FREELAND, PA., JANUARY 10, 1893. TUE Kepublican papers of Phila delpliia have a habit of making fre quent allusions to Tammany's alleged misrule of New York, but they haven't bqen saying much for a month or so past. They are so astounded at the gigantic combination of corruption and fraud in their own town that they tind it good policy not to throw stones for awhile. The set of jobbers that cousti ute the Philadelphia Building Commission could give eveu Tweed lessons in wholesale robbery of the people Philadelphia may be slow in some respects, but it must be ac knowledged that the old Quaker town is no novice in raising crops of mil lion-dollar boodlers. NEW JERSEY officials do not take much stock in what McLeod or even what the Jersey Central mangers say The report that the latter company had withdrawn from the combine, af ter being ordered to do so by the court, was welcome news, but it was soon offset by McLeod's swaggering remarks about "fixing things all the same." When the Central and Read ing people got together and made another "arrangement" concerning prices and production the Jerseymen were again after them with their stick, and for violating the court's order a receiver will be appointed for the Central, so that the state will be positive that its instructions are being carried out. A little more Jersey blood in Penu ylvania officials would make known the fact to McLeod & Co. thai there is also a constitution and laws here. IT is a well known fact that Cleve land is a warm friend and a sincere advocate of civil service reform, as was shown by his axtension of the service to the postoffice department daring his term. Harrrison was scarcely inaugurated when he revoked this order, and for nearly four years he and his subordinates have been filling the postal service, including mail agents, letter carriers, etc., with men of his own party. Now when his administration is drawing to a close, he has the audacity to reissue the Cleveland order and place several thousand Republicans under the civil service law. Harrison was responsi ble for enough without adding this act of partisan bigotry to bis record, and Cleveland would be doiug noth ing more than justice, and at the same time would administer a needed rebuke to his narrow-minded prede cessor, if he will revoke this ordei after his inauguration. DURING last week Washington was overrun with church people from every part of the couutry. They were there to protest agaiust the proposition to change the law regard ing the Sunday closing of the World's fair, and if talk will have any effect upon congressmen it is very proba ble that the exhibition will be closed. The arguments brought forth by some of the opponents of Sunday opening was that the fair would draw the crowd away from the Chicago churhes. This does not speak very well for the churches, to say the least. If religious sentiment is so dead that all places must be closed in order to get people to church, then it is time to pass a law compelling people to go. It is but one step farther than the Sundayites have already gone, and not nearly as far as some would like to go. A curious class these must be who would compel the hundreds of thousands that will be in Chicago every Sunday to pass their leisure time in the concert halls, theatres and saloons rather than let them view a silent exhibition. Some of the kinds of religion that is preva lent in the nineteenth century needs reforming very much. When Baby iu nick, wo paro her Castor!*.' When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria.

ISUNE'B Medicine AIOVBH th I(owln Kach J>uy. In order to be bc&Jthy this la nMOMMT* Stump Speaking in the West. It is a report highly creditable to the good sense and intelligence of the rural American voter —the paper in The North American Review, in which Mr William Dudley Foulke records his experience as a political campaigner in the west He says what is certainly true —that it is easy to make the unlettered understand any question of politics if the speaker has the gift of putting it in plaiu. simple language. That is the orator's highest gift. The colloquial style is the best. Mr. Foulke tells us; but rant, noise, de clamation and stale jokes are of the past It is things to think about that the peo ple want now—not stories to tickle their humorous sense. Once Mr. Foulke was at a political meeting at which Senator Sherman spoke. He made no attempt at orator ical display What he said was clear, quiet and simple. The audience listened to him with attention, but applauded i him very little. He was followed by an orator who told a great number of com monplace stories and was uproariously applauded. But Sherman was the man who gained the votes. Strangely enough, Mr. Foulke, who has spent half his life east and the other half west, believes that the western man— 'the plain looking farmer and mechanic" —understands the economic questions of politics better than the eastern man The eastern man will detect an error in grammar sooner, but the western man a flaw in argument first. He commends especially the farmers and mechanics of Indiana for their intelligence. But these intelligent people ought to have the grammar too Open air meetings make the greatest show, but indoor meetings are the ones that convince the voter Especially encouraging are the following evidences of the uew departure in polit ical methods The professional story teller Is at a discount. An apt Illustration Is always In place, and it to be, but a speaker who goes through the country today tolling of the Republican pup which has Its eyes open and the Demo cratic pup which has its eyes closed will not win votes, even If he gets the whoops and plaudits of the boys and torch bearers in Ills j audience. Most disastrous of all In the abusive I speaker, the man who Insists that all Repub- | licann are boodlers or that all Democrats are ; imps of helL Personalities, unless they be the mere recital of clearly proved facta