Miss Emma Honey, of Powder Val
ley. Pa., recently found a remarkable
clover stalk, having 44 stems. 27 of
them having four leaves each, and 17
being five leaved ones. During the
summer she gathered 101 four-leaved
clover stalks, 19 with five leaves, and
one with the exceptional number of
six leaves.
In Liverpool is a room—that of a
dentist whose grandfather occupied
tie same premises—that contains
many mirrors and pictures, the frames
of which are made entirely of sharks'

the roof, with nothing but chains of
various thicknesses and padlocks of
different sizes.
Basketry remains a most, popular
form of fancy work for young women.
It is an art easy to acquire and fas
cinating in its development, for so
Boon as a few lessons have been taken
the worker sees stimulating possi
bilities in giving rein to her own fancy
in design. Many Christmas present*
will take this form, as the range of
service for the reed bowls and boxes
Is wide and useful.
The counter displaying Canto,i
China is always attractive to wise
shoppers, who know that the pieces of
china, crudely pictured with the quaint
scenes of Chinese life, make appre

in this ware that stands on three
small feet can be purchased as low as
7;1 cents, while odd plates, platters,
teacups antl saucers can be had at co. -
respondingly low prices.
The government proposes to tax the
"drink-money" received by street car
conductors from passengers who are
humane enough to try and keep them
from starving. The conductors' pro

a* their salary is only $21.25 per
month. The Berlin street cars are
among the greatest money-makers in
Germany.
Experiments now in progress at
Woods Hole Marine Biographical
Laboratory indicate that not only is
It possible to prepare an artificial sea

of time, and often carry out consider
able part of their development in ar

PROSPERITY AND PROTECTION.
Reinstatement of lln* I-'rl weljtle
lli-otiultt lliiirk I*fiii il Time.*
After IKiIU.
"The greatest national issue is
the inaintt nance of prosperity."
It will lie remembered that this dec
laration will appear in the platform
adopted by the republican convention
of this state last, summer. It is the
declaration of a self-evident truth,
but in tlte circumstances it was neces
sary. It is necessary moreover—for
the people of this country and for the
men to whom the people have entrust
ed the duty of managing national af
fairs to hear it constantly in mind.
The declaration was necessary, and
the keeping of it in mind is necessary,
because the faction of the democracy
that is endeavoring to reorganize the
party is making an attack upon the
principle upon which prosperity rests
the basis of the proposed reorganiza
tion, says the Albany Journal.
Lacking in clearness, direct nes-s and
force as Grovcr Cleveland's published
expression of views as to the future of
the demoeratic party is, it makes plain
beyond doubt the intent of the would
be reorganizers to rally the majority
of the democrats of this country
around a banner Inuring the inscrip
tion "Tariff for ltevenue." The propo
sition that import duties should lie
reduced without, the slightest regard
for the principle of protection will he
the democratic paramount issue from
now on until the votes for presidential
electors are cast in 1904. if the would
be reorganizers, whose chief is Grover
Cleveland, have their way.
It was the rcinst it ution of the prin
ciple of protection that brought Tinck
prosperity after the election of 1S90;
it is that principle that'has hi en main
ly the cause of the marvelous growth
| of prosperity since iTiat time; pros
perity rests securely upon that, prin
ciple. An attack upon protection is
: therefore manifestly an attack upon
prosperity itself. It must he met firm
; ly. aggressively and with unflagging
j determination by all who desire that
! prosperity shall he maintained.
It may appear, after due considera
tion, that certain changes in the tariff
schedule are advisable. There never
| was a tariff law framed that was abso
| lutely perfect in every detail, nor w ill
j there ever he one that will not he sub
! ject. to legitimate changes from time
to time. But no change must he made,
i or attempted, that is a menace to the
principle of protection. Only tliecer-
I tainty that a proposed change will he
1 of advantage to American commerce
and industry will be justification for
j the adoption of sueli change. There
must heno 4 general tariff-tinkering,
i for the sake of the tinkering.
Much has been said recently of the
1 material increase in imports, to which
the decrease in the balance of trade
; in our favor is largely due. Since such
| increase has come even while a pro
tective tariff is in force, it i- easy lo
i see how greatly imports would be fur
ther increased if import duties were
generally reduced, and bow soon we
should be transformed again into a
debtor nation.
Germany* whose commerce and indtis
: trv is in a condition similar to that
which prevailed in the Cnited States
I during President Cleveland's second
term, attributes that condition to lax
t ity in the matter of imposition oT itn
j port duties, and is working out a tar-
I iff system not only for greater revenue,
but also for Is'ttcr protection.
The importance of tlte plan of cam
paign outlined by Mr. ( leveland for
the proposed rejuvenated democracy
must not he underestimated, lie is the
j leader of the faction that is trying to
! accomplish the rejuvenation. He is
j competent and authorized to speak for
for it. tn declare its purposes. Its
principal purpose is to effect horizon
tal reduction of the tariff, which would
| mean the breaking down of the pro
tective system and the consequent col-
I lapse of prosperity.
All who may manifest undue zeal
and eagerness to make sweeping
i change- in the present t ariif schedule
! will he aiding the Cleveland faction
j of the democracy in its at tempt to gain
' control of the democratic party and
of the nation's affairs. The changing
of any part of the tariff law is a task
thai needs to he untiei-takim, if it 1-
undertaken at ull. only with the great
| est deliberation and the coolest judg
| niciit. Anil as the Evening Journal has
said repeatetily, no change which Tn
the slightest decree would affect the
principle of protect'on to it- detri
ment should IN- considered lit all.
What) ver some individuals may say.
the fact ha hi • n c inhli-heil beyond
the po -ihility of ilollht that the
majority of the people of the Cnited
State approves of protection. The
return to the house of representative*
of a niaji rity . 112 members of the party
that litis alw ays adhered to protect ion
for \iuerieiin Indu trii is the most

