THE PROPOSED NEW PARTY.

\ number of disappointed politicians, in
order to achieve power aud ride into Office,
have conceived the idea of forming new
party to be called thee"N Nationals," to be
composed of men of all politics, creeds and
classes who are soreheaded. These sporadic
parties are not unusual. We need only re-
fer to the Know Nothing movement of
1921, which had brief existence and
died natural death.
The Democratic party has stood the
wrecks OF time. and survived the passions
sugeudered by the late war. 1t elected Til
den IA President by over quarter of a mil
lion maiority-has elected two Congresses
in succession-in year will have majority
in the Seuate--and has control of three
fourths of the States.
II is bad time to desert when in posses
sion of the field, and certain of future victo-
ries. The enemy is completely demoralized
aud even at variance with the man they pre-
tend to have elected President. Of course
it is their policy to divide the Democrats,
but in this they will fail. We tried the fol-
ly of running after strange gods when we
surrendered to the G 'eeley movement in
1872, and got whipped, as we deserved.
The Democratic party has saved the ma
tion in many crisis. Even under the
much abused Buchanan, times were good
and the country more prosperous than it has
been since. The accession of Democratic
Congress in 1875 saved the nation $40, ,000,-
900 year with an adverse Senate and Pres
ident, besides bringing criminal officials to
punishment, and exposing corruption in
high places.
We therefore warn Democrats against he
Ing led into new party, controlled as it il
by demagogues who will sell them out OIL
the first occasion.

Mr.. Ross Lecture.
HE TELLS BOSTON AUDIENCE ALL ABOUT
HIS LOST CHILD.


Christian X. Ross delivered lecture on
the story of his lost son and his endeavors
to find him at Boston before an audience
filling about half the house. Mr.. Ross was
presented to the audience by the Hon. j. B.
d. Cogswell, President Of the Senate, and
there were also on the platform Lieutenant
Governor X night, the Hon. lilly Haynes
and several other members of the Executive
Council. The lecturer was very cordially
received. He narrated the circumstances of
the abduction, gave general account of the
efforts to trace the kidnappers, read extracts
from the correspondence with them and f.
nally alluded briefly to the violent death of
Mosher and his associate, the confessed alb
ductors. Since their death, he said, al
though he had continued the search unre-
mttingly, no information OF Charles where
abouts had been obtained. He believed the
boy to be alive, but whether alive or dead
he intended to seek him until he knew. Mr..
Ross announced at the beginning of his lec-
ture his belief that il was the design of the
kidnappers, in case they were successful in
extorting ransom for Charlie, to make a
regular business of such a trade in human
life. Nearly every letter from the thieves
contained evidence of such design. Hay
ing this conviction he refused for a long
time to compromise with them, feeling that
to do SO would expose every mans family tc
the same terrible danger. 1t seems, how.
ever, at last he entered into an agreement Il
pay a certain sum of money, in considera
tion of which his boy was to be restored
The arrangement was that he should taxi
an express train leaving Philadelphia 70
New York at midnight, and on arriving a
New York take Hudson River Railroa'
train and ride to Albany. During the rail
road ride he was to stand on the rear plat
form of the last car, with the money in
yalise, and when he saw man on the tracl
making a certain signal he was to throw O
the valise. He took the trip, but saw n
signal, and vas afterwaId informed in let
ter from the kidnappers that, seeing news
paper report that he had gone elsewhere 4
see boy said to be Charlie Ross. they ha'
not set their agent for the money.

The cutest of all tricks played by that
prescient official, the Sergeant-at-Arm of
the lower h.use of the Legislature, see ms to
have been shamefully put upon Judges
Pershing and Walker and ex-Judge Green,
of Schuylkill county. According to the
Pottsville Chronicle, these gentlemen, hav-
ing gone to Harrisburg to give their testi.
mony in the Fowler. Felthof case, they de-
manded their fees and mileage. 1t was not
so much that they needed the money as it
was because they did not want to leave it in
the hands OF the official as temptation.
The Sergeant-at.Arms said he would meet
them at their hotel and named an hour. He
did not go. He sent messenger to say that
he would certainly see them at the depot
before the departure of their train, and be-
ing simple. minded judges instead of willy
sergeants-at- t-arms, they went to the depot,
and Of course Gaines didn't turn up. The
Judges went home, and the gay official of
the House has no doubt had great deal OF
fun with himself when he thinks how h e
come it over three of Schuylkill's leading
citizens. 1t always does a playful man OF
Luzerne good to get ahead of an innocent
man of Schuylkill; it is matter of county
pride, purely.-Tmes.

It is now almost certain that war will soon
take place between England and Austria on
one side, and Russia on the other. The
British Government is already buying
horses aud supplies in this country. Whilst
war is to be deprecated it cannot be denied
that the event would prove beneficial to our
country by making an increased demand for
our products. In this way England profted
by our late war.

IBIAN AND DEMOCRAT OOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA
An Extraordinary Sentence BY q Judge.

The, following extract is taken from sem
tcnce recently pronounced by Judge Reading,
of Chicago, upon the liquor dealers who have
violated the Law by selling to minors. 1t will
pay a careful peru'al.
"By the law you may sell it to men and
women, il they will buy. You have given
your bond and paid your license to sell to
them, and no one has right to molest you
in your legal business. No matter what the
consequences may be, no matter what power
ty and destruction are produced by your sell
ling according to law, you have paid your
money for this privilege and you are licensed
to pursue your calling. No matter what fam
lilies are distracted and rendered miserable
no matter what wives are treated with vio-
ence what children starve or mourn over
the degradation VI a parcnt-your business is
legalized, and no one may interfere with you
for it. No matter what mother may agonize
over the loss of son, or sister blush at the
shame of brother, you have a right to dsre-
gard them all and pursue your legal calling
you are licensed. You may fit up your law
full place of business in the most enticing aud
captivating form you may furnish 1t
with the most costly and elegant
equipments for your own lawful trade
you may fill it with the alluremcnts of amuse
ment you may use all arts to allure visitors
you may skillfully arrange and expose to
view your choicest wines and captivating bev-
erages you may induce thirst by all contri-
vances to produce raging appetite for drinks
and then you supply that appetite to the full
because it is lawful you have paid for it
you have a license You may allow boys and
children to frequent your saloon they may
witness the apparent satisfaction with which
their seniors quaff the sparkling glass you
may be schooling and training them for the
period of tweuty-one, when they too, can par
tcipate, for all this is lawful. You may
hold the cup to their lips, but you must not
let them drink-that is unlawful. For,while
you have all these privileges for the money
you pay, this poor privilege of selling to chill
dren is denied you. Here parents have the
right to say, Leave my son to me until the
law gives you a right to destroy him. DO
not anticipate that terrible moment when l
can assert for him no further rights Of pro-
lection. That will be soon enough for me,
for his sister, for his mother, for his friends,
for the community, to see him take the road
to DEATH Give him to us in his childhood at
least. Let us have few hours Of his youth
in which we can enjoy his innocence, to re-
pay us in some small degree for the care and
love we have lavished upon him."
This is something which you who now
stand prisoners at the bar have not paid for; ;
this is not embraced in your license. For
this offence the court sentences you to ten
days imprisonment in the county Jail, and
that you pay fine Of s75 and costs and that
you stand committed until the fine and costs
of this prosecution are paid"

very great and important changes. The
sound Of axe. hammer aud other tools Of
