ARC THEY SHIELDED t
The number of robberies committed in
Shenandoah within the past liinnth nr two
has caused tho business men and others much
uneasiness, and lias led to the emihi. mi nt of
a special watchman, in citizens clothes, to
pal ioI certain portions of tho town in the
interest of thoie who employ lilm. Theso
robberies are not confined to Shenandoah.
Reports from other sections of the region,
notably Mahanoy City and Shamokiu, (how
they are infested with this tramp nuisance. At
th" hater place last week five of the principal
I ns n places on the main thoroughfare of
the town wcie robbed on the same night,
while in 01 i adjacent borough, Mahanoy
City, the bm-inuss people employed a special
watchman to protect them froin thee
despemte cliaracters.
It is the officer in cltizons clothes that the
average burglar dreads the most, It Is an
easy matter for them to avoid a uniformed
policeman, no matter how attentive to duty
they may lie. Hence it is a precautionary
move on the part of the business men well
directed.
The arrest of two tramps Tuesday night
by the police and placed in the lockup, and
th ir subsequent statements, probably throws
some light upon tho recent lobberies, and
raises a question that is pertinent ut this
time. This statement is to tho effect that
most of the roliberiee committed is the work
of burglars residing In the town', who tiro
the tramps as a Mind. Some color is given
to this statement by the naturo of at least
two of the robbetios. Tho robbers bad a
knowledge of tho surroundings andalnterior
of the houses they entered.
There is another phase of the question, anil
an important one to the people of Shenan
doah. It is charged that even when the
entity parties are arrested, it is almost
impossible to secure a conviction. Men of
prominence come forward and use their good
graces in behalf of the accused. Hail is
furnished, and influences brought to bear in
certain quarters that greatly retards the
efforts of tho officers to break up the gangs of
midnight marauders that infest Shenan
doah and other localities.
Under the- circumstances, if tho guilty
parties are shielded, the lives of the residents
of the town are not safe, to say nothing o!
the destruction of proporty.
Senator IIill says the Democratic party
must hiBist on "a complete separation from
Populism," but he missed tho opportunity of
his life by failing to enlarge on this idea
during tho last campaign.
Now it is Controller Ii. R. Severn who is
tho subjoot of the malignors' onnvity. The
''ontroller can stand abuts from that quarter,
if his uialiguers can. Rut there is a limit
beyond which a man, oven though he bo In
"live politics, should not be subjected to the
moan slanders, especially coming from those
who are far below tho parties attack in every
respect morally as well as Intellectually.
Some one who has taken tho trouble to
ascertain the political complexion of all the
Legislatures of the forty-five states finds that
there is a grand total of 3103 Republicans,
2209 Democrats, 520 Populists and 211 Fusion
ists, a clear Republican majority of 550. In
the Legislatures of twelve Southern states
there are 1380 Democrats, 307 Republicans
and 201 Populists, which exhibit will bo an
unpleasant surprise to the Populists whohavo
supposed that they were making muoh pro-
"ss in tho South.
The criticism of the IICrald on tho bill
introduced in tho Legislature creating the
office of detection for Schuylkill county, has
met with much favor at tho hands of tho
people as well as tho press. Wo havo as yet
failed to notice a singlo newspaper that has
said one word in favor of the creation of
this useless office. Upon this subject the
Uazleton Standard says: "Tho press of
Schuylkill county is bitterly opposed to the
passage of Representative Griffiths' bill to
creato the office of County Detective in
counties having over 150,000 population. And
why should they not bo? Let them take
warning from the experience of Luzerne. If
any of Luzerne's Representatives desire to
become famous let them introduce a measure
to abolish the oflloe of County Detective in
Luzerne. If continued it is simply throwing
away a few thousand dollars annually."
If, as stated, the bill to create the office of
county detective was introduced in the
Senate by Senator Losch, an explanation as
to why he did so is in order from that gentle
man. It is In the nature of things that Repre
sentative Griffiths, of this district, should
seek to repay the services of his friends, by
creating a comfortable office for one of them
at the expense of the taxpayers for services
rendered in the last campaign, but that Sen
ator Losch should take enough interest in the
matter to present a bill of this kind gives
tho matter an interest it weuld not have
otherwise. This county wants no such in
cubus fastened upon it, and Senator Loach's
constituents, and oilier residents of the
county as well, have a right to demand an
explanation. We ean hardly credit the state
ment that Mr. Losch lias any debts to repay
in this quarter and in justice to himself and
Ji is constituents the Senator should explain
why this was done.

