The Army of the Unemployed.
Among those of our readers who
are disposed to "seek the truth" there
may perhaps be some who will volun
teer an answer to the question so
squarely put by Mr. Miller, "What
shall be done with the unemployed?"
on the second page.
We should be glad indeed to pub
lish a complete and satisfactory ans
wer to that most perplexing of ques
tions, but unfortunately it is much
easier asked than answered. There
is altogether too much truth in the
statements made by Mr. Miller to be
at all pleasant to the reader.
It is a lamentable fact that in every
section of our country the army of the
unemployed is steadily increasing in
numbers and in the intensity of its
demands. We do not undertake to
furnish an answer to this question,
nor do we reproduce the answer which
he himself gives, preferring to lay his
query before our readers and await
their reply.
It, however, is entirely safe to pre
dict that if a satisfactory solution is
not soon reached the question will be
not, What shall society do with the
unemployed? but rather, What will
the unemployed do with our modern
society ?

Man's View ,
Of Marriage.
"IS MARRIAGE A
FAILURE?" "
It Is not uncommon for men to bewail ths
fact that marriage so seldom means a real
companionship that man and wife are
separated by difference of taste, of mental
outlook, of general interest in life. It is
rerhaps even more common to hear women
blamed for what is called breach of contract
in the marriage relation. If the wife be
delicate, run-down, nervous and irritable,
if her smile and her spirits have taken
flight, it worries her husband as well as
herself. Even worse symptoms may fol
low the woman suffers from sleeplessness
and fainting spells, her head is in a whirl,
her back aches, and she has that awful
crowding-down feeling in the abdomen. It
depends on the woman whether she will
permit these troubles to Continue day by
day leading to a life of misery."
Thousands have been cured by taking Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and why not
?'ou ? A healthy woman is always interest
ng ; she passes for a beauty because she is
happy, and her good spirits are contagious.
Good nature goes with health ; irritability
and peevishness with sickness.
Those who suffer from the derangements,
disorders and diseases of the sex should re
member thnt Dr. K. V. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has, for
over a quarter of a century, made the dis
eases of women a specialty. Send 10 cent
(in stamps) to him, at above address, for
his medical book on " Women and Her
Diseases," (168 pages profusely illustrated
with wood cuts and colored plates). It will
be mailed to you securely sealed in a plain
envelope. It contains photographs, names
nna addresses ot a vast number who have
been cured. You can correspond with
them and learn how they cured themselves
without having to consult a doctor.

The Annual Meeting of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life
Association was held in the Association's Building, corner
Broadway tfcDuane St., New York City, on Wednesday, Jan
uary 22nd, and was attended by a large and representative
gathering of policy holders who listened with keen interest to
the masterly Annual Report of President Burnhara.
Many policy holders evidently regarded this as a favorable
opportunity to meet face to face the new chief executive officer
of the Association, President Frederick A. Burnham, the man
whose grasp of life insurance, whose keen executive ability and
strong individuality have enabled him to take up the work laid
dewn in death by the founder of the institution, the late Ed
ward B. Harper, and make of the administration of his office of
President, not an echo or copy of that of his predecessor, but a
piece of finished work, characteristic of a man of independent
views, and worthy to follow the work which had carried the
Association to a position never attained in the same length of
time by any life insurance organization in the world. It is
rare, indeed, that a great institution like this passes, without
check to its prosperity, through a change in the executive chief,
for it is rare indeed that a chief like the Jate Mr. Harper finds
so able a successor as President Burnham.
The record of the year 1895 speaks for itself, and shows the
following gratifying results.
The GROSS ASSETS have increased during the year
from $5,530,115.99 to $5,001,707,82. 3
The NET SURPLUS over liabilities shows a NET GAIN
for the year of $300,329.43, and now amounts to $3,582,509.32.
INCOME from all sources shows a gain for the vear
of $031,541.97, and amounts to $5,575,281.50.
. , DEATH CLAIMS to the amount of $4,084,07192 were
?nioUr?Jhe year' an crease over the previous year of
!&1 013,500. 91. J
r ,- ooBBINE,SS IN F0IlCE stows a Rain for the year
ot !Jlo,JJo,JGo, and now amounts to $308,059,371.
Counting three hundred working days in the year the
dmly average income for 1895 is $18,584.27; the daily average
payments for death claims, $13,052.25, and the daily average
gain in business in force within a fraction of $51,00().

Marking Ballots.
The voter in Bloomsburg ' obliged
to exercise unusual care in the mark
ing of his ballots at the February
election. This grows out of the pe
culiarities of the cumulative system of
voting. The law is as follows :
" Where a voter is entitled to cast
more than one vote for a single can
didate, he shall place in the square
instead of a cross x a number which
shall indicate the number of votes to
be counted for the candidate whose
name is so marked."
In order therefore to vote the ticket
as nominated at the Tuesday night
caucus you will prepare your ticket as
follows: Place a cross x in the
circle at the head of the column and
then place the figure two a in the
square after the names of Gorry, Kun
kle, and Yost for council, after the
name of Kleim for School Director
and after the name of Knorr for con
stable and the figure one and one half
ij after the names of Yost and
Freeze for auditor. Such marking
will make a complete, straight ticket
as nominated at the Democratic cau
cus. You can divide your votes for
councilmen as follows : Cast six for
one man, three for each of two, two
for each of three, one and one half
for each of four and one for each of
six. For School director and con
stable you may cast two votes for one
candidate or one for each of two. For
auditor you may cast three votes tor
one, one and one-half for each of two
or one for each of three.
But when you wish to distribute
your vote in any other manner than
we have indicated for a straight ticket
you should not place a cross x in
the circle at the head of the ticket.
The cross x in the ciicle indicates
that you desire to cast one vote for
each candidate in the list where there
is no number placed in the square.
Thus you will observe ; if I should
place the cross x in the the circle
and then place the figure six 6 af
ter the name of Gorry, I would be
casting one vote also for Kunkle and
V ost which would be eight votes for
Council, two more than I am entitled
to and the board would be obliged to
ignore the six and count only one for
each candidate. Such marking would
not destroy the whole ticket but only
such portions of it where I had mark
ed more votes than I am entitled to
or where 1 had distributed them un
lawfully, as for instance giving four
votes to one councilman and two to
another. A little care at this point
will prevent any mistakes in the baliot.
Search the
Universe.
