A Good Beginning.
The success of the first commence
ment exercises of Freeland High School,
held on Friday evening, should be grati
fying to every friend of higher and
broader education in our borough. The
class of 1902 has established a standard
which the classes of future years must
work hard to maintain, and this was ac
complished with an unexpected curtail
ment of the school term. •
Notwithstanding this disadvantage,
the local high school has done well, and
in the success of the class and its com
mencement exercises every taxpayer
can take pride that we have in our
midst an institution that can show such
excellent results.
The only feature to be regretted this
year is the smallness of the class, which
• numbers six. This, however, is no
fault of the school or its teachers.
Many of the pupils who passed success
fully through the first and second years'
courses failed to grasp the value of the
third year's teaching and dropped from
the rolls.
Time, howovor, and the prevailing
sentiment for higher education, oven
among the rising generation, will rem
edy this defect, and, with the success of
the 1902 class to guide them, future
commencement exercises of Freeland
High School are confidently expected to
give still better results and greater
satisfaction to its friends.
John Mitchell's Advice.
The United Mine Workers of Ameri
ca, an organization to which the great
mass of toilers in the anthracite region
have bound themselves, has entered
upon a struggle for better conditions
with advice, warning and caution from
John Mitchell which should not be for
gotten until peaco again hovers over
tho affected thousands.
Among other things John Mitchell
has said to tho anthracite mine work
ers: "Remain at your homo, abstain
from frequenting saloons and other
undesirable places, and under all cir
cumstances observe the laws."
In those few words John Mitchell
proves again that lie is a wise and safe
leader and worthy of the confidence the
groat organization has reposed in him.
For their own sake and to the credit
of their union, let the men and boys
who are 011 strike keep John Mitchell's
words In mind during this unfortunato
war between capital and labor. They
cannot afford to do otherwise, regard
loss of what others may do.
The Statement Criticised.
In Friday's issue of the Press there
appears a remarkable criticism of the
financial statement of tho borough, as
publlsbod In recent Issues of tho Tri
bune and Progress. The writer, who
signs neither his name nor a non-de
plutno, waxes wrothy and becomes pa
thetic, iu turn, at the figures which
Auditors Krone, lioyle and Evans have
prepared for tho taxpayers' perusal.
Ho sums up tho report as a "falsely
pulTed-up statement," and this in the
face of the fact that tho borough's ac
countants have sworn to its correctness.
If one-half of the alleged "rottenness
In our municipal government" exists,
and Is known', the possessor of such In
'• formation owes it to tho borough to
step out In tho open in a manly way
and present his proof that the financial
statement is other than the auditors'
ullidavits make it appear.
WHAT THEY SAY
Extracts From Various Sources, Indi
cating Democratic Opinion On
Questions of the Day.
"Kill and burn, and spare nothing
over ten years of age!" Nothing in
Weyler's record justifies the presump
tion that he would be guilty of such
turpitude.—Troy Press.
Hanna is a friend of labor —Chinese
cheap labor. We always thought he
was, notwithstanding some of his re
cent demagogic vaporings. A few
days ago when his pet ship subsidy
bill was under consideration he showed
his loVe for American laborers by vot
ing against the Patterson amendment,
which provided that no bounty could
be paid to vessels carrying Chinese
crows. Mr. Hanna still knows his
business, but there is a great big gob
of American workmen who don't know
theirs. —Celina (O.) Democrat.
The poor man is called a Socialist
if he believes that the wealth ol' the
rich should be divided among the
poor, hut the rich man is called a
financier if he devises a plan by which
the pittance of the poor can be con
verted to his use. The poor man who
takes property by force is called a
thief, but the creditor who can by
legislation make a debtor pay a dollar
twice as large as he borrowed, is laud
ed. The man who wants the people to
destroy the government is an Anar
cliist, but the man who wants govern
ment to destroy the people is a patriot.
—William J. Bryan. •
"It has been, indeed, a trying hour
for the republic; but I 3ee in the future
a crisis approaching that unnerves me
and causes me to tremble for the safe
ty of my country. As a result of war,
corporations have been enthroned and
an era of corruption in high places
will follow, and the money power of
the country will attempt to prolong its
reign by working oir the prejudice of
the people until ail wealth is aggre
gated in a few hands, and the republic
destroyed. I feel at this moment more
anxious for the safety of my country
than ever before; even in the midst
of war. God grant that my suspicions
may be groundless."—Abraham Din
coin.
