FREELAND, PA., JUNE 28, 1894. J
—
What has Congressman J fines j
ever done to deserve <( renomina-
Hon from the Democratic party
OI K SKVENTII V EAII.
With today's issue the Tuiiu nk com
mences its seventh year, having com
pleted four years as A weekly and two as
nsemi-weekly newspaper. The publisher
is pleased to state that its prospects at
the present day are better than they
have ever been before. The Triiilni:
will continue in the course it lias travel
ed in the past, and will be published as
a clean local paper, ever ready AND will
ing to promote the welfare of the com
munity and its people; Democratic in its
principles, but nut the organ or advocate
of worthless men or measuses, I )ur
party ties are not of such a character as
to compel us to support men who are
undeserving or unfit, or who have been
traitors to Democratic platforms.
We gratefully acknowledge the aid
which tlio local public has given the
paper since its start, and we guarantee
that the TAIEFXI; will never fail in its
duty to its friends.
It is a fact long sineo recognized,
but of Intfi frequently emphasized,
tiint under every lest, supreme or
ordinary, the honorable senator from
New York, David Bennett Hill, proves
his right to bo denied a place among i
American statesmen. In all of bis
acts and utterances there is ever in
evidence the politician. At no time
or in no placo does he transcend the
lcvol of partisan leader, in whom tho
demands of party expediency are of
supremer moment than tho welfare of
the nation. Chicago Dispatch.
The movement which promises so
much for tho protection of boys -tho
anti-cigarette crusade—originated in
the p-blic schools of New York and is
becoming national in its scope. Its
object is the creation of a sentiment
against this vice among the boys
themselves by pointing out the evils
which attend ami follow it. Not onlv
is the moral and physical degenera
tion caused by cigarette smoking em
phasized, but also tho serious obstacle
the habit invariably is to a bov's ed
ucation and to a young man's bus
iness career.
J. C. Weigand, the present efficient
prolhonotary, announces that he will
not be a candidate for renomination. In
this we think Mr. Weigand is attesting
the good sense he is said to possess. A
ticket made up of obi officials would not
be a strong card with the voters, and
recognizing this is probably Mr. Wei
gand's refusal to run. It will require
the strongest sort of a ticket to win with
in the coming contest, and the selection
of an entire new set of candidates would
seem to be the proper course to pursue.
—Neictdeaelr,
All right, stick to tho above until
tho convention, and let us have a new
sot of candidates. But the ticket
must be now clean through. If
Ithone, Garman, Weigand anil
O'Boyle are not good enough fur re
nomination, what in the naino of
heaven do the Democrats want with
Hines on tho ticket! Be fair, and
demand the rejection of all office
holders or none.
There is said to be a movement
under way among a number of
Democrats in this county to allow tho
|Hjjf present congressman to be nominated
without opposition, and then "knifo"
BP-'' him on eleetiou day. The TRIBUNE
has indirectly been asked to be a
vlt' party to such a plan, but it is not our
way of fighting in politics. We are
opposed to his renomination and also
to his re-election, and will do all in
our power to defeat him, believing
that a Democratic congressman whose
vote for tariff reform must bo bought
by having his favorites appointed to
office is unworthy of the position.
Iliues voted and acted with tho lie
publicans when the tariff bill came
lieforo tbo house because his man
Oonniff was not appointed revenue
collector. A demogogue of that
sort is too 6mall to represent this
district, but the TRIBUNE will not
ontor into any combination against
-• him that calls for tho mask of hypo
crisy.

THINGS SEEN AND HEARD IN THE
TOWN AND VICINITY.
Matter* of :i Local Nature Written Up
and I*laced Before the Header* of the
••Tribune" by the Saunterer- Something
Here May Interest You*
Hazleton council is looking
about for a better water supply
for that place, and the city en
gineer lias been directed to
make a survey to the Nesco
peck [creek and ascertain the
practicability of procuring
water from there. There is a
large volume of pure water in
both the Nescopeck and Oley
creeks, sufficient to supply the
j needs of any city in the state,
and if taken from the proper
point there is not much danger
of it ever becoming adulterat- j
ed by "sulphur" water from
! the mines or otherwise pol
luted. There is danger, how
over. that possession of it may j
be obtained by some enterpris
ing corporation, and the conse
quence will be that in the
course of ton or a dozen years
every town in lower Luzerne
county will have to pay more j
for water, as the sources of the
present supplies will not give
out enough to meet the con
stantly increasing demand.
The future supply of water for
Freeland, as well as Hazleton,
will undoubtedly come from
the Iloneyhole, and the legis
lators of these two municipali
ties should take prompt steps
to guard that water from being
controlled by any monopoly.
The selection of E. P. Kisner
as postmaster of our neighbor
ing city was generally approv
ed of when it was made, but
since the surprise has worn off
there arc several who do not
appear to be so elated over the
result as was at first supposed.
The friends of the little con
gressman claim for him all the
credit of the appointment, hut
arc unwilling to admit that a
little corporation influence will
ho a handy thing next fall.
