ELI. A Fool and His Money. [Frank Fayant in "Kuccosa Magazine."] The credulity of a multitude of more or less thrifty people, who, in their mania for money, are ready to believe that they can amass fortunes over night, makes them the easy prey of a swarui of para sites who infest the financial districts. The gospel of the parasites, who build air castles for their victims and real cast les for tnemsel ves, is terse: I. "A fool is born every minute." 11. "A fool and his money are soon parted." Posing as bankers and brokers, the fin ancial parasites scour the country for the fools and then exercise their nimble wits in devising schemes to accomplish the partition. How many millions of dollars are parted from the fools every year mav be conjectured from the millions of dol lars spent by the pseudo-financiers in ail vertising. The bulk of the financial ad vertising in the leading newspapers of the country is intended for the fools. Another index of the richness of the har vest of parting money from the fools is the occasional exposure of some parti cularly glaring and bungled imposture, when the calculable "swag" runs into the hundreds of thousMids, if not into the millions. But these frauds are sel dom exposed, for the victims are usually as anxious as the victimizes to escape the limelight of publicity. Most men prefer to lose their money rather than hoar their neighbors quote from tho parasites' gospel, "A fool and his money are soon parted." OASTOniA. Bears ih« J* The Kind You Have Always Bought This afternoon the last judicial confer ence will be held at the I leadens House, i this city, when strong effort will !>e made to come to an understanding.

EBPEECH OF ACCEPTANC OF LEWIS EMERY, JR. (Continued from pago 2.) Volefß wITi [>: mlse oT office and the use of office fc barter and Kale. At every turr from Simon Cameron's burglary of public office down to the present day, li s state and the public have been the . ictims of political cor ruption and c r per ate greed. Recent rove! lions show conditions In the Penary! aaia railroad calculated to open thee of tiio blind. The Pennsylvania i fflclal who failed to get his share of tl • bribe money or sto k ! distributed by oal companies for spe cial favors, a] ars to have been an exception. While your ;tate Machine Is con trolled by corp< ations, while your leg- [ islature la con. oiled by your machine, and Its com in tees are organized In the interests o the corporations, it la no wonder th. t Labor's demauds go unheeded; it is no wonder that the farmers' Interests are ignored and their petitions refus« I; it ts no wonder that taxation is unequal or that trolleys are refused th right to carry freight and express, or Lhat adequate provision for the constru tion of publio highways Is not made, 01 that an enormous sur plus is piled u In the treasury, to be used secretly or private enterprises and to finam corporation schemes. The wonder i that intelligent men have so long permitted these conditions to exist, and tl.\t they have year after year continued the Machine In power. No fair-mind d man has objection to wealth honestly acquired and legiti mately used. Big corporations are necessary and . ven inevitable, In this age; but the orporation in politics must go. Th corporation must be brought under the law, and this can be done only through an administra tion and a legislature not in partner ship with the o fenders. The bead-roll of iniquity Is 40 years long, and they ask us to extend it by continuing the Gang In power. This Gang, under th J leadership of Penrose, Induced all bu a few of the Pennsyl vania delegate n In congress to agree to antagonize President Roosevelt's plan to put a a op to railroad rate dis crimination; It compelled its tools in the legislature of 1006 to rescind the resolution en<" using the president's policy, and It i ossed the late Republi can state conv» ntlon, and compelled it not only to nai ie a dictated ticket, but to elect as st< to chairman Penrose's private secret; ry, who had formerly been private • scretary to Quay, and who was and i part and parcel of the discredited Ma hine. Reform should be entrusted to the true friends of reform. Following the example of out- revolutionary fathers, the people of the state of Pennsylvania are in revolt against tyranny and wrong, and they have made their dec laration of ind pendence. Declaration of Independence. When in the course of political events it becoi. es necessary for a peo ple to sever the bonds which have united them to a tyrannical oligarchy, and declare th mselves free and inde pendent, it is ii ting that they set forth the reason for heir action. We, there fore, the people of Pennsylvania, de clare ourselve free of allegiance to the Gang organization for the follow ing reasons: They have denied us government the powers of which have been derived from the com nt of the people, and they have ruled In defiance of just pop ular sentiment Experience has shown that, with all mankind, the »eople of Pennsylvania