FREELAND, PA., AUGUST 10, 1895.
Senator Quay and Democracy.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Our esteemed contemporary, tho Press,
copies an article from a rural Republican
newspaper making solicitious inquiry
as to the causes of tho vigorous and vio
lent support given by Democratic lead
ers and newspapers to Senator Quay.
In order that there may be no mistake
or misapprehension on tho subject it
should be remembered that the Repub
lican supremacy in Pennsylvania is so
overwhelmingly established as to make
the rule of the party extremely arrogant
and offensive. It administers the affairs
j of the state with insolent disregard of
the public welfare, because it does not
fear correction at the polls. The break
between the Republican factions is like
a rift in clouds. Democrats are glad to !
see it. Even thousands of honest Re
publicans are well satisfied with tho pro
cess of purgation now tearing its way
through the vitals of their organization.
Thero are, however, specific as well as
general reasons why Democrats should I
side with Senator Quay rather than with |
his enemies. Ho fights fair. Unresolv
ed the doubt as to his popularity and
and his right to load his party by sub
mitting himself to tho crucial test of a
popular vote. Democrats will never for
get that when a Republican president
and congress sought to substitute tho
rule of bayonet for that of the ballot
box Senator Quay's vote was cast against
and helped to defeat the infamous force
bill. A weak man, or a cowardly man
afraid of the party lash, would not have
dared to take that manly and magnani
mous course.
If Democrats had no reason to be sat
isfied with any part of the past course of
the senator in his dealing with public af
fairs his present attitude and aims would
demand, and secure, their sympathetic
support. He has put himself on record
as the opponent of corrupt municipal
government, lie denounces the use of
money in politics, corporate control of
state and city legislatures, oilicial inter
ference with primary elections, favor
itism in the bestowal of contracts for
public works, and the grant of exclusive
franchises in matters of public neces
sity.
Ho also declares himself iu favor of
tlii' abolishment of unnecessary ollie.es,
the cutting down of redundant salaries,
the divorce of school management from
political influence, and tin; policy of
making corporations pay for the public
privileges granted them. He proposes
tocarrrv the war for these and kindred
reforms into the next legislature.
The Democrats of Pennsylvania, while
Senator Quay shall lead in this direc
tion, cannot oppose him without stul
tifying themselves. He has put himself,
whether consciously or not. as far as the
administration of state affairs goes, upon
a Democratic platform. Standing upon
that, every good Democrat and every
good citizen can light for him with a
stout stomach and clear conscience. If
he shall win, he will save so much of Re
publicanism in Pennsylvania as may be
worth the saving. If ho shall fail, the
cause he espouses will not fail with him.
It cannot fail of indorsal at tholiandsof
the people that moment they shall be
able to apply to it the test of the popular
judgement as expressed at the ballot-box.
DrafiiCKM Cannot l>e Cored
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.
Deafness is caused by an inllamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it iscntiro
ly closed deafness is the result, and un
less the inllamation can he taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten arc caused by
catarrah, which is nothing but an in
llamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot he cured by Ifall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Poor, Suffering Humanity.
A new complaint ii; now recognized
by medical men. It is caused by an
artificial st oppage of the pores of the
skin. If any person will examine his
i hand after riding for two or three
j hours in a train —and this is especially
true if he bo perspiring—he will find
his hand is dirty. Hut a closer exnrai
-1 nation will show the existence of a
| fine grime, the particles of which, so
soon as the perspiration ceases, act as
minute corks stopping up the orifices
I of the pores. llow deeply this grime
works into the skin is shown by the
fact that after a railroad trip one
washes one's hands and face two or
three times before they clean. It is
! this grime which produces railroad
, kidney. Of course it is not supposed
that an ordinarily healthy person will
contract this disease in a trip of a day
:or two. Hut where a person is already
a sufferer from chronic disease of the
kidneys it is possible that a week on
railroad trains would aggravato his
malady to an appreciable extent.
A New-Woman Enterprise.
"A refined widow lady" advertises in
the Hoston papers that she is ready, for
; a financial consideration, to "lodge and
board respectable husbands, look after
their linen, give them a mother's care
if ill." Everything will be done to
amuse and interest them while under
her care, while at the same time discip
' line will be maintained, and no latch
keys will be allowed. Wives need have
no apprehension on that score. Thero
will positively, says the prospectus, "bo
no funny business." A look, a word,
will, it is thought, be enough to quiet,
and, if needs be, break the spirit of tho
; proudest and most bullying of hus
bands. Hundreds of certificates as to
"the refined widowed lady's" skill in
handling desperate cases can be had.
LAST winter Mr. Overman, a farmer,
near Windfall, Tipton county, Ind.,
was found dead with a pistol near him.
