FREELAND, PA., OCTOBER 11, 18D7.
Register Your Protest at the Poll.
It has long been manifest that the
honor, financial integrity and best good
of the state of Pennsylvania demanded
that the Republican party be voted out
of power. Recent evonts show thai
course to bo essential even to the pro
tection of the lives of the working peo
ple. The corporations control the Re
publican party through contributions of
the funds with which its shameless cam
paigns are prosecuted. The Republican
party controls the state, the big cities,
and most of the counties, and. as a con
sequence, sheriff's deputies armed with
deadly Winchesters and the military
forces of the state stand ready at the
call of the corporations to shoot down '
their workiuguien whenever the latter j
display the temerity to ask for rudrenss
of their griovious conditions or an in- I
crease of their miserable wages.
The recent brutal murders of miners
at Lattimer are the most flagrant in- |
stance in point, but are liable to be re
peated any day and in any of our great i
industrial sections unless the govern
ment at Ilarrisburg shall be revolution
ized by Democratic success. What is j
needed is a Democratic legislature to :
make laws for the people instead of for j
the corporations and a state executive '
power independent in all its depart- j
meats of every obligation excepting to j
the people.
As a first step to the achievement of
this object all who are opposed to such !
infamous and cruel subordination of the
powers of the state to the rule of individ
ual greed should unite in helping this
year to elect the Democratic candidates
for state? treasurer and auditor general.
Excepting for the tardy and partial I
revolt of the governor, the official forces j
on Capitol hill constitute a solid phalanx
for plunder of the taxpayers and battle I
against the wage workers in their at- j
tempt to secure something like decent
treatment from their corporation mas- |
ters. The election of Messrs. Brown and
Ritter would be a break and an import- I
ant break in the cabal.
The exposures they would be in a posi
tion to make and the reforms their j
offices would enable them to accomplish
would beyond question pave the way for !
an entire cleaning out of the dirty and !
disreputable mess within a very few
years. Every taxpayer, every working
man, lias deep interest in the good work.
It is the one and only opportunity of
escape from a rule that. for rottenness
and recklessness of popular rights, is j
without parallel in our political history.
General Demand for Postal Hanks.
From the Chicago Record.
No proposition that lias come before
the people of late years has received
such general and hearty approval from
the press of the entire country as the j
plan for the establishment of postal]
savings banks. Not only do the big >
dailies of the cities, as a rule, approve of •
the agitation, but tin? newspapers in the
smaller towns almost without exception j
commend the movement.
While tin- comments in the newspapers .
of the North and West are most numer
ous, tin* press of the Ea->t and South is
by no means backward in supporting !
the agitation. Occasionally an old-time
Democratic paper of the South opposes
the plan on the ground that it is not the
function of the government to do any
thing more than collect the revenues
and protect life and property. These
are the extreme representatives of the
school which holds that that government
is best which governs least. But for
the most part the papers of the South
support the movement for postal banks,
and call attention to the especial need
for thein in that section of the country,
where banks of all kinds are scarce and
where places of safe deposit for small
savings are very far apart.
In examining the many hundreds of
exchanges that cotno into a city news
paper office from all partsof the country
one cannot but be impressed with the
attention given to the subject of postal
banks and the generally favorable com
ment. This discussion of the subject in
the press of the whole country must
have the effect of preparing the minds
of congressmen for speedy action as
soon as they shall meet again in Wash
ington. The unanimity of the press is a
sure indication that the people desire
the establishment of postal savings
banks.

SCHOOL HOARD MEETING.'
Continued from First Page,
is better quality than the contract glass. !
During the discussion the contractor 1
remarked that ho lias lost over SBOO !
on the building. It was also made
known that the contract given some
time ago by the board to Win. William- i
son. to lay pipes for water, etc., had
been provided for in the building con
tract, and the contractor had sub-let the
work to Mr. Kiley, of Hazletou, who j
had started the same. This blunder of j
the board caused many of the spectators
to doubt the alleged carefulness of the
officials and to think that a change was
due some time ago.
Mr. Schaub was nominated for presi
! dent, but declined to serve.
! The secretary then asked privilege to
speak of a personal matter. By the re- ;
| port published In a newspaper the people.!
i were led to believe that
THERE WAS A MYSTERY
j and all that sort of thing connected with
I the marble slab and, further, that he j
i was responsible for the wording as it
j appears. Ho said five members of the ;
j hoard agread to it, and would now ask j
j Mr. Johnson if he was not at that meet- j
ing and agreed to the wording. Mr. ]
I Johnson, as at the previous meeting, j
' disclaimed all kuowlodgo of the trans- '
1 action. Turning to Mr. Schaub. the
I secretary asked him the same question.
