WASHINGTON.
our Refrular Correspondent.
Washington, Oct. nth, 1895.
President Cleveland will make a
short stay in Washington, as he is due
at the Atlanta Exposition next week.
When, he returns from Atlanta he will
settle down to the winter's work, and
he will find plenty of it on hand. In
addition to other important work
which he must take tip, he will have
on'y a little more than a month with
in which to write his annual message
to Congress, and it will probably be
one of the most difficult messages he
has ever had to write. The message,
although addressed to Congress, will
nal'y be written to the country, as
nobody knows any better than the
President that nothing short of over
whelming public sentiment will be
sufficient to make the republican
Congress accept his recommendations
as to legislations, however wise they
nay be.
When a man makes a gigantic ass
of himself the best thing he can do is
to keep quiet tbout it. Some men
don't know enough to do this. One
of them is Lord Sackville West, who
was British Minister to the United
States until -given his passport, in
1888, by Secretary Bayard, who acted
under the instructions of President
Cleveland, for havirtg allowed himself
to be trapped into writing a letter to
be used as a republican campaign
document. That Sackville should be
sore is natural. But in raking up the
whole business in a pamphlet publish
ed for, distribution among his friends
he has not vindicated himself; he
has only confirmed the previously held
opinion di him, and shewn that the
years which have passed since his
humiliating departure from America
have added nothing to his discretion.
The dime museum manager who of
fered him an engagement then would
be glil to give him double the money
now awl as a freak he would unques
tionably draw well.
Hon. Amos Cumminrs, able news
paper man, Tammany Democrat, and
all around good fellow, spent a day in
Washington this week. Everybody in
Washington will be glad when Amos
comes back to Congress, and, judg
ing from what he says, there is little
doubt of his coming. This is the way
he puts it : " My nomination for Con
gress to fill the vacancy in one of the
New York districts is, of course, a
subject of satisfaction to me. I feel
complimented, and, further, I feel
confident of being elected. There
seems to be no doubt of democratic
success in the city of New York ;
Roosevelt has made sure of that. It
now looks as if the democracy would
carry the district in which I run, as
well as the city of New York, by a
fair majority."
Kentuckians who come to Washing
ton all talk one way about the result
of the present campaign. Mr. W. N.
Cox, 01 Louisville, says : It takes
no prophet to tell what the result will
be. Hardin will be elected governor
by 25,000 .majority, and this is a con
servative estimate. Senator Black
bum is as good as re elected to suc
ceed himself. He is still making
speeches, but he might as well put a
stop to his oratory, for enough votes
to elect him have already been se
cured." Perhaps at is merely a coincidence,
but all the feme it is worthy ot more
than a passing notice that the arrival
of the new Hawaiian minister. Mr.
Castle, in Washington was very close
Iy followed by a sensational story
about the alleged designs whlcb Japan
has upon Hawaii, and the fears of the
present Hawaiian government that
those designs will be realized and the
islands be gobbled up by Japan. Last
year it was England that was frighten
ing the government of Hawaii. There
is just about as .much danger from
Japan now as these was from England
last ysar. Doubtless . either or brth
countries would be glad to have the
islands, but in view. of the very posi
tive declaration of Congress, that oo
foreign interference with Hawaii
would be tolerated by the United
States, it is not probable that either
of them has seriously .entertained any
designs upon the islands. If, as many
believe, these stories are set afloat by
those in the employ of the present
Hawaiian government far the purpose
of influencing public sentiment in this
country President Dole and his ad
visers are being misled.
Secretary Carlisle left Washington
to day for Boston, where he will de
liver a financial address before the
Reform Club Saturday night.
Senator Gorman's charge that the
republican candidates for governor of
Maryland was named for that position
by the B. & O. railroad is the politi
cal sensation of the week, and it has
mat Heritage of rich

greatly injured the chances of there
publican ticket in Maryland. Mr.
Gorman is not the man to make
charges unless fortified with the facts
to back them up. He knew what he
was talking about when he made that
charge, or he would not have made it;
and the Maryland voters may be trust
ed to do the rest. 1 he state will re

Deafness Uannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
there is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is bv constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless die inflamma
tion, can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever ; nine
cases out of ten are ccused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Captain Buckalew' Paper Bofore the Wy
oming Historical Society at Wilkes-Barre.
