FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 27 , 1804.
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.

THE STF.IKE COMMISSION.
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.
J)r. Ooriansky, a Russian physician,
claims to have found that the juice of
raw cranberries given freely, pure or
diluted with an equal part of water, is
an excellent means of relieving thirst
and vomiting in Asiatic 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

This is an oft-debated question, but
after doing business for years I. Refo
wieh is satisfied that it pays well. The

Home Comfort ltaiigim.
People using the Home Comfort steel
range speak as follows:
White Haven, August 19, 1894.
To whom it may concern. This is to
certify that we have a Home Comfort
steel range in our home and find it in
every way, so far, as represented by the
salesman, 11. ('. Robinson. Our water
tank boils quickly, it bakes nicely, takes
up a small amount of room in the house,
' is certainly cleaner and neater than cast
iron stoves, no ashes flying, the closets
are very nice and handy to warm vic
tuals in and for what time* I have used
it, would not take two others for it.

Plotting To Unite Mexico
and Central America.
Snn Francisco, Sept. 25.—Gen Anto
nio Ezeta and his attorneys, Messrs.
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.
