It will be my purpose when elect
ed to so conduct myself as to win
the respect and good will of those
who have opposed me as well as
those who have given mo their sup
port. I shall be governor of the
whole people of the state. Abuses
have undoubtedly grown tin in the
Legislature which are neither the
fault of one party nor the other, but
rather the growth of custom. Un
necessary investigations have boon
authorized by committees, resulting
in unnecessary expense to the State.
It will be my care and purpose to
correct those and other evils in so
far as I have the powor. It will be
my purpose while Governor of
Pennsylvania, as it has been my
purpose in the public positions that
I have held, with God's help, to
discharge my whole duty. The
people are greater than the parties
to whioh they belong. I am only
jealous of their favor. I shall only
attempt to win their approval and
my experience has taught me that
that can best be dono by an honest,
modest, duily discharge of public
duty.
EDITORIAL.
SPECIAL PLEADING.
QUR neighbor in last woek's issue
editorially indulges in a little
specious and spociul ploading in re
gard to the Democratic Congression
al Convention held at Muuoh Chunk
and also asks that judgment att to
the acts of that convention in nomi
nating John E. Lauer be suspended
The candidate from this County
knew before leaving Milford that
Northampton had changed the date
of the Convention and that her con
ferees would not be present on
Wednesday, the 21st, and that
therefore a full convention could
not then be hold. Were he and the
Monroe candidate desirous of har
mony when with knowledge of this
fact their conferees convened and
admitted the Lauer people? plead
ing first that the time of the con
ference could not be changed unless
by mutual agreement, and, second,
that as no one contested the Lauer
conferees, therefore they should be
admitted without scrutiny. North
ampton wished to change the time
of meoting ; Pike and Monroe with a
majority of conferees, and being a
majority of the counties whose con
ferees were uncontested, refused to
do so. Why? The two could have
Controlled the convention and com
pulled Northampton to either sub
mit or withdraw. Wore they fear
ful of tho opinion of the Court, and
so refused to wait lest they might
be put in a minority position by its
decision? They argue that Judge
Albright's opinion could not settle
tho qnostion of regularity of the
conferees, because that matter wos
not before him. True, it was not
squarely so, but it might be sup
posed that Democrats who were
desirous of being law-abiding might
nt least a.wait an opinion which
would throw considerable light on
the subjeet of regularity. But had
they done so, would they have
dared to so far set aside the Court's
intimations as to urge the seating of
the Lauor confereos? To disinter
ested beholders it looks as though
Pike and Monroe, being afraid of
the Soylla of law fell into the
Cliarydis of illegality.
TRIM THE MAPLES.
VNY porson desiring to observe
beautiful shade trees should make
a tonr of the town and carefully
note the appearance of a number,
which, prior to cutting away tho
dead branches and a judicious tak
ing off of some of the lowor limbs,
were apparently diseased beyond
recovery. TUoso same trees nave
now thrown out vigorous shoots
and soom to have taken a new lease
of life. A dead limb is a great in
jury to a troo, besides marring its
beauty. There are now many trees
the foliage of which indicates dis.
ease, but if the saw was applied,
and all the limbs which appear de
caying cut a way and some of tho
larger lower tines taken off, we be
lieve the life of the tree would bo
greatly prolonged. It is much eas
ier at all events to make the effort
than to allow the tree by such ne
glect to die, and to replace it with
another and wait or the growth
But whore the tree is past hope an
other should bo planted at the pro.
per place, and this fall is a good
time.
THE P0INT3 AT ISSUE.
The opinion of Judjjo Albright in
the matter of the legality of tho two
Democratic conventions held in
Carbon, states as matters of fact
that 74 of the 75 names placed by
the county Chairman on the list
met Aug. 29, the day specified at
Concert hall. The number of dele
gates leaving the Hall represented
36 those remaining 37. The dele
gates were regularly assombled and
their first duty was to organize sothat
thoir acts might be valid. The law
requires that certificates of nomin
ation shall bo signed by the presid
ing officer and secretary. The first
duty then was to select a presiding
officer, and for years past that has
boon the custom, after being called
ta order by the County Chairman,
but no rule or custom vests him with
power to act in the organization of
a convention beyond calling it to
order. However after the list of
delegates had been read and two
had been nominated for presiding
officers, a motion was made to ad
journ upon which there was a viva
voce vote. It is not proved that
a majority of delegates voted for or
favored an adjournment. The 36
acted in concert and with the chair
man lett the hall. The meeting in
fact was not adjourned, and if the
County Chairmau so declared it, his
action ana the entertainment of a
motion to adjourn was beyond his
authority and was void. He had no
authority to entertain or act on a
proposition to disperse the unorgan
ized body of dolegates, at the ut
most he had power to act only
while the delegates were selecting a
presiding officer. But even conced
he had such authority, such action
would be wrongful because of the
party rule which providos that in
all questions voted upon any five
members may require the ayes and
nays. This demand was made, and
known to the Chairman before he
made the announcement on the
proposition to adjourn, but he re
fused it. The delegation remaining,
37 in number, representing a ma
jority of the 74 present organized,
and admitted three more on cor
tests, and then made the nomina
tions. The other party of dele
gates, who had withdrawn, met at
the Hctel, and with the one pre
viously absent, who had then ar
rived, making 37, made nomina
tions and adjourned. The Judge
therefore holds this" to have been
irregular and void and the Concert
Hall convention to be valid.

