ST is not necessary for lis to remind the Democratic voter that his vote is his own, and that it is his duty and should be his pleasure to cast it according to his judgment; or to advise him that the ballot which is fur nished him by the state to mark enables him to vote for anyone who is in nomination on that bal- lot; or to tell him that his cross marked opposite the name of any candidate is a vote for that candi date. □ The party machinists make a great point of getting a cohfhin on the ballot made up with a ticket that suits them ar.d which they expect the voter to vote for by marking his cross at its head ; conceiving that thus voting will be made easy for him. And so doubtless it has been and still is ; but the importance of this column feature on the bal lot is fading away under the ill use of it often made, and under the growing intelligence of the voter, which tells him how. to vote as he will, and leads him to vote independently of the dicta tion of bosses. The class of voters who are paid for their votes, which is alarmingly large, marks the column ; and so does the partisan who sees no merit in a candidate who is not on his party ticket. In contests involving party principles, adherence to a party ticket is right; but in cases where the quality of tho candidate is the chief issue the discerning voter will mark his ticket as he regards the candidate. Every Democratic voter should vote; and he should vote for every officer that he can vote for. Likewise the .Republican should putin his appearance at the polls. There is but one State issue facing the Republican voter in the pres ent campaign. Is ho for or against Plummer, tho Penrose- Durham tool! If against Plum mer the Republican elector should remember that tho whole Repub lican State ticket, with the ex ception of Plummer, can be elected by simply voting the Democratic State ticket. That sounds (Mid but it is the absolute truth, and don't let anyone shut your eyes to the truth of that statement. There is nothing at stake on tho State Republican ticket but Plummer, and a vote for the Democratic State ticket will elect every candidate on the Republican State ticket except Plummer. Let us explain this so as to be clearly understood. The Democratic and Republican State tickets both contain the name of Judge of the Supreme Court and the vote for Judge Stewart will be as well rolled up by voting the Democratic ticket as the Republican ticket. There are four vacifticies for Judges of the Superior Court and the law provides that when four or more Judges of the Superior Court are to be elected each elector may vote for as many persons less one as there are Judges to bo chosen at said election. Tho four Judges running for the Superior Court, three on the Republican ticket and one on the Democratic ticket are going to be elected and no power on earth can prevent it In other words every candidate on the Republican ami Democrat ic State tickets wdl bo positively elected to their respective offices except for State Treasurer, there fore the Republican elector can vote tho Democratic State ticket and elect tho Republican State ticket with the exception of Plummer. Every true citizen and Republican must wish to bring about that result, for Plum mer is backed by the "criminal combination" which Secretary- Root says is under the name of Republican."' A vote against Plummer means standing by Roosevelt and ltogt as against the "criminal combination." The true Republican will cut Plum mer, and be can do this unci elect the rest of the Republican State ticket by simply voting the full Democratic State ticket. —-Mr. C. YV. Sbidel is pro nounced by all a sura winner in the present campaign, but that i-> no reason why you should think he can do without your vote and refrain from casting it i.t the polls. It is necessary that every vota is polled, and you should see that all your Democratic friends vote. —"Oldk.r men of experience are needed in our public affairs," may be used in argument; but would it not bo more wise and tirolitable to place a younger and more active man there who has profited by the experience of the older and applies his knowledge unto wisdow Such a man is to be found in our young friend Mr. C. W. Scidcl, candidate for Conn ty Commissioner. New Act Hust be Observed.

