01t KKl to lbs Ptepls's Will. Lt IPartv
Homlnatlens n larongn tn Popular way.
Th attntloo ot the Democratic people
has bn called to the Crawford County
Sjitew of making party nominations,
Tktr can b no question as to the idyls
kllttyot selecting candidates by having
tk Demecratlo voters pass directly upon
th merits ot aspirants for office. It In
volvss essentially the crand and glorious
rtnclplea upon which our government Is
funded,naraely, that the wishes and desires
the masses are to be respected and that
tkirt which Is their will must be the law,
It Is tk only fair and honest way of mak
log nominations. No party boss or set of
koues; no bribery or dark conclave con
frnce can under this popular method of
beading tba people's wishes, dictate who
shall or who shall not be chosen for such
sal such an office, In the disposition of the
jsople as affected by a party majority. The
voters are suprtme; the candidates thus
selected are ot necessity the choice' of the
mntrammeltd constituency for It represents
tk will of, the majority.
Upon the principle that the will of the
majority Is to be respected every man who,
a an aspirant for office, submits his claim
to the rtal power of selection, could not
kick and growl, or bolt and help defeat the
tlckst on .account of some boss who bad
through some scheme or machine tactic
aompassed his defeat. Such an aspirant
would be placed upon a footing of equality
with avery other aspirant. The same pow
r that wuld pais upon his claim would
fas upon every other aspirant's claim.
Thus 1b all honor he could not find fault
r bolt ovr the tactics of some so-called
hsss. In this way of making nominations
the humblest Democratic votsr would be
jait'as great, just as Impottant and of just
as much Influence as he who by long asso
ciation had. been placed In a commanding
and dlctatory position, under the delegate
system.
Carbon county has oyer 3500 Democratic
Vetera. Under the delegate system a can.
dldat who would poll COO or 1500 of these
yotcs could be nominated as against the
nan who might poll 2000 votes. Under the
Crawford County System the 2000 would
kat the 600 or 1500 every time. Is there
aaythlog unjust or unfair about this?
Take for Instance a district like Lehigh
tea. A candidate might poll for his dele
gates 101 votes and his opponent 100, yet
la this poll the opponent would hays no
representation whatever although he had
within 1 vote ono-half of the entire vote
polled. To be specific his 100 votes as
against the 101 are certainly entitled to
seme consideration and proportionate In'
laence In the selection ot a candidate for
tk party. What Is true of Lehlghton Is
equally true of every other district In the
Mauty. No further arguing Is necessary
t show tk justice of leaving the Demo
cratic voter decide In a direct manner who
shall er who shall not be the party candl
dates. -Dwarf the Influence of the boss,
Abolish the machine for It Is unpopular,
aad sukstltuto Instead the will and wish of
tk Democratic people and there will for
all time be an harmonious patty, the one
essentia! to continued and honorable sue
ess at the November pollt.
The Adyooatk Is reliably Informed that
a resolution will be submitted at the meet
lag cf the Democratic County Meeting, on
August 20th, for the appointment of a com,
due u report a system of rules under the
Crawford County System for the consider
ation sf the County Convention ot 1888.
Ok Satuhdat, midst tub rom. of
-2nmedqrums and the buele's sad refral
the last sad rites were performed o'er the
kler f General Phil Sheridan, all that was
nee mortal of a great and brave man

years that span tba unlimited space In the

A candidate of his own desire James
t7. Afalloy, of the Lansford Record, will be
a candidate for the Democratic nomination
of associate Judge before tbe next conven
tion. It took Jimmy some tlaie to make
up his mind as to what he really wanted,
hot then Urge masses, tn brains as In any
thing else, moye slowly.
In Indiana the Labor party is organizing
against Harrison, and propose to do every
thing In, their power to compass his defeat.
They realise that tbe only-way to do that
b aot to put an electorlal ticket tn the
teld, but to unite with the Democrats. Tbe
Movement Is a formidable one, and It en
tered Into the proper spirit, will give Indi
ana' vote to Cleveland by 35,000 majority.