No cause for suicide was assigned. Tho
other day a paper written by Mr. Over
man was found in his effects that ex
plained the mystery. Overman's letter
says that twenty years ngo an English
man came to his house with thirty
thousand dollars and tried to induce
him to go into tho ranch business in
Colorado. Ho murdered the English
man, buried his body in a marsh and
took his money and buried it on his
farm. The place is not designated.
This explains tho hermitlike life of
Overman for these many years.
Ax army of black worms invaded tho
town of Thomaston, Mo., a few daj's
ago and took complete possession of
: the place. They entirely stripped tho i
foliage from the elm trees that border
the streets, ns well as from all the ap
ple trees in the suburbs,all of which aro
now as bare as in midwinter. The worms
fell from tho trees in showers, and
women walking in the streets carried
umbrellas for protection from the un
pleasant pest. The worms also invaded
the houses, to the dismay of the house
wives. An odd feature of the visita
tion was that Thomaston was the only
town in the county that had been thus
invaded.
IT is said that some summer hotels will
employ "social lubricators" (luring 1 tlio
present season. A "social lubricator,"
it seems, is a woman, who, in return for
her board and lodging, binds herself to
umuse the guests. It is doubtful, how
ever, if the scheme will work. A nice,
presentable man would bo much more
apt to amuse the women, while, on the
other hand, if the "social lubricator"
tries to amuse the men she will very
quickly hear from the wives.
IT has remained for a Pennsylvania
publisher to strike at once the latest
and the greatest idea yet. The Beaver
Falls Journal offers to present to every
new subscriber "a beautiful brown
Turkish towel, size, twelve by twenty
two inches, two-ply goods, fancy col
ors." This is doing away with the tradi
tionary customs of the print shop with
a vengeance. The Journal very likely
has carried the innovation so far as to
change the ollice towel once or twice a
month.
WITHIN a 3 r ear the mails between New
Fork and Brooklyn will be whisked
back and forth through pneumatic
tubes, running from one government
building to the other. The pipes will
bo large enough to admit small pouches,
and it is said the cost will not exceed
one hundred thousand dollars. The
pneumatic delivery of parcels also is
nnder consideration in several large
cities.
BY statistics it Is shown that Ohio
has the largest number of farms of any
state in the uni0n—256,204. Illinois
comes second, 252,053; then Missouri,
250,832; Texas, 248,782; New York, 220,-
082; Pennsylvania, 211,472; lowa, 205,-
485; Indiana, 205,381. No other state
has more than 200,000. The percentage
of ownership in farms is larger in the
north and west, as is the percentage
of homes also.
THE danger to crops in some of tho
western states from grasshoppers is so
threatening that the various states
have taken hold of the master and a
war of extermination is being carried
on. Prof. Lugger, who is in charge of
the matter, uses a machine that kills
two bushels a day, yet the insects aro
increasing.
UNDER the new census the population
of lowa is figured at two millions and a
half. This is an increase for the state
of six hundred thousand since 1890.

A RUNAWAY AT TWELVE YEARS.
Helping Homesick Roys to Escape —He
Sailed Around the Horn at Sixteen—Con
gressman Culberson's Experience as a
Statesman.
[Copyright, 1805.]
It is often said that tho life of somo par
ticular mail roads like a romance. This is
cortalnly true of Georgo Clement Perkins,
senator from California. Mr. Perkins ran
away from homo when ho was nothing but
a slip of a boy 12 years old or thereabout.
Boing a native of Maine, ho naturally had
a fondness for the sea, and, like many an
other boy, to sea ho went. He has seen ev
ery portion of tho civilized world and a
great deal that is not civilized. Seven years
of his boyhood were spent on the sen, go
ing from this country to every part of Eu
rope. He has been to Norway, Sweden,
Denmark, Russia, England, Ireland, Scot-
SENATOR GEORGE C. PERKINS,
land, Wales, France, Germany, Spain and
tho countries bordering on the Mediterra
nean sea. He lias had adventures, too, and
when In tho mood ho can entertain his fel
low senators with romances of the sea that
equal tho tales of Marrvat.
Ono story of the romantic side of a sail
or's life is told by the California senator,
a story which shows that truth is indeed
stranger than fiction. lie shipped with a
brig loaded with lumber from St. John,
N. 11., bound for Dublin. Among the crew
wero three boys younger than himself.
The brig Lizzie Thompson had never boon
to sea, and she was found to lie unsea
worthy after u few days out. The crew, in
cluding tho boys, consisted of but 13
hands. The boys got sick and did not
want to go any farther after the brig be
gan to leak. Tho men did not like the
looks of tilings and mutinied. They refused
to work the pumps and insisted that the j
vessel should he put back, and tho captain
was finally compelled to yield.
