THE RIGHT TO POSTPONE. Editor of the Press, Sir : I notice in tho report of the Congressional squabble among our Doinocratio mends, that Mr. Mien- nel Cassidy takes the ground that Northampton County having exer cised the right to name the date of the Conference, "had no right to adjourn it." Horo the eminent statesman from Carbon Co. tries to juggle with the English language. There could be no "adjournment" of a Confer enco which had not yet assembled Northampton meroly claimed the right to postpono for a day. the date she had first named. Havin the right to name the date, it was beyond doubt, her right to chang, it, if ample notice was given of it to all the jNirtiesto the Conference.

As those tickeU take some little time to prepare all who intend goitvr on this excursion should notify the Erie ticket office P. J., in advance, so as to have their tickets ready. BEGINNING A REFORM. It is an old saying that "charity should begin nt homo" and it is equally true that keeping ones own door yard clenn is ft goodfjeginning before railing at your neighbor. Tha Democratic papers in the state are in a fine fronzy, nnd gnashing their teeth over the short comings of the last Republican Legislature. They nre filled with objurgations and condemnations of the reckless nesses and extravagances of that body nnd their effects on the tax payers. How can this state of nf- fairs, assuming that it is true, be remedied? The answer is obvious, by sending men who will have an eye single to the people's interests. Each district is directly responsible for its representative, and to it he must first account. If ho has shown himself incompetent or untrust worthy, careless of the interests ,he was sent to represent, neglectful of tho highest welfnro of his constitu ents, nnd so of the peoplo generally, his district, in jnstico to itself and in fairness to nil the taxpayers of the Commonwealth, should not re turn him to misrepresent it. If each Legislative district would care fully scrutinize the capacity and merit oi its candidate nnd his fitness to perform tho duties of his offlco nnd only elect men thus qualified, the Legislative body would instant ly rise to a levol of respectability nnd honesty, which would redound to tho credit, and prosperity of the people. It has been shown that our representative was remiss in the performance of his duty, in that he voted for a bill "vicicus" to this county, but, so far there hns been no word of condemnation for that act in tho homo organ of the Democracy. It has railed at, the Legislature for passing "vicious' laws inimical to the interests of the tax payors, nnd by its silence rec oniniends, nnd by placing his name at its masthead, it commends the Hon. F. A. Kcsidor to the peoplo for re-election. Does It lie in the month of those who are making no effort to keep thoir own dooryards clean to abuse their neighbors. If the people of Pike County in siat on returning a man who is con victed of neglecting thoir intorents and of voting without protest for laws vicious to them, can they say aught if other districts, or the Re publicans, do the same? Remov the beam from your own eye before you say anything about the mote in your neighbor's. A FINE WINDOW SHOW. In the window of St. John's dm store, Port Jervia, the popular clerk Mr. Oliver Squires, hns nrrangeJ a very attractive display. Thore a novel display of bird seed, and the window is arranged to represent piece of woods. Trees of difforent kindsareintorwoven with wildgrnpe vines, and thore areferna, mosses and lichens for the ground work A stump placed prominently hold a birds nest containing one large egg labeled : "This big egg was produced by feeding the birds on seed 10 cents a box." Directly above tho log in tho vines is anotli er nost containing five smaller egg of different colors. A bird is sit ting over the eggs trying to pro tect thom from a snake which crawling up into the ne.st. In th foreground is heaped up a.quan tity of birdseed in boxes which are marked : "Pure bird seed which even tho wild birds eat," The whole display is origional and nttracka deal of attention. THE WAR FOR HUMANITY. We have recoivod - copies of "Amorica's War for Humanity," by Hon. John J. Ingalls, a former U. 8. Senator from Kunsas,. The book ia well written, the descrip tiona vivid, nnd the illustrations add greatly to a complete concep tion ot the situations and eveuts at and around the seat of tho war. There is much valuable informa tion relative to our new possession, its soil, climate and character of its inhabitants. The books will be read with great satisfaction aud profit and are indis pensable to those wishing to be well informed concerning Cuba, the his tory of her paople and the transac tions which ended in her surrender to our arms. It is issued by the N. D. Thompson Publishing Co. of N. Y. The Philadelphia, Reading and N. E. R. R., running from Camp bell Hall, N. Y., to Hartford, Couu., including the Poughkeepsie bridge, was sold last Thursday under for closure. It brought $3,807,000. THE COST OF THE WAR. In the October Madura, Frank A. Vanderlip Assistant Secretary of the Treasury gives some very inter esting figures showing the money cost of the war to the U. S. Begin ning with the first appropriation of fifty million dollars by far tho largor prbportion of which was al lotted to the navy. There wore purchased 27 yaths, 20 tugs, 8 col liers, 8 cruisors and 9 torpedo boats forry boats lighters aud supply ships t a cost of seventeen million seven hundred and forty-oight thousand dollars Many vessels were also leased to be used as transports, ice boats eto. The auxiliary cruis r Harvard formerly tha S. S. New York and the Yale the Paris each oost the government f2,000 a day Tho St. Louis and St Paul were leased nt $2,500 a day each. The guns of tho navy aro expon slve arms, a 13-inch gun oosting 03,000 and its mount $18,500. An inch (run $12,000 and its mount 5,500. To fire one of tho 13-inch armor piorcing sholls costs $560 and the 8 inch shells cost $131. The cost of materials for i supply of amunftioa to once refill all tho vossol3 of the navy including tho five unfinished battle ships, would be over six and one-half million dol lars. The oost of nmunition for one battloship of Kearsargo class is 383,297. Admiral Dowoy probably irriod into Manila Harbor powder, shot and shell to the vahn of one nillion dollars, nud each of the five times