There Is not one newspaper in Luzerne with Democratic tendencies that has failed to give the county ticket its un qualified approval. On the other hand the Republicans have to bo satisfied with half-hearted endorsements from the editors in that party, and two of its staunehest supporters, the I'ittston Ga zette and Khickshinny Echo, openly an nounce their disapproval of the nomi nees and the methods by which the nominations were made. The White Haven Journal gives tin powers that rule tin- Republican camp a sly shot when it remarks that "there are some novices in Luzerne politics who have never been suspected of having either wisdom or sagacity, and they have now shown that they also lack tin wit to perceive their own stupidity." Somebody lots told the amateur poli ticians wlio ran the Republican coun ty convention last week a thing or two, and now they are accusing the lower end delegates of bunching all tin; candidates purposely to make the ticket weak.

FREELAND, PA., AUGUST 12, 1895. The Republican Ticket. From the Wilkesbarre Newsdealer. Bennett for judge, Martin for sheriff, Richards for recorder and Lloyd for con troller is the ticket named by the Re publicans of Luzerne. It might be called a Welsh-English combination, as Bennett is the only sop the American Re publicans secured. It is not a strong ticket by reason of being geographically out of joint, neither can it be said to bo a weak one. Bennett is not near as formidable a candidate as Ferris would have been, is not any stronger than when he was defeated four years ago by 1,503 majority, when he was a candi date against Judge Lynch. We see no reason why he should be successful in the coming contest. Ho cannot be com pared as a lawyer with W. S. McLean, and is not in any respect so broadly equipped to discharge the duties of that important trust. There is a strong feel ing, it must lie admitted, in favor of a non-partisan bench, and this will un doubtedly result in getting for him many votes that otherwise he would not ob tain; hut even with that feeling, his suc cess would seem to be out of the ques tion. Martin's nomination for sheriff we look upon as decidedly weak, and the personal following it will attract will bo insignificant. Yost or Garrison would either have proved a more popular nomi nation, and would have vastly strength ened the ticket. The fifth "district, in which Martin resides, is hopelessly Democratic, and we do not believe he will succeed in attracting to his name more than a couple of hundred Demo cratic votes. Ilis reputation and fitness is of course conceded, but Yost's defeat and Garrison's turning down lias left a lot of bad blood and created a dissen sion that will cost Martin a host of votes. His Democratic opponent has, in our opionion, a soft snap, and he ougiit to defeat Martin with ease. Richards for recorder is a good nomi nation, well located and would have strengthened the ticket if the conven tion had not loaded it down with the nomination of Lloyd, another Welshman for controller. This is where the con vention made another of its mistakes. Waddel or Westover for the candidate would either have been a more disirable selection, and would have materially strengthened the ticket whore it is weak. Another peculiar feature about tiie ticket nominated is that the candidates are ail from a radius of less than four miles from the, county seat. The iirst district carries off the judge and survey or, third district the recorder and coro ner, the second district the controller and the fifth the sheriff. This leaves the fourth and sixtli districts both unrep resented on the ticket and the feeling for the nominees in both of those dis trict will not be of the best. With the feeling and disturbance there is in the party over the struggle for state leader ship the Democracy of Luzerne ought to elect their ticket from bow to stern. How many of the newspapers which make a practice of misrepresenting the acts and intentions of the administra tion, both at home and abroad, will make public the fact that the United States minister to China was the first rep resentative of a foreign government to demand of China, at the time of the re cent destruction of missionary property and massacre of missionaries, not only reparation for damage done and the pun ishment of those who did it, but the full est protection for Americans temporarily residing in China? This demand was made in June and its effect may he judged from the more recent massacre of Eng lish missionaries, which lias started the British lion to roaring at the Chinese dragon at an awful rate. In that mas sacre not an American was killed or in jured, although they had a mission sta tion nearby that of the English who were killed. Talk is cheap, but when it comes to acts this administration is not behind that of any other in the history of the country in protecting Americans and American interests abroad. The fairness of Republican papers can I e judged by tiie way they treat this Chinese incident. When Baby was sick, wo gave her Caatoria.' When she was a Child, she cried for Caatoria.

Deafness Cunnot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.

When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed deafness is the result, and un less the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrah, which fa nothing but an in ilarned condition of the mucous surfaces.