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common water glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates a diseased con
dition of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinato or
pain in the back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in tho knowledge so often
expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
tint great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in the book, kidnoys, liver,
bladder and every part of tho urinary pas
sages. It corrects inability to hold urine nud
scalding pain in passing it, or bad eflecta fol
lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of boing
compcllod to get up many times during tho
night to m ina to. Tho mild and the ex
traordinary cfl'ect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands tho highest for its wonder
ful euros of tho most distressing coses. If
you need a medicine yon should havo tho
best. Sold by druggists price fifty cents and
ono dollar. For a samplo bottle and pamph

Tours to Florida.
No district in America presents, during the
Winter season, so many varied attractions as
the State of Florida. Resides its delightful
climate, which to one ewap ug from tho cold
and unliealthful changes ui the North seems
almost ethereal, it is pre-eminently a land of
sport and pleasure. Along its eloven hundred
miles of salt' water coast and in its twelve
hundred fresh-water lakes nre fish of almost
every conceivable variety, from tho mlgra
tory tribes common to Northern waters to the
tarpon, pompano, and others of n more
tropical character. Nowhere iu all our broad
land can the angler find a greater variety of
irainQ or bettor sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds satiety. Deer, turkeys, bears, jiantbers,
and wild eats roam at large through the more
sparsely settled regions, while birds of all
kinds may be found In abundance through
out the State. The more novel sport of al
ligator and manatee hunting may also be in
dulged in by the moro adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its boating and
bathing, Its fishing nnd hunting, and its
extensive forests, Florida presents unrivaled
attractions for the valetudinarian, the lover
of nature, the sportsman and tho explorer.
To this attractive slate the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged four personally-conducted
tours during tho season of
1807. leaving by special train January 20,
February 0 and 28, and .March 0. Tho first
three tours will admit of a sojourn of two
weeks in this delightful land; tickets for the
fourth tour will bo valid to return until May
31 by regular trains.
Itates for tho round trip, $50.00 from New
York, $13.00 from Philadelphia, and propor

Tours to California.
California has been most fittingly torraod
the "Italy of America." All tho delicious
balm, the cloudless sky, aud tho rich ver
dure of the great European peninsula are
duplicated iu this sunny land of tho Pacific.
Here nature basks in the sunshine of her own
beauty; and here she has established her
own sanitarium, where eternal spring in
spires everlasting youth. With tho snew
mautlcd peaks of tho Sierras upon tho one
band, tho calm Pacific with iUsoft breezes
upon tho other, and a veritable paradise of
llowcrs, fruits and plants between, man can
find and needs no lovolier land. To visit
such a country is a privilege, a blessing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
recognizing the need of a more oomfortnble
and pleasant way of crossing tho continent,
Inaugurated a series of annual tours to Cali
fornia, running a through train of Pullmau
palace cars from New York to tho Pacific
Coast, and stopping at tho principal points of
interest on route. Tho great popularity of
these tours demonstrates tho wisdom of tho
movement.
For the season of 1607 three tours have
been arranged to leave Ne tv York, Philadel
phia, and Pittsburg, January 27, February
21, and March 27.
The first tour will run direct to San Diego
via St. Louis aud the Santa Fe Route, and re
turn from San Franclsui via Salt Lake City,
Denver, and Chicago, allowing five weeks in
California.
The second tour will run via the Mammoth
Cave and New Orleans to San Diego, stopping
at the "Crescent City" during the Mardl
Qns Carnival. This tour will return via
Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha, and Chicago,
allowing four weeksin California.
The third tour will rur! via Chieago.Den ver,
and Salt Lake City, allowing passengers to re
turn by regular trains via different routes
within nine months.
All of these tours, either going or return
ing, will pass through the famous Colorado
region, Qlenwood Springs, Leadvllle and the
Garden of the Gods.

The woman who""

she escapes with her life, it is only to 1 we a

Thousands of women have found a sure,

This remedy is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre

The United Slates Should Havo a Good
Representation nt tbo Ilxposltlon.
It appears that the secretary of state has
sent several communications to congress,
both formal and informal, requesting an
appropriation of J850,(KI0 as the first In
stallment to pay the oxpenso of the projier
representation of tho United States at tho
Paris exposition of 1000, tho authority for
the appointment of a commissioner general
nnd staff of assistants, but no action has
been taken. It la probable that the sundry
civil appropriation bill will contain the
neoMsary provisions. It will not go Into
effect until after President Moltlnley's in
auguration and will tlieraforo not inter
fere with tho aspirations of lteimuliean
candidates for tho appointment.
Nearly all of tho great nations of tho
oartli have already appointed their com
missions, havo had space reserved in tho
buildings at Paris and begun the prepara
tion of their exhibit. Hut the United
States la usually last on these occasions
and attends to such things in a hurry.
At tho last Paris exposition this govern
ment did not get in nn application until
nearly nil tho space was awarded, and
therefore our exhibits, were scattered all
aver the grounds, in the most lnoon venlent
nnd Inanoosslblo places. The ICuropean
governments spend years In preparation in
order to havo their exhibits complete and
symmetrical, and, realizing the Importance
of stioli expositions to their ooiumoerial
and Industrial Interest, thoy grant lllicml
appropriations and appoint thoir ablest
men, in order that tho arts, industries and
commerce of their peoplo may be Illustrat
ed in the best manner possible.
The United States has never had nn op
portunity to show what we can do at n for
eign exposition. Thn commissioner gen
eral 1ms never had tlmo to mako adequate
I reparations. Ho has always been so lim
ited in funds that ho could not do the
country justice. There are yet three jjrs
before tho opening of tho exposition, and If
an appropriation Is made and commission
ers arc appointed at once after tho inaug
uration of Major McKinley it will be pos
sible to do better nt Paris In 1000 than in
1880. William E. Curtis In Chicago Itco
