FREELAND, DECEMBER 8, 1892.
HON. TOM L. JOHNSON is being fa
vorably considered as the Democratic
candidate for governor in Ohio, next
fall. The Republicans have decided
to renominate Governor McKiuley,
and a contest between these two
great representatives of absolute free
trade and absolute protection would
be a liberal education to the state of
Ohio. And the chances are that Tom
Johnson would be elected. If so, the
progressive element of the Democracy
would centre upon him for the presi
dency in 1896.
THE following story which has been
making the rounds contains a good
point: A boy who was sent to mar
ket with a sack of roasting ears and
after lingering around town all day
came home without selling them.
When his mother asked him why he
had not sold the corn, he said that no
one had asked him what he had in
the sack. There are many merchants
like that little boy—they fail to tell
what is in their sack. If you expect
to sell goods in this day and age of
the world, you must open your sack
and keep shouting the merits of your
stock in trade. The best medium for
doing so is the local newspapers.
JEKSEY justice was not long in over
taking the two bandits who were
captured last week after successfully
robbing a bank at Allentown, N. J.
Two days after the robbery was com
mitted they were sentenced each to
ten years in prison. This is much
better than the way such matters are
disposed of in Pennsylvania. Here
we keep men in prison a year or so
before giving them a trial, and in the
meantime fanatics take advantage of
the law's delays by working up a
great deal of mawkish sentiment for
the prisoners. When people are
caught in the act, like the New Jer
sey robbers, they should be railroaded
through the courts on the fastest
express.
IT is said that Governor Pattison
will devote a considerable portion of
his next message in pointing out sev
eral weak spots in the ballot law, and
recommending to the legislature some
beneficial changes. The law, at its
first trial last month, worked far bet
ter than its friends or enemieS ex
pected, but there are still a number
of sections that require revision By
abolishing the system of grouping
candidates many voters would feel
more at liberty to split their tickets
without making them illegal, and the
same change would cause the vo'er
to look closely at the name of every
candidate before adding the "X."
However, as the governor is a good
friend of the secret ballot, he will be
expected to look the act up thorough
ly and make only such recommenda
tions as will prove of real benefit to
all the voters.
WHEN the people read the annual
reports of the various departments of I
the state and national governments i
few of them try to form any idea of
the vast amount of money expended j
each year. The head of every bu !
reau comes forward and gives item- \
ized accounts of millions spent for
such and such a purpose, but the
taxpayers seldom take sufficient in
terest in these reports to ascertain
whether the expenses were reduced
or doubled the previous year. The
main cause of this is that the people
do not find themselves payeng money
to the government. Of course, if the
borough or township tax rate is in
creased, they are all aware of the
fact, because they see themselves pay
ing out more cash than previously.
How quickly nine out of every ten
men revolt and begin investigating
when taxes go up? Everybody is
interested in keeping them down to
the lowest notch, and if this principle
did not stop at the borough or town
ship line but extended to the national
government, the officials of the coun
try would find they would have to be
far more economical with the people's
money. By abolishing all kinds of
indirect taxation and laying on taxes
direct without the intervention of
tariffs, etc., every man would know ex
actly to a cent what he contributes to
the support of the government, and
all would take a deeper interest in
the manner in which the iinancos of
the country are handled.
A New Society Leader.
When James J. Corbett was hammer
ing John L. Sullivan in the ring at New
Orleans, and in the expressive language
of sporting men "making a monkey out
of him," Ward McAllister, who had
abandoned all his social duties for that
evening, was sitting in a telegraph office
at Newport reading bulletins and ex
periencing the most exquisite excite
ment.
Would Ward McAllister have done
this if it were not the proper thiug to
do? And if it is the proper thing to do.
haven't all of us who are in society got
to do it, and do it hammer and tongs,
while the craze lasts?
The bruisers and the nose breakers
are the coming society men. Every sign
points that way. Society has been aching
for them for ten years, but it could never
see how it was possible to take them up
without recognizing their leader, Mr.
Sullivan, and there were some insuper
able objections to his eccentricities of
manner. The first and the last time he
Iras invited into society he had an argu
ment with his host and pasted him
in the jaw with his right, then kicking
the table and everything on it into
smithereens.
Now that the pugilists have a leader
of refinement in the person of "Gentle
man Jim," the doors of society will
gradually open to them. Mr. Corbett is
a sample of physical perfection and a
gentleman at heart. His future on the
stage will be devoted to the performance
of society dramas, but it will be in 3well
society itself that he will shine most. He
has always moved in good circles. His
movements in one circle—the prize ring
—have invariably been of the most suc
cessful sort. Why cannot he enter so
ciety and elevate it as he lias elevated
the prize ring?— New York Herald.
