FREELAND, PA., OCTOBER 28. 1895.
Almost H Fortune Out of ttie Treasury.
The public grounds and buildings at
Hurrisburg must be kept in order, but
the Republican party, always on tin
jump for the main chance, lias used thi
department for the purpose of making a
big raid on the public treasury. In 18b:;
the management, improvement and re
pairs to tin? public grounds and building
cost only $32,342. In 1895 the expendi
ture is put down at $77,019, or an in
crease of $45,277. The present adminis
tration was very lavish in providing
for this department. The superintend
ent must be a great favorite or an extra
ordinarily valuable man, as his salary
was increased from $2,800 to SO,OOO.
Then ho was also supplied with a book
keeper at $3,000, a mechanic at SI,BOO, a
gardener at $2.000. an assistant gar
dener at SI,BOO, a sergeant of police at
$2,000, besides SI,BOO worth of extra
elevator men. An increase of SIO,OOO
was made to keep the grounds in repair: <
a SO,OOO contingent fund was created. ;
while salary increases and other impro- i
vised charges run the appropriation up \
to nearly $50,000 excess over two years >
ago.
Voter, are you willing to submit lung
er to the rule of a party that spends
public money in this profligate manner?
It can be stopped by voting the entire
Democratic ticket this fall.
Four years ago Mr. Stanton, the
Democratic candidate fur sheriff, was
nominated and elected clerk of the court
by one of the largest majorities over
given a candidate of Ids party, which
was due entirely to his integrity and
popularity among his neighbors and
people who know him best. The affairs
of the clerk's office were never conducted
with as much tact and business ability
as during his term, but he was un
fortunate, as were many o.hers. owing
to'the Rockafellow bank failure. The
savings of his term, $5,800, wore lost
beyond redemption, yet Luzerne county
or the bondsmen of Mr. Stanton did nut
lose one cent, as the record of the
treasurer's office attest. Official or
public integrity of such quality is rare,
and so thought tho friends of Mr. Stan
ton when they placed him on the ticket
in order to give him an opportunity to
regain what he lost in their service, and
to give the citizens of this county
another chance to vote for an honest
man. — Wilkeabarre Telephone,
Down in tho % lower end the name of
James J. Maloy, the Democratic candi
date for recorder, is a synonym for all
that is popular, says the Wilkusbarre
Leader. lie is universally known and
liked. Possessed of a ripe, practical
mind, he will bring to the office of recor
der sound intelligence and a capacity to
perform its duties well. He may be de
pended on to transact all business faith
fully and under bis adminstration then
would be no lack of courtesies shown to
all who had dealings with the recorder.
It is pleasant to know that Mr. Maloy is
a genera] favorite with all the Democrat -
of his district, and many Republicans a>
well, and that he has friends and work
ers in all sections of Luzerne. A good
Democrat—Mr. Maloy will no doubt win
out with a handsome majority.
In 1893 the adjutant general got a
salary of $5,000, now ho gets SB,OOO.
The repairs to the state arsenal cost
$2,000 in 1893, in 1895 they cost $3,000.
The adjutant general had a stenographer
and typewriter at SI,OOO in 1893, in 1895
there is a provision of $2,000 for this j
work. All of this makes an excess of
sr>.ooo this year in this department
over 1893. The Republican party cer
tainly knows how to get rid of the
people's money. Will the people put on
the brakes now and stop the leaks by
electing an able state treasurer? There
fore, vote for Hon. Benjamin F. Meyers.
What do you think of the conduct <f
six men of high state rank who, in order
to retain the office of superior court i
judge, to which they were appointed by |
Governor Hastings, went into a bitter
partisan and factional campaign, such j
as that which ended in the victory of j
Boss Quay at the last Republican state j
convention? Every inemberof the super
ior court worked for Quay's downfall, and
in a filthy and corrupt political mud
puddle. Can you conscientiously cast
your vote for such a ticket?
