THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW. It is a significant fact, as noted by Democratic journals of the state, that in the present campaign the people seem to be doing their own thinking. For many years they have observed the suggestive earnestness of the Quay combine when a state treasurer is to he elected. They have been led to be lieve that there is something which they ought to know, which has been kept from them, and they have about made up their minds that they will solve this great mystery. Senator Penrose, in a recent elaborate speech, tried to make It appear that the public records of the treasury vindicated Re publican management. He claimed that there was no evidence of wrong doing, etc. All this may be true, but every one knows that while the official statements alluded to give nothing away that hurts anybody, the story is not thus told in full. A mere summary of receipts and expenditures is not what is wanted. It is the between-tiraes doings that the taxpayers are after. For instance, at one period recently, the treasury had on hand $8,000,000 in cash. Think of the possibilities of self enrichment herein embodied. The hanks only pay the state two per cent, interest. How much more is paid—somebody else, aad to what extent, is the tempting opportunity for illegal and dangerous speculation utilized? Further, an hon est treasurer can prevent the looting of the public cheat by legislative raid ers in many ways. Then the power of control over those interested in the management of the favored hanking institutions has been systematically used to raise large campaign and cor ruption funds in aid of the machine and its candidates. The treasury, indeed, has been the citaidel of the ring for a generation and more. Such an inquisitive and fear less investigator as Mr. Coray, might find out many queer things and the peoplo seem to be determined to give this intrepid foe of the machine a chance to "root" at. will; to turn on the light and show up the whole busi ness. This spirit of curiosity will be turned to good account at the poll* next week. There is no partisan issue at stake. It is a plain question of open and honest management of the public finances against the odious and costly method of the long entrenched ring. There surely will he a great vote this year for this practical reform can didate for state treasurer. James Barrett is a plain American citizen who has risen froin the ranks of the breaker boys of the county. As a candidate for recorder he is entitled to the votes of all worklngtuen. He is one of the men who manfully fought and suffered in behalf of organized labor. For the first time in his life he asks his fellow-men to give him their support in his efforts to rise higher. Ho is worthy of every vote in the county and should not bo forgotten on election day. With the enormous defection in the Republican ranks this year, there is no doubt but that the Democrats will sweep this county by an overwhelming majority. The signs of defeat for the corrupt machine are to be seen on every side. This county needs men like John Lynch and A. M. Freas on the bench. Laboring men's troubles form no small quantity of court business and they need honest ineu to sit as judges on their - iitS. The name of McLean Is an honored one in Luzerne county, and as controller of our county George R. McLean may be depended upon to pass It along bright and untarnished to future generations. The Democratic candidate for sheriff. A. H. Jacobs, is a former resident of town, and Freoland voters will show their confidence iu him by rolling up a li i£e majority next Tuesday. (MAY'S ACCEPTANCE ftsform Candidate for State Treas urer ou Campaign Issues. THE UNION OF HONEST VOTERS Redemption of Pennsylvania From Misrule Is the Supreme Duty of the Hour. Philadelphia, Oct. 24. —The following rorrespoudence was made public today; Philadelphia, October 24, 1901. To Hon. Ellsha A. Coray. Jr.; Having been appointed a committee to notify you formally of your nomi nation as a candidate for the office of state treasurer by the Democratic party of Pennsylvania, we take the opportu- '■ nity of performing the pleasant duty. | You have not been chosen for this j Important position because of any po litical opinion to which you subscribe, ! nor of any political party to which you belong; hut for the higher reason that you are regarded as an upright, cour ageous and competent man, who will carefully guard the public interests, should you be elected to the office for which you have been named. We believe the great, majority of the honest, intelligent citizens of the state want a man at the head of the state treasury who is honest, fearless and capable, no matter what opinion he may hold as to purely political topics. The questions that test a man's fitness for the important office for which you have been named are; Is he honest? Is he courageous? Is he capable? Believing that you fully represent all that good citizens demand, you have been selected as our candidate and we feel that you will receive the cordial support of every Democrat who has the welfare of his state at heart. In