TheCarbon Advocate LEniOHTON, PA.. 8ATUKDAY. MAT 18, 18S3. uimucb at Tim UHinitTOH rosT-orriosi AS EROIfD CLASS MA IX, XATTKK. HOTICB TO DEMOCRATS. Notice li hereby given that an alteration r amendment to the rules and regulations governing the Democratic Organlxatlon In Carbon county will be made at the next Democratic County Convention, In accord' ance with Artlclo 10th of the Democratic Utiles adopted In 1870, so as to abolish the present delegate system and substitute tho eo-called Crawford county system. We gtre this notice at this time because cdUor Ranch of the Mauch Chunk Democrat, In last week's Issue makes the following time ly and sensible sucgestlons bearlne directly pon this point: "As it is an admitted ImDOssibllltv to formulate a conferee system that will fair ly represent tno number ot voters in each connty without giving Northampton abso lute power over all tho rest why not cut thd matter short by adopting tho Crawford county system, to enable every Democrat In the district to cast his ballot direct for his favorite candidate. Thoro would be either confereo pocketing nor rotten bor tugh representation in that. It would be he an open, fair and square submission of the Congressional question direct to the people, where by right it belongs." The prlnciplo here set forth Is Just as Mund when applied to county offices. If ot.'why not? Br Request, A TARIFF 8 TOBY.

It is a small brick house, which they have bought with their hard earnings of a building association. The bricks were taxed 20 per cent., the lumber taxed 10 per cent, and the paint 64 per cent.

BOTES IN BIO P0LITI03. From the Boston Ilcrald. That Mr. Chauncey M. Dopew is preparing to do the successor of Mr. Blalno Is becoming moro Vident conttantiy. Jlfr. Depew omits no opportunity to compliment the latter and to renew his allegiance to him as a candl date. If this thing continues much furth er, it will go far to be believed that Mr. Depew is a good deal of a politician. While Mr. Sherman and even Mr. Allison re new apparently laboring fortbemselres. Mr. Depew is proceeding upon the Scrip turesthat he who losses himself shall find his profit in tho end by the act. From the Commercial Qaieltc. The resent probability is that William L. eott of Pennsylvania will bo made Chair man of the National Committee in place of W. H. Barnum, whose loyalty to Cleveland la disputed. Scott Is the chosen confidant and chief manager of tho President for a second term. Though never before recog nized as a political leader, he has suddenly come to the front solely by Cleveland's favor. He now stands In closer confidence with the President than all the Cabinet eemblned. From the Boston bally Advertiser. In circles friendly to Mr. Blaine's nomina tion for President we find that a feeling exists that before the Convention meets he will, in unequivocal terms, dpcllne the nomination. That is the general under standing in this vicinity amoDg tho best In formed Republicans. Chairman Cooper will probably not open the Republican State headquarters before the National Convention has been held. The party organization is however, la admirable condition, and the preliminary work will not be neglected in the mean time. Says a Republican exchange. From the Albany Times. Mr. Cleve land has no residence In Buffalo, none here In Albany, none anywhere In this or any other State, and consequently will have no vote, even in the campaign where It is proposed that he shall head the Demo cratic ticket. The Republican National Convention will be held at Chicago. Illinois, June 10th, 1888, when candidates for President and TIce President will be nominated. Broaabrim's M York Letter. Special to the Cahbon Advocate. When the Rev. Doctor Talmage finished his bitter and scathing sermon on spirit ualism, every man, woman and child in the congregation felt that it was the key-note of a fight. The reverend doctor talks like a fighter, he acts like a fighter, be looks like a fighter, and he Is a good fighter at leag range. Ha reminds me very much of the Irishman who went out to fight a duel vlth a Frenchman. The Frenchman was sick, so his second approached the Irish Man's second and said, "My dear sir, my principal Is so weak that he can hardly stand; would you have any objection if he should loan against yonder milestone?" "Not In the lasts, sur; not In the laste, if yen will grant me a favor?" "Certainly, certainly," said the Frenchman. "Thin," said the Irishman, "my principal Is wake teo, an I would like to have him lane gainst the other milestone." It Is very possible that Judge Abram H. Dally i not quite as well known in Tim hnctoo or Nova Zembla as Doctor Talmage Is, bnt to the two or three millions of people la and about