True it inav be tlmt the men who have im ii! a* above the making of mi ney were not there,lint the bine aud sinew of onr people, those from the luidtlle classes, wore in the forefront. It has always been thus. It wan no in the re volutionary war. Histoy repealed it self 11 the Civil v»r when none lint the women ami aged men were left to till the farms. There will always be this great mass of citizens to draw fiom so long as the government in stituted by our forefathers lives. It was from the ranks of the middle classes that onr armies have always been recruited, and so it has been in the history of every country which has gained its freedom. The battles in England for liberty from the domina tion of the barons was fought by the men who came from the quiet pre cincts of the country and the small towns and villages. The overthrowing of the Bourbon dynasty in France was due to the same people. The advance ment made in Germanv dates from the peaceful rebellion of the poorer classes The redemption of the Low Countries came about in the same way. They nre the classes which make the rich richer. It is through the victories won by them that the world has advanced. It is these people,honest, God fearing, quiet in demeanor, fixed in purpose, who laugh at the pessimist when he asserts that patriotism is on the wane. These pessimists never were patriots. What they say is but'the open ackuow ledgements of what tliey are. Born in the United States they do not belong here. They are worse than the alien who comes here full of the idea that this is a free country and whose de finition of freedom is license. He rati be educated out of this belief. The pessimist sees a wrong, yet docs not try to remedy it. Others do this and he dislikes the result. Ho has made up his mind that the country is going to pieces and lie throws a rock at some of the supposed debris. But there is no wreckage except that which he sees in his imagination The United States has a missiou and it is working out the problem. The greatest nation the sun shines upon, it is but in the in fancy of its prosperity. The wrongs which exist will be remedied,and this will be done without bloodshed. The people have a great love for the ballot aud'through it whatever wrongs there may be will be lighted. Dear Food. The recent failure of two prominent ■wholesale produce dealers in Pittsbnrg is ascribed to the decline in the de mand for foodstuffs at the high prices prevailing in that city. When con sumers begin to economize prices tend to a lower level, when they have beeu maintained by com binations of producers or middlemen If the high cost of living be due to an actual shortage of crops, little re lief can be expected until the yield of another season reaches the market. In Pittsburg the wholesale dealers sav that the produce growers have combined to raise prices; that it is the initial cost of products which has inflated prices. It is asserted that the farmers iu certain sections, who for merly marketed their own crops in dividually. have in recent years org anized,and have appointed sales agents who fix the price to the commission men. Here we have the elements of a trust "in restraint of trade," and probably amendable to the laws pro hibiting monopolies. The responsibility for the exorbitant prices charged for produce in Pitts burg may be revealed in pending litig ation in the Federal Court, in which the Produce Association is concerned. At present the commission men are seeking to place the blame upou the farmers' "combination." It is possible that consumers are suffering from both combinations, and also from the natural scarcity of cer tain staple products. Fruit and veget able crops have beeu short in all por tions of the country, with the excep tion of the Pacific coast. The great rise in the price of meat has thrown an unusual demand upon other articles and this tends to increase the cost of these other commodities, whose prices are already swollen by a short supply. The price of meat has set the pace for what seems to be a general advance along the line of foodstuffs. There are no assuring indications of a general fall in prices. The law may be sufficient to reach combinations of farmers or middlemen to maintain prices, hut legal processes move slowly, and hefore the combina tions have been brought to judgement through the mazes of litigation the situation may be improved by the bounty of nature. West Washington policemen and sev eral constables made a raid on Sunday on the gamblers who were accustomed to gather in shanties and conduct their games. In all twelve men were captured.

