FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1894.
STATE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
For Congress-at-Large.
James Denton Hancock,
of Venango County.
The Senate on Monday night re
fused to confirm the appointment of
W. B. Hornblower, of New York, as
an Associate Justice of the U. S. Su
preme Court, by a vote of 30 to 24.
He was opposed by Senator Hill.
mm
Ex-banker Rockafellow of Wilkes-
barre, who was recently convicted of
embezz'ement, and sentenced to two
Jears in the penitentiary, has been re
eased on bail, his case having been
appealed to the Supreme Court, where
it will be argued in April.
It required but the distinguished
assurance of Ex Governor Beaver that
the Democrats were not responsible
for the wave of business depression,
inasmuch as the wave in question
came along in the periods when such
things happen, and the assurance that
Democratic policy must deal with a
situation created by a Republican ad
ministration is very good for Ex Gov
ernor Beaver to assume as the truh
because it is the truth. Ex-Governor
Beaver is quoted as saying: "It would
have come anyhow, and if Harrison
had been elected it might have been
even worse." This is startling and
has all the effect ot a pyrotechnic
without the drop. Between Carnegie
and Beaver the organs have a jolly
time just now. Let the panorama of
truth roll on. Times.
Protection, in its death throes be
comes desperate in its dying agonies.
Its gasping breath is putrid with the
corruption of its internal and external
rottenness. Fear of eternal oblivion,
without hope of resurrection makes it
all the more defiant in its demands (or
a new lease of life. The following
waves of despairing breath but voice
the judgments pronounced against it :
"Send a postal card to your mem
ber of Congress to day, urging him
to vote against the Wilson Free
Trade larlff The sole cause of
hard times and its attendant misery
is the Wilson Free Trade Tariff.
Defeat this and the wheels of trade
and industry will quickly revolve as
usual. The Free Traders don't like
postal card protests." A package of
the above cards was received at the
Cambra post office last Tuesday night.
A postal card wa3 received by a
farmer at Bendertown, dated Phila
delphia, Jan 19, 1S94, as follows:
"I have your inquiry cf January 4th
in reference to the price of woo'. T
think you had better address your in
quiry to some of the dignitaries of
Washington. It is more within their
line." "W. A."
Yours truly,
Wilmer Atkinson Co."
The farmer referred to never made
any inquiry in reference to wool. He
never kept any sheep. Down with
the robber tariff, that is what was
voted for that is what Congress svas
commissioned for. The crusade
against the Wilson bill is only an old
trick. The Wilnon bill is the pivotal
point of democratic life and supre
macy. Its failure means eternal death
to the democratic organization.

To preserve a youthful appearance
as long as possible, it is indispensable
that the hair should retain its natural
co'or and fullness. There is no prep
aration so effective as Ayer's Hair
Vigor. It prevents baldness, and keeps
the scalp clean, cool, nnd healthy.
Grow and tlio Populists.
THE PEOPLE'S PARTY SAY THE CON
GRESSIONAL CANDIDATE IS ONE
OF THEM.
Have the Republicans of the State
nominated a Populist for Congress
man at Large ?
The Populists claim that Galusba
A. Grow is one of tl eir own people
and that he has gone back on them
awfully to accept the Republican nom
inatiom The Populists are going to
wage an earnest fight against him now
that he has left them.
During the fall campaign last year
Galusha A. Grow, not having done
any active work in the RpnuMimn
ra'iks for something like twelve vpara
on account 01 nis oisagreement with
Senator Quay and other great Repub
lican leaders, was in sympathy with
the efforts of the Farmers' Alliance
and the People's party.
He made speeches for the Alliance
and showed every indication of belief
in the principles of their party. It
was over one of these meetings that
the Populists and Grow fell out. Gro
promised to speak at a meeting ,t
Scra-non. 1. ,,;.; id'er!.-cl tvl owl
.k k ivann;! county and - e.it excu -rr.eit
prevaiV-l owr wlvn was tcrtn-.-l
his cu'iversio-, to !;io 1 oiulisl luih.
This att.ai:iel t:ie attention 01 tiic
big Republican leaders, and they
flocked to Grow and finally brought
so much piessure to bear upon him
that he backed out of the meeting at
the eleventh hour and iwctcnded to
have misunderstood the object of the
meeting.
These facts came out in Pittsburg
lately Chairman Thompson. of
Indiana, one of the leading populist
men of the State, came there to con
fer with C. A. Burrows and J. H
Stevenson, the leaders of the Popu
list party in this end of the State.
Thompson brought with him a let
ter from V. H. Thompson, Populist
chairman of Lackawanna connty, to
gether with original letters to them
from Galusha A. Grow regarding the
meeting in Scranton. In the letter
W. H. Thompson says, under date of
January 4th. 1894. that E. G. Warden,
a candidate last fall tor Commissioner
of Lackawanna county on the Popu
list ticket, asked Grow to come and
speak for him. Grow had previously
spoken m rarmcrs Alliance meetings
and promised Warden he would help
him. arden and two friends called
on Grow.
"Are you familiar with the princi
ples of the People's party platform ?"'
asked Mr Warden. "I am fully ac
quainted with it," answered Mr. Grow,
and I expect to make a speech of an
hour and a half on the lines laid down
in it."
Then, in reply to a letter asking
him to fix a date for the meeting. Mr.
Grow wrote, under date of Glenwood,
Pa., September 19th 1893, to E. G.