SOCIALISM FOLLOWSERYANISM
Tlie Silently Movement of the Demo
cratic I'nrly in That Hireelliin
for Yea I'm.
A significant fact, is noted in connec
tion with the late election in Massa
chusetts. The Appeal of Reason, a
socialist organ published in Kansas,
has completed a canvass of the vote
east by its party in the United States,
and places the total at 400,000. It
adds: "The hen viest socialist vote was
polled in Massachusetts." There tire
some interesting conclusions to be
drawn from this statement, and the
Hoston Journal proceeds to draw
t hem:
"The heaviest socialist vote was polled
tn Mas.- tchiisetts-!" This I.the sir.tsternt t
result of this year's strenuous effort to
"reorganize." rehabilitate and revitalize
the Bay state democracy. The nomination
of* Mr. Gaston did r.ot succeed ir. capturing
Massachusetts or breaking republican con
trol. Its. chiitf practical effect was the
rolling up in this conservative common
wealth of"the heaviest socialist vote"
in the union. A year or two more ar.d
socialism will have absorbed our Massa
chusetts democracy, root ar.d branch.
Those gold democrats who have left their
party anil In cum republicans are ahut?-
cT.tntiy justified, by the course of this year's
i lection.-. The democracy is escaping from
Bryar.ilsm to fall Into socialism. It is sim
ply going from bad! to wors'e. It is passing
under the spell of the most dangerous de
lusion which this party of opportunism has
ever embraced.
The Journal is of the further belief
that the conservative democrats as
well as the few mistaken republicans
w ho voted for Mr. Gaston, will soon he
coming to there publico npa rt.v "on the
run,"and that the line will he very
sharply drawn iu the commonwealth
between the forces of conservatism
and the forces of radicalism. It con
eludes thus: "One does not need to he
a prophet or the son of it prophet to !
read the meaning of the straws on the
stream of politics or the drifting!
clouds in the sky." The signs are not j
confined to Massachusetts. That a j
large proportion of flic democratic
party everywhere is deeply tainted 1
with socialism is indisputable. If it .
were not true David H. Hill could never I
have so slickly put through his govern- j
incut coal confiscation plank at his
state convention in Saratoga, nor \
would the Bryan doctrines, many of !
them purely socialistic, appeal so ;
strongly to the rank and file.
The truth is the democratic party ;
as a whole for years has been steadily '
moving toward socialism. The eoali- j
tion in some states with the populists
who politically are but one degree
removed from the socialists—as far
back as 1592 was one of the first and j
most notable of the outward and vis
able signs of this drift. Some demo
crats who winked at that combination |
then have seen the folly of it since, and i
instead of following the path which !
led into the Bryan camp have taken the !
back track and are to-day in much
more general sympathy with there- J
publican party than with their own.
It is probable that with this socialistic
drift continued there will be a new
alignment of political forces. As mat- 1
ters are going there will soon be no
choice between republicanism and
socialism and the self respecting, con- |
servative democrat who doesn't like !
socialism is not likely to he very long
iu reaching a decision as to which side |
he will take.
RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE.
Tlie True Source of I"o 111 ielt t Power j
Im Properly Iteeou'itixetl liy the
He mill lien ins.
Without loss-of time, the Vermont
legislature, largely republican in both
branches, has noted on the main issue j
in the recent state I'ampaign, and called j
for a vote of the people themselves on
the bill passed. The lending question |
referred to was whether the long es
tablished prohibition law should
stiind, attended with many admitted
violations, or be replaced by local op-I
tion and high license. This hotly de-j
bated point divided the republican
party of Vermont into almost equal j
parts and the election of governor
went to the legislature. That body]
has passed a law and provided for its ;
submission to a special election in the ;
state January 6. The bill calls for an •
annual popular vote on the licensing of
saloons and sets a minimum fee of
S.IOO find maximum of $1,200 for a gen
eral license, with a $250 license for sell
ing fermented liquors. An antitreat
ing clause is included in the bill. Mas
sachusetts has it law similar in many
respects, and local option there re
sulls in actual prohibition over most
of the state's urea.
\1 the recent election, Illinois made 1
a distinct ad\ mice with t lie referendum
principle, Vermont applies it practi
cally. Oregon and South Dakota have
embodied ii in their constitutions. j
lowa has authorized it in municipal :
affairs. Ml these arc republican stales.
Here is another illustration, says the
| St. Louis (ilohe Democrat, of the fact
that the republican party acts while
: other parties occupy themselves with
| dodging, dissembling or empty talk. |
' I he now moribund populist party has

