VOL 29 RANDOMREMARKS ' Under the above title in a recent issue of Tub Columbian, we read: "That a place the Rize of Hloomsburg should be without free delivery of mail is. quite a reflection upon the land of the free." That any portion of our American citizens are entitled to such u privilege, to the exclusion of all the rest, is not only a reflection up on the land of the free, but a base usurpation ' of power of privileged c'asses against the rights and immuni ties of the masses. We boast of our American liberties. But the table that is spread for the feast of her citi zens is so arranged that, while fish and meat are devoured by the classes, the bones and crumbs are thrown to the masses. It is not only so in reference to free mail delivery, but in every de partment that distinguishes the classes above the masses. The masses of our people to-day suffer as great grievances against the privileged class es as the masses suffered in the Colon ial times against the mother country. But this is no fault of the Constitution our ."hagna Charter" but the fault of those in whom we confide to make our laws to apply equally to all in their benefits ; but who not only be tray their trusts, but also their consti tuency, whom they ought to serve in stead of selling them to the plutocrats like a horde of slaves. The mutterings and thunderings are heard in every nook and corner ; the signs are clear and unmistakable of the coming storm, and one of the greatest i evolutions of the age, (blood less we hope) will burst upon the country and sweep to oblivion the dis tinction of privileges between the classes and the masses as effectually as it did in the war of the late rebel lion between master and slave. If a citizen anywhere in the United States is entitled to any certain privilege, another citizen anywhere else in the United States is entitled to the same privilege, regardless of "race or color, or previous condition of servitude. I believe that law and privilege should app'y equally to all. And why should they apply to some to the exclusion ot others because of the condition of convenience ? We might as well have two governments, one to apply to one class of citizens and the other to apply to other classes. The government de mands the same allegiance from the rural people as she demands from the city people, and why should the govern ment not serve them in like manner and without partiality ? J. C. Wenner. The point of the correspondent is well taken by the writer of "Random Remarks" referred to, since he is in entire sympathy with the suffering masses as against the luxuriating class es. And yet he greatly fears the time will never come while we are in this vale of tears, whether in the land of the free, or elsewhere, when class dis tinctions will not prevail to greater or less extent. We can only hope to have a foretaste here of heaven by en deavoring to approximate equity and exact fairness. Assist. Ed. ANOTHER SNUB OF 00XEY. Anticipating the arrival of the rear guard or the left wing of the Coxey-anti-tariff-reform movement upon the Capitol, Senator Quay, on the 15th inst. made another lengthy contribu tion to our cumbersome tariff litera ture. Wanting to say considerably more than he could on the subject, he read at them for two hours from sta tistics presumably dry as such statis tics generally are. It is more than probable that the sedate Senators, sitting for two hours under the melli fluous voice of Quay, got a little dry themselves. For effect stronger than his monotonous argument might prove the honorable Senator asked the privilege of the floor of the Senate on Friday in order to receive a delega tion of 100 representatives of working men in opposition to the tariff reform. Having reduced his proposition to a resolution it was punctually laid on, or under the table as being unpreceden ted in the history of the Senate. T. M. 0, A.

William Bryson, attorn ey-at-law, died at his residence on Thursday at noon of heart disease. He has been ill for several weeks and on several occasions his condition was so low that he was supposed to be dying, but each time he rallied. Last Monday he had recovered so far as to be able to ride out and his friends supposed that he was out of danger, at least for the present, but on Wednesday night he grew worse, and on Thursday morning his sufferings at intervals were so ex treme as to almost drive him frantic. He ate a lunch at noon, and was sit ting on the bedside talking when he suddenly threw up his arms and fell back dead. His death, while not a surprise, was a great shock to his wife, who has been his constant comn.mion in hia illncs and whose loving heart was wrung with the knowledge of his awful suffering, for which there seemed to be no relief. Funeral services were held at his late residence last evening, and this morn ing the body was taken to Reading, Fa., for interment. He was born at Minersville, Schuyl kill county, Pa., June 13, 1849. He was a friend and schoolmate of George W. Boyd, assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania railroad, and of George 1). McCreary, treasurer of Philadelphia. He graduated in com pany with Col. John A. Spangler at Cickinson Seminary, Williamsport, Pa., studied law with Hon. Charles R. Buckalew, and was admitted to prac tice in Columbia connty. He was twice elected to the legislature in Columbia county. In 1873 he was married to Miss Mary Hemeright, who died the following year, leaving him a daughter, Mary, who lives with her maternal grandmother, at Ashland, Pa. In 1886 he came to Philipsburg to administer the estate of his brother, James, who died here. He was pleased with the place and people and decided to re main and open a law office, which he did. He was an able attorney and found plenty to do. Three years ago he was married to Miss Louisa Schroeder, of Reading, who survives him with one child, a beautiful boy 2 years old. His other living relatives are his mother, his brother, Robert, and his sister, Mrs. Con Burns, all of Burnside, Pa. In appearance Mr. Bry son was a large, well built, fine look ing man, deliberate in his manner, careful and thoughtful in his speech. He was warm hearted and kind, and no one ever saw him lose his temper, no matter what the provocation. He was generous, charitable and forgiving, and while not a man to make ac quaintances freely, and had but few intimate friends, yet his death is deeply regretted by the community in general, and the few who were on terms of close intimacy with him will lament his death greatly, and remember him with fondness. The warmest sympathy of the people will go out to the be reaved wife and child who are alone among strangers. Mrs. Bryson's sister, Mrs. D. H. Keller, of Bellefonte, is in the south with her husband, who is an invalid, which makes the situation even more desolate for Mrs. Bryson, who will feel the need of a sister to comfort her in her distress. He was a member of Centre Coun cil, No. 803, Royal Arcanum, and Captain J. H. Boring and Thomas Norris, representing Centre Council; accompanied the body to Reading. J'hilipsburg Ledyer. BMALL-POX AT TEASDALE. Small-pox has broken out at Lee or Teasdale, between here and Glen Lyon. There are now twelve well developed cases. , The disease came from Danville and was carried by William B. Williams who was called to Danville to attend the funeral of his mother. Upon the first appear ance of the disease the doctor called it "grip rash." Before its danger be came known a number of people were exposed. Supt. Williams, of the Newport Coal Company, fearing that there might be something more ser ious the matter, notified the Overseer of the Poor to investigate. He was not able to do so, but Supervisor Walp acted in his stead. Drs. Sur.tee, of Wapwallopen, Davis, of Glen Lyon, and McKeage, of this place, made an examination and pronounced it small pox. The patients were at once quar antined and placed under armed sen tinels who had instructions to allow none but authorized persons to go in and out The twelve cases are located as follows : William B. Williams, wife and child. Edward Reese, wife and two child ren. William Burke and one child. Mrs. George Cox and two children. Mountain Echo. ULOOMSBUKG, PA., BRIEF MENTION About Pooplo You Know.

Other so-called Eye Glass Fakirs. Sharpers are traveling through this country selling so called gold eye glass es for amounts ranging from fifty cents up to $2. The bunco man exhibits a pair of spectacles which, he claims, are gold framed. He says that he has found them, and as they are of no use to him he will dispose of them at a small price, finally selling them for vhat he can get. The spectacles prove to be made out of window glass, and the frames washed with some gilt pre paration. Many farmers of this county have fallen easy victims to the sharp ers.

There is but one safe way for p;ople who need glasses, and that is to go to some reliable optician and have the eyes properly tested. The kind the fakirs sell for $1.50 to $3.00, cost nineteen cents, and are utterly worth less. Even the Susquehanna has taken a recent boom, as if to encourage the deliberately indolent. i , ji
