At the democratic meeting held in the Court House here last week one of the speak ABILITIES CONTRASTED era from Monroe, and in faot all were from Stroudsburg, devoted his entire time to decrying the ability and fitness of Judge Erdman for the position and lauding the alleged exceptional qualifications of Mr Staples, his opponent. Judge Erd man sat on the benoh here that week and all oourt attendants had Ample opportunity to judge for themselves as to whether he dis played promptness and ability in conducting the business. It Is to be deplored that such a sneooli was made and made in the presence of Mr. Staples who thereby, tacitly at least, sanctioned the attack on his former law partner and now a con testant for the office to which Mr. Staples aspires. Judge Erdman having been thus publicly assailed evidently with the consent and ap proval, it Is only fair, and Mr. Staples cannot for a moment oom plain, if a contrast is drawn He has invited and in fact courted retaliation on the part of Judge Erdman's friends. The record of cases in which he , has appeared as counsel and which the supreme and Superior courts have decided iu favor of his clients are : Mockas vs. Pooono Mountain Water Supply Co. Molles vs. Keystone Fibre Co. License of Josiah Keiper. Moore Receiver vs. Eventt. Moore vs. Susquohanna Mutual Fire Insurance Co. Culver vs. Pooono Spring Water Ice Co. Dusenberry vs. New York Life Insurance Co. Appeal of Harriet E. Fetherman. Goarhart vs. Clear Spring Water Co. Muehling vs. Muehling, Monroe County vs. Ioe Companies In all of those cases Judge Erd n;an was associated with Mr. Staples and agisted in the trial of the cases in the Monroe County oourt and in the preparation of the paper books for the Supremo Court. It will be beeu that for some reason Mr. Staples never won a cnae iu either the Supreme or Superior Court until Juilgt' Erdman became his partner. The cusut., d-jcidud against the side represented by Mr. Staples by the Supreme and Superior courU are as fuilons : Coi!;iiiuiiwetilth vs. Chanter B. Fulm.-ir. E-lute of Judib Krautes, demand. Kitnte of Hubert Huston deceased, iiixlt-r et ul. vn. Kiesje itud Green. East StrotnlnlMirg Lumber Co. ya. Knyntone Fibre Co. EnRt Htroudsburf? Iaimhor Co v Martin Gill. Catharine A. Brown vs. Milo Klptlor and wife. Henrietta Btrader vs. County of Monroe. Milton Yotfer et al. vs. Delaware Valley Railroad Co. Raymond & Co. Vs. A. II Schoon- over. In at least seven of these cases, Judge Erdman was not associated with Mr. Staples. In three of them Judge Erdman represented the side In whose favor the Supreme Court deelded. In the above list we have en deavored to be entirely fair and If any case hng been omitted It ban been unintentional. These lists show that just one half of the canes in which Mr. Stap'es has been con cerned have been decided in hip favor and one half against liiin. A Judge Erdman also was counsel in the one half that was won, whv should nil the credit be given Mr. StRples. If winning cases in the Supreme and Superior courts is n mark of ability then the fact that Mr. Staplos has been successful in eleven out of twenty-two casea and Judge Erdman ling been successful in fourteen out of eighteen is a matter of consideration. It is said that an examination of the records o' the Courts of Common Pleas nnd Quarter Ses sions in Mon MR. STAPLES' COURT RECORD roe county will disclose the fact that Mr. Staples' trial cases have been to a large extent a record of failures and as a conspicuous instance the damage suit of R, F. Schwartz vs. the D, L. & W. R. R. is citod. In that case he was in possession of all the facts and circumstances of the aocidont out of which the suit grew, yet a failure to grasp the legal principle involved cost his client a oompulsory non-suit immediotely upon closing his testimony. Many of the poople of this county have had the opportunity of witness ing Judga Erdman's method of con ducting oourt businoss. Did he evince oapacity to dispatch it exped itiously, was he Just and impartial, and did he display ability in grasp ing the legal principles involved? If he did is it not to the best interests of the taxpayers of this judicial district that he be continued in a position to which he has brought the Qualifications of honesty, integ rity and a splendid judicial tempera ment. TEACHERS' INSTITUTE (Continued from First Page) The professor isan eloquent, pleas ing and forceful speaker, and held the rapt attention of his audience during the entire evening, The music of the evening was furnished by Miss Maud Klaiu. By reason of other matter and be cause institute proceedings could not be completed in this issue, and that our readers might have a connected report, we defer publishing until our next issue. A complete and carefully written resume by a teaohor will then appear. William Jennings Bryan, accord ing to Secretary Shaw, is the most influential man in the deihocrutic party today. We can conceive of no reason why Mr. Shaw, at this time, should specially go out of his way to iiiiike such remarks about the u emu crude party. livery iarmer knows that Home plants grow better than nhers. Soil may be the same ind seed may seem the same 'jut some plants are weak and jthers strong. Ana that's the way with children. They are like young plants. Same food, same home, same care but some grow big and strong while others stay small and we Scott's Emulsion offers an eay way out of the difficulty, umid weakness olten means starvation, not because of lack of food, but because the food Joes not feed. Scott's Emulsion really feeds and gives the child growing strength. Whatever the cause of weak ness and failure to grow Scott's Eir.ult.ion seems to find it and set the matter right.

