 How can::any dealer retail such vile com pound to his customers and have a conscience void of offence?
 How can any consumer expect to purchase pure confectionery at twenty five and thirty cents per pound, when a pure article cannot be manufactured less than from. thirty to for ty cents per pound, consisting of cassia buds, burnt alo1onds and such class of goodse

PACKERS popularity at home is favor
ite theme for certain Clearfield Democrats.
We commend to them the following from
the Mauch Chunk Gazette, published in the
county where he claims to reside, although
he moved to Philadelphia to avoid paying
county taxes. 1t says:
''If any more testimony were required to
establish the fact OF Judge Packer weak
ness and unpopularity in his own party at
home, the result of the senatorial fight In
this district fully supplies it. Col. Robert
Klotz, the warm friend and choice of Asa
Packer for the nomination, after the best
fight ever made against the Broadhead com
bination, was forced to Withdrawal in con-
vention in favor of the anti Packer candi
date. 1t was thought that the audacity of
the opposing faction would hesitate at this
procedure, if only for the sake of appear
ances but when the test came the Judge
was ignored with a coolness indeed re
freshing.'

THE Bradford Hayes expedition to Green
land, has been heard of under date of July
9th, near Julienshaab. The ruins of an
old cathedral, built $50 years ago, by the
Northmen, at Krakatok, were photograph
ed The old cathedral or church is in good
state of preservation the foundations and
doorways being perfect. The walls are OF
immense thickness, which, it is asserted,
accounts for their standing so long. One
gable is firm and still eighteen feet high,
but the other is crumbling away, and the
arched window viii soon fall. At Julinshasb
magnificent glacier was discovered, and
the Photographic views from forty different
points were taken. Mr. Bradford, the ar
tist, writes that the Arctic scenery is grand
and picturesque, and greatly exceeds his
expectations. The coast of Greenland
is coverd with icebergs, and the sea is
dotted with great floating islands, from
one hundred to three hundred feet high.
The expedition was about proceeding north,
nto Melville Bay.

THE Southern Democrats seem to be get
ting their eyes open While the Pennsyl-
vania Bourbons are still clinging to the an
tiquated and exploded dogmas of State
rights, ''nigger equality" ETC., ETC., the
Southern journals seem to have arealizng
sense of the situation, and begin to COM
prehend the spirit of the age. The mem.
phis Avalanche, one of the leading Demo
cratic papers of Tennessee, has the following
paragraph, which we commend to the pray
erful consideration of Wallace, Bigler and
the lesser fossils
Recognize the negro right to vote; cease
to abuse and sneer at him treat him as q
human being, with soul in his body, and
as susceptible of the sensibilities. the
resentments and frailties of humanity, and
he will at once emulate the magnanimity of
the whites, endeavor to rival them in indus
try, enterprise and thrift, cultivate amity,
educate his children, acquire Homestead for
hi. family, strive to deserve the confidence
of his fellow men, and, above all, he will
never cast his vote to the injury of the white
man, who he has learned. by kindness, is his
only friend.

BRICK PoMERoY and his disciples are de-
termined to have August Belmont, the rich
Jew, turned out of the position of Chairman
of the National Democratic Committee. IF, y
says the virtuous Pomeroy, you put such
a man as Belmont at the head of the party
in 1872, you will not have a corporal's guard
of Democrats in the strongest d Democratic
ward in the city of New York. On all
sides the howl is down with Belmont II
And down he will go, because, like Packer,
he holds on to his money with too tight a
grip to suit the New York suckers, sharp
ers, and thieves who control the party. His
days as Chairman are numbered.

THE AGE OF ARGUMENT.-At no period
in our history have the American people
been so attentive to the reason and the SEN
timent of political parties as at present
The rapidity with which great theories have
trlumphed has compelled this attention.
The citizen is no longer, or rarely, deceived
by personal attacks or party war cries He
sees SO many things accomplished which he
had been taught to reject, that he reviews
his own prejudices and gradually lays them
aside. The main point in this universal de-
sire for information on all the leading topics,
and the one most fatal to the Democracy, is
the real surrender of the South to the ne
cessity and the benevoleuce of the abolition
of slavery. Now, to maintain slavery was,
ten years ago, chief tenet of that party.
The most ignorant man cannot see the
good results of this overthrow without pro.
found distrust of the other dogmas of his
creed and without increasing contempt for
his old leaders. Not less hurttul to the De-
mocrscy is the admirable conduct of the
freedmen and the general submission to
colored suffrage in the South. Democrats
recolect how they have been taught to look
upon the negro; and as they see his indus
try. his eagerness TO acquire knowledge, and
his rapid acquisition of property, they ask
themselves whether the politicians who de-
MED him all these attributes are no longer
worthy of confidence. There are other as
poets OF the age of argument, such as the
contrasted economy of Grants administra
ton with the profigacy of all his Democrat
ic predecessors, anu his rapid reduction of
the national debt, in the face of adverse
Democratic prophecies; but the main facts
of the surrender to the beneficial conse-
quences of the abolition of slavery, and the
exemplary department and improvement of
toe freedmen are sufficient to point tie i'm
pteSsive moral

