In less than six more weeks election day will be here, and the political orators haven't yet been around to tell about their party's great love for the workingmen! This is valuable time they are wasting, and somebody should relievo the quietneso of the campaign. Luzerne county should have none but able men in the district attorney's chair. Criminals too often escape punishment for their crimes in this large county because tho prosecutor is incompetent and unlit to direct the case. In P. A. O'l3oylo the Demo crats oiler to the voters one of the best and brainiest lawyers of the bar in northeastern Pennsylvania. His experience and record as assistant district attorney is sufficient assur ance that he is the proper man for that important ofiice. Under the very appropriate title of "Tho I 'art h, W hose Is It?" the Le liighton Advocate is treating its read ers to several bright and we'll written letters upon the injustice of allowing land to be held as private property without returning to the government some equivalent for such monopoly of nature's greatest gift to man. The author, in writing upon this subject from the Christian and moral stand point, introduces many new and re freshing arguments to substantiate the conclusions arrived at. It is continuous efforts that pay iu advertising as in everything else. A business man doesn't keep bis store open one week in the month or three months in the year. Still, if he ad vertises that way, that is tho impres sion peoplo will get. People are very forgetful. They have to think pretty hard to remember the vico presiden tial candidate two campaigns back, and yet ho was advertised all through tho nation at the time. It Ims been truly said that the time to advertise is all the time. Iu business there is no such thing as standing still. A business man must go forward or he will fall back. The railroaders of Luzerne county are going to take a hand in the elec tiou this fall, und a better crowd of hustlers cannot bo found in the ranks of labor. They are going to elect their fellow worker, John H. ltice, the brave engineer who stood up for them in their battle against the Lehigh Valley Lailroad, and who is now blacklisted throughout the country for his active work in their behalf. W'hatevor else may be said of rail roaders, they cannot be accused of ingratitude, and their appreciation of Lice's sacrilice will he shown by tho majority which ho will receive as the next clerk of the courts. Tho admission of free bituminous coal to this country would be ono of the greatest blessings for tho anthra cite miners of Pennsylvania. It would break up tho combinations that exist iu both the bituminous and an thracite trades, and that would give operators a chance to run their col lieries to their fullest capacity. When tho free coal section of the Wilson bill was before tho house Lilly Hiucs howled for protection to the miners of his district. A lot the coal com bine cares about tho miners when it restricts the output as it pleases, thereby throwing the miners out of work; but it (loos care for such staunch supporters of special privil eges as Lilly Hiues, the workingmen's "fake" friend. There are not many congressional districts where protectionists have the luck of those in tho welfth (Luzerne). Whether the victor liore will be Ilines or Leisenring, proctec lion is sure of a friend in either of the men The only difference in the can didates is that the llepublican nom inee openly acknowledges his princi ples, while tho man on the Demo cratic ticket is too cowardly to come out and ask support upon his record in tho session of congress that recent ly closed, but hides behind the county platform of tariff reform and intends to bamboozle Democratic voters once more. Ilines' record is that of a radical protectionist who voted with tho party that elected him only when he saw his vote would not alter tho result. This charge cannot be dis proved, aud the question of electing Leisenring or Hines is not ono of tariff, but of honesty vs. dishonesty. A POWERFUL CARDINAL. Tho Groat Jacobin!, Who Kay Somo Day Bo Popo. Chief of tho Holy Propaganda—At lis Head Ills Sway Is Inferior Only t That of Leo Himself—A Morning Audleueo. A prelate of the Roman Catholic ; church, who is certain to ho heard of 1 in a conspicuous way in the event of | the death f Leo XIII., which is now a : matter