OUTLOOK FOR DEJ10CE&0T.
In commenting on the Demo
cratic outlook, the Patriot oi Harris
burg says editorially :
The Democratic prospects for
electiug a President and securing
the control of Congress next year
are brightening every day. The
Republicans have no candidate for
President except Mr. Roosevelt,
and his strength is waning, not ouly
with the leaders of his patty, but,
rightly and wrongly, with the rank
1 id file. Moreover, th policies of
e Republican party have not the
.aid on public esteem that they had
- short time ago, and are steadily
jsing ground. As the Republican
iarty claims credit for the un
exampled industrial activity which
started shortly before the outbreak
of the war with Spain, and reached
its zenith about two years ago, it
muit logically bear the responsibi
lity for the termination of the so
called prosperity, which was really
inflation and speculation whose re
action has left hundreds of thou
sands of people worse off than they
were belore, and the end of which
is not yet in sight. People have
learned and are learning that the
prohibitive tariff which prompted
the formation of gigantic trusts,
and wild and senseless inflation and
speculation which has brought ruin
to countless thousands, is not the
blesdng they supposed it was ; the
reckoning will come at the polls
next November. If the Democrats
in Congress during the extra ses
sion and the regular session that
is to begin in December, are euid-
ed by wisdom aud patriotism and if
ine isational Democratic Conven
tion chooses the right candidate for
President he will be elected with a
Democratic majority in the House
of Representatives with a fair pros
pect that Democratic Legislatures
in various states will be chosen in
suring the election of Democratic
Senators in 1905.
There are at present in the United
States Senate fifty-seven Republi
cans and thirty-three Democrats.
The Legislatures elected on the
third of this month in Ohio and
Maryland, will each elect a Senator.
In Ohio Mr. Hanna will undoubt
edly be elected. In Maryland the
Democrats will gain a Senator.
Tbe Legislatures to be chosen next
year will elect successors to the fol
lowing United States Senators,
whose terms expire March , iqos:
Aiancn, ot Knode lslaud ; Ball, of
Delaware ; Bard, of California ;
Bate, of Tennessee ; Beveridge, of
Indiana ; Burrows, of Michigan ;
Clapp, of Minnesota ; Clarke, of
Wyoming; Cockrell, of Missouri :
Culberson, of Texas : Daniel, of
Virginia ; Depew, of New York ;
Dietrick, of Nebraska ; Foster, of
Washington ; Gibson, of Montana;
Hale, of Maine; Hawley, of Conn
ecticut; Kean, of New Jersey;
Kearns, of Utah ; Lodge, of Mass
achusetts ; McCumber, of North
Dakota ; Money, of Mississippi ;
Proctor, of Vermont ; Quaries, of
Wisconsin ; Quay, of Pennsylvania;
Scott, of West Virginia ; Stewart,
of Nevada, and Taliaferro, of
Florida, twenty-e;ght in all. If the
Democrats can elect twelve of these
it will give them, with the Demo
;?:t to be elected in Maryland in
place of Mr. McComas, a majority
in the Senate. This is entirely with
in the reach of possibility ; all de
pends upon the patriotism and wis
dom of the Democrats in and out
ot Congress, between now and the
election next year.
The Republican policy has
wrought out its own condemnation
and nothing but Democratic blund
ering and the selfishness of rival
leaders, can prevent a sweeping
Democratic victory next year.

Crime Increasing With Population'
Centndia has for years, led all
other sections of the county in fur
nishing cases for criminal cotirt.
Berwick, however, since its rapid
increase in population, and the
consequent influx of a foreign
element, is now a good second, and
the list that she will send to the
December term already numbers six.
The last offender to the law is
Charles Rick, who was brought to
jail on Monday. His crime is that
of theft of an overcoat from the
Berwick Store Company. His only
excuse when arraigned before Squire
Kitchen was, that .he thought the
coat, he having picked it up off the
floor, had been dropped or lost by
a drunken man. He was unable
to furnish bail, hence his incarcera
tion. The House of Representatives
cost $3,000,000 a year and the Sen
ate $1,400,000.

One merit of Lyman II. Howe's
moving picture exhibitions is that
he never duplicates pictures from
one season to the other. This year's
entertainment is entirely rxsw,
showing pictures of the most recent
events in all parts of the world,
such as the recent visit of the Kiug
of England to France. Mr. Howe
secures the best products of the
best cameras from all parts of the
world. He spares no expense in
getting up his series of pictures and
the public gets the benefit. The
exhibition will be seen in the Opera
House on November 27. 2t

Worlu'i Fair Information Bureau-
The World's Fair, St. Louis,
which will ocen April 30th, and
close December ist, 1904, covers
an area of 1,240 acies. What this
means in magnitude of grounds is
best shown by comparison. The
World's Columbian Exposition, at
Chicago, embraced 633 acres. The
Exposition of 1900, at Paris, oc
cupied 336 acres; the Pan-American
at Buffalo had 300 acres; the Cen
tennial at Philadelphia, 236 acres,
and the Trans-Mississippi, at
Omaha, 150. There is embraced
within the limits of the World's
Fair ot 1904, at St. Louis, acreage
almost equaling the aggregate of
tbe Columbian Exposition, the Cen
teunial, the Pan-American and the
T rans- M ississippi.
A receut statement of the Director
of Works of the World's Fair, an
nounces that on September 30th,
the Exposition Exhibit buildings,
taken as a whole, were 89 per cent,
completed, and the Exhibit build
ings of the Columbian Exposition
at Chicago, at the corresponding
period before tbe opening of that
exposition, were but 44 per cent,
completed; in addition to which are
the permanent granite buildings in
the Washington University group,
(one of which is used as the Ad
ministration Building ; ) of these,
seven are completed and the other
four nearly so.
Some of the State Buildings are
now nearly completed, and many
others are in various stages of com
pletion. Some of the foreign build
ings are completed, and many
others are in course of construction.
The Concession Buildings, or those
to be erected on the "Pike," are in
various stages of construction.
Numerous temporary hotels are
being constructed in close proximity
to the World's Fair grounds, and a
number of permanent modern hotels
are being erected in the heart of
the city.
It is contemplated that at the
opening of the Fair, St. Louis will
be fully able to house all visitors
who may come. Tbe World's Fair
officials, up to the present time,
have had tendered to them loom
ing accommodations for 150,000
people, and by the time the Fair
opens, this list will undoubtedly be
increased to 200,000. Exhibits are
now being received on the grounds,
and many shipmeuts have already
come in from abroad.
St. Louis World's Fair Informa
tion Bureaus have been established
at 387 Broadway, New York City,
in charge of Mr. H. B. McClellan,
and in Boston at 176 Washington
Street, in charge of Mr. J. D. Mc
Beath, where information will be
cheerfully furnished.
Sector Accepts Jail

the past year has been the rector of

December 1. Rev. Diggles is an
able preacher, aud has made many
friends ia the parishes where he
labored. He has twice occupied
the pulpit of St. Paul's church, this
towu, and his sermons on both oc
casions were able efforts.