selecting you as its candidate the party is but folllowing the advice of that great Democrat, Samuel J. Tilden, whose memory is revered by our party as one well worthy the honor which it had universally received. On No vember 2, 1871, he delivered an address which found a responsive echo in every intelligent man's mind. In that ad dress occurred the following extract: "If we find our dwellings wrapped in flames we should not inquire whether it was an Irishman or a German; whether it was a Republican or Demo crat who lent us a hand to put out the fire. And on this occasion, in this great city, knowing nothing about the action of your committee of seventy except what I have heard, caring, noth ing who unites with us or with whom j we unite for this grand object. I come before you to advocate a union of all honest men against a combination of plunderers." The necessity that existed for a union of honest men in New York when Samuel J. Tilden uttered these words, exists in a still stronger sense today, In Pennsylvania; and it is be lieved that your selection as a can didate will aid materially in bringing j this union about, and we sincerely hope ! that you will accept the nomination in the same spirit in which it is ten dered and that you may be triumph- I antly elected and the cause of good citizenship vindicated. ANDREW J. PALM, C. E. INGERSOLL, F. J. FITZSIMMONS, GEO. R. DIXON, JOHN T. FISHER. MR. CORAY'S REPLY. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee: Replying to your letter advising me of my selection as the candidate of the Democratic party of Pennsylvania for the office of state treasurer, I desire in accepting the nomination to say, I appreciate the trust you have reposed in me. To justify that confidence and to carry into effect the principles enun ciated in your platform, so far as they relate to the office of state treasurer, will be my single purpose if elected. I also wish to express the honor which I feel in being associated on the ticket with so pure and able a jurist as Judge Yerkes, whose election at this time, for obvious reasons, is a matter of great importance. In this connection It may not be in appropriate to make some allusion to the issues of the campaign. During the first five months of the present year, the people of Pennsylvania were permitted to witness the unfolding of the most ingeniously devised and gi gantic scheme of public plunder ever attempted In any single session of the state legislature. The scheme involved the purchase of the organisation of that body. It involved the purchase of a seat In the United States senate. It involved the changing of the libel laws for the purpose of muzzling the public press. It involved the destruction of popular government incitlesof the first class. It involved laying all the real estate of the great City of Philadelphia under tribute to the machine. Finally, it involved reimbursement to the ma chine and its henchmen for all the time and trouble Incurred by them selves. out of the assets of the com monwealth —that Is to say the tax payers of the state were to he made t.o pay the expenses of their own humil iation and robbery. It was in the spirit, of resistence to this conspiracy that fusion had its birth: the decent Democrats and decent Republicans in the legislature laying aside all ques tions of party policy upon which honest men may honestly differ, fought shoulder to shoulder for the honor of the commonwealth and the protection of Its taxpayers. In that battle ycu-. 1 state chairman. Mr. Creaky, and Rep resentative Palm, were among the fore most champions of the rights of the people. The resultp of the struggle there waged are now matters of history. The public press is still free to expose the schemes of the corruptionists, and 1b Improving the opportunity. The state's subfluvial deposits of coal have not changed ownership. The supreme court has removed the tax ripping club the machine held over the City of Philadelphia. Popular government, however, is suspended In our cities of the second class. Trolley franchises worth millions of dollars recently owned by the state now repose in the pockets of the machine leaders —suffi- cient in value to pay all the expenses of all the larceny committed; and to gether with the many smaller grabs, variously disguised, leave a handsome margin of profit to the machine for its session's work. The harmonious action of the Union and Democratic parties concentrates the heretofore divided opposition which has hindered effective protest being made against the machine at the polls. The spirit and purpose expressed in the platforms of tbe Democratic and Union parties are Identical. They speak for honest, government. The machine platform endorses all the plundering acts committed by the legislature. The issue is thus squarely drawn. The struggle is transferred from Uie halls of the legislature to the people. This is the court of last resort. Victory for the machine would Inevitably be con strued as an endorsement of all the iniquities of which It has been guilty. This election will have an Important bearing upon the contest for governor and the legislature