THE ARMY CANTEEN.
Anf I-Sn loon League Will l-'lglil Any
Altelll|ll to ISc-3 .Mil IIMMII 11.
Washington, Dec. It. —The most im
portant action yesterday of the Na
tional Anti-Saloon league now hold
ing its annual session here was the
adoption of an address to the public
on the army cantean question, in
which the charge is made that high
army officials have persistently pur
sued a course extremely unfavorable
to the anti-canteen law of congress,
and pledging the association to do its
Utmost to defeat nn.v attempt to re
peal the law until it has had a full
and fair trial. The address says:
"What is popularly known as the
anti-canteen law has been in force
less than two years, immediately fol
lowing many years' trial of the can
teen law and after a large number of
soldiers had contracted the drink
ha'liit.—according to i.ie otncial re
port. just, published, of the inspector
general of the division of the Phil
ippines in 71 companies investigated
between 10 and lilt per cent, of tlte
men drink to excess habitually.
"Congress at its last session ap
propriated $.»00,000 to build, equip
and maintain suitable buildings at
army posts for the recreation and so
ciability of the men, and also in
creased the rations of the men five
cents per day. thereby enabling them
to secure comforts without depending
on the profits of an army saloon. Be
cause of the shortness of time, these
appropriations have not as yet, ex
cept in a very limited degree, been
utilized by the army.
"High army officials have most per
sistent l.v pursued a course extremely
unfriendly to this law and pursued it
in a way that has thrown the whole
influence of the war department, with
the soldiers, on the side of distrust
of and dissatisfaction with the law
ami have persistently published mis
leading reports as to the effects of
the law.
"Notwithstanding the shortness of
the time the law has been in force,
the frightful demoralization of the
army through the ilrink habit under
Ihe canteen law. the utter unfriend
liness to the anti-canteen law of the
war department ami the lion-test of
the substitutions possible through the
wise use of the above appropriations
by congress—notwithstanding all this
the official rnports of court-martials
show that the trials per 1.000 men
more than doubled during the last
three years of the canteen liquor sell
ing law. increasing from 42 per 1.000
men in IS9B to 100 in 1900, and that
since the year 1900 fin which is in
cluded six months of the canteen
liquor selling and is months of non
selling) the courts-martial have de
creased to 01: that is have decreased
39 per 1,000 men.
"The reports of the surgeon gen
eral of the army show a marked de
crease of disease, 'i lie admissions to
the hospitals, covering the whole
army, in the calendar year 1900, the
last year of the canteen, were 2,1511
per 1.1100 strength, while during 1907
the admissions to the hospitals
dropped to 1.791—a decrease in a sin
gle year of about 25 per cent. The
same reports show a decrease in in
sanity of about n.'s per cent.
"In view of all these facts the
Anti-Saloon league declares itself un
alterably opposed to the repeal of
the anti-canteen law. and pledges to
do its utmost to defeat any attempt
to repeal this law until it has had a
full and fair trial, and that it will not
cease this agitation imtil the public
and those who control the army un
derstand that liquor selling ill the
army canteen is a question of nation
al morality and not alone one of mil
itary regulation."

