twins were beautiful and wished he
had two but that doesn't count.
He ask about the cornbread, which
he vainly tried to chaw, and forth
with begged for the recipe, of course
-that tickled ma but that doesn't
count. But just before he left he
stopped and winked, closed up his
jaw, and slipping out behind the
barn, he took a drink with pa and
that's what counts with some voters.

John Sherman, ex-Secretary of
the Treasury, and United States
Senator said:
"Eveiy advance toward a free
exchange of commodities is an ad
vance in civilization; every ob
struction to a free exchange is born
of the narrow despotic spirit which
planted castles upon the Rhine to
plunder peaceful commerce; every
obstruction to commerce is a tax
upon consumption; every facility to
a free exchange cheapens commod
ities, increases trade and production
and promotes civilization. Noth
ing is worse than sectionalism with
in a nation, and nothing is better
for the peace of nations than unre
stricted freedom of commerce aud
intercourse with each other.
The primary object of a protect
ive tariff is to invite the fullest com
petition by individuals .and corpo
rations in domestic productions.
If such individuals or corporation;!
combine to advance the price of
the domestic product, and -to pre
vent the free result ot open and
fair competition, I would, without
a moments hesitation, reduce the
duties on foreign goods competing
with them in order to break down
the combination. Whenever this
free competition is evaded or avoid
ed by combinations or corporations
the duty should be reduced and
loreign competition promptly m
vited."
It must be said that Cousin Matt
bears up exceedingly well under his
disappointment over the repeated
tauures 01 ballot reform.
A Republican View.
The Ilazlcton Sentinel, a staunch
Republican paper that is supporting
the Republican party ticket lrom
the governor down, has this to say
on the congressional contest in this
district:
The congressional election in the
Seventeenth district fa in full swing
and Mr. Godcharles, of Sunhnry,
will so organize the Republicans of
the four counties ns to ma'te the
best showing possible. It is a for
lorn hope however, ns was shown
in the election of Mr. Tolk, of Dan
ville, who won over Mr. Woodin,
of Berwick, by 2,300. The latter'i
vote was, in Northumberland
6,708, Columbia 3,584, Montour
92, Sullivan 1,203, ttal 12.487.
Mr. Polk's relative vote was 6,619,
4,767. 2,096, 1,310, total 14,792.
Mr. Woodin made as good a run,
resultant from a thorough canvass
as could be made, but he had never
theless to succumb to the inevita
ble in that overslaughed district.
This year it is with infinitely less
than the ordinary modicum of re
gret that we will contemplate de
feat, for the character ot the Demo
cratic candidate is so high, his man
hood and his conception of the
equities is so much above and be
yond the average, that he will rep
resent his district with distinct
credit and no detriment to the
general good or to present pros
perity. Mr. Dickerman, of Mil
ton, who is able and conscien
tious, ripened by age, broaden
ed by experience and applica
tion, will make an admirable repre
sentative and will command promi
nent plrce among the solid, con
servative men. What he has
achieved thus far has been due en
tirely to his own efforts. He in
herited those sterling traits of char
acter, hc.esty, integrity, sobriety
and determination, which are so
essential and they were his capital
when he began life as a school
teacher back in the early sixties.
His aim has always been to do
what he did right and to succeed
in everything lie undertook. He
made a good school teacher, and so
in all the pursuits he has followed
during his active life, first as a
bookkeeper, then as a coal mer
chant, later as manager of a large
slate company and finally as the
financial heid of the Milton Car
Co. Few if any men in the dis
trict have had a broader experience
or have ccme in personal contact
with so many of the prominent
leaders 111 business aud politics,
and with the same unostentatious,
detei mined effort that has ujraveled
the knotty problems arising in his
own career, he will labor 10 har
monize the conflicting interests of
his constituents to the eud that
equal and exact justice may be
done to all. Futile it is to hone
for a Republican member from the
Seventeenth district, and hence it
is with real pleasure that we make
the most of the occasion afforded to
speak thus of Mr. Dickerman.
It is an interesting question in
Republican political economy as to
which cosls more, the keeping out
of iail or an election to the Senate.

Your Reward Will Come lrom Heaven-
A few evenings ago a woman
called at a DuBois residence and
asked permission to leave a basket
there for a few minutes. Permiss
ion was given and when the
woman did not return the basket
was examined and found to con
tain a fine, healthy baby eirl
about a week old. A note reading
as follows was pinned to the child's
dress: "Please be a father and a
mother to this poor, little home
less baby and your reward will
come from heaven; for this has
been its mother's prayer for many
a night and it was the Lord's will
that it was sent here."
The lady with whom the baby
was left has no children of her own
and will keep and care for the little
waif.
