How TIIX PATRONS OK HUSBANDRY
PLCNICKD. —Tho Orange Society deserves
tbo most hearty congratulations for tho
pleasant manner in which its picnic was
conducted last Thursday. Nature lent it
aid in spreading before the upturned, ex
pectant face# of it# member# a clear, blue
sky, and a# the cool wind fanned their face
and tho sun beamed forth hi* loveliest,
all knew that a day of enjoyment was in !
store for them. Tho only possible excep. !
lion to a perfect picnic day could bo found ,
in the fact that tho early approach of Jack
Kro#t had rendered the air too cool for en- j
tire comfort in tho woods for those at ail j
sensitive to his icy touch.
The Patrons employ and understand j
the be#t way of entertaining their guests, in
that they do not bid them join in listening j
to long-drawn-out, burdensome speeches, j
or compel them to submit to a set form oi
exercises, but after reaching the place of j
enjoyment each one is allowed, a# in this j
instance, to follow the inclination of his
own sweet will, a* if the picnic were hi# i
own, always provided he confine himself i
within the bound# of propriety. The day J
was one of pure enjoyment to the hundreds i
who were present—such recreation a# !
weary mind and body seeks. Social inter
course, happy meetings of friends separated
perhaps for month*, exchange* of view* on ' 1
and domestic topics, occupied ' |
th'-so present. "Cupid" wa# t
is where young men s
present, as hewkfrlc, and many couples I
and maidens of his well- ! n
felt for the first time in- '
aimed darts. Many of
dulged in popular games, such as
pitching quoits, Ac., to the
of pleasod audiences.
We linger with peculiar pleasure on the
important feature of all picnics and the
doubly important one in this—the dinner, j
Patrons of Husbandry have gained by long
experience a capacity to stow away an un- j
usual quantity of the rich provision for :
the inner man which they raise on their
own rich farms, and the fresh air of Thurs- j
day last did not serve to decrease their j
natural appetites. The wonder was how so :
mueh as was spread before them could have
la-en conveyed to the mountain top. The
day throughout was pleasant and every
provision was made for the cnlertaimcnt
and comfort of those who were present.
But at last the declining sun warned all to
return home, and amidst clattering wheels .
and flying dust the picnicers passed down j
the mountain side, separated in various i
directions, and tho picnic was numbered I
among the pleasant occurrences of the past.
We print in this connection an address
of welcome delivered to the Patrons by J
District Master Leonard Khone ;
FEI.LOW PATRONS AND CITIZENS :
I can but feel gratetui for the high
honor conferred ujson me in being se
lected to make the opening address at
this sixth great annual gathering of
Patrons or Husbandry of Centre !
county.
I appreciate this expression of regard
the more highly from the fact that it j
rflmei from the farming class of our
county. lam glad that there are so
mitnT present on thia re union occasion
of the Patrons of Husbandry. I am
glad of the opportunity to meet once
more face to face with the Patron* of
Centre, Mitllin and Clinton counties,
and to express my gratitude for the
unvarying kindness and generous feel
ings they have ever manifested toward
me.
It ia with sincere pleasure that I per
form the duty that has been -assigned
me on this occasion as Master or the
Centre County Pomona Orange; to
tender to you all. Patrons, farmers,
mechanics, laborers, and those of avery
calling and pursuit who hare the mag
nanimity of heart and noblenesa of
mind to aay, Ood apeed to our beloved
order, a hearty greeting, and cordially
bid you welcome to our sixth annual
gathering, which has been east upon
this grand and pleaaant summit of Nit
tany mountain, a spur at the base of
the Alleghenies, from where, aa if in
forgetfulneaa, they lingered in fascina
tion, taking a long and final look aa it
were at the grand and beautiful Penn'a
Valley which spreads out so charming
ly below, from where the Alleghenies
roll up tier after tier to their crescent
till they appear like oroan wave# niut
storms petrified ; I welcome you from
the valley of the Went Branch; I wel
come you from the valley* of the Juni
ata and the Kishacoquillas ; I welcome
you from the mountain* and from the
river* and from the streams, who have
come up hither to celebrate our annual
autumnal gathering and "Harvest
Home." I invite you all to freely par
ticipate in the rich and unalloyed en
joyment of the day.
We have met together to-day from
all part* of our county and from ad
joining countie* for the purpose of ex
tending to one another Iriendly greet
ing*, and if possible to more firmly
unite and fraternise the element* of
agricultural life; to foster and cement
more *trongly by a mutual undemand
ing the great principles of the order of
Patron* of Husbandry.
A more fitting time for the Patron*'
r< -union could not have been chosen, it
being at tho closing day* ol summer,
day* of comparative leisure to the far
mer, and it is but natural for him to
join hi* fellow laborer* with their fami
lies for a day of festivities and general
enjoyment.
| A rural gathering for pleasure like
, this, away from the decorations of
| aitistic splendor in the city hall, or the
fashionable place* of the rich, sheltered
I only by the green foliage of the forests
jof the surrounding hill* which arc
turning into the sear leaf; the fresh
odors of an entire landscape coming to
u* on every passing breeze, and above
\ all as far as the eye can reach, well
J built home* and cultivated fields, the
I rewards of rural industry ; such plain
! ness, such natural and unfeigned siin-
I nlicity— such gushing impulses of rural
i friendship while partaking of their
; bounteous repast are in harmony with
the best impulses of our nature; who
I could here refrain from participating or
j sharing in the refreshing influences of
j such n gathering or re union of the
j people of the rural districts.
What scene more dignified or de
i lightful than to see as we have here
hundreds of happy, intelligent farmers
i collected from ail parts of our county
and adjoining counties, not to engage
in political and party strife, but to meet
together for their country's good, con- j
suiting how lie-l to promote and fra
ternize in bond* of union the once dis
tructcd and divided agricultural class
of our country, with no warring ele
ments, no ht-art-burnings of any sort,
but peace and good will animating
every l>o*oni; bringing into social and
profitable intercourse those who would
otherwise have remained strangers and
estranged fo one another, Mr. Presi
dent, shhuld not such scenes be well
calculattfd to gladden the heart of every
wise and good citizen of our govern
ment? Hut if you please go back with
me only twelve years to the time be
fore the 'establishment of the order
of Patrohs of Husbandry in the county
—what a contrast you will find between
the agilcultural class then and now;
the fartyiers were divided nnd indiffer
ent to ope another, and had no such
gatherings as the Patron* havo held in
our couopy for the last five or six year#
and a# w-• find here to-day; they were -
then dividAsl and under the entire con
trol of politicians and demagogues who
periodicall U*ni|likc traveled the
country in interest of |>oliticai
l-arties to stir rap strife in the rural dis
tricts upon issifte* that were merely par
isan in character and ruinous to the
igricultural claws and to the country.
It was politic* that plunged
ur country into nvil war; it is partisan