As lie made no protest against
Air. Kisner, it must be conced
ed that the selection was pre
! determined and satisfactory to
him, notwithstanding the bait
he held for the others to nibble
at. Such being the case a few
of Hazleton's prominent men
would like to know what was
the cause (or cost) of Hines'
sudden change of feeling.
Hines was known to have no
particular love for Kisner, for
tho latter has been credited by
the congressman with having
helped to roll up the majority
of 03-1 votes that Morgan B.
Williams defeated him by in
1884, when they were oppon
ents for state senator. Hines
at that time, and since, has
boon very bitter against those
who contributed to his defeat,
and to the ordinary mind it
must he evident that the object
is two-fold, for some of tho let
ters he wrote to his friends at
that time called forth every
thing but blessings upon the
heads of Kisner and others.
The defeat lie then sustained
was a hitter blow to him, and
though lie recovered from it
and afterward reached the
goal, it was understood that ho
would repay his enemies with
interest at the first opportunity.
What a grand chance lie had
to repay Kisner? His word, it
is said, is so powerful at Wash
ington that the capitol trem
bles when he protests. Why
did he not speak last week and
dash to the ground the hopes
and ambitions of the man who
worked against him in 1884?
Why? Perhaps I may tell you
later on.
For the first time in several
years the Fourth of July has
failed to arouse Freeland's
patriotism to the extent of
having a local observance of
this great holiday. A number
of the societies have arranged
to take part in the celebrations
elsewhere on that day, and out
side of a few sporting events
the Fourth promises to be a
quiet one. However, it cannot
be said that Freeland is negli
gent in honoring national holi
days. There is no town in the
state where more attention is
paid to such matters than is
done here, and a Fourth with
j out a- demonstration of some
kind will be something un
usual. Saunterer.

TURPIE OF INDIANA.
One of the Democratiu Leaden* In the
United Slate* Senate.
One of tho most popular members of
tho United States senate is David Tur
pic, of Indiana, although his ready
tongue has frequently caused him and '
the democratic party, which he repre
sents, considerable trouble and annoy- ,
ance. The senator is a man of affairs, as
is evidenced l>y the following 1 autobiog- i
raphy, taken from the Congressional
Directory:
David Turple, of Indianapolis, studied
law and was admitted to practice at
Logansport, Ind., in 1849; was appointed
SENATOR DAVID TURPIE, INDIANA. 1
| by Oov. Wright, whom he succeeded In
i the senate, Judge of the court of com
mon pleas in 1851, and was judge of
the circuit court in 1850, both of which
offices ho resigned; in 1855, and also In
1858, he was a member of the legisla
ture of Indiana; In 1803 was elected a
senator in congress for the unexpired
term of Jesse D. bright, and Immedi
ately succeeding Joseph A. Wright,who ,
served by appointment of the gov- ,
ernor; wus elected a member of the
house of representatives of the grand
' assembly of Indiana, served as speaker
of that body, 1874-75; in 1878 was ap
pointed one of the three commissioners
to revise the laws of Indiana, serving
os such three years; in August, 1880,
was appointed United States district
attorney for the state of Indiana, and
1 served as such until March 3, 1887; was
elected to tho United States senate as
a democrat, February 2, 1887, and took
his scat March 4, 1887; was a delegate
at large to the national democratic
convention at St. Louis in June, 1888.
llis present term of service will expire
March 3, 1809.
THE EUROPEAN WAR.
What tho Imnoun Kx-Edltor of La I.an
torne Bay* Altout It.
Henri Rochefort, the celebrated
French journalist, who, since the
Iloulangist trials of 1889 In Paris, has
been living in exile in London, has been
talking to an in tor viewer on the rela
tions between Franco and Russia and
the outlook for war In Europe. "The
German wound is not yet healed," said
he, "so that if war docs break out it
will probably bo on our eastern fron
tier. It was only in view of this that
France sought an alliance with Russia
—an alliunco not yet brought about, it
appears, as our ministers never do any
* thing.
"We have, however, succeeded in
detaching Russia from us by our policy
• of protection carried to its utmost
HENRI -ROCMRFORT.
lmlt, which is approved, as a matter
of course, by our chamber, eomposod
mainly of agriculturists, or their near
relatives, who arc anxious to see the
price of wheat go up. It Is only tho
lower classes in France that desire the
Russian alliance and have brought
about tho good understanding between
France and Russia. The ministers,
since Jules Ferry and Casimir Perier,
always opposed it. Only tho people
saw that help could only come from
Russia. The treaty, as a matter of
fact, Is not yet even outlined. There
is, of course, ft sympathy between the
officers of the Russian army and fleet
and ours that would make it difficult
to prevent the French from assisting
Russia if the latter went to war. This
may not be known to M. Carnot, who
reigns but docs not govern, because no ;
one ever tells him anything."
Snake Swallowed Snake.
