The Borough officials realizing at Inst that Centre Square, if properly graded and neatly laid out with walks, would be an ornament to the village, have authorized the work to bo done. Plans wore obtained by Thos. Armstrong from Harry Mesia, a New York engineor, and sub mitted to the Council, which ap proved thorn, and the work has boon done under the supervision of Messrs. Thomas and L. W. Arm strong and E. Warnor, who offered their services cheerfully and gratuit ously. The two cannon and pyra mids of balls secured through the interest of Hon. J. J. Hart will be placed in front of the new Court House, and the two remaining squares will be laid out with grav elled walks and a fountain probably placed in one them. The Liborty pole will be removed from its pres ent location and erected in the cen tre of the square in front of Dau nianns, Shade trees no doubt will be planted at the proper season and in a few years our citizens and guests will realize that we have been deprived of an adornment which had the matter been taken in hand years ago would have proven a great attraction. The officials de serve the thanks of the community for their public spirit. Let Milford got out of her old fogyis ms and try to progress. A village improvement society should now be organized and a few of our active ladies placed in charge, that flowers may be planted and the square kept in a neat and attractive condition. The good work so au spiciously began must go on. WHO ARE THESE REPUBLICANS, In a Washington letter to the Philadelphia Press our member of Congress is reported to Lave "ao knowledged that there were many Democrats in the district who liad come out lionestly and boldly and declared tliat they would not vote for Bryan and free silver. He eluinis, however, that these bolters are more than offiiet by Republicans who have announced their intention to vote for free silver. " If Mr. Hart is correctly reported we beg to ques. tion the correctness of the latter statement. That there are many Democrats here who will not vote free silver is abundantly proven by their declarations, but these men are not "bolters in any sense of that word, and it is a libel on their hon esty and steadfastness to principle to so dosiL'iiate them. The declara tion of the Allentown convention was accepted by the Democracy not only of this district, but of the State, as representing its views on the money question, and can any Demo crat now say that this exposition of its principles and those of the Chica go convention are In harmony and that any man even a straddler can stand on both at the same time? Such a proposition is too absurd for a moments consideration. If the Allentown resolutions were not far cical they at that time truly repre sented the Democratic thought, and Mr. Hart with all good Democrats in the State heartily endorsed them. They were for Bound money. Now Mr. Hart is for free silver. Is he so because his views have changod in the meantime, or is he so from pure policy? And, if the appellation of "bolter" is deserved by any Dem ocrat, to whom can the epithet be applied more fittingly than to, those Pennsylvania Democrats who have "bolted down" the, Chicago doctrine of Democracy? It would be interesting rootling if Mr. Hart would name in his organ any Republicans in this district who have "announced their intention to vote for free silver. " He probably observed the despondency of Sena tor Faulkner and so gladdened the spirits of that gentleman and his as sistants with the above rank hyper bole, as to the Republicans of his district. We ask him to give us their names j no doubt they will be proud of the distinction, and happy to have people know the kind of company they are keeping. WILL MR. HART ANSWER ? Now that Mr. Hart is a full-flodgod candidate for Congress we think in fairness to the voters of this district and the Democracy of the State he should make a clear exposition of his views on the silver question, al so on the income tax matter, and any other point in the platform which may need elucidation, so as to make it perfectly plain to his con- stituents,what mind he has on these subjects, that is his present mind. One can hardly expect in these try ing times that a Democrat of office seeking propensities purely would maintain a mind in statu quo for any considerable period. Such take for a motto, "the times change and we change with them." Should there be a Democratic gold party it would be perfectly lawful for Brother Hart to accept its declarations with all the sincerity and dignity of his nature, and with the versatility for which ho so justly celobrated no doubt he could expatiate as largely on the duty of all good Democrats to abido by the now order, as he dis. played in his reasons for supporting Bryan and Sewall. The Press first plead for his renomination, and it now feels a paternal interest in his political welfare. A