Han Anthony W. ltaudenbush, of town,
will be a candidate before tbe Republican
county convention for the re-notninat!on of

BROADBRIM'S N. Y. LETTER,
"Do you believe In luck?" "Of course
not. ' None but superstitious people believe
hi luck. This is an enlightened age we live
In. In tbe olden time, when people were
Ignorant and foolish, It was all very well to
believe In luck j but we've got past that now,
and don't you forget It!"
This was the reply of a very smart man
to mo last week when I asked him the ques
tion Indicated above. I was standing on
the corner of Twenty-third street and Sixth
avenue, In front of Levi M. Bates' dry.
goods store, while thousand of dollars
worth of costly silks, laces, cloths, Ac,
were going under theauctloneer'a hammer.
On the opposite corner the Masonic Hall
stands, a monument to tho energy of the
"Brethern, of the Mystic Tie." Fifty
yards from tbe northwest corner Is
Koster & Dial's beer garden, where hun
dreds gather nightly to see O'Connor
trayesty Shakespeare. But it Is with the
first corner named that I have to do now,
when I asked If .you belleyed In luck. A
hundred years ago, when the old poit-road
led out to the village of Blooming Dale,
right on this piece ot land was a famous
old mansion occupied by a family by the
name of Yon der Hyde. The house was
surrounded by well laid out ground, -and
back of It was a pleasant orchard reaching
far beyond the limits of the present Madi
son Square. It was In the year 1702, Sep
tember 12, that a mighty crowd ot excited
burghers might be seen surrounding the old
manor bouse, for early that morning Emeri
tus von der Hyde and his wife were found
murdered In their bed, and the house had
been robbed of silverware and valuables,
with which the robbers had escaped. The
murder caused a profound sensation, and
although the Yon der Hyde property was
one of tbe most desirable on tbe Island, It
was years before any one could be found to
occupy It. It was known far and near as
the haunted house. Late travelers riding
In the wee hours to and from Blooming
Dale, asserted that they heard unseemly
noises; lights flatbed oat from the windows
of the room where the murder had been
committed, and more than one was ready
to wear that they bad seen old Emeritus
Yon der Hyde and his wife looking out of
the windows their garments crimsoned
with blood as they were on tbe night of the
murder. Years rolled on and the old man.
slon was torn down, for bad luck seemed
to pursue It, no matter what business was
tried there. Failure after failure followed
It. About seventeen years aeo It was pur
chased by Mr. Edwin Booth, who Invested
In It all the earnings of bis lite, and also
Induced bis father-in-law, James McYickar
of Chicago, to back him in tbe venture, and
the result was Booth's Theatre, one of the
most magnificent temples of the drama eyer
erected In New York. Aided by the gonlus
and experience of Booth, Shakespeare was
produced here as it had never before been
seen In New York. The best actors, the
best scenery, tbe most gorgeous costumes,
everything that art could lend or genius
conceive, consplrefefor success, but all In
vain. The ghost of Emeritus Yon der Hyde
and bis wife walked the stage and sat In
the flies and flitted among the scenes after
the audience had departed; and one day
Edwin Booth marched out of the theatre a
ruined man; his fortune gone, his father-
in-law seriously crippled, and himself a
bankrupt, loaded with liabilities to tbe tune
of a hundred thousand dollars. The Dion
Bouclcault took it, and be went to the wall
In a feW weeks. Stetson of Boston, one of
the most successful managers In the United
States, tried It and came to grief after sink
ing a respectable fortune. He withdrew,
and no manager had the courage to try It
after him. Tbe building was then altered
Into stores. Tbe corner was thought to be
one of the very best In New York. It was
opened by a couple of experienced and en
terprising men as a dry goods store. All
around 'them and on every side were men
who had built up colossal fortunes Ic tbe
dry goods business; but bad luck followed
them trom the first, and when on tbe verge
ot bankruptcy they found a purchaser in
Loyl M. Bates, formerly of tho groat Broad
way firm of Reed, Bates & Cooley, a firm
which ranked wlthHcracoB. Claflin and A.
