The battle of protec ir.:i or free trade has been fought, and i'.e result is one of the greatest and n <>■ t complete vic tories ever accomplish • 1 in the politi cal history of the Unit 1 States. Feel ing secure that the elusive cry of "protection to Amei can industries" would again win them the presidency, the Republicans dared their opponents to make the tariff the issue of the cam aigu, out the prompt and aggressive manner in which their challenge was met showed that the Democrats of the country were only waiting for the opportunity to make that question the one upon which they should stand or fall. The Democrats entered the political arena determined to accomplish the complete overthrow of the system of protection, and that their position might not be misunderstood by the masses, their national convention boldly and fearlessly nailed to the masthead of their banner that "Protection is a fraud, a robbery of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of the few." The timid begged that this most radi cal sentence be eliminated from the party's platform; they feared that this one grand step toward the freedom of commerce would bring upon the organiza tion a defeat from which it would never recover; they asked for a return to the campaign methods of the enemy, the placing of practical politics, deception and trickery, above party principle. But Democracy's leaders refused. The stand had been made and the day of shirking had passed. The lines were strictly drawn. It was the long-looked for fight of protection or free trade, so Baid the Republicans, and the Demo crats took them at their word. Believing that a fervent and sincere appeal to the intelligence of the citizens of America would vindicate them, the Democrats entered the contest with an unbroken front and a confidence in their position that could not be weakened until the last ballot had been counted. The struggle is over and our readers know the result. The United States on Tuesday saw the greatest political battle yet recorded in the history of the world. Led by their noble and honored stand ard-bearers, Grover Cleveland and Adlai Stevenson, and marshalled by a deter mined, firm, resolute and peerless lead er, William F. Ilarrity, of Pennsylvania, assisted by able and faithful lieutenants, under commond of these men, Demo cracy's army has completely routed, we hope forever, the advocates ami defend ers of a plutocratic system of govern ment. = Igp? - HIGHLAND DOTS. On Sunday evening a meeting was held in the school house for the purpose of organizing a literary society here. A temporary organization was effected by electing Thos. J. Boyle as president and John McGill secretary. A committee on ways and means was selected to make laws to govern the society, and get all things necessary for its success. The following is the committee: Patrick Clarke, Patrick Sharpe, Thos. J. Boyle, John Iloyle 2d, John McGill and N. P. Johnson. The committee expects to have everything in readiness before the next meeting. Recitations were given by John McGill and William Gallagher, which were well received by all who were present. Chicken thieves made their appear ance here and opened the season on Fri day night by breaking into the hen coop of Mrs. Peter Mago and stole quite a number of her fowl. Almost every fall this happens in this place and it is about time our citizens should put a stop to it. Election is over now and our boys who were so prominent a few days ago haye come to the conclusion that politics is only a "fake." A large number of people of this place attended the funeral of Manus McGinty at Laurytown .on Saturday. Mrs. Boner, of this place, made a trip to Allentown on Tuesday. Mrs. Patrick Ferry, of Harwood, Bpent a few days with her parents here last week. John Brogan has a child lying danger ously ill for several days past. Max Wagner, of New London, is spending a few days here among friends. It is said there is a scarcity of old men at No. 2 breaker, and that quite a number could find employment there. The loss sustained by John Smith through the burning of his stable on Sunday night was S7O. Mrs. James Brown has a child lying very sick this past week. Another marriage will take place here on or about the twenty-fourth of the present month. The cards are not out yet, but will be next week. The collieries were all idle here on election day. A child of A1 Seitz's, which has been lying dangerously ill, is slowly recover ing. The water which comes through the hydrants here is so bad that quite a number of our people are obliged to carry it from the vicinity of Freeland every evening. "Tailor" Ferry, a former resident of this place, was here on Sunday among friends. In our notes last week it was rumored that Jack McGinnes was going to No, 5. Such is not true, as Jack has no inten tion of leaving this place. ECKLEY CLIPPINGS. The carpenters are very busy at pres ent repairing the houses. This is some thing that was needed very badly to prevent Jack Frost from entering during the winter. Patrick O'Donnell, of Drifton, took in the sights here on Sunday. Misses Mamie Scott and Katie Roberts, of Wilkes-Barre, were the guests of Jno. T. Stranix and wife for a few days last week. Miss Mary McGill, of Freeland, was among the Sunday visitors here.

