"a Tale of Two Cities.n

[From The New Orleans Times Democrat.
The most depressing feature in the result
of last Tuesday weeks election is the
triumph of the 'tringsters roosters and
rufians' in Philadelphia, a city which pre-
tends to be the "most thoroughly Ameri-
can" of all municipalities on the Continent
There, as in New York, the issue pre-
sented to the people was whether honesty
or thievery should prevail in the municipal
government. While the forces Of civic
Righteousness won all along the line in
Greater New York, the forces of corruption
triumphed in the City Of Brotherly Love.
New York is metropolitan and COS
mopolitian community. Its population is
made up-of all classes and all conditions OF
people brought together from every section
Of the United States and from many foreign
countries. The element Of foreign-born in
New York is greater than that of any
other large American city Philadelphia,
on the contrary, is supposed to be the
typical American city-a city in which the
foreign-born element is comparatively
small, and in which the native-born is
preponderatingly large. Philadelphia's pop
ulation is made up of persons born and
reared not only on American soil, but
within the confines of Pennsylvania and,
for the most part, within site of Independ-
ence Hall. Every prediction based upon
the theroies and teachings of sociologists
and political writers would have pointed to
the triumph of honesty in Philadelphia in
the campaign that has just closed; and yet
the result of the election demonstrates
that in this purely American city" civic
pride and civic honor are so smothered
that, even with Quayism and Ashbridge-
ism as issues, the people of that municipal
ity are unable (Which is bad enough) or
unwilling (which is infinitely worse) TO
throw off the yoke of the Machine and
secure government administered by the
people and for the people.
There is in the history of American poll
itics no infamy so scarlet as is the con-
dition with which Philadelphia is now
confronted. During the last thirty years
with the exception of one campaign-the
results of every municipal election have
demonstrated that the people Of Philadel
phia lack either the capacity or the desire
to wrest the government of that city from
the hands of plunderers, into whose grasp
it has fallen, and to lodge it with the peo-
pie, to whom it belongs. Political indiffer-
ence and political apathy decadence in
the spirit Of civic honor-has touched the
high-water mark in Philadelphia. 1t is
growing clearer and clearer that the people
of that city are paying the penalty for
corruption for the reason that they deserve
to pay it. 1t is evident that citizens there
prefer to be robbed, to be blackmailed, to
be jibbeted before the nation as COM
munity incapable of obtaining even spas
medically, honest administration in munich
pal government. Critics must conclude
that the public conscience of Philadelphia
is calloused and scared; that the life-spark
of civic honor has been all but extinguished

Cupid has again been at work, as Ralph
Boltz, the station agent, and Kesiah Tice
were recently married. Miss Tice is the
daughter Of Richard f. Tice, weIl-known
citizen OF this place.
Robert Joseph, who has been widower
for several years, was married to Mrs.
Bertha Mingin, a widow, last Saturday, Sti
inst. This event has been looked for for
some time.
A lecture was given in the Town Hall on
the 9Th inst. under the auspices of the
schools Of this place. The attendance was
rather small, although poorer entertain
ments have been better patronized. It is
doubtful if any more instructive lecture
have been given in this town. The subject
Bound to VIM, was very interesting and
well delivered by Prof. Houck, Assistants

sylvania. Proceeds were for the benefit Of
the school library.

Asher Jones, who has been working at

One OF the greatest surprises of late was
the way Monroe township Topped around
on election. Who would have thought that
the 158 majority Of one year ago for
Mckinley and 200 for Buck would have
been wiped out and that Seymour would
receive 20 majority and Avis only SO?
But such was the case No doubt some of
the leaders felt downcast over the result, as
they looked for an old-time victory here.
But no one can tell how the vote here is
going to be. Some say that the slump was
the result of poor leadership, but some
others think it was more on account of the
unpopularity Of the candidate, as Murphy's
name failed to create any enthusiasm here.
We think Monroe is the banner township,
as it was the only Republican one that
went Democratic, so we say, A Il hats off to
| Monroe. Had all other sections done as
well another story could have been told
or, in other words, Seymour, the peoples
candidate, would be the next Governor.

The reader of this paper viii be pleased to
learn that there is at least one hundred diseases
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being constitii-
tional disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The proprie-
tors have so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testi

The Freehold Transcript, the Long
Branch Record and the Red Bank Register
unite in the assertion that Monmouth Co.
was carried by the Republicans through
the buying of votes, openly conducted.
The Transcript says that the result of the
election was zone which the party with the
most money can buy almost any year, y
and then asserts that one-third or more Of
the votes of the county are purchasable.

Heretofore the price paid has been 3d.
Gloucester county is at an expense Of
over $1,000 per year for maintaining her
insane in the Asylum, and if the Solici-
tor of the Mercer Board is correct in his
Interpretation of the law, one-third of the

AN OLD PLATE INVENTOR.
A Worker Under Dnguerre still Liy-
Ing in st. Louis.
FrOm the Chicago Times-Heraid)

(From the Chicago Itmes-Hcraid.)
At the advanced age of eighty-One years
there is now living in St Louis a man
who assisted in the launching of one of
the greatest inventions Of the century
just ended.
His name is August Brassart, his pro-
fessou that of silversmith, and it was he
who made the plate on which Daguerre,
the father of photography. made the
first successful photograph.
Il learned my trade of silversmith
from my father, said Dir. Brassart, who,
though a Frenchman by birth has been
a citizen of the United States since 1854
and worked in Paris under NJ Gauday
silversmith to King Louis Philippe.
"One day Louis Jacques Naude Da-
Suerre, painter and physician. who had
been attracting attention through his eff
forts to produce pictures by sunlight
came to see my master. in the hone of
securing a plate sufficiently comDressed to
prevent the copper from drawing through
NJ. Gauday cOntended that this was not
possible, but permitted me to make the
trial
BY exercise of the greatest care sic
ceeded in hammerlng out a plate thor
ouShly solid and FURNISHED and entirely
free from perforatiouS. Daguerre tested
the plate and found 1t thoroughly salts
factory, made his first photograph and
received 5000 francs a year for disclos-
ing his secret process. In honor of the
inventor the French academy called the
new pictures Daguerreotypes
During his life Daguerre always rec
ognized my share in the discovery, and
once SAID TO me: Young man. we have
solved the problem together, and together
we will share the glory. We shall now
make without brush pictures which, for
1dellty to originals, the greatest painters
IN france could not hope TO duplicate
This prediction has been realized. and

from modest beginnings into. one of the
greatest of all factors for the dissemin-
