All communications should be addressed THE COLUMBIAN, Bloomsburg, Fa. THURSDAY, JUNE iS, 1903. FOR ECAL DEM00RA0Y. Like a first ray of light alter long days of blackest darkness comes the information lrom Philadelphia that an "Independence Club" has beer, organized by Democrats for the pur nose of Dromotina " uncompromising Democracy, in the best sense of that term, ai'ainst Republican corruption and the trading, truckling spirit of some of the present Democratic or ganization leaders" The president of the club is M. C Paul, a Repre rentative in the Legislature of 1 goo a man of fine abilities and the highest Uegrity, himself an uncompromising Jemocrat of the kind described. For years the trading of the Donnel y-Ryan wing of the so called Demo. :rats of Philadelphia has been a scan dal in the city and throughout the whole State. Trading on a lesser scale has occurred in oiher cities than Philadelphia, and the ugly form oi that corrupt creation, infamously doing business under the appellation of " Democrat," now intrudes itself in the Capital City. One of the most astoundiner thinns in the politics of Pennsylvania is that a State leader ship which is itself above suspicion should recoenize these local leaders as Democratiand permit their organi zations to be represented in the State Committee and at State Conventions. Whenever the operations of these traders are manifest, organizations of real Democrats should be formed and should demand recognition at the hands of the State Committee, and thus give the governing organization opportunity to say whether they are Democrats who call themselves so only for barter and briberty, or whether they are Democrats who a known to be so solely in the interests of pure politics and the broad principles of Democracy. It is time the lepers ot the party were cast into outermost political daikness and that men 01 untainted character and real Democ racy were put on guard. Patriot. Trolley and the Danes to Blame- In a sermon to an immense con gregation in the Church of the Holy Infancy, in South Bethlehem, Rev. Philip McEnroe continued his remarks touching the bachelors in his parish. He condemned trol ley riding and dance balls because they diverted the unmarried men's attention from the matrimonial path. "Your fathers were not of your like," he said. "They saved mouey, married and raised laige families. Pointing to the bache lors present, he exclaim-id : "And some of you old fellows before me have no more hair on your head tiau I have. Largest Mine in the World It is claimed that the greatest body ot anthracite coal in the world is about to be uncovered in the new stripping now being opened by Coxe Bros. & Co. This great body is east of Drifton and is in some places 104 feet tmck. lhe stripping is 4,700 feet wide and contains upwards of 9,000,000 tons of hard coal of the bes,t quality. In fact, there is suffi cient coal to hold out as long as the last member of the present generation of Coxes. This stripping is no doubt the largest coal mine in the world. Freeland Press.

Value ot a Grange- A subordinate Grange is the most practical and the most natural menus of promoting all the interests of a rural community ever conceiv ed in the history of the world, for the following: reasons : 1. It contributes to tlie social life by frequent regular meeting in which the art of sociability is so agreeable and informally taught as to fascinate rather than repel those participating in the exercises. 2. It contributes to the high moral standard by affording con venient and agreeable society for old and young in which the highest standard of morality is maintained, thereby preventing association ot its members in society of the op posite nature. 3. It contributes to the happiness of home by the mental recreation afforded all members of the family in the various Grange gatherings attended, thereby broadening their mental vision and increasing their happiness, which is sure to be re flected in their home life. 4. It contributes to the material prosperity by its discussion of all matteis of importance tending to local development, and often is in strumental in securing the establish ment of industries that give added population as well as taxable prop erty, thereby aiding every taxpayer in town. 5. It contributes to the general intelligence of the inhabitants by its frequent discussion of questions of a public nature and by the edu cating influence of other exercises, resulting in mental development and a more intelligent citizenship, which is an uplifting force'in any town. 6. It contributes to the general welfare by dissipating neighborhood quarrels, by breaking up long standing feuds caused by church, school, or society troubles, by pro moting better roads, better schools, and better farming, by stimulating more interest in public affairs, re suiting in the election of better men to office and better enforcement of law as well as the better transaction of the public business of towns, counties, and states. 7. A subordinate Grange con tributes in these ways to the up building of a rural community by making it a more desirable place in which to live and making its citi zens more intelligent, more prosper ous, and more nappy. A mysterious tribe of white men and women are said to have been discovered in the interior of the Philippines. They are tall, light of complexion and nave blue eyes, and take to the jungles in flight on the approach of strangers. They are supposed to be descendants of the survivors of a shipwreck cen turies ago. The war department will send an expedition to make in vestigation. rjnssraKUQflHonassB&MiByaBanMaassssaH Wo Hair?