No department in the state machinery
is too small or insignificant to he over
looked by the Republican state treasury
banditti. Here's the state reporter's
office for example: The expenses in
1893 were $12,000, now, under the Re
publican rule, they reach SIO,OOO. an
excess of $4. .00. The present adminis
tration takes everything in sight and
keeps a sharp look-out for something
new. whereby a i honest dollar of this
people can be ; itherod in for political
use and pre : gj.
THE PLATFORM
The Following is the Platform Adopted by the
Williainsport Convention.
First. The Democratic party, In State Con- j
flit! Hl assembled, lien by renews Its alie
■ in nee i • ami declares its faith in the prin
iplcs of Democracy as formulated by Jeffer
son ate! illustrated by Madison. Monroe,
Jii' ksou and Cleveland. It congratulates the
Vinerieen people upon the first fruits of the
i>ennM-i administration, which inherited
Tom its Republican predecessor a bankrupt ,
Treasury and unwise financial legislation, .
inpaired public credit and widespread disns- '
r. .MI.I which, under the sagacious, con rag- 1
"lis ami patriotic leadership of its great
President, Grover Cleveland, led the people |
•lit of the slough of despondency to the
high ground of substantial and increasing
We challenge the fairness of our country- <
iien and ask that the Democratic party now
rocehe tin- benefit of that renewed pros- ]
•crity whose welcome note is heard on every
<lde.
Second. The enactment of the Sherman
llv T-p.nvhasliig act and the McKinicy ,
.•■.riff law found, as accurately predicted by
Mr. ('l.".eland. their results in bankrupt
-ailroads, closed factories, ruined farms, 1
ibamlonoil fields, impaired national credit 1
.ml general disaster. The repeal of such
niquiious legislation and the substitution
f more moderate tariff laws have found
• ir immediate results in the resumption
>f business and the restoration of the nu
ioitai credit. >
Third. As vindicating the principles of
■ ri i reform, i" which the Democracy Is un
<i..bi\ pledged, we challenge especial nt
eiition to the fact tluit such prosperity and \
lie ciiscquent material Increase of wages
:.is been umst pronounced In the industries
whose existence our opponents claimed were
i pendent upon high tariff duties. The
gloomy predict ion that the iron and steel In
•lusiriesof Pennsylvania would be destroyed
a reduced tariff lias been contradicted bj
ilielr present unexampled prosperity.
Fourth. We invite the attention of the
wage earners to tin* fact that the present
voluntary increase of wages of those em
il uyed in tlm manufacturing industries,
a mount itig to not less t Dan S2SiMMJO,UOU, was
absolutely unknown under the McKinicy
tariff a-i. To prevent the reactionary legis
,;ii-"ii threatened by the Republican party 1
.f Pennsylvania in their recent Stale Con
vention. which would again depress busi
ness by destroying faith in the stability of
present conditions, we invite our fellow
countrymen throughout the land, irrespec
tive "i party, to -<■ act together as to in- *
sure, by the election of a Democratic Presi
dent in 1890, the muiutenuuee of the present
prosperity.
Fifth. We especially reaffirm so much of
lite platform of the last Democratic National !
Convention as calls for the use of both gold
and silver as the standard money of the
country: but the dollar unit of coinage of
both metals must be of equal intrinsic and
exchangeable value, or be adjusted by Inter
national agreement, or by such safeguards iff
legislation as shall insure the maintenance
of the parity of the two metals ami lite
equal power of every dollar at ail times in
the payment of debts. We believe that stub
parity could not be maintained by the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of Pi to 1,
and we are. therefore, opposed to any legis
lation looking to that end.
Sixth. We arraign and condemn the pres
ent administration, both in the executive
and legislative brunches of the government,
for its refusal to reapportion the State, in
accordance with the mandates of the Con
stitution; for its profligate waste of public
money: for its creation of private awards
and useless public offices; for its degradation
of the public service in factional contests;
for its unnecessary increase of official sala
ries to the detriment of many deserving
charities of the State; for its legislation fa
vorable io the interests of corporations and
monopolies.