the farming and indust, of
our country. It wa* i>V,
that prevented the from
organizing in the past, to tueir almost
irreparable injury and ruin. Hentle
men, we understand the issues that are
kept before the jieople for partisan pur- 1
poses, they are of no inteie<t to the ag
ricultural class or for the good of our
country. You can continue to trot out
all the hoodlum# of the drinking saloons
and gambling hell# to the primary elec
tion# for the solo purpose of keeping
out the intelligent farmers, mechanic*
and laborers ; tut, sirs, you cannot bind
u by your actions at the polls. We
give you fair warning that the intelli
gent farmer will not vote with any party
that will not recognize and honor the
farming cl**, which form# one half of
our country. We ask no special favi r*
excepting those that our number* and
intelligences entitle u# to. We want
the agricultural class, that composes
2'.fX10,000 of the people of our country,
represented ; we want an economical
and just administration of the laws; we
want peace and prosperity for our
country.
The farmer*, as American citizenr, are
tiled of your State sovereignty, specie
payment# and unlimited paper curren
cy. We want a united people ; we want
a currency that will be of equal advan
tage to the farmer and money-lender,
that will build up the industry of our
country.
The 0 range is not a political party j
it put* no candidates in the field ; as
such, it* principle# are a* high above
partisan politics aa the brilliancy of the

