FREELAND, PA., JUNE 8, 1899.
Modern Republicanism.
The citizens of Freeland had an
opportunity on Monday of witnessing a
typical demonstration of modern Re
publicanism. The district convention
held here on that day was enough to
make the political purist abandon all
hope of ever again seeing politics con
ducted on the old lines, when merit and
not money was the leading factor in the
struggle for supremacy at party gather
ings.
In the ranks of the Republican party
in the Fourth legislative district there
are many voters, hundred* no doubt,
who have higli ideals in politics and
who earnestly desire that their party .
and society in general shall not be con
taminated by the improper use of
money, power and prestige.
Of these voters we ask how long do
they suppose such conditions as pre
vailed at the late convention can con
tinue without lowering our standard of
civilization, and why do they persist in
supporting and accepting as leaders
those men who are debauching and
debasing the manhood of their party?
When respectable men will close their
eyes to the awful onslaughts that are
being made on the civic virtues and
patriotism of the people, when they will
tolerate and by their silence abet the
disgraceful scenes onactcd at these
gatherings, what hope can they hold out
to themselves and to their fellow
citizens who would purge society of the
baneful influences now at work which
are eating, cancer-like, the very founda
tions of our political system?
It was not on Monday that money,
power and prestige first appeared in
conventions held in the Fourth district,
but never before did these throe agencies
exert such an influence in determining
the result, and never before were they
used so openly and unblushingly and by
men from whom better politics are
expected.
It is unnecessary to go into details.
When it is said that money and power
without limit controlled the convention,
all has been said that is necessary to in
form tho average man of what took
place.
If this convention was an exception to
the custom today prevailing in the Re
publican party, more stress might be
laid on its evil work, but it was not. It
was a fair specimen of modern Republi
canism—a fair specimen of the quality
of politics which has tho nation, the
state, the county and tho district in its
grasp.
Rentore Peace at Once.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Anybody with half an eye can see
that the thing to do in the Philippines
is to crush opposition and restore peace,
and to do it swiftly, surely and for good.
It is too late to think of any other plan.
If the force at the command of General
Otis be too small—and the fact that it
is has become obvious to all not will
fully blind—it should be increased until
its adequacy for tho purpose should bo
beyond doubt.
Congress has invested the president
with ample power to deal with the
emergency. Under the circumstances
the pottering and wabbling policy of
the administration—its anxious heark
ening for popular approval and its
feeling of the public pulse—is sadly out
of place. Men who aspire to leadership
and yet shirk the responsibilities of
leaders present a spectacle which is
unvthiug but inspiring.
Opportunism may serve in the manage
ment of division politics, but In military
affairs it wiil not do. The war in tho
Philippines is not nearly over, notwith
standing the late deluge of semi-olTicinl
bulletins from the war department as
serting that it was; and it will never be
over until the situation shall be fully
understood and firmly and resolutely
met.

