The men who have the poor judg
ment to imagine that a seat in Conn

caucus rule supersedes the interests
of the taxpayers.
Tub Herald guarantees a larger
circulation than at any previous
time in its history, and more than
that of all other publications in this
town combined. Advertisers should
bear this in mind.
A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature, drawn up at the request
of a number of tax collectors in this
county, permitting these officials in
boroughs and townships throughout
the state to retain five per "cent, of
all the taxes collected by them as
commission. Under the present law
they receive two per cent.
AS long as newspaper men will ao
cept advertising from every so-called
advertising agency, just so long will
these leeches flourish. The credulity
of newspaper men is to blame for
their existence. This week we threw
several of these propositions in the
waste basket, one of which called for
6,000 inches, which was a fraud on its
face.
The new officials at the Almshouse
will assume their duties on April 1st,
and when they do it is said they will
carry with them to that institution,
at the cqunty's expense, sixty-three
children. At present there are but
seventeen children. There is no good
reason why the county should sup
port the entire family simply because
the father has been appointed to a
position at that institution. There is
an opportunity for reform along these
lines.
The state of Pennsylvania appro
priates more to education and charity
than any other state in the Union,
yet there are people in the rural por
tions of the state that bitterly oppose
the extention of the school term be
yond six months, and who would
fight any reduction of the sohool
fund. With an appropriation by the
state of $3,500,000 annually, for, the
public schools, we get no better
teachers, they get no better salaries,
and no better educational system than
we had when we appropriated only
13,000,000, and the Governor has
.added further that the sohool direc
tors are a law unto themselves and
not subject to a proper auditing of
their accounts. But more than that,
this excessive appropriation whioh
lias been increased during the last
decade as a praotical example of
money in politics has destroyed that
local self-interest whioh comes from
the knowledge of having to pay for
it, and which la essential to the pres
ervation of our school system. Hon

By request of several of tie Welsh resi
dents of town the IIkrai.D to-day publishes
au extract from an address delivered by iter.
D. I. brans last i rid ay evening at the anni
versary banquet and entertainment of the
local lodge of True American Ivorites. It
deals with the associations of the Welsh
people with the foundation and historical
events of the United States.
Rev. Evans said : "The Welsh havo claims
for recognition and patriotic gratitude by tbn
American people, because oi the prominent

founding the American Republic. Tlie
iVelsb mind and heart have contributed
no small share in common with the good, tbe
noble and the enlightened of other lands to
mould its institutions and to make possible
a country where the highest conditions of a
Christian civilization may be enjoyed. That
little vessel of 180 tons burden, tbe May
flower, embryo of a free republic, was com
manded by a Welshman, Captain Jones.
Among those who came as passengers were
several of Welsh origin. Thomas Rogers.
Stephen Hopkins, John Aldcn and John
llowlana. The last one named was at
tached to Governor Carver's housohold. Su
the Welsh have a share in the celebration of
the landing of tho Pilgrim Fathers. Roger
Williams was born in Wales. Banished irom
Massachusetts in 1635. he penetrated tbe
forests in mid-winter 'till he came to the
country of the Narragansets, where tbe Chief
sachem. Uanonicus. gave him a grant or. land.
which, in token of Uod's merciful provi
dence to him in distress" he called Provi
dence. Here he established a cure Democracy.