The Orange ia not political, yet the
principles we teach underlie all true
polities, all true statesmanship. The
educating principles of the Orange have
already commcrieiKl their work among
the people. TUB fanner no longer care*
for the Democratic, Hepublican or any
other parties aa partisans. We ask no
special favors of any political organiza
tion, but we demand what la ours by
birth, hy right and by the honors that
should be ours.
Self-protection, to say nothiitg of the
honors of the farming class, demands
that tha farmers receive an equal pro
portion of the positions of honor and
trust in our government according to
our proportion of the population.
The farmer* have learned through
the Instrumentality of the Drango, that
it is not llio funning I-IILIK in tint South
or the funning claim in tho North that
kocpH uji tho bitter noctionul strife in
our country ; hut that it in kept up hy
demagogues, idler* and hoodlum* of
corrupt jjolitical rings for partisan pur
pose*.
The National (Irange of the Patrons
of Husbandry has met in southern and
northern cities, welcomed alike and un
molested in the expression of our opin
ions, the liu mors receiving one unother
in fraternal greetings as brothers and
sisters, pledging each other, at the Altar
of our beloved < 'rder, fidelity anil friend
ship lis long us time shall last.
- 1 welcome these aged men and women
before me, who have journeyed up hith
er, as it were, to make their last offering
upon the Altar ol our Order, and to
perform the last great rites of honor and
blessing upon those of us who are
younger in years, I feel just like going
down there among you and learning
lessons of wisdom from your trial* and
tribulations, and to pledge to you our
fidelity and devotion to our beloved
Order. Of wo appreciate your solici
tude und nobleness of character, of yet
in your old age having the opportunity
ot witnessing the consummation of your
long wished for alliance and union of
our people. Poets may sing and histo
rians write of deed* of valor and hero
ism, hut yours will out-live them all
and will be appreciated hy future |ror
terily and will permeate uil the ramifi
cations of society down to the last cycle
of time. I welcome the young people—
the boys and girls who are the hope of
our Order. The places of those ogod
people that I just spoke of, in the
(•range, you will soon he called on to
occupy. If we get the young people
into tho Orange we will soon have all
the old people—don't you see it? they
will he the old people after a little
while. We have forms and ceremonies
entirely suited to your tastes, and you
would he delighted with them. Then
the Orange also opens the way for you
to honor, to positions and to usefulness
in society. The destiny of our Order
and our country is soon to he placed in
your hands. This material must he had
to build up and to perpetuate the
Orange edifice.
In the language of the Mmilor of the
National Grange "let u* firmly resolve
that all geographical discriminations be
forever ignored ; that there he no Mason
and Dixon'* line ; no sectional or spe

in our country. Devoted to the inter
ests of a common cause, let u* meet
ti|>on a common level and act in per
petual unity, ever striving, through the
education of the masses, for the perma

united, prosperous, free and happy
people, down to the latest syllable of

Rvrratxi, Sept. 25.—ne of the bold
est attempts at abduction was made
here on Tuesday afternoon, the fact*
of which have but just come to light. A
young man named ''harles K. Schuyler,
of I.ittle Falls, N. Y. f a telegraph oper
ator. called on the sixteen year old
daughter of one of our prominent citb
rens on the afternoon of Tuesday,
while she was attending school, repre
senting that he was employes! in her
father's office { that her father bad
l>een injured by the
and that he „ , ' 1 1 ■
|, er in by him to hring
accompanied Schuy
dPnothe place where it was represen
ted that her father was lying, tin en
tering a room Schuyler locked the
door, seised the young lady, and. telling
her of hi# purpose to keep het a pris
oner until a certain sum of money had
been paid, forced her to cony the fol
lowing part of a letter to her father
which he had written :
"Tifnr I\tpa : I ask you to give this
man SSOO, for unless he raises that sum
within a week he is ruined. He pledges
you his word anil honor that it shall be
returned to you in AO days. For this
loan he ha* no security to offer you ex
cept myself, whom he ha* in keeping.
He muit have it immediately, within a
week. So long a* I think you intend
to pay this sum just *o long shall I be
kindly dealt with, but at the first indi
cation "
At this point she stopped writing and
begged to be released, promising to
rnise the required sum and bring it to
him. <>n her swearing to never disclose
what had happened she was released.
Yesterday she told her father what had
taken place. Schuyler was arrested
last night at a late hour, and this morn
ing he confessed hi* crime. <n his per
son was found a letter to the father of
the young lady saying in substance
that he had his son Willie, aged aix
years, in custody, and would release
bim on the payment of SS,QUO. If the
sum was not forthcoming the child
would be drowned. The names of
a number of children of wealthy resi
dents, with their homes, were also
found on his person.

