FROM THE FIRST WARD.

dance. L was, she replied with
flashing eyes, "but il that Peter
Thompson thinks that am going 10
sit here and see him squeeze that
freckled faced wilkins girls hands all
the evening, he'll be mistaken, dia-
mond or no diamond.
Under the gold standard, free silver
is dead issue. The Democrats must
necessarily seek live issue, and they
may find it in Imperialism and
TRUSTS. -
Bryan is well advertised from New
York to San Francisco, and is shaping
his course for some ultimate object.
Nobody doubts now but that he will
be the candidate again in 1900. Every
body knows the country is now in II
tiourishing condition. Even the Wage
Worker acknowledges that. Every
body here in our own town has em-
ployment. Such sentiments are entire
ly in accord with the opinions repeat
eddy set forth in this column.
Do the people want these good and
prosperous times to continue, or are
they willing to run the risk of change
in the administration?
Think we'll, gentlemen, before cast
ing your ballot.
The big snow storm of Inst week
pounced down upon us without warn
ing even from the weather man. 1t
seems strange that a twenty-four hour
storm should or could steal in upon us
without the weather man at least giving
| hint of it, and it seems to be n aues-
tion whether these weather bureaus
are of any benefit to the general public
or not, il they cannot locate snow
storm of twenty-four hours duration,
twenty -four hours in advance, and they
are certainly not in line with this pro.
gressiye country.
A Philadelphia has gotten himself
entangled in the meshos of the law by
impersonating juror. II some of the
men who get into the jury box could
be impersonated by somebody of intel
ligenee, Justice would be distinct
gamer.
The new addition to the machine
shop at the Lambertville Rubber Com
pany's works is about furnished.
The First Ward election board will
meet on Tuesday, April 3rd, at P. NJ,
at the Hibernia House, and remain in
session until o'clock in the evening,
to revise aud correct the register.
There is no house toulouse canvass
for our charter elections.
Houses are very scarce in tho First
Ward this Spring. There is not
vacant house in the ward, to our know
ledge, but plenty of demand for them.
Twenty-Five houses could find i'm
mediate tenants now if they were to he
had.
In some walks of life it il almost
treason to show any symptoms of
honesty. For instance, if you were
elerking in grocery, and nice old
country lady was to ask you if the
mnckerel were fresh, ii would cost
you Your job to confess TINT they were
batch held over from last season; or,
il you were student in physicians
office and this same old lady were to
ask you confidentially whether aqua
pura was n very expensive drug, you
would lose your professional caste il
you confessed TO the truth. You would
hardly dare to let your mouth water in
her presence, lest this act might sug-
gest to her innocent mind tho nature
of the drug and injure the druggist 8
profit. If you bought fresh eggs from
this same old innocent lady, they might
| very easily be three or four weeks old
and half of them duck eggs, for decep-
ton is disease which very few Of MS
escape while doing business in the
open market or even selling lemonade
at church fair. True, we all believe
in honest men, but like our gods, they
are located long way off. The pessi
mist locates his honest mon away back
in the past, while tho optimist has faith
in the future producing such strange
freak. But all men in the present
tense are looked upon with certain
amount Of uncertainty, or even suspic-
ion. That is, we accept them as strict
ly honest and upright men, but keep
one eye on them to guard against any
mental alteration or loss Of power at a
critical moment. Nevertheless, when
n man has too much slack in his jib
sail, and too broad a sweep in his stern
sheet, which often occurs to the man
who wears but single suspender to
hold up the dignity of his rear admir-
atty, it gives him u rakish appearance
from stem to stern, as they say about
pirate ship in Chinese waters.