T. Stewart In their palmiest days, Tbe firm
dissolved a couplo of years ago, and
Mr. Bates retired on a million. Ills credit
was unimpeachable and bis experience un
questioned. Idleness did not Bgrce with
him, so he bought out tho firm on tho fatal
corner of Sixth nvenue and Twenty-third
street. The samo dark cloud that haunted
all tho rest followed him. With tho most
splendid stock ot goods In the city, and tho
most accomplished salesmen and women,
he could not sell enough to pay his ex
penses. Two weeks ago theSherlff stepped
ih and closed him up, and this week every
thing went under thoauctloncer'shammer,
Do yon believe In ghosts? No, sir. Arc!
you superstition? Not a bit of It. Would
you walk under a Udder? Not if I cnuld
get around It. Bel love In spirits? That
question savois of Prohibition, sir, and I
decline to answer.
The great rovlyal Is ended, and Broth
er Harrison has gonu to Sing Sing, where
we board about two thousand gentlemen at
the expense'ot tho State. Brother Hard
oh, at the closing meeting on Thursday,
said that tho day before the proprietor of a
great dally newspaper had sent for htm and
asked him to pray for him. Since then
everybody has been trying to find out who
the repentant sinner was. At first I
thought It was Tulltzer of "The World,"
but finally came to the conclusion that It
could not be him, as ho is generally re
cognized as being outside tho pale of .say.
lng grace. An earihquako wouldn't touch
Dana ot "The Sun." Then I thought of
Bennett of "The nerald," as he Is a fitting
subject for earnest prayer, and It occurred
to me that he might have sent a dispatch
by the Mackey-Bcnnett cable to tbe young
evangelist for prayer, On reflection I came
to tho conclusion that nothing but a. mir
acle could save him. It could not bo
Brother Bhepard of "The Mall and Ex
press," as he does not need prayers, being
already among tho elect. Could It be
Whttelaw Held of "The Tribune?" Pshaw,
no. The President of the profane Lotus
Club would never think of such a thing,
After much deliberation I settled down on
Henry Watterson. Mr Harrison did not
say it was a New York Dally but a great
dally newspaper. Now It any man needs
prdyer for bis salvation among tbo editorial
fraternity, with a good fighting chance of
being saved If bo will only repent of his
sins, that man is Henry Watterson of ''The
Louisvillo Courier-Journal." He would
not make a bad evangelist himself ; and
when he gets over his summer outing, If It
was known in Kentucky that Harrison
prayed for hlm.eycn the Star-eyed Goddess
ot Reform would have to take a back scat.
I am sorry to say that although two thous
and five hundred Is reported as the sum of
the spiritual harvest, not one single news
paper reporter has been gathered In. Early
last week it was given out-tbat a newspaper
reporter had risen and asked for prayer,
When they told me he belonged to "The
New York World." that settled It. Yet
who knows what may happen when Broth
er Harrison returns In tho fall :
"While the lamp holds out to bum,
The vilest Sinner may return."
"Man's Inhumanity to man "makes count
less thousands mourn." That's all very
fine, but you don't hear anything about
woman's Inhumanity to woman, Oh, no.
You shove It all on man. Yet In Booklyn,
right across the rlyer, Hves Mrs Greensl&dc,
a very worthy little Englishwoman, who
follows the vocation ot a" barber. Mrs.
Greenslade made tho mistake that lots of us
have made she picked out the wrong
fellow for a life partner, and did not find
out her mistake till the knot was tied so
fast that you could not untie it with your
teeth. Still Mrs. Greenslade made the best
of her bad bargain, and tried to earn an
honest living. She tried keeping boarding
house, but the, boarders eat her hash and
failed to pay ber. She turned dressmaker,
but she ruined the stuff and her dresses did
not fit. At last, In despair she started a
barber shop, and she practiced on Green
slade till she got her hand In, and then she
took a turn at the general public. Her first
customer was a gay old boy, who had
married a widow with ducats, about ten
years older than himself. Mrs. Greenslade
was rubbing In the lather under his chin
and was holding him tenderly by the nose
when Mrs. Curly walked into the shop,
To say that Curly got out of the chair In a
hurry, faintly describes what followed,
Mrs. Curly tipped the scales at 247; Mrs,
Greenslade turned the steelyards at 104 1-2;
but science made up the difference In
weight, and a razor turned the tide of bat
tle. After that the woman of the neighbor
hood turned against Mrs. Greenslade, and
eventually they drove her out. Her life
partner is a crank who Imagines himself a
prophet, and he now devotes his time to
proving that Judas was the most worthy of
tho Apostles. H'hen Belya Lockwood
came to Booklyn to open her fight for th
Presidency, Greenslade got himself up In a
base ball suit full of stripes, with a big red
heart on his breast, and sat right lirfront
of the fair speaker, applauding every word,
From there he went to the Salvation Army,
and he gave them such a dose that he land
ed In the police station. .Veanwliile the
women have banded against poor little Mrs.
