'U-know-Us.' -

Iou just bet we do and we voice the
sentiments of many other editors
when we say that when next year
rolls around we won't know YOU.
That is, Secretary Margerum and the
Interstate Fair. which sent out col
umns of locals pertaining to the fair.
for which the editor gets couple of
tickets, and i'll many cases this year
did not even get tickets. This, how.
ever, is only one Of the many cheek v
things that are sprung on the long
suffering editors in the shape of free
notices on money making schemes.
The end is III sight. at THE BEACON
office, Mt any rate. With the printer S
unions and other schemes starting up
every day, isn't it time for the news
paper fraternity of Hunterdon county
to form themselves into an organiza
ton for mutual protection =? What
think We, Brother Editors ?-Ldmbert-
tiUe Beacon.
With about column of free notices
for the Inter-S State Fair came the
same promise of other years; 'compli-
mentaries will be forwarded later, and
they were-much later. They ar
rived after the fair was over owing to
the fact that we had sent them bill
charging for the locals. For vile
shows, untidy grounds and loud, vul-
gar signs, worn by numbers OF visit
ors and procured on the grounds. the
fair excelled all other years.

Editor of LambertyiIle REcoRp:-

Editor OF LamDertVllle RECORD
Surely conditions are coming around
and all who are interested in civic
righteousness, should feel encouraged
by the gratifying reports from New
ark and Jersey City in especial. The
wholesale schemes on part of so called
Republicans, interested ? in the
GRABBING plans of Corporations,
and for reasons best known to them
selves, seem to be willing to sell out
their Party, to further said schemes.
The bold and determined actions of
supposed leaders in supporting a
Democrat in recent election of
Mayor, whose claims for ability were
in no wise superior to the Republican
nominee, should awaken us to at
least an unequalled determination to
prevent repetition of that offence
and further to mass ourselves in work
ing toward such independent action
as to secure the election of worthy
candidates. The PEOPLE may have
what they want, if they WANT IT hard
enough ? Let us strike while the
iron is Eot and put stop to such in
famous work.

WILLIAM LAuER.

William Lauer, the Republican can
didate for Member of Assembly for
this county, was born in Plumstead
Township. Bucks County, Pa, son
of Rev. William Lauer. Early in life
he moved with the family to Burllng
ton County New Jersey, where he
lived until the breaking ont of the
War of the Rebellion. He enlisted mt
the age of Company !, 23rd Regi-
ment Pennsylvania Volunteers, as n
private.
lie is perhaps justified in mention
ing with pride the record of his fam
lily as soldiers in the defence of his
country. His grandfather was Ser
geant in the Revolutionary War and
| his father riheman under Capt. Cor
yell in the War of 1912.
After serving some time as pri-
yate he was transferred to the Forage
and Transportation Department and at
the age of 81 years he was Master of
Transportation at Newport News,
Virginia. He served throughout the
entire War, and was not discharged
| until some six months after close of
| actual hostilities When discharged
he came to Milford, New Jersey, in
this county, and worked as IA common
laborer for the Pennsylvania Railroad
| Company. In 1857 he went to work
for Finney Case az spoke turner
in their factory at Stockton, New Jer
sey, and when they removed to Lam
bertville in 1868 he came with them
| and has since resided in this place.
After some time he was placed in
charge Of the shipping department
where he worked for twelve years,
and then Mr.. Finney having obtained
| the sole interest in the business, he
was given small interest in the bust
ness although he did not have one
dollar to invest and he afterwards
paid for the interest by his labor and
the profits. For fifteen years before
the death OF Mr.. Finney, Mr.. Lauer
occupied the position OF superintend-
ent and after his death had entire
charge until 1893, when he resigned
on account of his health, still retain
| ing, however, some interest in the
concern.
He has always been a Republican
and prides himself on having cast his
first vote for Abraham Lincoln. He
has never been a seeker OF Office and
perhaps would not be practical poll
tician. He has, however, when call
ed upon, as in the present case, &C.
cepted the nomination for office, as q
duty. He has never occupied any pol
itical office except that of member of
the School Board in which position
he served several years with credit
and to the satisfaction OF the general
public. Three years ago he consent
ed to be candidate for Mayor of the
city of Lambertville in opposition tc
the present incumbent, and although
the city has a large natural Demo
cratic majority, and no special effor
was made to elect him, the Democrat
ic candidate, who is now Mr.. Lauer'r
opponent for Member of the Assembly
was only elected by bare majority.
Mr.. Lauer is the kind of man wh'
ought to appeal to the Independent
voter as proper candidate for Assem-
bly, at this time, and if elected no one
will question the fact that he will
honestly and earnestly endeavor t.
serve his constituents, and he will
not only be above the power of an,
person to control his vote but he will
be aboye suspicion of being CONTROL
ed by any unworthy motive.