William H. Davis, Edward Stevens, Blchard

and one of the founders of the Philadelphia
Medical school tne nrst or tbo kind estab
lished In America, and the beginning of the
great university. Among the divines were
Beva. David Jones, Samuel Davis, David
Williams, Morgan Edwards. Perhaps the
most distinguished ot these was Mr. Jones.
His ancestors came from Wales and settled on
the Welsh tract ' In Delawaro county. Pa
In 1776 he was appointed chaplain to Col. St
Clair's regiment, and was on duty at TIcon
deroga when the enemy was momentarily
expected from Crown Point. He delivered a
characteristic address, which produced
powerful impression unon the troops. When.
with General Wayne, he saw an Enkliah
dragon alight and enter a house for refresh
ments, the chaplain went to the dragon's
horse, took tbe pistols from the bolsters,
went Into the house, made him a prisoner
and marcnea mm into camp. Rev. samuei
Davis became president of Princeton College
General Washington's family associations
were with tbe desendants of the Welsh. His
wife. Martha, was the grand-daughter of Be v
Orlando Jones, who came to Virginia from
Wales. Colonel Fielding Lewis, of Welsh
descent, married Washington's slater and his
son. Georee Washington Lewis, was com
mander of the General's life guard. Elihu
Yale, founder of Yale College, Jonathan
Edwards, Daniel Webster, Charles U-vvis,
tbe mathematician, and a long array
of brilliant men and women who have
adorned every station In American Society
were of Welsh origin or descent. Mr. Web
ster, however, was descended only from his
mother's side. William I'enn, founder of the
great state of Pennsylvania; Thomas Floyd,
the first Governor of the colony, and An
thony Morris, first Mayor of Philadelphia,
were Welsh. The services of our forefathers,
in connection with those of almost every
other land, havo helped to lay tbe founda
tions, deep and broad, of the great American
republic, whose majectio proportions are ris
ing higher and still higher, commanding the
wonder and admiration of all: but. while the
later builders are at work, we hope and trust
that they will nut forget the principles that
compelled their lathers to work so well and
no wisely."

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require ati expert to detect the
sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow
cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy
circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip
colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheuma
tism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over
the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate
often, or a burning or scalding in passing it ;
if after passing there is an unsatisfied feeling
as if it must be at once repeated, or if the
urine has a brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and
sometimes requiring the drawing of the
urine with Instruments, or may run into
Bright's Disease, the most dangerous stage of
kidney trouble. '
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and bladdei
specialist, is a positive remedy for such dis
eases. Its reputatiou is world-wide and it is
so easy to get at any drug store that no one
need suffer any length of lime for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention EVENING HERALD
and write to Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton,
N. Y., for a sample bottle and book telling all
about it, both sent absolutely free by mail.

way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu

you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hear

Is the result,aud unless the Inflammation can be

ANTS OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Tlier Cun ISat Their War Into Houses
Through Solid Timber.
Professor Dean O. Worcester, In his
book on "The Philippines and Their Peo
pie," has this to say of the ants of the
Islands:
A countless horde ot tiny red ants in
vadod our premises and refused to decamp.
They tunneled Into our bread overnight
and built nests there, biting our tongues
when we attempted to eat It for breakfast.
They crawled Into the sugar and died.
making it necessary for us to skim out the
floating corpses after sweetening our
coffee. They particularly delighted in
fresh meat and swarmed over it until it
looked like a Bolld mass of ants. Not con
tent with destroying our food, they at
tacked our blrdsklns, which they seemed
to find palatable in spite of the arsenlo
with which they were poisoned. Having
obtained a vsry valuable bird just at
night, I suspended It by a string from tho
center 01 the celling, thinking they surely
would not una it tnere. The next morn
lug it was completely stripped of feathers,
We put the logs of our tables in dishes of
wator. The ants built bridges. We sub'
stltuted kerosene. They climbed up over
neaa ana aroppea down.
The white ants attack wood, paper,
pasteboard, clothing, cordage In short,
anything they can gnaw. They avoid the
light, often eating their way Into a houso
through solid timber, so that their pres
enco is not suspected until one breaks
through a floor board which they havo
hollowed out or knocks down a bedpost
with a mere touch. The creatures work
with astonishing rapidity and will come
through the floor and the bottom nf
trunk, and reduce its contents to powder
in a single mgnt.
On our second visit to the archipelago
we left a cart of our bagcaire at the
J United States consulate In Manila. Re
turning after a short absence we found
that the white ants had eaten our chests
until they had fallen to pieces of their
own weight, liaa utterly destroyed our
mowing, naa gnawed the nosteboArd
boxes from our cartridges and tne sacks
from our shot, hod ruined our cun wads,
letter paper and books and even eaten tho
strings out of tho beads intended for trado
with the natives.