Congressman Reetl Recalls Ills First Speech In the House—How He Succeoded In Commanding Attention—Effect of the Address. [Copyright, 1805.] Senator Hill of New York had a very Interesting murder case just before ho be came governor of New York. It is not so much tho case that made it interesting as tho story that grew out of it. It was in 1884. Mr. Hill was then lieutenant govern or of New York. Mr. Cleveland was gov ernor and had just been elected president. As lieutenant governor Mr. Hill continued to practice law, and in December, 1884, was engaged to assist tho prosecuting at torney in quite a celebrated murder case. Tho counsel for tho defensomade tho point that Lieutenant Governor Hill was likely to bocomo govornor, and in case his client was convicted application would have to bo made to (Sovernor Hill for oxocutive clemency. Ho claimed that under the cir cumstances the lieutenant governor had no right to appear in the cose; that having been prosecuting attorney ho would bo prejudiced against the prisoner, and tho accused, if found guilty, would not havo a fair hearing before tho governor, who had helped to convict him. The court over ruled the point raised by tho defense, and an exception was noted, but it never re sulted in having a new trial. Senator Hill says that tho case itself was rather remarkable, but the particulars are not essential to the present story. Well, tho man was convicted, and, sure enough, application for pardon was made to Gov ornor Hill, Mr. having in the meantime resigned as and been succeeded by tho lieutenant governor. Tho same attorney who had defended the man appeared with an application for a pardon. Ho declared that notwithstanding tho fact that Hill hod appeared as tho public pros ecutor in tho caso ho would ask him for exocutlvo clemency. He even went into an argument to show that bocause Mr. Hill SENATOR HILL, was a prosecutor at tho time ho was bound to grant a pardon or commute tho sen tence; that ho would bo prejudiced if he did not, and that ho owed it to himself to at least commute tho sontonco. "I know all about tho caso," said Gov ernor Hill. "I know that this man was guilty and that ho ought to bo punished. I do nob npprovo of hanging as a mode of punishment, not that I am opposed to the death penalty, but I think that some other method than hanging should bo found. However, it would not do to allow this man to go at largo or even to have the op portunity for escapo which life imprison ment might give him. There is no uso asking 1110 for clemency." Whilo they wore talking a messonger came in with tho information that tho man hod escaped. "You don't want any pardon now," said Governor Hill dryly, and tho interview closed. But the man was caught and returned to tho jail, and tho effort for clemency was renewed to 110 purpose. Tho case, however, made a profound im pression on Governor Hill. In his first message ho recommended that some meth od other than hanging bo found for pun ishment of murderers by infliction of the death ponalty. That was tho beginning of tho Now York electrocuting method of kill ing murderers. But there was grout opposi tion in the legislature, not so much to a change of method us to an effort to entirely abolish the dcuth penalty. General N. M. Curtis, now a member of tho national house of representatives, was a member of the as sembly and made a very hard fight to havo capital punishment abolished. Tho bill for tliis purpose passed the lower house, and it was only by tho skillful work of Governor Hill that it was defeated in tho senate. Tho governor would havo vetoed • tho bill, but ho did not want to bo com pelled to do so. As ho has often romarkod, "Thero aro bettor ways of dofoating legis lation than by vetoes, and more popular." Then followed tho contest for a change of method of inflicting tho dentil ponalty, and after persistent effort tho electrio method was adopted. It was never believed that such a bill could pass, and when it was found that it had i>osscd both houses tho electric companies began to make a fight against it. Govornor Hill was flooded with telegrams and requests to veto it, but 110 answered them all by announcing his approval of the bill as soon as it reached him. - Senator Hill, whilo ho was governor, be came mixed up in tho Kemmler execution, tho first one under the new law. That con test is still very well remembered, having been carried to tho supreme court of tho United States und fought from tho very first. The electric companies made the fight, not that they had any interest in tho poor wretch Kommlcr, but they did not want it established by a judicial exe cution that their electric currents were deadly. But it was of 110 avail. Govornor liill was besieged by friends employed by tho companies to havo the man pardoned or his sentcneo commuted. His wurmost friends were engaged as attorneys to present the wise to him, but he wus not to he moved. It was dcciurcd to him that tho electric currents would not kill. The governor would not believo it. He finally sent a trusted friend to talk to Thomas A. Edison and learn his honest opinion as to the effect of the electric cur rent. The great inventor said that ho did not want electricity used for execution purposes, but 110 would answer honestly. Of course it would kill if tho current was strong enough, and there was not the least difficulty in makiug the current strong enough. After all the courts and overy other pos sible avenue for escaping the test had been tried there arose another difficulty. The warden of the jail could not purchase dy namos to gonerate the electricity. Nono of the