SOflE STARTLING FACTS ARE UNEARTHED Home? IJ. Castlo, Esq., Is a Pitts burg lawyer of considerable distinc tion. He is a partner, in professional practice, of former Governor William A. Stone, and the Prohibition nominee for judge of the superior court. He has been making a most vigorous can vass 011 the stump ever since the open ing of the campaign, and challenges the contradiction of the startling charges lie has made and reiterated a dozen times. State Funds For Penrose. During a speech delivered In the courthouse in Harrisburg 'on the evening of September 20, Mr. Castle stated that a banli near Pittsburg, of which he was at the time a director, and for which he was solicitor, re ceived a state deposit of 52D.000, un der an agreement that SIO,OOO of the amount would be loaned to Senator Penrose. That was in 1897, and the money was used by the senator in paying the expenses of his flr3t elec tion to that office. Mr. Castle added that the interest not having been paid promptly the loan was called, and im mediately after it was paid the de posit of the state was removed. Sena tor Penrose at first denied the state ment, whereupon Mr. Castle supported it by a chain of evidence, and the sen ator admitted the principal point, but asserted that It was purely a business affair. In a speech delivered in Greensburg a few days later, Mr. Castle charged that a bank in Pittsburg ha-1 secured a state deposit 0/ the amount of $200,- 000 in consideration of a loan to for mer State Senator William H. An drews, now delegate in congress for New Mexico, of $75,000. The note was Indorsed by Francis J. Torrance, a Pittsburg politician, and secured by bonds of a New Mexican railroad whigh Andrews has constructed on paper. Another Pittsburg bank had been offered the deposit on the same terms, but declined to make the loan and failed to get the money. Replying to the letter of the bank official, State Treasurer Mathue3 wrote as follows: "X am of the opinion that thero are already too many depositories in the west and too much of the slate funds are deposited there; and at the present time I do not feel disposed to increase the same. If, however. I shall change my mind I will be pleased to take into consideration the bank you are In terested in. "Verv respectfully yours, "W. L. MATHIIKS. "State Treasurer." Soon afterward, however, the money was deposited in another bauli, which loaned the money to Andrews. This charge was vehemently denied by Penrose, Andrews and the newspa per press supporting the Republican candidate for state treasurer, Mr. Plummer, and its author denounced as a falsifier and detainer. The failure of that bank —the Klitcrr prise National, of Allegheny—only last Wednesday, and the suicide of its cashier, confirmed every statement made by Mr. Castle, and showed even a worse condition of affairs—a moro reckless and vicious use of state funds —than lie had intimated. It disclosed the startling facts that the bank had been supplied with $782,000 of the funds belonging to the people of Penn sylvania—sso,ooo of which was de posited In it by the present machine state treasurer, Matliues, only the day before it collapsed—that $400,000 of this deposit was represented by worthless bonds of 3 New Mexico rail road, projected anil controlled by "Bull" Andrews, former machine state chairman, and was loaded with an ad ditional $300,000 note signed by ma chine politician* who are striving for the election of another machine state treasurer, in the person of J, Lee Plummer. Building Breweries With State Funds. In a speech delivered at Titusvilla on the evening of October 10, Mr. Cas tlo declared that a brewery had been organized, built and brought t« each held 100 shares of the barf* stock, and Har ris became a Anthony Schwab, nothar Erector In llie Land of IVorneradtah. It almost makes the eyes water to read ot the village of Balersdorf, In Bavaria, which Is celebrated for pro ducing the liuest horseradish In Eu rope. On an area of moist ground. In the valley of the river Regnitz, cover ing 1,335 acres, that titillating plant la practically the only thing raised, and the annual yield amounts to about 0,000,C00 pounds. Horseradish require* u great deal of attention from the cul tivator, for iu midsummer the soil must be removed from the stems and the side roots rubbed off with a soft cloth, after which the stems are buried i again. The plants spring up in March from the end roots, left in the soil the previous autumn, when the uppet stems are cut off niut packed in bar rels for shipment, A Step Too Far. Author—lt's a wise man who knows when he's well off. Friend—Yes? 44 C. told me that everybody was talking about my new book." "And what tKen?" "I was foolish enough to ask what J they said." the hank, has explicitly corroborated Mr. Castle's statement of that affair. In another speech Mr. Castle said: "I see that there is much specu lation as to whether the $10,000,- 000 eash balance of the state of Peniisylvania is real money or •cats and dogs.' "Let them make an investigation and they will And that the greater part of that $10,000,000 is in securi ties of such a character that scarce ly a bank in the commonwealth would touch them. 'Bull' Andrews Is not the only man who has been using the state money for his own personal benefit. There are many others, some of them a great deal higher instate politics than 'Bull' Andrews. "I am after no particular indi vidual in this fight. I just want tho people to get their eyes open to the true condition of affairs. It will hurt some innocent people. 