Liberty Mover Degrades Woman.

Man has not been consciously un-
just to woman in the pust, nor is hc
now but he believes that she is in
her true sphere, not realizing that
he has fixed her sphere, and not God
as he in,aeines This is as true of
the barbarian as of the Christian
and no more so. If the "unspeak-
able Turk" should be solicited to op.
en- the doors of his harem and let the
inmates become free, he would be
indignant, doubtless, ard would
swear by the beard of the prophet
that he never would so degrade
lovely woman, who, in her sphere,
was intended to be the solace of
| glorious, superior man
Yet, as man advances woman is
elevated, and her elevation in turn
advances him. No liberty ever Civ
en- her has been lost or abused or re
GREETED. Whore most has been Civ
en- her she has become best. Liber
ty never deErades her slavery does
For her own good, therefore, she
needs the ballot.
Woman's vote is needed for the
good of others. She is an enemy OF
foreign war or domestic turmoil
she is a friend of peace and home
Her influence for good in many di.
rections would be multiplied if she
possessed the ballot. She desire:
the homes of the land to be pure ant
sober; with her they may become
so. Without it what is the pros
pect III this regard.
Politics must be purified or we are
lost To govern this great Nation
wisely and we'll is not degrading
service to it, all the wisdom, abil
ity and patriotism of all the people
is required. No great moral force
should be unemployed.

MRS. MARIA FR1EpERrKA BECK.

MhEs Mn w y bbths
Maria Friederika, Brinnier, widow
of Ernest G.. Beck, who died March
8, 1888, suddenly departed this life
Friday July G as was noted last week.
She was born at Kocherstinafeld,
Wurtemberg, Germany, Nov. IS,
1884, and was one of a family Of nine
children, two only Of whom, John
NJ. "a prominent citizen of Kingston,
N. Y, and Sophia, residing in the
Fatherland, survive. She was mar
ried in 1858 and July 4, 1867, with
her husband, came to Pike. They
walked from Port Jervis to Ding
mans Ferry, where they resided for
over a year and half and were resi-
dents Of Delaware township until
1867 when they came to Milford,
which place has since been her home
and since the death of her husband
she has successfully conducted the
Vandermark House, which was for
some years previously under his man
agement. Hers was a kindly, gen
erous disposition and especially in
her family did her motherly instincts
and domestic qualities endearher. Oi
the thirteen children she bore nine

Logic and Lampoon.

One of the prime reasons why the
ministers who preach in all the
fashionable" churches are so en-
thusiastic in their support of the
great Willie the Wobbler, is be-
cause under his prosperity adminis-
tration, working people do not earn
enough money to support their fam
lilies in comfort-and then whack up
with the preachers. The preach
ers--most of them at least-only
spout for pay, and they know where
the pay comes from. And this is
modern christianity
Above is a specimen of rhyme,
reason, truth and sense used by the
Democratic Bayonne, N. J. Budget
to influence voters. Presumably the
paper appreciates the intelligence of
its readers at a full value when it
attempts by such political can't to
bias their minds. 1t is Bryanesque
argument gone to seed, and like
thistle down ready to be blown
around to raise another crop which
every thrifty person must spend a
little time to exterminate. If work
ing men are to be caught by such
absurdities they ought to go back to
the Cleveland, soup house, Demo-
cratic times and enjoy such life
without whine.

[ oBITURAY
FERDINAND BERrHouD.


After a painful illness which grad
ually weakened his system, Mr.
Berthoud died early last Saturday
morning. July I. He was born at
Locle, Switzerland, Feb. 6, 1928,
where he learned the trade of watch
making, and in 1913 came to Ameri-
ca. He located in Philadelphia and
for several years, until it burned, was
proprietor of watch case manufac-
tory there. He was a veteran of the
civil war having first enlisted for
nine months with the 90 New Jersey
Regiment and after an honorable dis
charge reenlisted and served again
until discharged when he again Of
fered his services but the war closing
did not go out He fought in num-
Der of battles but was fortunate in
never being wounded. In 1866 he
came to Milford and entered the sill
yer watch case shop of the late De-
sire Bournique, where he remained
until 1878 when he established a gold
watch case mandatory which busi-
ness he carried on for several years,
when he relinquished it to his son-in-
law. He was a quiet industrious cit
izen, honorable in his dealings, high
ly esteemed by those in his employ
and by the community generally.
He was twice married, his second
wife who survives him and whom he
married at Woodbury., N. j., in 1860
being Adele Briard. He is also sur
vived by children as follows: Louise,
wife of Charles Guinand, George,
Harry, Frank, Elise, Juliette, Jose
phine, wife of Richard Blizzard, OF
Philadelphia, and Emma, wife of P.
j. Girard, of Brooklyn, n. Y. The
funeral, conducted by Rev. c. B.
Carpenter of the Episcopal church,
was held Tuesday at 2 p, m. and in
terment in the Milford cemetery.

PICKED UP BY THE RAMBLER.

