A photo of the steam drill, engine
and the men at. work on the railroad
would be a pleasant remeinberanee

able price, to each family of oui
town.
Judging from the silly items in
the Review recently, one would
think Newell foolish or flattened

rules" by which our court should be
governed and lots of other little
petty squibs that most any bodv
else would be ashamed to have go
nefore the public. It is our opinion
thai the new doctor recently located
it Dushore could do Newell lots of
.-cod. We give this information
free of charge and through kindues
for our brother editor and trust that
iie will appreciate a thought from
til's direction and be healed.
A Moon Sig» Farmer.
There Is u farmer in Lehigh conn
r.y whose work is entirely mapped
iut wiili reference to the moon.
Fence posts are planted when the
inoon "points up" so they are kept
from sinking out of sight. The
roofs of his bi|il(|ingß were put on
when the moon "pointed dowu" so
is to prevent the nails from pullirg
out of the shingles. Wheat is sown
in the "dark of the moon" to hide
the seed from the birds and worms.
He invariably butchers his hogs
when the ino' n is lull, otherwise lie
claims that the meat would shrivel
up in the pan. The quantity of
rainfall, according to this moon-awed
farmer, can be accurately judged
for a month when the new moon ap
pears. If the horn points down
i hat means wet and when the cres
ent lies on its back, dry weather
will prevail.
Mr. Lull and Mr. Muhatfey, who
were forced upon the Democratic
party as their nominees for Member
and Sheriff by a couple of so called
bosses, were both imported into ou r
county and we have collected but
8"> cents county tux from them, each
year, since they landed upon Sulli
van county soil, some few years ago,
Hence, this is all the duty we have
derived from them to Keep up the
expenses of our county. Mr. Lull
and Mr. MahatTcv are now seeking a
rewnrd for tins generous assessment,
by asking the people of our county
to elect them—Member and Sheriff,
two ot our best and most lucrative
offices. Will our people tolerate
this ? Don't you think it would be
good experience to imported clock
to let them know that they must
stand aside and give our old resi
dents the (ii-Kt opportunity of draw
ing this salary ? Mr. Iluckell and
Mr Simmons, are both old residents
of Sullivan county. They were
reared with us and have paid Sulli
van county tnx for the past thirty
or more years. Thd total county
tax paid by Iluckell and Simmons
is $10.U7. Voter, a thought of this
matter is all we ask and we are posi
tive that you will declare by your
. ballot on the Bth of Nov. in lavor of
1 the People's candidates.
LAWS MADE BY MONOPOLY
MEMBERS.
Horses and cattle very often get
on the track of railroads, and are
olttimcs killed. In such an event
no damages can be had of the rail
road company, but under a law en
acted by a majority of Members of
the Legislature, who are sent to
Ilarrisburg by railroad corporations,
the farmer or owner of the horse or
cow is made liable for any daaiage
that might result to the railroad
company on account of the animal
being on the track. This same rail
road Legislation has enacted another
law relieving the great railroad cor
poration from fencing in their tracks.
Should the farmer and the laboring
man of Sullivan county desire to
continue and strengthen this law,
vote for the Railroad candidate for
Member—M. J. Lull. Should you
conclude to better the condition of
affairs, vote for D. T. Huckell. Mr.
H. is a man in whom you can depend
will do what he thinks best for the
people and all the money in the city
of Ilarrisburg could not change his
vote. The monopoly men would
not dare to approach Mr. Huckell
for the purpose of buying his vote.
While on the other hand should Mr.
Lull be successful they would not
be under any obligations of calling
upon him as he goes there an em
ployee of the Heading railroad and
will seive in their interest. Mr. L.
would be unjust to his employees to
do other than this and when our
people are lead to believe different,
they are entertaining that which is
wide of the mark. It is this rail
road clique of Members who have
brought about this obnoxious laws
against the farmer and laborers and
it does not seem possible that the
intelligent citizens of our county
will continue this sort of laws by
sending a man to Harrisburg known
to be in league with this gigantic
com bind.
WONDERS IN A WINDOW.
Minnesota Catholics Excited
Over a Strange Apparition.