next year. If the machine is entrenched when the legis lature of 1903 convenes, the largest army of spoilsmen that ever assembled at Harrisburg will be on hand clamor ing for the flesh pots. Another United States senator is to be elected at that time, and the machine has no other assets with which to pay for services rendered its candidates, than those they get out of the commonwealth. The kind of government we have in Pennsylvania comes high, but the peo ple can have It indefinitely if they are willing to vote for it, and pay for it. It is Inconceivable, however, that they will do this any longer, and I am confident the day of deliverance is at hand. Recognizing that the Democratic party of Pennsylvania by their plat form adopted August 15, 1901, have made these questions the issue of the present campaign for the purpose of overthrowing the corrupt ring which now manages public affairs, I have no hesitation in accepting the nomination of your party upon that platform. Very truly yours. E. A. CORAY, JR. October 24, 1901. WORK INGMEN, IT'S UP TO YOU Here Are Facts For the Toiler to Con sider. The election is at hand and every citizen should cast an honest intelligent vote—a vote unstained by threat or bribe. The laboring man who does not vote to defend himself, his family and his business against men who have refused to aid him when he needed help, ought to lose his right to cast a IWlot. The laboring man who does not vote as he strikes, in favor of better wages and better conditions is false to himself, to his family and to his fellow workingman. Hon. E. A. Coray, Jr., who is now a candidate for state treasurer was also a member of the legislature and voted for every one of the laboring man's bills. F. A. Harris is also a candidate for state treasurer and he was likewise a member of the last legislature. How did he vote on their bills? He did'nt vote at all, but played the coward and dodged every one of them, and yet he has the impudence to ask workingmen to vote for him. Mr. Coray voted for the employer's liability act, allowing the laboring man the right to sue for damages if he is injured by the fault of an employer. How did Mr. Harris vote? Just as he always did, against the interests of the common people and in favor of corporations. Every man who earns his bread by honest toil owes it to him self and his fellows to do all he can against Harris and all his kind. Coray was always right. Harris was always wrong.

The Tall Story That !m Told of a Pa rlalnn Gourmet. Paris Is par excellence the city of gourmets and cranks, nnd many a story concerning them has added to the gayety of the nations, liere is one of the latest, told by a well known French head Waiter: One of the regu lar customers of a famous Parisian restaurant used to be a short, thin, shy and shabbily dressed man whose name no one knew, but who gave out that he was a butter dealer, for which reason he was called the butter man at the restaurant In question. lie ate next to nothing, but his soup tureen, tilled with a soup specially pre pared for him, was always put before him. He took a few spoonfuls aud hod It taken away. Next came a whole fillet of beef, from which he cut the tiniest slice. Then followed four quails or a large chicken, of which he ate one mouthful, together with two lettuce leaves and one radish. Ills dessert was four grapes—never a sin gle one more—and a cup of coffee. A bottle of the best claret and another of the best champagne were served with the repast, but he only wetted his lips with a drop from them and let them go. He took two of these meals a day. and the price for each meal was 120 francs. Hut this was not all. Every time the butter man got up from his ex traordinary meal he gave 40 francs to the head waiter, who put his food on his plate, since the guest did not like to haudle spoons or dishes; 20 frantw to the waiter, 10 francs to the woman cashier and 5 francs to the porter. Thus each meal came to 200 francs. The head waiter of the restaurant of t>en did slight errands for him, buying his cigars, etc., and took them to the Grand hotel, where the butter man lived. The little old man would then open the drawer of a wardrobe filled with heaps of bank notes of from 100 francs to <SOO francs in value and with an enormous mass of goldpleces. "Pay yourself," said tbe owner, nnd the head waiter did so, putting the bills before his patron, who never deigned to look at them. One day the mysterious millionaire went away, and was never seeu again. —Westminster Gazette. HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

When Grace Won A Barnard college girl tells in the New York Times of visiting in a house hold where grace was said at the table semioccnslonally. Her curiosity got the better of her, and she asked the ml stress of the house why they didn't observe the rite regularly. "Why," said the lady with some surprise, "we say grace only when we have reason to be thankful. We never dream of giving thanks when we have only roast beef or beefsteak or some simple tldng like tlw+; but whenever we have game or something really nice then we sny grace, for it's worth while."
