THE MOST
CONSERVATIVE
An English writer recently said
that the Americans were the most
conservative of people, but if he had
visited the United States during
Bryan's first campaign in 1896, and
then gone back not to return until
this year of grace, what would or
could he think of the Bryan revival ?
In lMilti Brvanism was a scare
ivorcf, Dili now an*. t>ryan is consid
ered the greatest conservative force in
American public life. Gold Demo
crats, Cleveland Democrats, and some
of the most undoubted conservatives
indorse Bryan's candidacy, aud are
sending their greetings across the sea
to that wise aud conservative states
man, Bryan's prospects are discuss
ed seriously in the most staid and re
spectable quarters. His name is every
where mentioned with great respect,
and politicians believe that if the
present demand for Bryan continues
and gathers in force nothing can stop
the movement to have the whilom
radical for the presidential nominee.
Of course, the silver question is
dead. Americans will from time to
time lie misled by delusions, but there
is 110 more likelihood of the resurrec
tion of the iiat money craze within a
generation than there is that we shall
fall into a violent dispute as to the
number of spirits that can balance
themselves at one time on a pin
point.
But with the silver question buried,
why is it that Bryau stauds forth so
prominently as a conservative influ
ence? He is older and wiser and
more conservative, no doubt.
Assuming that he is as conservative
as his champions declare him to be,
yet the real Bryau of today would
have been considered ten years ago,
or even six years ago, a radical and a
candidate of the most radical elements
in the United States.
The explanation of the Bryan
"boom" is to be found in the fact,
first, that the Democrats recoil in af
fright before the possibility of control
of the party by the demagogues of the
Hearst wing, who mean trouble for
the Republic; and, second, in the
fact—one of the strangest in political
history—that the people of the United
States, or the political parties, seem
to have changed a good deal more
than has Mr. Bryau.
In 1904 the tremendous vote for
Roosevelt was due to the fact that his
supporters included not only almost
the full Republican strength, but the
vote of nearly all the radicals of every
kind in the country. On the East
Side of New York, where the poor
foreigners live, the "bottom fell out
of the Democratic party." In Chi
cago the radicals of every degree,
who had maintained Carter Harrison,
father and son, in power, (locked to
Roosevelt. Kx-Senutor .Marion But
ler, of North Carolina, w ho was chair
man of the National Populist party in
1890, was an ardent supporter of
Roosevelt; and ex-Senator I'efler, of
Kansas, who was long the typical
Populist statesman of the extreme
wing, after expressing the opinion that
Roosevelt was a thoroughly good
Populist, supported the Republican
ticket.
North, South, East and West the
Populists ami radicals of every degree
rallied to the Roosevelt ticket. How
many are there of them ? A million ?
Nobody knows, but they are numer
ous enough to swing an election, and
shrewd observers incline to believe
that their numbers are increasing very
rapidly.
In a general way, the broad senti
ment and platform which appeal to
them are summed up in Bryan's own
words; "You must not put the dol
Opposites
M Life evermore JH red by death In earth aud sen and sky,
And that a rose may breathe its breath something must die."
THE two great forces, Life and Death, are controlled by the
dominations of the stronger of the two. With these there ,
can he no equality in strength—it must be one or the other. Each |
minute of our existence we are either conquering or being conquered.
In the maintenance of our mental of physical bodies, in the
providing of our daily sustenance, in the political struggle for cor
ruption or purity the stronger force brandishes its trophies of vic
tory. "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again," but falsehood shall
sink deeper and deeper into the fathomless.
Death must ever be overcome so that life may live ; so must I
purity crush corruption if puritywill reign.
The primaries of Montour county are over ; the great gener- j
al election lies in the future. You have heard of fraud, of debauch- j
ery, buying and selling of votes, etc.—characters disgraced, and all j
sorts of demoralization that should have taken place in the contest!
" Rot! " " Rot! " rings out on every side.
Can this be true '■
Lf it is, the force that is strongest of all forces—LOVE—
that love that passeth all understanding; that magnitieth many,
many fold and buildeth good citizens and good nations should come
to bear upon the degradation and ignominy, now thrust upon us,
and save our future.
Rottenness must die so that Purity can live ; Purity can only
live through the death of corruption. But Purity is modest while
corruption is bold and domineering. The former is the stronger
and can easily vanquish its opponent. All that is needed is one
grand stand for right and the victory is won.