Seventh. We challenge comparison be
tween litis Suite administration, which lias
been so faithless to its pledges, and the
wise, economical and honest administration ;
of Robert E. Pattison, which in the stainless j
purity of its record silenced partisan malig
nity ami justly merited ami received the
almost universal approbation of the people
of this t bunmonwenlt It.
Eighth. We especially invite the sober
consideration of the people of this Slate to
the remarkable factional struggle in the Re
publican party, a struggle which involved no
principle or public policy, but simply the
supremacy of contending factional leaders.
The worst arraignment at our hands of Re
publican misrule falls short of what repre
sentative Republican newspapers and lead
ers testified of each other. The admitted
prostitution of the public service, the invo
cation of corporate influences. the misuse of
Judicial appoint incuts and consequent
prostitution of the Judiciary, the corrupt
use of money in the purchase of delegates,
the at templed terrorism nt liarrlsburg by
men <>r tlie most abandoned type, fix the
high water mark of political debauchery, it
but needed to complete its infamy the
transparent hypocrisy which led a conven
tion, thus constituted, to adopt "with laugh
ter" resolutions condemning the very meth
ods by which its delegates had been selected.
Such condemnation of "The growing use of
money in politics; the eorporat of
the Legislature, municipal Councils, politi- j
cat primaries and elections; the enslave
ment of public officers and employes; favor- |
it ism in granting contracts and the granting j
of exclusive franchises in public necessi
ties." while valuable as evidencing the truth
of the accusations of the Democratic party
in the last quarter of a century, yet coming
from the very source which is responsible
for these evils, constitutes the crowning in
sult to tlie fntclligcnce of u forbearing and
long-aullering people.
DURING NATURES ODD TIMES.
AT Crawfordsville, Ind., in the sum
mer of 1890 tlierc was a shower of fish
and angleworms. The fish were with
out eyes and all about two incites long.
THAT lightning does sometimes st rike
twice in the same place is proven in the
ease of a windmill in Bates county, Mo.,
which was recently struck by a bolt in
exactly the spot where it was similarly j
struck three years before.
A LAKE containing fresh water on '
top and salt water on lite bottom has I
been discovered on Kildin island, Lap- j
land. The lake rises and falls with I
the tide, and the salt water evidently
comes from t lie sea by an underground
channel.
A HEAVY shower of diminutive toads
little larger than potato bugs fell at
Farmingtoni Me., a few days ago, dur
ing what the people there call a "cloud- !
burst." Thousand j of the creatures !
fell in the town and the neighboring
fields.
CiEOROE \V. GOFF, of Punta Gorda,
I la., is becoming a new man. His age
i ninety, and up to a year ago he was
partially deaf, wholly blind and almost
i ald. Some months ago lie recovered
his eyesight, his hearing became per
fect, and now his crop of hair is black
and luxuriant.
A PECULIAR fish, the species of which
has puzzled all of the expert fishermen
of South Darlmouth, Mass., and vi
cinity. was caught in a fish trap there
a few days ago. It is somewhat over a j
foot in length, beautifully striped in j
the water,with a sucker-like appendage
on its back, instead of underneath.

Suspicions Praise.
"A good wife is Heaven's greatest

He seemed to bo thoroughly in sym- ;
pathy with his subject. He added;
"Through her he learns to reach S

J TEXAS STEERS ON A TOOT.
Gorge Themselves with Decayed Apples
and Get Uproariously Drunk.
A herd of Texas steers literally in
i toxicatcd on the fermented juice of
decaying apples is an emergency not <
j contemplated by the authors of the
Kansas prohibition law and its several
crucial amendments, yet such a
spectacle was recently witnessed by
the chief of the metropolitan police <
force of Fort Scott, and the sheriff of 1
1 llourbon county.
