interests of which he has been iden-
tilted all his life, and his best introduction
to the people of the county is the high
regard in which he is held at home. He
is q son of the late Samuel ". Miller, a
man highly esteemed. and who represent
ed the county in the Legislature and filled
the Office of Sheriff. The son possesses
many of the excellent traits of the father,
and having resided all his life in the eoun-
ty and being identified with its interests,
he has all the essential requisites to make
him a capable and safe representative OF
the people of Salem county in the State
Senate. AS much can be said for Joseph
B. Crispin, the nominee for the Assembly.
He ia one of the solid farmers of Manning
top. a man who is everybody's friend, and
knowing the needs Of the farmers. who
can better represent them at Trenton.
BENJAMIN B. Westeott. the nominee for
Sheriff. is a man of business affairs, at
present Director of the Board of Free
holders, in which body he has had much
experience, fitting him for the duties OF
the sherif's office. HE is popular al home
and the people of the county will make
no mistake in eleeting him to the office OF
Sheriff. a most important trust. The
gentlemen named for Coroners are capas

appeal to white ribboners in the United
States and Canada In the following call:
"MY CoMRADEs:-The cup of wrath is
full. Ia these two terrible years when
the massacre of the innocent has gone on
under the eyes of our paralyzed rulers in
christian lands, we have thought that
men alone could help. But it is women
who are dying two deaths in the bloody
East, and we, their sisters, can no longer
wait. You have nobly responded to my
earlier appeal, and in the name of Christ
and humanity, of the home against the
harem, l earnestly and tenderly call upon
you to organize meetings in every
locality. urging our government to CO.
operate with England in putting a stop
to the massacres and giving protection
henceforth to Armenian homes. Let
these be mass meetings addressed by the
p~artors, the business men and the most
capable women. Let money be raised by
systematic visitation as we'll as by collec-
tion, and forwarded to our National
Treasurer, Mrs. Helen M. Barker, The
Woman's Temple Chicago. And may
God deal with us at last as we deal with

The Democrats rather disappointed
general expectation in the composition of
the ticket nominated at Elmer on Wed.
nesday, and in the selection of M. F.
Riley as their standard bearer, evidently
mean to make a determined fight to
regain their lost prestige in the county.
As a man and a citizen nothing can be
said against him, but the issues in the
present campaign are far broader than
the limits of either the county or State,
and the support of the county tickets
will be largely influenced by the money
question. The platform upon which Mr..
Riley was nominated declares for free
silver coinage, and he plants himself
squarely upon the platform, and outside
of a few personal votes, this will consti-
tute his strength. The balance of the
ticket is most likely ar accommodation
affair, but the rumor is that this part of
the program has miscarried, and that
both j. Morris Reeves, nominated for the
Assembly. and John A. Fihlaw, the NOM
inee for Sheriff, have declined. If this
be true, it Is difficult to surmise who will
be Mr.. Riley's running mates. There
are various expressions as to the strength
of the ticket, but one thing is sure, that
while the chances seem to be agains. his
election, it must not be forgotten that
MI. Riley is a hustler, and the man who
beats him will have no walk-over.

not issue certificates based on these pri-
vate dollars, because it will not own the
coin with which to redeem them. Hence
their owr FRS must throw them upon the
market for what they will bring. With
all the silver in the world, produced at a
cost of about 40 cents on the dollar, in
active competition with them, they will
go down and down till they touch the
price of nickel or copper tokens.
The effect Of such coinage upon the
wages of labor will be appalling. Take
the railroads, for instance, the greatest
employers of labor in the country. Their
charges for travel and freight are fixed
by law. The free coinage dollar, being
legal tender, must either be accepted by
them or they must close business. They
will be forced to pay labor in the cur
rency they receive, and, of course, caul
not increase the pay of their employees.
And the railroads will set the standard Of
all other wages. The widows, the rep, e.
sentatives of little estates, who have put
their savings and their legacies into
mortgages, must take their pay in these
silver dollars, no matter how much they
are deprecated. The man who has
placed his savings in a life insurance
policy to protect his wife and chileren
when he is gone, knows that their sup.
port will be cut down one-half, and prob
ably to a mere pittance, if free silver
prevails. The depositors in savings
banks and the investors in building and
loan associations will be subject to the
same calamity. Nothing but a gold
clause in their contracts can save them.
And it is perth ent to state here that
Altgeld, Stewart, Sswall and several
other advocates of silver as s'the poor
mans money" are now putting This gold
guarantee into their mortgages, leases,
notes and all other promises to pay.
They fairly worship the "dolIar of their
daddies," but gold, the evils oil which
Mr.. Bryan so eloquently depicts, is good
enough for them.
The country is just emerging from the
panic of 1898, and adjusting itself to the
harder conditions imposed by the Wilson
German tariff. In three elections the
people have voted for a restoration of the
protective tariff which gave them such
prosperity during the Harrison admins
~tration. just as the people had resolved
to have the old tariff re.enacted, along
came the very men who destroyed the
nations prosperity in 1898. supported by
the silver kings, with this proposal:
"Drop the tariff and we will give you
something better" That better thing is
