COST OF TILDEN's ELECTION.
The Burden it will Impose Upon Every
Voter.

The election of Mr.. Tilden by the
solid South means the payment of the
claims and demands presented by the
solid South.
About ago bills containing and pro-
viding for such claims were presented at
the late session of the Democratic Con-
gress. Several Of them were general
bills to pay for all property used or oc-
cupied by the Union army, without
reference to the loyalty of the claimants.
The best calculations show that these
claims aggregate over s., 400, 600, 900.
Let the voters look at the figures and
answer whether they want to pay the
cost /:
Total Southern Claims 8, sos, 81, 1856

The Constitutional amendment does
not prohibit the payment of these claims
it only prohibits the payment of the
rebel debt. With Democratic success
there is nothing in the way.

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

It is the imperative duty of Repubh-
cans, this fall, to fight clean battle and
to leave no openings for the shafts of
their enemies. The chief candidate of
the Democracy is one of the most vul-
nerable men ever placed before the peo-
pie for their s1lfsrages, and, if the Re
publicans are true to themselves, they
will easily defeat the bold attempt of a
successful railway undertaken to reach
the Presidency under false cry of re-
form and by the power of his ill-gotten
money. There has not been q canvass
since the war in which there has been so
much interest taken by the men who
have real stake in the country. Peo-
pie who used to forswear politics are
now nightly attending meetings and
working for the good cause. There are
many who are not doing it, however,
and to them we say, turn out. Keep up
the interest in our own locality, and
when election day comes around don't
stand idly back and allow the selections
to be made from among men that you
are ashamed to advocate, but see to it
that such citizens vote for the men best
fitted for the trust they aspire to fill.
That is the supreme duty OF Republi-
cans to-day. Do not leave the duty to
your neighbors. Let farmers, business
men, ta-c payers, lovers of their country.
turn out, and IN each town get out the
whole vote of those who are naturally
Republicans. The people are afraid o.
the threatened Democratic accession to
power, and if properly walked up vii
easily prevent it. This can easily bt
done by every man faithfully doing his
individual duty about his own home
Such a combination makes formidable
irresistible army of workers all over thu
county, and with such a combination
victory is certain.

WITHOUT A PARALLEL.-The Demo-
cracy pointed to the expenditures since
the Republicans came into power, as
being without parallel in the history
of the country. If the expenditures are
without parallel in our history, so the
means employed, the honesty and ener-
gy displayed, the craftsmanship that
created the measures necessary to carry
the Government through the most dan
gerous period of its existence, must be
regarded as without parallel in the his
tory of nations.
A party should be judged by the weight
of its responsibilities and its achieve
ments. Under this rule the Republican
party, in Its management of public af-
fairs, must invoke the favorable judg
ment of all fair and impartial minds.
The magnitude of its labors can only be
measured by their priceless results. and
these will grow in value as generation
follows generation. These vast achieve
ments of the Republican party are with
out parallel in the history of any country.

have before remarked, that Gov. Tilden

which can easily be rolled up to 81, 900,
100000. These he does MOI promise to
veto. He says they should be ''scru-
tinized." Perhaps it is well for the
people to do the scrutinizing before de-
ciding whether to vote for Hayes, who,
al admit, would trample these trumped
up claims under foot, or for Gov. Tilden,
who mildly states that they ought, really
and truly, to be 'tscrutinized" before

Mr.. TLpEN is right in his belief that
the country utterly distrusts Democracy.
Had he asserted that a Democratic Con-
gress would never pass bills SO outrage
Gus, everybody would have laughed at
him, and pointed to the record. For
the present Democratic House has re-

that committee avowed its opinion that

the claimant.-N Y. Tribune.

LET us "sORUTINIzE."

AS Gov. Tilden says, 'tthe danger to
the United States Treasury is not from
claims of persons who aided the Rebel
lion, but from claims of persons residing
in the Southern States who were, or
pretended to be, or who for the sake of
aiding claims, now pretend to have been
loyal to the Government of the Union. :"
He says this class of claims, wherein the
danger to the United States Treasury"
lies, 'sshould be scrutinized with care. !"
Here are couple of specimens of the
claims he describes now in the hands of
the appropriate Committee of Congress.
The first is that of Marie P. Evans, of
Louisiana,-a woman in the case plainly
and of consequence, anoncombatant and
loyal. It WAS for 1912, $40, but as amend

How Hayes Was Captured.