1 cannot help it. It may result in the financial crash of several insti tutions. It is not my fault. I am going to lay this thing open, no matter whose toes I may trample upon." Another Substantial Witness. John Marron, Esq.. is easily among the leaders of the Pittsburg bar. Like many busy lawyers, he is not active In politics, though sensible of his civic obligations. He addressed a meeting In the Sixth Avenue Theatre, Beaver Falls, on the evening of October 2, and said: "And suppose you found that the officers of the bank in which you have your money deposited here, were handing that money out practically without security to a lot of adventurers. You wouldn't stand for that, would you. Of course not —you'd go llrst thing in the morning and get your money out. And I'd be willing to wager that if r #v of you had your money tied up in a bank whose accounts had not been audited for two or three years and you discovered this fact vou'd kick in the bank's doors tonight and look over the books. "Of course you would, yet here ore the books of the state treasury that have not been audited for 31 years, with admitted cases of misapplication of the state's funds and with you and I and everyone not in the treasury ring in abso lute ignorance of the treasury's con dition. Now I wonder whether, in face of this, Pennsylvania will do the stupid thing again? "Do you know,"he continued, "that with your money specula tions are and have been carried on in Mexico and goodness only knows in what other far-off places, and that some of the ppeculators who have almost unlimited access to your money are on the verge of bankruptcy? That's true. ' Why. it is an open.shameful fact that our treasury has the most disgraceful record of any state in the Union. Its doorstep is bloody with three lives at least. Its con trol by the ring has left a trail of murder, suicide, wreck and ruin. The honor of thousands has been r.apped out, a frightful story of blasted hope and dishonor has been written, Surely the money in the Ftate treasury of Pennsylvania has boon the root of all our political wrongs. Only recently one of our United States senators presented tjie frightful picture of pleading fit- statute of limitations In con nection with a criminal charge of nils' se of the public funds. "Here is something I want you to think about, because it shows Just how far this crowd will go." said Mr, Mnrron earn sitly. Do you know that two years ago thfs tr-'ar.ury rir-g went to far as to hold up education— the common school syst. in- tor the benefit of these ring speculators? The school t'Oihers of the state were denied their yoy. the appropriation was held batk f"Y 00 (lays, although it l»?ul been regularly deposited in these favored banks we are learn ing fo mu'.h about. And where wn* the n.nrey? It was out of the treasury all ritrlH, for the teachers couldn't be paid. Well, it was out in Mexico. So, I repeat, the pirates went so far as to hold up educa tion in their greed." Farming the Funds the Rule. Recalling tho original. witness In the matter of "farming the fundi." Mr, Homer L. Castle, In a speech dellv ?fe<| at Union City. Erie county, said, and declared that he is able to prove the statement J "In Pittsburg there is tt« instjr tut ion known as thp Mortgage Banking Company, and I have not £ void to say about its solvency p r iiu responsibility. Some time fi- <> this institution entered into fin arrangement witH John I, Shaw t>y Willi f became its president. The «yfiira*«t providing for his se lection as the bank's chief officer r.tiytilated that the institution was to receive a certain amount of sate funds, and that Shaw was to and he did receive 2 per cent, for securing the deposits of fetate money. Now. is that honest? : is the tihaw whq entered fiito a deal with Poles Penrose by Which the Turtle Creek bank was to receive $20,000 as a state deposi tory, if it would advance Penrose find Shaw half tho amount upon receiving It and this Doles Penrose !s one of your United States sena ors, head of the Republican ma phi ne Farming Out Way Be General. ''Now it hay been charged that there exists an arrangement all pver the state whereby the banks are made to pay certain ringsters p. percentage for all state moneys deposited with them, though at this piiT'le I am not able to prove th|s, a* a condition existing gen erally. I know the facta. In con nection with the Mortgage Bank ing c'Hnpany-Shaw i-ase, however, aiul you can draw your own con clusions as to whether the prac tice is generally carried on. "I also know nil the facts in con nection with the Turtle Creek transaction. If Penrose acted with Bhaw In that loan did he or did he not act with him In the Mortgage Banking company affair? I leave you to your own Inferences in con sidering the whole affair; I am making no charges except those I am prepared to substantiate in de tail. "Ponroee is boss of the Republi can machine. He controls this rn*2 Plummer, who is running for State treasurer, and if Plummer Is elected Penrose will be the treas urer. That is an encouraging ef fect, when we have here letters the machine is sending out to the banks holding state money. They call loudly for campaign contribu tions and promise the bankers that there will be a great change in the method of running tne treasury if Berry is elocted. You bet there will be, and 1 say that is why I want the ring driven out. We want this farming out of our money stopped. We want a square deal in the treasury, so we want this change that the ringsters fear so badly." 