An INVITING INSULT.

At the beginning of the Civil War a
great many people were quite ignor-
ant of the pomp and splendor of mill
tary titles. Their ignorance led to
many amusing incidents, one of which
is told in connection with Gen. Har
dee
It was at the time that Albert Sid
ney Johnston was in command at
Bowling Green, KY, and Gen. Hardee
was ordered with his command to
that place from Columbus, KY. At
that time the bridge over the Tennes
see river at Danville, Tenn, had not
been completed; and the general and
his command had to be ferried over
the river to cars on the opposite side.
When Gen. Hardee had crossed the
river, of course, that a
special car had been provided for
himself and his military staff he ac-
costed brakeman belonging to the
train with the question:
"Where shall and my staff go?"
The brakeman, having no idea who
the general was, or of what his staff
consisted, after surveying him and his
sword, thoroughly and somewhat con-
replied
"You can go into that car there,
and stick your old staff out of the

We do not believe there ever was a
time in the history of this country
when the sentiment in favor of pol
icy Of protection for our industrial
interests was stronger than it is now.
Democrats WHO were ardent supper
ters of Mr. Cleveland and his free
trade policy four years ago now I'M
hesitatingly declare their belief that
the present hard times here are trace
able directly to the Wilson tariff law,
and that the only hope of relief for
the country lies in the enactment of a
revenue law that will afford ample
protection alike to labor and TO CAPT
tai, and that will concurrently yield
all the revenue required by the gov
ernment. The people of this country
have learned through the hardest and
sternest of all schools experience
that a surplus in the treasury is not
as bad as a deficit and that there can
be no permanent and substantial p os-
perity in this country as long as We
continue the suicidal policy to send
annually hundreds OF millions of dol
lars abroad to purchase the products
Of foreign cheap labor, while our own
working classes are living in id leness
and restitution. In the ia ce of this
condition of things, it is idle to talk
about relief in currency reform. The
chief cause of the hard times and the
congested state Of currency may be
found in the un American and un
wise industrial policy of the govern
ment for the last three years or more.

NO LICENSE Law.

We copy the following from the
National Statesman:
The closing of the saloons of Nashua
tends to bring into prominence the
usual talk that is INDUCED in at the
beginning of every session of the leg
islature, that an effort will be made to
pass license law. Since The enact
ment of the present prohibitory laws
in New Hampshire a number Of at
tempts have been made to secure
their repeal in part or in whole and
to substitute icence therefore. Every
attempt has been beaten, while the
defeat two years ago Of license and of
the attempts to modify the prohibi
tory law was SO emphatic as to settle
beyond question the policy of the
state. Nothing has occurred in the
last two years to show that the peo
pie Of the state have undergone any
change of opinions. Any attempt,
therefore, at this session of the legis
lature to pass license law, upon the
form of which there has never been
any great unanimity of opinion, or to
change the prohioiory laws of the
state, will be futile and simply waste
the time Of the legislature.
The liquor question was thrust into
the last campaign by the Democratic
state convention and the Democratic
candidate for governor, Col. Kent,
made his canvass in part upon a de-
clara ton in favor of license law. Al
though it was the presidential year
and national issues overshadowed
local questions, there is nothing in the
support given to Colonel Kent in any
locality to indicate that the license
sentiment in this state is growing, In
every contest in the legislature,
very large majority of the Republi-
cans have stood in defense of the pro-
Military laws and have been rein
forced by strong minority of the
Democrats. The record will show
that, in recent years, as many Dem
ocrats voted in favor of the prohibit
tory laws as there were Republicans
voting against them. Nothing has
occurred since the defeat of license
two years ago to give encouragement
to it's friends to make another rally in
it's support in this legislature. 1t
would be doomed to an overwhelm-
ing defeat from the start and it would |
be idle to precipitate discussion of |
the question upon the legislature.

THE FREE HOMES BILL.

Little has been heard, in the East,
Homes bill which is to be considered
by the Senate this week.
Briefly stated, this bill provides
that all the public lands which the
United States has acquired by pur-
chase from Indian reservations shall
be made free gift to the settlers
who have occupied them. During
the last seven years the government
has paid or engaged to pay $25, 900, :
900 for these lands and there are SIS, :
600 yet required to be paid where the
transaction is not complete. The pur-
pose in acquiring these lands was to
open them up to settlement, and it
was estimated that by selling them at
very low price to actual settlers the
government would be repaid the pur-
chase money. Accordingly the lands
were opened and settled under the
provisions of the Homestead act, but
with the further requirement that
they should be paid for by the settl-
ers, at the rate OF 81 or So an acre,
five years after settlement. When
the time came for payment Congress
was induced to extend the time one
year, on the plea that the crops had
been bad; and then, at the end of a
second year, another extension was
voted, each time by an item in an APP
preparation bill. Now it is proposed
that payment shall be waived alto
gether and the land pass into the
hands of the settlers as a free gift.
The bill as first drawn proposed this
benefaction only for settlers in Okla
homa, but the liberal Senate commit
tee amended it to cover all lands ac-
CURED by purchase from reservations.
In the case of the lands already ac-
CURED, this amounts to the entire
people of the United States joining in
present of $40, 100000 to the
settlers of Oklahoma and other ter
ritories formerly held as Indian re-
servations. What the cost of similar
gratuities might be in the future,
when Indian Territory is distributed,
cannot be easily estimated.-Journal.

