Wiiiui some people from necessity are re
turning to their homes from their seashore
mid rural outings, thcro are many others who
arc packing their trunks and leaving the
town for the purposo of enjoying tho more
.seasonable temperature which they con
fidently nnticlpato will prevail In September
and October.
Tin: country in this vicinity still maintains
its Juno liko appearance. Tho leaves, the
pasturo fields and the fuliago of tho trees do
not givo tho slightest evidence of thoappioach
of autumn, so that while the month of
August thus far lias been exceptionally hot,
the frequently recurring copious showers
have sustained vegetation In an unusual
degree.
Aisotrr this time last year wo had what was
called a water fainuic." Miciiaudoah was
one of tho more fortunate towns in tho coal
legion, but many of them suffered for tho
want of tho preciuus fluid. Consumers of
water were appealed to to bo economical in
I lie use of tho fluid. Pavement washing was
discouraged, and in many other ways the
water authorities counselled moderation in
tho uso of it. lint this year wo have thus far
huaid no such cautions or K'lucsts. The
reservoirs aro said to he well filled, whilo the
htreaius furnish a supply more than equal to
the demand.
, Jin. Mimmh, of Tennessee, late I'opulM
i numitico for Governor and one of tho leaders
"in the St. Louis Convention, thus speaks of
. llio 1'imiilUt linmlm-n: "As to Mr. ltrvnn.
yfr-the Democrats had stolen our man, hut wo
stole him back ; they also stole our platfouu,
' but we htolo it back, too. We were perfectly
3 fvitisficd witli the nomination of Mr. Hryan.

' n greVnh.tckcr, out and out. Ho favors gov

that he will not accept our nomination
speak out for our platform. Wo know wlieio
lie stands, and aro satisfied to have him ie
main sileut. This would keep down pre
judice." A casi) of the preservation of the diph
tlierctic germs for over tlileo years, in
lied lounge, is rotated by tho Pittsburg
Dispatch. Tho fact that these genus will
live Indefinitely in clothing and caipets
without losing their infectious quality liaj
long been known to physicians. It is for
tills reason that all cases of Bticli con
tagious diseases should bo isolated in city
hopitals for the purpose. Hut pending
necessary legislation and provisions for
such isolation, careful disinfection of all
premises where such diseases hao bien,
under supervision of a physician or other
competent person, will do much to pro
sent tho spread of the disease. Hunting
small quantities of sulphur in tho sick
room at intervals is a good measuro to pre
vent lodgement of germs in tho furnishings
and will he sanctioned by most physicians as
an aid to treatment of tho patient.
BRYAN ANSWERED.
Tho address of Hon. Hourko Cochran, the
eloquent Democratic orator, delivered last
night in New York, in answer to tho chal
lenge of Candidate Hryan and his followers,
was u clear nnd concise presentation of tho
subject thnt is just now occupyiug tho at
tention of thogicat majority of tho American
citizens. Sir. Cockran is a Democrat and
spoko from tho standpoint of ouu who places
country beforo party. Unlike the Popocrat
candidate for President, Sir. Cockran confined
himself to facts and figures, and his riasou
lug and analysis of the subject laid bare tho
sophistry of Hryan.
There can bo little doubt of tho effect or
Sir. Cockran's able presentation of the
ubject. Ho Bpoaks as a Democrat who has
Teprosented his tarty in Cougresa and has
always been numbered among tho loaders of
tho Democracy, not only in tho Umpire state,
but tho nation as well. His speech is a
summons to every patriot, whether ho lo
Democrat or Itepublican, Populist orSllvcrito,
to lay asido his political preferences and
prejudices and rally tu tho defense of his
couutry's honur. It is ft fit companion to that
excellent proscntatlon by Senator Hhermau,
and tho two will provo valuablo campaign
literature for tho causo of sound money.
Tho meeting in Now York last night was a
Dumocratlo gathering, und the great out
pourlug of.inou of that faith, who repudiate
tho doctrines set forth In tho platform of tho
so-called Democratic convention held nt
Chicago, shows conclusively that tho state of
New York will givo a largo majority for
McKlnloy and llobart.
Sir. Cockran points out tho duty of every
honest Democrat ' in these iwtriotlc and
manly words t
"it is a question as to whether the power
of this got eminent shall be used to protect
honest Industry, (in this question huiiost
men cannot (Hirer. It la one of murals and
of Justice. It imt'ltca tho oxlstcnco of social
order. It Is tho contost for civilization itself.
If it ho disheartening to Democrats and to
lovers of free institutions to find an issuo of
this character projected Into n presidential
campaign It must furnish us with an ltisplr
Inn truth of how that Issue will he met by
the people. A Democratic convention may
renounce the Democratic faith, hut tho Democ
racy remains faithful to Democratic princi
ples. Democratic leaders may betray a con
vention to become l'opulist, hut cannot
seduco tho footsteps of Democratic voters
from tho pathway of honor and of justice.
"A candidate bearing the mandate of a
Democratic convention may this fall open a
canvass levelled at the foundation of social
order and lie beholds tho Democratic masses
confronting him organizing for tho defense
fellow Democrats, let us not disguise from
ourselves tho fact tliAt we hoar in the contest
n serious and gr.ivo and solemn burden of
duty. Wo milst ralso our hands against the
nominee- of our party and wo must do It to
preserve the future of that party itself; we
must opposo tho nominee of tho Chicago con
vention, and we know full well that tho
success of our opposition will mean our ex
clusion from public life, but wo will bo con
soled and gratified by the rellcction; it will
prove that the American people cannot bo
Hvidcd Into parties on a question of simplu
morals or of common honesty."