I Mr. Schaub, as stated previously in these i
columns, said he has a faint recollection
! of the questioo being spoken of, but, like
Mr. Johnson, he does not remember of
the board deciding that the wording
should ho as it appears. These state
ments did not corroborate with the
secretary's version, and the latter made
I no further efforts to clear away the
| mystery of the tablet.
! Mr. Ferry then asked for the floor,
i which was granted. lie asked the
I architect if ho was not the
board which signed the contract for the
| erection of the new building. The I
| architect answered that he was and that 1
I he took the names of the officers and
| directors of that board. Mr. Ferry
then asked the board if tho president
| and secretary did not
IIEFUSK TO DO BUSINESS
; in Mr. McCarthy's parlor on a certain
evening until he (Ferry) got out. to which
both replied that they did. These ack
nowledgements appeared to satisfy Fer
ry and lie resumed his seat.
The president then gave what lie
claimed to be the history of the slab,
from A to Z, which was that Mr. Riobe
came to him and wanted to know what :
names were to be placed on the tablet, i
He replied that lie did not know, but j
would bring the matter before the board. !
This lie did, ho says, and the members
decided the wording as it appears—and |
that was all about it.
! Mr. Ferry punctured this so-called j
1 history by requesting to be shown
ON THE MINUTES
something to substantiate tho above,
stating that he would then abide by !
j Mr. Sweeney replied that if ho wanted
1 it on tho minutes he (Sweeney) would ;
place It there. After hearing this con- j
fession of how the books could he do -
tored to uphold a wrong, the hoard ad
journed and the audience filed out. the
latter being well satisfied with certain
parts of the proceedings.
According to the statements of Direc- '
tors Johnson, Ferry and Schaub, the '
board has never decided by a majority j
vote that the marble slab should be in- j
scribed as it. Common decency, there
fore, demands that those who are res- I
ponsible for this paradoxical inscription
lay aside, their potty porsonal spites and [
place a truthful tablet on the people's !
building.

SOME OTHER DAY.
When clouds the sullen skies o'ercast
And raindrops patter thick and fast,
And all the earth is chill and drear.
Within your heart let love and cheer
Still live and reign;
The clouds will pass, so never fear;
The sun will greet the earth again.
Some other day.
When loud the winds of winter wall
And flowers perish in the gule.
Let not your burdened spirit weep
As you ascend life's rugged steep,
Or blindly grope
Your way through valleys dark and deep.
Again will shine the star of hope
Some other day.
Some days are filled with clouds and rain,
And life seems naught but grief and pain.
But brighter days shall come anon
When clouds shall all go sailing on
And fade from view;
And 10, behold that promised dawn,
And gloaming skies of azure hue,
Some other day.
Some other dny life's toll and strife,
And storms that seem forever rife
Will pass away: and souls oppressed
Shall lay them down to peace and rest
In realms afar.
That haven of the true and blessed.
That port where saints immortal are-
Some other day!

J CATCHING A CATFISHj
BY e. W. MAYO.
j? ICopyright. :Bg7 ]
AT home in Boston, Tom Sanderson
would hardly have selected Moses
Abraham Smith for u playmate, but
down here in southern Louisiana it was
Mose or nobody. T6m had come down
to spend the winter with his uncle who
was the station agent at Bayou St. Fe
lice. a little halting place on the South
ern Pacific railroad where the engines
sometimes stopped to drink from the
big tank beside tho tracks, but where
lew passengers ever got on or off the
trains. There was but one house in St.
Felice besides the station agent's, and
that was the tumble-down cabin where
old Tobe Smith had lived ever since the
war set him free; there was only one
•I DIDN'T 'SPOSE ANYBODY WHAT It ETCHED WHALES WOULD MIN' A2
ORNERY LITTLIO CATFISH."
boy besides Tom Sanderson, and that
' was Moses Abraham, Tube's son.
| They were a strange pair of playfel
! lows, these two. •Tom was a wide
! awake northern boy accustomed to the
bustle and noise of u big city and pos
sessing what he considered a very com
! plete knowledge of the world in gen
i eral. Mose was as shiftless and happy a
| darky as could be found in the whole
| south. lie had never been to school,
i never had a eare except when the hoe
cake gave out in the little cabin and he
felt lrtmgry. and he never liud to worry
about keeping liis face clean, for it was
naturally as shiny as a well-polished
shoe, lie divided his time between
: sleeping in the warm sun, swimmingin
the warm water of the bayou, and
roaming the woods and fields. Here he
made friends with the birds and rabbits
and even tried to be on good terms with
: the slimy little alligators that crept up
on the muddy banks of the larger bayou
to sleep in the sun as Mose himself
I sometimes did.
