FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 30, 1807.
Support the Whole Ticket.
From the Wilkesbarre Leader.
There is every reason why every Demo
crat in Pennsylvania should support the
Democratic state and county ticket this
fall. In the first place the candidates
are men who were not foisted upon the
people. Such a condition of affairs is.
happily, a thing of the past. The Demo
cratic party knows no boss at this time
in Pennsylvania. These men are
worthy of the support of every good
citizen who believes in wresting from a
disgraced and shameless party the power
in state affairs it, has betrayed.
The history of Pennsylvania tells us
of no more reckless and plundering body
than the legislature of 1807. It was
largely Republican. It was chosen for
specific purposes—that of electing a
United States senator and moulding into
shape laws for the corporations. That
the members fully justified the expecta
tion of Quay and the corporations he
favors no one can doubt. It is a record
that stands out alone in the history of
Pennsylvania legislatures.
The people know it: the Republican
party laughs about it and is not ashamed:
the Prohibitionists point to it as the
crime of the nineteenth century. But
what do the people who are to go to the
polls next November think about it?
The office of state treasurer and audi
tor general are important offices and
should be filled by worthy men.
Our county ticket is an admirable one;
every man upon it is eminently fitted
for the office to which he aspires: it
represents as far as possible location and
so-called nationality; every man upon it,
is fresh from the people, i> not an office
holder bent upon perpetuating his pres
ent lease of power, but actually stands
as a representative of the people who are
disgusted with the idea of maintaining
an office-holder aristocracy. The ticket
commends Itself not only to the Demo
crats, but to every independent citizen
and taxpayer who desires a more econ
omical administration of affairs in this
country.
tlohrt 1.. Sulli van'ti View of It.
From the New York Journal.
•loliii L. Sullivan, now a powerful
factor in the politics of Boston, may not
possess that social polish necessary to
commend him to the voters of Beacon :
Hill and Commonwealth avenue, but he
can think with his own head. That is
an advantage which not many men en
joy, in oroutof the prize ring, on Beacon
Hill or off it. Mr. Sullivan lias been
using his head to consider the state of
the union, and in today's .Journal, through
Mr. Alfred Henry Lewis, he communi
cates some of tin results of his medita
tion.
It will be seen that Mr. Sullivan dis
proves of the shooting of the miners at
Lattimer by Sheriff Martin and his men.
and objects to the amount of bail on
which that rapid-firing official and his
deputies have been held to answer the
charge of murder. Like all men who i
have risen to eminence in his profession,
Mr. Sullivan has a profound respect for
the, law. yet he holds to the sound
American doctrine that the law should
never play favorites.
Speaking of the Pennsylvania mas
sacre, he puts this doctrine in his own
striking way: "Turn it around. Do
you suppose the sheriff would have shot
into a lot of mine, owners if they'd been
walkln' down the road? Not on your
necktie. An' if the sucker did, would
Sie get off on SO,OOO bail? It would be a
billion."
Two Million*! a Year.
When people buy, try and buy atfuin. it
means they're satisfied. The people of the
United States are now buying Cnscarcts
Candy Cathartic at the rate of two million
boxes a year and it will bo three million lie
lore New Year's. It menus merit proved,
that. Cuscnrcts are tin* most delightful bowel
regulator for everybody the year round. All
druggists, 10c, 25c, 50c a box, nun* guaranteed.

Jlt/i.MY'S HARD BLADE.
Uncle Nat Opened It for Hint .rltli a
Handkerchief.
Jimmy could not get the blade of liis
new knife open. He had tried until the
nails of both his thumbs were broken,
and then he had worked with a screw
driver and a spike, but he couldn't start
the stiff spring.
"Guess you never heard about open
ing a knife with your handkerchief,"
nnid Uncle Nat. good-naturedly.
"With al handkerchief?"
"Yes, with a handkerchief. When I
was a boy that is the way we always
HOW THE BLADE WAS OPENED, j
did, but the boys of to-day seem to have J
forgotten the trick."
Uncle Nat put on his spectacles, drew
out his handkerchief and; wound it
about Jimmy's knife, blade and all. He
did it slowly, so that it would be tight.
Jimmy looked,on wonderingly. When
the winding was finished Uncle Nat I
held the free corner of the hand leer- [
chief firmly between his thumb and
linger and gave the knife a sharp little
twitch and throw. Of course the hand
kerchief unrolled rapidly, and when
the knife flew out the blade was open.
"There." said Uncle Nat. "easy
enough, isn't it?"
And Jimmy was able to do the same
thing at the first trial, and after that
lie wasn't troubled with a blade that
stuck.— Chicago Record.
PREMIUM ON SILENCE.

Won n (let.
Willie Wiggins and his chum. Tommy
Tompkins, were sitting together on the j
curbing down the street the other day, j
when Mrs. Wiggins came to the front j
door and glanced up and down the [
stieet as if looking for some one, says
the Ohio State Journal. Presently she
spied the object of her search and called
out:
"Willie, 1 want yon."
She then reentered the house and
busied herself about her household du
j ties.
A minute later Mrs. Tompkins put
her head out of a window half a block
away and yelled at the top of her voice:
"Tom-my! You come home this verj
I minute!"
! Both boys remained m-ct ion less.
I Neither spoke a word.
Five minutes passed away, when both
| women again made their appearance a*.
! the same moment:
"Oh, Willie," called Mrs. Wiggins.
No answer.
"Tom-my!" shouted Mrs. Tompkins.
"Willie!" again called Mrs. Wiggins.
"I wish you would hurry borne. 1 want
| you."
"Tommy Tompkins." shouted his I
l mother, in an angry tone, "if you are !
i not here in mighty short order I'll see if j
I can't help you along."
Neither the pleading voice of Mrs. !
; Wiggins nor the angry tone of Mrs.
Tompkins seemed to have any effect on
i the two boys and they both remained
silent and motionless as their respect ive
i mothers again disappeared. About two
minutes later Willie put in his nppear
; a nee.
"Did you want me, mainina?" he
| asked.
"Did 1 want you?" exclaimed his
mother. "Of course I wanted you. Why
I didn't you come when I first called
| you?"
"'Cause Tommy Tompkins bet men j
i cent's worth of candy lie could keep
from spcakin' longer'n I could," replied
Willie, "lie didn't do it, though," In
continued. as lie drew himself up with
the air of a victor. His ma came after
him with a switch."

When traveling on long journeys the
dromedaries are in many cases required
to travel all day and night, and tlu-y are
kept up lo their task by smoking cigars.
