In the intensity of their desire to injure Schley, the virulent news paper allies of the Bureau of Defa mation do not hesitate to turn upon the hero of Manila Bay and rend him for daring to state the fact that Schley won the battle of Santiago. The New " York Sun, whose ani mosity toward Schley is so pro nounced as to be inexplicable on any other theory than tnat of a private grievance unknown to the public, attempts to show that there is a political combination between Schley and Dewey, and insinuates that Dewey's position in the con troversy was determined by his Presidential aspirations. Schley, says that paper, is being boomed as a candidate for President on the strength of Dewey's verdict, and his "political henchmen are willing to promise Dewey second place on the Schley Presidential ticket if he will stick to his expressed intention not to open his mouth in explana tion of what he meant and what he did not mean." Dewey and Schley are the only living admirals of the American navy who have fought and won battles at sea. And this is how we honor them! Envy and malice are permitted 10 tear the victors' laurels from their brows and crown them with thorns. But in attributing discreditable motives to Dewey, in their insane rage against Schley, these foolish journals reveal their inability tp be just, and so defeat their own ends. They have gone farther than the people can be de luded into following. The attempt to boom Schley for President is folly, and only a few overheated enthusiasts are concern ed in it. Admiral Dewey probably was cured of his Presidential dis temper long ago. But even if both admirals cherished political aspirations, the attempt to make that fact the basis of miserable in sinuations against Dewey's honesty of purpose would be detestable to every decent American. North American. Dickerman in UoDgreusional Race. Since the announcement that Harry Davis, of Sunbury, is a can didate for the Democratic nomina tion for Congress to succeed Rufus K. Polk, friends of ex-County Chairman Charles Dickerman, of Milton, are unusually active in booming the latter. Although Davis was a leading candidate the last time Polk ran tor the nomination, shrewd politicians think Dickerman at least has the better pull this time for the conftr rees from Northumberland, Sulli van, Columbia and Montour coun ties, providing the present Con gressman decides not to try for re election and throws his influence to Dickerman" If Polk tries again for the office he will likely win the nomination on account of the rivalry bound to result if Dickerman and Davis decide to stay in the fight to a finish. Polk is popular with the rank and file of his party. The Lackawanna county court has very wisely decided that pros ectitdrs who bring trivial charges and fail to substantiate them must in the future pay the costs or go to jail. 27.8I2.SS 113.9S4.37 $677,572.65 LIABILITIES.

The action of the convention of the Federation of Labor at Scranton in adopting a resolution pledging the Federation to do everything possible to prevent the passage through Con gress of an anti scalping bill was not a very creditable performance. There was vigorous opposition to the reso lution, one of the delegates telling of a case where forty -five thousand tick ets had been forged on one railroad and sold by scalpers. Onlv a few davs ago a ticket scalper in Washing ton sold to a stranger a ticket on th Baltimore and Onio Railroad and took the man's last dollar for the tick et, but when the man presented th ticket to go on tne train it was promptly taken up as illegitimate The ticket scalper refused to refun the money, and the man was unabl to gel home. That is only one of many similar cases reported almost every day. Th ticket the scalper so'd was a nontrans terable ticket and had been issued to a person whose name was written on the ticket. But the unsuspecting man who purchased the ticket was inform ed that the conditions printed on th ticket were of no account, though th man soon found to the contrary. And yet that is the kind of business the Federation of Labor pledges itself to sustain. The one great thing the Federation contends for is regularity, and a work man who does not conform to the re quirements of the Federation is ostra cized. But the Federation puts itself on record in favor of ticket scalpers, whose entire business consists of try ing to avoid the law and the regula tions of the railroad companies re garding the sale of their tickets. Stale Senator Tanquray, of Colorado, one of the delegates in the Scranton con vention, who vigorously opposed the resolution, wisely told the Federation that it was treading on dangerous ground in seeking to make the fight of the ticket scalpers its own. The Federation could hardly do a worse thing for itself than to enter into out side matters of that kind. Editorial in Philadelphia Press, December 14. Do Visitors at State Hospital- Dr. Meredith, superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane at Danville, gives notice that owing to the prevalence of smallpox through out the State and in neighboring towns, and imminent danger of intro ducing the dread disease, by indiscrim inate visiting, into the State Hospital for the Insane, at Danville, Pa., it has been decided to close the doors to both general visitors and those com ing to see their friends, and further minimize the danger, by requiring all patients applying for admission to have been under close inspection under such conditions as to insure freedom from contagion for a period of two weeks ; a physician s certificate, set ting forth a strict compliance with this rule, to accompany the papers ot ad mission. Supt. Mayberry will enforce the same restrictions at Retreat. Bronchitis " I have kept Ayer'g Cherry Pec toral in my house for a great many years.

Only One Country in the World Where m Kings Daughter ana sons waynuioe Found. The silver Maltese crss with the three letters " I. II. N." is so general ly worn throughout this land that one seeing it seldom stops to think of its wonderful spread to all parts of the world. It is a fact, however, that there is only one country in all the earth where it has not yet made its way. That is Thibet. It is also inter esting to know that in nearly every land where this crosi is worn the wearers may read their president's helpful words in an American maga zine, The Ladies' Home Journal. Mrs. Bottome's presidency has seen great things come to pass in the history of The King's Daughters and Sons. In the fourteen years of the society's existence it has founded and maintained between three and four hundred helpful institutions. It has built, and helped to build, churches, hospitals, asylums, orphanages, kinder gartens, nurseries, and homes for the afflicte 1 and homeless. Its unsectar ian nature has nude great results possible. Mrs. Isabella Charles Davis, cor responding secretary and treasurer of the Order, recently made a trans continental tour of visitation of the state and provincial branches in this country and Canada. She found everywhere remarkable evidences of growth and strength, and the general increase of members indicates an organization of mightier influence for good than could have been dreamed of a few decades back.
