(Special Correspondence to the Press.) Latton, Oct. 21. An able political leader once remarked to me when I was far from home, "Sandystonf yes I have heard of Sandyston; away up In the mountains of Sussex Is It not? yos, yos, I have hoard of it. I have been told it can got up a bigger fight, In the least tlrae.and spend the most money at It of any town ship In New Jersey. Yes it beats them all." But Sandyston Is as quiet as an oyster these days, and unless Klntner throws his coat, It docs not appear now as If anything short of Gabriel's Trumpet could even get an echo In this dull old town. The memory of those lively days come back to us though, as fragrant as the odor of new mown hay, and will they ever come again? Perhaps, somowhore in the sweet bye and bye. On Monday morning Bert Westbrook, and Goo. MlUspaugh, practical painters and decorators from Port Jervis, commenced to give the finishing touches to the Interior Of the Reformod church at Bovans. When they are through this will be the up to datost church in the valley, with the ex ception of a cupola and bell. Richard Layton is so happy since last Thursday, that I am told he winks both eyes now, he ought to anyway, for its a bouncing baby girl and come to stay. The epidemic of throat troubles has con tinued to this writing, and many suffer sovorely from it. Its ill effects in most cases oontlnue a long time. The idea of simplifying correspondence by the omission of, Mr. Esq., Hon., In ad dresses, as well as, Dear Sir, Yours Truly in letters is making some progress. The more one thinks of it the more they will find to commend In it t The address of a letter or parcel Is but a direction to aid In postal delivery, and anything more than the name and destination is superfluous. The Dear Sir, and Yours Truly are abbre viations of the old time long and cum brous forms then considered correct, but which now appear perfectly ridiculous Time and space are of value In this rapid age, and while the tornis mentioned do not in themselves convoy any sense of oourtesy their omission would soon make them seem as they are only an incumbrance and their disuse no discourtesy. A few a very few of our young men seem to be spoiling for a fight. I came near writing it young gontleinen,but concluded that would bo stretching oourtesy to a point that would be painful. Perhups it would be for their eternal welfare if they Hhould run up against some obstruction that would bring them to their senses should they have any. Something like tht manager of the merry-go-round did up in Montague, you know. All joke aside though this continual yawping and talk ing fight gives one a tired feeling. Is it gentlemen who engage in this business anyway t Boys take my advloe and play gentleman awhile liutuad of pluying ruf- flan. It will strike the audience more pleasantly. Sure. Yournew department, "Letters from the people," can not but be Interesting to your readers, and should be beucaclul to the paper ithelf. Last week "Fair Play" made it plain that he has some very per tinent fiujuat hie lliigi-r tips, as well at some eolubliijhod principles upon which to Lttae his arguments. If the jople fuel greatly Indebted to some particular per son, then It Is all right to repay by giving publlo office especially when it Is prlied as compensation. But I do not like to see the recipient of such favor demand a continu ance of it Indefinitely. That constitutes a Jhronlo office seeker. In the Ideal republic It certainly Is au Ideal practice for the office to seek the man, nor should the man make himself offensively conspicuous at that. "Fair Play" evidently believes J. M. Bensley has offended in this respect, at least. We notice In Montague Items last week that "Dick" says the PIKE County Press Improves with age. Indeed It is quite a lusty Infant. Remember this Is only volumn 1, and No. 63. But It has a live editor you know, and everybody wants to read It. That sMmulnh both editor and correspondents,and they are all determined it shall continue to improve, so just toll your friends to come ofT those old fogy papers, subscrllw at onco, and get their share of the good things that are coming in the Press. News every week, and no mistake. Get Into the procession The gentleman who took the honeyf yes I heard about him. Thought he got It cheap did hef Well, perhaps it went cheap but it will come back dear enough. Sure. LEDOEDALE. (Special Correspondence to the Press. LEDOEDALE, Oct. 19.

Four young ladles attended the tables In the dining room, so heavily ladon with dainty and delicate rcfrcshmcnes, over which the friends tarried long after which they gave themselves up to the elegant music for which Knoxvllle people are so well noted. Everywhere could be seen decorations In Autumn leaves and foliage which were artistic In design and beautiful In every particular. From the center of the ocillng In the dining room were suspended yellow ribbons which were attached to two op posite corners of each table and these, to gether with the decorations of ths side board, a perfect bank of foliage and flowers, made the room very beautiful and a most cheerful sight. This was the largest event in the fashionable world given this season, About one hundred guests were present. McKinley. (FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) (Special Correspondence to the Press.)

The ground Is wet and the weather coul enough. The Republican meeting adrerttned to be held In School House Ko. 1 did not come off owing to the opixtsitlun of the majority of the Board of Education lu re fusing to allow school building to be used for political purposes. And the people agree with the board. Sam Smith has the largest buckwheat crop In Montngue. Chas. E. North is the first to finish husk ing corn. Aleck Brink, of Mntamoras, drove his trotter down hero yesterday. Juilson Kerr Is spending Snndny at Bol ton Basin. I know of a young man who being disap pointed In love changed his name.