The political campaign machine down
South is ready creased and In first-rate or
der, as will be seen by the following account
of the capture of Gov. Hayes, which we
copy from the "Atlanta Times" It is worth
preserving as the champion Of the season.
Hayes brigade was never in the place where
the gigantic and young Confederate says he
captured Governor, and there are many
ear-marks about the story to lead one to be-
lieve that the man Price was never there
either:
General Hayes, the present Radical can
didate for the Presidency, was captured
during the war under circumstances by no
means creditable to his gallantry as an Of
ficer.
His captor was James q. Price, now la
borer on the farm of G. W. Howard. on
Lookout Mountain, Walker county, Ga.
Price was private in Company B, Cap
tain Tidwell, Sixth Georgia Regiment infan-
| try, Colquitt's brigade.
The capture took place few days after
the blowing up at Petersburg.
The Federal troops held the Weldon Rail-
road. Fields attacked them in front and on
the left of Hayes command, Colquitt moved
| to the right and attacked them in the rear
The Federal troops surrendered after brief
| resistance. The ammunition OF our men
was nearly expended. The Federals were
armed with seventeen-shooter carbines
Fields was not attacking that end of the line,
yet 8, 200 threw down their arms before this
single brigade.
| In charging the breastworks Price saw a
splendid Federal flag. This he tore down
Hayes was standing near 1t. Price ordered
him to surrender. Hayes asked. care YOU

pointing pistol (Which he carried through
the wary at him. "It don't make a bit o1
difference, you surrender, or I'll xii! you. y
Hayes answer was, ~ surrender" Price
then unbuckled his sword, cut off the straps

TeleGraphing by Cable.

How long does It take to transmit mes
sage through the Atlantic Cables The New
York "Journal of Commerce" has been
investigating this question, and simple as It
looks at first sight, there are many singular
and interesting points in the answer. When
the electricity is applied to the cable at one
end, two tenths of second pass before any
effect is felt at the other end, and three
seconds are consumed before the full force
of the current Is in action. The first signal
Is felt in four-tenths of second, but the
following one goes through more rapidly.
As many as seventeen words have been sent
over the Atlantic cable in one minute;
fifteen can usually be sent under pressure,
and twelve words q minute is q good work.
ing rate. Messages of twelve words have
been sent all the way from New York to
London in two minutes. A fact not yet ex
planned by the scientists is that the elec-
tricity does not move a. rapidly from New
York to London as in the opposite direc-
ton. Sgs.5 n @.s.sa N

The Suspended Bank of POttsville.
TPhila. Bulletin of Tuesday.I

The second meeting of the stockholders of
the suspended bank Of the Miners Trust
Company was held yesterday, but resulted |
In nothing definite. It is now ten days
since this institution closed its doors, but
the efforts of the stockholders have 60 far
been unavailing to secure satisfactory in
sight into its affairs.
This was one of the Oldest banks in town,
having been established in 1859. 1t was or
ganized under State laws and was principally
owned and entirely controlled by its Presi-
dent, Jacob Huntzinger. It paid six per
cent. interest on deposits, and in this way
secured an immense patronage. Its CAPT.
tai was $10O, 900; its deposits about 81, $780,
600; 1t had about II, 900 depositors, most of
whom had entrusted the whole of their
very moderate fortunes to its keeping. The
statement which the President laid before
the stockholders and which was rejected as
too indefinite, showed that the banks lia :.
bilities were, in round numbers, $l,4OO,-
600; its assets, 81 ,505, 900.
"But," said prominent fnancier to the
correspondent of the "Bulletin,'. "those
assets were quoted at their full face value,
whereas, know that some of them cannet
be placed on the market at more than six
per cent, and q great many are worth
from that down to nothing. Why 1t stands
to reason," he continued, "that those as
sets must be worthless" Twenty thousand
dollars in cash would have carried the bank
safely over it's crisis and If those securities
were what they ought to be Mr.. Huntizinger,
with his long experience and reputation,
could have jumped into the 4.3O train, that
afternoon, gone to Philadelphia, and had a
carload Of money here by noon next day.
He could have had half million dollars
here in twelve hours.
This is the general impression among
business meR here, and the difficulty ex-
perieaced in getting ct an itemized state
