WOLVERTON, For Representatives, E. M. TEWKSBURY, ANDREW L. FRITZ, The "corporation" had about as mucli to do with the recent delegate election as the man in the moon. The people fully understand that the hue .'.nd cry about "corporation lawyers" 1 hat emanates from a certain source n every occasion, is a mere peice of lemagoguery and buncombe. Mr. Fritz is not responsible for such effusions, and would have prevented them if possible. Senator Hill will take the stump for Cleveland in October. In mean time he has agreed to prepare some literature on the Force bill, its effect &c. Mr Hill has a peculiarly forci ble manner of speech, and his articles and speeches will have a good effect in this educational campaign. The democrats are putting forth a united effort in New York state and that means victory for Grover Cleveland. The untruthful and unjustifiable at tack upon John M. Clark Esq., in last week's Sentinel, in charging him with "fraudulently" re-casting the conven tion vote as Reading Clerk, was fully answered in The Columbian last week, in an article showing that his manner of stating the vote was exactly in accordance with what has always been the practice. The proceedings of the convention as printed year after year show this, and there is no getting away from it. The story is circulated that Senator Sawyer, of Wisconsin, has already con tributed $30,000 to the Harrison Cam paign fund, and that he has remarked that Wisconsin will not be a democrat ic state "as long as he has a bank ac count." When such men as Senator Sawyer become lightened at the pros pect of losing such a staunch republi can state as Wisconsin, how can the republicans have any hope of carrying a democratic state like New York, which has elected its democratic state officers for the last nine years. If they are frightened at Wisconsin, how will they stand in Illinois, Mr. Stevenson's own soil, and an exceedingly popular man in his own state. The names of Pennsylvania post offices have recently bean undergoing a transformation. According to an official statement recently put forth by the department at Washington, the names of a score or so of offices have been changed the last few months, the idea being to simplify the designation and to make them uniform so far as possible throughout the country. "Bor ough" becomes invariably ' boro" ac cording to Mr. Wanamaker's reform plan, '-burgh" "burg." The same ser les of changes have been going on all over the country, the desire being to simplify the direction of letters. There has also been an effort to make the names of railroad stations and post oftices the same. CAMPAIGN C0miEUTlCS3. a. I i or some tune past the .ew York. World has been earnestly calling attention to the capture of some of the Western States. Illinois, Wiscon sin, MinnisoU, Michigan, Iowa, Ne braska and Kansas are all debatable states, with a possibility of carrying them for Cleveland and Stevenson. In all of the above States in the Con gressional election of 1890 the demo crats elected over two-thirds of the members. The same issue, viz, Tariff Reform, lhat was used in the election of 1890 ill be used this fall. In order to prepare the people of these Western states for the elec tion this fall, it will be necessary to have speakers in every city and village and flood them with campaign litera ture. All this will require funds, and an enormous amount will !e needed. The New York World therefore, on Monday August 15th began the great and good work by the organization of a Democratic Campaign Fund, and Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the World headed the list with $10,000 ; C. II. Taylor, of the lioiton Globe followed with $i,coo, and W. M. Singerly, J'hilndtlphia Record, also 1,000. The Record has announced editorially that they will collect money from Pennsylvania and forward it. Do you as a Democrat or tariS re former approve the idea? Will ou help ? If so send a c-eck, a register ed lettet, a money-order or cash to the address given below. Also if con venient fill up the following blank, in order that your subscription may be acknowledged in the columns of The World: FOR THE WESTERN DEMO CRATIC CAMPAIGN FUND I contribute, Name Address Date Make checks and money orders payable to the Western Democratic Campaign Fund.

