THE cloud <>f mystery overhanging
(lie fate of the hundreds of thousands
of dollars contributed for the benefit ;
of the flood sufferers in the Cone- i
luauglt valley should be dispelled im
mediately by the person who is solely
able to do so—Governor Beaver. The
public have a right to know what he ;
did with their money and an account j
of every cent contributed should be j

THIS administration is not so much
"dead gone" on the old soldiers as ;
some people seem to think. An illus
tration of this fact was seen last week s
when Postmaster Quigley of Miners'
Mills was removed from office because ;
he was a Democrat, and in his stead
was appointed a man who was quietly
enjoying life under Queen Victoria
when Mr. Quigley was lighting for the
country.
CHICAGO'S desire to eclipse Brooklyn,
and possibly Philadelphia, in the next
census, is becoming ridiculous. It
began by annexing the whole northern |
portion of the state and calling it
Chicago, although the St. Louis
papers claim some of the people now
living within the city limits have
never been nearer than twenty miles
of the city proper. But that causes
no uneasiness to the average Chica
goan, who will sacrifice almost every
thing to make the Lake City second
in population next year.
WE knew that Harrison's adminis
tration was not very well received by
the people of this county, but to think
that the Republicans, in convention
assembled, would cut it off without a
word of approval is more than the fol
lowers of Jefferson and Jackson could
ever expect. The protection harangue
is also conspicuous by its absence
from the resolutions. Mark the dif
ference that will exist between their
milk-and-water sentiments and the
bold and fearless demands Democracy
will fling to the breeze next Tuesday.
They won't forget Harrison 1
FHOM the reports of the proceedings
of the state anil county conventions
held recently the work begun by the
National Democratic Convention last
year is not to bo relaxed. The cause
of tariff reform anil a pure ballot is
receiving an emphatic endorsement
by Democrats everywhere. The G.
O. P. conventions still proclaim that
the Republican is the great and only
party of reform and good morals, and
yet .they refuse to assist the greatest
reform of the age. Inconsistency and
Republicanism always did go hand in
hand, brazenly marching along in
"blocks of five."
THE Easton Cull hit the nail
squarely on the head when it said:
Not a week passes that we arc not
asked why we haven't lampooned some
individual who has made himself un
pleasantly conspicuous. In nine
cases out of ten if the grumbler had
been in the same predicament he or
some friend of his would have waited
upon us with the polite request
"Please keep that little trouble of
mine out of the paper." It's all very
nice to seo someone else get rapped
in the newspapers, but w hen it comes
homo how eager we are to avoid it.
There don't seem to be much charity
for the unfortunate in this Christian
city-
THE biggest game of bluff Harrison
& Co. has yet tried was the order sent
by Postmaster General Wanamaker
to President Green of the Western
Union, notifying the latter that nil
government despatches sent hereafter
would be paid for at the rate of one
mill per word, instead of one cent per
word, which is the present rate. The
government has the privilege of fixing
its own telegraph tolls, and the reduc
tion to one mill per word caused great
astonishment throughout the country.
However, President Green returned
a prompt protest against any such
action and Wanamaker quietly re
scinded his order. It is presumed
that the campaign book at the G. G.
I'. national headquarters was ex
amined ami the Western Union's
check for $ found: hence the
cowardly backdown.
THE Republican platforms of Ohio,
Pennsylvania, lowa and Virginia say
not a word about civil service reform.
Within the last three or four years
Republican conventions in those states
have passed buncombe resolutions in
favor of that reform. The platform
of the Republican National Convention
of 1888 had some very edifying re
marks upon the subject, but of course
all this was mere bait for votes. As
soon as the Republicans got control of
the government again their pretended
interest in civil reform had a decline
of about per cent. As a means of
bothering and hampering Democratic
officials, civil service reform had its
uses. It was worth while to seem to
encourage it and to affect a pious hor
ror at the sad and scandalous disre
gard for it shown by the wicked
Democrats, but as soon as the Rcpub
lican administration came into power
the case was changed. Since then
the Republicans have had no use for
civil service reform.
Not us Hluc-lt as We're Fainted.