A BIO SALMON TROUT.
A paragraph is going the rounds
of the papers that a salmon trout
weighing nino pounds was rocently
enuchtbya Jerseyman while buss
fishing in the Delaware some three
miles below Milford. Gen. Goo. B.
McClulInn Is credited with having
planted them in the stream, and
the article says "a careful perusal
of the reports of the Pennsylvania
Fish Commission fails to show that
any salmon trout have been planted
at any time in the Dolawaro, If the
person making the "careful peru
sal" will turn to the renort of the
State Fish Commissioners made in
1896, page 433, he will discover that
in 1871 a number of Easton and
Philadelphia gentlemen interested
in fish culture raised a sum of money
and purchased 10,000 salmon eggs
at New Castle, Canada. These were
carefully hatched and transported
to Easton, only 2500, however, ar
riving alive. A portion were placed
in a Rpring on the Bushkill, about
four miles above Enston, nnd the
remainder in other springs on the
same tributary of the river, and
soon after Prof. Baird, the U. S,
Fish Commissioner, presented fifty
thousand spawn to Pennsylvania
and New Jersey each. Of these
forty-five thousand young trout
were deposited in tributaries of the
river, so that in less than three
years no loss than fifty-eight thous
and, five hundred sahnn solar
were planted in the Delaware.
In 1877 a salmon thirty two inches
long was caught in tho Bushkill at
Eunton, and between that date and
1879 several were caught in the Del
aware river, some weighing as much
as twenty five-pounds. After 1879
the catches closed, and in 1884 tho
Commissioners admitted that the
experiments wore failures," and that
our waters were not suitable to the
fish. But in 1889 the Fish Com
miHsioners, of whom S. B. Stilwell,
of Scran ton, was President, secured
100,000 eggs of Penobscot salmon,
had them hatched at Allentown,
and the fry, all strong and vigorous,
were deposited in tho streams trib
ntary to the headquarters of the
upper Dolaware in Wayne County,
anu two years later 300,000 more
eggs wore hatched nnd deposited
in the same streams. In 1895
salmon weighing nearly fifteen
pounds was taken in a net, and at
the close of the shad season there
was a record of 237 salmon caught
They were seen playing at Bush
kill and at Egypt Mills, and at other
points, and in 1896 many were
taken.
MISSION'S AND THEIR BASIS.
It is safe to predict that the church
will ever seek to defend its mission
ary work, and well it moy, for it
has come to be the essence of all
that keeps tho church of to day
alive. Losing its deep influence on
the races most highly cultivated
it seeks by missionury work to ex
tend its power to fresh fields and
pastures new. That Matthow does
not distinctly teach socialism is of
little importance when we consider
that tho Christ, upon whom the
church is founded, did put forth
much pure socialistic doctrine ; if
he is correctly reported. We should
not endeavor to establish the Bible
as an infalliable reference book
when much it contains is in dispute
High literary authority not only
ascribes other than the reputed
Authors as the writers of several
books in it, but clearly shows that
several others were not written nn
til long after its chronology claims
they wore. Those facts cast a
shadow on its authenticity also, and
if not authentic, then like all othor
books it must bo judged by the or
dinary rules of literary criticism
It is not an infallable guide, or why
should a c'ozon or more differon
socts, all differing radically from
each othor, draw the reasons for
their existence from its pages and
quote passage after passage, not only
in dofense of their several doctrines
but also condemning that of every
other. The believer in Mormonism
in the death penalty; in a littl
wine for the stomach's sake,
slavery, in fact, almost every "ism"
under the sun, can draw a defense
of their peculiar views or doctrines
from its facile pages. It was a
great book in the infancy of the
race, but the people are outgrowing
it at a rapid rate, and its regular
revisions to bring it up tp date,
with its use as a reference to show
what varied conceptions of good
and bad, of science in its various
branches, and an ancient and semi
barbarous people were capable of,
will give it a ploee with the purely
literary world, and by whom it will
be appreciated as a link in history
solely. As a matter of course, as
long as the use of it will enable the
clergy to retain their powor, serve
as a foundation for all the different
sects, and justify their numerous
collections from tho people, just so
long it will be iu demand, and the
foreign missionary swindle will
find plenty of defenders. II.

A CUBAN MILKMAN.
'How many cows are there about
the streets 1" somebody exclaims,
and then ho is calmly informed that
the morning's milk is simply being
delivered. A bunch of cattle and
their driver stop before n house, and
the portero comes out Wil li a cup
for the mornins's supply. It is see;
then thnt thv! cows are lieint; milk
cd from door to door, for this H tin
way tho acute Lillian housewives
have taken to assure for their tnbl
a lacteal supply which is entirely
fresh and absolutely pare.
Even with the cows milked before
tho door one must continue to watch
tho milkman, for I have oven heard
of th"ir having a rubber water bag
concealed under their loose frocks
and connecting with a rubber tube
running down iusido of tho sleeve
its tip being concealod in the hollow
of the milking hand. Only a gentle
prossuro upon tho bag of water
within is needed to thus canso both
milk and water to flow into the cup
at the same time. The milk venders
of Italy and India hnve also learned
thoir trade to perfection, for they
practico this indentical trick.

shol for the eastern district of Ten