Greenslade.
The storm of Saturday night struck us
very much like a Western cyclone. The
display ot celestial fireworks was some
thing marvelous. For three hours the sky
was a sheet of flame, and Its concentrated
fury burst on tbe works of the United
States Electrical Company, destroying a
portion of Its plant and burylug the city In
darkness from the City Hall to Fourteenth
Street. Forty of the workmen were
knocked down and fled from the burning
building. The storm raged with great
fury for several hours, and left the city as
clean as a new pin; for which, lightning
and all, Providence be thanked.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
W-ABMNaTON D. 0 Aug. 13, 1888
Mr. Editoh: Some few vears aeo Con.
gress passed a bill providing that, upon the
retirement or General Shermaui, there
should be no promotion made to fill the
Vacancy caused thereby, and that the rank
hot General should be discontinued. Only
three men since tbe beginning of tbe cen
tury have held the position. Scott. Grant
and Sherman. After the recent severe
attack of Illness of Lieut-General Sberlden,
as a mark of estem and honor, Congress
passed a special act re-establishing the
rank of General and promoting there to
th dying chieftain. A few short weln
only did he enjoy the honor, tbe "great
leveller," whose unwelcome appearance
was dally feared from the first, came at
last and claimed blm as Its own and now
the highest two ranks of the array, those
General and Lieut-General are vacant
General Sheridan, the hero of Winchester
and the greatest cavalry general of the
world, died on Monday last at Nonqultt,
Mass. Tbe remains were brought to
iraslilngton ahd tho funeral services weri
held at St. Matthews Roman Catholto
Church nn Saturday, Cardtnal Gibbons be
ing present and assisting.
The public offices were all closed by
order of the President. The funeral was a
military one and! several companies from
each branch of the service took part In tbe
services and marched In procession to the
National Cemetery at Arlington, where he
was left In tho midst of his former com
rades. A grcat'deal hns been written and said
about tho beautiful appearance of the
streets of Washington.
Within tho last fifteen ears more than
120 miles of street have been lined with
shade trees but the effort seems to have
been more for Iirmedlato effectjhan the
appearance of tho city In fifty or a hundred
years. About half the trees set out are
silver maple which grow rapidly and re
quire little ' care, but like most rapidly
growing trees are yery brittle and soon
decay. After tho sliver maplo the most
numerous trees are the poplar, basswood,
sycamore and Norway maplo. Thcso five
species will probably mako up nine-tenths
of all the trees tn tho city, the remaining
tenth consisting mostly of sugar maple,
olms, tulip trees and various exotics.
Senator Evarts Consumed two days last
week tn delivering a speech against the
passage of tho Fisheries BUI. It Is still un
certain as to when Congress will adjourn.
A great deal of Important work Is still be
fore It, and tho vacation between this ses
sion and the next will bo a very short one.
The month of July was unusually cool,
but now a hot August Is upon us .and
Government clerks by the thousands are
hurrying away from the city on their thirty
days leayo of absence allowed them by law,
As tho work at- the departments must go
on summer and Winter alike a great many
requests for leave have to be refused, and
the applicants will be compelled to wait
until those away return. For several days
In succession tbo temperature has been
abnvo 90, according to tho official reports,
but thero has been so much moisture In
ths air that thn heat has caused a great
deal of suffering. H.
OUR BU0K TABLE.
The midsummer holiday number of the
Cosmopolitan (for August) is the strongest
number eyer published by that bright
young magazine. Tho magazine has now
every appearance and assuranco of success,
being managed by a comblnatlou of pub
lshers who represent a half million of
capital, while Its editorial conduct remains
the same. There will be no change In Its
style or policy except to make It still more
crisp and journsllstlc, keeping It entirely
distinct fion the other magazines. There
certainly is room for sucli a monthly, and
the people are bound to recognize Its merits
because of its unparalleled cheap price.
