FREELAND, PA., NOVEMBER 11,1897. In all the eulogies of the late Henry George which have appeared since his death, one remarkable achievement of the man has been overlooked. To Mr. George belongs the credit of giving the voters of nearly every state in the union the privilege of casting a secret ballot. While touring Australia he investigated the country's system of voting, and was so impressed with it that he immedia tely began the agitation in the United States for the adoption of the Australian secret system, lie toiled and talked for it and his work lias given the voters of many states the right to vote as they desire. In Pennsylvania and a few other boss-ridden commonwealths the method is not the Australian system, nor even a good imitation, but this is not the fault of Ilenry George. lie ad vocated a system of absolute secrecy, before and during and after the casting of the ballot, but this did not suit the Republican machine here and Pennsyl vanians are deprived of the benefits of liis great work in behalf of the voters of America. From ail directions come complaints about the tremendous rise in the price of almost everything, excepting the only article that more than half of our people have to sell—their labor. An expert says of the effect of the Dingley tariff upon the price of men's clothes: "A suit of clothes that could he bought last year for sls cannot be duplicated now under S2O and that fact is/ an annoyance to dealers and customers alike. With men of ample means, who have their clothes made by fashionable tailors, $5 or $lO advance on a suit is hardly notic ed. and if noticed evokes no complaint. It is very different, however, with those who have to be careful in their expendi tures, for to this class $5 represents a considerable sum. The number of men 1 who buy sls and S2O suits is largely in excess of those who pay tailors S4O to SSO for a suit, and it is from the poor and the middle class that the kick against the Dingley tariff is sure to come.'* It is the opinion of some of the news- \ papers that the Hon. John Lcisonring is out of the race for governor because j Luzerne county, in which he lives, went Democratic. It is not necessary to look 1 at it in that way. A rule of that kind 1 would settle a good many other candi dates as well. As a matter of fact, i most of the Republican candidates for i governor since the organization of the ! party have been taken from counties j that wore Democratic. Mr. Leisonring I is no more responsible for Luzerne county going Democratic than Congress man Connell is for the narrow escape in Lackawanna. Roth were the victims of a state situation which they did not create and could not have prevented.— J Viiladelph in Pre AS. One of the brightest of our Schuylkill county exchanges, the Girardsvilie Leader, gave its election news last week in the following paragraph: "Election day lias been her#, just the same as it was all over the country —election day for the Democrats and that party only. The result is but too well known, although it was not expected, not even by the Democrats themselves. The agreeable surprise is theirs, it belongs to them and the G. (). J'. helped to make it as pleasant as possible. We propose not to give excuses for the Republican flunk, they are too numerous to mention. Neither do we propose to give the vote, the Republicans care not to see it and the Democrats know it by heart. We are disgusted." The army of pensioners still steadily grows in numbers, notwithstanding the assertion of several commissioners of pensions that it had reached high water mark and was about to start on the down grade. The annual report of Commissioner Evans shows that there were r>,MO more names on the roils on Anne 30, 1807, than there were one year before, notwithstanding the dropping, during tire fiscal year for death and other causes of 41,122 names. There were 970,011 name* on the roll at the close of the last fiscal year, and, unless death claims an unusually large number, it is j probable, that the million mark will be passed before another year.

He stepped Into a restaurant. The waiter bent his head, And listened while his customer In dulcet accents said: "If yon have nice, fresh oysters here. Some that are really good, Not those packed in tin cans, you know, But those brought here in wood. " Just take about a half a pint, Not too fat nor too thin, And get a freshly scoured pan. And gently drop them In. " Then add a little butter, tco— ' Not oleomargarine— And then pour in some real cow's milk. With just a bit of cream. " Next place the pan upon a fire Of bright and burning oil, And watch It very carefully Till It begins to boll.

She looks mighty slick to-night, But. great Scott! you ought to see her In the morning!" —Denver Post. The Hidden Side.
