THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN. The only strife for office in the county has been among the several candidates for the legislative nomina tion. The campaign so far as we have heard, has been conducted in a quiet, orderly and gentlemanly manner and there has been nothing 'of a per sonal character in it. Each one has made his fight on his own merits, and has not attempted to build himself up, by pulling down his competitors. This is as it should be. and it u-miM K good thing if all campaigns could be tonuuciea in me same manner. Thus tar there have been no allegations of ie improper use of money, and who- ;er me successiul men may be, they iu nave tne assurance that they are i.:e honest choice of the party. THE DELEGATE ELECTION. On Saturday next, between the the afternoon, the Democrats of Col umbia county will meet at the several polling places for the purpose of electing delegates to the county con vention which meets on Tuesday, August 9th in the court house.

At the Democratic County Conven tion held August 1 89 1 the following report was made by the Committee on resolutions, which was unanimous ly adopted : "Whereas, It is the practice of the election districts in the County to have the officers holding the election to number the ballots, and whereas, neither the rules of the Democratic party nor the Act of Assembly, gover ning primary elections authorizes or requires it to be done ; Re soiled, That we recommend the discontinu ance of the practice, so that every man's ballot shall be free and secret." Election papers have been prepared that omit the numbers, and provide Only for the names of the voters. Members of the Legislature make the laws of the State, and it is therefore the duty of every man to take a part in the selection of Repre sentatives. This is done at the dele gate elections, and every Democrat in the county should attend on Saturday wd cast his vote for the men of his choice. Don't stay at home and let others make the nominations, and then find, fault bedims the laws do not suit Democrats Triumph. Jones' Majorit" Climbing Up- CAPTAIN KOU1, THE AI.UANlE-INDE-PENDENT CANDIDATE FOR l.OVKR NOK OF ALABAMA, OVERWIIF.LM 1NGI.YDEFEAT1'.D BY HIS DEM OCRATIC OPPONENT. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 2. Re turns from yesterday's election received late to night confirm previous inform ation The ticket was a long one, and the counting in many localities in the statf, owing to the multiplicity of local candi dates, was not concluded until to-d.iy. Further returns sustains the former telegrams as to the probable majority of 50 000 for Jones and a legislature overwhelmingly straight Democratic. The defeat of Kolb is regarded by pol iticians, irrespective of party, as an in dication of the weakness of the Third party, and that a great mass of the Southern Alliance men will not desert the old party. Colonel Thomas G. Tones, who has been re elected governor by the Dem ocrats ot Alabama, alter a hard tight with Captain Kolb and his Alliance retainers, was born in Jonesboro, Ga. The family removed to Montgomery, Ala. He was a student in the Virginia military academy, of which Stonewall Jackson was a professor. At the break ing out of the war he enlisted with the confederacy and was assigned to the staff of General Gordon. He was then about nineteen years old. Captured by a small squad of union soldiers at Bristow station, in October, 1 863, and kept a prisoner all night, he made them, seven in all, his prisoners the next morning and took them into the confederate lines. His military career wa one round of dashing bravery. After the close of the war Colonel Jones returned to Montgomery. His collegiate education having been in terrupted by the war, he began the practice of law and was admitted to practice in that city. He won favora ble notice throughout the country in 1873, when he made the first speech m the South for reconstruction and friendly feeling among the states. He was elected a member of the state leg islature in 1884. He was re-elected to the house in 1886, receiving at the primary election to nominate officers nearly every vote cast in the county and running far ahead of all other can didates. At this session of the legisla ture he was chosen speaker of the house, and discharged the duties of that high position in a manner to re flect much credit upon himself. In 1890 Colonel Jones was one of the Several candidates for governor. At a meeting of the state alliance in June, 1889, the fanners decided that they were entitled to nime the next governor, and brought forward Cap tain Reuben F. Kolb, state commis sioner of agriculture. In the conven tion Kolb led all his competitors for several ballots and had very few votes siiort of enough to nominate. The opposition, however, effected a sudden combination against him and insisted on Jones. Kolb and his supporters, though very sore, gracefully acceded to the will of the convention. The election resulted in the following vote: Jones, 139,910; Long, Republican can didate, 43,440, with 1,491 scattering. Kolb immediately set out to secure the nomination in 1892. Defeated in this at the Democratic primaries, and later in the convention, he bolted the ticket, and leading an independent faction, began an unprecedented campaign which culminated in his defeat on Monday.

