How to Secure Succcss-
If tlioro is ono fatit nioro than any
other that is recognized and acknowl
edged by all, it U tho fact that a full
.Democratic vote w'M secure Democrat
io success. In this campaign it is not a
question about bow many votes wo can
make, or how many converts wo can
securi', in much as can wo havo every
Democratic voio at the polls t With a
full voto there can bo but ono rcsurl
an overwhelming victory for tho entire
Democratic ticket: and a full voto can
be secured if tho Democratic organiza
tion and tho Democratic people out do
their duty.
It is work that wins, but to poll a full
Democratic voto at tho coming election
will requiro but little work on tho part
of each individual, if am. who feel an
interest in the success of right put their
shoulders to tho wheel and help along
tho good cause.
Tho registration of voters closed on
tho 7th of September, and thcro may
bo Democrats whoso names, through
carele88iiess,havo been left off tho regis
try books. This does not necessarily
prevent their voting. If they havo
paid a state and county tax within two
years thoy can vote as readily as can
any ono else, by simply proving that
they havo resided within the district in
which thoy offer to voto sixty days.
These unregistered Democrats should
ho made to understand this fact.
Another important matter just at
this time, and tho most important that
Democrats have to attend to, is tho
payment of taxes. No man can vote
unless ho has paid a Stato or county
tax within two years, or pays it on or
before Saturday the 7th day of Octobor.
Men can voto who are not registered,
but tho payment of either a Stato or
county tax, as abovo stated, is an ab
solute necessity, and there is no way of
getting around it, unless you wish to
loso your voto.
Thcro is no man so mean as to dis
franchise himself for tho pittance of
Slate tax he is required to pay to so
cure a vote.
There is no man so poor who cannot
raise tho few cents the State imposes
as a voting tax j if there are, any Dem
ocratic neighbor will lend him the
amount necessary to qualify him to vote
It is the poor man and tho'careless men.
who want to bo looked after at this time,
AND IIIOHT NOW IS Till: TIMi: TO ATTCNI)
to it. Sec your Democratic neighbo.'
and ask him if he has paid bis taxes.
If ho has not urge him to do so at once.
It is all important. If he has no money
to do so loau him the necessary amount,
and if you are not able to loan it to
him get somo Democratic neighbor who
is to do it as once.
A single Democratic voto in each
district of tho State, for want of pay
ment of taxes, may loso us tho victory.
Aro you aware of this fact, working
Democrats? Now is tiii:timk to ikk
vknt sucn a kksui.t, and bear in mind
all tho time, that a full Democratic vote
insures an overwhelming Democratic
victory.
Would Not Paoe the Farmers.
Tho Farmer's club, of Chadd's Ford,
Chester county, ono of the most intelli
gent organizations in that Republican
stronghold, at a meeting in February
last, resolved that "General Heaver, by
his conduct of tho state agricultural col
lege, nas snown ins incapacity io run
an institution of that sizo and has made
it a standard disgrace to the cause of
aurieulturo ; that this club, without
suggesting to others any choice or pref
erence in candidates fo"r tho guberna
torial chair, do feel it incumbent upon
us to protest against his nomination as
being unworthy tho support of farmers,
iiinl wo pledge ourselves that under no
ciicumstaiico can lie receive our support
or votes for that position.'1
It was widely published lately that
General Heaver was going down to
Chadd's Ford to meet tho members of
this club, face to face and to account to
them for tho failure of their college, on
which tho state spout $30,000 a year.
Chairman Cooper was to havo had his
candidate on tho ground.
