The citizens, Mutual.

Life Insurance is one OF the recognized
precautions that prudent men take to
provide for their families in case of
death. The business has grown to
enormous proportions. within genera
tiop, and the capital invested runs up
into the hundreds of millions. Until
within few years the business was
done by few large companies covering
a vast amount Of territory; but of late
the tendency has been to organize small
er companies with business confined to
more limited circle. The Citizens
Mutual was organized with the idea OF
giving the citizens of Atlantic County
the preference, and they now have the
opportunity to invest in solid safe and
reliable company. For all details apply
to John p. Giberson, General Manager,
Law Building, Atlantic City.

The Rorouxh ELECTION.

I'll e annual Borough election will take
place next Tuesday, March 10, and the
Union Caucus has nominated candidates
to be voted for. No caucus of the "Citi-
zens'' party has been called, and no one
seems to take sufficient interest to call
it. The last caucus was adjourned sub
ject to the call OF the chairman, Mr.. E.
R. Hates, and he has moved away per-
manently. There will probably be no
other caucus called, as the only issue
this year seems to be license or no Ii
cense, and upon that question the can
didates nominated at the Union Caucus
are quite satisfactory to those who
have hitherto voted the citizens ticke t.
The Press is in favor of Temperance,
law and order, and does not believe
that the one thing needful to ensure the
prosperity of Pleasantvillei an open bar
all the year around. Believing thus, it
will not imperil the result of the election
by seeking to divide those who think
alike. The men nominated for Mayor
and Councilmen are all worthy and hon.
orable citizens, and we believe they will
vote against license in case the bill now
pending in the legislature becomes law,
and they are called upon to decide the
question.
The time has come when all good men,
of every party, can yield something to
each other, and all unite for whatever is
for the best interest of the Borough. Ip
that spirit the Press will not oppose
some with whom it has hitherto differed,
and will more than willingly support
those with whom it has been in accord.
Oflate Pleasantville has found her enc
mics banded together to assail her, and
the changed condition of affairs demands
that all good citizens unite to defend her
best interest at home and elsewhere.

A motion was made by Isaac Collins
to instruct the candidates for Council to
vote against license in the event of their
being called upon to vote upon the ques
ton. Japhet Price moved to amend by
allowing the Council to call for a citi-
zens' meeting in order to get an express
sion of public sentiment-if the question
came before them, and motion pre-
vailed, The caucus was quiet and or
derly and but little interest displayed
outside of the license question.

the TURKISH MISSION.

The appointment OF Pres. Angel, OF
Michigan University, to be Minister to
Turkey, is conceded to be one of Pres.
McKinley's best. It is understood that
Pres. Angel goes with special instruc-
tions to press the claims for indemnity
for loss to American property and in
dividuals, in which the president and
secretary Of state have taken a great
interest. Minister Terrill made very
little Roadway in these matters, and
since the war with Greece is now on,
the difficulties have been greatly in
creased. DR.. Angel, however, is an
expert in diplomacy. He was mem
Der of the commission that formulated
the Burlingame treaty with the
Chinese, and in every way is admirably
adapted to this important and COM
plicated task. We predict that he
will make the Sultan recognize Uncle
Sam as a force even in the Orient.

WOMAN ON THE FARM.

Soil Culture begs to dissent from the
attitude Of several agricultural journals
which advocate outdoor work for
women. The home is woman's field.
Not that she should be clustered. We
would not limit her sphere. Ifshe pre-
fers the pillow to household duties, that
is her privilege. But nature has made
her different from man, and there is
nothing to be gained and much to be
lost by making her over. And why
should there be any desire to do SO?
Woman Is Gods best gift to man, the
perfection of his handiwork. AS the
poet sings:
HE tried his prentice hand on man.
And then he made the lasses, o.
The gentler walks Of life
are her way. We don't want her
heavy muscled and sunburnt and sweaty.
II that were the type she might as well
have been born male, and Adam would
have lost more than Eden. Sometimes,
through stress OF circumstances, she is
forced to take the place Of her brother.
But this Is misfortune. In such cases
let US honor and pity her for her faith
fulness in adversely. This is no reason
why her more fortunate sister should
envy an imaginary freedom. 1t is no
more breaking the bonds for woman to
let her pitch hay or husk corn than it
is widening the sphere of the bachelor
to permit him to mend his clothes and
cook his meals.
It Is not American for women to work
in the fields, and it never will be. 1t is
q foreign habit, and the results show
plainly that it should always be foreign
to US.

Turks, like that between their respec-
tive civilizations, IL irreconcilable.
The probabilities, however, are that |
the European powers will intervene be-
fore either OF the combatants has Sc |
cured decided advantage over the |
other. Western Europe, controlled by
its bankers and bourses, has shown |
itself capable of seeing the Armenians
massacred, the brave Cretans struggling
for liberty bombarded and Greece
threatened-all in the interests of
peace. But when it comes, as it may,
to seeing Athens and its magnificent
ruins once more endangered by the
Turk even Europe cannot stand by and
permit that outrage upon civilization.
Greece is smallest and weakest OF the
countries Of Europe, hut it is greatest
and grandest in history and traditions,
and grandest also in the courage and
heroism of its people, as shown in
recent events. These are some OF the
things that will plead eloquently with
Europe in its behalf should the Turks
over-run Greece and threaten to de-
spoil Athens.
Technically Greece has scored a
diplomatic point in compelling Turkey
to take the initiative in the conflict
that has been impending so long. As
| the powers have declared that the
| aggressor shall not profit at least ter
ritorially in the event of war, Greece
by nominal compliance has kept within
the counsel Of powers. The govern
ment cannot be held responsible for the
bands of ''irregulars," to whose raid
into Turkish territory the final steps
that Turkey has taken were due,
though these irregulars made Turkish
resistance necessary. That both sides
were ready and eager for the conflict
the fighting all along the frontier since
last Friday night furnishes the best
evidence. Unfortunately for Greece it
| probably also furnishes pretty accur-
ate forecast OF the final result, for,
! aside from successes gained at Prevesa
by the bombarding Greek feet, the ad-
vantages elsewhere seem to be with
the Turks, and that not only in the
| fighting but in the reported alliances
and intentions of Albania, Servia and
Bulgaria. The Turks after desperate
fighting hold Milouna pass, two of the
Greek blockhouses being carried by
the Turks at the point of the bayonet,
the Greek loss being reported at 1000
dead, while the Turkish is placed at
200. The invasion of Albania by q, 900

successful in its beginning, but the

and have assured Russia they will

orally in Turkey rise, Greece may be

however, everything is doubtful, ex-
cept the fact that Greece is engaged in

whelming odds.-Chicago Record.