At a meet'ng of the Wjoming His
torical Society held in Wilkes-Barre
October 10th, Captain John M. Buck
alew, of Fishingcreek, this county,
read an interesting paper on historic
forts. Extracts from the paper giving
the sites of the forts were as follows:
Fort Augusta was buiit in 1756, at
the forks ot the Susquehanna, at pres
ent Sur.bury. It was built on lands
owned by the Jndians, whose title was
not extinguished until the Fort Stan
wix treaty of 1.768. It was from Fort
Augusta that Col. Hartley's expedi
tion to Queen Esther's town was plan
ned, resulting in the destruction of
the place and the defeat of the In
dians on the north branch above
Wilkes-Barre. It was here that Col.
Plunkett organized his expedition
against Wyoming.
Fort Jenkins was situated on the
Susquehanna, midway between pres
ent Berwick and Bloomsburg. It was
a log stockade built in 1777, garrison
ed by 30 soldiers. It was the centre
of numerous engagements with the
Indians.
Fort Wheekr was built on Fishing
creek, about three miles from its
mouth, by Lieut. Moses Van Campen,
the well known Indian killer. It was
here that in 17E0 his father, and Moses
Van Campen, Peter Pence and others
were taken prisoners by the Indians.
While in camp near Wyalusing the
prisoners succeeded in freeing them
selves and killing their savage but
sleepy captors.
Fort McClure, siturted about one
mile above the mouth of Fishingcreek,
at present Bloomsburg. It was built
by Lieut. Moses (Van Campen 1781,
as a support to Fort Wheeler.
Bosley's Mills, in the forks of Chil
isquaque creek, present Washington
ville, Montour .county. The mills
were stockaded and garrisoned.
Fort Freeland, -four miles east of
present Watsontown. Probably built
in 1777. Nearly all of the Freeland
family were killed by the Indians here.
The stockade was captured by a force
of 300 British and Indians in 1779.
Fort Rice at Montgomery's, built
in 1779. I' was well preserved to
this day, and was a formidable defense,
resisting in 1780 an attack of 300
British and Indians.
Boone's Mills, between Watsontown
and Milton, built And fortified by
Capt. Hawkins Boone, who was de
tached from duty with the Revolu
tionary army to assist in defending the
frontiers and who was killed by the
enemy.
Other forts touched on by Capt.
Buckalew were:
Fort Schwartz, near Milton.
Fort Menninger, in Union county.
Fort Brady, near Muncy.
Fort Muncy, near Hall's station.
Fort Antes, opposite Jersey Shore.
Fort Horn, near McElhattao.
Fort Reid, present Lock Haven.
Judge Woodward presided at the
meeting and a vote of thanks was ten

THE COLUMBIAN,
The State Campaign,
Although nearly a month intervenes
until November 5, election day, the
more rabid of the Republican party
organs have already declared to their
own satisfaction the ignominious de
feat of the entire State ticket by an
overwhelming majority, graciously,
however, granting to us the one mem
ber of the Superior Court bench which
is provided for by the alleged law
mai created this new tribunal. To
the shrewd observer of State aflairs
these extremelv nartisan rirncrnnslirn.
. ' f o
t'ons are humorous in no slight degree.
ine ciose political student recognizes
the fact that never in the history of
Pennsylvania did the Democracy have
a better opportunity to win, and it is
conceded by the fairminded of this
class that an energetic canvass for,
the balance of the campaign will!
bring out the full Democratic vote, 1
and this, aided by the independent
thinkers of the State, who are neither
ruled by the juniof United States
Senator or the Administration and
Philadelphia Combine contingent of
the Republican party, will place the
stamp of approval on the ticket select
ed at the Williamsport convention.
