THE merchants of Lonaconing have organized a mutual protective associa- tion, the object of which is to protect themselves against people who run bills and fail to pay them. The mer- chants will keep each other posted on the deadbeats of the community, and all members of the association will have a correct list of those unworthy of credit, and all such will be required to pay cash. The Mutual Protective Association idea is a good one, and is becoming popular all over the country. The merchants of Salisbury should organize for the same purpose. QUITE a number of good fellows have already announced that they will be candidates for the Legislature, subject to the decision of the next: Republican primary election held in this county. Most of them have already pledged themselves to support a bill in favor of a two-cent-a-mile fare on all railroads in Pennsylvania, if elected, and also to support other legislation that there is a public clamor for. The thing that a good many level-headed voters regard as the most important legislation need- ed at this time, is the repeal of the present obnoxious, tyrannical and out- rageous vaccination law that this state is cursed with. Vote for no candidate who will not pledge himself to work for the repeal of the said lew, and at least leave the people free to use their own judgement in regard to having their children vaccinated. It would be better still to have a law passed mak- ing vaccination a crime punishable by a heavy fine and imprisonment. ae Mgrs. Cassie CHADWICK, who a couple of years ago made a business of wreck- ing banks and working rich men for large sums of money by means of cleverly planned confidence schemes, is now beginning to realize that the way of the transgressoris hard. She is safely behind the bars of the Ohio pen- itentiary, and she is being treated just as other prisoners are treated. A lot of fool sentimentalists have recently been sending pie and other good things to the penitentiary for her, but the warden of the prison says: “No pie for Cassie.” The warden is right in confining her to the regular peniten- tiary diet. It is all a mistake to feed prisoners on luxuries, and even those who from time to time get into our borough lockup are usually too well fed. Bread and water is as good a diet as any lockup inmate ever de- serves, and they shouldn’t be given an overdose even of that. Our prisons and lockups are in many cases made too attractive for criminals. “No pie for Cassie” has the proper ring to it, for she doesn’t deserve any pie. ELsEwHERE in this paper will be found an item concerning the threat- ened prosecution of two Berlin doctors. We know nothing about the case,hence have no judgement to pass on the same. However, we have this to say: No matter whether the man who threatens to bring suit has a good case or not, it is doubtful whether he would be able to bring proper punishment upon the doctors by ‘going into court, even if he should succeed in securing a conviction of the physicians. Many of our readers will be able to recall at least two cases where Somerset county doctors were tried and found guilty of the most revolting crimes, but did they ever have to suffer the penalties their crimes called for? No. In some com- munities they would have been taken out and lynched, but in Somerset coun- ty they were permitted to go free. In justice to the present Judge, however, we will say that the two cases referred to were not tried under his jurisdiction. But at best it is hard to secure deserv- ed punishment for a criminal doctor, and the only sure way to mete out justice in cases of the kind referred to, is for those who have been wronged, or some of their friends, to pump the criminal practitioners so full of lead that they could be sawed to pieces and used for clock weights.

We are making contracts day by day, usually unconscious of the fact. When I hail a street car and it stops for me, and I step.aboard, I enter into a con- tract with the corporation that owns and operates the car, for a breach of which I am liable in damages, as is the corporation. Every time I buy some- thing in a store, no matter whether it be a steam engine or a pin, I am mak- ing a contract. In hiring servants and agents, in renting and sub-letting, in buying provisions for my table, in buy- ing tickets for an entertainment—in fact, in almost every act that is not purely social in its nature, I am enter- ing into a contract. Indéed, business is but another name for the making and executing of contracts. The im- portance, therefore, of one’s knowing at least the general principles of con- tracts is evident. Some persons use the words “agree- ment” and “contract” as synonymous, that is, as meaning the same thing. A contract is always an agreement, either expressed or understood, but an agree- ment is not always a contract. I may make an agreement with you to spend the evening at your home, but that agreement ie not a contract. I am bound by the rules of etiquette and good morals to fulfill the agreement, but I am not bound by the law to ful- fill it, and in case I do not fulfill it, 1 am not bound by the law to suffer damages by reason of my failure; nor could you go into a court and compel me to fulfill it. Therefore, one distinction between a contract and an agreement is that the former is an agreement enforcible at law, that is, an agreement that the law will either compel me to perform, or will compel me to pay damages for failing to perform, while the latter is not so enforecible. Another distinction between an agreement and a contract is this: The law says that in a contract a man con- templates legal relations, that is, he intends to put himself under legal ubligations, and in an agreement he does not so intend, his purpose being merely to bind himself by a social obli- gation. We have nothing to do in these talks with merely social obliga- tions ; we treat only of such engage- ments or agreements as the law holds binding. We distinguish, too, between kinds of contracts; for instance, a contract may be express or it may be implied. An express contract is one where the terms are expressed or stated, either orally or in writing. An implied con- tract is one where the facts in conneec- tion with the matters are such that the law will infer certain things. If I go into a store where I