electric companies would sell them. Every dynamo was hold by the companies. Like many other electrio appliances, the titlo always remained in the possession of the companies, and the users paid a rental or royalty. They would not loose or sell a dynamo for an electric execution. But here again Governor Hill was shrewd enough to see that the law which ho had Worked so hard to have enacted should not bo de feated in any such manner. Several elec tric dynamos wore purchased for some South American firm and shipped down to Squth America and bought by the state sf Now York and shipped bock. They wore more expensive that way, but the state had to have thorn, and Governor Hill was not the man to give up. There was some difficulty in getting an operator who wos a skillful man to properly handle the elec tric machinery, but finally ono was found. Then began a pressure upon Governor Hill for admission to tho execution. From his past experience he was aware that tho electric companies would make overy effort to have mon inside who would try to mnko such a report of the affair as might turn public sentiment against the method of execution. One prominent plitor of New York, who had been standing by the elec tric companies with great vigor and had used all the power of his paper to defeat the law and to usslst the electric compa nies in preventing execution by such moans, wrote a personal letter to Governor Hill asking the privilege of having a re porter present. Governor Hill donied this request. The law provided that a certain number of persons should bo present, and tho governor allowed a man from each of tho press associations to bo there. It is probable that tho New York senator in all his experience with newspaper mon has met with but that ono instanco of a mem ber of tho profession disappointing him. Ono of tho men got sick at tho execution, and his report was not in favor of tho new method of exocution. Slnco then thero socms to bo a general acquiescence in tho now form of death ponalty, and oven tho electric companies have become reconciled to the use of elec tricity as a means of killing murdorers. They are now found willing to supply the state with the best improved dynamos for generating electricity and to put in tho different prisons requiring them all tho electric machinery necessary for a first class electrocution. As some ono has previously romarkod, nothing succeeds liko success, even If it is in dealing with such a ghastly thing as death for the greatest crime. Ex-Speaker Reed's First Speech. Ex-Speaker Reed tolls an interesting story about his first speech in congress. "I had served a few months in the house," said Mr. Reed, "and had boon waiting an opportunity to rise to my foot and have something to say. Finally the William and Mary college bill came up for considera tion. All the southern people K'oro enthu siastic in its favor, and they Induced Dr. Loring of Massachusetts to make a very patriotic and eloquent spooch in its behalf. Whon he had finished the southern pcoplo purposely organized a procession to march through tho uislos and up to Dr. Loring's seat for tho purpose of presenting him their congratulations. While all this was going on I sat waiting. Thero was a great deal of confusion in tho hall, and you can imagine how anxious I became as the mo ments slipped by. Tho wonder to me is that I had coolness enough to wait, but I did, and after tho congratulations had been about all offered and the house had been quieted down somewhat I raised my voice. But 110 ono appeared to see mo, and I would have sold out my chance very cheap. I think it was one of tho bitterest moments of my life, standing there sur rounded by my peers, just bursting for a chance to tell whut I knew and thought, but with no one paying tho slightest at tention to 1110 and a buzz going on all about. "I perceived that it was absolutely nocos sary for mo to do something to dominato that noise, and almost in a fit of despera tion I tilled my lungs and opened my mouth. It appeared to me, us I remember it now, that it did not make so much dif ference what I said as how loudly 1 could say it. In a second or two I had caught the attention of tho house, probably through the exercise of main strength. I then saw I was going to have an audience if my breath held out. In a few seconds more all noise ceased and faces bgan to turn to ward me. Then I felt tho inspiration of an attentive audience, and I suppose I must have made a very good speech. I spoke for about ton minutes, and when I had fin ished my friends came up to 1110 and told 1110 that I had killed William and Mary deader than a smelt, and such turned out to bo the case, though tlioyawcro resurroct ed some 15 years later. It was a hot day in Washington, and when I hud finished making that first speech of mine in tho house, Lord, how wet I was I" WALTER WELLMAN. The Hen. Our real American bird is tho turkoy, and a lordly fellow 110 is when arrayed in all his pride. But though ho has not lacked advocates he is not likely to take the place of the eagle in our nutionul do j vices. When it conies to merit of tho highest order, the first of all birds beyond compar ison is tho hen. It adds to tho wealth of the country every year in eggs alone $135,- 000,000, or about tho combined value of our output of iron and wool. Tho hen in England is a groat institution, and yet that country Imported $22,000,000 worth of eggs and poultry last year. Nobody over complains of an overproduction of eggs, and they aro a cash art icle. But no political economist has over thought the lien worthy of his scientific consideration.
