member of John D. lierlolette Post.No.
4S1 G. A. It., of Lchlghton. Mr.
Yeakle came to this place In 1870 and
entered the lumbering business which
he followed for a number of years.
Since 1870 ho has been employed mis
cellaneously. Politically he was always
a staunch Republican up to a few years
ago when he joined forces with the Pro
hibition pally. He has filled various
borough ollices, and was made a candi
date for County Commissioner at the
late Prohibition county convention.
There Is a disposition on the part
of many Democrats who lia o secured
positions under the present administra
tion to do something for their country
besides the regular routine of business
connected with their appointment. It
would ho well for such individuals to
keep In mind President Cleveland's re
cent order prohibiting government of
ficials tinkering with matters of a politi
cal nature. True such appointments
are frequently made through the interest
taken in the individual appointed by
soinu county poliliclnn, and It is
but natural that he should be imbued
Willi thoughts and desires of doing
something, even so small sometimes as
the securing of his home delegates in
tho Interest of his debtor, as a showing
of his appreciation. True, this is an
unwise proceeding on the pait of the of
ficial, but often his party zeal gets the.

the clash of political arfaro is upon us.
President Cleveland's order takes out
of politics, to a certain extent, a class

as a consequence will make the election

Thu open air temperance meeting In

Major, of Lchlghton, occupied tiie at
tention of the audience forsevcral hours.
By Ihe way these gentlemen went into
the work it Is plain that they are heart
and soul In the business; they arc confi
dent that piolilbitlon will soon bo a fact;
the cause Is growing, from one town to
another, from State to State, until It
shall embraeo every village, town and
city In America, according lo their
views In tho matter. When men be
come. fanatic on any particular subject,
fancy always plays a prominent role
with them. That "prohibition will
prohibit" Is a foregone conclusion with
them; that "prohibition will not pro
hibit" is a foregone conclusion with
others. In Maine they havo had pro
hibition for tlility years; docs It prohib
it there? No! After prohibition lias had
thirty-eight days' trial In Geoigla, Ihe
Telegraph, of Macon, (Ga.) says: "It is
thirty-eight days slnco prohibition lias
been put Into effect. Less money In the
city and Stato treasury; less business
houses occupied; less people In the city;
Ies morality; more drunkenness; more
crimes and criminals; more people out
of employment than ever before; more
taxes put upon the people; more extra
licenses imposed upon the merchants,
and more dissatisfaction among all
classes of people than has ever cxittcd
before." Such is the stato of affairs In
Georgia; would it be any different In our
ow n State? ll'e think not, in fact, know
positively that It would not. Tho "Jib
erty" of this country Is being restricted
somewhat. True, wo believe in such
laws as properly regulate, our system of
government, but we are too dcmocra'lc
in principle to believe that a man's cat
lug and drinking should bo regulated,
thereby Interfering with his individual
rights as a citizen of theso United
States.

AFTEItNOON SKSStOX.
Tho meeting was called to otder by
Geo. W. Esser, and upot) motion Hon.
Win. Itapshcr was unanimously made
tho presiding officer of the meeting. In
accepting the office Mr. Hapsher ex
pressed himself In the following terms:
Ocntlcmcn of the Carbon county Demo
cracy I thank you for tho honor which you
have conferred upon mo bychooslnc me us
your presiding officer, over such a dlstlngu-
lsneu uoiiy of rcprcscntatlcs of the Demc
cratlc party of the county of Carbon. And
shall nlo nt this time take the liberty to tail
) our attention to what I deem a few of tie
cardinal Issues Involved In the conilngcnin
palgn. We are to elect a Governor of this
great commonwealth nu tho second Tuesday
of November next. Wo can easily do this. If
the delegates at our State convention on next
Wednesday will properly ganse the public
pulse and sentiment, and place a man hi
nomination for Governor who will represent
the principles and sentiments of the neonle
or Ibis State upon the great labor question. I
understand the sentiment of the people to be
opiwscd to all kinds of monopoly and dis
crimination, and laws In fmor of corporate
green, and unequal and unjusttaxatlon of tho
people commonly called a protective tariff.
A tariff Is nothing but a lax, If a man will
only use Ihe word tax in place of taniT, then
the whole thing Is very plain. And any tax
that is more than sufficient for the purimscs
of revenue Is robbery, and It Is the laboring
peopte ot this country w ho are being robbed.
Tho corpoiatlnns and the manufacturers
pocket the unholy money the laborer, his
wife and little ones are tlio ones who ai e be
Ingiobbcd. Is it not a strange paradox that
a protective tailffor tax has this eifect-a
poor man buys a woollen blanket and pass
the tariff or tax on it-that is ho pays, say $t
more for It, than ho would havo to pay for It,
if the patriot protective tariff or tax was not
lev led. This they say is protection to Ameri
can labor. Yet we behold Ihe curious spec
taelo every day of seeing hundreds of fiiielRii
laborers Imported to make labor cheaper In
all our boroughs and townships without a
tjiiltovtaxou them this so-called protective
tariff protects tho rich and robs the poor. It
Is a wondtrful policy, It protects tho wrong
man and Impoverishes the labor of this coun
trythe labor which produced all Hie wealth
In this country. Is this sound pollllcal ceon-
onij?Is It right morally or politically!' I say
noi-iawirisemitlcd to Its Just reward and
Itsshaieuf tho pioduco of the earth, (iod
never created this eaith torn fewilchmen
and that the great tnnjoilty of men should
be their perpetual slaves. These arc Demo

