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.

LAXAKOLA
NO ONE BUT A MOTHER
Mleep flTea to an ailing, leethinif, feverish, colicky, frclf y infant.
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.
Laxakola 1h a pure, gentle ami painless liquid laxative, and contains valuable
tonic properties which not only act upon the bowels, but tone up the entire system and
purify the blood. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, which
will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. Great relief fs ex
perienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhcea, accompanied
with white or green evacuations, as it neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries
out the cause of the fermentation. LAXAKOLA will nid digestion, relieve restlessness,
assist nature, and induce sleep. For eonstii>ation, simple fevers, coated tongue, or any
infantile troubles arising from a disordered condition of the stomach it is Invaluable.
Laxakola. the great tonic laxative. Is not only the most efficient of family remedies, hut the most
economical, because It iblnes two medicines, vlr.: laxative ami tonic, and at one j.ri. r. No other
remedy gives so much for the money. At druggists. 25c. and 5.x.. or send for free sample to Tllli

How Good Maimers Saved lllm.
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.—

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. Certain It is that they appear so
on English coins struck as late us 1770
by order of George lll.—Liverpool

Fitßllnh Fruit Cnlture.
Fruit culture is often conducted on a
large scale In little England as well as
In great America. A manufacturer of

center of the fruit farm.

C'nptnln Charley Dnrr.
Captain Charley Bnrr, the skipper of
1110 champion yacht Columbia. 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. It
becomes like sweet lard and is intend
ed to compete with margarine on the
breakfast table as a substitute for but

will this year help in an effort to popu
i larize the stuff.—London Telegraph.
