MISSION OF TRUE DEMOCRACY. For a full quarter of a century, the Democratic party in Pennsylvania has been battling with the vicious and cor rupt forces that have at times so deep ly disgraced the majority party that the conscience of Republican voters has rebelled. Every reform victory won in Philadelphia, Pittsburg or any part of the state, has been chiefly the work of patriotic Democratic voters, who have courageously performed their duty at the polls. Twice an honest and fearless executive was elected and in the face of the most discouraging ob stacles a substantial working force has served the people most effectively. The true spirit of Democracy is always hos tile to the elements represented by Qutyism in any form. So in the present campaign for the rescue of the state treasury from the control of the ring and the protection of the court of last resort from demor alizing machine contamination, the Democratic citizenship of the common wealth must be looked to for six-sev enths of the voters necessary to secure the success of the fusion movement. That the rank and file of the party will be fully equal to the occasion there can be no manner of doubt. They re cognize the supreme fact that in such a contest mere partisanship must be secondary; that the first duty is to the state. Thus they are ready to join bands with the foes of machine misrule at every point. Their purpose is to overthrow the enemies of honest government and to that end their votes will be oast next Tuesday in solid ar ray. A victory for fusion will be the triumph of pure democracy, for this combined effort is in behalf of the principles for which honest Democrats have always valiantly contended. That success can be won is clear enough, if patriotic men fully realize their opportunity and their duty. There are 500,000 Democrats in Penn sylvania today and they have never had a better chance to express their convictions. A vote for Yerkes and Coray means the condemnation of the fc-orst ring that ever cursed any state; an effective protest against every form of political and official debasement. These reform candidates stand for the practical exemplification of bedrock American principles. They meet the Jeffersonian requirements. They are clean, able, experienced, honest and courageous. It is the mission of true Democracy to support such candidates at all times. Let every Democratic voter, therefore, go to the polls and help to strike down the long entrench ed ring of public pirates that have mis ruled and plundered the common wealth. The Democrats of Luzerne county have seldom placed before their fellow citizens a ticket which should meet with more support than this year. The names of Lynch, Jacobs, McLean, Bar rett, Berge and Allegar stand for all that is upright and honest, and to the present day their opponents have not been able to openly say one word against their characters and reputations. In dividually and collectively the Demo cratic candidates an; a credit to their party, and Luzerne county citizens will do themsolves credit by electing theui to office next Tuesday. Independent Republicans who vote for Coray and Yerkes will aid in dealing the state octnpns a telling blow, but they must remember that the state * machine derives its strength from the local machines throughout the state, and the. Luzerne branch is one of Quay's most ardent supporters. To deal a death-blow, vote against the Republican county ticket, as well as the state candi dates. _ Republicans in Luzerne who have county-office aspirations must wait until the present gang dies or is driven out of politics. This is going to be a house cleaning year in the statp, why not make it the same in Luzerne? The party is not pledged to give a few Re publicans ail the offices all the time. THE WAY TO SECURE lIONEST EI.ECTIONS Every Citizen Should Vote For the Constitutional Amendments. The proposed amendment to the constitution in the interest of personal registration is one of the most im portant matters that will come before the people at the November election. While the general interest revolves around the election of the state and county officers, the fact should not be lost sight of that the registration amendment is a direct stride in the direction of reform in the methods of conducting the elections in Pennsyl vania. The defeat of the amendment at the coming election will prevent its reintroduction in the legislature within a period of five years. The registration