CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.
Those nn the Fence Should Commit Them-
selTs, Says a Carbon Editor.
As we are impressed, the oppor
tunity presents itself, especially to
the dominant political party of this
(the Eighth) congressional district,
to take an important ship fowurd
when it cornea to the selection of a
candidate for Congress, says the
Mnuch Chunk News.
Heretofore it was always taken for
granted that evory candidate for
nomination was strictly in accord
with his party on all political issues
But not so this time. Bolting seoms
to lie in order on both sides, by Re
publican silverites, as well as by
gold Democrats. But the people of
both parties have a right to know
every candidates opinion in regard
to the very important issue now pre
sented to the country before they
cast their ballots at the primary
election for congressional conferees.
So far we believe the only Repnb-
ican named or suggested as candi
date is Judge Kirkpatrick,of Easton,
and as far as he is concerned it may
safely be taken for granted that he
is with his party platform on the
side of gold. But there are, we be
lieve, four, perhaps five or even six
candidates for the Democratic nomi
nation, but as far as we know, only
one of them has come out openly
and positively on one side of the
question in favor of the silver
plank in the party platform, we
refer to the present member, Mr.
Hart. Mr. Lauor, of Carbon county
we believe, is on the same side,
whilst Dr. Shull, of Monroe, is said
to be for gold.and.as far as we know
Mr. Barber, of Carbon, may yet be
uncommitted. If Mr. Mutchler, of
Northampton, is going to be a can
didate, we suppose he will also turn
uixin the side of ?
Public opinion should require
every candidate to pledge himself
positively before the public on one
side or the other, according to his
own convictions. Such public pledge
or declaration would be manly and
honorable. Refusal or hesitation
means cowardly straddling and
dodging, and running not as a repre
sentative of principles or ideas, but
for expediency as a party rooster
for ollice and spoil only.

Tensions for Colored Soldiers.
Rev. J. L. 8. Huff, of Strouds
burg, Pa,, Secretary of the Inter-
States Branch of the Afro-Ameri
can Emancipation League and the
director of that order in the Eighth
Congressional District, is in town
looking after the interests of the
neglected widows and orphans of
colored soldiers, who are entitled to
pensions under the laws. It being
the business of the colored organiza
tion to search out and push these
claims of their race in cases where
lawful endowments are due them,
but where payment is delayed for
want of knowlodge as to how to
proceed. It being also a part of the
official duty of Rev. Mr. Huff, as
the representative of the society, to
search out all Buch. He has the
names of seven porsons believed to
be just claimants and will seek the
good o dices of Congressman J. J.
Hart to aid him in prosecuting these
claims. Among those entitled are
Mrs. Sarah Davis of this place, widow
of Azariah Davis, a New Jersey vol
unteer, and Charles Adams, of
Stroudsburg, whose pension ha
been withdrawn. The rest are
Northampton and Carbon parties.

OBITUARY.
RKV, W.M. H. BRLDRN.
Mr. Belden died at Clifton Springs,
N. Y-, Friday, July 31st. He was
pastor of the Presbyterian Church at
Branchville from 1872 to 1877, which
was the beginning of a very success
ful ministry. This relation was
severed at his request, and he went
to Scranton, Pa, as pastor of the
Second Presbyterian Church. This
charge he resigned to go as a mis
sionary to Bulgaria under the Amer
ican board. His health failing he
returned and accepted a call to the
Second Presbyterian Church ot
Bridgeton, N. J., from which pulpit
he resigned to take charge ot the
Congregational Church at Bristol,
Conn. About five years ago he was
stricken with paralysis and has since
been an invalid, until heeding the
master's call he has entered into a
joyous service from which th re
will be no ceasing. He leaves a
widow and several children.

DRAGGED BY HER HORSE.
Miss Campbell's Saddle Slipped and She
Was Saved by -Artist Oliver Kemp.
(From the New York Journal.)
Miss Lydia Campbell, daughter of
Richard Campbell, of New York
city, and a summer resident living
on the Rumson road, was thrown
from a saddle horse and draggod
thirty feet while out riding accom
panied by a groom on Ocean avenue,
near Sea bright, N. J., Sunday after
noon, Aug 2.
Oliver Kemp, a New York artist
summering at Long Branch, went
to the young lady's assistance on a
bicycle, and making a flying leap
caught hold of the bridle and stopjied
the horse. Miss Campbell was un
conscious and badly brusied. The
horse was frightened by a passing
bicycle and plunged. Miss Camp
bell is an accomplished horsewoman,
but the saddle slipjied and before
she could release her foot from the
stirrup she was thrown. The groom
could not overtake the horse.
Miss Campbell was taken home
and is in the care of a physician.
A Reply to Some Strictures
Our friend, C. Lehde, of Chris
tian Hill, takes exception to the
" Three Rs " mentioned in last
week's Press and writes that as a
Republican he would hardly have
expected that of us. He enquires if
we think they will help to stay the
onmarch of conscious indignation of
the many struggling people, and
finds faults with Bourke Cochran,
D. B. Hill & Co. His latest home
made motto, " This world for labor,
the next one for rest. Take this for
your motto it will serve you the
best," he desires to supplant his
previously discovered one of " More
weeding and loss reading."
'The Ihree Political Rs, as ap
plied to the Chicago platform, "Re
pudiation, Robbery and Revolu
tion," sum up the estimate of one
of the ablest Democratio papers in
the country.the Sun,on that wonder
ful concoction of principles promul
gated by Democracy as its new cor
ner stone of faith, and we are not
responsible for the opinion one
member of the family holds of the
others. Bourke Cochran has been
considered as one of the shining
lights of Democracy and D. B. Hill
as one of its ablest exponents and
most successful leaders. They
should know the genuine brand of
that article, and if they denounce
in unmeasured terms as they do, the
spurious and falso doctrines now
labeled as such it does not lie in us
to gainsay mon of their ability and
sagacity. We are willing our friend
shall demonstrate to them the error
of their ways.
Tho Now York Life Insurance

EXPERIENCE OF FARMERS.
The Specialties at Hursb's Pine Hill Farm
In Sussex County, N. J.
(From the New York Farmer.)
As you will note by my letter-head
my specialties are fine butter, eggs
and fruit. We have from the begin
ning of our farming aimed to im
prove in every lino. Although we
have an excellent dairy cellar, wo
have long believed that especially
in the hot months we did not get the
best results obtainable by shallow
pan sotting ot milk.
After long investigation I invested
in a Kneeland's Crystal creamery
with the impression that along with
the most approvod method of cool
ing the milk, I would much benefit
in the saving of labor. It has fully
come up to my expectations in both
respects. My well, having a strong
vein and being very cold, I erected
an all-steel windmill upon it, and
pump the water deep under ground
directly into the creamory, the over-
flow from which runs by gravity to
a stock tank at the barn and thence
to the poultry houses.
We print all our butter in one
pound bricks, with the initials of
the buyer on each one.
We find that the bottom of tho
creamery, which Is a metallic cabi
net, is an admirable x'lace in which
to place the butter and answers tho
purpose of a refrigerator very well.
I am truly delighted with my
creamery. The cans are glass, hold
ing ten gallons each. No rusting of
tin, no leaking, no lifting, quickly
cooled, and absolutely clean. It
does not seem possible that there
could be anything better probably

of the first joint was almost severed,
and the bone cut in two, causing an
injury from which he suffered sev