have been mor disposed to suffer while evils were suiferable than to right themselves by abolishing the source of their wrongs; but when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing Invariably the nine corrupt object, has evinced a desi n to reduce the people under an abs< >ite despotism of boss rule, it is the! right, It is their duty, to throw off uch yoke and provide safeguards for heir future security. The history of the Cameron, Quay and Penrose d> lasty is a history of re peated injuries and usurpations, among which appears no solitary fact to con tradict the uni orra iniquity of its di rect object to atablish a corrupt oli garchy In the rtate. To prove this, let facts be submi ted to a candid public. They have refi ;ed their assent to laws the most whol some and necessary to the public good; they have forbidden their legislative tools to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, and they have refused to enforce laws already passed They have i fused to pass laws for the accommodation of the people, un less the people would relinquish some right to representation, as was shown when the iron, coal and oil producers of the state sought release from intol erable conditions through the passage of just laws. They have denied us appropriations for hospitals and other public charities unless in return they received support for their rotten legislation. They have called the legislature to gether in extraordinary session, at great expense : nd under duress of fear of popular wr: ?h, to undo in part the villainous legi lation which they had passed in definice of public protest. They have i mlshed honest legisla tors repeatedly lor opposing with man ly firmness their usurpation of the rights of the people. They have refused for a long time, In violation of their oaths, and in de fiance of the constitution, to re-distrlct the state. They have refused to comply with the mandate of the constitution which declares that the general assembly fhall (not may but shall) enforce the provisions of (he 17th article against rebates and discrimination. They have refused to permit honest Inen to be chosen for office and have oaused others to be elected. They have obstructed the adminis tration of jus ice by protecting evil doers, by pac! ing juries and by ad journing cases from court to court for the purpose of fatiguing the people Into acquiescence in the miscarriage of jus tice. They have i lfluenced officers of the law to be lax in the discharge of their duties; by control of nominating con ventions, and by exercise of the ap pointive power they have made Judges dependent upo i their will. They have ei ;cted a multitude of new offices In order to provide places for their henchmc I and eat out the sub stance of the eople. They have used the power of he state to prevent the Imprisonment of convicted felons. 1 They have 'riven public officials to ruin and sulcid 1 by forcing them to rob the people for the use of the Gang. They have combined to subject us to the jurisdiction of lawless corporations fend to the hardships and oppression of I corporate rule. | They have ignored our most valuable laws and established In lawlessness an j arbitrary government by t>os>w. They ha\e made a mockery of repre sentative government and arrogated to themselves the power to legislate for lis in all classes whatsoever. They have broken up our peaceful assemblies, invaded our conventions \vith an army of toughs and overridden a constitutional right cf peaceable as tern bly for lawful purposes. They have Incited domestic, riots and refused us lr redr?ss.% 1 They have Imposed taxation without nnr consent and have refused to equal ize the imposts of Internal revenue. ! They have changed proposed legisla tion so as to render it harmless to themselves and their creatures. I They have plundered our state, loot : rd our citie:?, and robbed the people of their rights?, j They have made the state treasury a personal and political a-set of the Ma i chine, and have used the state funds to promote private ends. They have perverted the functions of government from subserving the pub lic weal to fostering the interests of Individuals. They have established themselves in headquarters at the state capital, and with an audacity scarcely paralleled In the history of popular government they have arbitrarily dictated legislation Und have slated state, county and judi cial nominations sometimes years in advance. They have established an electoral Bystem whereby in almost open market men have been bought and sold, and they have fought every honest attempt to prohibit or restrain this execrable commerce in the honor of the voter. To these crimes against the liberties of the people they have added the base ness of hypocrisy. At every stage of the oppressions We have petitioned for redress, and our repeated petitions 1. .ve been answered by repeated injuries. A machine whose character Is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the representa tive of an honest political party. Nor have we, as Independent freemen, Republicans and Democrats, been want.