It will be used solely for legitimate campaign expenses, the chief object being to make certain that every citi zen of these doubtful States shall read and hear the truth a great education al work, in brief, in a great education al campaign. If the people will hereby respond to this call, a sufficient fund will soon be raised with which an educational campaign will be conducted in the western states and that will secure the election of Cleveland and Stevenson. The Columbian will gladly receive any contributions, and forward at once that each individual may have credit for the amount they may send. Who will be one of five hundred to send one dollar each. Send in your names and we will announce them in the Columbian as well as forward for an nouncement in the World. The contributions that may thus be sent ought not to retard the work in this State : but everv democrat should feel it a duty to see that his neighbors gci uui 10 vote ana vote lor Cleve land and Stevenson. With th e. cret ballot this fall we will have thous ands of laboring people vote with us, and if each one will do a little work we can put Pennsylvania in the long list of democratic states. Send in your contributions. According to a recent order of the Postmaster General, the Dostmisters of the County seats throughout the u nuea states are again required to inspect the postofhees in their respec tive counties between the 1st of Au gust and the 15th of December of this year. The questions required to be answered number nearlv one hundred. and cover "treatment of ordinary mail miner, ":posi-oince ooxes and box rent3." "special delivery." tree deliv ery," "registry business," "money order uusiness, -accounts," ana "miscella neous." To wash Silk Stockings use cold wajer and white soap, and wash only one at a time, as on no anennnt must they be allowed to lie in the water.

TH N7V 3ALL0T LAW. j HOW THE BALLOTS ARE TO i:K PRE PARED ANL VOTED AT 1HE COM IXti ELECTION. "A digest ol the Pennsylvania ballot law of 1891 fcr tne guidance of officials and voters, with explanatory notes," has been issued oy the State printer at Harnsburi. in declaring the j "right and duties of voters" it is ex plained: Only ten voters are allowed in the voting room at once outside the en closed space; and only four voters in excess of the number of compart ment are allowed inside the inclosed I space at once. v oters must go first to the officers in charge of the ballot, and state name and address. The right to vote must be proved and the voter al lowed to pass the guard rail before he can receive a ballot. Voters must prepare their ballots torthwu.i; and in the compartments. A cross (X) marked in the square at the right of a party name indicates a vote for all tne candidates of that party. A cross () maiked in the square at the right of the name of a candi date indicates a vote for the candi date. Crosses must be marked in the proper square only. If candidates of different parties are voted for, the squares at the right of the party name must be left bl tnk. Name must not be crossed out. Name must be inser edjin the prop er blank space only, and not in spaces where names are already printed. Names can be inserted by writing, hand stamping, sticker or any means not inlringing on the secrecy of the ballot, Names inserted can be marked, but this is not necessary. Names printed on the ballot must not be inserted- When candidate has died or with drawn and a substitute is nominated after the ballots are printed, the new name is to be printed on an official sticker. This should obviously be in serted over the name of the deceased or withdrawn candidate. Voters unable to prepare their own ballots can be helped to do so, but only in case of actual disability, which must be explicitly declared to the judges. To preserve order this should be done before the voter enters the en closed space. A voter desiring help must him self select another voter of the dis trict to help him A voter who receives such help without being actually unable to pre pare his ballot will be liable to indict ment for unlawfully showing his ballot. A voter who attempts to influence the vote of one whom he is helping will be liable to indictment for unlaw fully electioneering. A voter who in helping another prepare the ballot otherwise than as desired, will be liable to indictment lor forgery Ballot must be folded, so as to show only the indorsements. Where ballot has been spoiled ac cidently another can be obtained in its place on surrendering it. ino iianot, whether marked or not, can be taken from the room. As the constitution provides that every ballot "shall be numbered" in the order in which it shall be received each voter must give up his ballot to the inspector to number and deposit it as has been the rule here-to-fore. By the new law the inspector must, in the presence of the voter, fasten the corner securely down over the number, and the voter shall see that this is done, and that the ballot is then placed in the box. Challenges should be made before the voter receives hisballot,if possible, but may be made at any time before he cast it. Commencs Now- A little over two weeks yet remains until the last day for being assessed