FAIR PROPOSITION. This " benighted cornor " as cor respondents and editors throughout the country choerfully call it, may turn over a new leaf this fall. There is a growing sentiment that Pike should got on the band wagon once, and the time is now opportune for this display of political agility. The Democrats have always been pleading for a change when there was a Republican administration. Why not carry the same idea into our local affairs ? Since its erection in 1811 Pike has uniformly been Democratic, and in a spirit of fair ness we may now ask that unselfish and patrotio party to give us' a chance just this once, and see if the Republicans cannot improve on its methods. The agility some of them have displayed in getting down from the Allentown declaration of principles to the Chicago platform proves them to possess political gymnastio abili ties of a high order, it was in fact a double somersault. Without a tithe of the effort these same gentlemen of elastic opinions, we cannot dignify them by the appellation of princi ples, could turn to the support of lo. cal Republican candidates. Sinoe taking the dose prescribed by that aggregation of Populists, Anarchists and Free Silverites they must have a swallow on them which is perfectly immense, and a little thing like a vote for a good, honest, capable Republican for a county of fice ought not to make them wink once. Come gentlemen, be fair. We do not ask you to stultify your selves, you do that without saying so much, " as by your leave, sir." We only desire to impress the fact that you may do a manly and merit' orious thing this fall by voting for an upright neighbor who will give you a good, clear, economical ad ministration of county affairs, MONROE COUNTY FAIR. We have received a list of pre miums to be awarded by the Mon roe County Agricultural Society at their twenty-fourth annual fair which will be held at Stroudsburg beginning Tuesday, Sept. 8. The lit is large and liburul and should a tract a fine display. It is good for farmers to attend these fairs, and study attentively the methods which others take to attain sucews We ought to have one in Pike and if the citizens of Milford would bestir themselves, no doubt a very re spectable effort could be made in the direction of a display of fruits, veg etables, implements and small arti cles. We would not advise any at tempt at a " boss trot," but there are many attractions which could be furnished by the people if this was taken in hand and energetically pushed. Who will come to the front in the matter 1 We are sorry the assistant editor of the Dispatch coming so recently from pedagogy has so little patience with u-t. Somewhere there is a say ing " line upon lino, precept upon precept, hero a little and there a lit tle," but he dismisses our ignorance with a curt " once for all." Per haps the subject in his opinion is incorrigible, or perhaps he thinks his remarks might pass upon the unwary for humor or even wit. Tho campus refrain " ah me, magna monte " is still ringing in his ears, but ns he grows towards "middle age" he will realize the force of Thad Stevens expression that some men are like a bumble bee biggest when first born. Both the Populist and Democratic platforms are outspoken for free coinage, both attack national banks, both demand an income tax and both are against the courts. The only real difference that a careful reader can discover is the language used to convey the ideas. The two conventions might have exchanged platforms, and noither would have gained or lost. Is there a Democratic party to day ? Bryn is accepted by the Popu lists as being the greatest Populist of them all. They reject Sewall be cause he is a Democrat. Now to be a consistent man, a Bryan supporter must claim that Democracy and Populism are identically the same all wool and yard wide goods, and so they are. In 1800 the Democratic party re fused to be absorbed by tho Seces sionists and Slaveholders. In 1872 it would not fuse with Greeley and protection, will it allow itself to ob literated in 1896 by the Silverites and Populists ! Of course, Bryan will accept the Populist nomination for president, he is a candidate to get there, not one of principles, but what will the two tails to tho ticket do. Just how a sound money Demo crat can support Bryan and Sewall and repudiate the platform is like the thimble rigger's little game of now you see it and now you den't. " The New York Times says it is no time for decent Democrats to hesit ate any longer as to their attitude toward the Bryan ticket and what it stands for now. Bryan is in the middle of the road sure enough with a Domocrat on one side and a Populist on the other, as his supporters. The Republicans will await with more amusement than anxioty the next move of the new party of Popo crats. These be troublous times for hon est Democrats with a sound money conscience.