Tho farmers were there. Thoy wait
ed for Heaver, lie did not come j nor
did ho send any explanation of his ab
sence. Nor has there been any apology
furnished for his siirnal failure as an
administrator of the affairs of tho state
college, which besides a splendid enuii
meat has an eiuiowme'it of a half a mil
lion dollars and makes no return
Tho Philadelphia Jlecord, which do
votes special attention to agricultural
top.es, referring to this matter says :
"In his limited publio and oflicial ex
penenco General Heaver has betraved
a want of executive capacity which is
in Btrikinsr contrast with the li'mli ad
ministrative abilities of his Deutocr.itio
opponent. ithout seeking for ono
moment to cast the faintest shadow
upon me personal integrity and pure
character of General Heaver, wo aro
compelled to say that in his only oppor
tunity to give proof of executive oanao
ity in tho management of the affairs of
tho agricultural college ho has
been a dismal failure. Thcro
no doubt of his zealous and
unselfish devotion to tho inter
ests of tho college, and yet under his
fatal control this liberally endowed
institution lias in a brief space of time
fallen into almost conipleto ruin and
decay. Looking to tho matter purely
from a business point of view, it would
lie somewhat strange if tho peoplo of
Pennsylvania, in choosing their chio
executive, should prefer tho candida'to
who could not maiiago the affairs of an
agricultural school to tho successful ad
mmistrator who has reduced to order
tho confused and entangled finnnoial
affairs of a great city."
Tho Philadelphia Chronicle-Iferald
believes in its heart that tho days of
personal misrule and abuse of power is
lbout over in Pennsylvania, and talks
ni this wise: It don't matter a contin
oatnl what t lie bosses may say or think,
their reign is destined to come to o
speedy and ignominious close. This is
as Btire as shooting, or that guns aro
made of iron. The rulo of these tyrants
lias already been too prolonged. The
iKJoplo aro tired of it, and thcrufon
have decreed that it shall come to mi
inglorious end. When the peoplo ur
so determined in real earnest, they aro
apt to carry tneir resolve nito eitect.

TO CONSIDKIt.
Tho "Farmers' High School of Penn
sylvania," afterwards tho "Agricultural
Collcgo of Pennsylvania," and now tho
"Pennsylvania Stato College," was or
ganized under act of Incorporation,
July 13, 1851. Tho farm upon which
tho college is built is looaled in Ccutro
county, and was a frco gitt for tho pur
poso by General James Irvln. Ono
year after the first meeting of tho board
of trustees, tho Stato Agricultural So
ciety gave of its fund to tho Farm
School $ 10,000. This was followed by
a donation of equal amount from tho
citizens of Centre county, and by ono
from friends of tho Institution through
out the Stato of 825,000.
In 1857 tho first application for Stato
aid to the school was made and nn ap
propriation of 50,000 was secured. In
1801 an additional appropriation was
mado by tho Legislature of $49,900,
making in all to this date, oxclusivo of
tho farm property, tho sum of $111,
900. In 18G2 the act of Congress giving
certain government lands to agricultur
al institutions was passed, and during
tho session of 1803 the Legislature no
ccpted tho land granted by Congress in
behalf of the Agricultural College of
Pennsylvania. This land after being
sold netted tho College $439,180.80, on
income from which it first received in
1808. From 1808 to 1872 interest was
received by the college from its land
scrip bonds amounting annually to $2G,
351.10. The number of students in
altondanco from tho time of tho open
ing of tho co'dego in 1859 to the 1st of
January, 1872, as shown by collcgo cat
alogues, averaged yearly 112 tlio nv
erago cost to each student for collcgo
expenses was $120 annually, so that tho
statement of receipts up to 1872, from
various sources, by tho collcgo would
bo as follows :

25,000

104,720
Total $425,000
The above sum total is oxclusivo of
the. income derived from tho college
farms, the figures of which wo havo not
been able to obtain.
Out of this amount was paid for
Collcgo buildings nnd equipments $110,000
Experimental farms and " 05,000
Total 8105,000
Leaving for school purposes alone the

of $3,937.27.
WORSE AND WORSE.
This showing looks bad enough, and
it is not to be wondered at, that at tho
time those who knew of tho facts com
plained of tho mismanagement of tho
nstitution and tlio triglittul amount ot
money that was being used to accom
plish such a small amount of good.
