WITH our present understanding of the matter we dispute the idea that a people can tax itself rich. THE agricultural industry of this country is greater than any other in dustry. It contributes largely to all industries, but gets nothing itself. SOME people profess to be reformers and friends of the poor man, but they are not. They are wolves in sheeps' clothing rushing about seeking whom they may devour. ABE you in favor of justice to all and special privileges to none ? ' What a question," you reply. Then why j are you in favor of a protective tnriil" which 'protects" a few millionaires in j their wholesale robbery of the people'( \ THE gospel of John Wanamaker, as j substantially announced in the recent copyright controversy, appears to be, that all things are right if government will put up a declaration to that etl'ect. "And the decision," he asserts, "al though possibly erroneous, is binding till changed, both as to law and morals." PTTHAOOCAS uses the letter Y as a symbol of human life. "Remember," says he, "that the paths of virtue ami of vice resemble the letter Y, the foot representing infancy, and the forked top the two paths of vice and virtue, one or the other of which people are to enter upon after attaining the age of discretion. IT is sound "business" not to con-' tinue a business which is not self-sus taining. Protectionists claim that if it were not for protection many of our manufacturing establishments would have to shut down. If this is true, then these establishments are run at a national loss, and no such establishment should be continued. FOB the information of subscribers who may not receive their papers regularly, we have to say that no blame is attached to this office. The papers are promptly sent in the mails, and ifj not received, the fault is on the part of the mail service, not ours. A little "raking up" of the local postmasters would probably remedy the evil. Meanwhile, we want all thoHe who do not receive their TBIBCNE regularly to notify us at once and we will investi gate the matter. IT is rather amusing these hot days to seo the three leading daily Demo cratic papers of the county engaged in a wordy war over the merits of their respective favorites for the nomination of the various offices to be filled this fall. The better way would be to let the delegates to the convention settle the question of fit ness, by their choice, and then let these same papers who are now at war with each other and do all they can to elect them. We want harmony in the party this fall. The TBIPUNE has no choice, but believes ' that there will be wisdom and forsight 1 enough among the delegates to select for our standard bearers men who f can go before the public with qualifi | cation and character to enable them to | 1 fulfill the duties for which they will 1 have been nominated and who can j rally to their support the good and true men, not only of the Democratic i party but all others who are in favor of a clean administration of the county's business. Scan the Assessors' Lists. September the 4th is the last day to he registered in order to vote at the next election. Persons who neglect to have their names placed on the registry list prior to that date may find it a little in convenient to have their vote received j and placed in the box by the election officers when they go to the poll in No- : vember next. The law requires that on the first Mon day in August of each year the Assessors' lists should be placed at the regular poll ing places, where they can he at all times ] examined, and also, that the Assessors he at the polling place during the last two dayß of the time for placing them there. Do not wait until it is too late. Scan the list now and if your name is not 1 j placed therein put it there yourself or notify the Assessor to do so. The lists for Woodside poll is at the J office of C. A. Johnson, on Centre street, and that tor the borough at the council room. —Strawberry, Vanilla and Chocolate I Ice cream at Jacobs' every day. tVorklnguien in the Campaign. As the workiugnen of Pennsylvania have a peculiar interest in the present) State contest they could not organize too early for the accomplishment of their j political ends. While the toilers—the men in the mines and factories, at the carpenter's bench and the anvil of the blacksmith—seek no special favors of the State, they demand an equal participa tion in the government, and a thorough reform of inveterate abuses under which j a few are enabled to enrich themselves at I the expense of the many. In order, therefore, to obtain the due weight to which they are entitled as political I factors they will have to organtze—not, as heretofore, in party clubs, to he marchad against each other by party bosses and drill masters, but as working men's associations. For the formation of workingmen's clubs, without regard to party, to con-1 sider the issues in the contest for Governor, fiye earnest men in each dis-1 J trict would be enough for a nucleus of or- J ganization. When once started by pub- j lie-spirited workers the local clubs would rapidly grow. Out of the smaller clubs, of which meetings should be held at least one evening in a week, county and district organizations would soon be de veloped, and larger meetings held, to which speakers in full sympathy with the workingmen of Pennsylvania and with their political aims could he in vited. To people who are more familiar than all others with the means of spon taneous organization for the attainment of any desirable political or social end a hint only on this subject is necessary. In the organizations of workingmen I thus formed the records of the two can didates for Governor of Pennsylvania j could be most thoroughly canvassed, | without regard to any side-issue; and upon these records the workingmen could make up their decisions at the ballot- I box.