''WHY." nsively asks the New York
World, don't the radical papers tell US
something about the President who swings
round the circle?" Simply because the
President who happens to be swinging
round the circle just at present has some
regard for decency and propriety. He does
not stop at every town that lies in his path
to get off an insane political TRADE, to abuse
the CO ordinate branches of the Government
to handy words with roughs and rsgamuf
fins, and to make himself disgrace to the
country. That's the reason why none of
the radical papers see fit to abuse the Presi-
dent for endeavoring to keep cool in the
dog days by swinging round the circle

THE friendship of Asa Packer for the
working man, finds ample proof in the re-
cord of his business career, as it is develop
ed from day to day. For example, from
1871 to lS4s, he paid his employees in the
scrip of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company at par, and then redeemed it from
them at 40 per cent. discount The scrip
was next to useless The men could not
buy anything with it, and were compelled
to submit to the shave, in order to procure
food and raiment for their families; of
course Packer did this all out of pure kind
ness of heart. He knew that money was
the root of all evil, and that he was doing
the poor men a service by just giving them
enough to keep body and soul together, and
putting the extra 40 per cent. in his own
pocket. Is it any wonder he is worth so
many millions? What friend to the
working men? Heaven save them from
such friends"

WHERE is Mutchler? He has not been
heard from since his appointment as Chair
man of the Democratic Committee. 1t is
very evident that the Democratic canvass is
to be run 'on the sly" Men who operate
chiefly with money in elections avoid all
other arguments. In fact, they have SO
little to say for themselves that they fear the
field of reason. With Republicans it is diff
ferent. They court discussion. They live
by the exhibition and vindication of their
record. They must not, therefore, allow
themselves to be deluded by silent cam
paign. The more public their efforts, the
better for themselves

THE Democrats base their hopes of sue

THE Democrats base their hopes of sue
cess in the coming election upon the apathy
of the Republicans. They hope to see
considerable falling off of the vote of tho
Republicans throughout the State. They
argue that the Presidential election last tall
having called out full vote, there will be a
reaction this year which will result in the
falling off in the total vote and operate to
the disadvantage of the Republicans, the
Democrats being accustomed to pollins their
full vote Oh all occasions. There is plausl
bility in this reasoning, and it becomes all
working Republicans, especially Vigilance
Committees to see to it that every Repub-
lican vote is got ont.

do to perfection-he could bolt Eighteen

Campbell, the Democratic nominee for the

The rumor that Hon. r. c. Grier, was
about 20 resign his seat as an Associate jus
tice of the u s. Supreme Court, is contra
dicted by authority. Though very old he is
one of the ablest Judges on the bench. We
think, however, that as a general rule all
Judges ought to be retired at sixty-fve
years of age There may be, and are, ex-
ceptional instances where Judges over that
age exhibit no decline in mental power and
Judicial. l.vigor, but in the majority of cases,
the crotchets, whims, and decrepitude of
declining life, after that age, units them for

A FAVoRTTE argument with the Democ.
racy why Packer should be elected, is his
sbrewd management of his private business.
That he is exceedingly shrewd, financially,
can no longer be questioned. For example,
he furnished the State Committee with
800. 200, to run the campaign, and imme-
diately raised the tonnage on coal, over the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, which he owns,
hfty-hve cents per ton This additional
tonnage which must be paid by the consum-
ers OF coal, who are principally poor labor
ing men, will soon make up the $l00. 900

doubt the "shrewdness" of a man who can
make the consumers of coal pay the expen-
ses.ot Gubernatorial campaign? Wonder.

THE New York Nation has correct con-
ception of the party of dead issues. 1t
says: The Democracy had only imbeciles
for chiefs since the Southern ones went into
delirium but madness seems more durable
than idiocy, and that still prevails in their
councils in our Northern section" Every
one who has paid the least attention to the
proceedings of the Democratic patty in Ohio
and Pennsylvania, and who reads the pa
pers OF that faith, will agree in opinion

treasury for August, could reduce the debt
more than two millions but he has aston
ished everybody by cutting it down for that
month 1904, 234.79 If it had not been
for the heavy payments to pensioners, due
on the 4th September, it would have been
reduced 81 ZOO, 900 more. This makes the

Millions of dollars. This does not look

THE burthen of Democratic speeches and
papers is economy" They are all bowling
about an economical administration of the
government. Let us guage them by their
acts instead of their professions: Last win
ter an ATTEMPT was made in the Legislature
to raise the salary of members from 81 900
TO 81. 500. When the question came up in
the House, sixteen democrats out of thirty
eight, the number in that body, voted in
favor of raising it to 81, 500, seventeen vot-
ed against it, and five did not vote. OF
sixty-two Republican members, twelve vot-
ed IN favor OF increasing the pay, forty-six
voted against it, and four did not vote.
Thus 1t stands on the question of economy.
Nearly half of the Democrats wanted to paw
themselves $500 more than the present law
allowed them. Only one-fifth of the Repub
lican members We're willing TO increase their
salaries. Such economy as their, would
bankrupt the richest Government In the
world