Hut bad as it was, it was nothing com
pared to what was to follow.
in 1872 it. A. JHoAinster, esq., tno
god father of the collego and a gentle
man who had spent time, talent and
money to establish it, died. Ho was
succeeded by his son-in-law, General
James A. Heaver, who has since' that
date been the home trustee, and, as
such, the controlling power in tho man
agement of tho collego. His word has
been law and his nmuciico omnipotent
in its management. At the time he
became connected with tho collego he
know its weakness, ho understood tho
prejudices there were against it and the
causo or those preiiunces, anil was
aware of its financial failures ami mis
management. As an honest, faithful
oflicer ho should havo set about correct
ing the abuses and reforming the man
agement. How did bo do it T
Not by attempting to cut down use
less extra vagaucis at tho Collego j
not by trying to build it up and return
to the tax payers of the Stato somo
equivalent for the moneys expended,
but by appealing to tho Legislature for
further aid, which was granted, in the
shape of an addition to tlio land scrip
ndowmcnt ot $00,813.20, tints making
tlio entire endowment fund of tho Col-
ego $5')0,000, tho interest on which at
G per cent, or $30,000 per annum, tho
State obligated itself mid pays regular
ly to the college. 1 1 is but fair to Gen
end Heaver, in this connection, to stato
that at the tnno bo succeeded to bis
father in law's placo as tho managing
power of the collego it had an indebt
edness upon it of $80,000.
each oiiAiiUTK costs $0,848.20.
During the ten years ho has had con
trol ot its management tlio average
number of students per year, according
to its annual catalogues, has been 144
The average income from each student
tas been ij.jU, making a total income
to the collego in the past ten years of
5S72.U0O. To this is to bo added the
interest arising from the endowment
fund $30,000 per year, making the to
tal income, exclusive of tho profits
arising from four farms and individual
donations, ns follows :
From Students a 72,000
' Endowment fund, 10 years.... 300,000
Total 4372,000
In 1878 thii Legislature generously
appropriated $80,000 to lift tho indebt
edness of tho collego heretofore referred
to. Up to that tune tho annual inter
est on that indebtedness amounted to
$5,000, which from 1873 to 1878. would
foot up in tho aggregate to 28,000,
1 his sum, together with tho cost of
building water works nnd a houso for
ono of tho professors, would bo as fol
lows :
For 5 years' Interest on debt 5-28,000
rroicssors iiouso 4,000
Water works 25,000
Total $57,000
Deducting these expenditures from
tho incomo would leave it tor education
al purposes alone the sum of $315,000
With this fund General Heaver man
aged to have graduated in ten yoars
forty-six students at an average cost for
each graduate of $0,8 18.20.
Six thousand eiaht hundred and
forty eight dollars and twenty six
cents.
Theso figures, startling as thoy are,
are taken from tho collego records and
given to tho public, not to disparage
the aims, objects or intents for which
that institution was originally organ!
zed i not to decry tho good it may do i
not to cripple its usefulness nortothrow
obstacles in tho way of its success, but
to show how faithless its chief excou
tivo has been to tho trust imposed in
him in this matter. For ten years ho
has been tho trusted head of its man
agement, nnd during all these ten years
ho has boon willingly receiving tho
State's money without any effort to re
turn an equivalent for it or any idea of
stopping the leak that has brought such
disroputo to an institution that other-
wise would command .the respect nm!
good wishes of all.
Neither do wo refer to these figures
to reflect upon the personal honesty of
Ueticriu Heaver, who being tlm princi
pal adviser and executive head of tho
college, must bear tho principal part of
tlio responsibility ot its trigbtfnl mis
management nnd shameless squander
ing of tho publlu moneys, but to show
the executive ability of the man whom
Cameron mid his ring of Stato bosses
would force upon tho taxpayers as tho
chief executive of tho commonwealth.
Contrast tlio executive ability of
James A. Heaver as shown by tho fore
going plain statement of facts with the
executive abilitv of Hobert 15. Pattison
as displayed in tho management of the
financial affairs of tlio city of Philadel
hia, and then say for yourselves whicl
is the proper person to elect nstbo cli
chief
executive of the State of Pcnnsyl

nln.