This conclusion has not been ar
rived at simply after a rapid glance
over the field, but the course of the
Republican party in this campaign
and its party organs plainly shows
that a Democratic victory is greatly
feared by them. It has no doubt
been noticed that during the few
weeks of this campaign already passed
the Republican party organs, always
so eager to enter into a campaign of
mud slinging and defamation of char
acter, have confined themselves al
most ientirely to discussing and laud
ing reform propositions that were pro
mulgated by their State Chairman,
who -heretofore has been the thorn in
the side of a 1 Republican party re
formers. The make up of the Demo
cratic State ticket has been left
severely alone, simply for the reason
that to have said anything but that
which was good would have endanger
ed ny chance of Republican victory.
The record of the last session of the
StateJegislature is still green in the
memories of the voters of the Com
monwealth, and from a Republican
standpoint it would have been suicidal
to.have entered into a campaign that
would have taken for its text the
record of the Republican party of the
State during the past year. Attempts
have been made to ring the changes
on the time-worn doctrines and
pledges of their party, but these fall
very flat when there is so much mater
ial that could be analyzed with profit
to the State and interest to the tax
payers. It would never have done to
refer to any recent exploits of the
party, for the reason that it would be
followed by a general expose of mis
management and gross expenditure
of public funds. For that reason the
candidacy of Hon. (Benjamin F.
Meyers is looked upon with a serious
ness that is truly flattering to the
minority party. It has been noticed
througe the length and breadth of
the State that while such reputable
and conservative newspapers as the
Public Ledger, of Philadelphia, and
others of equal merit have been
severely scoring the administration of
thetfinancial affairs of the Common
wealth, and condemning the manner
in wmcn me itinas ot the people have
been -squandered by a profligate Legis
latuse and officials who
for ,the purpose of gaining selfish
pariy enas, , me administration of the
Treasurer's office has been in tli
direct charge and management al-
most .exclusively ol the Republican
candidate for Treasurer, as it is a well
known fact that Treasurer Ta
has spent very little of his time in the
department during his term. Is it
any wonder Ahat Under thrsi rnnrli.
tions a man with such an enviable
record as Mr. Meyers should be
feared by both factions of the Republi
can party machine ?
As for the ludeeshin rnnrpef ! i
pretty nearly understood that the
people of the State will vote in nh
way as to show their condemnation of
tne aisgracetui lactional fights in the
Republican Daitv and the
proceedings that led to the creation
01 mis court, ihe six honorable
and distinguished jurists placed in
nomination bv the Democratic
came before the people in an honest,
siraiijnuorwarci and learless manner,
backed only by their reputations as
lawyers and Judges and the knowl
edge that they were sate in the hands
of the people. The character of the
office does not admit of anv nersnnal
campaign, but it is not necessary in
hub case. 11 is suincient tor the peo
ple to know the motive that made the
Court, and they also know that the
oniy way mey can rebuke selfish party
leaders is to elect the members of the
minority ticket having clean records
and nominated in a thoroughly har
monious and representative conven
tion. Some of the ultra Protectionist
organs have reached the conclusion
that the tariff cuts no figure in the
campaign. They were never more
mistaken in their lives. The Wilson
tariff measure is verv mnrh in Kuirionm
this year. The noise and bustle of
increased industry are heard on every

hand, and the benefit of increased
wages is being felt too well to give
the voters any chance to lose sight of
the wise administration of the Demo
cracy. The people were hasty last
year. Their eyes are open, and they
are now able to sift the wheat from
the chaff and will not be fooled longer
by empty assertions and impossible
prophecies. With the facts before
them, they cannot fail to see the
justice of supporting the Democratic
ticket in its entirety.
The cry of non partisanship in the
Common Pleas Judges' contests
throughout the State is being raised
by some Republican organs. They
still cling to the idea of electing all of
their six candidates for Superior
Court Judue. Theirs is, certainly a
one-sided non-partisan scheme.
A OATSKILL "HOTEL MAN.
(From Catsklll N. Y JJwortier.)
Mr. Joseph McGiffet, one of our
prominent hotel proprietors, has rea
son to extol the merits of Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. In
speaking of it he said : " I was all
run down from kidney and liver trou
ble, thrse physicians treated me but I
grew worse. A friend said to me.
Why don t you take Dr. Kennedys
Favorite Remedy? It cured me.' So
I began its use the result was I gained
daily, and in a little while I was
sound and well again. I suppose I
have recommended it to a hundred or
more of my summer boarders, and in
every instance it has done them good."
