ing lost power." 1'ioin the Republican Slain
I'l.ilfoun.
That election ihawelli hIkIi Is ituli
raled again by the Times' perennial
howl about an ullpgeil liepnblican in
tent to "bribe voters, corrupt eloiition
hoards and procure the stuflins- of bat
lot boxes." AVo never know this: cry
to bo raiBcd honestly op to be followed

Times Ignorance.
WK St'PPOSE it Is ignor
ance on the part of the
Times that pauses It to
say that the slate de
rives no interest on stale funds.
Banker Iynett ought to know better.
Three years aeo the legislature passed
a bill requiring- the conversion of this
interest into the state, treasury. A Re
publican member drew the bill timl a
Republican governor signed it.
The fact remains that not a dollar of
state money lias ever been lost or stolen
tinder Republican management of the
I'ennsylvanln treasury. All kinds, of
charges have been made. Rut there
the record stands. We challenge the
Times to name a htate in the Union
with a better record. It cannot iinine
one. It can only rehash the scandal
.which the courts have pronounced
falso and by the persistency ot its
defamation hope to confuse a few
voters who never hear the other side.
If there were a chance for the state
treasurer to get his hands into tho
public till, do you suppose Ijynett and
his crowd would bo supporting a Re
lubllcan for that olllce? Not a bit ot
It. They would bo going for it them
selves. It is not a Democratic liubit
to support Republicans for oillces of
profit. The best proof that under the
law as it stands tho state treasurer has
no chance to juggle with the moneys
o the people Is found In tho fact that
tho Democratic ring- leaders are will
ing to forego a chance of electing one
of their own number. AVe doubt Hint
they did this for nothing.
A vote for Hitchcock Is a vote for
Kowcomb. It you want Xewcomb elect
ed, say so directly.
Making Buller the Scapegoat.
TIIIO ACTION' of the Rtitish
war ofllce In relation to Cien
cral Sir Reavers Buller is u
conclusive proof that It Is in
watch of a scapegoat. The action Is
based upon the fact that lit a speech
made a few days ago General miller
told how, after his repulse nt Colenso,
he had sent a mesnige to General Whltu
In IAdysmlth so worded that in case
"Will jo had found It necessary lo sur
render, the onus would have fallen, not
".ipoji'liim, but upon Duller, the superior
In command,
I'ci'r this manly action, exhibiting a
spirit which every true soldier should
applaud. Buller Is removed from com
inund of tho Vlrst Army corps and put
Dit half pay. Tho wisdom of making
him commander of that corps In I lie
llrst plnco was ipiestlonuble. lie had
been tried In action and found wanting.
Ills career In South Africu, from a mili
tary standpoint, hud been a fnllu.ro, He
hud done his best, but circumstances
and eoiiie exceedingly capable Boer
Bencrjils had been ngalnst him and hud
oonqtipi-eu him, It was uu imiullltary
thing In view of these facts, to gve
him tho hlelifbt Held command at
homo,.
Rut', having made this mistake, the
British war olllce mukes another ami a
grt'iter In utilising the pretext afforded
by Uulliv'st speech to humiliate him.
Thiit speech was unpopular because it
revealed the weakness of the British
campaign for the relief of I.adysmlth.
It called forth u furore of criticism.
But It told nothing not previously
known uinl moreover showed that Bul
ler, however unfortunate as a general,
wan 100 per cent, net as a man,
ya will survive this blow. But the
recoil will b damaging to the present
administration or the lltltl.-li war olllce.