I The frequent allusions of newspapers
I and people situated outside of the por
tion of Pennsylvania known as the "coal
regions" proves that the once prevailing
impression as to the character of this
section has not yet been entirely elimi
nated. No sooner is a murder or crime
of any kind committed than exaggerated
accounts of the same are sent broadcast
throughout the country. It matters not
whether the deed was done at the north
ern extremity of Lackawanna County or
on the borders of Dauphin it is at once
| attributed to that "uncivilized and law
less territory" known as the "coal re
! gions." While no objections could pos
| sibly be made against the chronicling of
such matters, when truthful, yet the
manner in which they are published
cannot but help lowering the inhabitants
of the "coal regions" in the estimation
of those not acquainted with the whole
facts. "When it is remembered that the
"coal regions" extend diagonally across
one-half the state, embracing several
j counties with a total population of more
than 700,000, it can be seen at a glance
the injustice done by crediting every
i misdemeanor that occurs within such
limits in the same sense as if it happened
! in any certain town. An illustration of
i this huddling together of one-fourth of
the state's crimes was shown last week
by a Philadelphia penny-a-liner, who
considered it his bounden duty to write
up the results of a general pay-day in
the "coal regions." Imagination was
never given a wider scope and a few
drunken quarrels in <'arbondale, Ply
mouth and Shenandoah was sufficient
material for the writer to work upon and
describe the "terrible monthly scenes"
to be witnessed in the "coal regions."
It might be considered ludicrous were it
not for the effect such reports produce
upon the minds of readers, who are apt
to judge all by the few persons held up
to their view. Had the writer of the
article referred to feel inclined to walk
around the block from his office lie could
have seen sights that would make the |
most hardened resident of the '"coal
regions" blush with shame. Compari
, sons, however, are odious, and it is not
I necessary to produce them. There prob
| ably was a time when this part of the ■
state deserved the condemnation it re- |
ceivcd, but that time is long since past.
Statistics taken from the courts of the |
"coal regions" will prove that the law-1
lessness reported to exist here can be
surpassed by any other portion of the
country containing the same number of
1 l'COplc.
Tlif Sealskin Monopoly.
Nearly twenty years ago, through the
lie publican congress and president who
had control of the government then, a
corporation obtained the exclusive right
of seal fishing in Alaskan waters. The
time limit of this monopoly will soon
expire and it is intended to request con
' gross to renew the lease for twenty years
' longer. It is pertinent to ask why this
should he done. Why should the
government grant a monopoly of seal
fishing over thousands of miles of coast
to one body of men to the exclusion of
all other men? Why should it not, with
equal propriety, grant a monopoly of cod j
fishing, or grouse shooting, or bear hunt
ing? The plea is that the seals must be
protected from extermination. Very
well. Lot the government protect them
as governments protect fish and other
game, not by confining the right to kill
| them to a single corporate monopoly, but
by forbidding anybody to kill them dur
ing each year's close season, and making
the close season sufficiently long to afford
the necessary security against extermi
nation. The monopoly device is unjust,
tyrannical and corrupting. It is unjust
i to all citizens who desire to engage in
the business, but are forbidden to do so.
It is oppressive to all purchasers of the
I product, compelling them to buy of men
- exempt from competition. It sets up a
f vested interest to buy the privileges it
wants. Congress should make an end of
I this granting of class privilege by legis
' lativc enactment, but it is more than we
can expect while Republican rule is
dominant.
Wioiiif,
Another reason why I am willing to
drop the pen and retire is the litter
hopelessness of such a contest. In our
government of parties a canvass of
education is a farce. The American
citizen lias no turn for study and no
time for thought. In the conquest of a
continent we have come to be del vers in
dust. A race of shopkeepers, said the
groat Napoleon, makes a nation of
thieves. We turn from an abstract,
enconomic subject in patient disgust to
look lovingly on a locomotive, or to send
orders through the telegraph or tele
phone for a consignment of eggs and
potatoes. We can not be made to recog
nize the fact that all the woes that have
afflicted humanity for a thousand years
of abuse iu Europe are being rapidly
concentrated here. We mouth at times
—mainly on the Fourth of July—about
our free institutions, in certain pet
phrases, forgetting that all the wretched
ness and sin afflicting humanity come
from the unequal distribution of property.
