That is to say two weeks from next Tuesday is election day and the work of preparation to be effective must be finished by the Sat- urday night previous to the opening of the ) Of course, getting the voters to the polls is of the utmost importance and that is a work of election day. If that is ne- glected the time and labor spent in the preliminary work will be wasted. But in the absence of ample arrangements for the election day work it will be impossible to perform is. In other words, getting voters to the polls on election day ‘is not a hap- hazard matter. It must be done systemat- ically after full preparation. We can assure the Democrats of Centre county that the preliminary work through- out the State has been as carefully and sys- tematically performed as has been possible to do. In no previous campaign has the State Central committee been go closely in touch with the local workers and individ- ual voters as it is at present. This result has been achieved at the expense of a vass amount of labor and sonsiderable outlay of money. Little more ¢an be achieved by the state committee. What remains to be done is necessarily the work of the local committees and individual voters. There is ample time to perform it if sufficient energy is expended and proper intelligence displayed by those upon whom it de- volves. Between now and the Saturday night previous to the election every Democratic voter should have the name of every other Democrat in his school district and be pre- cisely informed with respect to his incli- pations regarding the election. If he is fully qualified to vote, thas is to say if he is registered, assessed and hae his taxes paid there is nothing to do bus get him to the polls. If there is any delinquency in his qualification the necessary witnesses should be gotten ready when witnesses are needed. If the voter is sick or unable to come to the election on account of infirm- ity a carriage should be provided for him and if detained until late by his work he should be helped to the polls. In other counties such arrangements will be made and such plans carried ons. The Democrats of Centre county ought and we are certain will, not be behind other copntiee in this patriotic work. With such | vigilance and energy the most substantial victory can be secured. It will not only guarantee the election of our candidate for Judge, but it will give a complete trinmph on the county ticket, Itisa most important election and no Centre county Democrat ought to fail in the performance of his fall duty. —The man who has rubbed shoulder to,shoulder with you at your work, who has been sober and respectable and honest all of his life is the man for yom to vote for. Vote for NoLL for Assembl y- —A prominent Bellefonte Republican leader ¢aid. Monday night, ‘‘We can’s blame the people for not swallowing the dose we give them on our county ticket this fall, but we must all turn in and save J.OVE, no matter what becomes of the ress.” He might have been expressing his own mind, but the ory to ‘‘save Love" will fall on deaf ears when it comes up to the men in Centre county whom LOVE has always fought because they dared to be friends of the late Governor HASTINGS, 5 ¥ fo an ee Strike that is Justified. For the first time in the history of trades unions in this State, so far as the subject bas come within our knowledge, the lahor organizations of Pennsylvania have organized a strike which is certain to do them good and will do harm to no interest that deserves to he conserved hy the public. That is to say according to the Trades Union News of Philadelphia the labor organizations of the State are prepating to organize a strike against the atrocious Republican machine at the polls on election day. The influencing cause of this movement is the fact that in the con- stroction of the new oapital building at ‘Harrisburg, an essentially political job, scab labor is in control and the protests of the unions have failed $2 cause a correction of the injustice. What the union laborers say concerning the work on the new capital building is trae. The contractor. a favorite of the Republican political machine, has not only refused to consider the protests of or- ganized labor against the employment of “‘scab’’ workmen on the job, but in every ‘possible way he has taken pains to show that his preference is for that kind of labor. In other words his customary response to the protests of union labor is to give ad- ditional advantages to the ‘‘scabs’’ and make what he is pleased to term the ‘‘open shops” as unpleasant for the union lahor- ers as possible. In fact he has finally made their condition so intolerable that they were obliged to