When the keeper of tho snake-house
at tho Philadelphia zoo counted tho
slimy reptiles in tho cage reserved for
the indigo species, ho was astonished to
find one missing. lie first counted (
heads and then, with ft pole, he sepa
rated each snake from the mass into
which they had woven themselves, and
still tho most liberal application he
could make of his mathematics revealed
but five snakes where, tho day before,
there were six. np wont for Supt.
Drown, and that scientist discovered
that tho sixth reptile was sleeping his
last sleep In the elongated stomach of
on*; of his cage mates. Investigation
nroved that tho svvallowcr was six feet
iong, while tho swallowed was flvo. 1
Outsido of his increased size the gour
mand was none the worse for yielding !
to his cannibalistic tendencies.
Negro liable* Not Black.
At birth a negro child is of a reddish,
nut-brown color, which turns to a
slaty-gray in tho first week of the
child's exlstenco, and tho black color 1
is not developed for a period varying
from one to three years.
SCIENTIFIC NOTES.
ELECTRIC pianos, which play them
aelves, the keys being depressed us
tin>ugli by some unseen hand, are now
being manufactured.
M. WILPS says that a temperature of
one hundred and fifty-seven degrees
below Zero was registered at Wercko
jansk, Eastern Siberia, in February,
1802. This is the lowest temperature
ever registered on tho facoof the earth.
TESTS recently made in Japan of tho
hat.ling powers of American and Eng
lish locomotives on tho Tolcaido rail
way resulted decidedly in favor of
American engines, and preference will
bo given to them in future.
WE ore told by Prof. Oliver Dodge,
the celebrated physicist, that at tho ab
solute zero of temperature (three hun
dred and seventy-three degrees C. or
four hundred and fifty-nine degrees
Fahrenheit) the moleoules of a perfect
gas would lie so inert that they could
bo swept together in piles on the floor.
THE average weight of tho brain of
an adult male is threo pounds eight
ouncest of a female two pounds four
ounces. Tho nerves are all connected
with it directly or by the spinal mar
row. These nerves, with their branches
and minute ramifications, probably ex
ceed ten million in number.
IT costs about forty-seven hundred
and fifty dollars per shot to fire one of
Krupp's one hundred and thirty-ton
steel guns. The gun cost one hundred
and ninety-five thousand dollars, and
it can only bo fired, at tho most, sixty
times. Tho gun lias a range of fifteen
miles, and tho projectiles weigh twen
ty-six hundred pounds.
A HANOVERIAN botanist named Wch
mcr, it is reported, has discovered a
microbe in tho atmosphere, pure cul
tures of which will convert sugar into
an acid identical with that of the lem
on. This discovery is expected to rev
olutionize the citric acid industry and
injure the lemon growers. Eleven
parts of sugar by the new process,
with very littlo effort, give six parts of
acid.
STATISTICAL.
TnE receipts from internal revenue
for tho past 10 months of the present
fiscal yenr aggregate 8110,140,317, a do
orcase of 813,341,775 as compared with
tho corresponding 10 months of 1803.
OF the 820,805,085 worth of textile
machinery exported by Great llritain
in tho year 1803 only 82,443,820 was sent
to tho United States, pointing to how
well builders of machinery in thiscoun
try supply tho wants of domostlo man
ufacturers of textiles.—Dradstreet's.
Tin: forolgn trade of Japan, accord
ing to a Japanese statistical review, in
creased last year over the year preced
ing 15,000,000 "yen," about 815,000,000.
The entiro export was valued at about
880.000,000. The chief buyer of Japan
ese stuffs Is tho United States, 833,750,-
000 of tho 880,000,000 having been paid
by this country. Great Ilrltaln Is next,
paying 832,000,000; then China, 821,000,-
000, and then Franco, 823,000,000. The
exports to Germany amounted only to
88,730,000. N. Y. Tribune.
TNF, exports of iron and steel from
Great Britain for tho four months to
April 30 show a decided decrease. This
year tho total amount was 772,325 tons,

sponding period of Inst year it was
801,835 tons, valued at £0,881,840; tho
diminution In quantity being 10.4 per
cent., and in valuo 10.1 per cent. There
has been a very large loss this year in
tho exports of railroad material to tho

Closing St. Patrick's Cornet Band
The pupils and others who participated in the
above performed their parts most creditably, show
ing that their instructors have spared neither time
nor labor in developing the talents of tho little ones.
Their drills, marches and songs were rendered in
an entertaining manner, and the work of the music
pupils was of the very best. The programme was
thoroughly enjoyed by all, notwithstanding the dis
comfort caused by heat and the crowded hall.
'Hie school, which has just closed a ten months'
term, had over 400 pupils the past year, and their
work on Tuesday evening gave ample proof of the
excellent education they aro receiving from their
teachers. The method of teaching, and the admir
able system by which the schools are graded,
advances the pupils quickly, as is sliown by those
who graduate easily every year from the normal
schools with only one year's studies in those institu
tions after leaving the parochial school.
