"CYRUS'' WRITES
OF NATIONAL POLITICS.

Millville, N. j.. Feb, 9. 1904.
Dear Pioneer :"-This will be a
great year in the history of the Re-
publican party, and in some respects
one OF the most important in the his
tory OF the country. The people will
be called upon to decide whether the
policy which has prevailed since the
close of the Rebellion, and which has
been unbroken save by the Cleveland
frisco, shall be continued. or whether
it shall be superseded by the vacillat-
ing and foolish lack of policy Of the
odos and ends tnat make up what is
known as Democracy.
cannot conceive it possible tha4
the suicidal action of '92 will be re-
peated, Republicanism has done too
much for the prosperity of the Repub-
lie to be set aside, and no change is
probable. With Roosevelt as our
candidate for President, and Stokes as
our candidate for Governor what
shaking up New Jersey will have. It
will be one of the most vigorous
campaigns everawaged in the State.
The freight yard of the W. J. r. r,
IN this city appears to be hoodooed for
railroad men. Several terrible acci-
dents have occurred there, the last
being the fatal accident by which
brakeman John Donnelly lost his life.
Well, the ground hog having had
ample opportunity to see his shadow
on the I'd inst, I suppose we are in
for several more weeks of the severe
winter weather. Sorry for it.
The new Millville Bottle Works,
under the management of James E.
Mitchell. is prospering SO greatly
that it is rumored another factor
will be erected in the Spring.
While leading horse Wilbert Hates
had his foot severely crushed by the
animal stepping upon it.
The water fight shows no signs of
abatement, and now that it has got
into the Courts, there is no telling
what the outcome will be.
The next session of the West Jersey
Presbytery will be held in the First
Presbyterian Church, in this city, in
April.
The officers continue to pick up
quite number of drunks. The usual
remedies are applied, $4.25 or four
days in the county Jail.
The Lutheran congregation having
definitely decided to build a new

ing funds for the purpose, under the
energetic leadership Of the popular

HONOR THE NOBLE
TEA BURNERS.
written for The "Pioneer. u


II invited to tea party where "the
cup that cheers but not inebriates''
would not be proffered, but active SER
vice in the form of burning an in
Vulnerable quantity of tea leaves
would be in order. what would you
do? And particularly if assisting on
such an occasion should endanger your
life and property, what would you do ?
There was such party once in our
cohnty--on Thursday, December %,
1774-and forty brave men attended it ;
we regret that only twenty three of
their names have been preserved:
Ebenezer Elmer, Timothy Elmer.
James Ewing, Thomas Ewing, Joel
Fithian, Philip v. Fithian. Lewis
Howell Richard Howell, James Hunt.
John Hunt, Andrew Hunter, Jr., Joel
Miller. Alexander Moore, Jr.. Ephraim
Newcomb Silas Newcomb, Clarence
Parvin. David Pierson. Stephen Pier
son, Henry Seeley. Josiah Seeley,
Abraham Sheppard, Harry Stacks,
Silas Whitecar.
Perhaps many others were invited
to attend the party and uerade
as Indians, but decline ed the pleasure
and excitement of preparing, and par
ticlpating in, the great fragrant bon
fire OF that December night. unwilling
to incur the peril of England's 8 wrath.
We extol the brave men who would
not submit to England's unjust acts
and who showed their opposition by
repairing to the store house at Green
wich and seizing the chests of tea that
had been secretly landed from the
brig Greyhound. They carried
them to Market Square (now Market
Lane) where they started and enjoyed
such a bonfire as our State has never
had repeated
The descendants of these heroes, and
all other people interested in COM
memorating historic events, are corr
daily invited to give proof of their
interest in the forty men of our great
Tea Party, and evidence of their pa
triotism by aiding to secure sub
stantial memorial. to be placed where
the tea burning occurred and that
may stand az. long as the world en-
dures. silently, eloquently speaking of
the courage of Jerseymen who risked
their lives for 'sthe cause of liberty'
just as truly as did the patriotics of
Massachusetts when, at their Tea
Party, they consigned the tea to the
waters of Boston Harbor in 1773.
How all the world honors the tea
throwers! Let equal honor be given
to our tea burners! And it will be
given. because the preparations for
the monument in their memory, and
its ultimate erection. being brought
to the notice of the public by means
of the press, Our Cumberland county
men of valor will no longer have
withheld from the the honor, and
reputation SO justly their due.