In the po- j iitical records of the men assailed, are most I unfortunate. Vituperative epithets are worHe I than useless. The facts must speak for them selves. There lias been a great deal of satire wrltton 1 and believed regarding the absurd arguments which have sometimes succeeded in influenc ing the verdict of a Jury in a trial at law or In influencing the Judgment of the multitude In , the trial of political issues. Undoubtedly per- J sonal. local and political prejudices cannot bo ignored, but with the spread of general intelli gence these factors become constantly of less account. Political speakers often think that they have to descend to the comprehension of their hearers, when, in point of fact, the good sense of the men who listen is quite as great as that of the man who addresses them. A Beautiful Old Ago. A little time ago there died at Putnam, j Conn., Mrs. Diana Douty, aged almost I 103. Other people have flved nearly or quite to her age in these closing years of the Nineteenth century often enough to indicate that the average of human life is lengtheningas mankind grow cleanlier and kindlior But the one fact that is remarkable in connection with this venerable woman is that she kept all her faculties unim paired up to the time of her death. It was not then disease that took her off. She seemed simply to go when her time came "as quietly and serenely as a flower closes its petals at the close of day." So every human life should close, painlessly and without the decay of any of the mental powers. So it will close 1 when mankind are fully civilized. Mrs. Douty had remarkable physical I health to begin. She had never been 111 until a year ago, when she had the grip, j This physical constitution might have given her the great longevity But there was another cause which kept her young as the years went by She was a woman of bright, cheerful disposition. Her tem per was very gentle and calm. An at mosphere of content and good will ema nated from her and drew toward her the kindly feeling of everybody who knew her. She wus helpful to all and be loved by all. The pain, the insane pas sion, the shriveling anxiety that burn away the nerve forces and age men and women seem to have had no hold upon Diana Douty. The state that will hold the balance of power in 1993 is most likely Texas. This state has in her own borders every climate, shading off from north temper ate to tropical. Ttie agricultural prod ucts of every other state can be grown in Texas, from wheat to bananas. Toxas has fifty-seven counties that are each larger than Rhode Island. Her area is as great as that of all New England, with New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl vania. Indiana and Ohio added. She has besides a long sweep of seaboard with cities and harbors. In a hundred years all this vast region will bo fully settled. Think of the congressmen that Texas will furnish then! Let us think of our mobs, riots and lynchings and hang our heads. There is one tiling the people of localities where such crimes against law and order are committed should fully understand. A region whore mob instead of law reigns cannot become prosperous. The decent people who build railroads, churches and school houses and by their industry add to the prosperity of a community will shun the mob Infested regions as they would a cholera hospital as a place of residence. Electric lights, waterworks, colleges and throngs of well to do, intel ligent people will never be found in the same atmosphere with lynch law and moonshine whisky. Colonel Ingersoll says that, on the i whole, cannibalism was the best way I man ever had of living off his fellow man. France Is believed really to have the i most powerful army in the world. But ! has it any general great enough to ! lead it? What is the American national bird? The turkey. What is the American na- i tioual flower? The corn tassel. This emblem of our greatest agricultural product is as graceful and picturesque an object as art can lay hold of for dec orative purposes. Let us see it used for such at the World's fair, carved in wood and stone and painted in wavy, shining luxuriance upon doors, frescoes and panels. The Congregational churches of Eng land and America celebrate this year a tragic and striking tricentenary. Their church, built upon the principle that each congregation shall be independent and manage and control absolutely its own affairs, selecting always its own pastors, was really founded in 1506. A number of persous were confined in Bridewell prison, London, for heresy. In their prison they organized the first Congregational church. In 1592 another congregation was established in London. Several of these heretics and comeouters paid for their temerity with their lives. Early in 1593 the pastor of the church and three or four of its members were hanged for saying there was another way to heaven than through the Church of England. But the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church, and it proved to be so of the Congregational church. While the Congregationalists of 1893 solemnly commemorate the 300 th anni versary of martyrdom, they will find in the present and the future reason only for rejoicing and hope. How to Get Good Iloads. It cannot be done unless the state gov ernments co-operate in away to insure uniform effort and expenditure. Per haps the best way would be to utilize the national government to the extent of attaching a professor of road engineer ing to the agricultural experiment sta tions in each state. Bulletins on the best way to make a smooth, hard road would be as profitable as those about the locust borer or the chinchbug. At any rate, it does not matter how the informa tion is circulated, just so the farmer gets it percolated through his brain that he loses in actual cash hundreds of dol lars a year because of that horror—the mud road. it has been suggested that the state agricultural colleges should take the matter up and