The Demoaraev and IU leader have
two specialties for campaign purpose.
One ot these la toprotulae or demand the
Impracticable ; the other 1 to promise
or demand things already aeeouipltthed
by the Kepnblleau party. The Denver
platform present, obvloui Inttanoeiof
the former, and It further exhibits
atriklna- lnstaoee ot the latter. In re
lation to eampalga contributions by cor
po ration. It makes the following dec
laratlons :
"We pledge the Democratic party to
the enactment ot a law preventing an
corporation contributing to a campaign
fund.
ln order that this prsjtloe shall be
stopped tor ail lime we demand tue itass
ase of a statute pnnUhttjg with imprison
ment any ofllaer of a oorporatlou who
shall either, contribute on beuitlf of or
consent to the contribution by a co'pj-
ratloa ot any money or thing of ralue to
be used in turtnering toe election oi s
President or Vice-President of the Unit
ed States or au,y member of Congress
Ulereoi. '
Bo far a this practice can be ended by
federal legislation, the Republican party
did all that Is posrible, uearly a year and
a half before the Denver platform de
dared that it ought to be done. An act
of fougre, passed by a Republican
House and Senate, and approved by a
Republican President January 20. 1C07,
ooutatns the following drastio provlciont;
"That It .hall be nnlawf ol for any ua-
any corporation organ
lied bv authority of any laws of Con
grew, to make a money contribution in
connection with any election to any po
litical ofaee. It shall also be unlawful
for any corporation whatever to make a
money contribution In connection with
any election at. which Presidential and
Vlee-Presldentlal electors or a Represen
tative In Congress, is to be voted for, or
any electl-m by any State Ii-gislature ol
a Culled States Senator. Every corpo
ration which shall make any contribu
tion In violation ot the foregoing provls-
lons snail be subject to a one not ex
ceeding fire thousand dollars, and ever
officer or director of any corporation
who shall consent to auy eontributiou
by the corporation in violation of the
foregoing provisions shall upou eouvio
ftiou be imulsliecl by a flue of not exceed-
log one tiiouaaud and bot less tban two
hundred and illty dollars, or by Impris
onment fur a term of not more than one
year, or both such fine and Imprison
meut, iu the discretion of the court."
Thus, while the practise complained
of received a knock-out blow at the
hands of Republicans, we have the Dsui
ooratie pledge that It shall again be
done to death wliru the Itryan snicker
anee is drawu aud thr right arm of the
Democratic chief Is bared for Its destruc
tlon. Wueu this is aaaomplished the
"Peerless Leader" will deserve the praise
given to the cowboy hero "He did his
d dest ; augels could do no more."

The Bunerlor Court has affirmed the
decision rendered by Judge Purdy, of
the Wayne Quarter Sessions, In the case
involving the right of the public to flsh
In streams running over private lands.
The case arose under the act of April
14, 1905, fixing a specific penalty for tres
passing on private land which had been
duly posted as such, and Involved also
tui provision of section S3 ot the act ol
May 29, 1901, that "Public fishing shall
exist In all waters and parts of waters
that have been or may be declared i.av-
Igabie."
The Laekawaxen river flows across
certain land,near Alden vllle, which David
liopklns and his predecessor. In title had
owned slnee 1312 ; aud under the act of
IMS he posted It as private property. In
1814, an act of Assembly made part of the
river. Including this portion, a public
highway "for the passage of rafts, boats
and vessels." On May IT, 190C, Harry J.
Foster, contending that the act of 1W1
made the stream open to public fishing,
entered it at a highway crossing, aud
walked along the bottom tor some dls'
tanoe, on the land of liopklns, fishing.
The suit was brought to test his right to
do this.
The opinion ot the Superior Court, on
some points. Is too technical to be read
ily understood by the average layman
In substance, the decision Islhat after
land has beeu sold oy the State, with uo
reservation. It belongs to the purchaser
and his successors In title, and the State
has no power to give any one else any
use of It, without the otruer s cousent, cr
providing for his compensation. The
opinion, by President Judge Rice, Is as
follows :