Township Collector J. G. Hippenstiel,
of Beverly township, appeared before
Squire Weller on Saturday and had a
warrant issued for Louis Meyer, charging
him with assault and battery. Meyer was
taken before Squire Rhodes and waived a
hearing. Meyer had warrant issued for
Hippenstiel on the same charge the lat
ter appeared before Squire Rhodes and
appealed his case to court.
What might have been disastrous fire
occurred on Thursday afternoon at the
double house on Spruce street, owned by
Doctor Adams and occupied by Edward
Jones and family and Mrs. Zigenfuss and
family. Smoke was seen to be issuing
through the weather boards and roof and
it was hard to locate the fire. Chief Gar.
ret D. Logan ordered that few weather
boards be torn off and a stream was
thrown where the smoke seemed to be
coming from. Both the fire companies
we're soon at the grounds and very little
damage was done to the houses.

Birch's Opera House, Burl
Saturday Night Row.

Last evening Squire Krayer held court
to listen to complaint entered by Officer
Severns against Charles Andrews, William
Rogers, Edward Armstrong. George Kel-
lock and August Powell, for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct.
The men were in Charles Heiss' saloon
about 10 o'clock Saturday evening, when
Jacob Higgins and William Smith went In
Kellock at once attempted to raise a row
with them. AS the new arrivals were
strangers and not inclined to quarrel, Mr..
Heiss took them to the waiting room and
ordered the others from the place. When
they were ready to go home Higgins and
Smith went to the horse shed, where some
of the parties who were in the barro ON
were waiting. Somebody struck Higgins
and be swore positively that it was Kel-
lock-
Smith tried to get his horse and he, too,
was struck and kicked. He knew that
Kellock hit him but could not tell who
else struck him.
Abraham Dennis, who stopped into the
hotel to get glass of beer, saw that
there was going to be trouble He saw
the fellows go out and after little while
Rogers came In. His finger was cut and
bleeding. He remarked that he got his
work in on one of the men outside
There was testimony that young Powell
was not in the fight, although he was at
the hotel earlier in the evening, and the
justice suspended sentence on him.
The others were given punishment as
follows: Andrews, 80 days or $40 and
COSTS Armstrong, 80 days or $40 and
COSTS Kellock 80 days or SIS and costs !;
Rogers 20 days or $40 and costs. Being
unable to pay their fines the first three
were sent to jail. Edward P. Holeman

Sea Side Park.

During the ensuing winter and spring
extensive improvements are contemplat-
ed. The lower half of the tract will be
graded and improved, opening up 1000
lots. Negotiations are also pending for
the purchase of the Norrance tract of 70
acres, adjoining on the south, and water
plant, sewer system and electric light ser
vice will be put in.
On Tuesday morning when Joe New
man and his crew of Sea Side Park fisher
men went out to their blue fish nets
which they had set several miles off shore,
they found 40 foot sperm whale tangled
in the nets. They thought the mammal
must be dead, but when they poked him
to find out, be nearly upset their boat
with his thrashing about. A harpoon
was secured and he was captured, but
then the boys did't know what to do
with him. They had no appliances for
cutting it up or trying out the oil and the
summer residents kicked against bringing
it ashore on account of the smell, so they
let it drift

That New Egypt Game.

There has been much dissatisfaction ex-
pressed oyer the game of base ball be-
tween Mount Holly and New Egypt last
Thursday and cries of a flake game" "a
set-up job" and other uncomplimentary
terms have been applied without stint.
The manager of the Mount Holly base
ball club fully expected to play the game
exactly as advertised and knew nothing
to the contrary until about Is minutes be-
fore the time scheduled, when he was in
formed that McFetridge was not in town.
Inquiry of the New Egypt manager
proved the truthfulness of this report and
also disclosed the fact that the New
Egypt people knew it the previous even
ing. Had they informed Mount Holly on
this point as soon as they learned it the
game would have been cancelled
Mount Holly has been giving the sport
loving public good games of ball at a
pecuniary loss. The management has
used every endeavor to secure strong
teams and has been very particular not
to do anything that would allow the least
reflection on its reputation. The failure
of McFetridge to appear was as much a
disappointment to the Mount Holly club
as it was to the audience, as the latter
confidently expected to give him further
evidence that he is not invincible as a
pitcher He is very jealous of his record
and possibly the real reason for his abb
sence may be found in the fact that he
did not relish the way in which Mount
Holly hit him at New Egypt and feared
a repetition of the Dose Whatever the
cause, the result is regretted by Mount
Holly's management, which is certainly
blameless.
