Montour American FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Oct. 1, IWB. toTowsr illl'S LAKE In the case of the North Mountain Water supply company against E. R. and Rosa Troxell, Judge Puller in Luzerne county has made an order directing the Troxells to open the gates of the dam at Harvey'B lake and let out three million gallons of water a day, until such time as the present dry spell is over. The water company supplies Nanti eoke and Newport township. A large p»rt of its supply comes from the lake (in 1 the water flaws over the spillway of the dam down a creek. The water got so low that it doesn't flow over the dam. The Troxells aver that if the dam wasn't there the water would ha\e es caped to such an extent that it would be lower now than the natural outlet before the dam was erected. JaJge Fuller said the overwhelming ue9d of the people must be considered so as to pravent a public calamity even at the risk of a technical infringement of private rights. The water company is directed to file a bond to protect the defendants from daniajes. The three million gallons a day will low er the lake an average of one-sixth of a'i inch. Birthday Party.

IDLE MONEY. The dollar that is carriei iu a man's pocket or hidden away in the bureau drawers' or under the carpet is entire ly useless and is doing nobody ai y goo 1. Ordinarily speaking, the work ing man or the farmer who hoards his money r»r home, who does not deposit it iu his home bank, Where it can be used for the commercial benefit of his community, is just as much u miser to the extent of his savings as the Wall street man with his countless millions —with this difference, the Wall-street man lias no fears for the future. With him it is not a question of bread and butter or providing a little competence against old age. With the workiup man and the farmer the savings mean everything, and he can not be blamed, especially in times of general panic and commercial unrest, for withdraw ing his savings from the bank and con verting them into cash and taking them home until the wave of panic has passed. Tlierefore.it should be the duty of this great Government to not only create the dollar, but to regulate the bunking interests of the couutry so as to surround eacli institution with every pjssibie safeguard and insure the depositor absolutely against loss. After this is done it is then sufficient time to charge the wage-earner with individual selfishness and lack of pat riotism in refusing to adopt the pub lic banking house for the safe-keeping of his money. When we consider, first, that the United States Government alone has the power of creating money,and wtien we consider, second, that the great majority of this actnal money belongs to the farmers, miners and mechanics, How a Picture Is Composed. In examining such a picture as Mun kacsy's "Christ Before mate" or De tallle's "Saluting the Wounded" yon ; are inclined to think that the painter 1 saw the scene as a whole—that he ar ranged his models and straightway pro ceeded to delineate the scene on virgin ! canvas. Hut, alas for this theory, were you to take a knife and commence scraping that same canvas you would ! find a pathetic record of figures once ! alive and now forever blotted out—the j soldiers or the Pharisee who once i stood prominently here now stands oh- j scttrely there. This tree or house was yonder, and yonder figure's place was j once filled by a post or a detail of 1 landscape. -Strand Magazine.

I disagree entirely with tiie economic student and expert who can point with accuracy to recurrent panics at stated intervals in support of his theory that panics are bound to come periodically, and that prosperity is a special panic breeder. We used to have epidemics of | contagious diseases, but have stopped them by tiie applied science of medi cal skill. I believe we have readied a sufficient stage of development in the i commercial and industrial life of our country to be able to profit by past experience and apply such scientific j treatment, through legislative acts, as j to make impossible a recurrence of a panic produced by purely artificial causes. I am williug to admit that ! certain natural forces may combine to : cause a panic, but I am unwilling to I believe or admit that iu a country so highly advanced iu civilization and I economic science as we are now, or I should be, that it can be possible for ja cycle of panics and business depres ! siocs to come at stated intervals of j from five or ten or fifteen years of | their own volition. Elective Franchise Plank. Believing that the extension of the elective franchise to a race inferior in intelligence and without preparation for the wise and prudent exercise of a privilege so vital to the maintenance of good government was a mistake if not a crime committed by the llepub- Ilean party during the reign of passion and prejudice following the civil war for political ends and purposes, we de clare that the Democratic party is in favor of so amending the constitution as to preserve the purity of the ballot and the electorate of the state from the evil results from conferring such pow : c-r and privilege upon those who are unfitted to appreciate its importance, as it affects the stability and preserva ; 'ion of good government.