We can have all our free institutions
' intact and yet see the foul spawn of
millionaires hatched into sharks, while
the masses live only to be fed upon.
Time was, within the memory of living
men, when we had two millionares to
wonder at, and deaths from starvation
4 and suicides from despair were unknown.
I* Indeed, we can have these free institu-
I tions, as the fathers gave them to us,
, 1 and have them sanction these very evils.
■ A hundred and sixty thousand miles of
. railroads, distributing the entire products
; of the country, are undertho control and
, literally the ownership of less than sixty
families, and this fearful monopoly
comes from and depends upon the fran
-1 shisc given by the government. Our
telegraph system belongs to one man.
r The amount of money paid over to pri
) vatc interests and taken yearly from the
■' masses is large enough yearly to liquidate
j the national dobl. This takes no account
of trusts, that cover all we eat, wear ami
. use as clothing or shelter, for they have
grown up outside and in defiance of law.
Legalized wrong is our great enemy, for
we suffer more from the power of abuse
than in the abuse of power. A wrong
one recognized by law destroys the
foundation of the very power to which
we must appeal for a remedy.— Don
Piatt's Retiring Essay,
Protection at Home.
We needn't inquire into the results of
the protective tariff away down East, or
in other states, for we have it right here
in this and adjoining counties. With
free trade for raw silk we have extensive
and flourishing siik mills at Mauch
Chunk, Weatherly, Calasauqua, Allen
town, Bethlehem and Stroudsburg, cm
ploying probably 2500 to 3000 hands and
paying over half a million dollars a year
in wages. With high tariff tax on raw
wool we have not even as much as the
smallest kind or semblance of a woolen
mill within fifty miles of the Lehigh ;
Valley, whilst the demand for woolen
goods is twenty times as much as the
demand for silk goods! Who else than
a natural fool or a pitiful party bigot can \
stand up before the public to be counted |
in favor of such protection as the kind
we have under the existing monopoly j
and trust system? But, there are men
of respectability, who can read and j
write, and who wear good clothes, and |
know that twice two makes four —even
business men, church-goers and leaders j
of society, who insist upon it that the i
tariff as it exists "protects labor, builds
up home markets, stimulates business
and industries" and overwhelms the
people with prosperity and plenty!
They believe it all because the G. O. P.
bosses, manipulators and office-brokers
tell tliem so! —Mauch Chunk Democrat.
Correspondence From the Cnpltiil.
WASHINGTON, August 27, 1889.
The Speakership contest is beginning !
to make itself heard in the lobbies of the
Capitol and about tlio hotels, and the j
MeKinley statisticians are beginning to
baul out a few figures themselves. The
expectation that Pennsylvania would be
almost solid ton man litis been blighted
by the discovery that the prevailing
political influence in the State is for
Reed. It is nevertheless assumed that!
three Pennsylvania Republicans will
vote for the Stark County Napoleon,
j The trio embraces Judge Kelley, John
j Dalzell, and the "Old Iron Grey of
Somerset," Edward Scull. Kelley is
presumed to believe that his only chance
of securing the chairmanship of the \
Ways and Means Committee is by the
election of MeKinley. He can hardly
hope for this chairmanship if a Western !
candidate is the Speaker. If Reed is
male Speaker, MeKinley is almost
certain to get the coveted chairmanship,
whereas if MeKinley is chosen liccd wilt
he restored to his old place as chairman
of the Judiciary Committee, leaving the
way open for Kelloy's appointment as a
successor to Roger Q. Mills, as tariff
manager.
Now for the figures. Ohio is put down
:as solid with sixteen votes. Ten out of
the ninteen Southern Republicans added,
which, with three from Minnesota, three ;
from Pennsylvania, three from New-
York, two from Nebraska, one from New
Jersey, ami one from Indiana (T. Jr.
Browne), makes a total of thirty-nine.
