"Let every Democrat consider it his solemn duty to assist in purifying the party before the next presidential elec tion. This can he done only by rebuk ing the insolence of poltroon politicians who have thrust themselves upon the ticket this year. Cowardice and rascality must be snowed under by the ballots of free and independent voters." The above we clip from the FREBLAND TRIBUNE and we are at a loss to under stand what Brother Buckley means. If there is any candidate on the ticket who is objectionable, he should he pointed out, otherwise the entire ticket may sutler for the shortcomings of the man whom the TRIBUNE says is a coward, a rascal, a poltroon and ought to be defeat ed. Of course the TRIBUNE and its editor have a full right to oppose any Democrat who is on the ticket, or all of them for that matter, but when it takes a stand of that kind, justice would demand that it name the Democrat that it opposes. And this we believe the TRIBUNE will do, for it is a journal that above all things is just and fair.— 11 ilkcs-Borrc Newsdealers, We are surprised that the Newsdealer, usually so vigilant and observing, finds it necessary to ask that question. The TRIBUNE has repeatedly pointed out the candidate on the ticket who deseives defeat, and we thought that our opposi tion to Congressman Ilines' re-election was so well-known to all our readers that they could understand who is meant without inserting his name in every paragraph that refers to cowards, rascals and poltroon politicians. The TRIBUNE would he very sorry to see its opposition to this demogogue work harm to any other candidate, forevery other nominee, from Singerly to McNelis, will receive the unqualified support of this paper. In regard to Ilines, the TRIBUNE would be false to its principles if it aided in again electing him and placing him in a position to betray the party as he did before. The Newsdealer must know that Ilines is a protectionist. He is not in sympathy with the Democratic national, state or county platforms upon the tarilf question. He has assisted in having the duty retained on several articles which were to he free under the original Wil son hill. His lobbying in the interests of the Wilkes-Barrc lace mill, the Haz ard wire works and the Plymouth car pet factory ought to be convincing proof that he is not a safe man to represent Democrats in congress. To touch upon his record in other respects is unneces sary at present. The fact that he is a protectionist is sufficient to condemn him in the eyes of the TRIBUNE. His opponent, it can be said, is also a pro tectionist, but between two such men there can he hut one choice. In opposing Democratic protectionists the TRIBUNE may be alone in Luzerne county hut it is not alone in the state. The Philadelphia Record, the best and foremost tarilT reform advocate in the United States, through its editor, Wil liam M. Singerly, who we hope will be the next governor of Pennsylvania, says: "As between a Democratic protectionist and a lit,publican protectionist, other things be ing efjual, the Record is in favor of a Re publican every time. The Democratic pro tectionist is a fraud" Lotteries Given a Setback. Judge McPherson, of Harrishurg, has dealt all sorts of lottery a judicial blow. He says that what is popularly known as a "rallle" is a lottery and so is the disposing of money of any kind by the sale of "chances." A merchant who gives tickets to his customers with articles purchased, and afterwards de cides by some form of chance (by drawing lots for example), which ticket shall re ceive a prize, either in money or proper ty of any kind, is guilty of maintaining a lottery. .So, too, a lottery is maintain ed by any person, whether lie is a mer* chant or not, who sells tickets only and afterwards decides by chance which ticket is to receive a prize. But a merchant may lawfully give tickets to every customer or to those only who buy to a certain amount and may afterwards exchange articles in his Htore for a specified number of these tickets; for in this there is no element of chance. And a merchant may also law fully attract customers by offering to give certain articles to anyone who buys goods to a specified amount; for this applies to every such buyer and is also free from chance.

