National Democratic Headquarters.
Democratic unity bus not been finer
jiu twelve years. Tho Republicans
I have not been so unhappy, having
| the candidate tliey have. But, remem
ber,they will light desperately to keep
: in power, and thoy have the gre.it
advantage of being in power.
News from Washington, the sent of
Democratic congressional campaign
headquarters is encouraging. It
seems certain that Chairman Bab
cock of the Republican Committee,
will bo beaten out of bis seat in Wis
consin, aud that the D* mocrnts will
win the House by a safe majority.
There is not a living Democrat of
national prominence who supported
Cleveland in 1892, and Bryan in 1890
and 1901), who is not enthusiastically
supporting Parker. It means victory
when such Democrats are united.
Mr. Roosevelt's letter of accept
ance makes tlie antithesis between
him and Judge Parker stronger than
ever.
Faithfully imitating the boss, Sena
tor Fairbanks, marks time with him,
suiting tliu action of his long legs to
the rough rider strutting In one spot
of J lie President. In a recent speech
iu New York, the candidate for Vice
President said: "What we have done
in the past we shall continue to do iu
the future."
No Republican newspaper has yet
contained an interview with Jesse
James on the Roosevelt letter of ac
ceptance.
Be good or yon will get no cam
paign funds. That was practically
the word that the captains of industry
said to Mr. Roosevelt when he left
Washington for Oyster Bay. Ho kept
I quiet and thought over it for weeks
aud weeks. He decided to do what
the captains wanted, aud told he
might cut loose. He did with a
whoop, and all the trust ogres arc
grinning from ear to ear.
Roosevelt's statement that the com
mon law, as developed, "affords a
complete legal remedy against mono
polios" will no doubt meet the ap
proval of Senator Knox, of Pennsyl
vania. But who has bothered the
common law in this connection? It
lias been just as dead a letter as the
statutes,
Teddy does not think he has en
croached as au executive. No em
peror ever admits that be en
croaches.
Why didn't Teddy tell something
that had been accomplished by his
"chief trust buster," as he designat
ed George B. Cortelyou, when be was
appointed Secretary of the Depart
ment of Commerce anil Labor?
51r. Roosevelt had a good deal to
say in his letter about "our oppon
ents." There is no doubt that beneath
all his bluster "our opponents" have
been giving Mr. Roosevelt not a little
concern.
Talk about rainbow chasing! Here
is national committeeman Akins. of
Missouri, telling Mr. Cortelyou that
be, ''has great hopes of carrying
Missouri for Roosevelt." The Chair
men from Georgia and Alabama are
yet to be heard from.
Philander C. Knox, who "busted"
the Northern Pacific, merger, but care
fully refrained from touching any of
the big trusts that plunder the peo
pie, is to make a lew speeches for the
Republican ticket. Mr. Knox it will
bo remembered, was excused from
Mr. Roosevelt's Cabinet in order that
he might represent the Pennsylvania
Railroad in the United States Sen
ate.
The letter of acceptance reads like
the "Rough Riders in Cuba." The
ingenuousness of the two—the Roose
velt ingenuousness—is quite notable.
The former reminds the reader of how
Teddy strode up anil down the
trenches where tho negro troopers
lay and threatened to shoot tho tirsL
man who went to the rear, and he
told he was going to do it with a
pistol given him by his brothel'-in
law, Captain Cowles, of the Navy.
"So well has the work (of the ad
ministration) been done, that our op
ponents do not venture to recite the
facts about our policies or acts, and
i then oppose them," says Mr, Roose
velt in his wonderful letter. If "'oui
opponents" are not opposing tht
facts of the administration, in the
1 name of heaven, what are they op>
| posing?
At least Mr. Roosevelt is not bold
enough to repeat anything to "our
opponents 1 ' about his big stick policy.
'•lt has been but ten years since
the attempt was made to prevent
some people from prospering too
much," That is the way the Presi
dent, 111 his acceptance lotter refers to
the Wilson tarifT bill, dismissing it
with Rooseveltian flippancy. That
sort of horse-play will hardly im
press the thoughtful with any other
idea but that the subsequent high
tariff Republican bill was designed to
help "some people to prosper too
much."
Mr. Roosevelt tried to twit "our
opponents" about their position on
the civil scryice law. "Our oppon
ents" have not forgotten that Presi
dent Roosevelt suspended the opera
tions of the civil service act more
than all his predecessors combined.
"Do our opponents object to the
settlement of the Alaska boundary
lineP" This is a salient question in
Mr. Roosevelt 1 * great letter. It will
probably go unanswered.
Two dollar wheat is now predicted.
Roosevelt should issue it supplement
to his letter of acceptance claiming
' credit for this great prospective in
crease in the price of the cereal.
Cortelyou is a wonder. Who but
I this colossal genius would have con
ceived the idea ol utilizing American
j Consuls to take "straw" votes ou
ocean steamships?
, The negio is our most imitative
citizen. A hand of his race organized
, recently in Sussex County, Va , for
robbery, murder anil arson. They
styled themselves '"Hough Killers."
j Every man of thcin believed in a
"Big Stick" policy.
President Roosevelt promises on
proper occasion the tarilT slinll be re
vised by its friends. Just about the
way the friends of corruption tried
the abortion investigation of the rot
tenness in the Po-it Office Depart
ment.