This total is not appalling in its tnagni-;
tude, but is said to represent the sure I
support, with enough reasonable certain- j
ties, to give MeKinley half a handl ed on I
the first ballot. This is not a had show- j
ing if a half dozen candidates are pre
sented to the caucus, for at the outside it |
will require only eighty-five to nominate ;
and possibly less.
CONTESTED SEATS.
Another of the contested election eases \
is grinding away at tile Capitol. It is
| I the Fourth West Virginia. The certill-1
j eate is held by Hon. J. M. Jackson, and
I his opponent is Hon. Charles B. .Smith,
"| of Purkcrsburg. But three votes stand
! between Mr. Jackson's victory and Mr.
s ' Smith's defeat—the same number which ]
separates the Republicans from the :
Democrats in the coming Congress.
"About the contest for my seat?" said
Judge Jackson in the lobby of the I
r National last evening, "Mr. Smith and i
j. have got in all our testimony, and I feel
entirely confident of the safety of my :
seat, but I want it to lie decided fairly
and squarely before Congress. It is a |
little too early to say much about the
House. Undoubtedly the Republicans
. will try to change the rules and seat all
their contestants early in the session.
I To do this it will lie necessary to have j
an audaciour man in the chair. Neither j
Cannon nor MeKinley can tie relied upon j
| to do the unconstitutional acts, therefore [
I believe that Reed will he made
| Speaker. He is hold enough to declare
I a quorum, as did Keifer, by saying that j
' I he sees one present, whether u quorum j
I votes or not. The Democrats should act
J | entirely on the defensive and insist that
] matters shall take their accustomed
I course and that the old rules shall
J govern. But then the now States are
j yet to he heard from. Several Republi- j
j can members are already /■ da combat. j
j. j We had better wait."
. I TO IIUII.D UP THE NAVY,
j The Secretary of the Navy lias appoint- j
j ed a board who shall formulate and j
report to him a general plan for building 1
up the Navy. The Secretary of War lias
j also shown an interest in the subject of
national defense and ordered that the
, | vast useless possessions of the War I)c- j
. J partment lie disposed of and turned into 1
f j something available for modern lighting !
II purposes. All this is encouraging and I
I there appears to he aroused a degree of
• ] interest in She subject of national ile- j
| fense. It is a good proposition to sell j
all our useless Htult. Let us see what
American ingenuity lias done. The
problem of coast defenses is especially
an important one, ami it idiould be
attended to at once. The emergency

DON'T STINT YOUR STOMACH-
By Killiiik Kuougli Vim liidreane Your
CliaiiceH of (ioml Health,
A physician, writing on the food
necessary to give strength and susten
ance, says that if a person uses up his
brain faster than he makes it he soon
becomes uervous and irritable. If he
does not assimliate enougli food to •
supply its demands his mind is sure to j
become weak. The healthiest and ;
strongest individuals, even should cat
a far greater proportion of moat than j
of vegetable food. Beef should be |
taken as the standard meat It answers j
every purpose of the system. Veal
and pork are not as easily digested.
Pork, so far as its composition goes, is
an excellent food for nervous persons,
but it is not readily digested. Yet, in
the army, we used to think nothing
better for the wounded men than
bacon. As a rule, salt meat is not
adapted to the requirements of the
nervous individual, as nutrious juices
to a great extent go into the brine.
The llesh of wild birds is moro ten
der and moro readily digested than
that of domestic oues. This is ac- ,
counted for by the greater amount of
exercise they take, thereby renewing
their llesh more rapidly and making
it younger than that of birds which i
lead a more quiet life. This is a sug
gestion that might be of benefit to
women of sedentary habits who are
desirous of prolonging an appearance
of youth. Fish of all kinds is a good
food for the nervously inclined.
