AsipE from a few inconsequential re- marks concerning the Tariff and a gen- erality or two on Imperialism, which not one out of ten Democrats subscribe to, the Democratic party moves up to the Republican position of eight years ago. It is not likely that the American people will care to intrust the Govern- ment to a crowd so everlastingly slow at learning.—Johnstown Tribune. Tue mining situation has changed but little during the past week. A few men quit work, but more have been hired, and some of the quitters have since been around to resume work, but were told that their services were neither needed nor desired. There are lots of idle miners in the north of the county who are ready to come here and go to work whenever they are needed. The men at work are making the biggest wages ever made in this region. Last pay day Chas. Crossen’s account showed that he had made a few cents over $107 in two weeks. Many others made ‘between $90 and $100 during the same period, and all must admit that the amounts mention- ed are handsome wages for two weeks’ work. Times are getting better, and the strike is broken to stay broken. The mines are being run on a non- union basis, and the indications are that the union is knocked out for years to come in this region. The union has broken its own neck by the foolishness and crime of some of its members. eee lies Statistics as to the choice of occupa- tions by this year’s graduates from four of the leading educational insti- tutions of the United States—Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia—show a number of interesting facts. One is that most of the graduates know what they want to do and have already chosen occupations. Another is that there is no wholesale rush to the old professions—law, teaching, the ministry and medicine. The list of chosen oc- cupations includes: Business; civil, mining, and electrical engineering; banking, architecture, railroading, jour- nalism, chemistry, real estate, broker- age, the diplomatic service, art and music. The law has been chosen by 255 men in the four institutions ; teach- ing by 110; medicine by 49, and the ninistry by 28. Compared with these are: Business, 398; civil engineering, 48; banking, 32; mining engineering, 19; electrical engineering, 20; architet- ure, 15; railroading, 45; journalism, 15; and chemistry, 10.—Chicago Inter- Ocean. Pennsylvania the Keystone. Every child over three years knows that Pennsylvania is called the “Key- stone State,” but not every child under fifty knows why. We are told that the Pennsylvania delegation at the Demo- cratic convention has declared for Parker, which is supposed to cinch the Judge’s nomination. Inthe Continent- al Congress at Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, the vote adopting the Declaration of Independence was taken by States. Of the original thirteen, six voted in the affirmative and six in the negative, making a tie. Then, brethren, John DEBS DENOUNCES BRYAN. Colonel Bryan’s straddling course in this campaign promises to lose him the support, this time purely moral, of his old-time friends, the Socialists. Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist nominee for President. has given out a “statement” of his own. He says: “Labor has no more uncompromising enemy than Henry G. Davis, who charges union labor with being a crim- inal conspiracy. He is the very incar- nation of the old-time slave driver. As to Parker, he is merely the personal candidate of John D. Rockfeller. Six weeks ago William J. Bryan said no self-respecting Democrat could support Judge Parker, the tool of the trusts and of the money power. Mr. Bryan now is supporting him and by so doing is proclaiming himself a political de- generate.” Candidate Debs can see no good in Democracy of any kind this year. It was to be expected that he would see little in Parker and Davis, but his de- nunciation of the champion of “the common people” is as unexpected as it is severe.—Coannellsville Courier.

