A FAIR CHALLENGE.
Freeland, February 15, 1895.
EDITOR TBIBUNE. —I was amused
while reading the latest production of
'•Extra" in the current issue of the
Progress. Verily, "the mountain hath
been in labor and brought forth a
mouse." After taking a whole week to
consult with the "boys" this counsel
general of the citizens of Freeland occu
pies one foot of valuable space, in which
lie manages to say nothing, but careful
ly avoids the only point of controversy
between us—namely, what is free edu
cation? This fair-weather patriot while
masquerading as an exponent of "free
education," crouches behind a non-de
plume to shoot his poisoned arrows at
a man who is his superior morally and
intellectually, and for what reason?
Simply because this man avails himself
of the God-given right to educate his
children where he sees fit. This man
"Extra" is simply a drawling, crawling
creature who belongs away back in the
fifteenth century; a man who preys on
the prejudices that unfortunately exist
wherever ignorance obtains; a man who
would appeal to the lowest passions the
ilesh is heir to; who would array God's
children in brutal sectarian strife; a
snake in the grass who would crush
liberty in the name of patriotism to ac
complish his personal ends.
When caught iu his own meshes this
groat patriot ignores and evades the
only point at issue and, parrot-like,
chirps "new school," "abominable de
ceiver," "you'r un-American," "you'r a
liar," etc., etc.. but not one word about
the only point at issue—"free educa
tion."
Oh, no, this narrow nincompoop has
boon told by so mo kind friend that the
"free education" ho advocates is not tho
free education intended by the Declara
tion of Independence and the constitu
tion of tho United States, and ho wisely
drops it and mounts the "now school"
hobby. I have not said one word for or
against the now school, yet I am told
that "tho time is past when men of my
calibre will try and light down such
blessings," but ho carefully avoids the
query in relation to the causes which
compel parents to send their children to
Ilazleton and Foster township to be
educated. lie fails to state the fact
that many parents were compelled to
send their children to Foster schools be
cause the principal of Freoland borough
is incompetent and unable to advance
them any further.
The time is come when men of "my
calibre" will arise boldly and indepen
dently and denounce any attempt to
curtail the liberty of even our humblest
citizen. The time is come when all hon
est men will arise in their might and
stamp out every attempt to rekindle the
fires of proscription and religious hate.
Tho tlmo has come when no shallow
domogoguo masquerading as a patriot
can use the public press to advocate
principles that are un-Cliristrian, un-
American and unpatriotic, and win
public approbation. Tho time is come
when all true Americans will rise in
their might in defense of free educa
tion, good schools, competent teachers,
honest and capable directors, and the
right to worship God as your conscience
d ictat.es.
"Extra" says that my 1 otter was un-
American and insinuates that I am not
a citizen. My friend is simply "specu
lating," forgetful of the fact that specu
lation is dangerous as many citizens of
this vicinity can testify. He seems to
have very warped ideas as to what con
stitutes patriotic citizens. The new
school building confines his mental vis
ion within a very limited radius. He
cannot comprehend the broad fact that
patriotism like nature loves all lands.
Hungary had her Kossuth, Poland her
Koscioski, England her Byron, her
Burke and her Gladstone, Ireland had
her Emmet, her William Smith O'Brien,
her Mitchell, her Martin, her Parnell,
the grand galaxy of names that adorn
the pages of her history—the Protestant
apostles of Catholic Ireland, Hcotland
had her Wallace and Bruce, France had
her Lafayette, America had her Wash
ington, her Jefferson and Lincoln, and
so it is ail along the line in every nook
on God's foot-stool. It is not a manu
factured commodity. Men inhale it in
the air they breathe, Th° proposition
to con line patriotism within curtain
geograplcal limits is preposterously ab
surd. You might as well try to bottle
up the air and sunshine. The founda
tion of patriotism Is invariably laid when
the little boy is lisping the Lord's prayer
at the knee of a noble Christian mother.
.Patriotism is the essence of honesty
*>■*' - • -■ .. .
mingled with an ardent lovo for the wel
fare of our fellow man, carried to the
point of self-sacrifice.
A certain patriot named Washington
over one hundred years ago captured
many prisoners in battle down on the
Delaware and sent them up to the bleak
mountains of Pennsylvania to earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow. These
prisoners were a mercenary horde who
were imported from the continent by
the tyrant English king to crush the
spirit of patriotism that animated the
sturdy cblonists to take up arms in de
fense of their homes and liberties.
These men were called Ilcssians and
despised by everyone, but one hundred
years has worked a complete transfor
mation. Their offspring are ardent pa
triots. They have not yet arrived at the
point of self-sacrifice it is true, but they
are coming. They are now busily en
gaged trying to bottle up the eternal
principles of liberty and patriotism that
illuminated the world for thousands of