add to their courses of study a department in which roadmak | ing is thoroughly and scientifically | taught. The young farmers who took j the roadbuilding course along with I their scientific agriculture could then ' go out and become road supervisors to some purpose. There is so much inter est in this vital subject that one may hope Americans are actually awakening from their Rip Van Winkle sleep by the roadside. Mr Isaac B. Potter's maga zine. Good Roads, is gaining a fair cir- I dilation. In Michigan a reduction of naif their road tax is given to teamsters who use broad tires. St. Jackson's Day. Nothing could possibly exceed the sat isfaction with which Democrats in gen eral celebrated the seventy-eighth anni versary of the battle at Now Orleans, Jan. 8,1815, in which the British General Pakenham was killed and the British were finally beaten and driven off by the indomitable Andrew Jackson. The main reason for celebrating Gen eral Jackson each year may be his great victory over the British, or it may be his equally great historic saying, "To j the victors belong the spoils." However 5 that may be, the Btb of January is in teresting alike to the Democratic politi cian and to the student of history. It really was a great victory, that which Jackson won at New Orleans. To at least 12.000 of the best soldiers in the British army Jackson could only oppose perhaps 6,000 militia from Kentucky Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana To these states belong the glory of Jack son's victory. Their regiments of hunt ers were excellent marksmen. It is par ticularly Interesting to note, too, that among these valiant fighting men there was a battalion of negro soldiera The colored people, therefore, have a right to join in celebrating Jackson's Day. Their race helped to win the victory Then after the battle was all over and hundreds of brave British soldiers lay dead upon the field, among them half the men of the splendid Ninety-third Highland regiment, Jackson gave orders for the burial of those who had fallen. The British were peniiifted to bury all 4helr own men who lay beyond a certain distance from Jackson's intronchments. Those within that distance were buried by the American soldiers themselves. After all was over an incident oc curred which shows that brave men are always generous. The British command er was surprised at receiving from Gen eral Jackson, under flag of truce, a pack age containing the watches, swords and epaulets of those of his officers who had been buried by the Americans. A cour teous note from General Jackson re quested that the articles bo handed over j to the families of the inon who had fallen, j In this case, at least, the victor did not | keep the Rpoils nor allow his followers to to keep them. For this all of us—Demo crats, Republicans, Populists and Pro hibitionists—join in honoring the mem ory of Old Hickory. Not Superstitious. Uncle Job Mcintosh, an elderly negro 1 who lived not many years ago 011 one of the Georgia sea islands with his wife Hannah, used frequently to rebuke his wife for her "slooperstiahin." "Yo's a heap too slooperstisliis, Harnah," ho would say. "Why am' you done obsarve me, ole 'oinau? Yo' am' nebbor seen me min 110 slooperstishin. Dcy ain' no dog howlin wot kin skeer me; dey ain' no black cat wot kin make me beleobo dat I'ze g'an fer to die!" Aunt Hannah paid no attention. She | was accustomed to let Job assert his su- 1 porior virtues without contradiction, be ing quite aware that he was no better nor wiser than his fellows. The very night after this positive as sertion on Job's part of his independence of superstitions Aunt Hannah was sud- 1 denly taken very ill with cholera mor bus. Job, after satisfying himself that her case was really alarming, set out ; just at Bunrise to fetch the doctor. He was just making his way in a de pressed frame of mind through the path overgrown with wild orange and jas- j mine that leads from his cabin to the boat landing. His eyes were upon the | ground. Suddenly he became aware that some object was confronting him on the path and he looked up with a start. There standing facing him was a big black cat, its glossy back arched, its tail erect and swollen to what seemed an ex traordinary size, and its golden eyes glittering in the light of the rising sun. It was merely some wandering tabby of largo size returning from a night's foray and startled by Job's quick approach in to making a bold show of resistance, but ' to the negro's dazed eyes it was an aston- 1 ishing and terrible object. Job threw up both hands and screamed: " 'Tain't me. Marse Satan! 'Taiu't me dat's sick, 1 tells yo. It's my ole 'oman Harnah dat yo come fer 'Tain't me. Marse Satan!" Jack Tolliner. on his way to the rice plantation, came up just at this moment and took in the whole situation, and while the cat turned and ran off through the jungle. Jack laughed long and loud at Job's fright.—Youth's Companion. What*# In a Name? He was a small boy traveling with hie father and mother on a train, and the way in which he war whooped up and down the car aisle made him a terror to the other passengers. "Sit Btill," said his father in a foghorn voice; "how can I hear myself think when you're making such a racket?" "There, there, Johnny, dear, you dis turb pa," said his fond mother. But the infant terror kicked and cried and refused to keep one position a sec- ( ond at a time. "I'd like to have the raisin of that j boy—l just would," said a sharp fea- 1 tured woman who had her knittiug j along. "I wouldn't mind having a hand in it | myself," said a man who was regarding the youngster with murder in his eye. "Sit still, Johnnie, dear," said his moth er placidly for the 900 th time. "Why don't you call him John? He might pay more attention to you then." said liis father crossly. "What's in a name?" asked the mother. ' "By any other muno he would be our Johnny still." "Then for heaven's sake give him an other name," retorted his pa. "for he ' hasn't been still a moment with the one | he has." Then he plugged his ears with cotton 1 while the other passengers encored liis last remark.