the contesting forces shall solicit medi

Ori! CON'J'K.MI'OltARV surely
is not us stupid as It appear:".
It knows enough of third
parly candidacies to know
Hint, while entirely hopeless In them
selves, nnd not within the remotest
possibility of clecllon, they often draw
enough voles from the Republican
party lo elect the Democratic ticket.
In the case of Colonel Hitchcock, no
man lit all familiar with the political
probabilities assumes that he Is likely
to got tin.' more than in.OOO votes nec
essary to elect in a triangular light.
'Phut would take an average of neaily
CO voles for each precinct, lie may get
as many as tiO votes iu a few precim ts,
among personal fi lends, although we
doubt it; but there will be scores of
districts in which he will get fewer
than Ifl and other semes In which his
vote will range from ." to o. V have
heard no estimate fiom any uireful
student of political conditions iu thisf
county which placed the Hitchcock vote
above I,.'il0: most estimates place it be
low 1,000 Iu the neighborhood of Mm,
the Prohibition strength.
We repeat thai there Is not the re
motest possibility of Colonel Hitch
cock's election. He has absolutely not
a reasonable hope of leading either the
Democratic or the Republican candi
date. Rut what he might do. if Repub
licans are not watchful, is to pull
enough votes from Carpenter lo elect
Xewcomb. Should the light between
Carpenter and Xewcomb be close It
would not take many votes to do this.
Kifty or a hundred might do It. They
would bo useless to Colonel Hitchcock.
But if they elected Xewcomb judge for
ten years those Republicans who cast
them would, the day after election, be
gin to regret their lapse from party
regularity and they would continue to
regret it for an entire, decade.
"We do not realize that any "wave of
sympathy" Is flowing toward Colonel
Hitchcock. There are no evidences of
it. Here and there you meet men who
have not investigated the party rules
and customs governing primary elec
tions and who have been temporarily
impressed by the colonel's claim that
ho was .iockied on" the Republican
track, But put the facts before them
fairly and squarely, and the Impres
sion disappears. It has no substantial
foundation. It Is wholly Imaginary.
Altogether it will not Inlluence 100
votes throughout the county. Vet we
are reluctant to see even as few as 100
good Republicans led astray. If we can
prevent it, they shall not be. That ex
plains why we are treating of this
matter at some length.
By the way, where is the Caibondale
Leader in this campaign'.' On the
fence, eager for Republican defeat and
trying surreptitiously to bring it about,
but fearing to come out in the openV
A word of advice, neighbor: Fish, cut
bait or make for tall timber.
The Home for the Friendless.
THK Home for the Friendless
is an institution which makes
no exorbitant demands upon
tho miblio and which Is
run Willi more economy accordingly
than the average household number
ing onn-lonth of the inmates. Vear af
ter year women who lead busy, active
useful lives give up a great portion
of their time to the work connected
with this charity with no possible re
turn to themselves except the con
sciousness that through their eiTort.s,
destitute, unhappy and Ill-treated old
women are made comfortable during
tho remainder of their days and that
llttlo children, forlorn, forsaken or be
reaved of relatives are placed whore
their small feet may not take swift
hold nit tho way that leads down to
death, nnd where they may be n bless
ing to the family circles iu which even
tually they find a niche.
It Is u beautiful woik. The preven
tive value Is all too little appreciated
In this city. In tho past year -00 dif
ferent children have been mfu-guardcd
In its kind shelter, who otherwise
might luivo been adding their numbers
to tho vagrancy of the siu-ei. In that
tmo nearly twenty old ladles have
found u I'flftliso ironi the cold ctuclty
of the world. "Wo cannot nlToul to
see this charity neglected In our com
inanity. Tho Homo receives ocry
hind nnd condition without regard to
cllor, religion or nationality. It re
ceives Its support from our city. We
.should make sure that the donations

We believe that every man who is interested in
wearing the newest and best of clothes will appreciate
the time and study we have put into this, our Newest
Fall Suit Novelty. "The Dearte," shown in the
above picture, was drawn from life. It gives you a
faint idea how it looks on a man not on a dummy.
The swell cut of the coat gives that exclusive look
which is admired and .sought after by all of the best
dressed men. The making and tailoring we believe
I is without fault, it being executed
custom work. "The Delsarte" stands unrivalled
for style and perfect tailoring. We ask the opportu
nity to try one on you.