of a very short time, is Cardinal I Jacohini, secretary of the propaganda at Rome, and the main executive offl- | cer In charge of the vast army of mis- j sionnriesof the Roman Catholic church : working in every part of the world, north, east, south and west. Nominal ly the head <{ the propaganda is Cardinal Simeoni, but Cardinal Jnco biui is the real head of the great or- j ganization. The offices of Cardinal Jacobini are daily thronged by the most motley crowd that may be seen in any court of Europe, or of any country, for that matter. It was my fortune to be pres ent when Cardinal Jacobini was receiv ing visitors one morning not long ago, and it gave me a better idea of the cosmopolitan character of the Roman Catholic church than I had ever had before, writes a New York Advertiser correspondent. Nearly all of those who waited upon the great cardinal were mission priests. There were Capuchin monks, mitred abbots, black-robed Jesuits and white gowned Dominicans. There were mis sionaries with dark faces und long licards, who appeared like seini-babar i;vi\s, beside some of the well-groomed mi >ion priests from America, England and elsewhere. There were bishops and priests from the far east, from Japan, China, Corea and India, where the missions of the Roman Catholic church, like those of other denomina tions, work under great difficulties. The man who dominates all these does his work as quietly an l methodi cally as though lie were a business man regulating the movements of his clerks. He may be detailing mission priests to duty in Patagonia, Alaska, Japan or Brazil, but there is no fuss or noise. Obedience is the first law here. There may be heart burnings at times; there may be the stifling of cherished ambitions, but there is no murmuring. The cardinal himself, and there are chose who say he may be pope yet, is w zj -'A CARDINAL JACOBINI. personally one of the most amiable of men. lie is comparatively a young man for one in his position, for he is not yet 50 years of ago. This college of the propaganda was established in 1029, and to be its controlling agent is the ambition of most of the prelates at Rome. It is the highest of honors next to that of pope and papal secretary of state. Cardinal Jacobini ranks with the ablest men who have ever held the office. In appearanco Cardinal Jacobini is of about medium height, and is inclined to be stout. Though dark of complex ion he looks less like an Italian than do some other of his brother cardinals —Rampolla, for instance. Cardinal Jacoblni's face is round and jolly, and he does not look the stern discipli narian that he is said to be. lie is an especial friend of the pope, as ho be longs to tho liberal wing of the col lege of cardinals that has always sup ported Pope Leo in his policy of prog ress. Cardinal Jacobini has a wider acquaintance with Americans than any of his fellow cardinals, for it is to him that visitors to Rome must apply in order to inspect the wonderful library of tho propaganda that is a repository of literary and other treasures surpassing even the British museum, and which has a poly glot printing department that is worth traveling to Rome to inspect. It was at Cardinal Jacoblni's instance that ono of the chief treasures of this li brary was sent to the Chicago fair. This was the famous map of the world traced by Pope Alexander VI. In ad dition, in the museum there arc collec tions of coins, of birds, insects, trophies of arms from all parts of the world. All those things, with the superinten dence of the 300 students at the college, come directly under the authority of Cardinal Jacobini, so it follows that he ; is a busy man. There is a strong party about the Vatican who favor Cardinal Jacobini us Pope Leo's successor, partly because of his youth and partly because of his ability, liberality of thought and ami ability of character. If he himself is ambitious to fill the place of Leo he has not shown it. The office is not one to bo refused, but seemingly Cardinal Jacobini i not concerning himself about it. lie is young, and his positon !as it is, is a powerful one, so if the > chair of Peter be occupied by some other, lie can afford to wait. But as pope that may be or as chief executive officer of the propaganda, Jacobini is easily ono of the prominent men of the day, and one likely to be I heard from in the future.

