It is usual for persons who de light in finding fault and trying to kick up a row in any organization to which they belong, to talk mysteriously and with bated breath about the enormous iniquities of "The Ring." But if called upon to describe the bugaboo so that anybody could recognize it, they would have to draw very liberally upon their imagination. There are always people who are by nature insubordinate. You will find them in churches, in politics, in lodges and everywhere else that organization exists. They want to tear down instead of build up. They are envious, and love to at tribute bad motives to everybody. They do not care to take hold and help push things along themselves, but take great pleasure in standing with their arms folded sneering and criticising those who are tug ging away in the harness. In every organization there are always some persons who take a greater interest in it than others. They naturally go ahead and do what they think ought, to be done for its welfare and success, and because of their energy and zeal they come to be looked upon by others who are interested in the success of the organization as lead ers, and their opinions are ac counted of more value than the opinions of those who take little or no interest. These are denominat ed by the drones and kickers as "The Ring." If you want to improve an or ganization—if you are interested in its welfare—get into it, and give it the benefit of your advice and council. To stand aloof and howl like a coyote only makes you ridi culous. "All the world loves a lover," and all the world feels like kicking a kicker. We hear much of political rings, but very little that is rational— very little that is not dictated by revenge, wounded vanity, or a chronic disposition to refuse to be anything unless you can be the "whole thing." Like Cassius, these fellows "will not follow any thing that other men begin," and they will not begin anything but a row. A political organization in any civil division in which the popular vote is used to determine issues, must be composed of a majority of the voters, or it cannot succeed. Those who take the most active and intelligent interest, who dis play the most zeal for the success of their party —naturally come to be regarded as leaders. Such has ever been the case since man has kept a record of events, and such will continue to be the rule till the end of time. If leaders become corrupt and selfish, and it is ap parent that they are looking more to their own than to their party's welfare, the rank and file of the organization will soon lose confi dence in them, and their influence will die—as it should. New lead ers will then arise spontaneously, but thej r will never come from the ranks of the chronic fault finder, whose business it is to destroy, and not to build. Loaders must be of the constructive, and not of the destructive, temperament. Every Republican, and every Democrat, who takes an interest in his party, is a member of the organization. Those who oppose it call the active list, or workers, the ring, and point to it as a diabolical thing. The oldest man living cannot remember when the disgruntled ones of his party did not talk about "The Ring," and if he should live a thousand years longer he will continue to hear the same thing. No considerable body of men can work together successfully without organization. If the Republican party had no organization in the county, State or Nation, the Demo- I crats would whip us out of our boots every time. Without organ ization an army would be a help less mob, in more danger from it self than from the enemy. With out organization a church is in capable of aggressive work in the cause of right. Without organiza tion no large business enterprise can succeed, and without organiza tion Labor cannot maintain its rights and keep up a just and eqitable standard of wages. Those who are too ill condition ed, too indolent or too timid to take hold and be an active and earnest worker in any of these organizations, are always the ones who try to tear them down. They think it is their peculiar duty in life to snarl and blubber and have conniption fits about a purely imaginary "Ring," while if you would place in the hands of any of these fellows the sceptre of authority, you would find them to be the most arbitrary and tyrannical of masters. It is an old and well established truth, that he who will not trust others cannot be trusted. —Hon. W. O. Smith in Puxsutawney Spirit. "Some years ago while at Martinsburg, W. Va., I was taken with cholera morbus which was followed by diarrhoea. The doctor's medicine did me no good. 1 was advised to get a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I did, and it cured me sound and well—G. A. Morris, Embreeville, Pa. Sold by L. Taggart. Our Next Congressman. Raftsman's Journal. The readers of the "Journal" are aware of the fact that we are now in a new Congressional dis trict, created by the last Legisla ture, and composed of the counties of Centre, Clearfield, Cameron and McKean, and designated the Twenty-seventh Congressional dis trict. The vote in the new dis trict on Tuesday, November 5, indicates that the nominee of the Republican party of the district must be a positive protectionist and one who lias not been crippled by factional quarrels; a business man of broad guage and a man of unsullied reputation. Such a man is A. E. Patton. His devotion to Republican principles and his patriotic position on the leading public questions come to him by inheritance, as his father, the late Hon. John Patton, was a sincere, unwavering Republican, who led Republican forces to victory against the most formidable op position twice in a Democratic Con gressional district. While the young man of whom we write has never sought a nomination of any kind at the hands of his party, he has, nevertheless, been active in the support of every candidate ever nominated 011 the Republican ticket, in the county, district and State. While ho may have dif fered slightly with party leaders on questions of party policy, he never hesitated to give loyal sup port to the candidates nominated by the Republican party. Since he has reached his majority he has been a contributor to the campaign fund in the county as well as a financial supporter in the wider fields of the party's operations. Not one year alone has he contri buted to our county campaign fund, but every year for many years past his name has been re gularly placed at the head of the list of positive contributors. To the Public Allow me to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I can recommend it with the utmost confidence. It has done good work for me and will do the same for others. I had a very severe cough and cold and feared I would get pneumonia, but after taking the second dose of this medicine I felt better, three bottles of it cured my cold and the pains in my chest disappeared entirely. lam mo3t respectfully yours for health, Ralph S.

A Violent Attack ot Croup Cured. "Last winter an infant child of uiine had croup in a violent form," says Elder John W. Rogers, a Christian Evangelist, of Filley, Mo. "I gave her a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and in a short time all danger was past and the child recovered." This remedy not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the first symptons appear will preveut the attack. !t contains no opium or other harmful substance and may begiven as confidently to a baby as to an adult.

"While suffering from a bad ease of piles I consulted a physician who advised me to try a box of DeWitt's Witch Ilazcl Salve, "says G. F. Carter, Atlanta, Ga. "I procured a box and was entirely cured. De Witt's Witch Ilazcl Salve is a splendid cure for piles, giving relief instantly, and I heartly recommend it to all sufferers." Surgery is unnecessary to cure piles. De- Witt's Witch Hazel Salve will cure any case. Cuts, burns, bruises and all other wounds are also quickly cured by it. Be ware of counterfeits. R. C. Dodson.
