Spkakinq of trusts, there is ono of stupendous proportions being formed within the Deuioorutio party in this county. It is said that when the President returned to Washington from his trip to New England lie remarked that lie had seen only one anti-imperialist, find ho was a lately dismissed federal officer. Mu. Bryan contradicts Huve lneyer's assertion, and declares that the tariff is not "the mother of trusts'" and that free trade would be only a partial remedy. It is unneces sary to add that the "late candidate for President" places the gold stand ard as the root of all evil. Thk antiquated Miners' Journal, after floundering around some time to get its bearings, has at last de clared for D. C. Henniug for Judge, George M. Roads for District At torney, and John S. Randall, of Tamaqua, for Register. The other candidates, as a consequence, have taken to the woods. The Monarch of Strength is (ABSOLUTELY Ft'HE.) Its strength comes from lta purity.

His conscience would not ullow liiui to vote for un ex penditure of a few cents to purchase ribbon for diplomas, but it didn't trouble him in the Scanlan bond matter. In the latter instance lie very conveniently shifted the respon sibllity. Tim Sil ver Democrats in the county, especially those in Shenandoah, are active now in the selection of mom bers of the Stauding Committee. The members of this committee will in turn select delegates to the state con vention, nest year, who will choose the national delegates. The battle between the silver and gold wing of the party is a spirited one. The gentlemen who have interested themselves in the reorganization of the Shenandoah Manufacturing Com pany, with a view to resuming operu. tions in the manufacture of hats and caps, should receive every encourage ment at the hands of our monied men. We need industries of this nature in our midst, and we trust that Dr. J. S. Kistler, who seems to be the leading spirit in the move ment, will be enabled to again put the factory in operation. Thk Democrats of the Second Illinois district have picked out Hev. Father Heldmann as the one man who can beat Congressman Lorimer for re-election. Rev. Heldmann's accept ance of the nomination waits on the consent of Archbishop Feehan. He has a strong hold on the hearts of his parishioners, is of German extrac tion, and was one of the chairmen of the mass-meeting in protest against a British-American alliance. It is a strong German district, with a big Republican majority to overcome Says Father Heldmann : "I have til ways been a Democrat, and there is no law, ecclesiastical or civil, which prevents the election of a Catholic priest to the office of Congressman." Hbrb is a peculiar and somewhat annoying state of affairs. The Re publicans of the Third legislative dis trlct of Lackawanna county held their convention the other day, and adopted the following among the resolutions : "The Republican party of the Third assembly distriot of Lackawanna, county, in convention assembled, reaffirm their allegiance to the fundamental principles of the Re publican party as they were forum lated by its founders and affirmed by the Chicago platform." What is most remarkable is that not a soul in that convention officer, delegate candidate or spectator discovered the blunder, and the Bryanites have the laugh on their Republican brethren of that district. One Re publican paper in Soranton published the resolutions as above, but the other deteoted the blunder and sub utituted "St. Louis platform" for the Ohicaco nlatforin." This shows what resolutions are really worth.

Governor Bradley arrived hero yesterday from Cincinnati with tho information that the call for 300 state troops Saturday night was the result of forged mes sages to him purporting to be from a gentleman in Lexington in whom the governor has confidence, and a mes sage from Frankfort purporting to be from a state officer. He was informed by these messages that there was muoh trobule in Clay county, that the Howards were surrounded and were at the mercy of the Phllpots and Bakers. The governor Immediately is sued the order, but soon afterward ho learned that the telegrams were forged and the order was countermanded. How Is Your Wife 7 Has sho lost her beauty?

Under the orders of the captain gen eral of Valencia, General Moito, the troops occupied the streets Saturday morning, and now hold all the strategic points. At the beginning of the riots the mob placed obstacles on the street rail way tracks and stopped the cars, stoning the gendarmes when they tried to remove the barriers. Finally the troops charged and the first shots were fired. Several persons were wounded. In one rase a bullet passed through a shop door and killed a shop assist ant within. As the day advanced the disorders increased. Troops were sta tioned at many points and the artillery was held in readiness. The rioters thereupon erected barricades, which tho cavalry captured only after fierce fighting, in which many were wounded. About 8 o'clock Saturday evening the mob attacked the monastery, and the brother who was acting as gate porter was obliged to defend himself with a revolver. - They then moved upon a Jesuit house, which had a narrow escape from being burned to the ground, the troops arriving Just in the nick of tlmo to prevent the mob from setting it on Are An enormous number pf arrssU have Does TAls Strike Yon ?

Reports from the Braso3 bottoms are that the waters are still very high, but aro slowly receding, and it is believed that the worst Is over in that section of tho state. The International and Great Northern railroad yesterday started out a large wrecking force to work in the water between here and Dcarno to replace the track and bridges. The Houston and Texas Central do not ex pect to get their trains running for sx days yet. Their track is four feet under water for muoh oi the way. The estimated damage to tho country tributary to the Brasos valley of $4,- 0J)0,000 is none too high. It is not ue Moved that the loss of life will be any where near as large as reported, and will be DrinciDally among the negroes. Reports from along the bottoms state that hundreds of people have been resoued by means oi improvised raits, and that in each case of known drown ing some party has Indiscreetly upset a raft after getting on It, with the result that the entire load waB thrown Into the water. The ruablng waters aro rapidly ac cumulating hundreds of doad horses and cattle at the mouth of the Brasos. Some are floating ont into the gulf, and many are stranded in the eddies along the lowlands adjacent. To Itednco Spain's Standlne Army, Madrid, July 3.