has reached us. Time waits for no man, hence every Committeeman should get to work at once and see that every voter is assessed and a tax been paid within two years. There is always a large list of 60 day voters, all of whose names must be upon the as sessor's book before September 8th. A vigilance Committee should be ap pointed in every district, whose imme diate attention should be given to see that every democratic voter is ready to vote and that no name is missed. We want every democrat to have a chance in the election of Cleveland and Stev enson. Tree Delivery. Mr. Parham, a post office official, recently visited Danville for the pur pose of inspecting the facilities for es tablishing a free Tetter delivery. The necessary requirements for free deliv ery are that a certain sum be realized from the post office each quarter, that the streets be well paved and the houses all numbered. If Danville can have a free delivery what is the matter with Bloomsburg. Our post office is certainly up to all the the requirements and a better pave I town can not be found. Be Snro You are Assessed. Every legal voter in Pennsylvania snould cnaive lnmseit with the dis charge o;' two duties between now and September 8 r.ext. He should see that his own name is on the Assessors' list and that any other names im properly there are erased. There is a copy of the assessment made in May hanging outside each polling place in the Mat;. 1 he Assessors will sit at the polling places September 7 and 8 to make the final corrections to the assessment list. Each voter should examine the list exposed in his own precinct at once to ascertain whether his own name is there, as well as to ascertain whether any voters have been improperly assessed from his own house or the houses of his near neigh bor with whom he is acquainted. There is ample time in which to do this between now and the last day in which assessments can be legally made, and to do it is the duty which every citizen owes to himself and to the country. The pres ent law in Te gard to assessments was carefully lramcd to prevent fraudulent voting, Under its provisions a" entire new assessment must be made every year, the assessors being required to make a house-to house visitation, putting only the names or those they find to be actual residents upon the assess ment roll. As the names must be placed upon the list in order of the street numbers and not in a'phabetical order, every householder who will take a little trouble in the matter can learn himself whether the a-sessment has been carefully and honestly made or not, and this he is bound in all honesty to do. This is a Presidential year and every citizen honestly entitled to vote should be on the assessment list and have his taxes paid in time to give him a legal right to vote. What is more he should pay his cwn taxes and own his own vote. As a preliminary to doing his full duty as a citizen he should make it a personal matter to know that lu is properly assessed. which he is required to be sixty days before the election. He should then pay his taxes in person at least thirty ciays oe lore the election, lhe new ballot law involves great change in the manner of voting, but the assess ment and tax provisions of the law are the same aj before and art im perative upon all who ant to vote. See to it that your are properly assess ed, and see to it at once. Tium. There is a great neglect of this im portant matter, and the whole burden usually falls upon the committee man who must either advance the mony to pay the taxes, on the promise o( returning it, or have the voter lose the vote. This fall we want everv vote to count, and each one ought to interest himself to see that his neighbor is entitled to vote, and mat no Iraudulant ones are on the registry list. Remember only two weeks more remains to attend to be ing assessed. The next President must be a democrat and Columbia County ought to give 3000 marjoity. Gladstone's Cabinet.

Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. Democratic Anconncemcct in the There is great significance in the circumstar.ee cf a delegation of Lutheran clctgymen from Wisconsin and Illinois calling on Chairman Harrity and assuring him of a wide spread disaffection of the Lutheran element in those States toward the Republican party. This element composed chiefly of Germans and Scandinavians, has for years been great support to that party in those States; but they have been repelled by the enactment of Re publican school laws that arbitrarily de prive them of parental control in the education of their children. They gave indication of their dissatisfaction at the last two elections, and now since the obnoxious laws are still supported by the Republicans, the Lutherans of those States will go al most in a body over to the democrats. In addition to this feeling, the sentiment in regard to high tarill has undergone a great change in those States, andjboth influences opeiating to gether justified the delegation in as suring Chairman Hatrity of the bright democratic prospects in Illi nois and Wisconsin. But these fair promises should only increase Demo, cratic effort to bring about their ful fillment by the fruition of victory.