If this bo true the right thing to do is to prosecute to the full
extent of the law and thus right a grievous wrong.
If not true, these wicked, scandalous reports are outrageous
and should not be circulated, for only cowards are authors of such
falsehoods and treachery.
The law provides certain penalties for certain offenses, and
when a person is known to be guilty, why should that law respect
any one more than another 1 Be it national, state, county or local
offence the perpetrator aught to be punished.
If a man is guilty of bribery, cause him to suffer the penalty ;
if he is guilty of perjury he should be brought to justice, and thus
obliterate the wicked practices ; not let it rest and the offender go
unpunished, encouraging the wickedly inclined.
If one-half of the crookedness we hear of, in connection with
our late primaries, be true, the conditions are deplorable and should
bo investigated.
If these reports are not all true, you know that there must
lie at least some crookedness, which should prompt us all to be more
independent, deviate from the rugged, narrow way and get back to
TRUE DEMOCRACY again.
The path of truth is a plain and safe path, that of falsehood
is a perplexing maze ; heaven is the region of gentleness and happi
ness, hell of fierceness and animosity.
lar above the man." The Demo
cratic leaders evidently believe that
no Democrat can win who does not
get the radical vote, and that Bryan
is the safest man for that kind of radi
cal platform.
Bryan is a clean, honest, able man,
but what a change lias come over the
political parties and the country when
the excellent Bryan, considered in
relation to the radical wing of the
Democratic party and in relation to
the Republicans, is hailed as a con
servative !
—"WE don't always sometimes
know," especially what will turn up
in a primary contest.
— WITH the ballots all burned and,
we guess, the talley sheet, too, the
...»ly ilvM>s (1A U.-QU WLIOL tlipy could.
— WITH all this Republican talk of
trust-busting can you point to one
trust that has lowered the price of its
products 1
— OF course it would ruin thepaity
to investigate how much the railroads
contributed to the Republican cam
paign funds.
— THE embalmed beef scandal is a
great relief to the railroads as it di
verts public attention from their graft
ing, overcharging, and rebating.
— POOR old Santa C'laus wasn't in
it with some of the coal companies.
For their favorites aud friends they
had a Christmas regularly every
month.
— WE don't believe a word of the
story that John D. Rockefeller in his
exuberance and good-fellowship on
the ocean liner daucedajig. John's
strong point is in making the other
fellow dance.
—You need not turn vegetarian be
cause you are afraid to eat the pro
ducts of the Beef Trust, for there is
plenty of good wholesome home killed
meat to be bought ot the local butch
ers, which is not embalmed.
— THEY have disbarred a Tamaqua
attorney for six months on a charge
of attempting to blackmail saloon
keepers. In the meantime he will
busy himself trying to get the Demo
cratic nomination for Congress.
—"WHY shouldn't my relatives
hold coal stock?" asks Mr. Cassatt.
There's no question about the holding
but only about the grafting. Cassatt
doesn't know the difference when his
relatives and the Pennsylvania rail
road are concerned.
— THE recent discovery that the
Egyptians used incubators tor hatch
ing eggs hundreds of years ago and
the finding of a perfectly formed axe
imbedded in a coal vein near Wilkes
barre reminds us that we are not such
smarties after all.
— A NEW cure for snake-bits is the
use of a suction pump but it will
never supersede the good old fashion
ed antidote—a bottle being so much
handier to carry than a pump; and,
besides, it can be used even in the
event a bite doesn't materialize.
—YES, it is too true I This same
man Edwin S. Stuart whom the Re
publicans have named as their stand
ard bearer was the mayor of Philadel
phia during one of the most corrupt
regimes that that city ever had, and
what the good people will do in Nov
ember in remembrance to this will be
plenty.
—FOR telling the truth about Em
balmed Beef fed to our soldier boys,
Gen. Miles was hounded and repri
manded by a Republican Administra
tion; now we know that the whole
country has beeu supplied by the
Beef Trust with similar foul and dis
eased provisions and the present Ad
ministration has known it for a long
time without publishing the facts.
— THE question, unsolvable, is,
how many Republicans voted at the
Democratic primaries.
— WHILE the candidates could not
all lie nominated, some feel pretty
soae for some reason or other.
— THE enormous Republican maj
orities in Pennsylvania in the past are
not so wonderful since the light has
been thr >wn on the corrupt bargain
between the railroads, trusts and com
bines aud the Republican politicians,
and similar conditions prevail in New
Jersey and other states, but light is
breaking on the cesspools of corrup
tion.