New York he is as well known as the Tabernacle pastor, and la private or public bis word wlU go as far and his character Is just as good as the Doctor's. Jadge. Dally replied to the Doctor's bitter phllliplc by challenging him to an open dis cussion in the largest assembly hall In Brooklyn. He offered to defray ooe-half of the expense and promises to furnish such proofs In open daylight as should convince the Doctor, but Mr. Talmage refused to meet him, denouncing spiritualists as liars ad fools. Now Judge Dally Is a gentle- i f cnaracitr,er txluulrt prsstue as a lawyer, and n gentleman every way as worthy of consideration and belief as Doc- torTalmnge himself. When he denounces thegreit body of spiritualists as liars and fools, that proves nothing but the Doctor's ill manners and bad temper, both of which are but lndlfforent recommendations tor a first-class clergyman. Judge Dally asserts on his honor, that ho has seen materializa tions, and that they have approached him and ho touched thorn, and then that thev vanished Into thio air. There are many of us who do not and cannot believe all this; but this man says ho saw It, not once but often, and uls word would uo takon in any court of justice just as soon as Doctor Tal mage's, or that of any clergyman in New York or Brooklyn. Some allowance must bo made tho Rev. Doctor on account of the cxpcrlenco of the past few weeks, brought out In the trial of the bogus Edltha Moirtcz, alias Madam Diss Debar. This notorious creature, tripped up in effecting the ruin of old jjUtner .uarsu, appears in court with another woman's husband, and the old wretch Diss Debar gets up in open court and acknowledges that he has a wife and children In Philadelphia, whom ho calls his financial wife, and turning lotlnglv to tho brazen harlot at his side with tho eyes of judge, jury and a thousand people flxod up on him, tells the court without a bluih that "this is my spiritual wife." Such moral degradation has seldom been witnessed In a court of Justice before. No wonder tbat tho Doctor's blood grew hot when he read it, and be felt like his Master when he seized a whip ana arova tue monoy cnang ers from tho court of tho Temple. Whether It legitimately belongs to It or not, spiritualism has had a deal of free love tacked on to It; and all through this Diss Debar trial tho court room has been full of men and women acknowledged spiritual ists, who have applauded Diss Debar when ever ho declared his intention to stick by tho woman bo called bis spiritual wife. Now. tho Society for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Children has taken earn of her son and daughter, Luther Marsh haying turned them out of doors, and just in the mldstf of our spiritual excitement, Kate Fox, one of tho great Fox sisters, turns up in a Harlem police court as a poor drunk ard unfit to take care of her children, two boys, who have been brought up In gross Ignorance, she seldom having sent them to school. H'liat a fate I Here is the woman that startled the ball of spiritualism rolling till It circled the great globe, millions of people have sat entranced in tier presence, and, notwithstanding the closest investiga tion, she has never boon detected in her tricks, bhn has made and spent a dozen fortunts. She married a German Baron and lived In a castle with' retinues of ser vants, horses, carriages and gold and lovfols calore: but thoy aro all eono now. and the wretched old woman, a slave to drink, finds no spirits to como to her aid row that sbo needs them as woman seldom needed them before. Her sister married Captain Kane, the Arctic explorer. In view of these palpable results a charitable margin of allowanco must bo made for Doctor Talraage's righteous Indignation, though it would havo been more satisfac tory to tho great body of his admirers If, instead of shootins at ions ranee, be had tackled Judgo Dally at close quarters, and as far as such a question can be settled,had knocked him out on the first round. "It is the Tcry error of the moon that comes moro near tho earth than she was wont and makes men mad." Three suicides last week startled the City of Churches, for thoy wero all rich Brooklyn men, though doing business In the city of New York. Mr. Do Baun. tho cashier of the Park Bank, did not blow his brains out or hang uimseir, out no committed moral suicide, nevertheless, when he robbed the bank that trusted him for twenty years, of $100,- uuu and lied, lie sat high in the sanhedrim of the elect of Brooklyn, for tho reason that ho was the honored representative of one or tne siauncnest ana richest sanies in the United States. In a few vears. in the due line of succession, he might hope to risa to tho presidency. As it was ho was