If you want proof of the decline of the
New Jersey Democracy look at the differ
ence between the old Albeit and the pres
ent Smith management" Constitution.
If the readers of the Consultation find evil
dence Of decline in the Democracy of to-day
as compared with that of yesterday, yet it
has not taken the form of nominating for
high representative Office man who, in
violation of common honesty and every
consideration of business honor, stealthfully
took from his business partners a large
amount of money. 1t has been left for Re-
publicanism of the Sewell brand to do that,
right in this Congressional District, and
Republican papers of the Sewell brand
openly glory in the disgrace. When the
Democracy declines to the level of Sewell
the GLOUCESTER COUNTY
DEMOCRAT will ask the people to purge it
as with fire.

Joseph Chamberlatn with Us,

New York, Sept. 8.-Right Hon. Jo-
seph Chamberlain. British secretary of
state for the colonies and Birming-
hams representative in parliament, ar
rived here last evening on the White
Star liner Majestic. He was accom-
panied by his wife and Miss Chamber
lain. They left later for Massachusetts,
where they will visit the Endicotts, of
which family Mrs. Chamberlain is a
member. Secretary Chamberlain will
return home in the fall. His visit to
this country, the distinguished English
statesman said, has no political sig
nificance.

Kinley an answer to the telegram re-
questing permission for the troops of

parade in this city at the celebration

the health of the soldiers will allow, to
permit review which will enable the
people of the city of New York to show
their appreciation of the brave men
who in the last three months have per-
formed such heroic services to the
country. If the officers report that it
will not be injurious to the health of
the soldiers in their present condition.

to comply with your patriotic sugges-
ton"

The newspapers are sadder reading these
days for the American people than they
were when the fire of battle ragged about
Santiago. Every days record seems to
make things worse. Wherever soldiers are
in camp there appear to be mismanage-
meut and laundering, with resulting want,
among the high officers continue, and
courts of inquiry and courts-martial are
talked Of There is lacking strong mind
and powerful will at the helm.

One Of the difficult questions which the
Republican campaigners will have to deal
with this Fall is the deficit of upwards OF
$42.000,000 that the Treasury statement
shows to have existed at the close of the
fiscal year on the Both of June. The clev-
crest manipulation of figures cannot make
it plain why, even with an expenditure OF
$4,000 900 for war purposes, the Treasury,
which had received $640OO,0O0 from the
sale of the Pacific railroad, should still
show a shortage of $42, 600 900.

Cincinnati. Sept. 8.-Music Hall was
again packed to its fullest capacity last
night for the campfire presided over by
Colonel w. B. Metllish. executive direc-
tor of the citizens committee of ar
rangements for the g. A. r. encamp-
ment. AS Governor Pingree, of Michi-
gan, was compelled to take train at
1890 for Detroit, he was given the first
place on the program. The governor
referred to the mismanagement and
restitution of the soldiers. After citing
a particular case of bad management in
the distribution of disinfectants he
said:
IF Secretary Alger
But Governor Pingree never finished
that sentence. He could not proceed,
and even with the most persistent eff
forts of Chairman Mellish the governor
was unable to utter another word. A
voice in the audience cried: 'Hurrah
for Alger" The cry was taken up l.. a
boisterous chorus. The governor at
tempted repeatedly to proceed, but the
audience refused to listen to another
word The audience interpreted these
three words to be the beginning of
strain of censure, and absolutely refused
to let the speaker proceed. Shouts Of
Amen Take him off, eve don't
want to hear him" and the like were
heard throughout the hall
The chairman made futile efforts to
quell the disturbance. The governor then
retired He was reading his speech from
manuscript, and after quiet had been
restored Chairman Mellish finished the
sentence which the audience had re-
fused to permit Governor Pingree to
read. 1t ran as follows:
IF Secretary Alger had been given
full power such things would never
have happened.
The Transformation of the audience
was then humiliatingly complete to all
who were present There were cheers
and repeated calls for Governor Pin
gree, but he had left the hall and re-
fused to return.

The MASTERING ont prooess

washington, Sept. 8.-In response to
the request of the governors of some
of the states for the muster out of their
entire volunteer force, the president re-
piled in substance as follows: Il have
already directed that 100000 of the vol
unteers shall be mustered out of the
service. About 100000 will remain, as
the government now requires in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines larger
army than the regular military estab-
lishment affords. The muster out, like
the muster in, will be as nearly as pos
sible according to the population of
the several states. The suggestion to
muster out all of the volunteers from
your state cannot, therefore, be enter
tanned"

Stories in Passing.

myself was in the city yesterday. l
was passing small. uppainted cottage
built close to the pavement on an un-
freauented side-street. There were cheap
but clean white curtains OF the windows,
and near the fence few sickly gerani-
ums looked up at tn, SUI. A great. evi
looking dog lay stretched full length in
the path near the corner Of the cottage.
A wagon bearing the name OF dealer
in second hi and goods, was backed up to
the door. A large, heavy set man With
a great. red, unshaven face over which
enormous eyebrows protruded, stood
beside the gate. His coat was of. and
his coarse, wooden shirt unbuttoned at
the neck showed huge rolls Of flesh up.
on his throat and bis coarse, hairy
breast. This man was directing two
others who were moving an upright
piano from the house into the wagon.
In doing 80 one Of the men clipped from
the walk and crushed geranium.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

refut.s this charge strenuously and
points to the outcome Of a certain meet
ing last fall as proof Of the practical
nature their labor has taken.
Early in October. car load of orphan
children was billed to visit the town for
the purpose Of being placed in suitable
homes. The Woman's club OF the place
met the day before the cars arrival. For
their parliamentary drill that day, the
ladies took up the motion THAT it was
the duty Of every married woman with
out child, to adopt at least one Of these
orphan children"
The discussion was the .warmest of
the year. The question was taken up
from all points OF view-as q duty, a
privilege, financial investment and the
like. The session lasted all the after
noon and far into the evening. In fact,
so much enthusiasm was aroused that
the next day twenty-seven orphans found
homes with the childless members Of
the club. One married lady took five.
one widow three. and one cid maid
adopted twins. And the ladies who had
children Of their ovn,sn mot to be out done