OFF ITS p fro otmiims J if tin VU1 VICTIMS OF CHEAP MONEY. Maeaoiava Description of ThoM Who Suf fered br Clipped Coins In the -Seventeenth Century, Free coinage at 16 to 1 is equivalent to dipping from 45 toSOcenta from the present dollar. It would give ns a de based dollar of varying value. Tha world has had experience with clipped oolm Poorly minted coins during Qneen Elisabeth' time made it eaoy to clip them. Coin clipping was carried on extensively daring the rest of the six teenth and daring ail of the seventeenth century. By 1005, Macanlay tolls Us, "it conld hardly bo said that the conn- try possessed, for practical purposes, any measure of the value of commodi ties." Speaking of the effects upon the peo ple at lnrfte of this debased coin of un certain value, this great historian says that "it may well bo doubted whether all the misery which had been inflicted on the English nation in a quarter of a century by bad kings, bad ministers, bad parliaments and bad judges was equal to the misery caused in a couple of years by bad crowns and bod shil lings. " lie describes the workings and effects in the following language: But when the great instrument of ex change became thoroughly deranged, all trode, all industry, were smitten as with a palsy. The evil was felt daily and hourly in almost every place and by almost every class, in the dairy and on the thrashing floor, by the anvil and by the loom, on the billows of the ocean and in the depths of the mine. Nothing conld be purchased without a dispute. Over every counter there was wrangling from morning to night The workman and his employer had a quarrel as regu larly as the Saturday came round. On a fair day or a market day the clamors, the reproaches, tho taunts, the curses, were incessant, and it was well if no booth was overturned and no head broken. No merchant wonld contract to deliver goods without making some stipulation about the quality of the. coin in which he was to be paid. Even men of business were often bewildered by the confusion into which all pecuniary transactions were thrown.. The simple and the careless were pillaged without mercy by extortioners, whose demands grew even more rapidly than the money shrank. The price of the necessaries of life, of shoes, of ale, of oatmeal, rose fast. Tho laborer found that the bit of metal which, when he received it, was called a shilling wonld hardly, when he wanted to purchase a pot of beer or loaf of ry,e bread, go as far as six pence. Where artisans of more than usual intelligence were collected in great numbers, as in the dockyards at Chatham, they wero able to make their complaints heard and to obtain some redress. But the ignorant and helpless peasant was cruelly ground between one class which would give money only by tale and another which would take it only by weight "Macaalay's His tory of England. " Toed tool! on TJnele Sam's Farm. A Poor Arfnment For Free Silver. Tho free coinage agitators ask the people to vote for the 10 to 1 scheme on the ground that the bankers, manufac turers and merchants are all in favor of a sound currency. ' 'If the banking and business interests are opposed to free silver," say the cheap dollar advocates, "the farmers and workers should sun- port it There must be something good for the poor in this free coinage scheme just becuiise the rich people do not want it" Of all unreasonable and demagogio pleas for 60 cent dollars this is the worst An exactly similar argument would be a demand on the part of the millions who do not own homes or buildings of any kind that all houses should be burned down because it would hurt property owners. There is no doubt but that every man in America who owns a buildiug would say, if asked. that he is opposed to having his proper ty duritroyml But that would be no x son why the people who have no homes should favor arson. The attempt to create prejudice in favor of debt repudiation because Dual neas men and bankers believe in hon esty can never succeed with fair mind' ed, honorable citizens. They will decide the silver q mixtion on IU merits and will not be led astray by appeals to oue class to vote for cheap and trashy money merely bouuufce it is favored by another due. Mi TROLLEY. Why He Leaves His rartr. Mr. Samuel Dickson of Philadelphia, a lifelong Democrat and an influential citizen, has resigned as a presidential elector on the Democratic ticket Among other reasons for his action he gave the following: It is merely paltering with the truth to pretend to acquiesce in the experi ment of trying to make the product of t day's labor in a silver mine worth two or Ave times as much a the product of a day's labor in a gold or an iron mine. At the present time the results of a day's work in one occupation are worth approximately and in the long ran as much as in any other. To affix an artificial value upon silver ore is a dishonest and unjust discrimination against every other form of industry, and when it is done by calling it a legal tender it is done at the expense of, every class in the community except the money lenders and the money changers. With currencies of different value in circulation, the money lenders always thrive at the expense of the people, and the debtor must suffer more than the wage earner. It was a favorite