1 WHOSE 1 | UMBRELLA? | si By Robert Jermain Cole | » Copyright, 1905, by T. C. McCluro W "Will you please take this seat?" The man spoke as if he were asking, not oilerlug a favor, lie stepped into the aisle, and the girl in the brown tain o' shunter slipped Into his place. The car was crowded. Underneath the tam the young man discovered a whole new world of charms, which Interested him quite as much us America did Columbus. But the girl had an advantage over Amer ica in being able to look back at her discoverer out of two very wide open eyes. "Thank you," she said to Columbus. Then she looked down and her eyes rested on the man's gloved liund, which only partly covered the Ivory handle of an umbrella. He remembered tho hole In his glove and snatched it away to hide it in his pocket. Before he could catch the umbrella lu his other hand It fell against tho girl's knee. She grasped It firmly with both her small hands. "Thank you," she said again, raising her eyes for a brief instant to the man's face. Columbus stared. "Pardon me, but why?" he asked, observing tlie delicate color rising In the girl's cheek. She did not answer, but her eyes were bent lovingly on the umbrella handle. It was one her grandfather had given her when she was sixteen, and she had worn out four silk covers on it. She was glad the man did not Insist on an immediate answer. What must he think of her? After a minute she looked up. "Why do you thank me?" the man asked In a dazed but very low tone. "For my umbrella," she answered, still holding it tlrmly. "I—l beg your pardon, Miss"— "No, I am not mistaken," she said, her sense of humor coming to her as sistance. She held out the umbrella handle for him to examine. "I)o you see those three wrinkles in the dog's brow?" she asked, with tho littlest smile In the world. "I carved "rAKDON ME, JIUT WHY ?" HK ASKED, tliera there myself to show bow wor ried he had grown trying to take care of mo." He looked at the lines across the (loir's Ivory brow. "I didn't know a girl"— he began, b''* broke off. The girl liked him better for his hesitation to talk. lie seemed to understand the fitness of things. "Where did you lose It?" he asked after a moment. "Where you found it," she replied. "Did you take it to the lost property Ofllco of tlie street car company and leave It there for me?" he asked, with a touch of triumph in his voice. M 1 did not know there was such a olace." she exclaimed. "Well, I paid 21 cents for it at an nuctlou of uncliUmeu goods last week," informed the man, The girl opened a tiny purse. "You can't buy it if that's your In tention/' he said tlrmly, but deferen tially. "Seventy-second street!" cried the conductor. The girl rose hastily and rushed toward th« door, leaving the umbrella behind, Columbus followed, with the bone of contention under bis arm. In the street the girl stood and look ptj at him. It was beginning to rain. "The raTq falls on the just," the man said, glancing down at himself, "an 1 on the unjust," he added, looking her squarely in the eyes. "I shall put the umbrella over us both." I attempt to take your pocketbook {is well as this pinbrella," said Colum bus ns tho girl walked silently by bis side, "you may call a policeman. Tber* Is one right across the street." The gir'. did not reply. At the foot of a flight of stone steps she halted. "This Is my home," she «ald. "And here Is your umbrella. I am ■orry If my Impertinence offended you." Columbus handed her her property. "Let me pay you the 21 cents— pleuse," said the girl, hesitating on the lowest step. Columbus raised a protesting band. "But father would not like it"— Columbus looked up suddenly. "Your father"— He hesitated a moment and then took the chance. "May I—won't you tell me who your fattor Is? Lot blui send me a check for the 21 cents If you Insist," he said, laughing at the situation in spite of his earnestness. The girl twirled the umbr«4la. She went up another step, and the man's face showed his disappoiutmcut. Finally she turned and smiled. "And to whom must father send the check?"

"To Henry ir. "Benfon, with Monroe & Shields, brokers," he said. Frowns, -aa many as there were 011 the dog's brow, took possession of the space between the girl's eyebrows. Her memory did not like to be tested. "I'll remember," she suid as the man turned to go. Elizabeth Volney carved another wrinkle In the brow of her umbrella handle dog. "You have worried a heap lately, doggie mine—and tonight the man who bought you at an auction Is coming. He—he has been here frequently since father took a liking to him. Funny, isn't It? Father doesn't usually like the sort of men who are so—so bold as to do what he did. He came right straight to father's office with the cneck for 21 cents to have It duplicated so he might keep It to—oh, to remem ber you by, I fancy, doggie! And fa ther talked to him and they discovered that they both had uncles who had fought together In the civil war and all sorts of nonsense." The girl surveyed the newest frown with admiration. "Really, 1 should have been a sculp tress, doggie, Your frowns are beauti ful!" Henry Benton loomed up In the doorway unannounced. He had met Judge Volney in the hall, and had been told that lie would flud Elizabeth by the library lire. "I'm Jealous of that dog, Miss Eliza beth," he said, stepping in. "You should—like him very much," said the girl saucily, tossing her chin In the air and laying the umbrella on the floor as she came to greet Benton. "I do, but I also like his mistress very much." The girl tried to pull her hand from the mau's flrm clasp. Her face turned prettily pink. "I came here tonight for the, express purpose of telling you how much," he said, compelling her attention. The girl traced figures on the carpet for fully a minute. "Elizabeth," began the man softly, putting one hand beneath her chlu. "I love you. Do you believe uie?" For answer the girl laid her head on his arm. "And to think that I Just carved an other wrinkle In his brow," she said a long time afterward. Mr. Nobl«'« Promise Given. In the early stages of his ministry the Rev. Mr. Noble preached for some time in a village In Maine. One day a committee called upon him to settle with him for his services, and, after stammering awhile, signified to him that his further services were not de sired. "What does this mean, geutlemen?" asked the parson. "Why," replied the spokesman, with some hesitation, "the people have got the impression that you are inclining to universal salvation." "Gentlemen," answered Mr. Noble. "I never have preached that doctrine, but if I ever should I promise to make the people of this town an exception." —Boston Herald. Stationery for Farmers.
