Tet us gird ourselves for battle— But I hope we cannot win— Let us pray to be successful, Though success would be a ein; Let us give the people’s banner Unto him to nobly bear.

Many of our older citizens remember the old “Know Nothing” party which flourished fifty years ago, and some of the younger people have often heard that party spoken of, yet knowing but little of its principles. For the infor- mation of the curious we append the following, which appeared in the Johns- town Tribune about fifty years ago: We have on our table the second number of The Know Nothing and American Crusader, an organ of the new party, published at Boston. It comes out flat-footed in favor of the Know Nothing principles, and in op- position to Ireland and the Pope. In the center of the title is a design rep- resenting a young American trampling, upon a miter, and, with an open Bible in one hand, pointing to a bright par- ticular star in the firmament above him. Underneath is the motto: “Ged and Our Country! Deeds, Not Words!” We append the Know Nothing plat- form as we find it heralded to the world in the paper before us. The new or- ganization is determined not to hide its light under a bushel: AMERICAN PLATFORM. 1. Repeal of all naturalization laws. 92. None but native Americans for office. 3. A pure American common school system. 4. Opposition, first and last, to the formation of military companies com- posed of foreigners. 5. War to the hilt on Romanism. 6 The advocacy of a sound, healthy, and safe nationality. 7. Hostility to all Papal influence, in whatever form, and under whatever name. 8. American institutions and Amer- ican sentiments 9. More stringent and effective emi- gration laws. 10. The amplest potection to Prot- estant interests. 11. The doctrines of the revered Washington and his compatriots. 12. The sending back of all foreign paupers landed on our shores. 13. The formation of socisties to protect all American interests. 14. Eternal enmity to all who at- tempt to carry out the principles of a foreign church or state. 15 Our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country. 16. And, finally, American laws and American legislation ; and death to all foreign influence, whether in high places or low. di Wii Not so Sure About it. Yesterday Robert Earson was held to the sum of $200 by Justice Humbird to await the action of the grand jury for stealing chickens from the coop of Thomas Small, at Lindnerville. Chick- en thieves have been too numerous to mention in and around this city. There is an effective cure. One good dose cures one thief. You can get it at any hardware store. Don’t shake it. Just hold it level and pour it in. It gripes and pains, but will not physic. No cure, no chickens.—Cumberland Cour- ier. The Courier is wrong in saying “No cure, no chickens,” for if the thief gets the cure it is then that he will not carry away any chickens. Besides, we are not so sure that the cure will not physic. We have heard of instances that it did that very thing. ea The Countersign. “Petroff |” “Yes, Lieutenant.” “The countersign for to-night is Alexandrovitchykopfostovsk yd rag o- vitch.

Young Man Finally Gained Consent of Stern Parent. The young man invaded the old gen- tleman’s office briskly. “Mr. Ballings,” he come—" “Oh, I can guess what you’ve come for,” broke in the old gentleman warm- ly said, “I have “That’s good,” said the young man. “It saves time. I was never much on the rigmarole speeches about trying to give her a happy home and all that. T’ll do it, of course, to the best of my ability, but I'm more of a business man when it comes to talking with men. Do I get her?” “As a business man, sir, I will give you a direct reply: You do not.” “That’s what I expected you to say,” remarked the young man. “Then why did you come to me?” de- manded the old gentleman. “Well, I thought we might talk it over as business men and get together —figuratively speaking, of course. When it comes to getting together in reality, I prefer your daughter to you every time, and I’m not saying any- thing against you at that.” “There’s nothing to talk over, sir,” insisted the old gentleman. “You have my answer.” “Then you must take the conse- quences,” said the young man. “Do you mean to threaten an elope- ment?” “Certainly not. But I suppose you know that I’m an oculist.” “What has that to do with it?” “I’ve been looking into your daugh- ter’s eyes on an average of three nights a week for nine months.” The old gentleman grew pale. “Lovers are proverbially reckless in the matter of eye examination,™ the youth went on. “Of course, if I am ac- cepted as a lover I can make no charge ; if not—well, sir, other people pay me good fees for doing that, and I don’t see why you shouldn’t. I can get $5 for a five-minute examination in some cases, but. even allowing ten or fifteen minutes, I can run up a pretty good bill in an evening.” “I never engaged you, sir,” protested the old gentleman. “But your daughter did,” returned the youth, calmly, “and she is prepared to pay with herself, and if you inter- fere with that payment,of course you’ll have to assume the bills. But T give you fair warning of one thing.” “What is that?” asked the old gen- tleman, weakly. “I'll take her in payment, but I won’t tnke you—not in a thousand years. With you it’s cash at the top rate.” The old gentleman—well, what else could he do when he had a chance to get such a son-in-law?—Ex. WEAK HEARTS are caused by indigestion. If you ent a little too much, or if you are subject to attacks of indigestion, the stomach expands—swells, and puffs up again-t the heart. This crowds the heart and shortens the breath.

