Onr WeissprncnV' Speaks. The better element of the Dcmo- Prntfp iifiriv tint. Ituftonlnf ormiAinnnttrtn , RCtlosot sevcral Carbdncoun- ty politicians at the delegate election last Saturday. That they are justified in doing as they did Is evident from the fact that tho victory has been so com- 1 plete. As we predicted tho "principle exhibited by n class of politicians who Intend to "rule or ruin" has become ob- .. , , ,n,,nrttv of T)nm.r.itln voters, and In justlco to themselves nnd the safety of tho party they represent they deemed It but consistent with their past actions to defeat these men at the polls. They defeated tho opposition to Mr. Klotz honestly nnd fairly, nnd In view-of the fact that the total disrup tion of the Dcmociattc party had been threatened by Dr. Glllcspte and his friends In case of any factious opposi tion to Mr. Cassldy. They defeated the Honorable Michael Casslds delegates becauso they represented the principles that Imbues that honorable gentleman. Nothing moral nothing liss.i. That tho Democracy has been basely Imposed up on by politicians of the Rcber-Cassldy calibre Is evident, and their defeat last Saturday was plain, simple and decisive. . The Carbon county Democracy has recognized the claims of the Knights of Labor in the nomination of Daniel Bachman, of Wcatlierly, for Assembly, also In Indorsing Dr. J. G. Zcrn, of this placo for Senator. It will now bo In order for that organization to advocate his claims In their different assemblies and help to make his election a certain ty. That he is capable of filling the high olllco to which he Is nominated Is concluded from the fact that his nomin ation was advocated by the organization of which he Is a prominent member. Just how strong the Knights of Labor are In this county is not definitely known, but men who nre supposed to know, place tho figures at about twenty-fivo hundred. Of this number at least fivc elglits are of Democratic persuasion, which, with a solid party vote would make Mr. Bachman's majority between four and (lye hundred without counting the three-eights vote supposed to bo Republican. That Mi. Bachman will poll the full vote of the organization Is moie than can be expected, but beinc In sympathy with the cause of labor his election is undoubtedly a certainty. What will Mr. Craig do In this matter? Not being a Knight of Labor will he be sacrificed by the Democracy? It is hard ly fair to suppose that he should meet with such a fate, and yet judging from the fact that the Knights of Labor, also, have a Republican seeking the nomina tion for Assembly, his defeat seems ap parent. Such a state of affairs would be lamentable however, and the actions of the Kuight of Labor delegates who voted for Mr. Craig could hardly bo classed as honorable either to thetr or ganization or to Democracy. The lato convention was conducted honestly, fairly and impaitlally. Messrs. Craig and Bachman were nominated because they represented tho foremost principles of the Democratic party, as such it is the duty of: every Democratic voter to support and work for them. If they do not, they fall in doing their duty as Democrats, which event would portend much In Carbon county politics, even more than the ablest politician can fathom at this time. . .

Mr. Oswald is one of the most enterprising young business men in this place. . . We are reliably informed that If the aspirins Franklin statesman had not put In his appeaianceat the delegate election last Saturday tho Honorable Michael Cassldy would have secured one of the delegates from that place.