Progress of the People of New Zealand.
lu a recent number of The Outlook is
an article by Hugh 11. Lusk on "Indus
trial Emancipation In .New Zealand,"
which no doubt will be read widely with
great interest. It can hardly fail in
that, so remarkable are the statements
of fact made therein. The history of
the industrial achievements accomplish
ed in that far-oil land read almost like
a story of romance.
' As the writer says, and as the more
| intelligent members of the public know,
' New Zealand, during the last twenty
five years, "has been the workshop of
social and political experiment."
Almost everything bearing a char
acter of this sort which political econo
mists of the old school have been dis
posed to regard with extreme aversion,
amounting almost to horror, and to
pronounce dangerous, have there been
put to trial; and, what is more, after
periods of temporary failure, which
needed modifications introduced in this
direction or that, have resulted in un
questionable success,
And a thing which will very certainly
strike the reader as most remarkable in
these experiments of an industrial and
kindred nature, Is that they have not
had their orgin and outworking
by reason of the often unendurable
pressure of' labor conditions, so well
known in older parts of the world, and
have not sprung up as the result of
social agitation, but have had an al
together different source.
The seed of the evolutionary growth
has been entirely of another kind. New
Zealand is not a manufacturing country
in any proper senso. The spring in the
movement forward in labor lines, lead
ing eventually to the industrial emanel- (
pation witnessed there today, took its
rise in the first instance from a very
simple condition of things.
The government itself had, from
necessity, from the poverty of the
people or the lack of capitalists, to do
the first railroad building in the colony,
and then to operate the roads aftor they
j were built.
It was government ownership from
the start; government management or
control from the halting initial step on
ward —hence, government employment
of labor, government regulation of the
hours of labor.
And so on, little by little, the move
ment proceeded, but so great have been
the advantages found in connection —
amounting almost to a beneficence—
that today we have in those islands at
tho antipodes what is represented as
almost an industrial paradise.
The article hero referred to shows in
detail what is thus noted, carrying the
reader through from tho small and
tentative beginnings to the full out
flowing of the conditions prevalent
today, when legally tho hours of a
week's labor in New Zealand are forty
four, and a system of old-age pension
has been established for all who, having
reached the age of sixty-live, are with
out sufficient means of support.
Mr. Lusk, with eloquence and pardon
able pride, closes his article with these
words:
It will be evident to every reader that
at each step In this legislation the
parliament and people of New Zealand
have ignored deliberately the recognized
canons of economic science. They have
laid themselves open to tho oft-repeated
charge of destroying tho spirit of self
reliance and substituting one of state
dependence in the mass of the people.
They have done everything which could
well be thought of to Incur the ban of
the economists and to draw down upon
their country the doom of an industrial
decay.
It is interesting, if only as a matter of
curiosity, to note that these flagrant
economic sins do not as yet show any
signs of calling down upon them the
expected punishment. New Zealand
today is flourishing, and, strange to say,
is growing wealthy year by year, in
spite of all. Her workers appear to
produce, in spite of their short hours of
labor, notwithstanding their half-holi
day weekly, more remarkable produce
than the workers of almost any other
country in the world.
Last year they sent away produce,
for tho most part agricultural, equal in
value to $75 a head for every inhabi
tant of the colony. They had land
in cultivation equal to more than
fifteen acres for every person in
tho country, sheep to tho number of
twenty-six for each inhabitant: and cat
tle to tho number of more than one and
a half for each. The ordinary banks of
the colony held on deposit fully $92 for
each person of the community, while
the savings banks held an additional
SB6.
These figures are taken from the
latest official returns of the colony, and
challenge comparison witli the condition
of tilings in any other country, however
great or wealthy, that the world can
show, and they would at least appear to
raise, as a matter for discussion and
further inquiry, the truth of the
doctrines so arrogantly declared to lie
unalterable laws of economic science.

MANUFACTURE OF MATCHES
[s One of the Largest and Most Important
of Industries.
The manufacture of matches, trivial
| is it may seem, is one of the largest
ind most important existing. So large
in amount of money is invested in
their manufacture that in France it is
i Government monopoly and a consid
erable portion of the revenue of the
State Is derived from this source. The
nearly value of the matches made in
Fngland alone is said to amount to
nearly $10,000,000 each year, and that
the numbers that the makers turn out
iaily exceed 300,000,000. In France
the Government monopoly Is let to a
company for a minimum annual pay
ment of over $5,000,000, with a great
increase if a certain number is ex
ceeded. Among the largest factories
in Europe are those of the Scandinav
ian peninsula and England. In Ger
many, however, there are between 200
ind 300 factories. Of the dangerous
material phosphorus, which is employ
-3d in the manufacture, between 1,000
ind 2,000 tons are annually consumed.
The general character of phosphorus
is that of an exceedingly inflammable
substance, burning slowly in the open
air and shining with a luminous ap
pearance in the dark. In this state it
is one of the most poisonous sub
stances known, less than two grains
having been known to cause the death
of an adult human being, and innu
merable cases have occurred of chil
dren being poisoned by sucking the
ends of a few matches.
On the other hand, heated without
exposure to the air for some short time
the phosphorus changes into a red
powder, which is perfectly insoluble
in water, not combustible and not in
the slightest degree poisonous. In
this latter state it is mixed with other
substances and placed on the outside
of the boxes of what are termed safety
matches. These matches consist of
non-poisonous chemical materials that
will not ignite when struck on any or
dinary surface, but are immediately
set on fire by rubbing on the box,
which is covered with a preparation of
innocuous red phosphorus.
But, unfortunately, the public at
large prefers matches which will ignite
when struck on any surface and the
manufacture of these is necessarily at
tended with risk to the workers, the
people who are most seriously affected
being the girls who pack the finished
matches in the boxes in which they are
sold. By practice their dexterity be
comes so great that they almost invari
ably take up in one hand the exact
number required.

