that in all probability that wo will not
.Hake In the very near future much
more than the minimum amount men

McKlnley act. The United States

tmakes a total of at least 340 boxes a
iday a small amount, to be sure, but
an earnest of what is to come.

It is time that tho American farmer
and every other consumer realized the
great economic truth, -that to provide
a cortain market for the competition of
home producers of the necessities of
daily life economizes the charges in
every branch of production and traffic
In those goods, from tho crude materials
to the retail counter at which he buys
them. It Is time that he realized that
home competition, as a rule, when
Insured the first chance at the homo
market, bestows all savings upon the
ultimate consumer in the shape of
cheaper prices for the goods. It is
time that he realized that the amount
of these savings in our country, due to
the effect of Protection alone, far ex
ceeds any, that could possibly be
realized from so-called' "fre'e yaw ma
terials," which we are eapabl of
economically producing"- in this

The Abduotion Case Settlod Tho

tho Mother Agreeing Not to
Moloat tho Boy.
Tho ca o of Mrs. Kllzabeth Cooper, who
was charged with abducting her sixyoar
old son, who had boen adopted by William
E. Phillips, from one of tho public school
rooms yesterday, has been settled.
Mrs. Cooper, after some persuasion and
argument, was convinced that sho would
havo to resort to some other method to ro
gain possession of tho boy.
Mr. Phillips told 'Squiro Williams tht
ho had no objection to rostoring tho child
to the tnothor, but ho wanted it dono in
legal manner. When bo was made the
guardian of tho boy tho Directors of the
Poor required bim to givo security for tho
faithful porformanco of bis trut and ho
insisted that tho mother should regain
possession through the Poor Directors.
Mrs. Cooper finally produced the child
and turned him over to Mr, Phillips, who
consented to n withdrawal of tho suit,
This morning Mr. Phillips sent tho boy to
school again, the mother having stipulated
not to inlorfero with him again until sho has
a right to do so through legal process.

B. J. SMITH,
Candldnto for Sheriff on tho Re
publican Ticket.
rrom Glrnrdvllle Gazette."
Tho nomination of B. J. Smith, our late
townsman, by tho Republican convention
for tho offlco of Sheriff, is woll bestowed
and highly satisf ictory to tho pooplo of
Glrardvillo and vicinity. As Mr. Smith
was a pan owner at ono tlmo In this paper
wo know him woll, and from what wo
know ourselves and from what wo 1irvi
learned from othors wo relate tho fallowing
incl lonts of his careor :
Mr. Smith was born in TmaqUR in 1818,
and was educated In tho public school.
Later he toak a buslnps courso In East
man's College, of Poughkeepslu, New
Yotk. John Smith, tho father of th
nominco, located in Glrardvillo In 1PG3,
At that early date 3on Smith, although but
a boy, was employed nt Garrctson and
Beatty's colliery as shipper and outside
timi'kccper, Bnd alo for a tlmo at tho
Glrard Mammoth colliery, Ravon Run,
Leaving tho mines ho afterwards clerked
for tho lalo Mr. William Haas, ho remained
with Mr. Unas until the store passed into
tho hands of Mr. John II. Davlos, in whoso
employ ho was still continued.
Mr. Smith early becamo active in local
public affairs, and during tho timo of tho
panic, when poople wore looking ovory
whero for a remody for tho distressed con
dition then existing, ho was elected a dele
gate to tho Anti-Monopoly Convention
held at Harrisburg to represent tho busi
ne3j men of Girardvillp.
Mr. Smith was appointed Justice of tbo
Poaco in 1875 by Governor Ilartranft, and
the following spring wai olected for a term
of five years. Sheriff Michaol Scanlan
who took his offlco in 1881, appointed Mr.
Smith as deputy. Tho position of Deputy
Sheriff has been held by Mr. ijmitb over
since: and sinco the death of Mr. Scanlan
ho has hold tho position under Sheriff'
MoUabo, Boyor, Duffy and Comroy.
Scanlan, McCabo and Comrey woro Re
publicans; Boyor and Duffy Democrats;
and no compliment from our pen can at
test to the fact of Mr. Smith's fitness for
Sheriff so well as tho fact that these Repub
lican and Democratic Sheriff's havo con
tinuously kept him lirtho Shoriff's office.
Tho poople of Girardvilte knew Mr.
Smith's sterling worth before ho loft us to
ro -vo to tho county seat; and his recognized
worth in Pottsville by judges, lawyors,
and the officials on tho hill only proves his
eminent fitness for tho position that ho was
unanimously nominated for.
Mr. Smith, when associated with us in
connection with this paper, exhibited a
pith and earnestness
articles that attracted
tendon. The articles
in many of h s
more than local at-
woro occasionally
repiiblihod by other ' county papors. Mr.
Smith when ho lft our town parted with
his interest in this paper.
The co-workers of Mr, Smith in reform
matters, political matters, and business
matters, with one accord speak woll of his
agreeahlo, firm, earnest, and conscientious
courso In dealing v. itti his fellow man.
This community can only do justlco to
tsolf by giving Mr. Smith such a voto as
will provo that we respect and honor our
citizons who live such hunost and unassum
ing lives as Ben Smith did whilo with us.

ALBERTSON'S STEALINGS.
Took Over n Million Hut Mostly
la
Securities, AVhluh Wcro Hoturnoil.
New Youk, Sep. 13. From letters re
ceived by bunkers in this city, it seems
that tbo loss to tbo Fidelity Trust Bank
nt Tacoma, Wash., by tbo defalcation ofn
Edward Albertson, tho secretary, was
much grentor than had been generally
supposed.
It was horetoforo believed that Albort
son lost some $9,000 only In speculation,
nnd surprise was caused by tho extraor
dinary efforts made to capture hlin. It
now appears he took $30,000 In cash nnd
nearly a million In tecurltles. Tin
securities, however, ho roturnod througt
an accomplice
Albertson was suspected of complicity
The thieves havo escaped
Moro Mall Suggestions.
It is suggostod that tho mail train known
as No. 1, loaving Philadelphia at 4:10 a. m.
and running only as far as Pottsville, havo
its route oxtendod to Wllliamsport, which
point it could reach at 12:01 p. m., making
connections at Mabanoy Plane for Shonan-
doah and tho mail would arrive hero at
9;B0 a. m., instead of lying at Pottsvillo
from 8:10 a. m. until 12:30 p. m. This
arrangement would bo advantagoous to a
territory over ono hundred miles in length
giving it the beuofit of a mail sorvico
covering such towns as Tamaqun, Mahanoy
City, Oilberton, Shonandoab, Girardvillo
Ashland. Shamokin. Sunbury and Wlll
iamsport, bosides a largo numbor of towns
with smaller populations. For the return
trip tho postal clerk could leavo on No. 10,
known as tho "Cannon Ball," leaving
Williamsport at 3:35 p. m., orrivingat
Philadelphia at 10 p. m. Tho mail service
between Philadelphia and tho coal and
lumbor regions is miserable in many ro
spects and radical changes cannot bo made
too soon, The authorities should make a
completo investigation and they will find
tbo affairs just as stalod. It is suggostod
that when Postmaster Colo, of Pottsvillo,
is making his inspection of tbo county
offices be givo this sorvico his attention.