That ho was wild about being forced to
do something against his will by the mu
tiny of the crew those who know the na
ture of the average sea captain of 40 years
ago will easily imagine.
They came back to St. John and an
chored, awaiting the action of the authori
ties. Tho three boys wore disgusted with i
the whole sailing business and had bad
enough of tho sea. Perkins agreed to get
them off and away. Ho chose a time when
tho tide was coming in and the current
was very strong. Tho tide rises 28 feet at
St. John, higher than at any other port in
tho world. He got tho thrco hoys in a boat
and was about to let go when one of them
refused to go unless his chest was carried
along as well. This was impossible, and
tho boy olainljored out, leaving Perkins
and the other two in the boat. A long lino
was attached to tho painter of the boat,
and they slipped away from the ship (us if
they were merely having a little frolic on
the tide. But the rope soon parted, as Per
kins knew it would, and tho boat sped
away on tho tide like an arrow. The boys
were taken to a place of safety, and on the
ebb tide Perkins returned. Of course it was
an accident, and he was not large enough
to bring back two boys nearly as large as
himself. The fact that he returned was
evidence of his good faith, and neither lie
nor any member of the crow was punished
for mutiny. The ship was repaired and
made an uneventful voyage. The boys he
helped to get away shipped on a brig to
Providence, and lie lost sight of them.
Lost year a big fellow walked into Mr.
Perkins' ollico in Oakland and asked him
if his name was George Clements. He said
"Yes," for that was the name he went by
In his seafaring days. "Well," responded
tho big fellow, "I am ono of those boys
you helped get away from tho Lizzie
Thompson in St. John harbor." Ho soon
proved his truthfulness by mentioning in
cidents which none but lie could know.
Ho had had quite a varied experience, hav
ing been through tho entire war, and after
it was ovor settled in San Jose, Gal. He
did not know that tho prominent shipown
er and merchant, Georgo C. Perkins, was
ouco his shipmate, and it was only after
Mr. Perkins was elected to the senate,
when some of his early history was pub
lished as well as the fact that ho was in
his younger days known as George Clem
ents, that it occurred to him that his
boyhood friend and the senator wero the
same person. Botli had seen much of life
since they parted on tho St. John's tide.
Once when Mr. Perkins was making a
speeeli in the senate in favor of tho Nica
ragua canal bill another senator interrupt
ed him as he was telling about the diffi
culties of shipment byway of Capo Horn
and asked if lie had ever sailed around tho
cape. "I sailed around Capo Horn before
the mast when I was 10 years old," roplled
I tho California senator, and ho broke into a
| carefully prepared speech to tell something
! of wlmt navigation around the Horn was.
j His description of the waves running
I mountain high, tlie difficulty experienced
| whether ships went byway of Magellan
I strait or on the outer course and how they
| often had to turn and run before tho wind
j and wait for weeks for better weather bo-
I fore they could make a trip was very en
tertaining to Ills colleagues. Mr. Perkins,
| having first sailed as mariner, in after life
made the trip in iiis own vessels. JIo had
also brought vessels around for other poo
pie.
He admits now that he has no hankering
for a trip by tho way of Cape Horn and
says that shipping that way in tho best
built vessels of today will lie attended by
loss of property and life, to say nothing of
tho length of the trips. Senator Perkins
has several times crossed tho isthmus of
Panama and lias made extensive trips in
the orient. All of ids seafaring life was
Hot prosperous, and when lie went to Call
fornla to remain and sock his fortune ho
worked his passage to the port of San
Francisco and also his passage to the
mines. lie* began Ills California career as
a porter in a storo in Oreville, a store that
was then doing a business of SI,OOO per
month. He soon got control of the busi
ness, and it. grew rapidly until it reochod
the enormous amount of $700,000 a year.
While he is a prosperous business man
and engaged in immense affairs, ho likes to
revert to the days of his early struggles and
Is not ashamed to have it known that ho
was a sailor boy. One of his interesting
stories is of an adventure ho had in Chris
tian ia, the capital of Norway. Ho was tho
youngest of a party on shore leave, and
having ventured far away from tho beaten
paths of sailors in their efforts to see tho
city tho men entered tho king's palace in
tho midst of some grand fete then in prog
ress. They were not discovered for some
time, but Anally tho older men of the par
ty, having imbibed too much wine, began
soaring tho American eagloand exploiting
their views in away that was far from
satisfactory to tho Norsomon. They also
became too familiar with the ruddy cheeked
Norsewomen, and this was soon resented
in a manner that looked as if they would
all bo taken prisoners or killed before they
got out of the hands of tho mon who were
ready to fight like vikings.
Mr. Perkins was the only man of tho
parly who had not been drinking, and
who had not given cause for umbrage, but
being with the other American sailors he
was in for the same fate as his companions.