Daniel Craig and William O'Donnell took in the Democratic rally at Hazle ton on Saturday evening. John Kennedy and his sister Julia, of Rockport, drove through town Sunday. John McDermott, who resided here until about a year ago, when he secured work at Silver Brook, has returned and is working at the stripping. Hugh McGill and James Mcllugh had their hands slightly cut while at work at No. 10 on Friday. Patrick Coyle, who recently removed from Eckley to Silver Brook, spent Sun day among friends and acquaintances. John Monk is confined to his bed with a severe attack of quinsy. Huns are deserting this town rapidly, We're sorry, indeed. Patrick J. Gallagher is laid up with a sprained wrist which he received at the stripping last Thursday. Messrs. King, Dolan&Co., contractors of the stripping, were here looking after their interests last week. Misses Annie O'Donnell and Mary O'Donnell, of Sandy Valley, were visit ing here on Sunday. Quite a number of our townspeople attended the funeral of Manus McGinty at Laurytown on Saturday. Miss Rosie Gillespie, of Buck Moun tain, circulated among friends hero on Saturday. Mrs. Frank McHugh visited her hus band last week. He is an inmate of the Hazleton hospital, and she reports his condition mnch improved. Chas. Harvey, who was injured a few weeks ago at No. 1 slope, is improving slowly. Barney McCauley, formerly of this place but now of Silver Brook, is about to remove his family and household effects to Jeddo. Rev. Father O'Donnell, of Philadel phia, spent a few days among friends here. James J. and Patrick McDermott, of Carbondale, are among the visitors here. George Knyrim, one of oursportsmen, had the pleasure of shooting six rabbits, one quail and two pheasants on Tuesday. | Quite a largo delegation from here took in "Underground" on Monday | evening, and on their way home had the | misfortune to be attacked by an un known party, upon whom tiie effects of overground were played in the usual manner, but nevertheless, our boys re turned home victorious with the excep-1 tion of one who lost his hat and lantern, j Friday evening the moon shone very j pleasantly as one of our noted hunters was returning from his day's sport through the woods. When he arrived at the rear of No. 4 houses a large blnck animal came running through the woods. The hunter got excited, pulled up the hammers of his gun and fired both bar rels at it, thinking it was a rare animal in these parts. Upon suing back to pick up his game he found that he was the murderer of a Hungarian cat. P. J. Tolan resigned his position as clerk in the store hero yesterday and will leave for his home in Wilkes-Barre on Monday. His successors are Mark Campbell, of this place, and James Hoax, of Jeddo.

John Craig is very busy at present putting an addition to his barn. John was an old-time carpenter. John Ileeney has started in the shoe making business, but his tools are yet scarce, as he only lias a hammer and last. Boom it up, John. Twelve more new horses have been purchased by King, Dolan A Co., to work on the stripping here. The new ballot law proved a success in every way. You could hear from every corner the citizens say, there was no corner man to catch you by the shoulder and introduce you to a sticker. I am sorry the corner man must go. There is a Hungarian resid inj? on the upper end of Main street who is in the habit of abusing his wife very often and on Tuesday evening he varied the per formance by putting her out in the cold air after playing John L. with her. He better be careful or the White Caps will serenade him. SUAN. Hurd on tho Beaux. There is nothing that shows BO plainly the mutation of human affairs as the change in the manner of the sunburned maidens who were so lately wont to gambol on the sands or roam the moun tains o'er in their greetings of the youths who on those acted as escorts during those long weeks of Adamless inactivity. In those sultry summer hours how the pretty creatures did their best to spoil the one or two specimens of masculinity that came within their ken! How they feted and pelted the callow fledgelings until the boyish hearts flut tered and the bump of personal vanity developed with alarming rapidity! All now is changed—they meet their one time worshipers on the public thor oughfares and a cool nod is all that in dicates that the fair ones recognize their existence. Sometimes this ceases when a real man is promenading with the fickle summer goddess, and little boy" are looked upon as good enough when there was no one else to practice upon, but I nuisances when there are actually three or four genuine men to pay all homage to the heartless maidens. Well, boys, take courage. Your time is coming, and it will not he so many years before these same autocratic fair ones will not con sider a disparagement in ages any detri ment to matrimonial prospects that are not as flattering as they once were.