Address OF tho Democratic state
Committee.


CLs.s,irsD. Pa, July 81, 1908.
Democrats Of Pnnsylpanta:
THE HOUR FOR WORK HAS COME!
We Earnestly invite you to organize for
victory.
Attention to details, persevering energy,
organization and discipline will bring tri-
umph to your principles.
Zeal and perseverance in every Democrat,
and thorough organization in every locality,
are the true roads to success.
Superficial effort, noise and parade arc
yalueless. The stake is mighty one, and
must be won by systematic work and busi-
ness.lke energy.
Pennsylvania is the battle-ground. AT
the October election the enemy will make
their most determined contest.
You occupy the post Of honor-the van
guard Of the Democratic army You have
proven your ability to carry the State ; and
individual effort, faith in your principles
and courage in their maintenance no,0, will
enable you to count your majority by tens Of
thousands.
The drift Of the tide is toward you; the
evidences of changes arc abundant; and it
is apparent that the political revulsion now
in progress will end in the utter overthrow
of Radicalism.
Let US labor to deserve SO propitious a
result.
We invoke you, then, to energetic action,
to close attention to the details Of your or
ganization, TO the formation Of clubs, to the
conversion of voters, to the enthusiastic
support of your candidates-Seymour, the
statesman, and Blair, the gallant soldier.
Let us recognize in their names the sym
bols of change, the representatives of hatred
to Radicalism, and extending the hand Of
fellowship to all who will aid us in saving
the Republic. Conservatives and Demo-
Gratis will move forward under their banner,
as a mighty phalanx, united, determined
and irresistible.
Let your warfare be aggressive. Defend
nothing. The Radicals in power are re-
sponsible for the unhappy condition Of our
country. Charge upon them their extrava'
gance and their crimes. Demand Of them
an account for your treasure wasted, your
Union not restored, your race degraded,
your business destroyed and your govern
ment prostituted.
Let your rallying cries be, a government
of white men equal taxation; one curren'
cy for all.
Organize! Organize Organize!
TO work To work To work
BY order Of the Democratic State Com
mittee. WILLIAM A. WALLACE,
Chairman,
Bloomsburg democrat. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1867-1869, 1868-07-29
The Farmer Boys.

"rm sick of hocing in the corn
And following the plow;.
OF working hard from dewy morn,
Till eve, with heated brow,
No longer will / stay to NOW
Or pitch the scented hay;
To the great city | will so,
Where wealth is gained by play
Tut, tut, my man! hush up that song
Let wisdom be your guide !.
That dream of wealth may lead you wrong
And wreck you on the tide.
Sit down with me upon this stone;
Your team will take no. harm;
If we amt kings upon throne,
We'cr kings upon farm.
Gods healthy brcezcs round you blow,
His birds your music make,
And sweetest rest is yours, you know,
When night doth ovcrtake.
The harvest will your toll repay;
Those fields Of waving grain
Are growing through the sunny day
And in the summer rain.
Men work as hard as you, in shade,
Orc books and papers bent
The work Of life is easy made,
Only by sweet content.
1t may be news, my friend, to you,
But tbs the truth | tell
An work is very hard to do
10 those who do it well.
In sppculatiOns YOU must stand

Selecting an Empress.

Just now everything relating to China
and the Chinese is read with revived interest
in America, owing to the presence here Of
the remarkable Burlngame embassy
Among the strange customs OF that peculiar
people none is more curious than the man
ner in which the Emperor Of all the China
men obtains his wife. The present Emperor
is lad Of thirteen summers, and the time
has arrived-nOt for him to choose his con-
sort, but for one to be chosen for him by the
dowager Empresses. Of course, the young
Emperor will, in due time, have as many
consorts as he shall imperially choose, but
the one who is now selected is to be the En-
press par excellence This is the way the
Chinaman put it, "As there is but one sun,
there can be but one moon, though she may
walk in the midst Of train of brilliant les
ser lights" This Empress is to set an ex-
ample to all Chinawomen, while the Emper-
or performs that service for the men Of his
extensive empire.
1t seems that it is not necessary that the
Empress should be selected, as in Europe,
from the royal families of other States, nor
must she be of princely or even noble blood.
She must, however, be member of the
dominant race, free from physical blemisb,
smart intellectually, and beautiful-that is,
according to the Chinese idea Of beauty.
Not many weeks ago it was announced
that the Empress was to be chosen, and a
great excitement was occasioned among the
female circles of China. At last the people
saw going through the streets 96 closed car
riages, containing the fairest maidens Of the
empire, all on their way to the court to un.
dergo the sitting process. At the court the
first sitting by the dowagers aforesaid re-
duced the candidates to 20. Another ex-
animation took place resulting in the dis.
missal of oil except six maidens two Of
whom were nieccs Of the imperial ladies'
At the latest accounts the final choice had
not yet been made, and it was suspected
that one Of the two nieces would be chosen.
This seems very curious way Of choosing
an Empress, but the question arises wheth-
er-supposing the clecting dowagers able to
remove themselves from the influences Of
celestial nepotism-it is not infinitely pre-
ferablo to the system Of royal intcrmarriages
so prevalent among western nations, and
which tends to the perpetuation ofa race OF
crowned semi.imbeciles.

ALL who bow the knee to the Baal of
Radicalism are ut once reconstructed and
made truly "loil." All who refuse to do
this are disfranchised ''rebels." 'l.ct us

PEOPLE in church on Sundays, just now,
have tasks to perform: first, to fight the

drowsinc.s that steals over tho senses when
the thermometer is wrestling against the

FlsHlNdCREEK, July 20, 1868.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT 1.-THE want Of har-
mony" among us originated two years ago,
and is traceable, in great measure, to the
delegate system itself, or the manner Of in.
structing the delegates and as the time OF
our preliminary meeting is nigh at hand, l
would call the attention Of the people to it.
Where there are two or more candidates
for the same office, let them all be voted tor.
Let the delegates also be voted for, and in
structcd to 90 for the man that has the
highest number of votes on the list, as the
peoples first choice, then, if he is with
drawn, for the next highest, and so on. In
this way the delegates, being definitely in
structcd, will know just what the people ex-
pect of them.
The candidates should not be allowed to
appoint the delegates, nor to have any con-
troll whatever over them after they arc ap-
pointed, and hence could not transfer their
delegates to ono another, as is often done.
1t would do away with all this "wirc-pulling'
and confusion that sometimes attends our
County Conventions, and save a great deal
of the hard feeling that fingers after the
conventions are over. But it may be said
that our delegates arc not bound by oath,
and therefore not to be trusted-that they
might be controlled by influential men, Or
bought by those who have plenty of money.
| do not know how it might be in other
townships, but l will vouch for Fishingcreek'
No man among US who has any regard for
his reputation as politician or an honest
and we would appoint no others-would
dare do such a thing. We would put a
mark on him that he would never be able to
wipe out We would not coa6de in him at
forwards for the Office Of dog-peltcr.
