A MATTER
OF DUTY.
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.
Atteiitiou of supervising principals
of publia schools all over tlu State is

to ull the pupils up to and including
the 112 jurtli grade of the public schools
of the Ooniniouwejlth.
The act requires that tlio ptincipal

FARMING THE FUNDS
IN STATE TREASURY
The Vast Surplus Used By Machine Politicians In
Various Kinds of Private Enterprises and Per
sonal Operations—State Deposits In Con
sideration of Hazardous Loans.
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« <x ,n r
pletion with state money taken from
banks favored with deposits in coil'
slderatlon of such favors. This was an
Allegheny county enterprise, In which
William 11. Andrews was also con
corned. Of it Mr. Castle #ajd:
"A bunch of state politicians tiaij
thern<;f-lvos Incorporated, and witlL
<But»ianrt or financial timber of any
kind issued bonds. Those bonds
were placed In a bank, into which
a state deposit jw.fl been turned,
and with the proceeds tlfey built a
brewery.
"After a certain time their prop

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

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

Andrews.
"I am after no particular indi

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

''Now it hay been charged that
there exists an arrangement all
pver the state whereby the banks

not act with him In the Mortgage

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

State treasurer, and if Plummer Is

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

bet there will be, and 1 say that is
why I want the ring driven out.
We want this farming out of our

"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

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."

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

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

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

luiu'JQb* "ifice. "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."

DR. KENNEDY'S
FAVORITE
REMEDY
Breaks no Hearts, Excuses
no Crimes.
Dr. David Kennedy's FAVORITE REM
EDY is not a disguised enemy of the human
race; where it cannot help, it does not
harm. It is composed of vegetable ingre
dients aud does not heat or inflame the
blood but cools and purifies it. In all cases
of Kidney troubles, Liver complaints, Con
stipation of the Bowels, aud the delicate
derangements which afflict women, the ac
tion of Dr. Kennedy's FAVORITE REM
EDY is beyond praise. Thousands of
grateful people voluntarily testify to this,
in letters to Dr. Kennedy; and with a
warmth and fullness of words which mere
business certificates never possess. It
makes no drunkards —excuses no crimes—
breaks no hearts. In its coming there is
hope, and in its wings there is healing.
Wo challenge a trial and are confident of
the result. Your druggist has it. ONE
DOLLAR a Bottle. Bear in mind the
name and address: Dr. David KENNEDY,
Roadout, New York.

Periodic
Pains.
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills
are a most remarkable remedy
for the relief of periodic pains,
backache, nervous or sick head
ache, or any of the distress
ing aches and pains that cause
women so much suffering.
As pain is weakening, and
leaves the system in an ex
hausted condition, it is wrong
to suffer a moment longer than
necessary, and you should take
the Anti-Pain Pills on first in
dication of an attack.
If taken as directed, you may
have entire confidence in their
effectiveness, as well as in the
fact that they will leave no dis
agreeable after-effects.
They contain no morphine,
opium, chloral, cocaine or other
dangerous drugs.
"For a long time I have suffered
greatly with spells of backache, that
seem almost more than I can endure.
These attacks come on every month,
and last two or three days. I have
never been able to get anything that
would give me much relief until I be
began the use of Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain
Pi Is, and they nlways relieve me In a
short time. My sister, who suffers «
ihe same way, has used them with
the Eame results." MRS. PARK,
721 8. Michigan St., South Bend, Ind.
Dr. Miles' Antl-Paln Pills are sold by
your druggist, who will guarantee that
the first package will Dsnefit. If It
fails he will return your money.
25 doses, 25 cents. Never sold In bulk.