POTTSVILLE LETTER.
Tho Itoroitgh 'Squires l'llo Their Answers,

PoTTSVatE, August 10.
John J. Cnrdln and Slartln J, Lawlor, both
of Shenandoah, and Jonathan L. Jones and
Philip i:. Coylo, of Slahanoy City, this morn
ing filed their answers to the petitions pre
sented to contest their elections as Justices of
tho Peace in the lioroughs named, at the
February election. They all claim they wore
legally elected j wero not surreptitiously or
fraudulently elected, and further that under
the law the two lioroughs named aro entitled
to but two Justices of tlio Peace each. Tho
respondents, therefore, all pray that tho
petitions of tho contestants may bo dismissed
and proper costs bo allowed the respondent.
Hon. John J. Coylo, of Slahanoy City, nlso
hied his answer to tho rule to quash tho in
dictment found against John W. Parker, of
tho Slahanoy City Itecord, charging libel.
Sir. Coylo says in his answer that whilo
Parker agreed to retract tho matter charged
in tho indictment, and that ho did so, ho in a
subsequent issue of his paper, beforo tho caso
was withdrawn, in substance reiterated tho
libel. Ho, therefore, prays court to overrulo
tho motion to quash tho indictment.
Tho Lyon-Dunn judicial contest continued
to-day. Sir. Schalck submitted a lengthy
written objection to tho onlcr of court with
referenco to tho admission of supplemental
hills of particulars. Tho oltfoction, however,
was overruled. Sir. Schalck's proposition
that tho timo of taking testimony bo limited
to 30 or 00 days, was objected to by Sir,
lireckons as being unfair. On this question
no ruling was made. James Pritcliard,
Judgo of Election of tho Fourth ward of
Ashland, will rcccivo un order requesting his
prcseuco and that of a ballot box and con
tents in his possession. 'Squiro O'Hricn, of
Slahanoy City, who was severely cross-ox-
amincd as to his knowlcdgo of two ballot
boxes, proved an unswerving witness. Tho
endeavor to have Nicholas Iironnmillcr
testify as to other statements mado by Sir,
O'Hricn proved futile, tho court sustaining
objections to his testimony. An order for tho
opening of tho ballot box of tho First ward
of Slahanoy City was granted by court on
movement of Sir. lireckons and after soruo
opposition. Only tho ballot check list was
removed, to be placed in tho Prothonotary's
ollicc. Tho list from tho First ward of
Pottsvillo- was similarly treated, as wero
many others in different parts of tho county.
Tho entire morning and afternoon sessions
were occupied on this line, and little of In
terest was brought out.