Chicago, July 11.—Tomorrow the Chi- cago Chronicle, established in 1895 as a Democratic organ, will appear as a Re- publican newspaper. The publisher, H. W. Seymour, said today: “The act of the St. Louis convention was cowardly. The platform was a quibble adopted because the conven- ‘tion was dominated by the Bryan silver element, and the others were afraid to put the candidate before the people on a sound money basis for fear they would lose the silver votes. The Chronicle is done with these cowards, and henceforth it will support the Re- publican party.” Asked about the political belief of the owner, John R. Walsh, Mr. Sey- mour said that he was “as good a Re- publican as anybody.” The Chronicle bolted Bryan in 1896 and supported Palmer and Buckner. At the eleventh hour in 1900 it gave half-hearted sup- port to the Democratic ticket, but fi- nally could not stand for it. It has given President Roosevelt and his administration some hard knocks. Mayor Harrison has never had its sup- port. CRE EE HATE. “Better a dinner of herbs where love isthan a stalled ox where hate abideth.” Hate is a vile and unreasonable thing. It is bred of and breeds envy, jealously and a brood of mad passions that warp the judgment of men and women and make them narrow, selfish and most unjust. Hate is sometimes born of just pro- vocation, but it is oftener the child of. silly, passoniate and unreasonable temper. Pride is often its godfather and sustains it in its harsher measures. Vanity is another sub-lieutenant that goads it to deeds which the human heart revolts and frequently regrets. The sacred books tell us that God is love. No higher conception of a Su- preme Being can appeal to the human heart. But the heart of man is filled with base passions. It is ruled by love only when it is purified. Purification sometimes comes with sanctification, but it oftener comes like pure gold out of the fires «© affliction. Have ye hate in your heart? Pluck it out! It makes your life bitter and poisons the lives of your neighbors. Let your soul scatter naught but sun- shine. The sunshine will reflect its radi- ance in your being and it will make the whole world feel brighter and bet- ter. "Tis but a dull old world at best. Let us have all the sunshine we can furnish. It costs so little; it means so much.—Connellsville Courier. - —e-—— PILES UPON TOP OF PILES. Piles upon top of piles of people have the piles, and DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve cures them. There are many different kinds of Piles, but if you get Morton, heading the Pennsylvania rep- resentatives, cast the deciding vote in | the affirmative. It was a closer call | than we like to admit in this genera- tion. Pennsylvania saved the day and | has ever since been styled the “Key- stone State.”—New York Press. i the genuine and original Witch Hazel Salve made by E. C. DeWitt & Co. of Chicago, a cure is certain. H. A. Tis- dale, of Summerton, S. C., says, “I had piles 20 years and DeWitt’s Salve cured me after everything else failed.” Sold by E. H. Miller. 8-1 BRYAN TO PARKER. The Commoner Office, 7-11, 1904. Dear Alton: I’m nit and you're it. You’ve down- ed me, but I don’t feel badly, for I’m used to being downed. First I was downed twice by the whole country, which is a pair of wallops about as big as can be handed to a man.. Then I was set down on by the Democratic party. I made the latter feel a good deal as if it had set down on a cactus crown or a porcupine, but it gritted its teeth and kept right on sitting. As soon as I got myself adjusted to the cramped position so that I could talk. I felt all right. That is a great cure- all with me—just to talk. Solong as I can keep my face running full time I’m strained. Now, after years of getting trained to the matter of defeat, I was wholly prepared for the body blow you landed on me at St. Louis. I am down and out at present, but I shall unhesi- tatingly challenge the winner of the heavyweight bout in November. I am going to talk for you all through the campaign, and if you can be elected in spite of that you’re a peach. I defeat- ed a mighty good man twice by talking for him through a whole campaign. Modesty forbids my mentioning the good man’s name, but history will bear me out—that is, it would if I were not already out. Knocked flat as I am, however, I cannot refrain from congratulating you on the way you did it. The most marvelous thing to me is how you man- aged to keep from talking for so long. To me, your feat out-Tanners Dr. Tan- ner in his forty days’ fast. A mere abstinence from food for forty days would be nothing to me if I were given a chance to talk, but to go right on eat- ing and drinking and thinking and reading and hearing and not talk— great Mackinac, Alton, you’re a won- der! Not a peep was there from Esopus until I thought T had you fixed with the New York Democrats. TI had actually got to thinking you were stricken dumb, and that you couldn’t talk. But as soon as I had played with Davy Hill (ther’s a chump, Alton, and you’d better cut him out) and elimi- nated that gold plank from the plat- form, up you spoke as chipper as a squirrel and as cleverly as if you had been talking all the while. It was, as the prize-fighters say, as neat a “hit in the breakaway” as was ever executed. As soon as I had expressed satisfaction with the ticket and the platform, you come on with a telegraphic dynamite cartridge that says unless you ae un- derstood to be on a gold standard plat- form, you want to be let out and have the delegates nominate someone else. That was where you got me, Alton, and you did it cleverly. I