EWTEKED AT POST-OFFICE. LAPOKT
*A., AS SECOKD-CLASB MATTER.
J. V. RETTENBURY,
WATCHMAKER AND JEWELER,
DUSHORE, PA.
A l*rctry Qnnrrel.
It is a very pretty row that is
brewing in the ranks of the rival
Democratic parties of Pennsylvania.
The parties have somewhat changed
in their relationship to each other.
They were formerly the Randall
party and the Wallace party. The
advent of Cleveland broke up the
lines pretty thoroughly and we then
had a Cleveland party, a Wallace
and a remnant that clustered around
Randall. This remnant has practi-
got over into the Wallace
part 3', and the two forces not ar
rayed against each other are led by
Wallace and Scott. The Erie states
man counts among his followers ex
■ Governor Pattison, ex-Postmaster
Harrity and the old Cleveland of~
fice-holding list of local statesmen
who would like to fill the offices
again and are shouting for Pattison
and Cleveland and the spoils.
Whether Pattison is a Cleveland
man or a Pattison man or some
other man for 1892. makes little dif
ference, but the impression sought
to be conveyed to the general public
is that the nomination of Pattison
for Governor means a general
strengthening of the lines for the
ex-President. Wallace protests that
he is not opposed to Cleveland.
Were he elected Governor and his
interests lay in the direction of
Cleveland doubtless he wouldn't be,
but whether friendly to him or not
he has been forced by his opponents
into a defensive position, for it is
the Cleveland, Scott and Pattison
combination that is making the con
test against him. He is, therefore,
the victim of circumstances, if noth
ing more.
We have been treated to a very
delightful series of interviews of
late, while interesting outbursts of
Democratic harmony have added
force to these circumstances. First
came the unqualified declaration of
the Hon. William L. Scott for Pat
tison. Mr. Scott is for Cleveland
and he says so. "I notice," he re
marked, "that Mr. Wallace has been
making a qualified denial of his
hostility to Mr. Cleveland. He
simply states he is not in a combina
tion against Mr. Cleveland as charg
ed, but he is careful not to deny
that he intends to use whatever
political strength and influence he
may possess to defeat Mr. Cleveland
in case he would be a candidate.
Mr. Wallace's candidacy is approved
and strongly urged by the New
York Sun, and it almost goes with
out saying that no one who is not
hostile to Mr. Cleveland would re
ceive the support of the Sun."
On top of this comes the opinion
of no less an authority than the
Hon. William 11. Sowden, of Allen
town, the man who stood ty the
side of Randall on the floor of Con
gress and valiantly fonght against
free trade. He went down opposing
Cleveland's methods, and naturally
he is opposed to everything that
savors of Olevelandism. He de
clares most emphatically that
Wallace should be nominated, and
Scott's bossism will not be tolerated
And these declarations are most
corpially indorsed by the Hon.
Benjamin F. Meyers, of Harris
burg.
It is an interesting quarrel which
will be fought out at the State Con
vention, and it is getting hotter as
the time for that gathering draws
nearer.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
Cigarette Smoking.
Heart failure is one of the almost
certain results of excessive cigarette
smoking, and is no doubt the cause
of death in more cases than are
Buspected, says the Philadelphia
Star. When che law forbidding the
sale of cigarettes to boys under 16
was passed, it was thought the evil
would be at least partially abated,
and for a time such was the case,
but within a lew months it has
'.woken out afresh find seemingly
•with more vigor than ever. The
Star would like to be informed
whose duty it is to see that the
anti-cigaretle law is enforced ?
There id every reason to believe that
no more attention is paid to it than
il it had never been enacted. Boys
, get their supplies of the forbidden
article from some source and seem
ingly in any desired quantity. It is
just such neglect as this that brings
so many of our laws and ordinances
into contempt and renders them
completely null and void. Almost
daily deaths or serious impairments
of the health of boys are published,
and if the total was known of the
injuries inflicted upon the systems
of those who use the cigarette, (he
community would he startled at the
aggregate. There are many good
people engaged in philantropic work
in this city, but none that have yet
undertaken a crusade against the
cigarette, tnan which there are few
evils demanding more determined
opposition.

Sew York Enumerator* Obtain
Warrant* (or Obwtructionitta.
NEW YORK, June 9. —The way of
census enumerators here lias proved
so hard that the objectors who re
fused to answer their questions to
the number of sixty or thereabouts
to-day came to grief. Every day
has added fresh woes to the trials of
the enumerator. To-day his troubles
culminated, and warrants wero is
sued from the United States Dis
trict Attorney's office for the arrest
of sixty of his tormentors.
The enumerator was in hard luck
to-day. One by one they straggled
into the District Attorney's office in
all sorts of conditions—some with
torn raiment, others with discol
ored taccs. Among the enumerators
were three women, who had been
treated as roughly as their male
fellow laborers in the census vine
yard. Whether the ladies parleyed
with ancient females turning fifty
and giving their agts as twenty-live
is not known, but certain it is that
the women enumerators gave evi
dences of having had their feelings
badty hurt.
SIT MM VIUI.Y BOUNCED.
Among the general run of com
plaints the following specific cases
may be selected as specimens of the
trials of the census enumerator.
One of the officials rang the bell of
a house on West Third street and
lie was admitted. The enumerator
was guyed by the inmates. Then
he incautiously asked the proprietor
what century she was bom in. He
also said that the inmates were old
enough to die and many othe r
things that hurt their feelings.
Then he asked them, as the law pro
vides, whether they were white or
black. Then the war began. The
occupants became so many Amazons.
The women charged upon the census
enumerator and ejected him. A
warrant ensued for the arrest of the
proprietor.
Another cause ofdisturbance arose
on West Twelfth street, when one
of the census men asked, according
to his list of questions, how many
children the lady of the house had.
The lady of the house was enjoying
the first period of her honeymoon,
and her husband, who in the
vicinity, made things lively for the
official.
MET WITH AXES.
From tbo Harlem district com
j plaints couie in by the score. In
1 the big tenement districts in the
| lowei part of the city things are
I worse. There the await the coming
of the census enumerator with axes.
I Over fifteen of the warrants were
! directed to Madison, Oliver and
Cherry streets. In these streets the
; enumerators say that the people in
j the houses will accept the tabulated
census papers from them and then
tear them up before their faces.
Remonstrance only provokes dis
! turbance and to-day it was not un
! common to see a census man flying,
pursued by women and children.
In many cases the police had to
interfere. The peculiarity about the
issuance of the warrants is that the
enumerators were unable to give the
names of the offenders, and as a con
sequence they were all made out in
the name of John Doe and Mary
lloe. Another difficulty in the
I prosecution of the offenders will be
the discovery of their identity.
Generally when a man is flying for
his life from a mob he is tro busy to
remember the faces of the ringlead
ers. The marshal's bailiffs, as a
consequence, were unabia to make
manj' arrests.
ll* "ORIGINAL PACKAGES."
A Decision Tfml Pl ain a Hloiv ai
loiva Prohibition.
MASON CITY, la., June 9.—Judge
John C. Sherwin made a sweeping
decision in the origiAl package in
junction cases which have been
pending for the past weel, which is
by far the severest blow at prohibi
tion the State has yet received.
In his decision the Judge finds
that the defendants, as agents of
importers, could occupy tie building
for the purpose of selling beer in
original packages to all pvsons ex
cept minors and habitual Irunkards
and that such use would i»t consti
tute a nuisance, though the beer
was drank on the premises by the
purchasers and that the 6ales, al
thomh shipped by the cises were
sales in original packages.

tion restraining defendants from
selling to minors and thos« in the
habit of being intoxicated.— Ex..