Patrick Gorman, an extensive siock
feeder, a few days ago shipped to his
, ranch, ten miles northwest of Fort
Scott, a herd of wild steers from the :
I plains of Texas. During their first
I night on a Kansas ranch they stam-
I peded through the line fence of their 1
pasture into an orchard on the Alf <
j Cleal ranch. The prolific fruit season
had made it unprofitable for Mr. Cleal
! to gather but a small percentage of his j
early apples, and the encumbered trees
i had dVopped their ripened fruit to the
j ground, full three layers deep. The
apples had rotted and were in a state
of fermentation that makes them a '
most intoxicating feast for brutes.
Until the next morning the beasts glut- {
ted themselves, and were found in a ,
condition of inebriety that caused them i
to conduct themselves with that bois
terous hilarity in which man is wont to 1
indulge when inspired by the operation i
of forbidden Kansas "apple jack." The
i effect of the fermented apple juice
I was as varied on the c.'ittle as it would
have been on as many men. finme bel- j
lowed and contorted in drunken de- 4
; buuehery, others were on their muscle
and dangerously vicious, while some ~
i lay helpless and harmless.
Their demonstrations attracted the
neighbors for miles about and the peo
ple from town drove out in crowds to i
' witness the revels of a "steer beer 1
garden." The cattle were rounded up J
and corralled with much difficulty bj' a
| score of experienced cattlemen, several (
i of whom had thrilling escapes from *
the vicious attacks of the drunken ,
I brutes.
A RICH SLICE.
Tho Alaskan Territory That Great Britain |
Is Trying to Gobble Up.
Rev. Father Zonus Rarnum, who has j
recently returned to Baltimore from j
the interior of Alaska, where lie spent r
four years in missionary work among \
the natives, has given an interesting 1
interview regarding the Alaska bound
nry dispute between tho United States ?
and Great Britain.
"The claim made by tho British gov- i
. eminent at the instance of Canadians,"
said ho, "embraces a valuable strip of
laud, a portion of which is tho key to a
I vast cxtont of tho iuterior of Alaska, ! ;
possessing rich mineral resources. An
i other portion would give them control
of tho fine natural harbors, and in a
, i third place they would gain one of tho
! most magnificent scenic regions in the
I world, Glacier bay, which is now be- ;
1 ginning to bo visited by thousands of
1 I tourists from nil over the world during
' tho summer months.
"Although the immense value of this
land cannot be accurately determined,
1 a knowledge of its geographical posi
j lion on the coast shows that great com- i
i merciftl advantages should accrue in
I tho future from its possession by this
' country. It is a long narrow slice, ! ,
( running the whole length of the nar
row irregular district of Alaska that is
! nearest to this country, most temperate j
in climate and the whole part of a ter- (
; ritory that is settled by any consider- j
! üblc number of white men.
! "One important effect of Great Brit- i
. aln's claims, if they should bo allowed, I
j would be that Britain would have con- j
trol of tho route which is the key to \
I the gold fields in tho northwest corner
of Alaska. These fields pan out about
j one hundred thousand dollars each j
year, but it has been stated that thero :
j are rich prospects thero yet unworked,
us well as other mineral resources j
| which, when they become well known, !
; will likely cause considerable immigra
j tion there."
AN IMMENSE SHARK.
Measured Nearly Fifteen Feet and Weighed
About Five Hundred Pounds.
Antono Joseph, an old whaling mate
now stationed as cook of the Cornfield
lightship, Essex, Conn., hooked the
boss shark of the season recently. The
monster measured from nose to tip of
tail 1-1 feet 7 inches, and weighed about
500 pounds. When Mr. Joseph noticed
i the shark under the lightship quarter,
he immediately got out the shark fish
ing tackle and baited tho hook with a
round of Uncle Sam's mess pork, which j
i Mr. Shark very quickly made a meal of
j and was towed alongside of the ship.
| The gulfs were hooked on to him and
: lie was hoisted on board. The sirloin
steaks being removed, be was cast back
Into the sea for the Niantic parties to
' take pictures of or anmo imaginative
reporter to write up as a sea serpent.
