TIm nliove headlines call attention
to a disp itoli hc.' I by ft Doinocrntie,
roiiorber to the PeiiKKTatic Philadol-
p'lia Times, concerning a Deinoera
tie politician, Deinocrnetic county
comniissioneclinirinan of the D.-tn
o.Tatie county committee in the
Democratic County of Pike. Wo
think no on j can accuse us of off in
ivs partisanship when we charac
terize the. iilxivo at " huh n pure
Democratic. "We sincerely depreoite
the notoriety which has been given
Pike cmnty by the wide publication
of the article in the newspapers
generally, but inu-mi'ieli as it is none
of our funeral, wo will not Im on-3 of
the mo irners. We miy, however,
nit oil tlr.i fence for n in onvmt and
review the chief clrvract r in the
procession.
This Hano Heller is the m m who
went t ) tho p ills in Diugin in town
ship at the November election in
189 1 in tho evening. The ollieers of
the elo -ti in ucordinir to th nr
watehos had declared the pills
closed and had opened tho billot
fojx and liegan the count of tho votes,
when this Heller appeared on tho
ground and demanded that ho with
two or threo others bo allowed to
vote, that according to his time it
was not yet 7 p. m .
Tho majority of tho election
board were bullio.l into allowing
him with the others to vote. Wheth
er the ballot box was closed again or
not or whether they simply dumped
them in wa are n it inf .iriml.
Is any comment necessary as to
the law abiding disposition of this
Heller
When wo were contemplating the
first issue of the Press and desired
to obtain u list of names of taxablos
in the county in order to send out
sample copies, we procured the con
sent of the two county commission
ers who happened to be present in
the office, to use the registry of
voters to copy therefrom the names.
The accommodating clerk to the
commissioners gave us the lists
from two or three townships which
we took and coined, and when we
went in the office two or three days
later to return them and obtain
others, this Commissioner Heller
happened to be present, and with
a pompous air and a manner af
ter the toad in the fable, " Am
I as big now as the ox," stated that
he "had consulted our counsel and
was advised that the registry lists
could not bo taken from the office."
Did he exercise the same solictit
ous care and regard for the property
of the county and consult his coun
. sel before "several maps in tho
commissioner's ollice and also tho
walls and tables were torn and mu
tilated V " Heller threw chairs
and spittoons and hurled an iron ket
tle" Wequot i from the aforesaid
dispat'.'h.
Lost year after the death of the
janitor of the Court House when
another was to be employed this
Heller distinctly stuted "that no Re
publicans need apply."
Does the above throw any light
on the anxious and reieatd query
of " I. Kickles," in last week's Dis
patch " Considering what ?
It is rumored thnt this name
James H. Heller aspires to adorn
one end of tho judicial bench next
fall. We do not vouch for the
truth of the rumor, but, if it is trno
we earnestly commend him to his
party, and, if it vindicates him by
an election respectfully suggest that
the difiixry of the statue of justice,
her scales, tho Democratic party in
Pike county and things generally
bo insured to their full vnlno in
some Democratic Insurance com
pany, if imp can lie found, and in
duced to take, such hazardous risks.
By tho way our M. C. represents
several large life and accident com
panies. Perhap he could place it.
.TUDUE DUNHAM RETAINS THE
SEAT.
Judge Archlmld, of rSeranton, and
Judge Bearle, of Husquelianna, re
cently docidid th.i Dunliaiii-Kittsor
contest for judge in the forty-fourth
judicial district comprising the
counties of Wyoming nnd Sullivan,
giving Dunham, Republican, the
seat. Ho was elected by the face of
the returns, but the decision in
creases his plurality fro 29 to 10H.
There are some jxiints in the de
cision of interest to election lionrds
The contest was probably insti
tuted on tho report that alxmt sixty
ballots marked in the bead of tho
Republican column, and then
markiHl specially opposite Judge
Nittwr's name had lieon thrown
out. The re-count of the ballots
showed this not to lo true. A few
so marked were found and were
counted.
Tho court made one rule which
was strictly adhered to.
In every instanoo in which the
voter had made his intent plain up
on the ballot it was counted. The
court, however, drew the lino on
dot marks found in ivirty coluhms,
and rejected such ballots.
Straight horizontal lines, and
straight ierpendicular lines in the
party eircles wore counted, as wore
circles within the circles. Six hun
dred votes in all were thrown out as
illegal, 250 of which were cast for
Dunham and 350 for Sittser.
Tho constitution says that when a
lerson receives anything for his
vote, or for withholding it, ho shall
not lie entitled to vote at tho elec
tion, or if a. person offers anything
to n voter the man making the offer
shall not be entitled to vote. One
hundred and eighty-five votes were
thrown out, which were cast by
men who were either paid for the
day they lost to vote or else offers
to pay for tho day lost. It is impro
Ixiblo that the case will be appealed.
PRICES OP WOOL AND CLOTH
ING. The Textile Manufacturers' Journal
says free wool has existed for four
teen months, and sufficient time has
claimed to fully test its value and its
relation to . the price of clothing.
What is the result? The cry of free
wool and cheaper clothing has
proven an " ignis fatuus," and the
workman who was to buy his cloth
ing at half the old prices has found
to his sorrow that the false light
lured him on under false promises ;
he lias in fact found much lower
wages and the exist of clothing but
slightly reduced. A careful canvass
among lending retail clothiers
showed that clothing was not ten
per cent, lower than under a pro
tective tariff. This slight reduction
follows a severe business depression,
the resultant competition necessarily
forcing prices down, so that it is not
unfuir to assume that the reduction
of ten per cent, is due as much, if
not more, to this depression than to
free wool. No wonder when it is
considered what a small item wool
is in the total cost of a suit of clothes.
The froe traders said, "We will ban
ish shoddy and give the workman
nn all-wool suitata low-price." What
is the fact. A much larger use of
shoddy then ever, greater deception
in clothing, and less value for the
money.