years and substitute it with a homo pro
duct of their own manufacture. It is to
be hoped that another hundred years
will work a complete regeneration and
enable them to behold the principles of
patriotism and liberty in the fulness of
its universal grandeur.
To my fellow citizens of Freeland 1
extend the hand of fellowship and
brotherly love across the bloody chasm
this gilt-edged patriot is trying to dig.
We are brothers, the children of a com
mon Father, linked together in social
intercourse and holy communion by
bonds that are inseparable and any at
tempt to sever them will provo futile.
The man who would revive the prescrip
tive spirit that prevailed away back in
the fifties, is a knave or a fool or a com
pound of both, and henceforth must
part company with honest and intelli
gent men.
Mr. Editor, I have occupied more
space than I intended, and in conclusion
would make the following proposition:
After the election is past and reason has
resumed Its normal sphere, I am satis
fied to cast away the non-de-plume and
discuss this question with my friend, in
the light of day, if he will do likewise.
I will engage, to prove to the satisfac
tion of all unbiased minds that I am his
peer as a citizen and patriot.
INDEPENDENT.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Freeland is a Democratic town by a
large majority, and each of the candi
dates, Messrs. Butter, Breslin, Timony,
McCarthy, Gallagher and Myers should
be elected to the offices they seek. If
any of them fails it will cause trouble in
future years.
Democrats should not forget their can
didates for poor officers tomorrow. Mr.
Faust, of the Weatherly Ilcralxl , is a
gentleman who would make an excellent
director, and Mr. Sharpe, of Lansford,
is well qualified for auditor.
A plain ordinary victory will not satis
fy the Democrats this year. Every man
on the ticket should have a rousing ma
jority. The votes are here and all that
is necessary is to get them out and make
a clean sweep.
Candidates are working energetically
to get out the full vote on Tuesday.
There is but little noise on the surface,
nevertheless both parties are leaving
nothing undone.
Foster Democrats are making a
splendid uphill fight. The odds are
against them, but they are hopeful.
Freeland borough will have 1,350
offieiaWind 450 specimen ballots. Foster
will have 2,025 official and 875 specimen.
The Democrats of the third borough
district propose to give the ticket a
majority of no less than 75 votes.
Mark your ballot as the specimen bal
lot shown on the fourth page is marked.
Two crosses (X) are sufficient, but be
sure you get them right.
There Is considerable uncertainty in
the borough. This is the first municipal
election since the consolidation, and it
takes nervo to make a prediction of
tomorrow's result.
Don't be afraid to sacrifice a little
time tomorrow to vote yourself, and
when that is done go after your friends.
Poll every Democratic vote in the bor
ough. The ticket will be elected if this
is done.
The proposition to increase the school
debt will be stubbornly contested. The
opposition has conducted an agrcssive
campaign, and the failure of the board
to make public its plans has helped the
opponents of the scheme wonderfully.
Democratic Nominee for Poor Director.
Percy E. Faust, of Weatherly, the
Democratic candidate for poor direc
tor. is making an active canvass for the
office, but owing to a lack of time has
been unable to call upon all the voters of
this portion of the district. However,
to those who have not the pleasure of
ids acquaintance, the TRIBUNE can as
sure them they have missed meeting a
gentleman whose Democracy has never
been questioned, one who has worked
faithfully for every Democratic nominee
iu the poor district, both personally and
through his paper, the Herald. This Is
the first time Mr. Faust has sought
office, and would not now bo a candidate
if any other had desired tlio honor. He
accepted the place on the ticket at the
solicitation of the convention, and a
man who responds so willingly to his
party's call should have every Demo
cratic vote in the district.
It is not alone for this that Mr. Faust
should he elected, but because of his
sterling qualities as a man and his ability
to properly fulfill the duties of poor di
rector. Let no Democratic forget to
vote for him tomorrow.
A Lucky Editor.
Dr. Allen Norten Leete, editor of the
Scranton Sunday JVew, lias been notified
that lie lias been bequeathed sso,uuu bv
the will of the late Henry 1!. Carey, of
hos Angeles, Cal. Back of the bequest
is the story of an unpaid dobt that
brought the lender ultimately a compet
ence for lifo. In 181)2 Dr. Leete loaned
Cary SSOO, At that time both mon lived
In Newark, N. J. Cary (migrated to
California and made a fortune, but he
never during his lifo time paid Leete bis
money. When ho died, not long since,
bis will was found to contain a clause
acknowledging Ills debt to Leete and
stating that the SSOO was the foundation
of bis fortune and in consideration of
this lie bequeathed him $50,000.

Catarrh is a blood or constitutional

talje internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts direct

Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a q.uack

the beßt physicians in this country lor
years, and is a regular prescription. It
is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaces'.
The perfect combination of the two in