amendment has been endorsed by the new Union party, the Democratic organization and the independent lenient generally. At the same time many individual leaders of the Republican party have expressed themselves as heartily in favor of the amendment. The proposed amendment discrimi nates between the cities and the country, enabling the legislature, in providing for personal registration, to sonflne It to the larger cities of th# commonwealth. This discrimination between the cities and the rural district is in re cognition of the fact that to compel personal registration in the country would entail only hardship and need less expense, without bringing about any good result. Personal registra tion in Philadelphia and the larger cities of the state means the practical elimination of the fraud which has become notorious in connection with the elections. SI IALLTHE PEOPLE RULE? How the Quay Ring Violates the Law In Philadelphia. In a recent speech at an enthusiastic Democratic meeting in Philadelphia, ex-Governor Pattiaon said: "The old adage that 'ln union there is strength' was never truer than it is in this canvass. The same uniformity of purpose that was necessary in the early '6o's for the preservation of the nation is essential today to preserve the integrity of our city. I do not re call a campaign in 30 years in which the citizens of Philadelphia and Penn sylvania presented such a united front against a debauched and disgraceful rule as they do today. "The men who are in power today have an absolute disregard for the con stitution. upon which all legislation is based. Instead of a government ef the people, for the people and by the peo ple. the condition that we have today is a government of officeholders, for officeholders and by officeholders. "Consider one part of it alone —the ballot laws. That no policeman, no firemen, no city officials shall interfere in elections or try in any way to con trol or influence the people's votes. And what have we today? As I learned in a recent tour of the wards, the city is absolutely under the power of these men. At every polling place you will find 15 or 110 officeholders with clubs. The old-fashioned people would never have allowed that; they fought for their rights. How long are we going to allow It? "And yet there are some of us who are indifferent to all this, who say 'my family first, then my state.' Fellow citizens, the first duty of every man Is to his state —if it were not for his state he would have no family. We must throw off this yoke. I believe sincerely that we will be restored to our own on election day." The Democratic press of Pennsylva nit never made a finer showing of gen uine patriotism than during the pres ent fight for the honor of the common wealth. It is an aggressive unit for a successful movement against the combined public plunderers. Vote for Yerkes and Coray. No right thinking American citizen can have any respect for a Judge of any court who secretly gives away in advance its decisions. Such unprofes sional and unjudicial conduct in a member of the highest tribunal in ths state is to be condemned without mercy. Vote for Yerkes. This is the year when the Demo cratic voters of Pennsylvania sre com ing out with their fighting clothes on. That means a great vote for Yerkes and Coray, two of the best, candidates ever presented for the suffrages of the ling suffering people of this state. This is the year when a great non partisan movement in Pennsylvania means the overthrow of Quaylsm and all that it implies. This is why the machine is working secretly but des perately to keep its grip on the state treasury. During the last, session of the most corrupt legislature Pennsylvania ever knew, the machine forces united to serve themselves. Now it is the peo ple's chance to stand together in their own interests. Vote for Yerkes and Coray. In politics the honest should find out what, the machine wants him to do, and then quietly vote the other way. Mark your ballot for the' reform candidates, Yerkes and Coray. CASTOZILZA.

Almost distracted by its constant crying, and worn out with weary, anxious care and watching, she tries every thing possible to obtain even relief for the little sufferer. With what comfort and delight she sees her little one drop off into a deep peaceful health-giving slumber, after its little clogged bowels are cleared of their poisonous bnrden by a single doss of Laxakola, the great tonic laxative and mother's remedy.

