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,

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.

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.

That was a wonderful operation that Dr,

performed about two weeks ago unsm the

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

Fox had.the honor of Innovating this moth

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

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

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."
