Mr.. A. McGregOr, Esq
Enclosed l remit to you t1CO dollars for
the STARK Co. DEMOCRAT | hope you
will forgive my tardinessin not remitting
sooner. have no reasonable excuse Tor
nv delay. The regular visits of the
STARK Co. DEMOCRAT, with its enlarged
form, bright and happy face, indicative
of good living, purer atmosphere, and
healthier surroundings, remind me of its
earlier struggles and its present cheering
prospects. The wild and insane COM
motion of the past, endangering life, lib.
ertyand property, has spent its fury; and
a still small voice has spoken TO the tur-
bulent, surgl6g elements, "Pedce be still"
and the angry elements have ceased their
roar. The past is full of admonitlon,
when reason and fitness was dethrpned,
and the conflict of 4 pure public sentl-
ment. authorized by our patriotic ances-
tors, came in contact with the rage
of publicly diseased condition. Then
every coming wave seemed to be an
opening grave, threatening to engulph
the shin of State. This furious storm,
Threatened the destruction of human
hope and happiness, enshrouding the
homes of the departed with the black
Ipall of despair, scattering the wreck OF
matter all around us. Thank God, the
storm has passed and ceased its havoc,
and the dark cloud oflnisfortune hasIbeen
lifted and compelled to retire before the
cheering sunlight of heavenly beauty.
The political atmosphere of our country
is more purifying in its effects, untram-
meled reason has asserted her original
right, and has become the defender OF
human rights, and the scathing opponent
OF oppression and wrong doing.
Our present condition and surround
ings now demand the prompt attention
and vigorous action Of the people. How
shall the evils the people are enduring
be remedied? How shall the burthens
imposed upon the people, without their
consent, be removed? How shall future
robbery, plunder and extravaganza be
prevented These are vital questions,
which demand the thoughtful considera-
ton of penetrating minds, that are far
reaching in their natures, and they also
claim the attention of all political con-
yentions. To correct these abuses oil
power, shall we trust the men who have
created them2 They have proven them
selves untrustworthy, What they have

Kite String.

One day last week little boy who had
been standing for some time in front of
drug store in Baltimore, enviously evening
a large reel well provided with 'simmy
dimmy' twine, as the boys call it, which
was fastened to the top Of the counter, sum-
moncd up courage enough to walk in and
ask for q few yarC with which to fly his
kite. The Doctor bears the reputation Of
being Il good -natured man, full of humor,
and very fond of the little ones, but
the youngster approached him at time
when he was out of his usual mood,
and he consequently gave "No y for
au answer. The urchin had made up his
mind to have some of ''that cord anyhow,
and he got it. On Thursday morning the
boy entered the store, accompanied by an
other boy and Il dog. Boy No. ,, having
placed bottle upon the counter, denurely
asked for five cents worth of SYRUP squills
and pollvgollic," and while the Doctor was
filling the order boy No. was tying the
end of the cord to the dogs tail. When
the man Of medicine returned to the counter
the reel was flying like fury. The Doctor
quietly reached for pallet knife and, hav-
ing hung himself over the counter, made a
desperate whack at the Uranium of the
youngster, who, he supposed, was sitting On
the floor helping himself. But 10 the boys
and the dog ''Bouncer' were not there.
The Doctor having tried in vain to stop
his reel was obliged to give it up on account
of the heat it communicated to the palm OF
his hand. When he reached the door he
beheld the boys upon the sidewalk about
two blocks off, and ''Bouncer' in the mid
die Of the road going at the rate of forty
knots an hour, the string pointing directly
toward his tail. The reel continued to spin
for some time afterward, until it stopped o
its own accord.

y CHAPTER FROM PfoLETT's RECoRDf
Victor Piolett, the Democratic candidate
for State Treasurer, was n member of the
House at Harrisburg in 1916, and of the.
Committee on Banks An effort was liiad,s
to repeal the charter of the Lchigh County
Bank, and Piolett was handed $l0O in the
uncurrent notes of the Plainfcld Bank of
New Jersey, so rs to let the bill out of the
committee. \ man by the name Of McCook
was tried for this alleged bribery, Piolett
being called as witness against HMM
deed he Was the iniUrmer and bad returned
the money the next day after receiving it..
Among other things Piolett said he had
gone into McCooks room and received the
Si00 returned to his own room, sat down
and counted the money, and he said he
wept to think that any one would be, or
could be bribed for S400. Thaddcus Ste
vens said, ''Gentlcmcn of the jury, [ have

the money i'll his ownroom, shedding tears.
He admitted that he was not aware Of Il,

Now, he knew that Plainfeld Bank was in
bad roputc, in fact he supposed it to be ut
terly worthless. These tears fell not be-
cause he thought they had passed utterly
worthless paper upon him. His virtue
could not stand an attempt to bribe him
with counterfeit money. Now, gentleman
of the jury, had he not COTTON into a pas,

learned that he could have had them changed
to gold or silver for from five to seven per
cent, he would have pockcted the insult

Cheating Not Profitable.

One morning respectable locking and
quite wealthy farmer, who was generally
known as very close shaver, whenever he
had a chance, brought his butter hand
somely done up in pound rolls. This was
at time when it was scarce and worth
three shillings, quick sales at that price,
which no doubt had induced him. to scant
the weight of each roll. unexpectedly the.
weigh master saw his butter opened for
sale, when he prepared his test seals to
weigh 1t: while doing so the farmer in his
anxiety, quick as thought, slipped ten
dollar gold piece out of his vest pocket, and
while the weigh masters back was turned,
thrust it into the top roll, as, he thought,
unperceived by any one.
The roll was taken up and it weighed
full weight, which satisfied him without
weighing any other but while he was put
ting up his scales, Quaker gentleman who
had been standing near by, and had seen
the whole transaction, came up and in-
quired the price of butter. ''Three shil-
lings, said the farmer
Put me that roll in my kettle" says,
the Quaker, poiting to the roll with the
gold piece in.
Farmer-"I have sold that roll to
friend
"Ao, thee has not--thee can give thy
friend another roll; they are all good and
weigh alike" He turned and questioned
the weigh master, who said to the farmer
'Hc was entitled to that roll or any roll
he chose to take, if they were priced to
him With this the Quaker took up the
gold roll and placed it in his kettle, then
laid down three shillings and as he was
going lie coolly told the farmer ''Thce
will not always find cheating profitable
