the Borough was to issue five per
cent bonds running for five years.
In order to verify the rumor we
asked to inspect the minutes of the
Town Council but was informed by
the Secretary that he was instructed
that they we're not open for our ex-
animation. He furtherstated that
no contract had yet been made, and
that there was no resolution ON the
book to buy the glen. We are
therefore unable to present the facts
except as stated by a member of the
council Il may be policy TO pursue
dark lantern methods, and keep the
public in ignorance of what is being
done, but such generally prove
fruitless, and in the end react The
people may or may not be willing
to expend the sum stated, in the
purchase of the property. We have
heretofore intimated that in our
opinion the Borough should own the
glen, and we still abide in that belief
providing it can be obtained at a fair
figure, but we also think before a
step of such Importance is taken the
public should be consulted, or at
least it should be allowed the privi-
lege of knowing what steps are being
taken. Our council went to the ex-
pense of calling on advisory election
in the matter of electric lights, why
not at least consult the taxpayers in
this a matter of greater moment ?

EDITORIAL.
ATTEMPT TO FOMENT DIS
CORD.

ANfANiJs
w. c. Courtright was last week
appointed postmaster at Laeka-
waxen in place of John NJ William
son whose term had expired.
Our highly esteemed cotemporary
says that this appointment is re-
garded by the, Quay wing of the
party in little Pike as a direct slap
in the face. On the authority of
what Quay men does it say this ?
=" It is an old adage that one
must go away from home TO learn
the news, hence the Democrats are
able to furnish it in this case. We
did not know there was a Quay
wing here. We supposed, and are
yet under the impression that the
Republicans of Pike county are good
faithful party men, but not like
some Democrats, so hide bound and
impervious to all sense of right or
reason as to follow through thick
or thin so-called local party leaders
who for motives purely personal or
selfish, presume to thrust them-
selves TO the front. The Republ-
cans here so far as we know are all
Quay men, and so long as the senior
Senator is in accord with Republican
principles, and strives for the gen
eral good of the party, he will have
their undivided support Mr. Quay
is certainly not chargeable with the
tricks of all those who would be
ranked as his first and most ardent
supporters, but who are first and
most ardent for their own interests
and aggrandizement. He probably
understands such men and rates
them and their efforts at their real
party value.
GAS a broad minded man and an
earnest Republican he would not aid
or abet' their petty performances
had he the time or inclination to lis
ten to them. There is no neither
wing that we are aware of here,
nor yet any wings which do not flop
in harmony for the general results.
Moreover we expect soon to be the
whole bird, and if our esteemed Elk
NJ. c. should by any hook or crook
purloin the next Congressional nom-
ination it viii only be necessary for
us to sit on the fence and see him
mutilate the majority again as he
did in 1894 and 1896 to observe after
the fracas the whole Democratic
party in this county, not even as
wing, or few tail feathers, but as
a sore toe stubbed completely off.
Don't worry neighbor about our
scraps, we call a spade a spade, but
when we are in front of the enemy,
we are there all together and don't
you forget to remember that little
bit of an aphorism.

The Inspiring theme.

Let each American to-day renew
within his heart the pledge given by
the men of 1776 to the principles
which they established cement his
faith to the constitution which they
and their compatriots erected and
consecrated. Then shall our land
take her proper place among the
nations of the earth then shall
gather around her alter emancipated
millions then shall her institutions
rest on political truth, having pub
lie morals and private worth for its
base, and from now on to the remot-
est end of time she shall proclaim to
the world the soul inspiring theme
that all men are created free and
equal and endowed by their Creator
with certain natural and inalienable
rights, among whichare life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.-Selec-
ted

When the pilgrim fathers fed to
the inhospitable shores of New Eng
land and the Huguenots took refuge
in the milder region Of the Carolinas
they came imbued not only with the
resolve to find country where they
could worship God according to the
dictates of their own conscience,
but they came imbued with that
other and not less important aspira-
ton, that some day they would be
able to found a government resting
upon the eternal truth that all men
are created free and equal and are
endowed by their Creator with Ger
tain rights, among which are the
enjoyment Of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. The Bible is
God given, and 50 also IS the Decla-

SPIRIT OF FREEDOM.
Patriotism Abides Iu the Hearts of All
True Amerisans.

Patriotism Abides In the Hearts of All
True Amerisans.
1t is well that there abides in the
hearts of the American people a
spirit of patriotism, of love of coun-
try--a spirit which has in the hour
of the nations peril filed the land
with 100000 armed men, each
ready, if need be, TO give his life in
defense of the flag whose broad
stripes and bright stars freedom has
made her own. A spirit which
rises to terrible enthusiasm at the
slightest affront TO our national
honor becomes visible to men as the
genius of American liberty, its
mighty form filling the land with
its stern magnificence, its warlike
brow capped with the thun er of
battle, and its flashing sword scin-
tillating the lightning of its wrath
to the farthermost corners of the
world
But, thanks to that beneficent
Providence which has ever with
tender care guided the footsteps of
the republic, it is not often that the
trumpet of war sounds its notes of
defiance from the mountain top of
our national greatness. calling the
sons of Columbia to victory. The
garlands Of peace are intwined about
our folded battlefags, and not
death S grim harvest, but prosperi-

CONCERNING THE GLEN

Rumors have been ahoat for the
past week or more concerning the
purchase Of the Glen by the Borough.
Surveys have been made, and it has
been stated by at least one of the
councilmen that bargain was con
summated at a special meeting held
during court week, by which the
Borough agreed to pay the sum Of
$500 for all that part Of the glen
lying ON the Borough side, but was
to receivea deed for the whole pro-
perty included between the line Of
h B Wells on the south west
and that Of Jacob Klaer on the
north east, excepting the several
snail houses, for which payment

FOURTH OF JULY ADVICE.
Hints For Young Folks on How to Cele-
brate Independence Day.

Hints For Young Folks on How to Ceie-
brate Independence Day.
Be sure to get up at 4 o'clock this
morning so that you can have all
your firecrackers exploded before
breakfast. Later in the day per
haps you can get your little sister
to loan you some of hers.
Don't bother about scraping out
the fire in your punk just stick it
into the pocket where your fire
crackers are when you get through
with it.
When you light fuse and it
won't go, stoop over and blow it
well. If you lose your eyebrows,
they'll grow on in a year or two.
Always sit on the old barrel un.
der which you put the lighted can
nom cracker If the head caves in
and you go through you may lose
both legs, but the probability is that
you will lose only one.
Always hold a roman candle
squarely by the end. In this way,
if it should happen to blow out back
ward you can have complete cele-
bration up your coat sleeve.
Lay your lighted punk carefully
on the stone steps. You may want
to come back after awhile and sit
down on it.
By all means drink 16 glasses of
lemonade and eat as many dishes of
ice cream as yo1 car, IL doesn I
matter at all if you are gr0aning and
tossing on the lounge in the back
parlor while the other boys are
watching the fireworks. Exchange,

There are some items of income

there are also items of expense not

they may nearly balance, and it is
also possible that some of the items
