FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 17, 1902
The Quay machine is hard pushed
Tor money this year, and the rich Re
publicans are not coming down with
tho cash as usual. One prominent
member of the Philadelphia Union
League, who is earnestly supporting
Governor Pattison and tho whole Dem
ocratic state ticket, sarcastically ob
served that he would act in accord
ance with the suggestion of tho beg
ging circular received and contribute
"according to inclination." His check
will not he made payable to the order
of the boss this time, and he has
plenty of company^
After killing every measure asked
for by the miners in the last 'legisla
ture, Quay and Penrose are pretend
ing sympathy for the distressed strik
ers. This won't deceive the men, and
at the polls in November they will
settle with the boss tools of the coal
monopolists. .
Every day since the Erie convention
the prospect of the election of its
ticket has brightened. In every part
of the state there is a rising tide of
pubtie sentiment in favor of Pattison,
Guthrie. Nolan and reform.
Every Democrat has something to do
this year. Let every part of the or
ganization be strengthened, every
doubtful voter be looked after, every
publit meeting made a brilliant suc
cess.
Spread tlie truth. Each issue of
thits paper, frdta now until election,
should he read by as many fair-minded
RepifMieans as possible. Hand it
around courteously. The revolt against
organized public robbery is growing
stronger every day. Help it along.
The sueeessful fight of 1890 began
in Reading. AH the indications are
that history will repeat itself this
year. The Democratic lines are in
splendid 3ha-pe at the opening of tho
great reform battle of 1902.
Help along the great work of house
cleaning at Harrisburg. Send your
contribution, large or small, to the
Democratic state chairman. Every
dollar received will be wisely and hon
estly expended.
The old Quay parrot will bo put ou
the spit next week and roasted alive.
Violated Factory Law.
Jonathan Davis, tho deputy factory
inspector of this district, has had war
rants sworn out for tho arrest of W. J.
Barry, of Luzerne borough, and A. J
Ellsworth, of Dorrauceton, justices of
tho peaco. Thoy are charged with
violating a section of the factory laws
iu the issuing of permits to children to
work in a manufacturing establishment.
The names of six children appear on
tho warrants who were given permits by
tho defendants to work in the Blue
Ridgo canning factory. Tho penalty
for the offense is SSOO.
Cliarle* Hondo at Work.
A friend once called on Charles
Rondo and found him sitting at his
desk placidly smiling, while with great
precision and deliberation he inscribed
his thoughts on a sheet of foolscap in
a large schoolboy text. He might have
been writing a love letter, lie seemed
so happy. He was In reality scari
fying a "criticaster" iu language that
made his friend's hair stand on end.—

WASHINGTON LETTER
[Special Correspondence.]
Now that tho list of ollicers and men
of tho navy who are to receive the
West Indian campaign medals and
bars has boon completed the naval
board on awards is busy with the
"meritorious service" medals, which
are intended to go to those officers who
rendered particularly telling services
In the West Indian naval campaign.
Four persons have for some time been
decided upon for the meritorious serv
ice medals. These are Captain Rich
mond Pearson Hobson for his well
known feat with the Merrlinnc, Lieu
tenants Ward and Puck for their peril
ous secret mission into Spain, and
Lieutenant Victor Blue for his famous
work in connection with the location
of the Spanish fleet in Santiago har
bor. It is understood that meritorious
service medals also are intended for
the American officers and men who
rendered exceptional service in the res
cue of the drowning officers and men
of the defeated Spanish fleet at San
tiago.
More Liberal to Travelers.
According to a ruling made by Sec
retary Shaw, residents of the United
States returning from abroad may
bring with them as personal baggage
up to the limit of SIOO in value any
article they choose without payment
of duty. This is a more liberal con
struction of tho law than has hereto
fore been made. Mr. Shaw insists only
that the examination of such baggage
at *lllO port of New York and other
places shall be .honest and thorough,
with the least possible annoyance to
the passengers.
The tariff law describes exemption of
SIOO as including "wearing apparel, ar
ticles of personal adornment, toilet ar
ticles and similar personal effects."