abandon the fight and leave the field to the exclusive occupancy of the ‘‘scabs.” With characteristic conservatism the union labor men invoked every available expedient. to correct this fault before re- sorting to a strike. They appealed firet to the contractor, then to Senator PENROSE, chairman of the Repunblican State com- mittee and finally to GEo. B. CORTELYOU, chairman of the Republican National committee. Being intelligent men they understood that it being what is called ‘‘a political job’? it mmnst be reached through political channels. The con- tractor refused to even hear their griev- ances; PENROSE promised relief but failed to make good and CORTELYOU simply de- clared the President is on record asin favor of the open shop and therefore he could do nothing. Under the ecircum- stances they have no recourse other than to strike against the machine on election day and that they have determined to do. ——We want the most creditable repre- sentatives in the Legislature that it will be possible for us to have. For that reason everyone should vote for KEPLER and NoLr. 3 ——Col. Ep. IRVIN isa lucky fellow, indeed. He will be elected Senator with- out opposition. We knew of no Republi- can, however, who is more entitled to such gdod fortune. Named No Candidate For Senator. It having become positively known that the Hon. JAMES KERR, of Clearfield, would not accept the Democratic nomi- nation for Senator in this, the Thirty- fourth, district, the conferees reconvened in Clearfield on Wednesday to discuss the advisability of a substitute. After thor- oughly going over the situation the conferees adopted the following resolution. Resolved. “That we greatly regret that the un avoidable protracted absence abroad of the Hon. James Kerr makes it necessary for him ‘to de- cline the nomination for Senate from the 34lh Senatorial district, unanimously tendered him by the Democratic Senatorial Conference; and in view of the fact that the election is so near at hand, and it would be unfair to any candidate to be asked to organize a campaign at this late day, it is the sense of this Senatorial Conference that no nomination be made.” This action naturally leaves the place open on the ticket and insures the election of Col. Ep. IRVIN, the Republican nomi- nee, without opposition; unless the Demo- cratic State Central committee, which met in Philadelphia last evening to discuss this matter among others, deems it best to make a nominal candidate. It is now soolate for any one to make even a hopeful canvass and while we great- ly deplore the miscarriage that leaves our party withous a candidate we congratulate the people of the district that the inevi- table outcome will be to give them such an able representative as Col. IRVIN will un- doubtedly make. ——While the interference of brewers associations in other parts of the State in the judicial fight in this county is not likely to assume such onfrageous propor- tions as it did in the Clearfield county con- test lass fall, yet any effort at all on the part of sach fellows in behalf of Judge LovE will meet with the crompt and de- cisive rehuke it deserves at the hands of the good people of Centre county. ——Everything is swinging ARTHUR KIMPORT'S way.

KiNasTOWN, St. Vincent, Oct. 13.—Po- lice investigation into the matter of the murder of a little white boy, whose heart and dismembered bands were found in the bonse of an obi-man (negro sorcerer), in the Island of St. Lucia, bas resulted in the arrest of a semingly intelligent negro butcher and a disclosure of barbarous sn- perstition and diabolism that survives to a startling extent in the West Indies—the heritage of a savage ancestry. The child was the victim of the desire of a man concerned in some litigation to ‘‘work a spell’”’ upon the Judge who was to try the case. To this end, at the di- rection of the obi-man, the negro decoyed the child so the house of the ¢bi-man, and there the child was strangled and his corpse dismembered. The bands and heart were found in a utensil in the house of the obi-man. The body, when found, was much decomposed. THE NEW McALLISTER DORMITORY AT STATE COLLEGE. oa ST IES eas Divorce Law Remains as at Present. BosToN, Oct. 14.