— THE Rochester, Pa., priest who
has started a crusade agaiust the
"neek-a-boo" shirt waists worn by
the women of his congregation wilt
probably not add much to his popu
larity but he will be contributing
greatly to the cause of feminine mod
esty, which is the dearest virtue a
woman can have, As Sam Jones
once said: "If the good Lord had
intended women togo half naked he
would have provided them with a
coat of feathers."
—-According to the York "Dis
patch" the Democrats of the York-
Adams district are looking for a man
with a barrel whom they can nomin
ate for Congress. But what can a
candidate do with a barrel now that
we have the corrupt practices act ?
No matter how much money he has
he is limited to certain expenditures,
and the law does not provide that he
shall buy votes or enrich a lot of
camp flollowers. The candidate with
out a barrel will be in less danger of
bumping against trouble.
—Several weeks ago the Intelligen
cer made public inquiry as to what
had become of Alice and Nick. They
evidently learned of our anxiety about
them for they turned up in New York
on Friday and Nick gave the follow
ing bit of advice to bachelors: "Get
married; its the only real life. I get
happier all the time." That sounds
good now, but wait until he has to
walk the floor a few nights with some
thing in his arms that even soothing
syrup won't quiet then some of us
other fellows will begin to take notice
of his remarks.
—-In 1905, Secretary Root described
the Penrose-Durham gang of Penn
sylvania as a corrupt and criminal
combination masquerading as Repub
licans." But since Senator Penrose,
as chairman of the Senate Post Office
Committee, has recommended the con
firmation of the President's friend
Barnes as postmaster at Washington
City, the President has, with the ap
proval of Secretary Root, agreed to
visit Peunsylvania and make speeches
in favor of restoring that "corrupt
anil criminal combination" to power
in the Keystone State. Kissing goes
by favor.
—ALDERMAN FKY, of Ailentown,
fined Andrew Ebehauser 84 and cosis
for running a music box on Sunday.
The complainaut was a neighbor, who
said he worked hard all week and did
not want his Sunday rest destroyed by
the music. Suppose this same com
plainant lived r.ext door to a church
and heard the singing and music made
by them on each Sundny, and com
plained the noise disturbed his rest,
would the Alderman have reudered
the same kind of a decision ? We
trow not, but is there a difference in
the eye of the law? Suppose the de
fendant had alleged that he worked
eveiy day, and that the orrly time 1 e
could utilize his music box was on
Sunday, would not that excuse have
been a valid one ? Under this deci
sion is not every organ and piano that
is played on a Sunday a violation of
the law, and is not that law a very
narrow minded affair ?
The colleges anil universities are
again hard at work turning out a big
crop ol doctors of divinity.
HARMAN THE
CANDIDATE
Hoi). John G. Harman is the Dem
ocratic candidate for this 2(itli Ju
dicial District. I lis majority ov»>i
Mr. Herring in tiic district is 72.
Mr. Harman is one of the most
popular of Columbia county's bar,
and has been an honor to the State
by his able and willing services in the
Legislature. He will add dignity to
the court by dealing out justice to the
masses.
On Tuesday, the day of Columbia's
convention, we meandered leisurely
in the midst of the throngs ot the
streets of Bloomsburg, to hear words
of praise rise on all sides for our fu
ture President Judge. Not a single
word of disappointment or coudein
( nation was uttered against him. Of
course it was another Harman day,
and everybody was for Harman, and
will lie at the general election next
November.
Mr. Herring will withdraw and all
his late supporters will unhesitatingly
come over to the Harman forces and
help wage the grand victory that will
be ours. Harmony will reign serene
and the bitter contest just closed will
be forgotten.
The State rule determines that in
cases like the one existing in the pres
ent, judicial result, the State Execu
tive Committee will be called upon
to decide in favor of the one having
the larger vote in the district, and the
only way that two Democratic can
didates can lie in the race for election,
is by announcing independently. This
wc are sure Mr. Herring will not do,
but will endeavor to enhance his al
legiance and loyalty to Democracy by
pulling off his coat and casting his
best support in behalf of Hon. John
G. Harman for President Judge.
Columbia County Convention
With the exception of Conyngliam
West North, where the counting of the
vote was interrupted by n fight, tlio
official returns hail been received from
all districts by the county chairman
before the time sot for the Democratic
convention at Bloomsburg Tuesday
morning.