Ho Is n candidate who wns swept Into
tho nomination by a wuvo of popular on
thuslnsm nwnkcni'd liynppouls to preju
dice and greed. Ho Is a candidate who,
declaring that this was a revolutionary
movement, no sooner found himself face
to face with the imerlcan feeling than ho
realized tha' this soil Is not propitious to
revolution ; that tho people of this country
will not chnngo tho Instltntlons which
havo stood tho tests and oxperlcncos of a
century for Institutions based upon tho
fiiiitnstio dreams of Populist agitators;
that tho American untlon will never con

ington, of Jefferson und of Jackson tho
republic of nn Altgcld, n Tillman or a
llryan.
'Whatever chnngo mnr havo como over
his manner usn candidate, howovcr much
tho vehemence of his oloquouco may havo
been reduced, two things for which ho
sfctnds remain unaltered. On this plat
form ho defonded tho most revolutionary
plnnk of tho Chicago convention In
speeches vehement but not less earnest
than that in which ho supported their
adoption. On this platform ho dofonded
tho I'opullstlo program of overthrowing
tho Integrity of tho supreme court. If
thero Iw any fruit which hns grown for tho
benefit of all mankind out of tho estab
lishment of our republic, It has been tho
demonstration that It Is possible by tho
organization of an Independent tribunal
to safeguard tho rights of every citizen and
protect those natural privileges against
any invasion from whatever source or
however powerful mlirhtbothe antagoniz
ing elements.
Tim Insult to the Supreme Court.
Tho very existence of thnt power pre
supposes tho existence of nn Independent
tribunal, yet wo liavo this l'opulist con
vention, becauso a l'opulist measure was
condemned as unconstitutional, propos
ing, not to nmond tho constitution In the
ordinary way prescribed by thnt instru
ment ltfolf, but proposing to pack tho
court so that It will pronounce thoso laws
to be constitutional which tho constitu
tion itself condomsn, a proposal to mnko
tho courts of law Instruments of lawless
ness ; to violate that sacred compact be
tween tho states on which tho security of
this nation rests: to nrofauo tho templo

It will bo appointed to dostroy It.
"I am a little puzzled to decide just
what Sir. Hryan himself imagines will bo
tho fruit of a change In tho standard of
aluu throughout this country. If Sir.
liryan could show mo that by nny moans
wnges will bo increased I will bo ready to
support him, lx-causo I know of no test of
prosperity absolutely lnfalliblo except tho
rate of wages paid to laborers. No man
can tell how or where or when tho wages
of tho worklngmcn nro to bo Increased,
but anyone who examines tho scheme can
boo that tho inevitable tendency, tho In
evitable consequence of a debasement In
he standard of valuo must bo u reduction
in tho rate of wages, and that Is tho Con
spiracy in which tho Populists Is engaged.
Sir. Hryan tells us that ho wants to
cheapen the dollar; thnt ho wants to In
crease tho volume of money. I do not be
lieve that any mnn who over lived could
quite understand a 1'opullst's notion of
what money is, further than that ho be
lieves It Is a desirable thing to got, nnd
that lie Is not very particular about the
means by which he can get his hands on it.
Nothing Is more common than the
mlstnko that money and property aro
Identical. They are not. There rnny 1)0-
u very largo volumo of circulating medium
and very great poverty. 'The issue of paper
money simply Is uo more nn Increase of
wealth than tho lssuo by an Individual ot
his promissory noto would show an In
crease In property, but may lie a strong
proof of a decreaso In wealth. It Is not
the volume of mo. ey, but tho activity of
money that counts.
The lUsIs of Sound Trade.
"Thobaslsof sound tradp Is sound money,
money which is Intrinsically valuable.
Money like tho gold colnngo of this coun
try, the government cannot affect If It
tried to. I can take a ten dollar gold pleco
und I can defy all tho power of all tho gov
ernments of this earth to take llvo cents of
value from It. Having earned It by the
sweat of my brow, having earnod Itby the
exercise of my brain, having earned It by
thooxcluiugu of my commodities, 1 can
go to tho uttermost ends of tho earth, nnd
wherever 1 present It Its value W11L in un
questioned and unchallenged. Tho gold
dollar, this meeting, tho Democratlo party,
tho honest masses of this country, wl thou
distinction of party divisions, demand
shall bo iinld to tho laborer when ho earns
it, and that no power on earth shulL cheat
him of the sweat of his brow.
"It Is perfectly clear that tho purposo of
tho l'opulist Is to put up tho prices of cer
tain commodities. Sir. Hryan's language is
thnt ho is going to Improve tho conditions
of tho pooplo of this country. I do not
suppose ho claims ho cun multiply tho
number of chairs upon this platform or
upon this lloor, although ho has shown
his capacity to empty them. If ho Is going
to work any change In tho conditions of
men ho must lncreuseitho material posses
sion of some part of tho community. Now
If ho got possession ot tno government to
morrow ho would not create ono slnglo
thing of vulue by nny oxerclsu of govern
mental powor In tho world. No powor
yet exercised by tyrant or by constitu
tional monarch can causo a barren field
to become fruitful,
"A government novor can Ijo generous,
because if It be generous to ono It must bo
oppressive to another. Hut his financial
schemo contemplates nn Increase In tho
price of cortnln commodities. Vo are coin