Pan Frnnclscn, Sept. 25.—The steamer City of Rio do Janeiro brings the fol lowing Intelligence from the Orient: The Asuhi, a Japanese paper, says: "We have already stated that a treaty ! with the United States was in progress j and almost completed. We hear now ! that It has la-en completed and that the | United Stales government has ap pointed by cable Mr. Dun, its minister In this country, minister plenipotenti ary for the ratification and exchange of ratifications." "We believe," remarks the Chines- Gazette, "that we are not premature in stating that the formalities have been arranged and everything is cut and dried for the completion of a new S"t of trading regulations between Great Britain and China which we arc assured will be found very advantag- ' eons to the former from a commercial point of view at least." The Shanghai Mercury says it is ru mored in Pekin that the emperor has expressed his desire to personally take charge of the operations in Korea and to leave the throne under the regency of the empress dowager. When his majesty made known his desire his hearers are said to have knocked theii foreheads and prayed his majesty not to let his anger drive him so far as to engage with so paltry an enemy, but tc lot his officers drive off the barbarians. The defenses of Moukdon. the home of the Thing dynasty, are being strength- j ened, the garrison having been rein forced by 8,000 trained troops. It was J rumored sometime ago, says a Japa nese journal, that Chang Tsc Tung and others were going to impeach Li Hung Chang, but nothing has resulted. It is even said that the appointment was made to deceive the Pekin government. That government, continued the same paper, considered it most inauspicious that Li Hung Chang should declare war when the empress dowag.-r was about to celebrate her 61st birthday. The emperor was especially angry and threatened to humble the power of Tien Tsl Yamen. Though the emperor could have easily effected this his counsellors warned him that in that case the vice roy might do the country infinite harm by allying himself with foreign minis ters and advised him to appoint an im peachment c-.rnmission to keep him in i subjection. The emperor, who is afraid of foreign ministers, reconsidered his resolution. Li Hung Chang, who got scent of this change on the emperor's part, communicated with Chang Tse Tung, who was reported to be hostile I to himself, so that Li Hung Chang ' begged pormision to form a com mision. The reason of Chang Tse Tung's consent to become Li Hung Chang's accuser at the latter's request, Is that ho possesses the largest iron manufactory in China, that being short I of money and the works being threat ened with ruin he means to set them at work again through the viceroy's ; assistance. The Pekin government, ig- j norant of all this conspiracy, has al- 1 ready given two million five hundred thousand taels towards war expenses and will even abolish the empress dow ager's celebration to defray the cost of the war. The foreign consuls at Shanghai, with the Portuguese consul at their head, communicated with the Taotl in connection with the neutrality of the court, but as the Taoti was unsatis factory they held a meeting. As a re sult of the meeting the following reso lutions were presented the Taotl: "The action of the Taoti at Shanghai is most unfair to a neutral port; and if he continues to act in such a violent man- I nor troops shall be landed from British, I French and Amerb an men-of-war for the protection of Inhabitants of the ' settlement." The British and Russian ministers at Pekin lately met LI Hung Chang and offered to meditate for an armistice for the reason that if the Chinese army, which had amassed with so much trou ble at Heijo were defeated, it would be a great disgrace to China. Li Hung Chung, who had been frightened by defeats at Fung Tong Tao and Gazan, and had secretly been hoping for medi ation, eagerly seized this opportunity an requested the two ministers to me diate. The ministers then made the same proposal to the Japanese govern ment which firmly declined as it lißd entered upon the war with great de termination and was not to be turned away with such a proposal The case of two Japanese spies arres ed on the French concession by the French police and delivered to the Uni ted States consul general is still under consideration at Pekin. United States Consul General Jernlgnn is active in having all Japanese not identified with Shanghai by important business rela tions returned to Japan and Inst week about one hundred of them went homo. The United States consul general Is sparing no effort to rid Shanghai of Japanese whose presence would possi bly be made a cause of complaint by china, or a source of danger to the settlement. The British man-of-war Centurion left Clio Foo Aug. 28 with three other men-of-war for Jinsen. The British China squadron is, at the government's orders, cruising in Korean waters to watch the progress of the war and to keep an eye on tie- movement of Russia and France, but as the squadron is not large enough to watch tbe Russians at Vl&dlvoßtock and the French in Ton quin, the commander >f the squadron has telegraphed home for a dispatch of three men-of-war from the northern Pacific squadron. LI Hung Chang, says the Yomluri, is in his seventy-third year. For ten years he has been subject to apoplexy and half of his face is paraly/ed. In peace time he never goes to his office Hut. stays at home, hut In spite of his age and disease he rides every morning to the parade ground and reviews the troops. This duty he has never ne glected. A Japanese who left Shanghai for home on the third instant says that some of the China merchants B. N company's steamers are now flying the British flag. l ig > 1 Works Uotiime. Troy, N.