WINONA, Minn., Sept. 30.— The
peculiar manifestations in a window
of the village church, of Canton,
Minn., which have been creating
considerable excitement among the
Catholics in that section, are to be
scientifically examined by Bishoi
Cotter. Several weeks ago the in
habitants of Canton were starth'
by the announcement that a portraii
had by Divine means been imprint
ed on a window of the Catholic
Church there- At first the appari
tion appeared to consist of a woman
with an infant in arms, and at times
i dim halo was discernible about her
head. The story then took tin
form that this was a portrait of tin
Virgin Mary and Christ child, and
the crowds of vjnitors increased ten
fold. Paralytic cripples and othei
afflicted persons came 111 droves,
and after a glimpse of the pictures,
away their crutches, exclaim
in" that they were cured.
The window, which is in the north
gable of the church, was removed,
and the Bishop brought It to
Winona, where he will give it a
thorotlgU examination in company
with pilfer prominent Cuthol.c
cleigymen. Nineteen pairs ol
crutches are nailed to the church
walls, tl»o result of alleged cures
performed by the Virgin Mary,
wlioin the pilgrims firmly believe is
present and helps the siok who
come to the church.
Scr \NTON. Sept. 21.
cratic lenders do not attempt to con
eeal tlieir ohagrin oyer the fizzle
which grew out of their attempt t<>
hold a big meeting of the Demo
cratic oluba ip this city T'lesdav
Sept. 20. It was expected that
fully 1,500 visiting delegates would
attend, and upon the strength of
representations to this effect, all the
local saloon and hotel men were in
duced to contribute liberally toward-*
the expenses of the affair. The
hotel and restaurant keepers laid in
a large stook of eatables and every
thing was in readiness f->r a great
boom for the pnrt.v loeall , upon the
wave of which Hon. Lemuel A mer
man expected to he carried through
another successful campaign for
Congress.
The disappointment of Mr A mer
man is keener than that >f the Cen
tral Democratic Club, for he will
have to bear the b'nnt of l<-o >1 dis
satisfaction. 1 Instead of the 1.500
visitors expected, only 320, all told
were registered at the hotels, and
even the presence of Hensel at the
meeting last night failed to fill th •
Academy. There was comparative
ly no patron 9 for the hotel and
liquor men. Provisions are wasting
at all the restaurants, and the bo«l
that has gone up is a sufficient in
dication of deeply lacerated feelings.
Instead of help, the convention here
has proved a boomerang.
The last featuro of the convention
occurred on the 21st. It was a pic
nic given in honor of the visitors at
Koch's Park, which was about as
slimlv attended a* the convention
It would appear that the Demo
cratic party no longer survive iu the
old Keystone State.

WHO KIULL VOTE ?
Taken from Pennsylvania State
Report*. Vol. MXI. P. 307
Comprising Cases Adjudged In
the Supreme Court ot Penna.
"It is evid int that the term "in
habitant" 01 ' -resident" in these
clauses cannot mean one sojourning
temporarily, or for some special
p irpose, but refers to one
who has a permanent abode; the
domicil of the senator, representa
tive, governor or judge. "Inhabi
tant," (says Webster), "a dweller;
one who dwells or resides perman
ently in a place." The judges of
this court sitting in Pittsburg for
weeks, at the time of general elec
tion, though in the prosecution of
their business, yet away from home,
have never dreamed they had n
right to vote there. No one doubts
that one domiciled in another state,
but resident here for a special pur
pose of business or pleasure, is in
eligible to election as a senator, rep
resentative, governor or judge. It
is equally clear, that the electors of
the state are those who have their
homes within it, and not elsewhere
Their domicil is there, and their
home is the place where they
permanently reside, and to which
they intend to return when away
from it. It is also clear, that one
domiciled in another state cannot
ne an elector here, though he be n
resident here tor some temporary
purpose, or on some special business,
and though Lis Btay uay be pro
longed upward of a year. There
fore, when the Constitution declares
ihat the elector must ha a resident
of the state for one year, it refers
beyond question, to the state as his
home or domicil, and not as the place
of a temporary sojourn. This
being tue character of the state
residence, it defines, as w«have setn
the district residence ; for both are
members of the same sentence and
are qualified by tlie same words,
-having resided" without repetition.
The elector must, therefore, vote at
lioine, not only in the state but in
the district where his home is.
In these days of swift traveling,
one voting in the morning one hun
dred miles away from home, where
he is temporarily sojourning, miitht
vote again at homo before uight.
ile has not lost his domieil, where
his family and chief business are, by
liis temporary sojourn cu some
special employment.
Undoubtedly (says Judge Iving),
residence is a question of intention.