As tin machine left the officer iu the rear one of tlie occupants waved at liini iu a manner which to the chief seemed a trifle tantalizing. At the same Instant the officer it stop watch was brought iut i requisition and before the machine had escaped he timed it between two well defined t >ints. The number at the rear of the automobile was mi-sing, but the oitlc er by walking lip town was able to get the number—oo7s—from the other end of the car Yesterday he located the owner. He called him up during the day nnd the hearing last evening was the result. The exact rate of speed «t rained by the machine, while it was being timed,the chief of police states, was over eighteen miles per hour, whereas the legal limit is ten miles per hour. Mr. Cressman appeared before .lust ice Oglesby at 7 o'clock Monday eveu ing. He was inclined to doubt the chief of police's ability, while standing at the corner of Bloom and Millstreetg,to time an automobile properly while it w as making a dash up Mill street. The officer, however, made it plain that he was prepared for an emergency of that kind aud that with such facilities as he commanded he was able to get at the exact rate of speed. Mr Oressman finally ilecided to pay the bill, which, with fine and costs, ; amounted to twelve dollars. He was disposed to contest payment, hut he explained that he was too busv and that considering tlie loss of time it would be cheaper for him to plank ; down fine aud costs than togo to j court. i In regard to the missing number | Mr. Cressmau intimated that lie must have lost it on his way ilowu. American Boy. | For y9ars the hand of man and, for that matter, of woman, too, has beeu against that very lively product of the American home —the ho.v. We all know that during his younger jcais he is not by any means a joy forever, aud yet we wouldn't for the world he without him He enlivens things alt around and just thiuk of what n ci:- ! c.us parade would be without a large detachment of Young America march ing in front of the line of parade. I That he doesu't see the parade is nothing to him. He is at the head of the procession and that is enough. 1 Even today, with all the fads of the ! moderu system of education agaiust his ideas, he finds time to develop his muscles by playing ball on the vacant lots". He still keeps in touch with the best swimming holes aud he is coguiz ; aut of the location of the best places iu a stream from which to haul fish. The modern system of education doesn't teach him these things. He i discovers them himself —that is ii he is tlie right kind of si boy. Progress, however.put a great thorn in his path. : We all kuow of the recklessness with which the average electric light cotn ! pany stretches its wires through trees. Now one of the inherent privileges which a boy claims is that of climb ing a tree if the opportunity presents itself. The stringing of wires belter skelter renders this a dangerous thing aud there have been instances iu which the boy lias become a victim of the | uninsulated wire. There were objec tions filed against the actiou of the : owners of the wites but no attention has beeu paid to it. This was probab ly ou the supposition that, the boy had no right to climb the tree. But things ! are different now and the difference is the outcome of a court decision. Not a little lower court, but the supreme court of Mississippi. In a case which | was brought against the McCoombs City Electric Light aud Power com pany in the highest conrt in Missis sippi, the ruling was made "that an electric light company, stretching its | wires over trees filled with branches reachiug almost to the ground, must ! take notice of the immemorial habit iof small boys to climb trees, hence it holds that "the company is liable for injuries to a boy dve to coming in contact with an uninsured wire pass ing through a tree in which he was climbing." At last Young America apparently has found a friend, and a good strong one,too. He has the right, in Mississippi, to cilmb a tree and fall | and break an arm if he wants to That ;is his own fault. But if lie runs against an Uninsulated wire and is iu i jured the owner of the wire will pay the damages. Thns does he come into his rights. Who can longer say that a court lias no soul?

The Department of Lubor at Wash ington has collated,and will soon pub lish, some very interesting data in re gard to the causes and cost of strikes aud lockouts in the United State* for the irnst 25 years. Short, of actual war there has never been devised u more costly, unsatisfactory aud mateiially disastrous method of settling economic disputes. For the twenty years be tween 1881 and 1900, inclusive, the loss to employes through strikes amounted tn $257,863,478. The 1 ss to workers through lockouts in the same period was 148,819,745, or a total loss to em ployes through industrial disturbances of $3,>6,683,338. The number of estab lishments involved in strikes was 117,- 1 500, making an average loss to em ployes in each et»hlislimenf in which strikes occurred of $2194 These strikes threw out of employment 6,105,094 wage earners, making an average loss of *42 to each There were 9933 lock outs in the twenty years; the average loss to each employer, $41115; the num ber of employes dismissed, 504 307, making an average loss of JOT to each wage earner It is estimated that the 10-s to employers through strikes iu the same time amounted to $122,731,- 121, and through lockouts, $19,927,983, makim; a total cost to employers of $142,051), 104. The above monstrous figures only cover the money loss of the combat ants—employers nnd employes. No at tempt ever been made to compute riie extent of loss inflicted upon the mass ot men aud women not directly engaged iu labor disputes, for which there is no recovery. But the inter ruption of output in important in dustries and incident disturbance of values have no doubt proved of as great cost to the public as that borne by tlie actual participants. Shamokin Men Attack Woman. For some time a cloaked man has been annoying womon in Shamokin at night and various residents have been on the lookout for him. Monday night a number of unknown young men thought they saw him hiding under an awning in a lonely part of town, whereupon they threw the supposed man to the ground and kicked and clubbed their victim until she was un conscious nnd blood flowed from num erous lacerations. Then they fled. Later the object of their assault was discovered to be Mrs. Mary Baker, seventy-two years old. She was on the way home when she sat dowii for a brief rest, throwing a shawl over her head to protect herself from the cold weather. She was injured so badly that she may not recover. Mr. and Mrs. William Sechler, of Shamokin, are visiting the home of the former's brother, George R. Sech ler, West Mahoning street. WASHING™ TOLD AN UNTRUTH An olfltinM' nr*Mp»|'«r known «« the "Danville DriiHKnt" prlnM by Charles Cook brings to light n not nn- UKiml episode, which illustrates the illiiwlv*at«|N the tiewspa|>er editor ta ilored under in liiii effort* to gather new* sixty year* ago.