was helping the referee give you the count, and just when we had said “Eight,” up you sprang to your feet and handed me one in the solar plexus that put me into the midst of Dreamland. But it’s all right, old man. I’m beaten. I was toc much to the talkee-talkee and I thought you were too much of a dum- my. but I’m ready to acknowledge there's something in the policy of keep- ing one’s head shut for fear of drafts, though it is a policy I could never fol- low these days in succession without expleding. I fought you as hard as I could be- fore the nomination. I shall now be consistent and talk for you in public. That will fix you and render it entirely unnecessary for you to engage a mov- ing-van to take your square piano and plush chairs from Esopus to the White House. A steady flow of my speeches is a positive and unfailing preventive of presidential success. You would be defeated anyway, so I'll give you the satisfaction of having me to charge it up to. Yours Hopefully, W.J.B. a STREET R. R. CAN BE BUILT. But Meyersdale Citizens Will Have to Put Up Their Share of the Money to Build the Line. Mr. S. D. Livengood, the veteran banker and business man, has been spending the past ten days in this city, and while here he has been working to the end that the street railway may be built from Salisbury to Garrett, by the way of this place. He has interested Pittsburg capitalists in the matter, and they are willing to assume a share of the expense necessary to properly fi- nance the company, but they demand that people who will be directly bene- fited by the building of the line should come up with a share of the money. They submitted their proposition in writing to Mr. Livengood, and armed with this, and the statistics governing | the cost of equipping and running the | line, and with some figures showin | what the earning power of the road ne as a is S | ie ii fine as a fiddle. No misfortune troubles | couragement at this time, me so long as my vocal cords are unre- | would be, that gentleman has been so- liciting the sale of the bonds of the company in this vicinity. He has met with success at Salisbury and along the line, but Meyersdale people are not showing the proper spirit in the mat- ter, and unless they come to the front and help out the project in a proper fi- nancial manner, it will fall by the way- side. The building of the road and the run- ning of cars over it would prove of great commercial value, not only to the people in this part of the county, but to Meyersdale business men in particular. It reverts into a purely commercial proposition, the same as securing fae- tories for this city, and men of means should not be backward in the matter, but they should lend it the proper en- The prop- osition that the parties have made, and of which Mr. Livengood has a written copy, is a fair one, and is free from any- thing that savors of underhand work. It will bear the closest inspection, and we trust that our people will look at it in the proper light and subscribe liber- ally to the capital stock.—Meyersdale Republican.

If confidence and determination will bring success Somerset will yet be se- lected as one of the four sites to be utilized by the Government for con- ducting “maneuvers of the regular army, says the Standard. W. A. Scott of Pittsburg, who has been the chief promoter of the Somerset site, came here last Saturday and met a number of farmers, who renewed their options to him for the land wanted. He held options on about 30,000 acres, nearly all of which had expired. When the tract was offered to the Government last winter the offer was turned down by Congress and General Chaffee because the price asked was considerably in excess of what was asked for other sites. Since then the Somerset farm- ers have agreed to a reduction. Mr. Scott seems absolutely certain that the Somerset site will eventually be se- lected. When here last Saturday he renewed options on 13,500 acres of land. He expects to call on General Chaffee in the near future and renew the offer to him. If the General's re- plies are favorable Mr. Scott will re- turn to secure options on more of the land. EFFECT OF VACCINATION. “If there are in this city any parents who contemplate having their children vaccinated, I suggest as a precaution- ary measure that they first visit the home of Daniel O’Neiil, at No. 806 Ni- agara avenue, of this city, or communi- cate with Mrs. O’Neill, the mother of Marie O'Neill, a child of twelve years, who had always enjoyed the best of health until she went to live with an aunt in New York City, where she was vaccinated without the knowledge or consent of her parents, both of whom are healthy people. Shortly after hav- ing been subjected to the vaccine oper- ation, Marie’s health began to fail, run- ning sores broke out on her body, she became emaciated, anemic and debili- tated until she was a physical wreck and a chronic invalid. It is just three years since this little girl, then in the bloom of health, was subjected to vac- cine inoculation. I saw her last Friday at her home. She is thin, pallid and puny, presenting a striking contrast with her two sisters, who are hale and hearty, neither of the latter having ever been vacinated. On Marie's body I found three running sores of long standing, which are painful and require the daily attention of her mother. The condition of this little sufferer is most pitiable?”—Dr. J. W. Hodge in Cataract Journal, Niagara Falls. NO PITY SHOWN, “For years fate was after me contin- uously” writes F. A. Gulledge, Ver- bena, Ala. “I had a terrible case -of Piles causing 24 tumors.