Guests Loot a Marquee.
A singular scene, resulting in the de
struction by a crowd of 1,000 people of a
marquee and the looting of provisions,
took place at Ramsey, Huntingdonshire,
on Thursday evening. A grand fete had
been arranged by Lord de Ramsey to
celebrate the return of the Hon. Ailwyn
Fellowes, M. P., for North Hunts.
About 4,000 persons had been invited, in
relays of 1,000 at a time, to a tea, which
was arranged in a marquee in the
grounds.
A shower of rain made the crowd
rush for shelter to the marquee, which
was already full. A scene of inde
scribable confusion ensued. The crowd
made an attack upon the provisions,
waiters were knocked down and a clean
sweep made of the tables, much of the
crockery being destroyed. The caterer
cutting off the supplies, the mob pro
ceeded to the store and wrecked it, de
molishing the provisions. A body of po
lice attempted to disperse the rioters,
but only partially succeeded. Lord and
Lady de Ramsey witnessed the scene
from the balcony of the abbey.—Lon
don News.
Bunting In Never Wasted.
The question, "What is to become of
all this bunting?" has been asked re
peatedly the past few weeks by persons
who appreciate the fact that never be
fore has there been such a profusion of
decorative display in this great metropo
lis. A professional decorator answered
it thus: "Waal, yer see that this 'ere is
only the bt'ginnin of these Columbus
celebrations, and there'll bo plenty of
demand fer these flags and things in the
next six months. Most all of this stuff
which is not private property is already
engaged, and it will be shipped to differ
ent parts of the country. If you will go
over on the east side, where most of the
people did their own decoratin, you will
find men goin about buying up the bun
tin and the shields as cheap as they can.
It'll come in handy in decoratin build
in's in other cities and towns near here.
Some of the big perfessional decorators
near here liev to keep big stocks of ma
terial on hand, and sich things as flags
gets used up mighty quick."—New York
Times.
Volen Attacked by the RacilluH.
The departmental committee appoint
ed by the board of agriculture to inquire
into the plague of voles which is prov
ing so destructive to pastures in the
south of Scotland is communicating
with Professor Loeffler with reference
to the extermination of the pests. Some
doubt having been expressed as to
whether the bacillus which proved so
effective in Greece would destroy the
hardy northern voles, numbers of the
j latter have been forwarded to the pro
fessor in specially constructed cages for
j experiment. Should his experiments be
I satisfactory, he will visit Scotland to
j superintend the arrangements for ex
-1 terminating the voles.—Pall Mall Ga-
I zette.
A Famous Wa Figure Maker.
| The late Joseph Randall Tussaud was
j for thirty years tl e only wax figure |
maker for Mine. Tussaud's collection
in London. During that time he re- I
| ceived encouragement from the Em- ]
peror Nicholas of Russia, the Emperor
Napoleon and other European sover
eigns. His first bust was exhibited at
the academy when he was only fifteen
years old. He was the grandson of the
original Tussand.
The New Cruiser Olymjiiu.
The new protected cruiser that is to be
launched at San Francisco will be named
| the Olympia, after the capital of the
state of Washington. It is equally capi
tal as a name, for the mother of Alexan
der the Great had a fearful temper when
put to it, and that is about what is ex
pected of her latest namesake.— San
Francisco Examiner.
Perhaps there has never been another

men of letters.

Crossing Broadway During a Parade.
An amusing echo of the night pageant,
which is probably only one of thousands
that happened, is that told by a young
business man who resides in the neigh
borhood of Washington square, west of
Fifth avenue, New York, lie occupied
a window in a building on the east side
of Broadway, below Canal street, waited
until nearly 11 o'clock before the head
of the procession reached him, and soon
after gave up his place of observation in
disgust and undertook to reach his resi
dence, as he was thoroughly tired out
with the day's excitement. He saw it
was impossible to cross Broadway at the
point where he had been watching the
parade, so he made a detour and at
tempted to cross over at Canal street,
but did not succeed in breaking through
the police lines there.
Then he went back again to one of the
streets running parallel with Broadway,
walked up and tried without success to
f >rce a passage at Washington square.