Wharton,the stores ot]Mr, Manser and of Mr. Yext he inter, together with their dwelling houses, in without foundation in fact. We received our information front a precious little scat tip named, WASHINGTON GEAR HART, of Sunbury. a boy about 15 1 yearn of age who had came up to this place on the day our paper went to press, and who positively without >hesitancy, declared to a number of persons that he had seen the tire, had assisted in saving several aitides, anil had himself beeu actively engaged in subduing the flames,and detailing the minutiae of tlie conflagration. In order to be certain about it, two of the hands employed at this office, went to see hiiu personally, and returned with the same information. It is thus that we were imposed upon. What could have induced the incipient rascal to insist upon the truth of his statement, ! we cannot conceive. It shows an in nate depravity of heart, which for his ; own sake and the sake of thecommun- j ity in which he lives, we trust will yet be eradicated, and that he may become a useful member of society, of wliich at present lie gives so very lit j tie prospect. It would be interesting to know what became of the untruthful Wash ington and what kind of a ntan he proved to be. Perhaps the "innate \ depravity of heart" was "eradicated" | later and the "incipient rascal" blos somed forth info a "useful member of society". Who knows? Charles Beaver Is No More. Charles Beaver, the well-known ho tel keeper at Strawberry Ridge, whose illness was noted in these columns,de parted this life at 1:30 o'clock Mon- ; day morning after an illness of two weeks. Mr. Beaver's death was by no means unexpected, although on Sunday his condition had slightly improved. He i was taken ill a couple of weeks ago His symptoms were those of pleuris\ at first, but this disease later became complicated with heart trouble. Hi suffering at times was most intense. The deceased was aged fifty-eight years and two days. He was a native j of Snyder county but lived in this sec tion for a good while. For four years preceding his death he was landlord iof Billmeyer's hotel at Strawberry Ridge. He was widely known and had many friends. He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. Charles Martz, who lives near Jerseytown. | PERSONALS! J ! . E Mrs. Johu Eisensart, Mrs. Samuel Blouh ana Henry L.

THE DANGER SIGNALS ARE OP |Spet ial Correspondence.) Philadelphia. Oct. t. A commute* of manufacturers of this city hsi started a movement to Impress upon the dtltens of Pennsylvania thvtr direct snd vital Intsrsst In the main tenance of th* protective tariff policy of the national government. Following up the formal action taken at a mrwnt meeting of the Manufac turers' club, when vigorous resolu tions were adopted In opposition to any "tinkering with the tariff." influ ential men. prominently Identified with the Industrial Interests of this stall', huve inaugurated an educational agitation to awaken voters of Pennsylvania to the uttiigpr confront ing them from the development of sentiment. In the west and elsewhere, in favor of a revision of the tariff. The assistance of Chairman Wesley R. Andrews and his colleagues of the Republican State committee, has beeu sought to further the campaign for a "stand pat" policy on the tariff issue. Manufacturers Are Alarirted. The manufacturers admit that they are concerned over the persistence of the tariff revisionists, and they look to Pennsylvania Republicans to coma to the front, as they have done In the past, and emphasize their continued fealty to the principles of a protective tariff The tariff revisionists have been ■ending tons of literature Into Penn sylvania for t'.ie purpose of breaking the lines of the protective tariff Re pnblicans, and they have been bank ing upon cutting down the vote of the Republican state ticket at the coming election and thus weaken the voice of the state in the couoclla of the Repub lican party of the nation. The enemies of protection are mak ing a great play to have delegates elected to the coming Republican Ni tlonal convention who will favor the Insertion of a plank In the platform calling for a revision of the tariff. The manufacturers who have started into combat this proposition realize the gravity of the situation and look to Pennsylvania to block the game of the revisionists. Chairman Andrews' Call to Action. After a conference with some of tho leading manufacturers Interested In the movement, which means so much to the industrial and business inter ests of this state, Colonel Andrews to day said: "Pennsylvania's Industries are en dangered by the agitation for a revi sion of the tariff, and none can appre ciate what I say better than those who have their capital invested and who depend upon the protective tariff to shield them from ruinous competition from the products of the poorly paid labor of foreign countries. "There must be no tinkering with the tariff, cither b : 'te or after the presidential election, and Republicans of Pennsylvania must be alive to the situation If any move shall be made to change existing tariff schedules., even in the slightest degree, it will in augurate a period of doubt and uncer tainty which would be reflected in the utter demoralization of Pennsylvania's manufacturing interests, and there could be but one result, a condition that would bear heavily upon the farmers and wage workers of our com monwealth. and seriously embarrass the capital employed In vast fields of commercial activity. "Pennsylvania will not lose an op portunity at the coming election to proclaim to the other states in the Union that she has no sympathy with the 'lowa idea' for a scaling down of the tariff. "In no more effective and solemn manner can the Republicans of Penn sylvania meet this Issue than by regis tering at the November election their emphatic decree that by no act of theirs shall the bars be let down which now exclude foreign competition with American labor. "The contest this fall is but the skir mish of the great presidential battle of next year. "If Pennsylvania shall roll up a pro nounce ■d majority for th.