They are rainbow chasers. The Democratic party is worse disor- ganized and divided to-day thanit ever was. Those who fondly dream of vic- tory base their hopes upon the allega- tion that Wall street is for Parker and against Roosevelt. If this were liter- ally true it would forever dam and de- feat Parker; but it is true only in a limited sense. There are some Wall street Democrats, men of wealth, too, who are for Parker because he is a Sound Money man. These same people opposed Bryan for the reason that he was a financial anarchist. Parker will have the support of the Gold Democrats and of the political eunuchs who vote the Democratic ticket regardless of men or principles, just as Bryan had their support together with the support of the conscientious Free Silver Democrats in 1896 and 1900. It is conceded that the Free Silver luna- tics far outnumber the “sane” members of the Democratic party, so that Parker’s chances are even e¢orse than Bryan’s ever were. And Bryan and the Bryanites are not sorry, says the Connellsville Courier. NO PITY SHOWN. “For years fate was after me contin- uously” writes F. A.

West Virginia Coal Operators Form Combination to Resist U. M. W. The Charleston Daily Gazette, of Charleston, W. Va. of July 8, 1904, published the following: The coal operators in the Kanawha Coal District of W. Va., on the Chesa- peak & Ohio and Kanawha & Michigan railroads, have entered into a combina- tion to check unreasonable demands made from time to time by the United Mine Workers of America. Already sixty-seven have signed the agreement, and about thirty others are expected to join within the next two or three days. The combination isthe strongest ever known in the Kanawha Valley, and is backed by considerable money. The fighting fund will be raised by an assessment of $10 upon each mine, together with a certain percentage each month on the tonnage of each mine.. It is through this last method, however, that most of the money will be obtained. There will be no attempt, it is said, to take the initiative in the fight which will come, but the mine operators will stand their ground against any aggres- sive policy of the union. One of the biggest operators said | yesterday that this combination was the natural outgrowth of the labor trouble in the Kanawha district. The union being strong and the operators without organization, the miners for the past five or six months have had things all their own way, whether backed by the union or not. From now on there will be a change in the Kan- awha fields. 1f the United Mine Work- ers make it necessary, it ix said every mine in the district will be closed in- definitely. No immediate trouble, however, is expected. In April last an agreement between the operators and miners was reached, which, if adhered to, will post- pone trouble at least until 1908. There has been some friction on some of the creeks along the Kanawha River, but much of it has not the sanction of the union leaders. The combination, however, may go after the lobor agitator that keeps the men who want to work in a state of constant unrest. It is expressly stated that the association will not fix prices. The New River operators are not in the combine, believing they are able to protect their own interests. 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 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 De Witt’s Salve cared me afier everything else failed.” Sold by E. H. Miller. 8-1 THE SUN OF PROSPERITY. The preparations being made by the United States Steel Corporation for the erection of three more large coke plants in the Lower Connellsville re- gion i= only another proof of the fact that the sun of prosperity, momentarily obscured by the clouds of overproduc- tion, over-speculation and Presidential politics, is rapidly emerging intoaclear sky; and that the astronomers of fi- nance and industry, having calculated the eclipse, are getting ready to “make hay” during the long and shining day of harvest. The Full Dinner Pail, which the Democratic organs speak of often and derisively, has never been empty, nor approaching it. Wages generally have remained liberal in spite of trade de- pression. In the Connellsville coke re- gion and in the mills and factories of Western Pennsylvania, wages continue high enough, in spite of a general re- duction, to enable any industrious workingman to earn a good living and to lay up something for the future. The Democrats invite the owners of full dinner pails to vote for Tariff “re- vision,” which is another name for Tariff reduction by Free Trade tinker- ers, the same kind of tinkering that al- ways shuts down the mines and oveus, closes up the mills and factories and empties the full dinner pail. There is only one industry that thrived under Democratic tariff revis- ion, namely, the soup houses.—Con- nellsville Courier. Don’t Know What Preachers are Intended for. A certain preacher of this city has been camping out along the Williams road, near Mt. Hermon. The farmers are complaining about their chickens being missing. Nuf sed—too much!— Cumberland Courier.