just on the eve of promotion to a place with a salary of $12,000 por year. The shock at this man's crime can scarcely be im agined, for ho was loved and honored and trusted by all who knew him, and no jiving man suspected him of being a thief till he ued. His friend ITIlllam T. Plilnnard took a different method of balancing his books; he did it with a 32 caliber pistol, and that was tho end of him. He was once a rich broker but fortune fled from him and with fortune friends; ho could not face poverty, hard work and old ago, so he blow his brains out. James H. Hunting, another stock broker. a friend of Phippard and De Baun, blew bis brains out at the door of Cyrus Field's office. Do you waut to know what brought about all these tragedies? A very simple cause indeed QamblingI Not altogether in stocks, though thoy all lost money that way, but in a quiet little gentlemanly game of poker. Night after night they tried it for years; the losses at first did cot seem large, sometimes not moro than ten or fif teen dollars, and again cettlng up from tho tablo at three or four o'clock in the morning,, loss a couple of hundred. Hun dreds wero swept away ln this manner, then thousands; then they took chances to make thtir losses good. They'd soon be all right, and thoy went on, on, on I It is the same old storv told a thousand times. ending in shame, misery and death. There are few such thieves of honor and honesty as that same gentlemanly game of poker, wuicu uai ruinea anu Killed moro decent men than all tho iaro camea or montn games In the land. La Tosca is tired of her hnsband and now applies for a divorce from him. Mrs. l'rice, nee fanny Davenport, does not like tbo Idea of her husband going oil with Miss Margaret Mather as her agent, and Mr. Price do6S not like Mr. Mulbourn McDowell as his wife's leading man in La Tosca. Miss Davenport Bays that Mr. Prico has been. very naughty, and tho pro voking part of the business is tbat Mr. Price don't deny it, and says, What aro you going to do about it? As there is but one cause on which absolute divorces are granted in New York, and as Mr. Price virtually acknowledges that he has given ber that cause, she will get her divorce with small delav. and as Mr. MeDnwnll h got rid of bis troublesome rib, perhaps we shall see what wo shall see before the snow tiles. The Methodist Conference that has been In sosslon this week at the Metropolitan Opera House, has been one of tho most notable gatherings of thelyear. A bitter and acrimonious fight bas been made by tho woman delegate question, and both parties are religiously convinced that they are right. In a committee of sixteen, eleven reported against the admission ot women, and among them, to my astonish ment, I saw the name of Warner Miller. It Is reported that Mr. Miller has had the Presidential bee faintly buzzing in his bonnet. If the day ever does come when he makes a start for the iKblte House, he'll have reason in the hour of defeat to repent of the vote he cast against women on the third day of May, 18SS, while a delegate to the Methodist Conference. To my thinking the women delegates who were locked out wero by far the brightest, handsomest and most intelligent looking portion of the Conference, and If thev had given us outsiders a chance to vote the women would havo gone In with a rush. But patience, ladles, there's a good time coming; these hide-bound uld fogies can't live forever, there will be lots of smart women left atter they are all dead, and then the women can capture the conven tion and turn ail the objectors out of meet ins, and let them join the Hard-shell Baptists or the Salvation Army. , "The law's delay," is a favorite figure of speech, and at times she is a slaw, baltinc, old jade. But Charles Rickard, one of tho finest, has nothing to complain of on that score, for he was detected In a robbery on Tuesday morning about five o'clock; bis case went before the Grand Jury at ten; at one o'clock he was brought into court, where he pleaded guilty to an indict ment for grand larceny; at two o'clock he was sentenced, to State's Prison, and at half past four he was in his cell at SingSIng. The robbery, capture, indictment, sentence and execution all being compassed within eleven hours and a half, Mr. Sheppard, of the Mall and Express, Is the latest addition to New York journalism, and In as much as the Mall and Express Is private property, and Is run to suit Its owner, I don't see that any one Ik privileged to find fault with anything he does, especially as he Is abundantly able to pay for his amusement, being a son-in-law of the late IFm. H. Vanderbilt. He startled our wicked editors by putting scriptural texts at the head of his columns calling sinners to