Tho A bio Men Who Are Now InvoHtlgat lug tiio Dobs Boycott. The commission appointed by tho president to investigate the recent rail way strikes will, Leslie's Weekly thinks, command public confidence as well qualified for the important work assigned it. Mr. Carroll D. Wright, tho national commissioner of labor, who is a member of the commission by positive requirement of the statute under which it Is created, is widely known for his judicial temper and ex ceptional knowledge of the labor ques tion. Mr. John L>. Kcrnan, of New York, another member of the commis sion, is a lawyer of ability and high integrity, and was for a time a mem ber of the railroad commission of tho state. The third member of the board of inquiry, Judge Nicholas E. Wonth ington, of Illinois, is regarded as one of the ablest lawyers of his state, and is said to have given a good deal of at tention to the study of economic questions. It is fortunate that the board has be gan its work with the confidence of both parties to the controversies which UNITED STATES LABOR COMMISSION. have lately disturbed the public peace and so seriously menaced the public welfare. While its power is necessarily limited, and it cannot enforce the de cisions it may arrive at, it can elicit und give to the public in an authorit ative way the precise facts in the case committed to it.-s consideration; and this will be a real gain in any future consideration of the general question of strikes, their relation to the public, and the relative limitations of labor and capital. Tho board has no authori ty to inquire officially into the Pullman strike, and this is to be regretted, since it is highly desirable, in view of the contraditory statements which have been given to tho public as to tho conditions out of which that particular strike was evolved, that something in the nature of un official expose, based upon a calm and exhaustive inquiry, should be had as a basis of just and Intelligent public judgment. rueful In Cholera.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Ilall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts direct ly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on tin* mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two in-1 grcdients is what produces such wonder ful results in curing catarrh. Send for i testimonials, free. F. J. CIII;NKY J:('O., Props.,Toledo,o.

Rubens and De Quesada, have left sur reptitiously for Mexico. They had bought their tickets secretly the night before. Even after they had bought their railway transportation they gave out j to the press that they would not leave ! here for several days. Gen. Ezeta was to stay in San Francisco for a week, and the attorneys said they would not depart till next Wednesday, whin they would leave direct for New York. The general, his servants and the two N \v York attorneys quietly left the hut I in a carriage an hour before the regu lar time of departure of the train. They crossed to the Oakland pier ahead of the reguar passengers and sought the privacy of their sleepers. Those who some days ago obtained an inkling of the subjects.of the tele- I grams flying between here and Mexico say they gathered that the consolida tion of all Central America with Mex ico was being considered. Further more, that Ezeta's intention was to raise an army there and proceed at once to oust his enemies. Whether it was to regain possession of Salvador only or to effect a union of some sort, of which he has long dreamed. Is not known, but there is little boubt that It Is one or the other. He has not hastened away for nothing. Gen. Colieo left hero on the 10th Inst., and went straight to Mexico City. Ho nt once; apparently, laid the whole matter before certain influential peo ple there, and they formulated these plans, being all the time in close cor respondence by telegraph with cx- Presidcnt Ezeta. Oakland, Cal., Sept. 25. —Lieut.-Col. Juan Cienfuegos, the young Central American refugee, whose extradition to Ran Salvador on a charge of attempted murder has been ordered by Judge Morrow, spends a lonely time in bl eed at the Alameda county jail. Tl" said that he was confident of regaining freedom as soon as his CMS vns brought before the president, an ' ' - clares that he would commit suicide rather than be extradited. YORKTOWN OKREKEDTO CHINA Undo Sam Will Soon Have a Rig Fleet In European W.rcrs. Washington, Sept. 25.—Secretary Her bert decided to add the Yorktown to the Asiatic squadron, and has tele graphed orders to the Mare Island navy yard to have her docked at onee. lie Issued directions to have all neces sary repairs made as soon as possible preparatory to starting the trim little ship across the Pacific. The Yorktown reaehed San Francisco yesterday, having just returned from arduous patrol duty In Bering sen. and her commander, Captain Folger, form erly chief of naval ordnance, Is one of the most energetic men In the service and well equipped fop duty in China. The Yorktown is a 1.700 ton ship with 3,C00 horse power, and can maintain a seventeen-knot speed. She draws only fourteen feet of water, adapting her peculiarly for the shallow harbors of China. It is expected that she can be made ready to leave San Francisco about Oct. 20, and with a short stop for coal at Honolulu should reach Yoko hama about Nov. 10 or almost simul taneously with the Machlas, which will proceed to the same destination byway of Europe from New York within the next two weeks. The Charleston ought to bo at Yokohama before the end of this week. Those three vessels, with the Balti more, Concord, Petrel and Monooaey, will make the Asiatic fleet the most formidable that the United States has had in eastern waters for many years.