Huftin spite of thedifferencesbetween
them, the white boy and the black got
on well together. Tom was naturally
domineering, and Mose was perfectly
satisfied to address him us "Marse
Tom," to do all the rowing when they
I went out on the bayou together, and to
i play that he was pack-horse or slave or
I whatever Tom wished, so long as Tom
kept him well supplied with candy and
| pennies, two things entirely new and
' very pleasant to the darky boy. Mose
| was a good listener, too, and always
I with saucer eyes and open mouth
j while Tom related stories of the sights
| he had seen and the things he had done.
| Sometimes Mose started to tell of his
own adventures, but Tom always had
something much more startling to re
late, even if he had to draw on his
; imagination for it, and Mose swallowed
all his wonderful tales, believing them
to be perfectly true—at least, so Tom
thought. One day Mose had been tell
ing how u catfish that weighed CO
I pounds had been caught in the river
close by. "Oh, that's nothing," said
i Tom, as if catfish were too small for
him to bother with. "Once I was out on
a big whaling schooner in the ocean
i when they caught a whale. They shot a
harpoon into him with a gun, but he
! dragged tlie ship a mile before he gave
! up. and when we got him he was longer
: han the railroad switch out here.""
The only whale Tom had ever seen
j was- a stuffed one in a museum, but he
1 was bound to beat the story Mose had
told about (lie catfish. Mose himself
did not believe that there was a fish
in the world as long- as the one Tom
had described, but he only said: "Golly.
1 doan want nuffin to do wid dem t'ings.
Marse Tom," and rolled his eyes till
only the white showed.
By the next morning Tom had forgot
ten ull about the whale, but Mose had
not.
"Less go cat-fishln'," said he. "It
ain't so exeitin' as shootin 'whales, but
J reckon we can have some fun." •
Tom fell into the trap at once. "All
right," he said, "get out the boat."
Mose left, the big flat-bottomed boat
, which the boys generally used on the
i bank and shoved off the smaller ski IT.
into one end of which he fitted a reel.
The stout line was wound upon the
reel, the big hook was carefully baited,
and Tom took his place at one end
while Mose sat in the other, steering the
skiff with a single oar.
! "We'll jess float down with the cur
| rent," said he, "and see what ketches
us."
A short end from the line on the reel
j was trailing in the water, and Tom
| watched it carefully. Two or three
I times there was a little jerk at the line
I and Tom started to pull it in, but each
time Mose stopped him.
"We're after catfish," said the darky
boy; "doan mind dem little t'ings.
1 You'll know de real tMng when you gits
| it."
I A moment- later they got the "real
thing." There was a rush through the
water that sent a shower of bubbles
to the surface, the loose end of the line
took a dive and then began whirring
off the reel at light ning speed.
"llol' Mm, doan let Mm break dat
line," shouted Mose, as he brought the
boat sharply round t-o point down
stream.
Tom was sure the smoking line had
burned all the flesh from his hands as
it flew through them, but he braced his
feet, clenched his teeth, and tried his
best to hold the small sized hurricane
i hat had seized liis hook. The reel
stopped paying out line now. but the
little boat began to move swiftly
through the water, and Tom feared that
his arm would be yanked off as his
capture dashed from one side of the
stream to the oilier in an effort to free
himself. Ho had no idea as to what he
had hooked, for he could see only a
swirling and foaming in the muddy
water at the end of his line. It was an
alligator most likely, he thought—noth
ing smaller could run away with two
boys and a boat in this way. He de
voutly wished that the line would break,
but he dared not let go for fear the
creature might Tip tlxe boat over and
devour them both.
As they flew along, Tom's terror in
creased. Mose was shouting encour
agement to him from the other end of
the boat and •chuckling to himself
Suddenly, as they sailed out into a
broader pool, the monster turned back.
"Keep the line in front," shouted the
negro lad; "he'll tip us over." But it
was too late. As the line moved back
along the 6ide of the boat and then
tightened again, the little shell rolled
over as easily as a log and both boys
were splashing about in the water.
; Tom imagined he could feel the alli
gator's jaws .closing on his legs, but in
reality it was only the sharp stones,
and shells on the mud bottom, cutting
his bare feet. He scrambled out on
Hie bank with a shriek of terror and
sat there still shaking with fright.
; Then as he heard a shout from Mose he
I looked back and sawt the. black boy
struggling with the monster. "Help,
| help!" shouted Tom at the top of his
! voice, but Mose needed no help nnd
soon waded ashore, dragging with him
the body of a catiish almost as long as
himself. Tom looked at its ugly head
nnd branching spurs, but he was still
too scared to speak.