DEMOCRATS NO LONGER.
There Are Few Supporters of Free Trade
In Louisiana.
The recent action of Mr. Comptroller
Bowler of the present national free
trade administration in absolutely re
fusing to pay the sngnr bounty as the
law distinctly directs 1ms greatly em - -
bitterer! a large number or sngiir grow
ers: and all (hose allied with them in a
business nnd industrial manner, both in
and ont of Louisiana. To show the per
sonal nnd political views, ns entertained
by a former Democrat, who ha. for SO
years resided in Louisiana, we quote as
follows :
"This destroying nnd devastating ad
ministration has robbed me of $10,000,
leaving me nearly helpless. Whether or
Hot I shall ever get it I now seoremnins
with a long patient, forgiving and oft
insulted Republican party. We sugar
growers and cotton raisers, who have
always utrongly upheld tho Democratic
party and its principles because we
thought that they were right, now more
plainly than ever see tho great mistake
we have niaclo. I am only one of hun
dreds shamefully treated by n political
pnrty which wo always upheld by voice,
vote and means. The revulsion of poli
tical feeling ngainst tho f reo trade party
throughout tho south has but just bo
gno. By November, 1KSHI, the crop will
be harvested and no free trado assistance
asked. When tho party of protection
again gets into power, tho law will be
fully obeyed, nnd sngar growers will bo
paid that which tho law allows them.
We gladly hail that dny, irrespective of
former politics. "
The foregoing is only a sample of tho
information from tho south in regard to
the feeling ns it exists today among
the former stnuch supporters of the free
trade Democratic party.
Haa the Ilooni Burnt?
What is the matter with the boom?
We quote fiom Dun's, ns follows:
"Coke was suddenly raised to $1.40,
bnt has recently sold at $1.10. Wheat
jumped over 20 cents, to H-l, but is now
slow of sale nt about 05. Wool was late
in rising, but 1ms lost about an eight li
of a cent in average prico within tho
past fortnight." Dims this mean a
check to the froo trado prosperity that
we have been reading nbout? I' armors
and miners nro interested. Again jve
quote :
"In the boot nnd Bhoe industry many
shops are discharging bands, and in
woolen manufacture a few works are
closing for wnnt of orders. Shipments
of boots and shoes now fall below last
year s or those of ltivi, nnd except in
split shoes there are but few orders.
Wage earners are interested in this
story and are awaiting explanations.
Stand np, free trude editors. Who will