will faithfully represent them mid carry

We want union and hnrnionv hi tho narb

dency of the Ilepubllcan parly has always
been towards centralization a grasping for

want to regulate his religion. These tenden
cies and doctrines I cannot subscribe too. 1

Following tho report of the committee
on resolutions, Hon Allen Craig ad
dressed the meeting by calling their at
tention to the cleanliness of the present
administration. He enjoined the dele
gates to the State convention to be wise
In their selection of candidates; that the,

than the eicalor. Ho called attention
to tlio fact, that In union there is
strength, and begged of the Democratic
party to stand united or the day of elec
tionto tako a united and eternal stand
In the principles of our partv. In tho
past wo have not stood together as we
ought and the result is wo fritter away
tho Democratic majority of 500 or CtO

WAltNIXO TO JUDAS AND 1'fiTKII.
John 13. 21-38. Golden Text, 1 Cor.,
10-12.
Tlmo and place, same as last lesson.
This lesson contains one of the most
linpretslve and thrilling ucencs in the
history of the disciples.
They were gathered round the table
partaking of tire Passover supper, when
Jesus told them that one of their number
would betray Him.
To homo this must huvo hcen a great
surprise, und it is no wonder that the
fervent and earnest Peter should desire
to know who tho tiniltor was.
lid beckons across the table to John,
the beloved dis-ciple.s, "that ho should
risk who it should le."
John asked the Master and was told
that it was the one to whom Ho would
give tiro sop, when Ho hud dipped it.
"And when He had dipped the t,op, ho
gave It to Judas Ihcarioi."
Then Jesus told nlm to do his work
quickly. Judas went out into tho dark
ness ol ihe night to prepare for that
terrible betrayal which stands withoutn
parallel In hlatory.
Ju.las vvns warned by ChrUt, and yet
he lull. Aflersomefiulher remarks our
Lord gave His new commandment, ''That
ye love one another, us 1 have loved you,
thatye uImi love one another."
It was at this point tlrat the impetuous
Peter, referring to a previous renlark of
Christ s, "Whither I go yo ran not
come," asked Him wither He went.
Il'lien assured that he could not then
follow his Master, he bioko out with the
vcuemeni assertion, "I will lay down my
llfo for Thy sake."
Observe the answer of Jesus, who
read his heart. "Wilt thou lay down
thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, tho cock shall not crow,
till thou hast denied Me thrice."
Here was n solemn and Impressive
warning for Peter, and It seems tn luvn
affected him so much that he did not
enter into any futher conversation dur
lug the meal.
Peter fell, but bv tb
he was able to rise again.
We havo here the contrast between the
two characters.
In each case the fall was irradiinl. Tn
the case of Judas it was complete; lu
that of Peter It was only partial.
The name of Judas has passed down
through the ages a synonym for traitor
and all that Is dcsnlcabla In Midi A
character.
But the name of Peter Is liminrp.l.in.l
his renewed Christain life, so iwibli. nml
grand, is beloved by the church of God
in every innil.
All that our Lord did for Judas was
f no avail: he went on to his iliii.nlilil
and tragic death.
But one look from the Master melted
the heart of Peter, and he eamo back a
better and a truer man.

Our club will go lo Lansford to-day

exceedingly Interesting game and the
winning club will have to work hard.
We have considerable faith in our club,
wo feel confident that they will do their

A Torrlblo Caso of Scrofula
Cured by
Hood's Sarsaparilla
" In tho winter of JOT I was attacked with
Scrofula In ono of the most aggravating forms.
At one tlmo I had no less than thirteen largo
abscesses over and around my nccl: and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost Intolerable to endure. It Is impossible
to fully dcscrlbo my sufferlnRs, .is tho case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
thice years ot misery, having been treated by
rurco physicians, x was worse than ever.
Finally, on tho recommendation of W. J.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, I was Induced
to try Hood's Barsapartila. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions havo
entirely ceased, and tho abscesses have all
disappeared, except tho unsightly ecars.whlch

beautifully less.' T do not kr.uvv what It may