— New York Commercial Advertiser. Women Arc Morn Intemperate. Intemperance among women is in creasing. The metropolitan police re turns show that there lias been a de cided advance during the last two years in the number of women apprehended for drunkenness. In 1889 the total was less than 3,000; in 1891 it was nearly 8,500. There was a corresponding growth in the number of "drunk and disorderly" cases during the same period. Last year 8,373 women were taken into custody on this charge in London alone. Inquiry of magistrates, clerks, juilers, missionaries, and others whose daily duty obliges them to frequent the met ropolitan police courts and petty ses sions lias resulted in the accumulation of information which unfortunately leaves no room for doubt that the recent magisterial comments upon the fre quency of feminine intoxication are more than justified by the facts. The statements from the bench are corrob orated, too, in other quarters.—London Telegraph. How LegN and Divorce. "Are bandy legs sufficient ground for divorce?" is a question that the courts will soon bo called upon to decide. A few days ago a comely young woman not long married hurst into a Sixtli street lawyer's office and told her tale of woe. But eighteen months ago she had mar ried. The man of her choice was a phys ical beauty and in every way fitted to make an excellent running mate for the lovely lady, but ere long a cloud came over her dream of matrimonial bliss. Her husband became addicted to the horseback habit, and before long this Apollo was transformed into a deform ity. "I really won't be seen with him any more," she said, "because every one says I must have married him for money. "Please, Mr. Lawyer, get mo a di vorce."—Philadelphia Record. Taking I'lenty of Precaution#. "Look at this for a sample of the ef fects throughout the country of New York's unreasonable cholera scare," j Baid a partner in a large wholesale mil- ) linery house yesterday as he showed a ; letter from a woman in the west, a large customer. She wrote, inclosing a check for S3OO in payment of a bill, say ing, "Please don't send a receipt for sev eral weeks, as I don't want to take any j chances of getting the cholera."—New 1 York Times.

Centre and Carbon Streets. llow Some Lazy Fellows Gamble. "Rain gambling" is the latest vice to develop in India, and the police of Bom hay and Calcutta are just now vigor ! ously at work prosecuting rain gamblers in the local courts in an endeavor to show that the law includes this form of gambling. In Calcutta the "outfit" of the rain gamblers is in a street in the burrabazaar. Here into a small tank, four feet square and six inches deep, an ordinary spout discharges rain water from the roof of a three story building. In gambling with this apparatus bets aro (mule at the beginning of the rainy Beason as to whether or not the tank will overflow at a given shower; to the extent the rain will overflow it when the water sheets come down in proper tropi cal style. It is alleged that on busy days in the bazaar several lakhs of ru pees change hands. This is surely vice made easy for the lazy man.—Exchange. Woodchuck for Free Lunch. A newly started saloon on Broadway is making a hid for patronage by means of elaborate Saturday night lunches. During the week the animal or animals that is or are to be served up is or are displayed on the street in front of the j place, either dead or alive. Sometimes it's mutton, then again it's turkey or pig, or something else. Last week it was woodchuck. Five groundhogs four dead and one alive —were on exhibi tion.—Albany Express. This Mechanical Age. At one of the Berlin railway stations a conple of automatic machines, for the delivery of tickets, have been recently introduced. For twopence one of them supplies a ticket to Licliterfelde or Zeh lendorf, and the other retails tickets to Schlachtensee or Wannsee at three pence.—Frankfurter Zeitung. Of hreadstnffs of all kinds we sent abroad almost three hundred million dollars' worth in the year ended with last June, in place of one hundred and twenty-three million dollars' worth in the preceding year.