VOTERS OF C0LUMB1 k COUNTY. In brief remarks I feel like stating to the public, concerning the candi dates now contesting for the office of the Legislature is becoming quite a contest on the north side. It seems th.-.t the fight is being narrowed down between Fritz and Jacoby of Blooms burg or Kashinka of Briarcreek. One of these three and Tewksbury on the South will undoubtedly represent us in the House of the Legislature at Harrisburg this coming winter. But bear with me in the following remarks. Messrs. Fritz and Jacoby of Blooms burg, I respect them in most every way and manner as men of Ability. But Briarcreek has not had a man holding a county office for several years and Bloomsburg is seldom ever without thorn, and therefore Jinar creek is certainly entitled to the office, and I do heartily and cheerfully en dorse the abilitv, principle and inte grity of R. G. F. Kashinka as a man of reliability, feeling confident of him filling the office in the House of the Assembly at Harrisburg to the wishes of the sentiment of our people. Claim him to be one of the most capable candidates now before you, for the office of the Legislature. I do therefore urge every voter to the sup port of Briarcreek, R. G. F. Kas hinka for the office of the Legislature on Aug. 0, 1S92. A Voter. Revenue Ejport. Internal Revenue Collector T.

To the Democratic Voters of Columbia County : On Saturday, Aug. 6, you will have the opportunity to assist in nomina ting candidates for the various offices to be filled at the coming election. You will have no more responsible auty 10 periorm on that day than to see that the men best fitted for these positions are elected. At this time the most important office to be filled is that of member of the legislature. At the next meeting of that body the questions of equalization of taxation, the secrecy of the ballot, the redisrict ing of the State into congressional, legislative and judicial districts, and other important measures will come up for consideration, and it behooves the people of this county to send those who can do the best work for them. It is known to all that the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburg sena men wno nave seen long service in the House, some with a continuous record of almost twenty years. They go there keen and sharp, familiar with all the rules and routine work of the legislature, ready to take advantage of me new men from the country. These city members as a rule are elected bv the influence of cornnra- tions and their service enables them to pass any bill they desire. If you wish to secure the reforms vou so much need, you must resort to the same means and sena to the legisla ture your most experienced and avail able men. You have honored me in the past by sending me to the House ior two terms, and l know that I made an honest effort to serve the best interest of all the people, and should you so honor me again I pledg-; you that all my energies as well as my experience in legislation shall be loyally devoted to your interests. v ery 1 ruiy, Andrew L. Fritz. The Stata Fair to ba at Ssranton. It has finally been decided by the State Agricultural Society, that the State Fair shall be held in Scranton commencing on Tuesday, September, 13th, to last until Saturday, the 17th. The driving park, where it will be held, will be put in good condition, and by the erection of new buildings and re pairing the old there will be ample ac commodation for al 1. Beware of last cards. Whatever is done at the last moment by any can didate or his friends that reflects upon his competitor without a chance to answer is unworthy of any considera tion. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. WASHINGTON LETTER Washington, Aug. 3, 1892. The Congressional dead-lock over Weald's Fair appropriation is still on. and both sides are still confident of winning, or at least they say they arc. There is absolutely no ground to base an authoritivc prediction on how it will end, although the chances, on account of numbers, are still consider ed to be in favor of those who sup port the appropriation, if a quornm of the House can be kept here, a very important "if". The extension of last year's Sundry civil appropriation expired at midnight Saturday; the Senate has passed a joint resolution extending it to Thursday of this week, but when an attempt was made in the House to pais it, Saturday before ad journing on account of the announce ment of the death of Representative Craig, of Pennsylvania, Representa tive Hopkins of Illinois, objected, consequently the Government Printing Office and other bureaux of the Government provided for m that bill are closed to day, and will re main until the old appropriation is ex tended or the new one becomes a law As Representative Hopkins is prominent among the friends of the World's Fair appropriation, it is be lieved that his objection was part of a plan to force the filhbusterers to al low the House to pass the new Sun dry Civil bill with the World'j Fair appropriation amendment. A num ber of compromises have been sng gested, but tip to this time the friends of the appropriation, backed by the Senate, which insists that Con gress shah not adjourn until the World's Fair appropriation becomes a law, have refused to even consider them. Representative Amos Cum mings, of New York, who is now in command 01 tne niiibusterers says