--The house of dep- uties of the Episcopal convention at the close of a four-days’ debate today rejected an amendment to the divorce canon which sought to prevent the remarriage of divore- ed persons by clergymen of that denomina- tion. While the house of bishops may yeb act on the matter it is certain that no change will be made by the present con- vention. The present law of the church, which bas been in operation since 1859, allows the remarriage of the innocent party toa divorce granted for infidelity. At several conventions attempts have been made to repeal this Jaw and when a vote was taken today by the house of deputies, sitting as a committee of the whole, on the question of reporting the proposed amendment to the house itself the reformers were ruc- cessful by a vote of 214 to 191 and shis vote was regarded as representing the actual strength of the contending forces. The final vote, however, was taken by dioceses and orders and, where a diocese was evenly divided in sentiment, its strength was counted in the negative. The vote by dioceses was: Clerical —For the against, 21; divided, 10. Lay vote—For, 25, against, 54; divided, 6 amendment, 30; "Practically the entire strength of the middle western states, the stronghold of |’ the High church party, declared for the proposed reform, but the Pacific states and a nnmber of the southern states voted against changing the present canon. The diocese of New York opposed the amend- ment, while that of Pennsylvania favored is. New England, Vermont, New Hamp- shire and western Massachusetts voted for a change, as did the lay deputies from Rhode Island. The clerical deputies from Maine favored the amendment, but the votes of Connecticut and Mas:achusests were cast in the negative. The is-ue was not a party one, although the whole strength of the High church forces was given to the reform movement. . The presi- dent of the house of deputies, the Rev, Dr. R. H. McKim of Washington, voted for the old canon, although the olerical vote of his diocese supported the proposed change. : The convention will have no session tomorrow. : Guest of Honor. NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—Judge Parker was : the guest of honor to-night at a dinner given by State Senator Victor J. Dowling, at the Democratic club. ' Other guest were John B. McDonald, John Fox, Charles F. . Murphy. Cord Meyer and William 8. Rodie. : Although the presence of the presiden- tial candidate had not been announced, nearly the entire membership of the club and others called during the evening. The judge spent the evening at the club house. ; While Judge Parker was engaged in re- ceiving friends at his apartments the num- ber of callers was smaller than usual. He arose early and was busy until 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon, when he wens for for 2 walk, stopping at the Democratic olab. . Connectizut politics received’ much at- tention today at Judge Parker’s headquar- ters. Nearly half the visitors were from that State. The candidate considered the prospects of the Democratic party in Con- necticut and went over thé ‘various reports he has received concerning the canvass in that State. Numerous questions relating to the cam- paign were discussed with Judge Parker by William F. Sheehan, Colonel Daniel S. Lamont and Thomas F. Ryan. Other visitors today were General Nelson A. Miles, representative Bowers, of Mississippi, and A. Zindgraff, of Dallas. Swears He Placed Floaters. NEw YORK, Oct. 19th,—Richard Van Cott, son of the postmaster, and a can- didate for Assembly, and Banks on Mo- Avoy, cashier in the General Post Office, listened to-day to Benjamin D. Levy, a former employe in the post office, who swears that be was hired by the two de- fendants to colonize in the Fifth Assembly district. The witness told how he had been en- gaged to get more than 100‘‘boys’ as he called them, and how they had been in- structed to vote straight Republican tickets in the Fifth. The price these ‘‘floaters’’ were to get was six weeks’ free board and lodging, $1 for registering and for their vote. ‘Levy told of having an interview with Van Cott on the night of October 4. +I old him I had about 100 boys in the park bebind the statue.”” ‘‘He said to me, **Will they double-cross you? I said ‘No’ He said, ‘You know how I want them to go? And I said ‘Yes, straight Re- publican,’ and he said ‘That’s right.’ I bad sent Ralph Jones over to the park to look after the boys and Jones came back and said to Van Cott : ‘‘There’s an awful mob in the park.” Van Cott gave Jones $50 in $1 bills and then we started out and put some of the men in the various places we had been told to go. That night we placed 13 men.’ The hearing will be continued on Mon- day.

Mr. Murpby assored Messrs. Taggart and Belmont that New York city would give the national ticket a phenomenal ma- jority. Fair Almost Clear of Debt.

A sewer will be built on east Bishop street from the Undine hose house down to Allegheny street. Mr. Derstine made a motion, which was carried, that the hurgess be requested to enforce the. ordinance against loafing and spitting on the side- walks and pavements.