Incises involving it, the inquiry is
quo animo the party either moved
10 or from the state. And upon the
solution of this question, depends
ihe fact, whether the petitioner has
gained or lost a residence But be«
fore this question can arise an actual
removal must have taken place. A
mere intention to remove notcousnm
m-ited, cau neither forfeit the party's
old domieil nor enable him to ac
quire a new one. Removal out of
the stale, without an intention
permanently to reside elsewhere
will not lose residence, nor will a
mere intention to remove permanent
ly, not followed by actual removal,
acquiie it: Case of James Casey, an
insolvent debtor, 1 Ashmead 12G.
Tljese extract* will enable us to
und< rstand clearly the term resi
deuce, as denoting that home or
domieil which the third article of
the Constitution applies to the free
men of the Commonwealth. It
means that place where the elector
uvikefc his permanent or true home,
his principal place of business, and
his family residence, if he have one;
where he Intends to remain indefin
itely, and without a present inten
lion to depart) when he leaves it
lie intends to return to It, and after
his let urn he deems himself at home.
It remains now to apply these char
acteristics of residence to the case
in hnnd. The stated case expressly
declares that the students referred
to in it, came to Allentown from
other counties, for no other purpose
than to receive a collegiate eduea
ilon, but intended to leave after
graduating. It is evident that the
college was not their true and
permaneut home ; their stay there
was not to be definite, as the p'aoe
of a fixed abode, until future circ im
stances should induce them to re
move. Their purpose was indefinite
and temporary, and when accomp
lished they intended to leave. They
retained their original domieil, for
the facts stated sh"w that they never
lost. On this point the authorities
are in entire accord. "The third
rule I shall extract (said the Master
of the Rolls) is, that the oiiginal
domieil, or as it .s called fjrum
originis, or the domieil origin, is to
prevail until the party Hot only has
acquired another, but has manifested
and carried into execution an jutea*
lion of abandoning his former
domicil, and taking another as his
sole domicil.
These principles enable us now to
dispose of the first of the two classes
into which the stated case divides
these students, viz: "Those who
support themselves, or are assisted
pecuniarily by persons other than
th"ir parents, are emancipated from
their father's families; have left the
home of their parents and never in
tend to return and make it a perm,
anent abode." Having, as the case
states, come to Allentowu for no
other purpose than to receive a col
legiate education, and intending to
leave after graduating, they have
not lost their home domicil, and
could vote there on returning to it
though they should not re-enter
their father's house.
Emancipation from their father's
family and independent support, and
the leaving of the home belonging
to their parents, have not forfeited
their own domicil. Their father's
house is not necessarily their home,
but the place is where it is. Though
not in the bosom of that family, the
place of their residence is not lost
to them until they have voluntarily
changed it and found a new home.
Upon the terms of the stated case, it
cannot be said they have abandoned
their original home, and actually
obtained another. The second class
needs no comments. They are
those students "who are supported
by their parents, visit their parents'
home during vacation, and may or
may not return there alter graduat
ing-." It is clear as to both classes
the college is not their home. They
are not members of the community
among whom they aojoilrn. They
have no common interest; do not
intend to live with or cast their lot
among them. They have no proper
motive to interfere in their local af
fairs. On no proper principle of a
true residence should the student
vote to-day and fasten on the com
munity officers whom the majority
do uot desire, then g-aduate to
morrow and be gone.
The great underlying principle ol
a republic is, thai uien should be
permitted to govern themselves, but
not to constrain others. Vet this
would be the result of *uiJp a shift
ng vote, which like th* Parthian
arrow, pierces as he who easts it
llees. There are notions of
liberty anil personal rights, which
often impress the mind, and lead it
to incline against what may seem t<>
be a restraint. A man ; s a man
everywhere, and the th' £hl is apt
to rise, a freeman shou vote any
where. But the only if, wise ai d
rational liberty, foi fled on the
uolden rule of doi <g ... one would
'done by, and upon the maxim
sic utere tuo itt alit nuia iton loedas
i9 that which i8 regulated l>y laws
made for the common good.
The rights of all, the peace of BO
cietv, ami the good government of
the state, require that the elector
should vote at home, in his pi i per
district wh'-re he is known, an>i
among those wi'h whom he has cast
his lot, until yielding to circum
stir.ci's. or to a desire ot ebutue, he
has chosen voluntarily to ahand< n
h'S toriner residcuce, and actually to
gain a new one.