Failing again he successively made ef
forts at Union square, Madison square
and at Fifty-ninth street, but to no pur
pose, and finally he walked into Central
park, where he succeeded in so thor
oughly losing himself that it was fully
an hour before he found his way out in
the neighborhood of West Seventy-sec
ond street. He reached home at about
3 o'clock in the morning, but he didn't
go down to the office that morning, for
good and sufficient reasons.
All of this journeying might have
been avoided if he had adopted the
method employed by so many other peo
ple who found it impossible to cross the
line of parade, and took the nearest ele
vated station to South ferry, where they
changed to an up town train on the op
posite side of the city. New York from
the Battery to Central park was as effec
tively divided into two communities as
if separated by an oceata, and if a per
son desired to cross Fifth avenue at
Madison square he was obliged to travel
at least six miles around the lower end
of the city and up the other side of
town to get there.—Brooklyn Eagle.
Could lie Use a Ticket for Ills Own Corpse?
Can a live man travel on a ticket call
ing for a first class passage for a corpse?
This novel question confronts the Santa
Fe road, and the decision will be watched
with interest by other lines. Some weeks
ago Harry Knight, of Denver, was taken
to St. Luke's hospital in this city. His
case seemed hopeless, and his sister in
Denver was so informed. She thereupon
bought a round trip ticket—Denver to
Chicago—for herself, and a "return"
ticket for a body in a casket. She came
here, and an operation was performed
on her brother which proved successful.
He rallied, and so far recovered that he
was able to go home. As a ticket had
been bought and paid for he proposed to
use it, although not, as had been ex
pected, as the occupant of a coffin. He
tried to obtain passage upon the ticket,
but difficulties met him at every point.
The ticket read, "Good for the passage
of one human body contained in a casket
from Chicago to Denver." The "human
body" referred to tendered the ticket,
and the conductor did not know what to
do about it. He finally decided to take
the ticket and to leave the matter for
settlement with the company afterward.
Meantime Mr. and Miss Knight are safe
at home in Denver.—Chicago Letter.
Outdoor Figtt In Muine.
For about four years Mr. E. K. Whit
ney, whose place is about a mile from
Harrison village, has successfully raised
a crop of figs. The figs are when fully
ripe as large as medium sized pears,
and mellow and delicious, not to be told
in appearance and flavor from the
southern grown, and the trees bear
abundantly—from six to eight on a
branch. When Mr. Whitney first began
their culture he would in the fall, by
advice of southern growers, bury the
tree in position by cutting the roots each
side and bending the tree into a trench
prepared for it. By experiment later he
learned that the better method was to
dig up the tree and transplant it to the
cellar. It is quite hardy and will en
dure considerable cold, and is little af
fected by transplanting. In the spring
it is easily set out again. The fruit
ripens quite early in the fall. A cutting
from the tree takes root readily, and
this offshoot comes in bearing during
the second year.—Lewiston Journal.
Tennyson's Dislike of Anecdotes.
It is a curious bit of the irony of fate
that there should now be rife so many
tales and anecdotes of Tennyson. No
man ever disliked such things more
than he. Seldom could he be induced
lo read or to listen to personal incidents
of other great men. It was not that he
felt no interest in them. But the deli
cacy of his nature was supersensitive,
and he shrank from looking into the
private lives of others, just as he had a
horror of others looking into his own
life. Yet half of the literature about
the laureate consists of anecdotes, and
of these a large proportion relates to
( that very dislike of publicity.—New
York Tribune.
A Cold Treatment.
The second son of the czar, the Grand
Duke George, continues His peculiar
course of treatment for pulmonary dis
ease. In accordance with his physician's
theory that a low temperature tends to
destroy the consumption bacillus and to
prevent the growth of tubercles, the
room of the royal patient is unpapered
and bare, the mattress on his bed thin,
and the fires moderate in the coldest
weather. The progress of the disease is
said to have been checked, but his at
tendants suffer extremely from the cold.
-—Harper's Bazar.
A New African Sugurrane.
The new variety of sugarcane reported
from the upper Niger is of gigantic size
and very rich in sugar. Moreover, it
differs from.the ordinary sugarcane in
possessing seeds, from which the plant
can be raised. The discovery conlirnis
j the supposition of botanists that the
common seedless sugarcane, now cnlti-
I vated from slips, is descended from a
wild flowering and seed hearing cane.—
London Globe.
j Selling Smoked Glass for the Eclipse.
