A piece of good news came up the tele-
graph wires from Bridgeton yesterday,
saying that Shoemaker, Of the Cumberland
glass works has given up his fight against
the uniOnizing of his works, signed the
scale and is employing union men. This
surrender practically settles the battle as
only three firms More-Jonss Company and
Jeffreys are now out of the union. This
is probably the most signal victory ever
woa by organized labor in New jersey.

1t is reported that President Mckinley
intends TO make the fight for reelection on
bis Philippine policy, in which case the
Democratic party will receive an army of
recruits from the best and abIest Republic
cans in the land. In reply to an invitation
to attend a conference of anti-imperialists
at Chicago on October 18th the venerable
Rev. DR.. Theodore D. Cuyler, OF Brooklyn
writes -
Every day OF this wicked war increases
my righteous Indignation at the attempt to
make our American flag of freedom
cover and protection of military despo
tism in the Philippine archipelago 1t is
enough to make the bones of Abraham
Lincoln rattle in their sepulchre /
earnestly hope that the conference will moi
repeat the fatal mistake Of the political
PrOhibitiOnists by attempting to organize
new and separate political party and thus
Withdraw us into a sort of Adullam cave,
where our influence and votes will count
for nothing. Let Us labor to educate the
American people in righteousness, to learn
our respective parties with truth, and then,
when the decisive time comes, let as throw
an immense and solid vote where it will
tell most heavily against this new tangled
and sbominable HEREBY Of Imperialism. /
trust that when Congress conyenes there
will be enough of the spirit of Samuel
Adams and Patrick Henry there to kindle
fame for liberty and humanity that shall
spread from Maine to California No man
and no nation can ever travel the wrong
road with even hope that it will bring
them out into the right The conscience
Of the civilized world is on our side.

A dispatch from Bridgeton, N. j., under
date of September 5. brings this positive
evidence OF prosperity Tee Cumberland
County Board of Assessors met here to-day
and fixed the tax rate. There is deere Sc
in valuation of several thousand dollars in
Bridgeton owing to the suspension of the
Cumberland Nail and Iron Company.
There was also a decrease in Greenwich

land. A demand for SS5.OOO Tor county
expenses caused an increase of two-tenths

Twice in history has the North American
republic won just gratitude from the
human race when it might have forfeited
it by policy less advanced by letting
Mexico go. when she lay conquered in our
hands-for taking down that flag which
once waved in the halls of the Montezu-
mas and contenting ourselves with slice
of territory when We might have plnndered
the whole More striking still is the case
of Japan. There is in the public park at
Newport, Rhode Island, the statue of
naval hero whose greatness lay not merely
in what be did, but in what he abstained
from doing 80 that, having for the first
time opened Japan 10 modern civilization,
Commodore Perry left it 20 work out its
own destiny, and become one of the great
free nations of the world. Can any one
doubt that Mexico and Japan are now far
higher IN condition than if they had been
reduced to subject or tributary States. as
Give and Hastings reduced British India
There is no proof that the japanese are
intrinsically superior to the Hindoos, bat
the one race was left free by the Ameri-
cans, and the other subjuaaied by English
men. So there is no proof that the Fill
pinos are not. as Admirable Dewey said, as
well fitted for freedom as the Cubans, or,
one may add. as the Mexicans This nation
has never needed to yindicate its power OF
fighting. In two instances. Japan and
Mexico, it has also proven its power Of
self-coDtrol. Can it be possible that we
shall fail to exeIsise the same selfcontro
in dealing with che Filipinos If we sue
coed, if we trust the principle of liberty,
we may see them stand where the Japanese
stand If we pursue the policy Of conquest
they can never rise above the humble con-
sition Of the Hindoos

So far as the Columbia aud the Sham
rock go on the matter of construction, it
is touch and go between them. Both are
plated with metal, of quite equally smooth
surface, the best that their respective
manufacturers could make. The American
yacht is shut in by Tobin bronze and the
British built yacht by manganese bronze,
and both are of the same thickness.
1t is predicted that the Shamrock will
be vastly different boat from the Val
kyrie III and that she will show more of
an improvement in many ways over the
challenger of 1895 than the Columbia will
over the Defender. The Valkyrie III had
more sail than the Defender and was deem
ed dangerous on this account until her
preliminary sailing showed that she was
not of such an easy form to drive as the
Defender and that the latter's smaller sail
would be more effective
All indications are that the Shamrock
will carry more sail than the Columbia and
that it will be carried on fully as finely
modelled and clean lined a boat. The
Columbia's mast is 10Y feet inches long
and the Shamrock's 10 feet. If the same
proportion holds good in the other spars
the Shamrock will have several hundred
square feet more sail to her credit.

An election to fill the vacancy in the
Third Missouri District, created by the
death of Richard Bland, was held on
Tuesday week. This District has been
Democratic by about three Thousand for
many years, excepting the year 1894, when
it went Republican by seYenty-four votes.
The issue in last weeks contest was ex
pansion to the Philippines and anti-ex
pansion. The Republicans named their
strongest candidate without friction, while
the Democrats only after four hundred and
eighty ballots. and great factional strife.
The Republicans were literally supplied
with money, and speakers of national re-
pute. and the campaign was squarely on
the foreign policy inaugurated by the
administration. The result is depressing
to the Republicans because their candidate
is defeated by over five thousand majority.
This is the first expression of the ballot
box on the policy OF criminal aggression.
John r. Mclean, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor of Ohio, was interviewed
as to his approval OF the declaration of
the State platform against the war in
the Philippines. He said =
" l endorse the platform heartily on this
point. l am opposed to a needless war in
the Philippine Islands. My record shows
where l stand. During the war with Spain
while war of humanity was being waged,
to carry the blessings of freedom TO an OPP
pressed people, daily. through the columns
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, l upheld the
hands of the President and pleaded with
the people to support the Administration
bat when that war was over and peace was
declared, /, with my party and my paper,
was opposed TO paying $4,000 QUO to
purchase another war, which Is being
waged against people whom we armed to
fight Spain, and, having armed them
against their lawful sovereign, we now
propose to destroy them because they ask
of us the same freedom that they had fought
for hundred years to obtain from Spain
The money of the hard working people OF
the United States has been used to bride
the Sultan OF Suln and help him IN main
tanning those twin relics of barbausm,
slavery and polgyamy, and all this Is
being done under the flag of the free l
am opposed to war being Waged by poll

Out Door Nests.

OF course in winter nests are made
in the henhouse. Hens are not apt
to be broody in cold weather, and the
short time the hen is laying her daily
egg does not cause vermin to breed IN
it. But so soon as warm days tempt
the fowls out Of doors they should be
encouraged to nest outside. About
this time too fowls will become broody,
and if allowed to nest in the henhouse
they will inevitably FIJI it with ver-
min. If the outdoor nest is made on
the ground the moisture arising from
the soil will keep the shell in good
condition for the chick when hatched
to pick its way through. Most hens
if allowed any range will steal their
nests, and generally bring off a larger
hatch of chicks than those for which
the poultry keeper has carefully set
the eggs.