repentance, and every liter and reverter la New Ytrk tatagat It was aimed directly at him. His latest fad Is forbidding profane swearing in the ofilco of the Mail and Express. Why. this is attackincthe Hbertvof thnnressl Whv. even tho Independent allowed icporters to swear on Monoay afternoons, and tho Christian Advocate nay lme after twelve o'clock nl nlf ht. In tbo Sun oftloo awrar lne is allowed Jibndays. Wednesdays and Fridays. In the Tribune ofilco tho rule Is mild forms of objurgation after Mr. Whlto law Reado has retired. In tho World ofilco the principal swearing Is dono by Pulitzer in person, ably assisted by Colonel uock rlll and Ballard Smith. In the Times ofilco profanity Is of a mild tjpo, and all tho other papers lndulgo more of less. What Is the world coming to when n printer can't swear a little? Knock a form of tho Mall and Express into pi, and if Brother Sheppard passes safely through we'll think oi it. Truly yours, BROADBRIM, OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER PlULADftwniA Pa., May 15, '88 That was a wonderful operation that Dr, T. H'eb.'tcr Fox, the eminent oplhalmlst. performed about two weeks ago unsm the oyes ot a jus. smck. i uo iauy through constant mnammallon or the eyes had be come totally blind. In consulting Dr. Fox ho suggested that it she wero willing to submit to an experiment bo would endeav or, and he believed bo would be ablo to do it, to restore her sight. The consent was Given, and Mrs. Snick was directed to bo at tho Gcrmantown Hospital to bo opeiatcd upon the following Sunday. Fox com menced his opera Ions by deadening the nerves wnu cocaino and then by an Instru ment specially manufactured In Germany. for said purpose, removed the corner of the patients eye. This part of tho work fin ished a similar operation was performed upon a rabbit nnd tbo corner of tho rab bit's eye transplanted or grafted Into the space of tho woman's oye. The bandages were now applied and maintained In place for one week, and upon removal examina tion proved that the graft had taken that is, that a portion from the rabbit's cyo had grown to a similar space in the woman's oye, and ns a result tho woman was able to see aeain. This Is the first operation of the kind in America and only the second In the history of the world. A great Ger man doctor wun the co-operation of Dr. Fox had.the honor of Innovating this moth od of treatment. Sclenco accomplishes some very wonaenui things for the human family. The longer wo livo (he moro as tonishing the achievements. U'liat the next thing accomplished will be.no one knows, but in the light of later develoD- ments it would not be so very surprising If a counier poise oi aeain would be dlscoy ercd. This would only be in lino of the assertion of Dr. Hammond, that there is such a medium as to maintain nlivsical life unending. Il'cll is it said "there are, stranger inings in iieaven ana earth, Ho ratio, than thou hast dreamed of In thy nlillnflnnlit." What struck Billy Sowden. It hit him as though lammed with a sledce-hammer. The President assigned some good reasons for the veto of the Allentown Post-ofllce bill. But tbo question that agitates some people is whether it was the cood reasons that did it or tho idea, that Is somewhat associated with bowden. that "I am a ble- ger man than Grover." Opinions seem to be divided, Democrats generally accept the "good reasons" while their opponents seem to think the "blgcer man" did it. No matter what was the cause it was a wise veto. The blegost mourner oyer it is that tariff-ridden, mononolv-shr ekiner oriran. the Philadelphia Press. Sowden no doubt is very mad, but he evidently forgot a speech, an excellent spcecn in every respect, ho de livered two days previous to tho veto. It was a sensible attack directed against tho iiiver ana iiaroor mil, appropriating some $20,000,000 for the Improvement of some harbor aud more little streams. In this speech the Lehigh Repicsentatlve descanted very heavily upon the extravagance and profligacy Involved In the measure. Mak ing inquiries right and left of Congressmen whether they had secured thelt portion of mo "porn-- appropriation lor their sup port of tho measure, His eloquence knew no bounds when ho pictured tho Nemesis for such members, the like which overtook representatives of 1882 who then aurmortpil a similar bill, though only appropriating $10,000,000. Sowden was consistently against this kind of "pork," but is mad at Deing Knocxea out or mo post-olllce "pork' which is only another Bpecies'orfratjd." That sounds well Hon. S. S. Drther for Judgo of tho Supreme Court. Tho Democrats could go much further and not find a moie competent, better .qualified nor abler man for the exalted position.