saying of Lord Palmerston that a high rate of interest meant a bad security, and the owner of money must charge for the risk if there is a chance that when he lends a bar of gold he may be forced to take payment in a bar of silver, just as the owner of a horse will hesitate to lend it with a chance of being given in return a sheep or a pig. That is all there is In bimetallism as a practical question as between the lender and the borrower, and, so stated, it ought to be easy to understand why, nntil it is stated, hundreds of millions of capital are lying idle which would be at the servloe of the south and west if they were willing to give back what they got The Free Copper Movement The silver bug should not delude him self with the idea that the only enemy he has to combat is the goldbug. There are others. The copper bug is abroad in the land. His arguments are finding fixed lodgment in the minds of many who have rejected the goldbug and the silver bug. Every asgnment advanced for free sil ver applies with greater force to free copper. The widow a mite was copper, The money of the poor is copper. It has been coined into money by nearly all the nations of the earth for a thousand years. If the government with its stamp can make. 53 cents of silver worth a full dol lar, it can make 8 oents' worth of coppel worth $1. If the 63 cent silver dollar will bring prosperity and give money to all the people, the 8 cent copper dollar will bring those blessings in greater measure. If the debtor can save 47 oents on every dollar under free silver, be can save 97 oents on every dollar by paying with a 8 cent oopper dollar. The copper bug certainly has a better scheme than the silver bug. Iftheargn ments of the silver bug are sound, those of the oopper bug are sounder. But let us suspend judgment, breth ren, until we hear from the man with the leather dollar. Chioago Times- Herald. Aaaerleaa Dollars In If eaten. " A man may get a meal, and when he pate down an American dollar in pay ment will get back asohange a Mexican dollar, which contains six grains more silver than our own. He gets a demon stration of tae fact that it is the credit of oar government which keeps the sll ver dollar afloat at 4T oents more than its intrinsio value, jost as ft keeps its paper notes, which have no intrinsio valne at all, at an equality with a gold dollar.

National Convention. Financial Planks Adopted at Chicago Declare For Un sound Money and a De based Standard of Value. The declaration of financial principles put forward by the Democratic national convention is a shrewd mixture of cheap money delusions, half truths and wholly unfounded assertions. Its alleged state ment of facts has frequently been shown to bo untrue, but in spite of this they were deliberately indorsed by a majority of the representatives of the Democratic party. Since the standard raised at Chicago will be used to rally all the forces of silverism, flatism, cur rency debasement and debt repudiation, it becomes necessary to refute once more the statements on which the American people are asked to support the Demo cratic candidates. This can be briefly and effectively done by a comparison of the assertions of the Chicago platform with the simple facta It.Trt CUIUS. Tbe constitution SOUND MnitET TACTS.

Remove the seeds and lay closely together upon vory thin slices of butterod broad cut in triangular shape. SIMPLE WAY TO KEEP ICE WATER. The following simple method v of keeping ico water in a common pitchor is worth knowing : Put a layer of cotton batting between two sheets of wrapping paper three inches higher than tho pitcher. Faston tho ends of tho paper and batting together, forming a circle. Paste a cover over one end of the batting and paper. This cover, when over a, pitcher, must come close to the skind and so exclude tho air, and ice will keep for a long time. This paper cover will bo found of great service in a sick room for both milk and water pitchers. CURRANT SHRUB. Heat the currants a little and strain out the juice through a mus lin or flannol bag ; to every quart of juice add a pound' of sugar. Boil about fifteen minutes, skimming it well ; bottle tight. A few spoonfuls of this added to a glass of water makes a wholesome and most re freshing drink. CURRANT SHRUB NO. TWO. Boil currant juico and sugar in proportion of one pound of sugar to one pint of juice, five minutes. Stir it constantly whilo cooling . whon cold, bottle it. Use one spoonful or two to a tumbler of water, same as for rapl)crry shrub. - PASTE THAT WILL KEEP A YEAR. Dissolve a teaspoonful of powdered alum in a quart of warm water. When cold, stir in flour enough to give it tho consistency of thick cream, being careful to beat up all the lumps. Add half a dozen cloves and stir in one third of a teaspoon ful of powered resin. Now pour the whole into a teacupful of boiling water, stirring well all the time. Let it remain on the stove a few minutes and it will be of the consis tency of mush. Pourit in to an earth en or china vessol ; set it in a cool place. When needed for use soften a portion with warm water. It will keep a year and is better than gum, as it does not " fcloss" the paper,and can be written upon. AUDITOR'S SOTICE. In the Orphan's Court of Pike County, estate of Conrad (iroh, dee'd.