China leads civilized countries in
finding a use for its ants. Prof. Riley
of the Agiicnltural Bureau, Washing
ton, ha3 received from Han Chnw an
account of a curious use made of ants
in that part of China. It seems that in
many parts of tho province of Canton
the orange treo are injured by certain
worms, and to rid themselves of these
pests, the inhabitants import ants from
tho neighboring hills. The hill peoplo
throughout tho summer and winter
find the nests of two species ot ants,
red and yellow, suspended from tho
branches of various trees. The trees
aro colonized by placing tho ants on
their upper branches, and bamboo rods
aro stretched Between the niitercnt
trees, so as to give tho ants easy access
to tho whole ' orchard. This remedy
has been in constant use at least since
1G40, and probably dates from a much
earlier period.
Here is the tangle that was presented
to the supremo Court at Michigan to
straighten out : A debtor of a firm
made a chattel mortgage of his stock of
gooiL to them, and put it on record.
llo then informed a member of tho
firm of what ho had done, and, by ag-
eemeut, tho firm's mime was put over
tho store, as though they were the pro
prietors. Hut tho debtor really con
tinued the business, and contracted new
debts, upon ono of which the firm was
sued. The com t nllirmed a judgment
against the firm, saying : "The debt
was a paitiierhip debt, the mortga
gee had authority to take goods in pay
ment, and to create ah agency for the
purpose of selling off the goods so
taken. Secret instructions to the agent
under such circumstances cannot avail.
It would ha a reproach to tho law if it
could suffer a principal to escape respon
sibility for those acts of the agent
which, according to tho usual course of
the business in which he was engaged,
tho public had a right to understand
were authorized."
Tho following published in tlio
Philadelphia Times of Tuesday, hhows

every occasion in person to get their
warrants, but in many cases havo been
compelled to maka oath as to their
identity. The cohtroveisy between
the controller's department and tho
guardians of tho poor has been of
monthly occurence sinco Controller
Pattison, with his strict business ideas,
took charge Tho ordinance of 1878,
which is especially intended to protect
tho city from straw contractors and
which gives the controller power
to withhold tho warrants in all cases
where ho is in doubt ns to tho identity
of the person in whoso favor thoy nro
drawn was passed after many confer
ences between Controller Pattison nnd
others, when tho whole question as to
its efficiency was discussed. It is un
der this ordinance) the controller trans
acts tho business relating to warrants.
The former secretary of the old boards
of guardians of tho poor was tho cus
todian of tho warrant book, mado out
tho poor board warrants, took the re
colpts for them and identified the peo
ple who were to receive warrants, If
lie were dishonest ho could imposo both
on the controller's department mid tho
treasury."
Invisible Poison.
HOW IT WOIIKS ITS WAY INTO TIIK IIOIIV
AND liOW TO COUNTKKAC'T IT.
Ono of tho great Bconrges of tho pre
sent year in nil parts of America has
been malaria. This Is a trouble so
treacherous in its nature and so danger
ous in its results ns to justly cause ap
prehension wherever it has appeared.
But thcro nro so many erroneous ideas
upon tho subject thnt a few words are
in order nt a tlmo when peoplo nro sub
jcot to malarial lulliiciices.
Malaria, which means simply bad air,
is tho common iinmo of n class of di
seases which ariso from spores of do
caving vegetable matter, thrown off
from stagnant pools or piles of vegeta
tion undergoing decomposition. These
spores when inhaled with tho breath or
taken into tho system with water soon
enter tho blood whereby tho whole
system is poisoned and the various
functions disordered. When tho germ
theory of diseaso was first advanced it
was supposed that theso spores wero of
animal nature, and like the bacteria in
diphtheria wero propagated in tho blood,
but they aro now conceived to bo of
vegctalilo origin, liko the fungi found
on decaying wood or in cellars. Tho
source of this stato of the air is gener
ally swamps or stagnant pools, which,
partially dried by tho hot buii, send
fourth vapors loaded with this mala
rial poison. Theso vapors descend to
tlio earth in tho night, cooled by tho
loss of tempaturo, and breathed by
slccpcis are readily inhaled. Hence
persons living near stagnant pools or
marshes aro liable to bo afflicted with
chills and fever, and such localities are
never healthy, though thoy aro more so
when tho streams flowing into them are
pure, and nlso when tho water is high.
