obituary.
Hanna, the beloved wife of John Lewis
Creter, died suddenly at her home on
Main street, Matamoras, Friday morning,
at 8.80 o'clock, of heart failure, aged 1)7
years. Mrs. Creter had been sick with
typhoid fever, from which she recovered.
Her husband is a machinist in the Erie
car shop in Port Jervls, and works nights
there. When he left home Thursday even
ing for his accustomed duties his wife was
fooling well, but about 8 o'clock In the
morning he was called hastily home and
found hci suffering with a sever pain in
the region of the heart, and at 6.30 the
same morning she died.
Mrs. Cretor's maiden name was Prott,
and she was born in Elizabeth, N. J. She
was a daughter of Frederick Prott of that
city, and was united In marriage to Mr.
Creter while residing there. They came to
this place about eight years ago, Mr.
Creter having obtained employment in
the Erie shops.
Mrs. Cretor was a very domestic woman,
and the excellent training which her chil
dren hava received speaks in language
stronger than words of the mother's de
votion to her family. She was a kind
friend and neighbor, and was greatly es
teemed In the community in which she
lived.
There were born to Mr. and Mrs. Creter
13 rhlldren, of whom eight survive four
boys and four girls. The youngest of whom
Is three years old. They are Lewis, Harry
Freddie, George, and daughters Christine,
Doretta, Lizzie and Mary, all of whom re
side at homo. Besides these and the hus
band, Mrs. Croter is survived by her father
and mother, three sisters and two brothers,
all of Elizabeth, N. J. The brothers are
Frederick and William, and ststers.Louisa,
wife of William Creter, and Mary and
Dora, the two latter residing with their
parents.
Tho funeral service took place at the
Hope Evangelical Church on Sunday af
ternoon at 1.30 o'clock and was conducted
by the Rev. J, A. Wiegond who preached

town early lasfFriday morning was

spot called "Coopors Glen," who
presonted a revolver and demanded
that ho "hold up his hands." Mr.
Barrett acquiesced and they relieved
him of all his money, a considerable
amount, receipts and other papers.
Two shots were fired by tho men
probably to more thoroughly
frighten him. They have not boon
caught.
Miss Gutnaer In Scranton.
Miss Marie Louise Gumaer, whose
fine voice has been heard in Milford
and frequently in Port Jervis, and
who last year sang with the Mozart
Symphony Club, has been dolight
ing an audience in Scranton. The
Tribune says : " Her voice is pow
erful and withal very pleasing on
account of her excellent powers of
modulation. She responded to en
cores each time she appeared."

Northampton Gains a Delegate.
One result of the Tuesday's elec
tion not generally known is that
Northampton county Republicans,
by increasing their vote to over
9,000, are bow entitled to one more
delegate to the State Convention.
Heretofore only four were elected,
but the county is now entitled to
five delegates. The apportionment
is on the basis of one delegate for
every two thousand voters or frac
tion thereof greater than one-half.
Stroudsburg Republicans Rejoice.
The Republicans of Stroudsburg
celebrated the victory in favor of
honest money Tuesday evening.
There was a parade and a jollifica
tion afterward in front of the post
offlce. The affair was non-partisan
and enjoyed by many of the Gold
Democrats. A most laughable in
cident was the speech of a well
known young Democrat, who re
presented Mary Ellon Lease, the
Kansas agitator. Mrs. Lease was a
prominent attraction for the Dem
ocratic leaders of Monroe county
during the late campaign.
Coinage In October.
During the month of October just
past the Government coined $2,350.
000 silver dollars, an amount great
er than it was accustomed to do un
der the Bland bill. In the same
month the mint turned out $5,727.
501 in gold, and $66,500 in'subsidary
sijver coins. This would be a total
of $8,638,409 added to the money of
the country during last month. It
is all good too, no cheap money
about it. Is there any apparent
need in view of this for more
money, is it not more essentially a
matter of Import to get the manu
factories in motion and the wheels
of industry generally, and get what
money the government makes in
active circulation? A dog with his
blood active is better than a dozen
dead lions.