The I'arm Mortgage Argument.
"Tho pretenso that the furmcr of Ne
braska Is suffering under tho mortgage
contracted under a motal which has
stoadlly Increased in valuo is but a Popu
llstlo motaphor- Two-thirds of tho farmors
have no mortgage debts whntovor, I do
not believe therels' per Con of them that
owo n mortgage over three years' old,
miring wmen tlmo there has boon no
chnngo In the valuo of the metal. This
proposnl of the Populists Is nn Intent to
enlist tho fnrmcT In a conspiracy to reduco
tno wnges pnut tins laborer thnt ho may
havo a larger proportion of his own pro
ducts, and' they aro willing to cut down
tho wnges of ovory man who works in tho
city, every man who tolls at the bench,
who mnnnges tho train, in the hope that
they can rldo Into iiwwer on a wave of
cupidity nnd greed awakened In tho breast
of the voter.
"My friends, thero ho been a great
chango In tho Democratic organization of
tho southern states. A new set has got
Into tho saddle, a set of lenders of which
Tlllmnn Is tho exponent, who boldly un
furled tho sectional flag at Chicago, nnd
ileclnrcd thnt this Populist movement is a
direct movemont against tho prosperity of
the east Slen of New York, tollers of
America, guardians of homes, will you al
low rates of wages to bo affected by nny
man who never hns paid wages nt all If ho
could get out of It? Will you submit to
this conspiracy between tho professlonnl
farmers, tho fanners who cultivate the
quarrels of their neighbors, farmers who
lnlior with their jaws, Populist ugltators
of tho west und tho unrecognized slave
holders of tho south? This Is a conspiracy
between professional fnrmers who want
to pay low wagos and tho unreconciled
slaveholder who would liko to pay nc
wages at.nll.
o bcllovethnt tho very osfcncoof civ
ilization is mutual Interest, mu'-tnl for
lioaranco, mutual co-opcratlon. Wo 1)0-
novo tno world has got past tho time
when men's handa nro at each other's
thronts. We boliovo todny thnt men stand
shoulder to shoulder, working together
for a common purposo bonollclnl to all,
and wo bellovo that this attempt to assail
wages, which means nn attempt to atuncK
tho prosperity of alL, will bo resisted, not
by a class, but by tho wholo nation. Whnt
labor hns gained, that shall it keep. Tho
rato of wagos that Is paid to It todny Is
tho lowest rato wo will ever willingly ac
cept. Wo look forward to a farther and
further lncrenso In tho prosperity of work
lngmcn, not merely by an increaso In tho

Tho people havo long since learned that
the most disagreeablo medicines arc not nec
essarily the best. In fact, us a rule, they aro
not. What is wanted is something 'mild and

and Diarrhoea Remedy. That is really
pleasant to tako when reduced witli water
and sweetened. Then it I acknowledged
overywhero to be tho most successful remedy
In the world for bowel complaints. Ask auy
number of druggists for the best remedy
they havo for diarrhoea and fully nine out of
ten will recommend Chamberlain's. In
speaking of this medicine. Sir. II. 11. Huffum
of Frieudsvillc, Susquehanna Co., Pa., says:
"Wo havo used it in our family for pain in
tho stomach, colic and diarrhoea and found
it to bo a most cffeetlvo remedy." For salo