- Irg In the spit It to warn them from time to time of the wrath which our accumulating wrongs would bring upon them. We have reminded them of our cir cumstances and c onditions as the vic tims of an Infamous conspiracy be tween political corruption and corpo rate greed. We have warned them against the attempt of their legislature to Inflict unwarrantable injuries; and we now appeal to the native integrity of a common people to disavow the hsurpation of this infamous oligarchy, that by a free election we may estab lish the people in power. All honest men will acquiesce In the necessity for the assertion of popular rights and renunciation of all allegiance and sub jection to a base organization which masquerades under the name of a great and honored party. They have been deaf to the voice of Justice; they have profaned the halls If legislation; they have debauched the elections, they have stuffed the ballot boxes and prostituted honorable office to the most, degraded service, and they are at this very time trying to re-estab lish themselves in power under cover of a stolen cloak of respectability. A manly spirit bids us forever re nounce the enemies of society and for ever hold them in the deepest detesta tion. All political connections which may heretofore have subsisted between honest people and the government of corrupt pretenders are hereby dis solved. We. therefore, citizens of the com monwealth of Pennsylvania, in com mon cause united, do, by the authority of the people of the state, solemnly publish and declare that Pennsylvania Is by right and ought to be free and In dependent of Machine and corporate rule, and we do hereby sever all con nection with it, and we declare that allegiance thereto is totally dissolved.

President Roosevelt's conversion to the spelling-reform movement is not apt to cause any great alteration in the appear ance of written or printed language. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. President Roosevelt has exercised his executive authority frequently in an un usual manner, but rarely so needlessly as iu thus taking liberties with his mother tongue. From tlie Cleveland Leader. The greatest possible stimulus the at tempt could receive is the otliciai co operation of the President. Even with this help it is doubtful that more than a few of the new forms will be adopted generally and it will not be immediately, either. From the Pittsburg Press. Tuff, isn't it, to nave to spell like Kar negy just bekoz he has munuy. From the Chicago Record-Herald. If the President succeeds in overcom ing all the opposition this will certainly be his greatest achievement. Destroying or taming an octopus would be child's play by comparison. From the St. Louis Republic. A great many persons who have been' misspelling English words nearly all their lives have suddenly found out that they were reformers. From the Baltimore Sun. It is presumed that Mr. Roosevelt will henee-forth be "De-lited!" From the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Much of the spelling is done that way by persons who never heard of Brauder Matthews. From the Rochester Herald. Thedor Rozevelt haz cum out for speln refawrm. From the Baltimore News. If this is the way thru's spelt, What milst we do with Razfelt? From the Public Ledger. .

DEVIL FISH DRAGS MEN 18 MILES Tows Them Out to Sea, is Sworn Story; IT. S. Life Savers to the Rescue. Austin, Tex., Aug. 27.—A sworn statement signed by State Treasurer J. W. Robbius, Dr. Goodall Wooteen and several other prominent citizens of Austin, was received here today, giving an account of a desperate en counter which they and other men had with a huge devil fish at Aransas l'iis*, Tex., two days ago. They were dragged eighteen miles to sea by it. When the big fish was first seen one of the men in a gasoline launch threw a harpoon into it. The fish at once dragged the launch out into the open sea. Efforts to sever the rope holding the harpoon failed. A signal of distress was made, and the government life-saving crew went to the rescue. After a four hours' battle the fish was killed. It took thirty men to land it upon the beach. 11 was twenty-five feet long and eight feet across, and weigh ed nearly 3000 pounds. Thomas A.

Others, who have paid a State or County tax within two years may be able to swear in their votes, if their names have been overlooked and are not upon the voting list, but the voter who cast his first ballot last year haa no possible chance to do this. He has never paid a tax—his name will be upon no duplicate, consequently he cannot pay the necessary tax, that he is required to qualify has been paid in order to secure his vote. By fail ing to register he practically and effectively disfranchises himself. Dem ocrats should remember this and make it their business to know that the name of every young Democrat who voted on age in 1905, is upon the polling list of 1906.