Again tho drainage of houses, slaugh
ter houses, barns, etc, aro a fertile
sourco of malaria. Ono will often
notice in coming into tho neighborhood
of one of theso sluggish streams that
pass through almost every villago n
most villainous smell caused by the of
fensive rcfuso which communicates its
bad odor to tho atmosphere, especially
on hot days. This absorbed into the
system by the lungs or taken in through
water, which also absorbs it from tho
air, poisons tlio blood and deranges the
wholo system. This poison is also de
veloped in forco in wells and springs
when thoy become low, and tbu result
of di inking these is the same as breath
ing tho poisonous air. In a time of
drouth tho great quantity of vegetation
that dries up in tho meadows, stubble
fields and pastures, the corn fields and
forest leaves produces thesame eflluvia.
On the prairies when largo tracts of
prario ground aio turned over, tho do
caying vegetation is a widespread cause
of malaria.
Tho evils which follow malarial poi
soning are almost infinite. Diseaso of
a malignant and dangerous nature, ac
companied by symptoms the most dis
tressing aro certain to manifest them
selves and life is a tiurdcn so long as
this poison remains in tlio system. Tho
indications of malarial poisoning aro
loss of appetite, shortness of breath,
pains about tho heart, wasting of flesh
and strength, despondency, nervous
ness, dull pains in various parts of tlio
body, headaches, dizziness, n coated
tonguo and dry mouth, night sweats,
muscular debility, pulling under the
eyes, an unusual color, ordor or sedi
ment about tho fluids passed from tho
system, etc. Any one of tho abovo
symptoms may be an indication of ma
larial poison in the body which nec
essitates immediate and careful atten
tion. Hut if malarial poison could not find
a lodgement in the human body, it
would be just as harmless as tho oxy
gen of the air. Tho great difficulty is
that, after being absorbed into the sys
tem, it produces obstructions in tho
stomach and lungs, clogs tho circula
tion of the blood, affect the kidneys,
liver and other organs, and brings on
diseases of the most dangerous charao
ter. There is only one known way by
which theso diseases may be avoided
or cured after they havo onco made
their appearance, and that is by keep
ing the great purifying orgaus of the
body in perfect health. ThebO organs
aro tho kidney and liver. No ono
whoso kidneys or liver are in a perfect
condition was ever afllieted by mala
rial poison. And when theso organs
aro disordered, thoy not only permit,
but invite, these diseases to mako their
inroads into tlio body. It is now ad
mitted by phybicans, ueietitists and the
majority of tho gcneial public that one
medicine, and only one whoso power
has been tested and proven, has ab
solute control of, and keeps tho kid
neys and liver in constant health and
hence prevents malarial sickness This
remedy is Warner's Safe Kidney anil
Liver Cure, tho most popular medicino
before tho American people, and sold
by every iliuggistin the land. It fully
counteracts tbo evil effect of malarial
poison in the system, ami not only ban
ishes it, but restores tho members
which that poison has weakened. How
well i t does this can bo learned from
tbo following:
Kansas Cut, Mo, Juno 2G, 1882.
Moving from thu slate of New York to
tho western country, I was attacked with
malaria and general debility. I had
lost all appetite and was hardly ablo to
move about. 1 had tried. a great many
remedies, but nothing bettered my con
dition until I began using Warner's
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, which
seemed to help mo right away, and I
feel as well as I ever have in my life.
It is a blessing to people in this mala
rial country. C. F. Wim.iam,

Hardware.
ibis great remedy has proven its
power in innumeraoie cases, and to day
is more extensively used in malarial ills
tricts, whether in cities or in tho coun
try, than any or all other remedies for
tho cure of tho sanio class of disease.
Io ono can afford to trifle with the
fust symptoms of malaria, but instant
caro should oo taken to obeck it on tho
start before its evil influences over
shadow the life.