Is PMim for argument that tlie w,rN of

England. Tne method is simple but
vigorous. The owners of dogs are
compelled to keep tbem muxxled if they
are allowed to run abroad, ur, it they
are taken out unmuuled, the owner is
obliged to keep them in leash. A quar
tntine is strictly enforoed against the
importation ot dogs from other coun
tries until their exemption from disease
is thoroughly established. The thorough
enforcement of these precautionary
measures for a few years past has made
rabies impossible in England. Both
men and dogs are safe in that country.
The apparent hardship of the experi
ment is fully justified by the resulting
good. Similar laws should be made
aud enforced in this country.

Additional KsarLy Forgotten FacU-
The Ucthnd 1st parsonage, which la
now perched on blocks and awaiting the
finish of its foundation walls at the north
cost corner ot Church and Eleventh
streets, is something ot a traveler. It
was first built on tho opposite, or south
oast corner of the same streets, some
thing like bait a century ago, by Dr.
Consider King. The lot on which the
building then stood was sold by the ex
ecutors of Jason Torrey to George L.
Mores in May, 1650, and by him deeded
to Mrs. Lucma Kiog, wife ot Dr. King,
on the 2Zih ot March, 1S0S.
Dr. Consider King was born in Rena-
salaerville, Albany county, X. V., March
IS, 1797. After a liberal education, and
a course of study for the profession, be
commenced the practice of medicine and
surgery in Miltord, Otsego county, X.
Y. Some years later be moved to ind
ham, Greeno county, N. Y.. and subse
quently to Coopers town, N. Y. From
that place he came to fionesdale in the
summer ot K51. where, notwithstanding
a peculiarly brusque and, to some peo
pie. forbidding manner, bis evident
ability soon secured him a large and lu
crativc practice. Ilia bouse was direct
ly adjacent to the old lionesdale Acad
my, and some of the now ancient pu
pils ot that institution will recall, as a
sample of his gnm humor, biashakmg a
dismembered leg at them on one occa
sion after he hod performed an amputa
tion on an unfortunate resident of Lbor
ry Ridge. When preparations were be
ing made for the first draft for w ayne
county, in 1SC2. Dr. King was a mem
ber ot the examining board, which held
iu sessions in the court bouse. The
writer hereof, who bad but recently re
covered from a protracted and serious
illuese, pnpscd in bis turn under the in
spection of the bjard, and well remem
here the cbeerlul greeting Recorded him
by the all too frank physician. "Pass
onf'aaidbe; and then to the Secretary
of the board, "Strike out his name; be'll
be dead before Christmas, anyway I'
And yet every one connected with tbe
management ot that draft long einre
passed to his reward, including the gruff
doctor, while the subject ot his disheart
ening prediction sits here forty six yeais
afterward, penning these "nearly for
gotten fact."
Dr. Kiog was nn invalid for two yrars
aud a bait before a painful illness re
suited in hia death on Wednesday morn
ing, February Cth, 1&C7. Ue was sur
vived by bis wife and one daughter, a
very gifted lady, the wife of Edgar b
Brown, a New York lawyer. Mrs. King
slid the property to Clarissa, wife of
Edwin E. Gilbert, ot the original tic
mng firm ot Hard, uuoert s. t'aimir,
who in 1S17 bought a tract of a thousand
acres of hemlock timber land lying along
Carlcy Brook in Oregon township and
in IMS built a tannery there. K h Oil
bert and Jacob k. Palmer were brothers
ic-law, and for several years lived in
adjoining hoi in what is now East
iioneodale. tanning firm finally
became GilU-n, Palmer & Rt-eds, OLd
eventually included the mercantile es
tablishment in Honesdale, originally
started by the Reed Brothers, in what
was known aa The Arcade. Though for
a long time very prosperous, business
reverses, following tbe panic of 18S7,
brought the firm to grief, and Mr Gil
bert, later on, became one of the pro
prietors of a tannery at Little Equiounk,
in Manchester township, maintaining
the family residence in Honesdale in the
house bought ot Mrs. King. While at
Little Equinunk Mr. Gilbert was found
dead, kneeling at the bedside in hie
room, on Thursday, February 23, 1(71
He was C5 years of age. and so fares
wse known bad been in good health up
to the time of his sudden demise. The
rrmaius were first brought to the Hones
dale home, and men taken to Morris,
Otsego Cj., N. Y., for interment. Three
months before his death Mr. Gilber
contracted to sell the Church and E ev
eaib. streets property to tbe Methodist
Episcopal (Society of Honesdale for
ml, but it was not until teu yoire later
that the church people acquired full
title. The original agreement was mde
December 1, 1S70, and during tbe Cbrirl
mas holidays following tbe ladies of the
i-ougreghtion held a fair in the Court
House from which the church netted