that they will hold out until Decem ber, if necessary. The dead lock may end to-day, and may last for montr.s; no man can tell how or when it will rnd. Senator Carlisle never speaks on the tariff without giving the republi cans some Mow that cannot be suc cessfully parried, and his last speech, which even so bitter a partisan as Senator Sherman referred to as "the very fair and frank argument of the Senator from Kentucky," was no ex- ception to the rule. He dealt the protection mumbo jumbo a terrible blow in an unprotected spot when he cited fifteen general occupations, the products of which are highly pro tected by the McKinley law. and fifteen other trades, the products of which are on the free list, and showed by undisputable figures that average 01 wages m the protected industries had been reduced since the McKin ley bill became a law, while the average of wages paid by the un protected industries had during the same period increased. So much for the only real argument that pro tectionists have protection increases the wages of our working people. The fifteen unprotected occupations in which the average of wages has in creased since the McKinley law was enacted are bakers, blacksmiths, brick layers, cabinet makers, carpenters, common laborers, faim laborers, machinists, masons, iron molders, painters, plumbers, stone cutters, tailors, and tin smiths. The fifteen protected occupations, in which the average wages have decreased, are bar iron, boots and shoes, cotton and woolen goods, crucible steel, flint glass, window glass, lumbei, machinery, pig iron, steel ingots, steel bloom, steel rails, and woolen goods. Mr. Carlisle also called attention to an other clause of the McKinley law which is responsible through the rise in the price of tin for having already robbed the people of this country of $4,629,750, or more than one half of the estimated value of the 508 tin plate works of Wales, thus showing that the benefit of this particular clause of the protective tariff is reaped entirely by the Welch manufacturer at the expense of the American con sumers. According to an official com munication from Secretary Foster to the House, in answer to a resolution, no Treasury official either asked for or obtained leave of absence to at tend the republican national con vention at Minneapolis. Then a good many of them were absent with out leave, as they were certainly at the convention. The House committee on Agricul ture in a report upon the effect of the present tariff law upon agriculture, confirmed the statement made in the Senate last week by Senator Vest, that the value of larm land and farm products have been steadily de terioating under the several protective tariff laws in force since the war, while other interests have been more prosperous and remunerative. The report says under the low tariff of 1846 agriculture enjoyed its greatest prosperity, and that the more re strictive and prohibitive the trade wun omer countries has been the worse has agriculture fared. Quite "a tempest in a tea not" has been raised by the charge of drunk enness on the floor of the House, made by Representative Watson, of Georgia, in a somewhat remarkable book he has written and published. A special committee is now engaged. ny uuecnyn 01 the House, in in. vestigating the charge, and the scandal mongers are taking special delight in smirching the names of membeis of the House. Th8 Morning Bath. Cold bathing in the early morning is beneficial only to those nersons who have sufficient vital enerav and ner vous force to insure good reaction with no subsequent languor or lassitude. Many persons who are greatly re freshed by their morning bath feel tired or languid two or three hours after it. When this occurs it is con clusive evidence against the practice. Persons w ho have an abundance of blood and flesh, who are lymphatic or sluggish in temperament, and whose nervous force is not depleted, can take the cold morning bath to advan tage. Others who are inclined to be thin in flesh, whose hands and feet become cold and clammy on slight provocation, who digest food slowly and assimilate it with difficulty, who are nervous and carry large mental burdens, should avoid early morning bathing. For all such the bath at noonday or before retiring at night is far more desirable, and it should be followed by rest of body and brain till equable conditions of circulation are re established. Som-i individuals who are weak in nervous power have such excitable peripheral nerves that they get at once a perfect reaction from cool bathing, but lose in after effects more than the value of the bath. This class of persons should not bathe too often, and should al ways use tepid water, choosing the time preferably before retiring, so says an expert.

We formerly had bondpd warehouse room suf ficient to atote m.oiip gallon of whiskey, wlildi we considered a stock Hiifllcleiit to meet our trade, but we found however, tlie demund tor our whiskey such, that tor us to he ahix in o'' a lancr stock of old w hiskey, we werei-ruiielled to Increase our storage room and have Jim com pleted an Ironclad bonded warehouse with a capacity surtlclcut to store i,oou gallons ot whiskey. We aim to sell no whiskey less than one yenr old and from that oil up to the oldest, we hav In stock except In original packages, thereby giving our patrons the beneni of the age.