After the meeting was called to order
by County Chairman, Clinton Her
ring, Dr. Hower, of Mifflinville, as
sumed control as temporary secretary.
W. C. Johnston, Esq., and Clinton
Herring were named for permanent
chairman. Herring withdrew, and
Johnston was elected.
A great many expected a stormy ses
sion and looked for an uprising, but
they were doomed to disappointment,
as everything moved off quietly, the
Harman men predominating, and Mr.
Harman himself being much in evid
ence. When he entered the hall at the
opening of the convention, he was
greeted with loud and continued ap
plause. Mr. Herring did not appear
at the convention.
The following resolution was then
passed.
Whereas the official return of the
vote as cast at the primary election on
Saturday shows the following named
candidates have been endorsed by the
voters of Columbia county: President
Judge, John G. Harman; Congress,
John G. McHenry; State Senator, J.
Henry Cochran ; Legislature, W. T.
Creasy; Shoriff.C. 13. Ent, * * » There
fore be it resolved that said candidates
bo empowered to select their own con
ferrees.
John G. Harnmu was called upon for
a speech and amid much applause ad
dressed the assembly. He thanked the
voters for the support they had given
him, was duly appreciative of the high
houor conferred upon him and fully
realized the responsibility and high
duty whioh had been placed upon his
shoulder. He said be would if placed
in the office, perform all duties con
nected therewith without partiality or
fear or favor; no man or gang of men
would control ov influence him in the
performance ol' this duty and this
court would bo such that rich or poor,
weak or strong could come with full
confidence of securing justice.
John G. McHenry was next called
upon and responded with an able idea
to the voters of this Congressional dis
trict and Columbia county in particu
lar to stand by their party ticket.
Hon. William T. Creasy was next
called for but lie was not present iu
the hall.
Included in the resolutions adopted
were the following:
Resolved, that the delegates to the
State Convention this day chosen be
instructed to present the name of Hon.
William T. Creasy, to the Democratic
State Convention, to be held at Harris
burg on Wednesday, June the 27th, for
the office of Governor and to use all
honorable means to secure his nomina
tion.
That the Democraoy of Columbia
couuty review with gatisafction the
long and honorable service of J. Henry
Cochran in the State Sonate as a rep
resentative of this district. A man of
the highest integrity and ability, the
value of his faithful sorvice has boon
enhanced by experience,his unanimous
nomination for tlio fourth time is a
just reward for fidelity, therefore and
we pledge the democracy of the conn
ty to an oaruest and vigorous effort
for his reelection by an increased ma
jority.
Fortunate Father and Son.
I am as certain as I now live, says
Mr. C. E. Bartholomew, Kalkaska,

Favorite Remedy, of Itondout, N.

Making Money From Bees.
The business of bee-keeping, accord
ing to a writer iu the N i:w IDEA WO
MAN'S MAGAZINE for July, is "light,
fascinating and pleasant." 11l fact,
as the bees do the work, it seems that
this occupation is the nearest that
there is to having a number of good
investments with certain dividends.
"The initial outlay," says this writer
"may be very small; fifteen dollars
will secure a modern hive, a colony of
good Italian bees, with a queen, and
all of the necessary accessories. As
soon as a little experience has been
gained, the apiary may be built up by
adding liuciei (a few hundred work
ing bees) together with new queens at
intervals at the cost of a few dollars.
The natural increase will then result
iu an apiary of fifty or one hundred
colonies in a few years."
Many good suggestions are given to
those desiring to add to their income
by this charming industry. It ap
pears that the time to begin the busi
ness of bee-keeping is during the sum
mer months, and "there will be little
to do except to watch the bees at
their work and become, as familiar as
possible with their habits?" One
duty of the keeper, however, is to
protect the bees as far as possible from
their insect enemies, "brush away
the spider's web, craftily woven near
the hive entrance, as well as to drive
off the bold ant who is constantly rob
bing the bee of honey." Particularly
lor women, who desire to earn a mod
est income for themselves iu the coun
try, is bee-keeping recommended as
au "ideal outdoor occupations."
INCITED MUTINY.
Aa BnßlUh Admiral Once Did Tkll
by Royal Comratud.
Not only did an English admiral once
receive Instructions to Incite his men
to mutiny, but he actually carried hll
Instructions out.