Two boys walking along the street
gazed into a tobacconist's win dow at
some pipes. Said one boy: "Those
are nice pipes lor a cent. If I had
another cent to get some tobacco I'd
buy one." Said the smaller boy :
"J have a cent," so he was persuad
ed to part with it, and the big boy
purcliasod a pipe and tobacco, and
walked along smoking vigorously.
The smaller boy wanted a smoke.but
was refused. Growing indignant,
he suid, " Well, I chipped in on that
pipe and tobacco. Where do I come
in ?" .
" Oh," said the big boy, "you can
be a stockholder, you can spit."
Varnish. .
Hotter to lie Right Than " Regular."
In tho election that is now pnst,
some of our fellow citizens who
voted nRninst thoir own convictions,
excused themselves on the ground
thnt they mut bo loynl to their
party, and stand by it whether it
was right or wrong. This is a con
dition of moral imbecility, from
which men who wish to be good
citizens ought to lie restrained. To
think that it bettor to be ' reg
ular" than to bo right, is to surren
der ono's own independence, and to
bo governed by a mob. In the
choice of candidates and the adop
tion of platforms, every man will
concede a good dcnl to the conven
tions, both as to the nominees and
the measures for which they are to
stand. Up to a certain point a man
can be a partizan, yet not lose his
personality or sacrifice his self-respect.
In points of mere expedi
ency, it is assuming a good deal for
one man to stand out against a hun
dred. It is to hold his judgment to
theirs and claim a consideration to
which no one is entitled. To refuse
to vote for a party's candidate sim
ply because one does not like the
choice, is often a denial of sacred
obligation from selfish pride or silly
pettishness.
But conceding all this, there is a
well defined limit to party loyalty.
No man need be in doubt about it
for a moment. Whenever a major
ity of the convention put up false
principles or base men, the bond of
obligation is dissolved, and evory
man is bound in honor and by right
to repudiate them. The slavery of
compulsion to vote the ticket forced
upon him by a factitious majority,
is too bitter for any voter to bear ;
and it is an usurpation of rights
which must be rebuked and re
pressed by every manly sentiment
in the nation's heart. We may go
further and say that a convention
ceases to be representative when a
majority puts these indignities npon
the minority. The men who faced
the Chicago convention when it
stampeded to Bryan and his danger
ous platform, with a firm protest
against its folly and fanaticism,
though in a hopoless minority, were
really more " regular " than all the
others. The fact is, this jumping
of chance majorities upon the necks
and sensibilities of those whom they
happen to outnumber is itself an
archy. From that moment the
minority is right and regular 1
To surrender one's own convic
tions on a point of honesty, or of
morality, is - a personal degrada
tion, of which we have had a signal
illustratioh in New York city, when
over a hundred and thirty thousand
voters followed the dictation of
Tammany Hall ! Now the starting
point of Tammany Hall is that the
first duty of every member is to
stick to the organization I The first
duty of man that is of a Tammany
man is to be " regular," even if he
cannot be right ; if he has to go
against his own judgment or con
science. A man who stoops to any
baseness, trickery, stealing, squan
dering of money and selling of con
tracts by the " organization," or to
help it at elections, being " reg
ular," is not to be called in question,
simply because the " organization "
must be " regular." Well said one
of the city papers: "A body of
voters that will stand together for
any enormity is an element of dan
ger I"'
Our first duty now is to break up
these unholy associations. We must
show the sin and peril of subservi
ency to party regardless of princi
ple. The whole fabrio of our gov
ernment by franchise falls when
the voter runs blindly with the
crowd, merely registering the man
dates of the men who have got con
trol af the nominating assemblies.
That man is unworthy of citizen
ship whose boast is that he never
bolts a party decree however base or
bad it may be !
Furthor still.it is quite in order to
revise our conduci in other matters
than politics and to review the cur
rent conception of the right of a ma
jority to rule. If, as often happens,
the majority of a convention, court
or party, is clearly in the wrong, we
may have to submit for the time,
but we can never make wrong right.
While in ordinary concerns we sub
mit to the will of the majority, we
can never yield in a matter of con
science, of truth, or justice, of duty
to God or to our country. The
Evangelist.