Secretary Shaw in his new ruling says
that the SIOO worth need not be strict
ly confined to wearing apparel, articles
of personal adornment, toilet articles
and similar effects, but may include
any article intended for the personal
use of the passenger.
No More "Laborers" as ClerkH.
By the time the politicians return to
Washington for the next meeting of
congress they will find that one of the
last remaining avenues by which clerks
have been slipped into the government
service without regard to the civil
service examination has been block
aded. The heads of the various depart
ments are getting out regulations gov
erning the appointment to positions of
mere unskilled laborers and prohibit
ing such appointees from performing
clerical work.
One of the favorite dodges that have
been worked for years past to avoid
the civil service law has been to get
men appointed as laborers, this posi
tion not being classifled, and then have
them do the work of clerks, steadily
promoting them in salary.
A Monro 11 MM the Job.
One of the most earnestly sought
messenger positions is that of the Brit
ish embassy, and it is now for the first
time in the history of the British lega
tion In America occupied by a negro.
Always In the past the berth has been
given to some retired English soldier
who has during the best part of his
life served the crown on battlefields.
This recommendation has in the past
been deemed necessary on account of
the value of the messages transmitted.
All state papers, secret reports and pri
vate documents are given to the mes
senger. lie is held responsible for the
safe delivery of these messages to an
English vessel either at New York or
some Canadian port.
War Record* to lie PubllNlted.
The war department has arranged
for the publication of tho war records
of the conflict between this country
and Spain. The set of works, which
will be compiled from the documents
in possession of the war department,
will embrace the military operations
in the Philippines since the close of
the war with Spain and in China dur
ing tho relief expedition to Peking.
An officer has been selected for this
work, and orders have been sent to
Manila requiring that all records in
the possession of the authorities there
mil be forwarded to Washington.
The Contract Labor Law.
Instructions for the strict enforce
ment of the alien contract labor law
have been given by Commissioner Gen
eral Sargent to the immigration com
missioners at all the ports of entry
where immigrants land. From this
time on few immigrants who come to
this country under a specified or im
plied contract will remain, as the in
spectors are now keeping a vigilant
outlook for those who violate the law,
and if sufficient evidence can be se
cured they will be sent back.
Knihva)- Cnanaltlc*.
The interstate commerce commission
has issued a bulletin showing colli
sions and derailments of trains and
casualties to persons for the three
months ending March 31, 1902. The
number of persons killed in train acci
dents was 212 and of injured 2,111.
Accidents of other kinds, including
those sustained by employees while at
work and by passengers in getting on
or off cars, bring the total number up
to 783 killed and 9,958 injured.
CARL SCHO FIELD.
A llititoric Church.
The French Protestant church in
Charleston, S. C., is the only Huguenot
church in the United States. It was
founded in 1081 and has preserved its
organization without a break ever
since. It was the first Ilugucnot
church established in America, and it
is singular indeed that it should out
last all those which followed it, but
were gradually merged into other or
ganizations. Its founders were those
| who were driven from France by the
I revocation of the edict of Nantes, and
| their descendants are prominent
among tho leading families of the
I north ami south today.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.
flow It Mliflit Do Mu<lo mi Important
Social Factor.
The American public school Is the
soul center of every community, the
bulwark of the nation. The public
use and the public ownership* of the
public school Is the best example of
pure democracy even In this country.
The public schools were bullded bet
ter than we knew, welded for a larger
purpose than that to which we are
putting them. We are neglecting our op
portunities. The public school should
be a social as well as an educational
center. Schoolhouses and churches, too,
for that matter, should be open at all
times instead of only a few hours a
week for the soola 1 reception of all the
people who desire to take advantage of
such opportunities.
The public school could do no high
er service to the community in which
it is located than by making itself a
social center, a social settlement, such
as we have in the large cities. This is
being done in New York, Chicago and
other cities.
The common people are the only
people in this country. Don't let us
neglect them. It Is the business of
the public school to enlighten the par
ents as well as their children. The
public schools should be made civic
centers, places where the fathers and
mothers may congregate. People are
as good as they know. It is the busi
ness of the common school to teach
them what they should know. I know
no better place to counteract public
abuses than in the public school. It is
not in the interest of our finer element
that I plead. It is for the whole peo
ple. Some of our otherwise compara
tively well informed native born citi
zens have little or no idea of the essen
tial principles of a democratic form of
government.