A notion has been prevalent that
many persons injure their digestion by
eating too much. The fact is that
most people don't eat enough. There
are moro people killed every year by
insuiliciency of nourishment than by
! overloading their stomachs. Many of
those who do eat a sullieieut quantity
are prevented by disease from digest
ing enough for the economy of their 1
systems. The very lirst thing for any
one to do who has exhausted himself
by meutal work or who has been born i
weak and irritable is to furnish his
brain with sufficient nourishment to
either repair the damage it has sus
tained or to build it iuto strong,
healthy condition. People in this con
dition usually suffer from nervous
dyspepsia. Their stomachs are un
able to perform the labor of assimila
tion. Owing to the deficient nerve !
power of the individual the food lies
in the stomach unacted upon by the
gastric juice because there is none or
the quantity is insufficient to have any
power. Food, instead of helping to
renew the body, and the nervous sys
tem with the rest, undergoes fermonta- 1
tion, and the bodyrmd brain it should
nourish may starve. The person is in 1
worse state than if the food had not
been taken, for the fermentation gener
ates acids and gas.
Nervous individuals may derive all
the fat the}* need from sugar and
starch. It is better, however, for those
with weak digestive organs, or whoso
nerves are in a highly sensitive state,
to get it from the animal kingdom than
compel their enfeebled stomachs, in
testines and pancreas to create it out
of these articles. Good bread, sweet
butter and meat are the best foods for
the nerves.
People troubled with insomnia,
nervous starting from sleep and sensa
tions of falling, can often be cured by
limiting themselves to a diet of milk
alone for a time. An adult should take
a pint for a meal, and take four meals
daily. People with weakened nerves
require, usually, a larger quantity of
water than those whose brains and
nerves are strong. It aids in the diges
tion of food by making it soluble, and
seems to have a direct tonic effect.
With proper eating and drinking we
should have fewer broken down,
nervous wrecks, and far more vigorous
intellects. The present human species
can not eliminate llesh from its food :
and amount to a row of pins. The
fancy that nothing but vegetables
should be eaten is apt to overtake 1
everyoue somewhere in life. It is due
to some disorganization, and usually
passes away with the disturbance thai
j creates it.
Miseries of High Intel
Mrs. Westend—Oh, such a time as I
do have with nurses. I've discharged i
three this week for not keeping the
I children quiet, and it hasn't done a bit
of good.
Mrs. Tiptop—l notice the nob from
the nursery is terrible. Well, have
the same trouble, and my iband,
! who is getting deaf, actun refuses
to be treated for it. I can't ,ee what
sort of creatures these child's nurses
can be. They don't seem to have a
bit of sense. I aclully caught one
buying cheap candy with her own
money to keep the iittle angels quiet.
Just think of the impudence of the
thing—putting cheap candy into the
delicate stomachs of my children.
Well, I said I'd discharge her if she
repeated that off ense, and what do you
suppose she did next? Why, when
; they began to yell and kick at her for
not buying them a locomotive and cars
big enough to ride iu she actually
threatened to have their father whip
them, just as if she. a common, iguo- j
rant nurse, had a right to keep their j
father, my husband, at her beck and j
call. No wonder the children laughed, !
and then yelled louder than ever, j
Even they could sec the effrontery of
| the thing.
Mrs. Western!— Well, I'd send her
living. Dear me! What a racket!
Hark! Ah! I understand it now. That
miserable creature who calls herself a
nurse is trying to stand little Billy in
the corner for nothing. Isu'titawful?
Now, if .she hits him I'll just send for
the police—l just will. I shan't be con
tented with a simple discharge. It's
high time these creatures were taught
a lesson.
Mrs. Tiptop—l think so, too. No
wonder the little dears learn to yell
and kick aud bite when they have such
examples set them. They see it's a j
mere question of physical strength—
brute force—of course they do. Why
don't these nurses keep the children
amused? That's what they aro hired
to do. Well, I must hurry, for I have
an engagement at the intelligence
office for this hour. I want if possible
to get a nurse to replace the one I
have now. Since dear little Bobby
kicked her shins black and blue she
has hated him 1 and it almost breaks
my heartgto hear the poor little fellow
c ry. — PhUadelphia Record.

CALIFORNIA DIAMONDS.
An Australian l)lnmnnil Hunter Begin
ning Work in Amador.
"Just, take a look at this bigdiamond,"
remarked Henry Vidol, the mining
superintendent of Amador, to a repre
sentative of the San Francisco Ex
' amincr.