Worden :
Dear Sir : Yours at hand. I would
speak for you at a meeting in Scran
ton next month (provided the meeting
is in doors), and before you fix the
day positive you let me know so I
would say whether I could attend that
day. If beforehand you arrange
about the time you would like to have
a meeting and let nie know, I would
write you then and agree on some day
that would suit me, and then you
could rely on me being there sure. I
have never yet flailed to be on hand
at any meeting where I had promised
to go. Yours truly, etc.
'1 he meeting was fixed for October
5th and so advertised. Then the let
ter continues, a meeting of Republi
can leaders was held in Scranton and
Grow summoned. When he came
out he declared he thought he was to
address a Republican mtetinp, and
under the circumstances could not
speak to Populists. Mr. Thompson
says in his letter he has Grow's letter
in his possession.
Nearly all women have good hair,
though many are gray, and few are
bald. Halls Hair Renewer restores
the natural color, and thickens the
growth of the hair.
OLD TIMES AND NEW.
"No man after having tasted old
wine straightway desireth new, for he
saith the old is better." The above
quotation I presume stat:s a fact. My
own experience with eitner out or new
wine is not sufficient to warrant me in
expressing an opinion as to the merits
or demerits of either. There is a class
of people who, whether lovers of old
wine or not, seem to think that old
times were better than the present.
J hey never weary of telling us
)oung people about the good old times
when they were boys and cms. Hon
esty, virtue and morality was then the
rule and not the exception as at the
present day. 1 hey even go so far at
taxing our crcdulty as to tell us, that
politicians were then honest.
People holding those opinions are
generally old enough to be able to a
certain extent to speak from exper
ience in those matters, and it would
therefore seem like presumption for a
young chap li!;e me to contradict
thorn.
The feeling that the past was better
than the present seems to be as old as
the history of our race. The Israelites
when journeying through the wilder
ness to the promised land, longed for
the flesh pots of Egypt. When bat
tling for possession of the land, they
thought it had been better for them, if
they had been 'eft to die in the wilder
ness. Those who see no good in the pres
ent, and no prospective good in the
future,
Arc inclined "to mourn for the days
that are gone,
When a noble could do as he pleased
with his own j
When the stealers of sheep and the
slayers of men,
Were hanged up together again and
again."
I think, that if rome of our octoge
narians could be turned back to their
boyhood days, and have to tramn out
their wheat with their horses, or beat
it out with a poverty club and then
cart it over the mountains to Kastnn
in order to find a market, they would
conclude that the old times were not
quite perfect. They would long for
some of our modern improvements
quite as earnestly as the Israelites
longed for the flesh pots of EevDt.
The careful student of history who
is at the same time a close observer of
the present, will conclude, thit neither
the past nor the pit-sent is tjnitc per
feet. I K cl reri.im, ili 1'. so: mod
em r.nuv Ui.j.n have inn btci aw im
pruv'.metu upmi the oi l stjlj. Soni
thin.;s tint have been !.ne orsugge-t-I
:m hiipuivoiiients, h.u h-d me to
ado,.t as a p.ut of my creed tlis lan
guage of a certain poet, viz :
"I am thankful that the sun and moon
Are both hung up so high,
That no presumptuous hand can stretch
And pull tli im from the sky
If they were not, I have no doubt,
That some reforming ass
Would recommend to take them down,
Aud light the world with gas."
Airong some of the modern inno
vations which by some have been ad
vocated as improvements upon the old
style, I will mention the protective tar
iff. Our Republican friends have
been tinkering at that for about thirty
years; but just at the time they sup
posed they had brought it to the high
est degree of perfection, t"iat it was
possible for finite minds to compass j
the people or a majority of them, be
came so disgusted with their work,
that they turned them off, and got a
new set of hands to overhaul their
work, a- d try to turn out something,
that would benefit the whole ncoole.
and not merely a few favorites who
have generally shown both the disposi
tion and ability to take care of them
selves What those new hands will do is
still an open question, but they are
not unaware of what the people mav
do if they fail to do their work in a
proper manner.
On the question of tariff, all honest.
we 1 informed men will auree. that the
old style is better than the new
That is a tariff for revenue only, is
better than the more modern idea of a
tariff for protection.
If it were possible to frame a tariff
bill that would protect alike all classes
of our citizens, those who are now so
anxious for protection, would clamor
as loudly against its passage, as tluy
now do against a reduction of duty,
where they are the chief or only bene
ficiaries. Such tariff as mentioned above
would give those protectionists no ad
vantage over their fellow men, and
would therefore be distasteful to them.
They have always been opposed to
anything that did not put money in
their own pockets. C.
To TtBt the Lottery Law.
Fied Price, a Wilkes Barre hotel
keeper, was taken before the mayor of
that city on Friday for violating the
lottery law and was placed under $300
bail for his appearance at court. The
complaint was made by Officer Scuhler,
who swore that he went into the hotel
and bought a ten cent cigar and re
ceived two tickets from the bartender
that entitled him to two chances on a
gold watch which would be drawn for
on Saturday night. The ofheer did
not win the watch but next day ordered
Price before the mayor. Mr. Price
said tha; he did no morethan many
other business men were doing in that
city, but the mayor thought it ha.' a
tendency to draw young men to his
bar to spend their money and placed
him under bail.
The lottery law seems to be a
dead letter as it is being violated in
almost every town in the state. It is
well a test case is being made to
see whether the law can be enforced.