house was moved from tho corner to
tbe southern half ot the lot, which wu

the late Justus Sars. u tnend and cred
itor ot the church, made, the final fa)
nient on the original lot to Mrs. Gilbert,
and tbe eamoday bought of trunk H
Rockwell and Tamar, bis wife, (i daunt
ur of Mrs. Gilbert) for 11 U0i', fifteen
feet adjoining on the 11th street side
thus mukiug tho church lot lixi by ilil
leel. This was all done ia order that
tho church could receive from him full
title to the real estate.
By tho 4th of July, ls-, tho new
church bad reached tho point of the
Uving ot its corner stono, en evict
which made that particular Independ
ence Day quite memorable. Iter. J. M
Heid, D. D., ot New York, one ot the
Missionary Secretaries ot thedenomina

and tho services included uppropmi
remarks, and ceremonies in which th

caurch choir furnished the music.
capper box was sealed in tbe corner
stone, containing tbe names ot tbe local
church dignitaries, and borough an
bank officials, various Methodut publ
cations, copies of tho county papers,
report of tbe managers ot the D. & li
O. Co , for tho current year, specimens
of U. d. aod borough paper currencj
and coins, a catalogue ot the book a of
the Franklin Lyceum Association with
tho namea of its officers, a portrait ol
Col. Richard L. Sly, and various other
papers and articled. Tbe corner stone
itself came from Syracuse, where all of
the trimmings of the building were cut.
Tbe laii(H ot tbe church took advantage
ot tho occasion to hold a festival, which
netted tliu. Iu April, 171, the trustees
sold to Samuel B. Haley tbe old parson
age lot on Court street, between tuh aod
:ilti, originally presented tbe congrega
tion by the Del. it Uud. Canal Co. There
was a string attached to the gift, which
required a payment ot I1SU to tbe Com
pany it at any time the lot should be
used for other than parsonage purposes.
This clause in the deed was, bowever,
generously rescinded through the kind
uffloes of tbe late Coe K. Young, when
tbe title waa transferred to Mr. Haley.
Tbe handsome residence subsequently
built on the lot by tho new owner is now
tbe property and borue ot George M,
GcnUDg.
In acquiring euflicicnt land to accom
modate the new High School building,
now in process ot erection, tho board ot
school directors made a bargain with
the church oflicii"n tor the transfer to
them of the southern halt of tho church
lot; and a part of th" contract provided
for the rcm.vul of to p iracage build

it is a pleasure to record the work done

and at thia time I wish to mention tbo
debt of gratitude wo owo to our dear
triend, Rev. H. Q. Barnod, who is with

ot sevoral years in tho work of our so
ciety. His great success in thia field of
labor is well-known throughout our
county, and the results of hia personal
etiorte win be lull; revealed only in the
internal world.
The records do not state where the
Depository was located previous to
Feb. 1, lt51, at which time it waa re
moved to the atore of Hand & Kirtland.
where it remained until Miy S, 1&5J,
nen it waa removed to tbo atore ol U.

155'",, It had an abiding place in tbe
atore of Foster Brothers & Co. from
tbe year 1S."C to Dec. lbC3, and it was
then transferred to tbe care of B B.

The Era of New Mixed Paints !
This year opens with a deluge of new mixed paints. A condition brr.ogh
about by our enterprising dealers to get some kind of a mixed paint that we
