Under this head we will publish communications witiiouc In any .wise endorsing or being responsible for the sentiments or opinions ex pressed : i View on Politics. The people of this oounty made great mistake in not electing Mi chael J. Lyun of this township rep resentativa in the legislature two years ago. Had they done so think he would have sucoeeded in procuring the passage of an act to equalize taxution. He ia no qua in ted with every farmer and merchant in Wayne, Susquehan na Monroe, Carbon, Lackawanna, Lu zerne and Wyoming counties, ii fact every mm in business this side the Allegmy mountains. This op portunity has ootue through buying stock in this Btate and he was a mer chant in the Wyoming valley before coming t3 this oounty Hence his extensive acquaintance. He is an Irishman and a Catholic and would be assisted by that vote in the state, both democratic and republican. He would have received many republi can votes in his last campaign had not democrats preveutod. A party came along Just previous, to the pri niaryand left orders with the judges that if any republican offered to vote T.ynn be would b liable to ar rest. If Lynn will run as an inde pendent represontatU.i this year, which I hope he will, we will all vote n.m. lie is the only man who will ever get a bill for ecimtliz ition Of taxation pasd for corporations will tiijlit such a measure to the bit ter enii and a bill of that character would bo worth more to our taxpay ers than all the bills ovor pa-wed by representatives from th 8 county. There are 'M miles of the Erie in this county which for taxable pur poses would be worth more than all the rest of the county to get her. There is no reason why that corporation should nut be tjixed here as it is in other counties where it pavs nearly all the taxes. The bill pi viiiij it the right to gothrouuh tuis eouiwy without taxation should be repealed and were this done our Citizens would not, be compelled to pay half the tax thev do now. We keep tiio paupers, pay tax for the criminal cases, support the tramps and bear the expenses of law suits for this company and tliey contrib ute not lung. This is rather a hard fel.ip. Mr. Lynn has told the people of the county that if any one else could do what he promises he would not ran but be has assured a great liiany dnnns the past twenty-five yen is that if his life was spared he would bo a candidate. He was and met Willi lift. 'lit. ile wiVties to bout-Ill tljii people) and 1 think if they cUvii :l lam he would do so. x,r t.r J. :i'jL Tax .i l to.

"I was troubled with srrofnla and rnme near losing my eyesleht. For four months I ewnld not see (o do anything.

Hood's Sarsnparilla promise to cure and keeps the promise. THE CHURCH COLUMN. (By RRV. C. K. Sci'MiRK ) The topic for next rtabbath morn ing is "htabiury, and for the eve- mug, 'Soul Windows." The topio for the prayer service on Wednesday eve ing is 'Sancli flcntion." The Cantata next. Frilay night. Let me add a word. It is the view of the writer that the young peo ple of the church an 1 Sibbath school, for their own sake, should have a large audience next Friday night. No admission fee will be charged but u silver oll' iring will he taken which will go for Piibbath school work. Let us keep in mind the lecture on "Paris and The Parisians" by Dr. Ryman to be given April 11th. Dr. Rytnan is highly appreciated by the church of hts choice and has been honored with the eldership three times. He conies to us with his p ipular and instructive lecture on n renowned city and people. This will bo a rare treat for Milford. Music for the evening will be fur. nished by the school and our male quartet. Court again. Troubles to settle. Still there is sin evon in as delight ful a place as Pike county and sin will make trouble. I hope that all will get justice and go home not only wiser but happier. Is thai hopirg the impossible? If it is im possible then let na learn that what law can not no Divine Urace can and he who appeals his case to the court of Divine justice will be able to carry with him through life a peaceful conscience knowing full well that no injustice will prevail there, The whisperings of the approach- ing conference indicate many more changes that were apparent, a few weeks ago. Our sympathy goes out for the presiding elders who have the difficult, task on hand of recom mending every man in the confer ence for some field While the appointing power is in the hands of the Bishop much depends on the recommendations of the elders and they remain on the field to titke all the hlauio for things that fail ti satisfy either the preachers or churches. Never thought of such sign for a medicine did you ? Well, it's a good sign for Scott's Emulsion. The body has to be repaired like other things and Scott's Emulsion is the medicine that does it. These poor bodies wear out from worry, from over-work, from disease. They get thin and weak. Some of the new ones are not well made and all of the old ones are racked from long usage. Scott's Emulsion fixes all kinds. It does the work both inside and out. It makes soft bones hard, thin blood red, weak lungs strong, hollow places full. Only the best ma terials are used in the patching and the patches don't show through the new glow of health. No one has to wait his turn. You can do it yourself you and the bottle.