I Few citizens in Brooklyn had appar
ently provided themselves with means for
viewing the recent eclipse, and when the
tnoon began to move across tho sun's
face there was a running hither and
! thither for colored glasses in the bnsi
; ness part of the city in the neighborhood
|of the city hall. On one of the corner. 4 -
, a young man was heard to cry:
I "This way for your smoked glass!
j Five cents apiece!"
| He was immaculately clad in Prince
| Albert coat, fashionably cut trousers,
new kid gloves and patent leather shoes,
while his head was surmounted by a
glossy silk hat.
It was not long before he had all the
business he could attend to and lie
smoked bits of window glass over a
candle and passed them off like hot
cakes, his singular appearance height
ening his trade to a remarkable degree.
He was imperturbable when guyed by
the street arabs, and in a short time his
pockets bulged with nickels.
After the man in the moon had kissed
farewell to the western limb of the sun
the young man kicked the candle into
the gutter and strolled around the cor
ner. He was seen to meet another
young man, who wore a dejected air,
and who proceeded to place sundry bills
of large denomination in the vendor's
outstretched palm.
"Didn't think you'd the sand to do it
or I wouldu't have bet," said the de
jected. The other only grinned and re
marked, "Come on up to the club and
I'll open a bottle." They went off arm
in arm.—New York Herald.
Tlio Crowd at Chicago.
Chicago has done well, and it is only
fair that the fact of nonextortion should
be recognized and universally known.
That overpressed hotels should raise
their prices was to have been expected
but that they should have been as com
paratively moderate as they have is to
their credit. They have charged very
high rates, but they might have charged
and obtained rates very much higher.
The chief extortion has been by the
hackmen, but in view of the fact that
there were a half dozen men after each
vehicle the excess may be very properly
set down to the fault of our common
nature.
What will be the fate of the people
who imagine it to be wise and desirable
to be here when the fair is first opened
imagination fails to paint. Dignitaries,
correspondents and exhibitors must be
here when the doors are opened, but it
is dollars to cents the fair will not be
here for a good month thereafter, yet
experience warrants the prophecy that,
as half of the million strangers came to
town to try and see dedicatory ceremo
nies, double that number will be here to
participate in the wild and comfortless
rush at the opening ceremonies next
May.—Howard's Chicago Letter.
Why the King of Greece Mourn*.
The king of Greece has just lost a little
dog which he came by in rather a curi
ous way. He was at some maneuvers
a number of years ago, standing amid
his staff, when it suddenly made its ap
pearance, no one knew whence, and
stationed itself at the king's feet. All
attempts to dislodge it were fruitless,
and it remained there until the end of
the review. When the king went to his
carriage the little dog walked in front
of him, "as proud as Punch," with his
tail erect, and scrambled first into the
carriage before any one could say him
nay. Arrived at the palace he darted in
first, and insisted on remaining with the
king. His majesty, who is slightly super
stitious, said the dog's persistency was a
good omen; that at any rate he had one
faithful friend, and from that time for
ward it slept in his bedroom and scarce
ly ever left him. It was a most super
cilious little dog, and would never take
notice of any one except the king, whom
it seemed to idolize. The dog died the
other day, much to the sorrow of its
master.—London Graphic.
A Fifteen-root Shark in tiie Ohio.
A fresh water shark was one of the
curiosities seen by fishermen in Jeffer
son ville (Ind.) harbor. For several days
the fish, which is estimated to he fifteen
feet in length and to weigh SOU pounds,
has destroyed great numbers of porch,
buffalo and channel cat caught on trot
line hooks. Wednesday morning the
shark nipped a twenty pound perch
which had been caught on one of the
hooks of a trotline opposite the city, and
destroyed one-half of the fish at the first
bite. Returning for the remainder, it
swallowed the hook, and when an at
tempt was made by a fisherman to run
the line the shark splashed the water
similar to the way a young whale would.
The shark is described as having a
mouth like an alligator, teeth two
inches long, and a nose resembling a
pugdog.—Cor. St. Louis Globe Demo

Ice Made with GHH.
A Canadian living at International
Bridge, Out., makes a remarkable an
nouncement. He has discovered a meth
od of making artificial ice by the use of
common illuminating gas. After use
the gas may bo returned to the mains
uninjured as far as its illuminating
qualities are concerned, not being de
teriorated in the least. Experiments
made at tho gas plant at International
Bridge gave a temperature of 80 degs.
below zero—this with the use of gas and
water alone, no chemicals of any kind
having been added to the solution.—St.
Louis Republic.
M. Zola has just received the highest