On the eve of the death of James 1.,
uud as a result of I'rlnce Charles' mar- !
rlage to Henrietta Maria, Buckingham j
agreed to lend the Vanguard and sev- ;
en merchantmen to the French. Be- |
fore his promise was fulfilled the Hu- I
guenot rebellion at ltoclielle broke out,
uud by the time Sir John Pennington,
who had been put In command, was
ready to sail the authorities In England
became disagreeably aware that their
ships would be used against the
French Protestants
Buckingham was conscious of the
storm of indignation this would arouse
In England. In his perplexity the only
solution that occurred to him was to
Instruct Pennington to get Ills men to
mutiny. A secret message to this ef
fect was sent him through the Earl of
Pembroke, and Blr John, who bad no
wish to hand the ships over to the
French, obeyed and allowed his crew
to carry blm and bis officers back to
England.
A Point la Fnnctuatloa,
For a century past, probably longer,
>e rule of the best printers and pub
lishers has been,"Three words In the
same construction are separated by
commas." Two examples will Illus
trate the rule:
"John, James and Thomas have come."
As so punctuated the first name Is
vocative, the second and third nomina
tive. Two persons have come.
"John, James, and Thomas have come." ;
And now the three names are all '
nominatives. Three persons have come.
The two meanings can be Indicated
otherjtise only by a footnote. New I

LIBERY TONSHIP, Joon 12, 1900.
DEER EDITOR:—
The other nite Bill Giles, my nabor cum down an sex, Jerry, you
ought to hev been aver to the Coanty Convenshun. Miud you the Sectary
got on a Bat, au talked az if he lied hot mush in his month; en then to cap
the climax they sent him delegait to the State Convenshun. Dot it beat the
dogs ! It is not the way we used to do wen we wuz in poletics wuz it Jerry ?
No you bet sez I, when I wuz a young man, we allers waited until after the
convensliuu wuz over, befoar we got full.
The old Hoarse cum through alrite. We wuz fooled on the old
Hoarse this time. Last sprng lie cum out bad, after he had the legislashun
'pendieitis hiz hare wuz long and his hid wuz tite. They tried Barker's
powders on him but it wuz no go. Then they got hold of stun Pennsylvany
Kailrodc Oats an that brot him rite out. Barber rimed like tliu dickns, so
fast did he go thet hiz ears whistled iu the wind, an the little boys plaid mar
bles on hiz coat tales. Fur a while he wuz ahead, but on the home stretch
the old hoarse got hiz second wind, an Barber wuz jes about two feet behiud
wen he passed the wire. Pennsylvany lialerode oats told the talc, it is good
feed an we wood recommend it to other old polickal bourses.
Doc Swifer wuz too good a horse to enter such small races.
Sum feller from Antony tonship, lie writ a letter to the Dimmycrat,

THE GOLD STANDARD.
Knfflnnd. i„ igiu. Wan the Flmt of
the IV»i t lons to Adopt It.
The first nation to adopt the gold
standard was England. She adopted
(he gold standard nominally in 1810,
but practically not until three years
| later, for in 181G England was on the
' paper basis. Germany, which adopted
I the single silver standard In 1837, took
I Kteps toward the establishment of tlie
I gold standard in 1871, but it was not
| until July, 1878, that she demonetized
silver, undertook to melt down her sil
ver coin, sell It for gold and establish
the single gold standard. The Scandi
navian nations adopted the single gold
standard at the same time. In Septem
ber, 187.'*, France restricted the free
coinage of silver and three years later
entirely suspended such coinage, but
has never undertaken to discard the
silver colu she has in use or to treat it
otherwise than as on an equality with
gold. The action of France in restrict
ing and then suspending the coinage
of sliver on private account was fol
lowed by the other nations of the Latin
union—Belgium, Switzerland, Italy and
Greece—and Spain suspended the coin
age of silver In 1878. Holland, which
had established the single silver stand

The 11,000 virgins mentioned In Cath

If our forelioad Is rigid with wrin
kles before forty, what will It be at
seventy? There Is one consoling
thought about these marks of time and
trouble—the death angel almost al
ways erases them. Even the extreme
ly aged In death often wear a smooth
and peaceful brow, thus leaving our
last memory of them calm and tran
quil. But our business is with life.
Scowling Is a silent kind of scolding.
It shows that our souls need sweeten
ing. For pity's sake let us take a sad
iron or a glad Iron or a smoothing tool
of some sort and straighten the creases
out of our faces before they become ln