DEMOCRAT SPEAKS (Continued from First Pane) business man does not change a tried employee for one not tried. The same rule applies to office holders. Will you the descendonts of the honest Godfearing pioneers of Mon roe Coufity submit to the stupendous wrongs of the late primary eleotion this outrage upon moral decency, this assault upon your dearest rights I Mot if you are true to yourselves. A stern rebuke now will put an end to these bold fraudu lent proceedings. Let the real Democrats of Pike and Monroe County do what the Republicans and Democrats did recently in Cleveland elect a clean honest man irrespective of party. The sancity and purity of the ballot must be preserved or our republic, the grandest on earth, must fall. As to the controversy now going on between the Jeffersonian on the one side and tho Times and the Monroe Democrat on the other, I am of the candid opinion that "the Jeff" has decidedly the best of the argument that be is an np to date winner. I have no desire to engage in the contest. So muoh fuss aud feathers and all beoanse Judge Erdman wished to try a new rale for selecting jurors in criminal oases. This new rule has worked well wherever tried and doubtless ere long will go into general use. The arguments as urged against it are indeed amusl ng to say the least. I am not particularly acquainted with Court etiquette but I do not believe the lawyers as a rule are so tender and sensitive as to take offense at anything Judge Erdman said or did, nor do I think for a moment that any ordinary juror's feelings would be hurt by being asked to stand aside in open court. The rule that the Judge wished to test is in force in many places and I have often seen jurors "stood aside" in open Court without even a single blush upon their oountonanoe. As the President Judge is held responsible for the proper conduct of the Courts, it would seem only fair that ho should have the say as to handling them. In some States they do not have Associate Judges They are considered a useless ap pendage to the Bench and an an necessary expense. The politicians are endeavoring to down Judge Erdman. The labored efforts of the Monroe Democrat and the wiley artioles of the Times will not prevent Democrats who believe in fair elections from voting for him. I am a Democrat by inheritarce I I believe in the principles of the Democratic party as enunciated in tne ivansas uity "iatrorm but 1 am not a politician and can therefore voto for a Republican when I believe his administration will best conserve the interests of the people (Dr.) A Ovkrf-iki.d, Frutcheys, Pa., Oct. 12, 1WU3.

Their majority In ihe senate will be twenty-four, and in the house thirty. Many new faces are seen among the members who arrive In Washington. Twelve sena tors will see their first service, except for tho ten days extra session of the senate last spring. There will be 118 new members in the house, among them William Randolph Hearst who aspires to the democratic nomination next year. Mr. Gorman will attempt to lead a united democratic minority in the senate and as he, too, has presidential aspirations, he will be watched more closely than usual His - resentment at the president's attempts to harmonize the republican factions in Maryland, together with the fact that his brother has been dismissed from a position In the treasury department, will not tend toward the Increase of good feeling between the leader of the democratic minority and the administration. Short, economical and business-like is the republican program for the extra and regular sessions which precede the presidential election. The New York Sun and the Chicago Chronicle are still hatching forth reasons to show that Mr. Cleveland should have a fourth nomination and a third election to the presidency of the United States. The position of the Sun and Chronicle would be a sound one from the political stand point of expediency if the people thought so too. The developments of the New Haven court which has been interro gating Mr. Bryan indicate that that gentleman received a $50,000 behest from one Philo Dennett, whose will the Nebraskan drew up. Wj can now expect to be regaled with tales of entire herds of blooded heifers, providing the widow, who is con testing the behest, don't get the $50,000 from the statesman. The old question as to whether a hen should sit or set, as discussed by a Boston daily is of almost as much national Importance as whether politics Is singular or plural, a matter which has been engrossing the attention lately of a number of journals. In vieSv of the political methods usually employed the con census of opinion is that the first form of this word has the preference. MORPHINE Why Remain a Slave When You Can Be Cured at Home?