his squadron passed tho firing arc before tho Spanish fleet it expen ded a round $100,000. Half a million dollars were expon- lod in destroying Cervoni's fleet and the Merritnac sunk by Lieut. flobson oost $3 12,000. Tho Oregon oost nearly $4,000,000 and the aver ago oost of such vessels in rooont years has been three nnd a quarter millions. Admiral Dowoys coal bill alone for last April was $81,872 To provide the means two hundred million dollars of thirty year three per cent bonds have been issued. If they are paid off iu ton years tho interest to bo paid will be $60,000,000 and if they run their full time it will double that amount. Tho nct- ual Treasury out lay will not exceed three hundred sixty one million dol lars, and the States expended over $10,000,000 in the equipment of the quotas. Thore will be other expen- sos to be added later but these are the actual known expenses now, BICYCLE ACCIDENT. As John Goujd, of Lehman, was driving home from Port Jervis Monday afternoon, near Shanno's he was overtaken by Mrs. W. E Kern, of Dingmans, who was riding a wheel, and in attempting to pass as she came just opposite the for ward wheel of his wagon, her bi cycle struck a stone and she was thrown in front of it, and imme diately behind one of the horses The horse kicked and fortunately missed her, but the wagon wheel passed over her stomach. The wagon, a heavy one, was loaded with coal, and the wonder is she wns not instantly killed. Mr. Go aid helped her to arise and placed her on his wagon, but she wns not ablo to ride, and resumed her journey on foot. Soon after, being overtaken by Mr. Adams, she was conveyed t tier home nnd Dr. Hughes summon ed, who fouud no bones broken, but severe internal bruises, which may develop serious results. LAFAYETTE ARBOR DAY. Nathan C. Schaeffor, Superinten tent of Public Instruction, haa, tho suggestion of Govornor Has tings, sot apart Wednesday, Oct. 19 as Lafayette Arbor Day in the pub lic schools of the state, and requests that the day be observed by th planting of trees and other appro priate exorcises. This date ia chos en because it commemorates th surrendor of Cornwallis at York town. Coutri jutions will be taken in all the schools and colleges in all parts of the United States toward monument to Lafayette to bo erec ted in Paris and to be dedicated United States day at the exposition in 1U00. The reionse should be and without doubt will be, both generous and universal throughout Pennsylvania. It was in this State at the battle of the Brandywiuo, thnt Lafayette was wounded while rendering gallant service to the American cause : it was on our soil that his blood was abed for Amer ican freedom, and it would be ai)i)roi)iiate honor to his name to plant a tree to bo known as a Lafay ette tree. FOREIGN MISSIONS AS INFLU ENCING NATIONAL P0LIC7. The Presbyterian Review ;Toron- to) thus moralizes on the general re lation of Missions to National Pol. icy, and in view of the fact tlhit nt tho present juncture much infl nonce is brought to bear on the policy of the United States by reason of an eagerness on tho part of Protestants to engage in Missionary Work in the Philippines, we quote the articlo : It hns long boon part of the policy of Franco to lend nctivo support to Roman Catholic Missions in any country she has sought to colonize or annex, on the ground that she wns thoreby supposed to strengthen her influence and hor hold over it. Russia is also at the present time placing her reliance on missions to the Ncstorians in Persia as a means of advancing her interests thoro. This is why tho governments of these two nations nre always sus picious or Jiiiiglish Frotostant mis sionaries and can not n void regard- g tbom as having ulterior politi cal aims. France has consented to tolerate tho Protestant church in Madagascar only on the understand- g that as soon as possible the control of the work thore shall be taken over by tho Reformed church of Franco. "As a matter of fact tho missions ndortakon by tho Protestant churches of Britain nnd America have never hnd any ulterior ninis. They hnve been undertaken solely r the sake of the spiritual results that might be secured. Tho same s nlso truo in tho main of German missions. Jut it is impossible to leny that they ha ve actually exor cised considerable influence on the foreign policy of tho nations which they represented. Whntevor may have boon the rensoua that, led a hurch to adopt a particular field as the sphere of operations, the consti tuent, members of that church will lways thereafter take greater in terest in its political fortunes, and will be willing to consent to any hanges that inicht endanger the work in which they nre engaged and for which they have already made great sacrifices. "Anothor aspect of the influence of foreign missions on national pol icy, however, which is perhaps nioro important still, is seen in its helping to determine the whole spirit of a nation's attitude toward the world. No more remarkable instance of such a change of ntti- tudo has occurred in modern times than that which ia seen in the U. S. ns tho outcome of the Spanish war. It- would be a very sujierficinl view of thecanso of that change, how ever which would attribute it solely to the wnr and to the accident of Admiral Dewey's dramatic success nt Manila. The way had been pre pared for the U. 8. assuming its place among the nntions of the world by the fnct thnt the Ameri can churches hnd long taken an ao- tive interest in the spiritual welfare of other nations. Before the Sp'in- ish war was thought of many of the Americans have felt that they should have interfered on behalf of the persecuted Armenians, and had it not been for the unfortunate Venezuelan affair they would have probably joined Great Britain in coercing Turkey into treating them decently. The interest they had in them was due almost entirely to the missionary operations carried on among those ancient peoplo. Had there been nny considerable mis sionary interests in Cuba there ia little doubt they would have inter fered on its behalf long before they did, Tho influence of Foreign mis sions on national policy is altogether likely to bo much stronger in tho future than in the past. This is partly duo to tho larger scalo on which thFy are being conducted. but mainly to the fact that they have made good thoir claim to be nmong the vital forces in the advancement of civilization."