In the midst of life we are in
death How clearly this fact was il
lustrated last Friday wher two pro-
minent ladies of this community
died suddenly within one hour of
each other.
The Democratic party seems to
have simmered down to one thing
civilian j. Bryan" and 16 to 1.
Although a majority of the dele
gates to National Convention were
opposed to the adoption of the 16 to
1 free silver platform William had
his way. The result will not be
hard to guess.
A few low places in our side walks
filed mp or the flag stones raised
would prove a great convenience in
wet weather and few over head
branches cut off would save the hats
of some tall ladies'.
The Brick house school over in
Montague is still without princi-
pal, Miss Nettie Brink has been reen-
gagged as assistant at $50. per month,
Alice Ramage will again teach the
Glove school, Blanche Young will
teach the Nearpass and Miss Girls
pin, of Newton, will teach the Riv-
er school. The wages paid are $25.
per month in the three last named
schools.
This town seems to have some
cats that love young chickens to eat.
One of those animals received a we'll
merited load of shot at the hand Of
L. F. Hafner.
No one can complain about the
weather not being warm enough last

John Nixon, of Newton, was u
caller over here Saturday.
Miss Mary Jane Preston a former
resident of Dingmans but now of
Colesville, N. j., is visiting her
sister Mrs. Edward Cooper in Mon

We often hear it remarked this
or that old farmer is no gentleman,
, because he has mo Trespass" no.
tice on his property. Now does a
farmer not have the right to control
, property he owns and pays taxes
for? Or must he submit to have
whosoever chooses to run over his
fields, tear down his fences, confis-
cate his fruit ETC. Hardly. The
other day noted a young man and
young lady helping themselves to
berries on property where notices
fOrbidding trepass were in plain
2 sight. Yet they paid no attention
whatever to the notice and came
3 very near being sassy when told
r they were intruding on private pro-
: perty. Farmers as a rule are far

The Dancin q Ukase.

The modern and illustriOus order
of Dancing Masters, in solemn con
ference assembled has decreed that
henceforth and hereafter, the cere
mony known as the "round dance"
shall be performed without the hug.
The trousered ght-fantastic-to toer
shall no longer be permitted to take
a full arm grasp upon his assister,
but must lay three fingers lightly
upon the rear centre of the diapha-
nous SHIRT waist, and standing as far
away as his reach may permit, gyrate
decorously over the waxed floor
The Dancing Masters are prepar-
ing the rope that will launch them
into inocuous desuetude The bles-
sed privilege whereby the youth can
grab his charming partner with all
the energy of a grizzly bear, and
swing her off her feet at the short
corners has been the means of popu-
larizing the waltz and putting into
the background the stately minuet
and the sleep provoking quadrille.
Upon this popularity of the waltz
the dancing masters have flourished
and grown fat as their active voca-
tion will allow. Also they have
grown autocratic and with the in
ward promptings of the tyrant have
demanded the abolition of the one
feature that has given them stand
ing.

Now Jersey Foreieners.

The saying that New Jersey is n
foreign state comes down from the
time when Jos Bnnaparte, ex- King of
Spain and Naples, after the downfall
of Napoleon, sought an asylum
in the United States, as an alien he
was obliged to obtain special act of
the legislature to enable him to hold
real estate. Pennsylvania refused
hut New Jersey consented, and he
established himself in princely mag
nificeuce at Bordentown. Hence
men of other States used numerous.
ly to declare that the Jerseymen
with their foreign prince, were for
eigners, and the State not a part OF
the Union.

The work of the Democratic Ma.
tionnl Convention has made no ap-
preciable change in the political out
look, and will not cause any mater.
ial change in the programme of work
mapped out by the Republicans.
The election of Mckinley and Roose-
welt will be the logical outcome Of
existing conditions, but Republicans
everywhere are to be urged to work
as though the result depended upon
each mans individual efforts. The
Democratic ticketand platform must
be taken seriously and the evil re-
suits that would follow Democratic
victory be pointed out to every vot.
er. That is the Republican pro
gramme.

Our Chinese Policy,

The President through a circular
sent out by tine Department of State
has clearly defined our policy in the
Chinese matter 1t is to adhere
to the policy initiated in 1857 of
peace with China, of futherance
of lawful commerce and of prot &C.
ton of lives and property of our cit
izens by all means guaranteed under
extraterritorial treaty rights, and by
the law of nations. If wrongs are
done to our citizens we propose to
hold the responsible authors to the
uttermost accountability. The con-
dition at Peking is looked on as an.
archy and the responsibility devol
YES on the local provincial authori-
ties. If they are not in collusion
with the rebellion they represent the
Chinese people with whom we seek
to remain in peace and friendship.
The President proposes to act con-
currently with other powers in res
cuing American officials. nissionar-
les and other citizers in danger, to
afford protection to American life
and property and guarding and pro-
tecting legitimate interests, and to
prevent the spread of disorder and
and a recurrence of disasters. The
policy is bringing permanent safety
and peace to China to preserve its ter
ritory intact, and safe guard for the
world the principle of equal and i'm
partial trade with all parts of the
Chinese Empire.

The Sultan of Turkey has made
another specific promise to pay those
American missionary claims, this
time within ninety days. Secretary
Hay has decided that Minister Straus
shall not return to Constantinople
until those CLAIMS are paid, and has
instructed Mr. Griscon, who is in
charge of the American legation in
that city, to impress it upon the Sui
tans mind that the money must be
paid within the specified time. The
Sultan wished his promise kept Sc
cret, owing to numerous European
claims of a similar nature. and this
information was not obtained from
the Department of State, but from
those more directly interested in the
payment of tho claims.

The memory of man is proven.
bially short, but Democratic mem.
ory must be the shortest of the
whole bunch. Only a little more
than three years ago, Hon. Adlai 1.
Stevenson was Vice President, and
as such presiding officer of the Sen
ate, and was being blackguarded and
abused by the silver Senators and
the silver press for having sold out
the interest of silver, which he pro-
fessed to believe in, because he would
not do as the silverites desired him
to do. Whether Mr.. Stevenson de-
served that abuse is neither here
nor there. WHAT attention is cal
led to is that the same men who
abused HIM then have again nomi-
mated him for Vice. President. Mr.
Stevenson is personally liked in
Washington, but nobody believes,
regardless of political opinion, that
he has strengthened the ticket by a
single vote. Mr.. Bryan is the whole
thing and no votes will be cast for
Bryan and Stevenson by anyone ex-
cept those who are willing to endorse
and swallow Organism and all that
the term implies, just as Mr.. Bryan
forced the Kansas City Convention
