In 1880 Charles x of France signed
an ordinance by which the liberty
of the periodical press was suspend
ed. The proprietors and editors of
the chief opposition papers consulted
the most eminent lawyers, who gave
their opinion that the ordinance was
not legal, and ought not to be sub
mitted to. Forty four conductors of
newspapers signed a protest in which
they declared their intention to
resist the ordinance. The govern
ment said: "This protest hath this
day lost that character of legality
which commands obedience. We
resist it. There was occasionally a
cry in the streets of "Long live the
Charter Down with the ministersl"
The next day a more omirous cry
went forth. "Up with Liberty |

of the four principal newspapers to

Charles X.-Knight's England.
AT New York in 1874 a newspaper

THE VILLAGE CHOIR

Since first my infant years were past
TO one thing l aspire.
That l may sit in pride at last
Within that village choir.
Oh bliss untold If I might share
With those fair sopranos,
To aid from honofed seat up there /,
Music's agonizing throes.
Oh could I only find the way
Into our village choir,
I'd falter not, no, night nor day.
My heart is all on fire.
They thrill and quiver, shrek and yol
One set Of notes sing all.
For which is which, no ear can tell
They come at any call.
The water motor puffs and churns-
The organ roars the higher.
OH will the wheel OF fortune turn
To put one in the choir
I'll sing solo, yes indeed,
Morning and night and )on.
I'll never stop, not cen to feed
I'll sing from moon to moon.
Throw wide the door and let me inl

In that event she would work her

say four miles or more, and practi.
cally the only money to work the
road would be from few farmers
along the road. The road has been
worked for many years in lbout the
same way each year and observation
does not disclose that it is any wider
or that it has improved. Matamoras
furnishes considerable tax towards
its maintenance, now take that away
and leave only the taxes from the
farms along it to keep it in repair
and its condition can be easily fore.
seen. The road in Milford township
would be perhaps a fair illustration.
The Port Jervis road introduces
strangers to the valley, over it comes
all our supplies, it is our artery to
reach the railroad It should be
excellent in all respects and should
be made permanently good. Travel
on it increases and the additional
servitude imposed brings greater
necessity for better and more lasting
work. This matter should arrest
the attention of the citizens of this
town and also people down the
valley. 1t may be very near prob
lem how to maintain this road in
suitable condition. If there is any
thing in the new road law which
may furnish a solution the proper
parties should promptly set the
machinery in motion to obtain the
benefit If Matamoras incorporates
the question Of this road will be one

A oaustio Editorial

Under the caption "Gov. Penny
packers self betrayal, the Phila
delphia Press says: 1--WE are pro-
foundly grieved, for Governor
Pennypacker's own sake, that he
has made the irretrievable mistake
of signing the Grady-Salus libel bill
and adding to that wrong the still
greater folly of an unspenkably
shallow, silly and wrong headed
message Of attempted justification
In one sense his actis not a surprise.
His feelings have long been known.
He has been weak enough to expose
his wounds openly to all the world,
His fostering sores have been all too
plain. But we could not believe
that he would permit his personal
grievance TO blind him to all other
considerations so far as to betray
him into a grave public wrong, into
open disregard of solemn constitu-
tional obligations, not unworthy
methods and artifices and into dis
engenuous extenuation which in
many parts is so puerile as to be
beneath contempt
This vigorous language from a
paper which urged him as a candi-
date because Of his ability, sterling
sense Of uprightness and justice and
freedom from bias or prejudice and
his answering adherance to prin-
ciples of right. It was SAID he could
not be swerved from duty by the
gang behind behind him and which
procured his domination. He was a
rara avis. His was a case where
the stream was higher than its
source and could not be polluted,
II now says "this measure, now
made law, had double source and
a double import. The governor
wanted it in tho hope of escaping
from the inesoapable cartoons. The
Gang wanted it in the hope of muz

Gang played on the governors

in Manchuria and Japan is preparing
to fight. 1t is stated that the state
department is only waiting advice
from the president before protesting
vigorously against Russia's action.
Negotiations thus far have been ham,
pered by the inability of the United
States to act jointly with other powers
without violating its traditional
policy, but it now suggested that
some plan Of co operation with Japan

will have the effect Of convincing
Russia that England, Japan and the
United States are determined that
Russia shall evacuate Manehuria, as
proposed.

Forest Fires

Last Sunday evening about $50
fire started along the road near the
house OF Theodore Bosler in Dingman
which swept over all the woods lying
between the two roads and the Pin
chot and Gregory places. A large
force of men by backfiring succeeded
in keeping the fire from Boslers
buildings. No doubt the fire origi-
mated in sheer carelessness or perhaps
worse. During the past week the
whole territory lying on the head
waters of the Vandermark, Deep
Brook and down nearly to the town
burned. Fire also swept over large
scope In Dingman township burning
all the woods between the road from
Quinns to Sawkill and the turnpike,
including lands of w. Il. Struble on
which there were a number of ties
cut, the Quinn lands, Jas. Buist's
woods, Sheriff Vandermark's place
destroying his fences as also fences of
Chas. Stichler, crossing the turnpike
and burning over a part of the wood
land of John G. Beck. Just at this
season the fire is particularly deadly
to young timber. The bark is loose
and fire is sure death. Thousands
of acres in this country will be entire
ly denuded of growth. There were
many tracts where the young timber
was starting nicely which will now
be entirely barren.
