P. Hall of Elk has been elected chairman of the Demo cratio State oommitt. County Commissioner Vnndermark recently purchased a fine yoke of cattle up in Wayne county. Farmers can now sell their own products without a license in and about the Btreets of boroughs, the governor having signed the net granting the permission. The R. W (i. M. Edgar A. Tenuis accompanied by a number of grand officers and distinguished masons from Philadelphia will today consti tute the J. Simpson Africa lodge, F. &. A. M., at East Stroudsburg. Mrs. Margare'j, widow of tha late Alfred Brink, died at her home near Sparrowbush, N. Y., Wednes day aged 62 years. She was born in Dingtnan township, this county, and was a daughter of Anthony and Jemima Reasor. Mrs. Cotterill, who formerly resid. ed in Lehman, this county, died at the home of her son, Albert, at Bushkill last Saturday of pneumonia aged about 75 years. The funeral was held Monday and interment in Delaware cemetery. Bishop Ruley, presiding over the Philadelphia colored conference at Westchester, said members must 1 not smoke and if they do must suffer the consequenoes. He said "If the Lord had intended men, and especially ministers, to smoke be would have made him with smoke stacks on top of his head. Some of you indulge in the habit. It is not Christlike. Let us help sustain both the moral and civil law." Antiquated Methods Where there Is not a woman in the case, congress seems to be the party present. In the matter of the trouble in the post office department, It seems that the methods of auditing are antiquated and entirely inadequate, so insufficient that far greater scandals than the present one are constantly invited the post ofliee department is an enormous machine and also that the defects have been called repeated ly to the attention of congress, oIHicially, with recommendations for the. adoption of new methods. Audi tor Castle of the department has again and again urged congress's attention to the "notoriously defec tive methods" In use, but that august body has not heeded. With such a great organization as the post office department of the United States having annual money transactions of a billion dollars, the most up-to-date methods should tiave long since been provided, and change from tinie to time as the necessity demanded. Demociuta and Tariff Immediate revision of the tariff is the democratic platform announced by ex-Senator Iliii of New York, although lie know that even should the democrats will ia the next presi dential election, it would be ini)os bibie for them to revise the tariff. What revision of the tariff is made will lie done by the people who believe in a tariff, not by those who are theoretical fiee-traders, even tho they did ii'it have the spunk to enact a fivu-trade law, or one which did anything but cinbyivu.-.s manufactur ing indu.-tii.-, when they bad the 1 1 p.. rniiiStv. Rfmsonnblfineai of v7oninn Bnftrnge There is nothing against woman mifTrag oxi'e(it the jirejiiiln-o ol human nature. 1 grant tlmt the issue Is radical nil reforms nece-i-m-rily are hut no none In the political world tins more reason for recognition than woman suffrage. I'p to about r0 years ago higher education fur women hurt the prejudice of the win 111 against it the classics would ruin her morals, philosophy would ruin her religion and mathematics would ruin lier health, nnd In general a college edueation would take nwiiy her desire to he ft Rood wife pud mother, ro to protect her the colleges were closed against her. While the (publications for Ameri can suffrage Is taking some attention now because of certain constitutional action In the southern states, this question deserve the first considera tion. Its Importance and Justice lie over every other que.it ion pertaining to American suffrage, l on hear much talk nbout the injustice to the illiterate colored man, but what ol the Injustice to the educated woman- hood of America? You cannot point to a single instance where the right oi ballot given to the colored man has lifted the morals of the community whore it was exercised, but I defy you to show me a single Instance where the right of suffrage to women did nut lift the moral tone of the community where it was practiced, and woman suffrage has a history of practical working covering 70 years I am not advocating a system to disfranchise men because lliey are colored, or to give the riglit of suffrage to nnother elass because they are women, but intelligence should have recognition, whether it lies in the brain of man or woman, white or colored, and anything short of this savors ol superstition and slavery. Ignorance of voters has been the cause of much of our political crime, No one should be allowed to vote who cannot read and write, and in no election should anyone, man or wo man, holding property be debarred from casting their ballots. By every law of Justice it would pass as an axiom that every taxpayer should have a voice In the expenditure ot the tax money we pay. Argue as you may, any other conclusion is unjust and Is bound by prejudice. Peter Ainislie, U. 1)., Baltimore, Md. Btnkei and Prosperity A few editors, now and then, break fortli Into calamitious wails over the condition of the country. Dispepsia must be a potent factor in such cases, for certainly the United States has never been in a better physical and mental condion than it is today. The Boston Post takes oc- casion to point out that appaiently strikes indicate anything but pros perity. It dwells at length on the number and extent of the strikes now on and wants to knoyr if "this looks like prosperity" the unexampled prosperity Secretary Root in his Boston speech and President Roose velt in Milwaukee said that we should probably have with us Indefinitely if we did not open the tariff question. Asa mntter of fact strikes are al- ways more or less associated with prosperity. Strikes come at all times both as a result of hard times and along with good ones, but there is a vast difference In the causes. The strikes of the last Cleveland regime were the sullen protests of labor against the reduction of wages, made by manufacturers because the people would not buy their products and there was no money being made; twlay the manufacturers and the captalnsof i ndust ry a re col nlng money and labor strikes for Increased wages what it lielieves to be its share of the in rolling wealth. It is difficult to see what satisfac tion Is obtained from calamity howl ing at this time.

Germany Investigating Cermnny proposes to keep abreast of American agriculture by sending over a party of fifty eminent practical and scientific agriculturalists to make an extensive tour of American farm ing and fruit growing sections. Ad vanced agents have been spying out the land and have forwarded a report to Germany advising the party how to prepare for the American invasion. In summer, the report states, "the American wears light trousers, a leather belt, a shirt and a light Jacket Only at festival dinners are evening clothes worn," and advice is given that the party bring its own cigars os nothing smokablo in this lino can be Had in the United States for less than ten cuts Perhaps the American idea would be that fifty large Dutch merschaum pipes and a bale or two of tobacco would meet the latter demand. A few presidential possi bilities are being mentioned, nnd not a few im possibilities. Subscribe for the Pkkss. iiiviLJ vJ -I Timbers of oak keep the old homestead standing through the years.

The Iowa Idea ., The democratic breach -makers are considerably' alarmed over the pros pect that the dissentions among the Iowa republicans are about to be amicably adjusted und that the slate will swing in line with the usual great republican presidential majority If the democrats would devote their attention to breach-bridging rather than exploiting supposed serious dis sentions amoiig their opponents, they would stand in better way of accom plishing something.