Reading. Pa., Deo.. 11. —An official
of the Interstate Railways Co., a
charier for which was granted in
Camden. X. J., several days ago, said
.yesterday that the deal to take in the
Cnited I'mver and Transportation
Co. had been consummated, but, that
it would take fully two weeks before
all the details are completed by the
attorneys and the organization per
fected. He added that the men at the
head of the concern are among the
leading financiers of the country.
W. \Y. Light, of Heading, treasurer
of the Inter-State Railway Co., has
sent out a call for 25 per cent, of the
capital stork, and the money is now
coming in. The United Power and
Transportation Co. controls over 450
miles of railways in eastern Pennsyl
vania and New Jersey and all these,
it. is said, will be embraced In the
new corporation, in addition to many
others. Associated in the new com
pany are Reading, Philadelphia and
Xew York capitalists. Pennsylvania
railroad interests, it is said, are
largely represented, as well as many
of those interested in the great
transportation companies of Greater
Xew York.
The lawyers are still at work on
the plans and the details may not be
ready for some time. The plans of
the Inter-State are still imperfect, as
far as information for the public is
concerned, but in a general way it
can be stated that it will operate a
great chain of city and electric su
burban lines and plants in Pennsyl
vania. New Jersey, Delaware and New
York. Philadelphia will be connect
ed by direct line with all leading
cities within a radius of from 50 to
75 miles.

Hiss Paine's Experience.
"I want to thank you for what you
have done for me, and recommend
Lydia E. Pinkhani's Vegetable
Compound to all girls whose work
keeps them standing oa their feet in
the store. The doctor said I must
stop work ; he did not seem to rgalizo
that a pirl cannot afford to stop work
ing. My back ached, my appetite was
poor, I could not sleep, and menstrua
tion was scanty and very painful. One
day when suffering I commenced to
take Lydia E. Pink ham's Vege
table Compound, and found that
it helped me. I continued its use, and
soon found that my menstrual periods
were free from pain and natural;
everyone is surprised at the change in
me, and I am well, and cannot be too
grateful for what you have done for
me." Miss JANET PAINE, 530 West