The Philadelphia Inquirer furnishes
very amusing reading these days. It
has always contended that Quay was
not a boss; it has always resented arty
charge that there was machine rule in
this state, and it has always given its
undivided support to whatever Quay
demanded. Now, since Quay has been
compelled to throw Elkin overboard
on account of the had repute he has
fallen into for obeying Quay's behests,
the Inquirer just as vehemently insists
that Elkin shall not retire at the "dic
tation of Quay." Notwithstanding its
former claims that there was no such
thing as boss in the Republican party,
it completely flops around by insinuat
ing ingratitude on the part of Quay,
and resents the effort of the "mailed
hand clutching the convention and
squeezing the liberty of action out of
5t," and other like expressions.—Lock
Haven Democrat.
President Roosevelt's boasted hack
bone seems to have deserted him and
he has yielded to the demand of the
pension attorneys and leaders of the
Grand Army of the Republic. He has
disgraced his administration by per
mitting these pension sharks to drive
Hon. H. Clay Evans out of office.
Evans stood for decency and economy
in the pension office, and while he de
nied no man a pension that could
claim it rightfully or legally, ho did
deny pensions to those not entitled to
them, and in this way incurred the dis
pleasure of the pension sharks. They
have succeeded in making things so
unpleasant that he has resigned. No
matter what honors may be conferred
on Mr. Evans by President Roosevelt
he cannot escape the shame and hu
miliation of yielding to a greedy gang
of pension looters. —Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal (Dem.).
Senator Quay's friends and organs
are now taking care to declare, at his
instance, that no one who was re
sponsible for the legislature of 1901
should be considered in connection
with a place on the Republican state
ticket, and that Attorney General El
kin's connection with the legislature
as a sponsor and adviser is a fatal
weakness. We do not dispute the cor
rectness of this. The legislature of
1901 has gone into history as the worst
in the annals of Pennsylvania, or of
any other state, for that matter. But
what degraded it? Was it the power
and ascendancy of the senior senator—
was it not Quayism? Elkin, of
course, failed in his duty, but he did
so in his devotion to Quay. He had
charge of the senator's campaign for
re-election. It is a cool proceeding for
Quay to unload his sins on the devoted
head of Elkin, and that is precisely
what he is doing.—Pittsburg Post.
But the last defense, and the worst
of ail is this —that it is inevitable that
you cannot conquer those people any
other way, and that if the work is to
be done, there is only one thing to do,
and that is what has been done, and
I could road it to you, namely: Enter
a village, surround it, take every house
there und set it on lire; let the wretch
ed people escape with what they have
upon their backs. Are there women
in childbed? Send some soldiers in—
and it has been done —to take them
by the heels and drag them out and
leave them in the fields, while we sing,
"Nearer, My God, to Thee." It is to
close with these wretched creatures
and induce them to raise a Hag of
truce, and as they draw near, to shoot
them. It has been done. It is to Hond
out scouting parties and simply slaugh
ter everything above 10 years old. It
reminds ns a little of the story wo
heard in the early chapters of St. Mat
thew, only Herod took them a little
younger; hut General Smith thinks 10
years old and upward will do. —Rev.
Dr. Parks; Boston.

Kidney Disease Kills.
Its Victims Numbered by the
Hundreds of Thousands.
Kidney diseases should bo attended to
at once, for almost 00 per cent of our
unexpected deaths of today are from
that cause. Dr. David Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy is the only sure cure
known for diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep
sia and chronic constipation, it is
marvelous how it stops that pain in the
back, relieves the necessity of urinating
so often at night, drives away that
scalding pain in passing water, corrects
the bad effects of whiskey and boor and
shows its beneficial effects on the sys
tem in an incredibly short time.
George L. Smith, foreman of the llol
loy Manufacturing Company's Works.
Lockport, N. Y., says in a recent let
ter:
"I iiavo used Dr. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy with tho
most beneficial results, i was trou
bled with gravel and kidney com
plaint very severely, it brothered
me a great deal, and have found
great relief from its use, and clici-r
--ftally recommend it."
It is for sale by all druggists, at 81.00 a
bottle, or 0 bottles for 85.00 —less than
one cent a dose.

The Sybarites slept on beds stuffed
witli rose leaves; the tyrant Dion.vsius
had ids couch filled with them; Verus
would travel with a garland on his
head and around ids neck, and over his
litter he had a thin net, with rose
leaves intertwined; Antiocbus luxuri
ated upon a bed of blooms even in win
ter days and nights, and when Cleo
patra entertained Antony she had roses
covering the tluor to the depth, it is
said, of an ell.
We are told that lleliogabalus sup
plied so many at one of his banquets
that several of his guests were suffo
cated in the endeavor to extricate them
selves from the abundance—victims of
a surfeit of sweet odors.