Farmers nro busy putting out,thelr fall crops and digging potatoes. -Jacob Ebcrts, of llockport, was vis Ing his parents over Sunday. He took in the picnic here. Mrs. Dr. Williams, of Scranton, was the guest of Thos. Musselmauand fami ly this week. The Select School closed on Friday. Tbe term has been one of nine weeks instead of ten as usual. On Sunday evening Mr. Stcckel preached the last of his scries of sermons here, and a very excellent one It was. Ho urged the necessity of erecting soino sort ot a chapel at the Square. All of hlsseimons were Intensely Interesting and highly creditable. Mr, Stcckel left for Lancaster on Thursdays where ho will remain n seminarian for another year. Tho picnic at Now Mahonlng.whlch was the last one for the season In this vicinity, was qulto a success. No speakers had been engaged for the oc casion and young and old enjoyed themselves In a social way. This lacK of speakers however was made up for In tho evening. A number of young men from Lansford and Summit Hill, of the' order of Patriotic Sons of America, had' come with the purpose of establish ing that organization among Us. Somo of them made sensible speeches, setting forth their alms and purposes. Judg ing fiotn the poor success however with which they met, It vvould seem that our young men aro not patriotic enough. By" tho way there Is one thing which these gentlemen sadly forgot In tug- ing their claims, namely, that If a "brother" gets mixed at ono of the "corners," they will stand by him as only brothers would. Messrs. Balllet, Drclb'elbels, Seldle, Longacre, Arner, Shier a'Ad Nothsteln, will leave for Palatinate College on Monday. Alter all, the most prominent fea ture of last Saturdays picnic was the balloon ascension. Four o'clock found II. A. Kelser surrounded by a group of admiring friends on the margin of a largo field, ready to make tho experi ment. It was a fitting place, the broad open field affording ample room for the display of talent. II. A. K., who was hero of the occasion, wore a look of triumph as he set to work. After sev eral unsuccessful efforts, he succeeded In giving it a lift. Imagiuo the' enthusi asm of tho crowd as they saw it sail up right. It dazzled all who looked upon It. Up, up, It went never stopping un til It had reached tbo enormous height of three feet. When lo! to tlio disap pointment of all It caught tire. And so not many hours after it had been lifted to the breeze, It reached terra flrnia again. Attached to the ballon, when it arose, was a letter addressed in letters of tho sunbeam, to the finder of the balloon. H'hat the contents of that letter wore we know not. Some think it was a message to foreign powers and that the peace of the world was at stake. If so, then it was proyidenco tliat burned tho balloon-. But may wo not take an other view of tile question? A gentle breeze had set in from the west, and H. A. evidently expected the balloon to drop In tho meadow a little towards tho rising sun. Was it not tho store of sweet kisses and other coriibustlbles that Ignited and caused all the trouble? Jus tice to Mr. Kclser prompts us to say that tills was not his best effort. He Will make a last and final attempt next year. Until another picnic season climbs the battlements and assembles the pretty lads aud lasses, we leave the balloon question, affording to our aeronaut what timo he needs for the maturity bf his plans.

Time and Place, tbo same as the last lesson. Tho rumnrkablo scene in tho upper room draws to a close. The disciples ure still standing around Jesus, who has now finished His discourse, Before a parting Prayer. It is the second Lord's Prayer, and is especially rich in thought and beautiful in the grand simplicity of iM language. This prayer stamps the master with Divinity and clearly portrays Him as the very Son of God. It must have been an occasion of great solemnity. The disciples nre filled with sadness because of tho discourse they have just listened to; they nro oppressed with the shadow of n coming disaster; their hcarli nro burdened with sorrow; an indefinable fear possesses them as tho night advances-. Risnowncaily mid night, and standing there, as was the custom of their nations. Jesus dfi'era the prayer which forms this Wssnn. Tho prayer is the more remarkable becAuse Jesus was Divine, and knew what Was about to transpire. Standing on the threshold of death, n death of shame nnd obloquy, lie prayed. As we turn to this prayer now nftcr 1800 yfiars of Gos pel light, its thought, Its expression, its Kimpleyet innjehtiebenuty, is exceedingly impressive. Stark it well. It is the utterance of Him who was about to give His lifea sacrifice for the world. lie asks His Father to glorify Him, thus manifesting His own glory, as they are one. Then IIo prays for Ilis dis ciples. He knows the trials they will havo toundergo, the difficulties they will have to pass through, the obstacles they will havo to overcome, and lie tpccinlly prays for them. Firbt, for their unity. That they may bo one in principle, cno in heart, one in harmony with the pur posses.of GoJ. And not for tho disciples only, but for- all Christians this unity is asked. That all Christians may have a unity of purpose arid principle, though differing in methods. Wo Should bo One in Christ as He is ono ir. God. Jesus prays for this oneness of feeling-, ami as tho years go by it is becoming more and more a part of our Christian life. There is more fraternity andiiberality between religious denominations to-day than ever. He prayn that they may bo kept from evil. Nbtliidt they ehoutd bo taken out of the world, but that they should be kbpt from evil. Evil is ever present with us in this world, but tlio Holy Spirit can keep us from falling into it. Christ wants Ilis disciples to liyo up right lives, and set a godly example to their fellow men. And Ho asks that they may be sanctified so as to properly fulfill tho mission upon which Ho has sent them forth into tho world. rtAnd for their eakes," Ho says, "i sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth." The Master closes his iiito'rcessiori by pleading for all His folloWersin all age's. Looking down tho long vista of time, Ho plo.ids for His children in tho days to come. And so we also hnvcan interest to-day in this parting prayer of our be loved Lord. lesson ittouonTS. 1.