Mr. Videl exhibited in a paper taken
from his vest pocket three jnagnilieont
i clear white stones. Pointing his long
I index linger to the largest of the three,
' which seemed half the size of a big
hazelnut, ho added:
"Now where do you suppose I got
that? Nowhere else than on Dry
Creek, up iu Amador County, and, by
the way, do you know that there is a
genuine diamond country up there?
"There are also diamonds found on
tlie Feather River, in the vicinity of
Cherokee. There are not many peo
ple who know this. Nine people out
of Leu, perhaps, in California, if you
were to ask them whether or not there
were any diamonds in this State, would
say: 'Of course not; there are no dia
monds to speak of this side of Capo
Town.' All the same they will he mis
taken.
I "About this place of Cherokee which
I speak of as many as sixty or seventy
diamonds have been found in the
course gravel. About as many have
been found at Volcano, on Dry Creek.
There there is a peculiar conglomerate
that has gold in it, and in this con
glomerate, if you take a glass, you can
see pulverized diamonds in consider
able quantities."
"Are these good diamonds?" was
asked.
"Well, you see what these are. They
have been pronounced by experts
equal to the average taken out of Cape
Town. These experts, however, who
have examined the ground up there
aro of the opinion that these diamonds
liavo been brought from a distance.
Just where is the question. All the
country is tossed aud turned up.
, Ancient rivers, mountains, and valleys
liavo been tipped and twisted at ail
angles and coated over in many places
with lava.
"Both the points I speak of lie only
a short distance from the western base
of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Whether high in the peaks of the
Sierras there are better and more dia
monds cannot now be told. Whether
practical diamond-hunters will ere
long go to Cherokee aud Volcano and
make a business of digging for dia
monds, however, is, I think, another
matter. Too many have already been
found to let the Country go by default.
"1 am an old resident of Amador
and have watched the progress of
things there since the first diamonds
were found ten years ago. I have al
ways said that diamond-mining would
become a business iu California, and
now I am backed up by the arrival of
Donald MaePhersou from Australia.
MaePherson has been miuing for dia
monds at the Antipodes, and he is
now ou Dry Creek siziug up the situa
tion.
"There are two or three other
Australians with him. They have been
experimenting with the conglomerate,
and while they have kept pretty quiet
it is understood that they are well
pleased wilh their investigations. They
have brought live acres of ground, and
it is said that within a month or two
they will begin work there with quite
a force of men. I predict that they will
find diamonds in sufficient quantities
to handsomely pay them, and that
within a year diamond-mining will bo
a business in Amador and Butte
Counties."
The Oyster.
The oyster is uot quite the laziest
animill known, but lie is very nearly
so. and he affords a striking illustra
tion of the degeneracy that comes from
indolence, since he lias gradually lost
by disguise nearly all lus "faculties"
1 except that of choosing and digesting
his food. He looks like an inert and
unorgauized mass of jelly, but in fact
lie has a complete animal organization,
including heart, liver, lungs, mouth
and stomach, and something that an
swers for eyes and a thousand or more
fibrous anus. But all his orgaus seem
calculated to serve the one general
purpose of feeding and nourishing the
oyster — and perpetuating his race.
, The latter aim is accomplished by
means of eggs, of which a female oys
ter lays from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 in a
season. The eggs, called "spat" by
the oystermen, are expelled from the
' shell in a glutinous liquid which holds
them together in masses called "white
1 spat." The spat becomes impregnated
while in the water, and the eggs soon
hatch. In its earliest infancy the little
oj'ster is very lively aud swims about
near the surface of the water. He is
nearly as trausluceut as the water it
self, hut he undergoes perils of every
description and the millions aro much
diminished before his career is fairly
started. After swimming aboift a
short timo ho sinks to the bottom of
the water where he attaches himself to
some hard substance—a stone or an
oyster shell—and begius to be an oys
ter indeed as well iu truth. Ho never
! migrates after this, but coutinues to
grow, rapidly at first and very slowlv
afterward, for a period variously esti
mated. The oyster in the market is
usually live or six years old.— Good
