ALLEGED BRIBERY
VANIA.
District Attorney James L. Lenahan,
of " nzerne county, has announced that
he will indtitute critninal proceedings
against thirty-six Democrats and twen-
ty-three Republican delegates for ac-
cepting bribes to vote for certain candi-
dates for nomination, at the recent con-
vention held in that county. The war
ran's for the arrest of the accused will
be placed in the hands of the county de-
tective at once. The persons to be ar
reside in Hazelton, Plymouth
and Nanticoke, The district attorney's
ation has caused much excitement in
political circles there.
There came near being a case of this
kind in onr county last fall, only the

lied
The troubles of Republicans in this
State are multiplying. The platform
pledges on the subject of prohibition
and anti-diserimination are alike both
ersome. The refusal of the Democratic
Senators to vote on the prohibtion
amendment has greatly perplexed the
Republican leaders. Senator Rutan's
compensatory clause--that is, an addi.
tional amendment providing for compn-
# ation to liquor men for losses sustained
by the wiping out of their business
will be voted on. on Toesday, and the
Senator is anxious to have the Demo-
erats vote for or against, The purpose
is to send the two propositions to the
people at once, and it is expected that
one will defeat the other, thos giving
the party the appearance of keeping
their pledges, when, in fact, they are
kept. The Democrats will not aid
them in the little enterprise, and an un.

PROPRIETARY MEDICINES,
A visit to Dr, Green's Laboratory, at
Woodbury, N. J, has considerably
changed our views, and especially our
prejudices in regard to what are general
ly known as “Standard Patent Medicia-
es” Of course we are getting to that age
in life when we are forced to conclude
Life itself is a humbug, and naturally dis-
rast auyihing that has not withstood
long and tried experiences. Being a
puysican I bad the curiosity to know
how such a sale of two medical prepara-
tions could be sustaived for so many
years, The perfect system upon which
tie business is conducted, and the
pharmaceutical arrabgements for the
manufacture of the two recipes with
which we were made acquainted, are
sufficiently convincing to us that the

Liver Complaints, and Boscner's Gam

recommended, most excellent remedies,
and only regret that in much of our prac.
tice, medical ethics prevent us from pre-
scribing them without making the form-