Saturday last was a red-letter day in
tho history of the Democracy of the
Cumberland Valley. Tho trains on the
Cumberland Valley ami South Moun
tain railroads specially provided for the
occasion were loaded down with human
freight en route for the great Democratic
picnic at Pino Orove. Two trains left
this city, one lit 7:.'10 A. M. and another
at '8 A. M., with about two hundred
Harrishurg Democrats on board. As
they proceeded up the valley evoiy
station contributed its dozens and fifties
and hundreds until finally at least fi,ooo
people were congregated at the grove.
Cumberland, Adams, York, Dauphin
and Franklin were represented in the
gathering. The eight o'clock train
had among its passengers Daniel
O. Rarr, Kan., the Democratic candidate
for Slate Treasurer, Senator Wallace,
Congressman Beltzhoover and other
distinguished Democrats. There were
bands of music everywhere and the
votaries of Terpsichore trip]>ed it on
the light fantastic toe as if to show the
Republicans how light-hearted people
are whose consciences are clear of the
great fraud hy which the theft of the
I'residency was accomplished. There
was perfect order on the ground and
not a drunken man was to he seen.
Hundred* of ladies also graced the oc
casion with their presence. After an
excellent dinner served under the aus
pices of that prince of caterers. Rarney
Wilder, ot Carlisle, the meeting was or
ganized and Senator Wallace was in
troduced a* the first speaker. We have
room for onlv a brief synopsis of tbfi
Senator's address, as follows :
Senator Wallace said : The industries
of tho country are reviving, und
prosperity i* slowly returning. This is
the result of the distribution of the*
force* of labor, and of the application
of the surplus labor in the mines and
manufactories to agricultural pursuits.
It is not the fruit of legislation, but it
is the result of the thrift, economy and
productive energies of the people, aided
by a largo foreign demand for our
staples. 1* this renewed prosperity to
he permanent? Will it continue when
the countries we are now feeding shall
again he blessed hv abundant harvests ?
What would be the condition of this
country, if there were no foreign de
mand for our products? How are we
to imuro a market for what we produce
in the future ? Can we do it by caus
ing division* among our own people,
and by arraying one section of country
against another, hy Haunting the
"bloody shirt" and crying down with
the "Confederate brigadier ?" <tr shall
we recognise the fact that the actual
market for our manufactures is in the
South and aid to restore our market
by reetoring unity, peace and good gov
ernment throughout the whole country.
The only security for a continuance o(
the |>eriod of prosperity now ai>out
breaking upon our I'ennsylvsnia indus
tries is to Le found in restoring the
whole country to the condition of one
prosperous and united jieople. We of
l'ennsylvania are more interested jjy
this question than any olher*qif7 0 0 f
the 1 tljo workshop
true protection
Tor I'ennsylvsnia's industries is in the
restoration of peace and good fellow
ship to all.
Ihe Democratic party has had some
division* upon financial questions, but
its tendency today ia to a common ;
ground. That is the equalization'of the
dollar in every form to a common value.
Hold and silver are the basis of our cur
rency ; all paper redeemable therein ; i
and one leading thought upon which we
shall rest ourselves i* that the debt of
the people ia to be managed in the in
terests of the people, and not in the in- -
teret of syndicates and bankers. This
debt is to be paid to its uttermost farth
ing, but to be paid with the least bur
den of oppression upon the people 1
themselves. The power of money thro'
the various ramifications of the Federal
government is one of the curses of the j
present administration of Federal pow
er. Ninety thousand office holders, with
their salaries paid by the Federal gov
ernment, amounting to many millions,
are a source of corruption to the Repub
lican organisation at every election.
This fund and these office holders con
stitute the anchor that keeps the Re
publican party in power. This fund ia
one of their great inducement* to the
centralisation of the government. Cor
porate power, and every interest that
leels its need to take privilege* from the
|>eople, unite in the demand for con
tralization and a strong government.
We talieve in governing from the bot
tom, not from the top. The individual
is the unite in government. To him
belong all rights, save those which are ■
vital to social order, and thoae belong
to the government for the safety of the
whole. When they verge upon the
rights of the |>eople, they are to be jeal
ously watched, Government* in town
ship organisations, in county control,
and in State affair*, having the direct
application of the individual thought to
the affairs of the localities, are infinitely
better in guardingsnd protecting against
corruption and wrong than a system
which ramifies from one common head
at Washington, and attempts to control
local affairs in the extremities. The
former correct* and purifiea itself; the
latter inevitably produce* corruption
and wrong, without a remedy. Federal
election lawa and troops at the polls are
but another outgrowth of the central
ising tendencies of the Republican par
ty. These are to be met solely by the
argument that they trespass upon the
rights of the individual, taking from
him privileges that belong to him to
place them unnecessarily and improper
ly in the hands of those who oontrol the
Federal government.
The issue* in Mute affairs to day are
important to u* as apeople. The Dem
ocratic party hat bad no control of both
House* of tho Htate legislature, for the
last nineteen year*. Whatever ol shame
haa come to tie in our legislative affair*
u justly and properly chargeable to tho
Republican organization. Any stain
that has b*n placed upon tho escut
cheon of Pennsylvania lies at the door
or the Republican party. Have we not
hod enough of shame and contumely
from the conduct of Legislatures of our
. tate ? Ha* not the the time come to
change this f Are we to continue to
have the pollution that produces public
prosecutions and corrupt alliances at
every session of the Legislature? Are
we to change this hy changing the ad
ministration in the control of State af
fairs? Our candidate for State Treas
urer, a gentleman of character and pur
ity, the nominee of the party, made
without dictation, is before you for your
suffrages. His opponent is the nominee
of the men who control and dictate the
legislation of your State, and upon
whom rests the responsibility for the
present disgraceful condition of affairs.
HUM not the time come to intrust our
State affairs to different control and in
safer hands ?
Ex-Congressman W. 8. Ktenger follow,
ed Senator Wallace in an elaborate and
forcible address which was listened to
with rapt attention by the immense au-
I dience. W. t T . Ilensel, for)., of Lamas
! ter, also addressed the meeting in an
able and effective manner. The four
: o'clock train brought ,S|>eaker Randall
j to tho ground who made the closing
speech in his usual logical and convinc
ing style. The best of feeling prevail
ed among the assembled Democrat* and
the affair was an entire success. Mr.
j 'iuswiler, the chairman of the Demo
i cratic county committee of Cumberland
: county, received much praise for his
; management of the picnic, and the
j officers of the Cumberland Valley and
i -South Mountain railroads deserve the
thanks of the Democrat* in attendance