Janmlne I'lpe Stem**.
In Turkey, the Jasmine Is extensively
grown for the manufacture of pipe
stems. For this purpose the stems of
the growing plant are trained with the
greatest care until they have attained
the proper length and size. The bark
is protected by a wrapping of varnish
ed linen or calico. Two or thvee tlmes
a year this will be taken off and the
bark treated to a citron Juice bath.
This is said to give it the light color
so much sought after. Some of these
pipe stems are from ten to eighteen
feet in length and bring as much as

USEFUL CRAWLERS.

Mkny people will be surprised to
learn that a use has been found for
our friend the cockroach. For years
he has been branded as a pest, and we
have dosed him with borax, plaster of
paris and insect powder. Now the ta
bles are turned, and the insect physics
us. American doctors say that tincture
of cockroach is good for asthma, and
the preparation has been used lately in
England. Anyone wishing to try the
remedy can make it by soaking four
latgc cockroaches in an ounce of spirit
of wine for a few days. Twenty drops
of this liquid on a lump of sugar ought
to charm away the worst attack. Of
ccwrse, patients might object to the
word cockroach, but the Latin name,
Llatta Orientailis, is sufficient to allay
tho fears of the most particular. Cock
roach tea is a favorite domestic medi
cine with the working classes in Rus
sia. If cockroaches will cure us, there
is no reason why spiders should not be
tried also. As a matter of fact, they
have been used by the homoeopaths for
years. Solomon told us we could find
spiders even in kings' palaces, but now
adays we can trace them in innocent
looking tinctures and sugar pills. Tar
antula pilules is a title that should be
worth a fortune if well advertised,and a
tincture prepared from the mygale—
the great bird-eating spider of Mexico
—ought certainly to possess equal vir
tues. Our choice, however, is not con
fined to giant spiders.
The garden spider, with the gold or
silver body, so common in the sum
mer, will yield a useful preparation—
If we may trust to the homoeopa
thic pharmacopeia. A few of these
Insects rubbed down In a mortar with
a little spirit, will make a "moth
er tincture," from which countless
dilutions can be prepared. If this will
not suffice, the black curacoa spider,
from West Indian orange groves, or
the gray spider of Kentucky, may be
used, according to taste. The homoeo
paths are fond of beetles, and they
treat ladybirds in the same way as
spiders. They also get an essence from
the Colorado beetle—the insect which
ruined the potato crops a few years
back. It is one thing to rob the bees
wholesale and secure their wax and
honey, but it is rather hard lineß on
poor apis melliflca, to turn her into
medicine as well. But she has to go in
with the rest, and yield her life in the
cause of science. Of course, anyone
who has felt a bee's Btlng knows what
a powerful drug its poison must be.
It's rather dangerous work robbing a
hive of bees of their stings and poison.
The method recommended in books is
simple, but exciting. The bees are to
be caught in a bottle as they leave their
home in the morning. They are then
deprived of their poison bags and
stings by means of scissors, and the
severed portions are soaked in spirit
to make a tincture.
Besides insects, other queer things
are used in medicine at the present
time. To give only two examples, rem
edies are prepared from the starfish
and the crayfish. Snake venom —no-
tably that of the cobra, the rattlesnake
and the adder—is sometimes used.
Nowadays a great many drugs of ani
mal origin are being experimented
with, and some people prophesy that
they will eventually oust all the rest.
What the Bride Nald.
An English rural clergyman says
that one day a bride startled him by
promising, in what she supposed to be
the language of the prayer book, to
take her husband "to 'ave and to 'old
from this day forni't for betterer
horse, for richerer power, in slggerness
health, to love cherries and to bay."
What meaning this extraordinary vow
conveyed to the woman's own mind,
the incumbent said, baffled him to con
jecture.
The Dlahos'i Protest.
A great many Episcopal clergymen
probably would sympathize with the
English bishop who said recently:
"The two things of which I am the
most tired are 'The Church's One
Foundation' and cold chicken. The
hymn seems always to be chosen
wherever I go, and kind hostesses,
with quite extraordinary unanimity,
provide cold chicken for luncheon."
Dawson Nomenclature.
The carrier who serves the Klondike
Nugget to subscribers in Dawson has
considerable trouble in finding their

thus described in the subscription
book: "The cabin with the screen
door," "the slab house facing the
river," "the big tent with two stove
pipes," and "the cabin three doors
south of where all the dogs are."
Tranaportatlon of Prisoners.
The transportation of prisoners to
their own country by the victors is
not a novelty In warfare. In 1808, after
the defeat of the French at the battle
of Vimiero, Portugal, the victorious
English deported 22,000 French prison
ers, with their equipments, from Porto
and Lisbon, and landed them at Brest.