The making of our public schools a
social center would not increase the
school tax levy. It could be done al
most without expense. The public
school has 011 its hands the possibility
of making an ethical center, regardless
of theological differences. The public
school is the soul of the great religion
of democratic relationship.—Gruhain
Taylor in Michigan Moderator.
Tho \<>ivfonii(]laii(l l)o.
Much as we may regret it, the fact is
that the Newfoundland dog, the em
bodiment of courage, intelligence and
kindness, the highest type of canine
excellence, the animal that formed the
subject of Landseer's famous painting,
"The Child's Best Friend," is today al
most extinct. In the United States the
animals have vanished completely, and
had it not been for Mr. Edwin Nichols
of South Kensington they would have
died out in England as well. Mr. Nich
ols Is now, we believe, the solo breeder
of Newfoundlands in the world. Even
in the land of its origin there are very
few fine specimens of the Newfound
land dog now to be found. The dogs
most common and numoroup in New
foundland are a wretched mongrel
race, cowardly, thievish and given to
sheep killing. Starvation and neglect
have killed out tho old Newfoundland
breed, which thrives better anywhere
except 011 this island, the place of its
origin.—London Times.
Japnn'M Democratic Emperor.
There is no barbaric splendor about
the court of Japan, nor does the em
peror insist 011 fantastic forms of hom
age. lie is just a plain individual. His
guests he receives standing, and lie en
ters freely into conversation with all.
There is scarcely a subject that does
not interest him or one 011 which lie is
not well informed. A delightful host,
it is his custom to surround himself
with clever men, men who are the
shining lights of tlieir professions. En
gineers, artists, musicians, writers,
soldiers, scientists—every class of per
son who has won distinction is wel
come at the royal table, for it is one
of the characteristics of his majesty
that in the distributions of his favors
he is thoroughly impartial.—lndianap

Drytlcn'M New Honsc.
The house of John Dryden 111 Gerard
street, London, has been recently de
molished. A "Jerry built monstrosity"
has been erected in its place, and the
memorial tablet with the inscription,
"John Dryden, ppet, lived here; B.
1031, D. 1700," is now attached to tho
new structure. This is not the only
instance of a house bearing a tablet
stating that a certain great man "lived
here" when he never did live there, as
the fraudulent tablets to llogarth in
Leicester square, to Turner in Queen
Anne street, Marylobone, and to Byron
in Holies street testify.
OH Calendar Coin.
While excavating at some old cot
tages at High Wycombe, Bucks, Eng
land, recently a workman discovered
a calendar coin dated 1797. It Is of
copper and about the size of a four shil
ling piece. On one side are clearly en
graved the dates of the Sundays of the
whole year, with special reference to
Septungesimn, Advent, Lent, Easter,
Holy Thursday, Whitsunday and Trin
ity Sunday. 011 the other side there
the everyday calendar for the year.
The Eir on Earl Hall.
As seen from certain angles the dome
011 Earl hall, the new Columbia uni
versity building, resembles the dome
on the library given by Seth Low to
the university, which Is near by. A
man observing the likeness remarked,
"Why, the librae has dropped an egg,
hasn't it?"— New York Press.
Preteniio.
You hove nil laughed at children for
"pretending" In piny. Grown people
do It In dead earnest and will fight for
months to back up a silly pretense, a
pretense that they know is unreason
able, foolish and unfair. Atchison

"I want to look at some dining room
tables," said the customer.
"Yes, sir," said the clerk. "We have
some very fine ones. Now, here is an
unusually pretty table, very cheap
too."
"Can you play pingpong on It?"
"Well, why, to tell you the truth, sir,
this table Is not suitable for pingpong."
1 "I didn't ask you whether It was suit
able or not. I asked you whether or
| not you could play pingpong on it."
| "Well, 110, sir; you can't."
| "No way to stick in an extra board
j or to put patent fixings to the round
! corners or anything like that?"
"No, sir; it would be impossible to
arrange this particular table so that
the game of pingpong could be played
on it, but"—
"That's all right. I'll take this table.

it."—Baltimore American.