In a brief review of the Industrial development which has taken place since 1860, the reader must be lm pressed with the results which have followod the commercial policy which we have pursued. So rapid has boon the growth, so great the in crease,so wonderful the clianges, so immense and marvolous the grand result, that it is no longer appro printe to compare the United States with any other nation or country Only a comparison with all the rest of the world combined will give a true and proper estimate of our country's position and worth. The population of the earth is es timated by the most reputable stat- icians at 1,500,000,000. The popula tion of the United States is now about 70,000,000.1 It will be. seen, there fore, that we have considerable less than one twentieth of the inhabit ants of the globe. According to a careful estimate made by Speaker Roed, we are equal as consumers as a market for our own and the world production compared with the rest of the world, to 700,000,000 people. According to Mulhall's Dic tionary of Statistics, we manufac ture one-third of the world's pro duct, that is, one-half as much as all the world outside of ourselves, We use all our manufactures or thuir equivalents at home. We con sume one-fourth of all the sugar produced in the world, one-third of all the iron and stool, one-third of all the coffee.one-quartor of all the cotton, one-third of all the wool, nearly one-half of all the coal, one- half of all the tin plate, one-third of all the meat, and one-third of all the grain. We raise twice as much cotton and ten times as much corn as the remainder of the world put together. We produce one-third of the world's production of .gold and silver. We have one-third of the world's steam power. We have one- half of the railroads on the face of the earth. We grant twice as many patents annually as all the rest ol the world. One-tbird the wealth accummulated by the whole world is acquired by the United States While the debt of the rest of the world increased during the decade frsm 1880 to 1890 over $1,000,000, 000, the debt of the United States during the same periond decreased by exactly that amount. The per capita debt of the rest of the world in 1890 was $32.28, ours only $14.24, less than one-half. And best of all there are more farms and homes owned by the workingmen of the United States to-day than are owned by all the laborers of the rest of the world combined. Death Takes a Family. In less than four weeks death has taken a whole family at May's Land ing, N. J., in a very mysterious way Four weeks ago a baby son of Harry Ingersoll died, and within a week Mr. Ingersoll himself, who had been in the best of health, was buried Yesterday his young widow, who had moved to Williams town after her husband's death, died, and her body was brought here for burial She was a robust young woman and the picture or health.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE I'nder this hend we will lnecrt rommuni- calious on current and nelith-nl tonics. without being responsible fnr the senti ments expressed, and invite such disehs- tlon as limy be proper end of general lu serest to the people. KbIToit Pukss. Ghff.ntown, Oct. Si, lsl. Mn. Editor. Allow me a little space In your correspondent's coin ihn that I limy give some of the views of the people in this section In the Commissioner's mntter. We have a man here who has been plwed In nomination for that'oflice under the title " People's Party." He Is a Republican and always has been. George H. Bortree was born here ond for fifty years the cltl- sens of this section have known him as an upright, honest business man alMive all re proach. He Is a man unacquainted with the tricks and trades which often result In nominations, ond he would not stoop to chicanery to accomplish any such pur pose. The nomination by the Republicans of Mr. Bensloy was planned by some -of the would-be-leaders a year in advance and they were aided by local candidates In several townships, who while ostensibly aspirants were really in Bcnsley's inter est. Tho delegates were elected at such times and places ns best suited the pur pose and convenience of tho man to lie nominated, and I am Informed tlmt he, In several instotioos, had charge of the not Ices to be posted Instead of having them sent to the township committees: Why was not the time for holding the several town ship cauouses fixed on the same day and notice duly given through the Phkss so that oil Republicans might know it r What la our paper for If not to convey such party Information to the voters f And, Mr. Editor were you nuked to do it f Certainly the widest publicity should have been given to the meetings, and this could not be done by a few notices posted up in obscure plows in the townships. I do not believe that these underhand methods are pursued by either party In any other county In the State.and no party can hope to succeed long which practices them. I have long known Mr. Bortree ond can assure the people that if they elect him he will inaugurate such reforms in tho oflice as may be proper and right and in the matter of compensation to thoso olnelnls whose salaries he would nid In fixing, he would deal justly and In tho Interest of the taxpayers. Nor do I think ho could ever be persuaded to sell a horse to o bridge agent for a fancy price as I am told has been done heretofore. Wo will roll up such a vote for Bortree In this township as never was known befoJe. Wo are no longer willing to be bound by strict party tics, and totally disregard the qunliilca tloiiB and character of tho men seeking of fice. A Faih Play Democrat. Dinomaxs Ferry, Oct. 21, 18!in. To THE Prkss. Wo had on avalanche of candidate's this week. Farmers In this section will bo busy culling spokes from the wheel of office seekers on election day. Party lines have vanlshod on that score Kvcry body seems to lie happy hero In this part of the "one green spot." Tho Repu bllcans, because their prospects ore bright" and the Democrats, because it is funny, but it is a deal tlmt way for if they get beat they will bo better off. E. p. u. ITEMS OF INTEREST. It is well known among oculist exports that the opera glasses which may be hirod In most theatres fre quently bocomo the medium for spreading very serious eye diseases. A new method of stopping hic coughs is said to have been disoov-' ered in a French hospital. It con sists in thrusting the tongue out of the mouth and hold it thns for a short time. Many undertakers are now using cheap coffins pressed out of paper pulp. Whon polished and stained such coffins look almost as well as those of wood. They last longer in the ground than coffins of wood or metal, and they can be hermetically scaled hotter than heavy metal ones. The Chinese send three invitations to the guests tliat they desire to see at their great feast. The first is des patched two days before the feast, the second on the day itself, in order to remind those they have invited of their engagement, and the third Just befors the hour has arrived, so as to show how impatient they are to see their friends arrive. It is not generally known that the remains of all the Czars of Russia sinoe Peter the Great lie in a Me morial Chajel built on one of the is lands of the Neva. All the ceno taphs are exactly alike, being a block of white marble without any decoration whatever. The only dis tinction by which each one is marked is the name of the deceased Em peror. A strange custom is still observed in Ronniania which reminds one strongly of Robinson Crusoe. When a servant has displeased his or her master the offender takes his boots in his hands and places them liofore the bedroom door of his master.. It is a sign of great submission, and the boots are either kicked away as an intimation that the fault will not be forgiven, or else the servant is told to place them on his feet, which shows that ho is forgiven.