—Detroit Free Press. Astronomy and Thotoip-apliy. Modern astronomy is more deeply in debted to the science of photography than the average reader may imagine. Without the aid of the camera and the ! perfect viewH it has given us of the ' bodies "far out in space" our knowledge of celestial geography in the latter part of this the grandest of all the centuries, would be meager indeed. When, where ' or by whom the camera was first point- ; ed skyward with the intention of photo- j graphing a planet, or even a whole sec- ; tion of the star spangled canopy which envelops our little world, I will not attempt to say, but the grandest of all such undertakings is that which ; has been inaugurated and partially ; carried out by the astronomers and scientific photographers of the world j during the past two years. Some mas ter mind conceived the idea of mapping the entire sky—of making a bypath chart of the heavens, as it were. This idea when fully matured was commu nicated to others interested in that par ticular branch of science, and tho result was an agreement that a celestial atlas should be made.—St. Louis Republic. Animals In the Rain. Horses and cattle never look so miser- ! able as when standing exposed to cold I and driving rain. Every field in which cattle are turned loose should have some looso shelter provided, however rough and hardy the stock. If left to them selves in a state of nature they would travel railes to some well known bank or thicket, which would at least give cover against the wind. Shut up be tween four hedges, they are denied aliko the aid of human forethought and of their own instinct. Bewick's vignettes of old horses or un happy donkeys, huddled together in driving showers on some bleak common, express a vast amount of animal misery in an inch of woodcut.—London Spec tator. __ Knew tho Species.

"When does the ghost walk?" inquired a new actor of the treasurer of a pros perous company. "It doesn't walk at all," responded the treasurer; "it rides. How much do you i want?"—liichanga All from Reading a Novel. There are two men in this city who are thoroughly convinced that much good may come out of the perusal of flashy novels. They have been sojourn | ing in state prison for the last five years I —one in Sing Sing and the other in Au burn. A day or two before Thanksgiv ing they returned to their respective homes free men. The governor had be | come satisfied that they were innocent , men, wrongfully convicted, and had pardoned them. The reading of a flashy novel by one I j of the convicts while lounging in the corridors of the prison led to an investi- I gation which convinced a great many influential persons in this city that two men had been railroaded to prison—one j for fifteen years and the other for eight- j een years—simply because of lack of proper legal defense. The reader of the I novel was so impressed by the exu- ' I berant sentiment that trickled through the narrative that he made up his mind ; that the authoress, for it was a woman's j story, must be very soft hearted. I He therefore lost ao time in sending I her a written statement of his case, with ! I an appeal to aid him in securing his lib erty. The story touched the heart of ! the novel writer, and she supplied the necessary money to have a complete in vestigation of the case made by an em inent New York lawyer. The active in terest of a New York newspaper man was also enlisted, and a good deal of hard work was done within a few months. The producer of lurid novels j forgot her calling in her enthusiastic ! light for justice, and it is safe to say that the two liberated men will never , be found in the ranks of those who tr at her stories with contumely.—New York Times. For the Greater l ulled States. At a mteting of the South Norfolk Liberal association 011 Saturday there ! was an almost unanimous expression of opinion in favor of the political union of Canada with the United States. Fol lowing upon the resolution passed by the Liberals of the town of Simcoe on the previous day this event indicates a drift of public sentiment which it would be useless to ignore or belittle. Poli ticians of the small sort may try to make capital out of the fact that these declara tions were made by Liberal conventions. It would be easy to point out, on the other hand, that two of the leaders in the annexationist movement, Mr. Solo mon White, M. P. P., and Mr. T. M. White, secretary of the Political Union association, are Conservatives, and that a majority of tho signers of an annexa tionist document published in this city I are of the same political faith. —Toronto I Globe. Flcvittrd Electric Railway. j A syndicate of engineers has applied | for the privilege of constructing an el j evated railroad in Paris to be operated by electricity.

The central part of this ronte will be reserved for the elevated line, which will havo two tracks resting 011 four j rows of iron columns twenty-three feet in height. The projected line will con- I nect with the Metropolitan railway and 1 with the important lines which already exist. —Electrical World. Kulloro* Trousers In Science. A sailor's trousers are tlie foundation on which the learned Professor Heilprin, of the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences, rests liis theory that the north pole can lie discovered, and that within a few years. This garment was the property ! ; of a seaman whose ship entered the ! arctic regions by Beliring sea. Some how the apparel got into the ocean enr j rent, was swept away up toward the pole and finally came down along the I shore of Greenland, where it was dis- ! covered. A ship, argues Professor Heil prin, can go where these trousers have been. And it is a fact that an expedition is going to start from Norway in the j spring of 1593 to try it.—Boston Journal.