have credit, take up an article, and say to the clerk, “I will take this. Charge it to me,” the contract is not an express contract; there is no price set, no time of pay- ment indicated, no promise of payment. The law, however, infers that I have made a promise to pay a reasonable price for the article in a reasonable or the customary time. We often hear it said that a contract is not good without a “consideration,” or that a contract must have a “con- sideration” to support it. The mean- ing of this is simply that a promise cannot be enforced in law unless some- thing is paid or promised to be paid for the promise, or unless the person to whom the promise is made has done something or suffered some loss by depending on the promise. If I promise to make you a present, and fail to do §0, you cannot hold me in law account- able for breaking my promise, no mat- ter how much inconvenience or unhap- piness it may cause you. If, however, I promise to do something for you or give you something in consideration of your paying me something, no matter how small, or doing something for me, or suffering some loss, I can be held to the promise. It is in this sense that the law requires that in order for promise to be binding, it must have a consideration—another word for price. It used to be said that whenever a promise was under seal, that is, where it was in writing and the promisor at- tached to his name his seal, the law would forbid the promisor from deny- ing that there was a consideration. In other words, the fact that a seal ap- peared on the promise was evidence conclusive that there was a considera- tion received, and in a suit at law to compel the performance of the promise, the promisor could not bring in evi- dence to the effect that he had received nothing for the promise, and therefore was not bound by it. Our present law, however, has almost wholly done away with this fiction. Now the considera- tion of a promise may be inquired inte, whether it be under seal or not. It must not be thought that in ordex- to support a promise the other pariy- must necessarily give something or: promise to give something. If he is t®- loge or suffer something, or promises to give up something, the consideration is - a valid one. If I promise to give yous hundred dollars if you stop smoking for six months, and, depending upon my promise, you do stop smoking for - six months, I am bound to pay the one hundred dollars. In this case you have not given anything or promised te- give anything to me, but you have suf- fered a loss, or have given up some-- thing, depending upon the promise. . It has always been held that a promise - is a good consideration for a promise,. that is, my promise to do something: for you, if given in exchange for =a: promise by you todo something for me, . makes a valid contract. The most common example of this sort of a con— tract is the marriage contract, under- which each party promises, and the: promise of each is a consideration for. the promise of the other. SOCIALISM. The Connellsville Courier voices this: paper’s sentiments exactly in the fol- lowing: “Theoretically, Socialism is a prim-- rose path, but in practise it is a thorny - thoroughfare. ‘All men are created: free and equal’ is one of the basic doe-- trines of our free government, but all men do not remain equal, nor evem free in the fullest sense of the term. Socialism would bring all men down to a dead level, paralyze industry, de- stroy competition and eliminate prog- ress. The agitators of disorder and: division of wealth are forever blaming the rich for the condition of the poorer - classes of society, yet the remedy they propose is infinitely more unjust thao- the conditions they complain of. These- conditions, it must be admitted, are - often deplorable, and the rich are fre- quently in a contributory sense re- sponsible for them. . But the Socialistic theory proposes - to make the industrious and intelligent portion of the community support the- idle and ignorant classes. In the lan- guage of the Corn Law Rhymer, the- Socialist is ‘One who hath yearnings for an equal division of unequal earn— ings.’ There is more justice and prosperity and happiness in a multitude of Octo- puses than in wild-eyed, anarchical cat- aclystic Socialism, and the honest,. hard-working and thrifty laboring mam - who knows his own interest will shrink. from it as from a pestilence.” OPPORTUNITY. We hear a great deal about oppor tunity knocking at a man’s door. Op- portunity is discussed as some mys— terious chance, offered by some mys- terious force, under mysterious cir- cumstances. . The cold truth about op- portunity is that it is offered to only = few persons out of every hundred, and they get it only by hustling for it. Im: ninety per cent. of cases the opportu- nities of the individuals are controlled by others who are very much human. Look around you and see if it is not true. Opportunities do not come to anybody who waits. There are only = dozen really choice years in a man’s life. They begin when he is just over- the line of thirty years. Before that time he should begin looking for his opportunity. He may have to search a long time, but he will find it. Advice is not of much value to = man under these circumstances. In- vestigation is the thing. After a mam has spent several years in investigation, he is likely to know himself and his op- portunities. Those who leave their op- - portunities in the hands of others, find: after it is too late that the opportuni- ties have been pigeon-holed. Few mem: who really try to better their condition fail to do so. Energy and persisteney can accomplish anything. In this life- there is too much of the phantom eall- ed expectancy. Opportunity must be - created by the individual. He should’ make his choice, and get to work on 3% before it is too late.—Sabetha (Kan.p Herald. THE RIGHT IDEA. One would think the Laxatiye ides in a cough syrup should have been ad- vanced long before it was. It seems the only rational remedy for Coughs and Colds would be to move the bowels and clean the mucous membranes of the throat and lungs at the same time. Kennedy’s Laxative Honey and Tax: does this. It is the Original Laxative Cough Syrup, the best known remedy for Coughs, Colds, Croup, Whooping Cough, ete. Tastes good and harmless... Sold by E. H.