The home market for American farm
ers exists wherever there is a factory or
an employment which depends in any
way upon manufacturing. The marvel
of American industry baa been the di
versification of industry generally dur
ing the lust third of a century, particu
larly toward and in the west Take, for
example, the prodigious manufacturing
industries of Illinois, not to speak of
Indiana and Ohio. Manufacturing in
dustry has likewise, although a little
later, been developed in the southern
states.
Even west of the Mississippi river
vast manufacturing interests have been
developed with uuprecedeutod rapidity,
down to the time when the Democratic
party two years ago took hold of the
government under pledge to revolution
ize industry to the basis of "low tariff
or free trado. " Sioux City (la. ) Jour
nal. Lieutenant GoTernor Sexton Senilble.
Lieuteuuut Governor Suxtou made
some good points in reply to uu inquiry
from the New York World. He suid :
" We nil know that owing to the re
sult of lust fall's election there can be
no furdier movement iu the direction
of freu trade for some time to come.
The indications aie that we have passed
the loweU point aud have made a little
upward progress. But such recovery as
we have made has been iu spite of the
Wilson bill and not because of it. The
newspapers report increase of wages iu
tome localities. This does no wtu to
be very ueueral, and where wages have
been advanced they have not yet as a
rule touched the poiut where they stood
at the beuiuuiiig of 1S'J3. The outlook
in some places may be uutuuully prom
ising, but that is not true, to far as I
can judge, in central aud western New
York."
The lieutenant goveruor is quite cor
reot when he says that "such recovery
s we liiive made has been iu spite of
the Wiluon bill aud not because of it"

American sheep am mill going to
market iu vast numbers. August, l&Qi,
was known an virtually a panic mouth,
so (jicut was the rush of sheep into Chi
cago market ; yet the report for Augutt,

over that of the corresponding mouth
the preceding yeur, while an excess of
8,000 for the first week in September
indicates that the haste to sell ia still
an uppermost feuture. Under these con
ditions many western sheep men have
sold out almost every 1, ii or 3 year old
sheep in their flocks, so that now their

We feel sore that our artists and arti
sans must be brought into such close
competition with the wretchedly paid
pottery labor of England and the conti
nent of Europe, but we see still worse
things in the distance. China and Ja
pan, with pottery employees who can
work for from 8 to 14 cents a day and
live on half that amount, are preparing
to furnish America with large lines of
tuple goods and are being stimulated
to do so by American importers, who
have, it is reported on good authority,
sent out full lines of samples of toilet
and table w ares and stand ready to or
ganize lurgo concerns in those countries
and utilize the cheap labor that there
abounds. D. V. Hayskk & Son.

A friend has several oats which have
beuu taught to inuke their hoiiius Id a
barn. One of the workmen In the estab
lishment has been for a number uf yours
In the habit uf bringing food from his
house, after dinner time, for those outs. A
remarkable fact is that thuy go from ttie
burn to the eutrance of the gate property
always ubuut 15 or gu inluuUw before the
workman inukus his uppuurunoe. Just
how they cume to learn the exact time of
day Is nut clear, ulthough It goes to show
that these uuimuls have reason and judg
ment to sumo oxteut. Strange to say, al
though this bus buuu going on fur several
yours, the cuts do nut seem to know that
every seventh day Is Sunday, and thnt the
workman does not make his upiiearnnoe at
the grounds ou that duy, yet regularly ev
ery Sunday, for all these many yours, they
have ooiue to meet hliu, only to be doomed
to (II uppoiuiuumt. It would seem from
this thai uam huvuuot tho power tooouut,
or thuy surely would be able to know by
this time that there is a seventh day wheu
thuy would be doomed to disappointment
in their dully meal. Moehau's Mouthly.