It was because ho had kept sober that es
cape was possiblo. He had noticed a side
entrance, loading to a part of tho palaco
grounds, which was not thrown open to
tho crowds in tho other parts of tho build
ing. When in tho course of the scrimmage
tho Americans reached this ontranco, ho
induced his companions to bolt through it.
This they successfully did, shaking off
their assailants and walking past a sleepy
sentinel out into the park.
Tho soldiers woke up in tlmo to parley
with their pursuers, and whilo this was
going on the sailors mode a run through
tho park, scaled the walls and found them
selves in a strange part of the town. After
two or three hours' wandering they again
got their bearings and returned aboard
ship. Tho Christianla authorities made
every effort to ascertain the identity of tho
sailors who had created the disturbance,
but tho silence of the ship's officers, who
did not want any of their sailors detained,
and tho bold declaration that no leavos of
absence had been granted any of the crew
tho night of the disturbance probably pre
vented an international complication
which might havo resulted in confinement
of tho future senator for a time in a Nor
wegian prison.
No Sense of Gratitude.
Representative Culberson of Texus, ono
of the members of the international mon
etary commission for tho house, tells an
interesting story of his personal experi
ences as a statesman in Washington. "Say,
do you know that follow Hicks—that fel
low that came hero with alligator boots
and wanted mo to get him an office?" bo
gan Mr. Culberson in his inimitable style.
"Well, durned if he ain't going to run
agon mo for congress. He came up hero,
you know, and insisted as how he'd done
a heap for me in tho election and allowed
that I'd oughtcr get him fixed in some
good government job. His boots wcro
great big things," said Mr. Culberson,
measuring off about throe feet with his
hands. "Well, I took him around to the
departments with me and did my level
best to get him a place. It'd be all right
and we'd apparently be getting along first
rate with the officers of the departments,
and an office seemed to loom right up with
in reach of us until the officials caught
sight of them boots of his. They'd kinder
shy at them and all at once grow cold and
distant. This occurred several times, until
finally I said, 'Well, Hicks, I guess you'd
better stay in your hotel and loave mo to
go it alone.' So Hicks he staid indoors
with them alligator boots, and pretty soon
I l.amled him an office. I had him made an
Injun agent. He was to go out there to
one of those Utc reservations. Well, I don't
know what it was, whether the Injuns
heard ho was coming or not, but just be
fore Hicks got his commission all them
hlnmcd Utes got up and escaped. They
run clean off, and I don't know where
they brought up. Anyway, since there
wasn't no Injuns, it wasn't no use sending
an Injun agent out there, so Hicks didn't
get his job after all. He got sorter mad at
mo then, and he went back home to Tex
as, jincd the Populists, and now he says
he's going to run agon mo for congress.

Personal ve.
The proprietor of a large building in
London which contains several fiats on the
upper floors says t hat he never succeeded
in renting these apartments readily until
ho employed a very eloquent Irish woman
as his agent.
Several times tho graceful "blarney" ol
this excellent woman has secured a cus
tomer where a less gifted ageut would
probably have failed.
"Klnvayiencea, is it?" says she to appli
cants for tho rooms. "Sure, it's hot an
could wather at all hours of tho day an
nolght, agrayablo to yertashtc, an scullery
coppers that wild make a washerwoman ol
tho queen of England by prifforoneo."
"Are tho rooms comfortably warmed?"
asks an inquirer.
"Are they warmed?" with a surprised
air. "Sure. Wld a sloight turn o' yet
wrist yo have anny degray o' timpcraturc
known to the theriniotlior."
"Hut the staircaso. Is that easy to go
up?"
"Now, thin," says tho eloquent agent at
if she were reaching the climax of all the
wonderful advantages of the building,
"the staircase is that aisy that when yo're
goln oop yo would well belavo that yo're
com In down."

It Makes the Whole World Kin.
One could tell by tho white bourse and
the flower covered coffin that a child's life
had gone out Into the unknown. As tho
funeral train slowly bore the white bud to
its resting place on Mother Earth's bosom,
it passed a home for friendless children.
All play was stopped, ami the children
were hanging on tho fence watching tho
procession pass. As the licarse went by
ono little fellow took off bis battered hat
and another followed his example, until all
the little boys who wore old enough to
know what it meant, and some little tots
who did not understand, had their hats in
their hands. "One touch of nature makes
tho whole world kin," and one could not
help imagining tho feelings of that father
and mother as they saw this mark of sym
pathy shown by those who havo no parents
to care for them, whose only knowledge of
love and tenderness must, he gained from
the wire of self sacrificing women who
have refrained from tasting the joys and
sorrows of wifehood and motherhood that
they may minister to the sick and forsak
en.—New York Press.