A Reorganization Effected Tuesday Evening, An arljourned meeting of the Bloomsburg School Board was held Tuesday evening. It was the con cluding meeting of the old board, and the work of the year was finish ed up, and a reorganization effected. Dr. Redeker was unable to be present, and Joseph Garrison was elected president pro tem. The Secretary reported that he had made the loan of $1200, as recommended by the Board. The statement prepared for the auditors, by the secretary, sliowed a balance in the treasurer's hands of 206,83. On motion the same was approved, and it was ordered that the financial statement be published in the Columbian, Republican, Daily, and Morning Pres.. The following resolution was offered by Mr. Garrison: "Where as the banks, of our town are among our heaviest tax payers and there fore are each equally entitled to our patronage tis a board, therefore Resolved, that in the future we will make no distinction of nny bank with our favors, but will give each the benefit of our deposits as their regular turn shall come. Mr. Garrison moved for the adopt ion ot the resolution, seconaeo. by Mr. Taylor, but it was defeated by a vote of 3 to 2. Monday evening Tune 22d, was set apart as the time for the elec tion ot teachers and janitors.. At the conclusion of the regular business, the Board reorganized by electing James C Brown, president, Joseph Garrison, Secretary aud Dr. F. N. Redeker, treasurer, the salary of the secretary was fixed the same as last year, namely $20.00 pel month, and the com mission of the treasurer was made the same as heretofore. Flags and Religion. In speaking of the part played by the national colors in the decora tion of churches for the Children's Day services on Sunday, one of our exchanges says: ''A few years since nag trimmed churches would have seemed incongruous, but time has changed aU that. The close and vital connection of church and ua tion is being more and more clearly understood, an enlightened citii.en ship is known now to be the greatest i fa -i 1 1- nnnnlrv ti!ia rotrirticnl iavsw vw. wvMub.j mm.j, " - w " and religion are goiug hand in hand, and the nags that were used in churches on Sunday to jointly commemorate children's day and flag day were beautiful symbols of a new and happier era tor our land. Bird Circular- The Pennsylvania Department ot Agriculture has just issued a circular in pamphlet form, under the title " Birds around the Farm," that will do more to protect the birds than all the laws that have been passed for their protection. The publication shows that "birds are among the greatest friends of the growers of fruit and vegetation," and that from an economic standpoint they "represent cash value far beyond previous be lief." Farmers are advised to attract birds to their premises by the erection of bird boxes or houses, in order to reap the benefits of the presence of the active little bug pickers. The circular should be given a wide cir culation among farmers. Notice to Teachers. Notice is hereby given, that the di rectois of the Bloomsburg School District, will meet on Monday even ing, June aad, 1903, for the appoint ment of teacher and janitors for the ensuing year.

At the meeting of the executive committee of the Columbia County Agricultural Society, held on Satur dav. it was decided to enlarge the poultry department. I he macie quacy of the present buildings have for years been apparent, aud cost of renting tents to shelter the poultry entered after all the space had been taken up, has been quite large. It is the purpose of the so ciety to obtain plans and bids for the proposed building. The catalogue was modified so as to make the entrance fee twenty five cents for each pair of chickens, and the premium for each pair has been increased from $1.00 to $1.50, It is believed that this change will serve to bring to the exhibition this fall, the greatest display of poultry the Society has ever had. Those who attended the meeting were president A. C. Creasy, treas urer T. C. Brown, secretary A. N. Yost, and members Henry Deigh miller, A. R. Heurie, Elisha Ring- rose and A. V. Kresskr.