There still remains Bonie seeding to do.
Farmers are cutting their corn. Many
fields are very green, but the early plant
ing is ripe enough to cut. Cider mills
are busy, and applebutter making is in
full blast. J. N. Herr seems to have the
"run"in making Cider, his mill is kept
Irasy every day. Thrashing is being
pushed, and many barns have been
cleaned up. Wheat yields are not up to
the average, but oats run away ahead in
both yield and quality. Clover seed
promises to l>e a bumper crop. One
farmer, who had 4} acres, thrashed 15J
bushels of seed. Other yields are nearly
as good. Grapes are plentiful. The
apple crop is nearly up to the normal.
County Superintendent Derr is on his
rounds visiting the schools. He called

found Miss Nellie Fethcroff doing good
work.
T. M. Shade, in making some repairs
to his thresher, cut the palm of bis left
hand lutdly, necessitating several stitches
to close the wound.
Levi Schloppich is still unable to work
yet. His injured leg does not heal very
rapidly.
W. J. Sm'tli is raising his house and
putting a wall under it. He will also
build a piece to the old building.
Wm. Marr expects to have the timber,
and lumber for bis new bam brought

build a barn this fall to take the place of
the one burned by lightning some time
ago. His neighbors will do the haul

gress and the yields have been satisfac
tory. Cakes and sausage will soon be
; the early breakfast meal now.
Local politics are very quiet, at any
gathering of neighbors any other subject |
will be discussed before that one. No
body seems to be very much interested.
Even the chances of the Presidential
election elicits little or no notice.

Continental Pionio Next Saturday.
Huuter's Park will close the most
successful season in its history with
the big Continental Hose Company's
picnic Saturday. The park this year
ljps had a most unique list of diver
sions aLd has been visited by thou
sands of people.
Picnics have been very numerous
during tho past sammer and have in
cluded many parties from a distance.
As a camping resort it has had a won
derful season the.cottages, tents, etc.,
beiug oooapied during the entire sum
mer. The spacious pavilion also has
been the scene of many enjoyable
affairs, the dances averaging about
three a week.
The Continental picnio noxt Satur
day promises to be a great event. The
Committee is doing everything possible
to show the visitors a good timo.
There will be mnsio throughout the
day ami evening. Prof. Uetherell's

Eel Season Nearly Over.
The eel running season in now Hear

dred fishermen were on the river all
of them operating with more or less
saooois.
The season for oel oatohing lias abont
reaohed its height and will soon
be praotically over as few will be
rnuning. The rise in the river daring
the last fow days enabled many eols
to get away or the oatohes would have
been heavier. The prloe for the fish
has been high bnt so great has been
the demand tiiat it was necessary to
place advance orders in order to seoure
them.
The most successful way to oatch
eels is by means of the fish wall for
wliioh a license is necessary. The
Danville fishormen have been making
big hauls with tho outline and other
methods, though further np the river
quite a fow licenses have been takon
oat for fish walls.

The October "Smart Set.**
The October number of THE SMAR'I
SET is a veritable mine of brillian
stories ami poems. "Moored," l>\
Anna A. Rogers, is the title of tin
novelette whieh opens the issue, !•
is a story full of power ami iiuiet
humor, ileali ng with the temptalioi
which eoiues to tin young wife of y.
naval officer while he is abroad ami
she is "moored 1 * at home. The tali
leaves a remarkably viv <1 imprcs.-im
and will attract wide att iitlon.
G<Aivcrneur Mor'is, in his slior
story. "The Lmly of Moods," has
written ns striking a picne of work as
ha* recently appeared in any maga
zine. Its wonderful ar stamps I hi*
voung author as a genius, in a
wholly dilTerent vein i? tin- late Guy
Wetmore Oarryl's humorous tale, "A
Tide in tlie Affairs of Stephen Gird
ler," It is brimful oi delightful
character drawing. In"The Two
Ghosts" Richard Le G. llienne is at
his best as a good-nat'.red satirist
and brilliant epigrammatist. "When
Dolos Diiftcd," a story by Beatrix
Dcinarest Lloyd, a ne.v writer of
great promise, is one of the most not
able in the number, though one must
remember the poetic beauty of Zona
Gale's "A Land a Great Way OtT,"
the intense realism of Theodore
Watera's "The Passing of (ion Out."
the keen analytical power of Wiliaid
French's "The Mas tilt," a story of
political life in Washington, and the
cleverness of Barry Tain's "The lie
wards of Perseverance," the last and
perhaps the best in the series of tie
tcctivc stories which the distinguished
English author has written exclusive
ly for TIIE SMART SET.
Two essays, one by Bep
plier, the other by I'. J. Knight Ad
kin, add charm lo this numbei; and
there are excellent poems by .such
favorite verse-writers as Joaquin Mill
er, Krnest JlcUaffey, Theodosia Gar
risoe, Madeline Bridges, I*. McArlhur,
Frank Lillie Pollock, Thomas Walsh
and Arthur Macy. Variety is the dis
tingulshing note of tlio October
SMAKT SET, and 110 two of its stories
are in any way alike.