excursion trains.

Mollie Jarhoe, two disreputable white j
women, were also arrested Saturday for
complicity in the frauds. The Miller
woman confessed to having personated
Sophia Cuffner, Bridget Kearns, Elixa
Mahoney, Mary Kelley and Emily A.
Kennerson. The Jarboc woman's role
wa* to swear to the other's identity.
The origin of the frauds was the theft,
nine year* ago. of forty pension certifi
catea by a discharged clerk named ('raig,
who distributed them among half a
dozen persons, among them Brown, who
wa# a Pullman car conductor. They
were all belonging to widow* of invalid
pensioners, and the Miller woman has,
it appear#, traveled between Baltimore
and Philadelphia, peraonaling the va
rious women on her list belonging to
each nlace. Over $."i0,000 has been ob
tained on these stolen certificates, anil ;
information concerning claims for which i
there were no applicant*, etc. The
new prisoners, together with Thornton
Dsvi# and Andrew I/ewia, will appear
before Judge Nnell to-day.

TH* DEATH-RAT* or—Our country is
getting to 1* fearfully alarming, the aver
age oflife being lessened every vear, with
out any reasonable cause, death resulting
generally from the most insignificant ori
gin. At this season of the year '"specially,
a cold is such a common thing that in the
hurry of every day life we are apt to over
look the dangers atterding it and often
find too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble
hssalree<l v set In. Thousands Jose their
lives in this wsy every winter, while hsd
Bo scAcc s Grrmea Syrup been taken, aoi T
would have resulted, snd s large bill from
s Doctor tieen avoided. For all diseases of
the Throat and Lungs, /fosrAce's German
Syrup has proven itself to be the greatest
discovery of its kind in medicine. Svery
Druggist in this country will tell vou of
iU wonderful effect. Over 960.000 'bottles
sold last year without a single failure
known. Sold by F. POTTS GEEKN,
