OUR COUNTRY : First, Last and Forever.
Former Congressman Bruinm litis
' been In Washington the pust few
days not as representative of the
people, but in an effort to retain his
son In a Kovermnent position with' a
fat salary.
TlIOSK burglars are still ax large,
and the good people of Shenandoah,
who pay dearly for protection, are
nightly in danger of being "visited."
And still we have a force of six regular
pdlfeeuien and two or three special
watchmen.
The suggestion of a new combina
tion of Republican leaders in this
county, by our county seat corres
pondent, is still the topic of conversa
tion in Republican circles, not alone
in this county but at state head
quarters as well.
Senator Mark Hanna's advice to
young men "is to leave politics alone
as a profession." This admonition,
coming as it does from a man who
has achieved national prominence in
politics! seems rather Inconsistent,
yet it is true and can be followed with
profit.
The Miners' Journal says that B.
Jefferson Yost, of East Mahanoy
Junction, is a candidate for the Legis
lature "in the Second district." The
fact that Mr. Yost is a resident of the
Third district doesn't prohibit our
erratic contemporary from locating
him somewhere else.
Sensible Railroad rianager.
The general manager of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna & Western R. R.,
is evidently a man of more than aver
age good sense. Immediately after
the recent frightful accident at Pater
son ocourred the general manager
issued orders to the division officials
to afford the newspaper men every
possible facility to enable them to
prooure all the facts in order that their.
reports might be accurate and truth
ful. He preferred that the exact
truth should go out to the public
rather than possible exaggerations
based ou surmise.
This was sensible reasoning. It is
too much the practice of railroad
officials, when accidents occur on
their lines, to throw every possible
obstacle in the way to prevent re
porters from securing facts. The folly
of such a policy is readily seen. The
truth cannot be suppressed for any
length of time, and there is no possi
ble advantage to the railroad com
pany concerned in preventing the
facts from becoming known at once.
The Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western official went so far as to give
orders that, if necessary, special ar
rangements be made for the return of
newspaper men who might not be
able to leave on regular trains. This
was such a radical innovation from
what reporters have been accustomed
to that they were fairly dazed.
Virtually the company officials ren
dered the reporters all possible assist
ance, and as a result the first pub
llshed reports of the accident con
tained the exnot truth and practically
all the facts, even to the names of
those who were responsible for the
calamity. Here is a pointer for other
railroad officials.
What is true of railroads is equally
true of certain mine officials in this
section. It always pays to be honest
and frank with newspaper represen
tatives.

Patorson, N. J., Dec. G. A general
strike among the machinists here Is
expected within tho next 24 hours.
Such a strike would tlo up the entire
iron Industry of this city. The ma
chinists, numbering In all about 500,
in some cases were given an advance
of from 25 to 30 cents per day, but
want the standard rate of $2.50 per
day for all. The demand was mado
ten days ago. Tho manufacturers have
refused to accede to tho demands of
the machinists. It Is understood, how
over, that tho'-molders and core work
ers have been granted the advance
asked for. Tho brass workers have
also started a movement for an in
crase In wages.

To this dangerous plague is added
tho general condition of political un
rest In all tho western republics of
South Amerlcn. Chill Is on the ovo of
n financial crisis, and possibly of revo
lution, which has only beon postponed,
and not averted, by tho government's
reduction of tho Issue of forced paper
currency front $50,000,000 to $20,000,000.
In Peru and Bolivia serious revolutions
are going on. Those are disorganizing
trnile. Ecuador Is In n condition of In
cipient revolt against tho dictatorship
of President Elroy Alfaro, and a strong
revolutionary movement, directed by
tho Clerical party and supported by n
majority of tho peopio, Is said to bo In
course of organization on Peruvian
soil, in Colombia civil war Is raging.
Tho plague and tho wars aro reacting
Seriously on tradeand Industry. From

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble
and Don't Know it.
Row To Find Oat.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let It stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set
tling Indicates an
unhealthy condi
tion of the kid
neys; If it stains
your linen It Is
evidence of kid
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass It or pain In
the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
What to So.
There Is comfort In the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish In curing rheumatism, pain In the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects Inability
to hold water and scalding pain In 'passing
It, or bad efjects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra-
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon
realized. It stands the highest for Its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you tfted a medicine you should have tho
best. Sold by druggists InSOc. and$l. sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of this
wonderlul discovery
and a book that tellsi
more about It, both sent!