This anecdote proves the profitable character of good manners and was told to me by a descendant of the gen tleman who owned them: Mr. M. of was a rebel lu 1745. He was taken and was being brought to the tower with Kilmarnock and Bulmerl no. A block stopped the sad cortege, and a lady, looking from a window, cried, "You tall rebel" (Mr. M. was 6 feet 4 inches), "you will soon be short er by a head!" "Does that give you pleasure, mad am?" said Mr. M. "Yes, it does." •Then, madam," said Mr. M., taking off liis hat and making u low bow, "1 do not die in vain." Lady was moved. She made in terest for Mr. M. There opts a paper In the hand of George 11. to this effect: "Let Lady I the name is obliterat ed J have access to lier tali rebel and be hanged to her." The royal clemency was extended to Mr. M. I saw ids pardon, beautifully engrossed within a decorative border and framed, on the wall of his descend ant's study. It is fair to add that prac tically the whole county of Ross and also the Earl of Sutherland petitioned for the life of the courteous Mr. M.— Andrew Lang in Longman's. lloir to (ifow Short. If you climb a mountain, your height decreases by three-quarters of an inch, and it may even diminish, exceptional ly, by a full inch. This Is a fact known to all experi enced mountain and Alpine climbers. On reaching the summit of the heights that form the pleasure ascents of holi day makers in the Alpine districts the stature of the climber Is found to have become less to the extent already men tioned. Doctors think that the attitude as sumed of necessity in ascending is the cause of this diminution. Some per sons believe that the pressure of the at mosphere produces this shrinking. In favor of tlie medical theory there is the other unquestionable fact that the de crease of stature is greater in those who carry .11 heavy pack during the climb. When the Alpinist has descended to the ordinary level, ids height begins to increase, but the normal length of the hotly is not attained until several hours after reaching the regular surface of the earth. Klnar of Virginia. Apropos of the British royal titles a reference to colonial possessions ap peared In an English sovereign's des ignation so long ago as the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The poet Spenser dedicated his "Faerie Queen" to Eliza beth, and theu lie described her as "queen of England, France and Ireland and sovereign of the Dominion of Vir ginia." It may also be remembered that the Virginians refused to acknowl edge Oliver Cromwell's protectorate un til he scut a fleet to compel them to do so. Charles 11., in return expression of the colonists' loyalty, had himself proclaimed In Virginia on his restora tion as "king of Great Britain, Ireland and Virginia." The further statement has been made that Charles caused the urms of Virginia to be quartered with those of England, Ireland and Scot land.

In the exception to the old snilormnn's rule that "nothing hut blue eyes over makes a sailor." Captain Bnrr, who is dark unto swarthiuess, has a pair of keen black eyes that have landed the Co lumbia to windward of her rivals about every time she tried to get that ad vantageous position. Recently, when asked how he managed to land his boat to windward with such surprising reg ularity, Captain Bnrr said: "That's an easy trick. My jockeying begins long before the other boat is in sight. I get out first. I know from where the other fellow is going to come, and I know approximately the starting line. What more does any man i want? I get to windward of where my opponent must appear, and after that, 110 matter to where I sail, that last dive for the line is in my tnind. and I simply keep to windward. And any man that cannot keep to the windward with the Columbia needs to learn his business all over again."—New York Times. inc.unity Anionic Women. Professor I minor of Berlin, a leading specialist in mental diseases, has been investigating the causes of insanity among women ami has come to the conclusion that If women are admitted into competition with men the inevita ble result will be a tremendous in crease of insanity among women. lie finds that the percentage of women teachers who become insane is almost double that of men teachers. Inquir ies were also made about women em ployed as telegraphers, sales clerks and in the telephone service and, further more. with regard to women engaged in the Swiss watchmaking trade. These inquiries showed that in the occupa tions mentioned a far larger propor tion of women than men succumb to mcutal disorder. Ton and Coffee. England and Russia are the two chief tea drinking countries of Europe, and the partiality of the Russians for tea is shown by the fact that, while the consumption of coffee In that empire is less than it was four years ago. the consumption of ten has tripled during that period, Germany and France are the chief coffee drinking countries of Europe, and in the Baited States, in which usually ten has been a more popular beverage in the country and coffee in the urban districts, the in creasing popularity of the latter has been affecting adversely the importa tion of ten into the United States. Tea drinking in the United States Is certainly not 011 the increase, and cof fee drinking certainly Is. Vegetable nutter. Is the cow to he altogether eliminat ed from the dairy? The British consul general at Marseilles hears that "a new fatty substance for consumption in the United Kingdom, to take the place of butter, is being put 011 the British market. It is called vegetaline i and is nothing else than the oil extract ed from copraU (dried coconnut), re fined and with nil smell and taste neutralized by a patented process.
