About ms ludicrous twisting of
the moral sense as one is likely to
come across, WAS that Of Jersey City
liquor seller, who in recent inter
view favored law to permit the sell
ing of liquor during a part of Sunday,
and in justification of it, said AT
present the bartenders have to work
IN many cases nearly all day Sunday.
and they have no time to attend to
deyotions. II law was passed to al.
low the saloons to do business part of
Sundays the saloons would be shut
tight the rest of Sunday, and the bar
tenders would have some time for
themselves and be able to attend
church !" It's too bad TINT these pious
bartendcrS are not able to attend to
their "deyotions" owing to being en-.
gagged all day in violating the statute
law OF the State; but we fear that if
they wait for the "half holiday" until
they are permitted by law to sell whis-
key and beer half of each Sunday,
they will wait n long time. 1t would
he far better both for their piety and
the moral interests of the people il
they would condescend to obey the
law rs it is. Then they would have 4
whole day of rest, and plenty of tim,
to attend to their devotions.

Owing to the garbled reports of
the Philadelphia Beeord and other
city papers, concerning license law
passed by the New Jersey Legislature,
there exists in this Community d gen
eral misrepresentation as to its applica-
ton. We give the first few lines Of
the act, which shows that it does not
apply to this city:
AN ACT concerning the granting Of
licenses to Inns and Tayerns, and for
the snle Of SpirituoHa, Vinoaa, Malt
and Brewed Liquors IN cities of the
third and fourth class in this State.
Be it enacted by the Senate and
general Assembly of the State Of Now
Jersey:
Hereafter, in all cities Of the third
and fourth class in this State, the
licenses to keep Inns and Taycrns, OF
to sell Spirituons Vinous, Malt on
Brewed Liquors, shall be granted by
| the Court of Common Pleas of the
county In which such city is located,
and the money received for all such
licenses. shall be paid over by the
collector of such county to the trca-
surer, collector or other proper finan-
cial officer of the city in which such
licenses shall be granted provided,
however, that this act shall not apply
to any city or cities, where the power
to grant such licenses Is now vested IN
Excise Boards or Excise Commissions,
or any such city having a population
exceeding twenty-five thousand.

THE GRIP EPIDEMIC.
The Disease More Prevalent than Ever and
Quite as Fatal. Tie Rest Treatment.

Quite as Fatal. Tile Rest Treatment.
The grip has surprised the doc
tors and health authorities this season
by its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody
it is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many cases either 4 fatal onset OF
pneumonia, or a complete breakdown
of health and strength, is apt TO fol
low an attack Of grip.
The wi course for all is preyen-
ton. By wearing a Benson's Porous
Piaste,, on the chest and back you
protect the lungs from cold and chill
and with ordinary carel you are
safe from grip.
For those who are already suffer
ing from grip, or from the usual win
ter coughs and colds, Benson's Plastsrs
are a sure and speedy relief and cure.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has issued orders that the Della
ware and Raritan Canal shall be kept
open ON Sundays. 1t is about time to
have the question decided whether
this corporation is above law. The
laws of this State forbid secular work
ON the first day of the week, and that
is right. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Co. should be made amenable to law
the same as an individual.

plainly two thirds OF their sales are at $40 to