Dove of Peace Back in the Oruan Loft.

| After an absence of some months,
the white dove of peace is roosting
once more in the organ loft of the
Fiftieth Baptist Church, at Seventh
and Diamond streets.
]. Lincoln Hall is choirmaster of
the church. Since he took up the
position seven years ago the music
has been one of tho features of the
services.
The choir is now composed OF 800
mixed voices, and the choristers wore
uniform dress of black. The or
ganist has divided his singers into
five branches the soloists, the mems,
the women's and tho boys and girls
choirs.
Mr.. Halls first innovation was the
introduction of professional and re-
cessional. A prayer service is held in
the chapel prior to each regular Sun
day morning service. The choir as-
sembles in the chapel, aud at the close
of tho prayer begins to sing, and, en-.
tering the church by rear door,
mar ches up one aisle to the balcony
and gallery. During the occasional
the order of marching is reversed.
All this was very we'll, and the oil
ement, no matter what it thought
didn't say anything. Then Mr.. Hall
suggested banners. Conservative
ears pricked up ut once, but the Music
Committee sanctioned the suggestion.
and at the Christmas aud Easter ser-
vices the choristers marched, with
each carrying silken banner There
were rumblings from the start, but
not until three weeks ago did the
storm break.
The Rev. G. II. Thomas, pastor of
the church, accordingly called n
meeting of the congregation last
Monday week.
81 do not want to influence your
opinion" he said. "rhe church is
yours. Vote for the professional, or
against 1t, as it you please"
With these words he walked ont of
the meeting.
A vote was taken, aud only twenty
two out Of the 600 persons present
voted to discontinue the professional
and occasional. A second meeting
WAS held last Monday night, when
the Music Committee agreed to ex-
clude the banners from the Christmas
and Easter professions. This APP
peared to be satisfactory to everybody
aud the uniformed choir will go on.
At the meeting il was voted to make
the Rev. g. ii. Thomas pastor emcri-
tus, beginning November l.. On that
date Mr.. Thomas will conclude his
sixteenth year as pastor of the church
during which time, he has increased
the membership from go to nearly
300 He is 20 years old. The Rev.
Thomas j. Cross, his assistant, will
be continued as acting rastor.

70 THE PUBLIC:
''REPUBLIcAN.

TO THE PUBLTC:-
At the earnest solicitation of mum
Der of friends l have consented to al
low my name to be offered to our citi-
zens at the coming election, on an in
dependent ticket, as candidate to
fill the vacancy now existing in the
Board of Excise.
In accepting this nomination, | de-
sire to make public the conditions
under which | did so, feeling that
the voters, for this important position
should know, not only the man they
are asked to vote for, but they should
know the principals for which he
stands, so they can vote intelligently.
In my opinion eleven hotels and
two wholesale or bottling places as
they are variously called, are too
many for our city with its population
of five thousand inhabitants, aud if
elected | pledge myself not to favor
greater number than the above,
and further will say that, in my judg-
ment, the reduction of one of the
above number is demanded, ! refer to
the place recently opened at the S. l..
corner of Union and Swan streets, in
the First Ward, as | have always
thought this was not needed in any
way, and also for the reason that the
license WAS granted in the face of a
strenuous petition against it. signed
by large number of our best citizens
living in the neighborhood, many of
the signers being adjoining property
owners, and | therefore further
pledge myself that should | be called
on to act on license for this place |
would vote against il should similar
petition accompany the request for
such license.
Having made my position plain |
will leave the decision to the voters
feeling that the result will show
whether wide open city is desired
or whether more conservative man
agement is wanted.
Very respectfully yours,
WILLIAM II. BOVINE.