From the Capitol, WASHINGTON, August 5, '9O. The Congressional Campaign Commit tees will necessarily be slow this year in inaugurating and pushing the work they have in hand. It will not be possible for them to proceed with anything like sys tem or intelligence until the precise issue upon which the contest is to be made is determined, and that cannot be done while Congress is still hesitating about so important a matter as the National Election Law. Of course there is the general charge by the Democrats that the Republicans have been wasteful of the public money and the general justi fication offered by the Republicans that while the appropriations are large the money will go into channels like pen sions and public improvements from which the country will get liberal returns. But, as a rule, a National Congressional Campaign is conducted on something more specific than that, and, at present, with two great questions still awaiting settlement at the hands of the majority —the tariff and the control of national elections—there is much concern felt as to which, or whether both, will by some enactment of law mark the dividing line between the two great parties when they square for action next fall. The original intention was to fight the battle on the tariff issue alone. It seemed, indeed, ns if at last there was to be a national campaign on a great economic issue. Later, however, the Republicans brought the National Election hill for ward, and immediately ahalt was called. The Democrats thought it best to go no further with their plans until the full significance of the new move made by their antagonists was plainly revealed. It might be necessary for them to face this new direction, and if so all arrange ments about a battle on the tariff ground would naturally have to be abandoned. And so it is that on activity is observed on the part of either committee. The Republicans have yet to decide just what part the Elections bill shall pay in the ! campaign—whether as a law to he applied or as a measure they simply approve of— . and until that decision is reached the Democrats can do little. Jt is pointed out by the Democrats that in the coming contest they will have the advantage in the way they will be able to distribute their best speakers. For tunately for them, they claim, their Congressional leaders are all assured in advance of their return here, and hence can go to the relief of their friends in any part of the country who may be pressed closely. The strongest of the Republican speakers in the house will, on the other hand, he kept busy at home looking eacli after his own individual fortunes. But, however, the issues may finally be made up, the campaign must now be a short one. It will not last over six weeks, beginning the middle of Septem ber, hut it promises to be an exciting : one from start to finish. The question of a new apportionment, when it comes up in the House, will be an interesting one. After every census the apportionment haH been changed to meet the requirements of the increase of population and the popular branch of Congress has increased in membership accordingly. Now the House has 332 members, counting those from the new States, though 325 was the number given by its last apportionment. This was based on the apportionment of one Rep resentative to every 151,000 people. The total population of the country at the last census was 50,185,723, and this year i it is estimated that it will approach 05,- 000,000. This large increase will make it necessary either to increase the basis of representation or increase the member ship of the House or both. The question has almost as many sides as the House has members. Some, wbo think the present body too large and un wieldly, hold that under no circum stances should the size of it be increased. Other favor cutting down the basis of ' representation and allowing the member ship to run as high as it could, pointing out that the British House of Commons , has about 700 members, and yet manages i to do the work required of a popular ; body. Between these extremes there are advocates of many other plans. One of the most talked of is to increase the basis of representation to 180,000 or 185,- IXMt, which would probably give the ; House a membership of 350 or 360. If this is done, the increase would scarcely 1 be sufficient to cut any State out of a ! Representative. Strange sensations must come over Mr. Blaine these days when he notes the quarters from which he is winning ap i plause as he scores point after point against the McKinley Tariff bill and its 1 framers. Mr. Blaine shows his shrewd ness in endeavoring to get in line with j the Tariff Reform sentiment which has grown strong even in his own party. The policy which he advocates will work out the rusult for which Democratic tariff reformers have struggled so long, and although it will do it under a differ | ent name, the same end will eventually I be attained.