- cause of Re publicanism in November, the state will continue to wield a potent influ ence in the national councils of the party. "If. as the result of indifference and of paying heed to the shallow and sen sational charges of the opposition, the Democratic candidate for state treas urer should be elected, of which, In my Judgment, there is not the remotest chance if Republicans perform their full measure of duty, the shout would to up all over tho land that the Repub licans cf Pennsylvania were Indiffer ent as to the continuance of the tariff, and. thereby greatly weaken the Influ ence of the Republicans of Pennsyl vania In the next Republican natiunal convention. Necessity For Action. "The consequence of such a state of affairs would be Illustrated by a cessa tion of all Industrial enterprises with in our borders, with the Inevitable re sult that the workingman and the farmer would In the end bear the brunt of the disaster. "Face to fac« with these conditions and with th* full knowleCg* am to the embarrassments that would follow, all Republicans are appealed to as mem bers of the great party of protection and prospsrlty to recognise the neces sity for earnest, active, and patrlotle work In order not only to bury the op position beyond the hope of resurrec tion, but to strengthen th* position of our grest state at next year's Republi can national convention in the battle Itiat must inevitably ba fought there for the preservation of the protective policies which have made Pennsylvania the keystone of the Industrial arch of the federal union. None should be de ceived by those who affect not to see disaster in Republican Indifference, but all should goto work at once with a will to discharge their full measure of duty. "Every Republican committeeman should work to circumvent the de signs of the Democrats to obtain pos session of the state treasury, which, by the way. they will attempt to aocom pllsh by the circulation of false state *«" bv asnerslons noon the hon- FARMERS CUTTING BUMPER CORN CROP All over tho count! v, on utmost ev ery farm,the farmer* urn cutting what has turned out to be, notwithstanding many misgiving*, a >umper crop of corn. Ever cince the planting there have been numerous predictions that the corn crop this year would be small Unusual conditions prevailed this sea sou, but it has developed ttiat every thing in the end was favorable to the firmer. Tho late planting was offset by the late frost; the drought in the summer only provided the dry grow ing w< at her that is so essential to the best development of corn. Corn growing is now over, having been stopped by the frost of Saturday Light, but everywhere the crop had matured so that the blight did little or no harm. All this is very gratify ing to the agriculturalists, who earlier in the season regarded the probability of a good corn crop as slight. HAY OF GOOD QUALITY. Tiie I.ay too, was a Rood crop this year, as far as quality went. As to quantity it was not up to the average. The bright, iiot sun of the mid-sum mer dry spell shone too fiercely on tlie stubble of the first crop, blighting the tender shoots of the second crop. Asa result the second crop of hay which would, under ordinary circumstances, be harvested about now,amounts prac tically to nil. What the World Owes. It is among men who try to get a living by shift or trick of laziness that wo hear the familiar words, "the world owes mo a living. " A loafer who never did a useful thing in his life, who dresses at the expense of his tailor and drinks at the cost of his friends, always insists that the world owes him a living, and declares his intention to secure the debt. We should like to know how it is that a man who owes the world for every mouthful he ever ate and every gar ment he ever put on should be so heavy a creditor in account with the world. The loafer does not tell the truth about it. The worlds owes him nothing but a very rough coffin and a retired and otherwise useless place to put it in. The world owes a living to those who are not ono, to children, to the sick, to the disabled and the aged; to all who in the course of nature, or by force of circumst ances,are dependent. And it was main ly for the supply of the want of these that men were endowed with the pow er to produce more than enough for themselves. To a genuine shirk the world owes nothing. MRS. JOHN W.

Humble, M D., missionary among the mountain eerH of Virginia. Wont Virginia, Ken tucky and Tennesse and Mr. R F Sul/.or of Miunesota. The itinerary of those fnuiou- Sab bath school workers takes ill nearly the entire Union. Institutes are held, however, in only two or three town of each presbytery. In the Northum-t berlund Presbytery the lucky towns besides Danville are Wllliaiugport and Lewinburg. A circumstance which influenced the missionaries in favor of the Grove church undoubtedly lies in the fact that Dr. Ferguson and Mr. Sulzer were oldtime friends and co-workers of Rev. Dr. McCormack, the pastor, in Minnesota, where the latter labor ml in the Presbyterian ministry for seven years. Di. Ferguson, it will be recalled, visited the Grove church some two years ago.