Mose shook the water from himself
nnd sat down on the bank to regain
his breath. Then as he looked at Tom,
white and trembling, his face broad
ened into a grin.
"Golly, Marse Tom," said he, "I
didn't sjx>se anybody what ketched
whales would min* jess an ornery little
catfish." And Mose rolled on the bank
shaking with .laughter. The fish
weighed a little over 50 pounds, and
Tom never again told of catching
whales.

AMERICA A CENTURY AGO.
There was not a public library in the
United States.
Almost all the furniture was imported
from England.
An old copper mine in Connecticut
was used ns a prison.
There was only one hat factory, and
that made cooked hats.
Every gentleman wore a queue and
powdered his hair.
Crockery plates were objected to be
cause they dulled the knives.
Virginia contained a fifth of the whole
population of the country.
A man who jeered ait the preacher or
criticised the sermon was fined.
A gentleman bowing to a ladyalwaj"s
scraped his foo-t on the ground.
Two stage coaches bore all the travel
between New York and Boston.
A day laborer considered himself well
paid with two shillings a day.
The whipping post and pillory were
still standing in New York.
Beef, pork. salt, fish, potaitoes and
hominy were the staple diet all the year
round.
But'tons were scarce and expensive,
and trousers were fastened with pegs
or laees.
A new arrival in jail was set upon by
his fellow prisoners and robbed of
everything he had.
When a man had enough tea, he
placed his spoon across his cup to indi
cate that he warned no more.
Leather breeches, a cheeked shirt, a
red flannel jacket and a cocked hat
formed the dress of an artisan.
The church collection was taken in a
bag at the end of a pole, with a bell at
tached to arouse sleepy contributors.
THE FARM AND HOME.
Two or three oyster shells thrown
upon the fire with the eoai will help to
absorb any clinkers that may be gath
ering in the stove.
It is said that polishing silverware by
rubbing it with oatmeal is a good plan.
It is worth trying, for it cannot harm
and it may do good.
Where a farm is within a few hours'
distance from market the farmer can
grow fruit or vegetables as well as
staple crops and find ready sale there
for. An acre of land devoted to small
fruits will give a larger profit than can
be derived from several acres of grain. I
Peaches should be put in sirup as
soon as pared and pears and quinces in
cold water to prevent discoloration.
Peaches are firmer and richer if al
lowed to remain over night in the sirup
before t hey are cooked. Five or six pits
should be distributed through each
quart jar.
The cows must first pay for their
board before the profit is given. If the
food eaten does not come back to the
fanner in milk und butter in sufficient
amounts to give a return for the cost
(including shelter and labor) the un
profitable cows should be taken out of
the herd.
Austria is growing in importance as a
market for American apples. Last sea
son the short native crop was supple
mented by our fruit and its su
perior quality so pleased the Aus
tralians that our apples will be
in good demand this year and are
menacing the prospects of the native
growers.

ductors of the "underground railway"
for assisting runaway slaves, died the
other day near Marysville. O. It is
said that Mr. Crotty helped'more than
3,000 slaves to escape to Canada.
It is reported that Verdi has intrusted
to his friend lioito a box containing the
score of a new opera, entirely com
pleted, hut that the box is not to be

until after the Italian composer's
death.
The Augustus Harris memorial fund,
London papers say, now amounts to
more than SIO,OOO and subscriptions are
•still expected by the committee, of
which the prince of Wales is a mem- I
her. A drinking fountain in the crowd
ed neighborhood of Drury Lane is to be
put up with $5,000 of the money. The
rest of the fund is to be devoted to the
endowment of a bed in Charing Cross
hospital for the sole use of members of
the dramatic and musical professions.
STAMPS AND COLLECTORS.
An authority having been asked
which was the rarest United States en
velope stamp, replied that the three
cent die C. 1897, on fawn, unused and
entire, is probably entitled, to this dis
tinction and would be worth nearly
SSOO.
A Washington man who possesses an
entire sheet of the seven-cent navy de
partment, unused, with original gum.
asks for it the modest sum of SI,OOO
Why not? To collectors stamps are
worth what they will bring, regard
less of their original value.
The stamp collector takes verj* little
interest in wars or revolutions, except
as they affect stamp is-sues. The mak
ing of pence between Greece and Tur
key is very unpopular with collectors.
They wanted Greece to be a Turkish
province, or at least Thessaly, o that
there wotdd be a new stamp issue.
Speculation in Canadian jubilees has
already begun. A Canadian firm has
sent out a circular letter offering eight
cent values ut four dollars each, and the
half-cent values for ten dollars each.
As a matter of fact, the eight-cent
stamps can be had for 50.cents and the
half-cent stamps for $1.50 each. This
is high enough,without exaggerating it.
