THE CHOICE.

As the Hartford COurdnt well puts it, all minor questions aside the choice is just this
 Between a man thoroughly versed in pub lie affairs, thoroughly sound, thoroughly competent to handle as Q broad minded statesman all questions of domestic and for eign policy and man without experience in civil affairs, and painfully deficient in comprehension of the great questions of public economy.
 Between party, whatever criticism may be made upon some of its members and some of it's measures in an exciting period of twenty years, with new and difficult problems on the side of liberty and fair play for all men, and that has done magnificent work, and lifted nation out of civil war and finan- cial peril and the pity if not contempt of half the world into prosperity and the profound respect of every people on the globe and another party that has opposed every one of the measures that have made the country united and great that was the hope of rebels for years and is to-day the reliance of those lately in rebellion to regain power.
 Between party that is pledged by it's his tory, Dy US platrorms, Dy US very nature, to keep straight on in it's attempt to realize free democratic ballot in all the States, to reduce the debt, to elevate the public credit, to develop home industries and a party equally pledged by it's history and very na- ture to sustain the undemoeratic tyranny over the ballot in the souths and which to- day allies itself with every sort of discontent and vicious theory solid south pretension soft money, attacks our national credit and industry, by war on the banks and by rev. enue tariff schemes and promises every

They were absent two months and on their return found all their patients had recovered, the drug stores had closed, the nurses had opened dancing schools, the cemetery had been cut up into building lots the under takers had gone to make fiddles and the hearse had been painted and sold as a circus wagon.
 From the grave Journal des De5ats
 An aneodote, few known, upon J. J. Smith, who comes to die at New York, and who was the King of reporters Americans:
 Tt was at the obsequies of the General Barker. The Government had wished to play trick Smith and had not accorded him card for the ceremony Smith found means to penetrate by the chimney in the chamber mortuary and to file himself among the assistants
 The clergyman had deposed his hat on furniture. In that hat was finding himself roll of paper. Smith seized it and constated with joy that 1t was the discourse which the minister Protestant was to read upon the tomb.
 ''When the clergyman wished to pronounce the funeral adieu he sought his roll, and not finding it saw himself forced to improvise an allocution.
 During this time the journal appeared and gave the text exact and authentic of the dis course which his able reporter had sent him." Neac Y0rk World

 Business men and others who have special interest in the success of the Republican party should be found to-day doing active work for the Republican candidates. It is neglect of duty to leave the polls to be sur rounded almost exclusively by profession also. It is the citizens business, and they should attend to it. Let the men who have something at stake in the prosperity of the country show their appreciation of it by doing active volunteer service to-day. The best days work that can be done by any business man today is to exert his influence, whatever it may be- to secure the continuance of those conditions which have brought about the present prosperity and confidence. His pres ence at the polls is highly important ser vice. The example of his interest is infu- ential and he may have more powerful in- fuence still by improving opportunities to assist the doubtful and the wavering to make right choice.

w. P. Le. .chworth of New York, who is exploring the poverty and public charitiesRof Europe, writes that a Mormon emigration from some parts of Europe is going forward under direction of the travelling agents of the Utah Mormons He adds that when he was in Copenhagen on the 29th of August he saw 300 fresh converts embark a steamer for Hull en route to America; men, women and children were huddled indiscriminately to- gether for two-days trip under quite objec- tionable conditions. They appeared in the main like respectable, well-to-do' persons, and one could not but feel sympathy for them. Nearly all of these deluded people were from Sweden. On the 2d of August Mormon agent who was carrying on his work in Prus- sia telegraphed from Keil to the American consul at Hamburg that he had been ordered to leave the country forthwith and asked protection as an American citizen. The mat ter having been referred to Minister White at Berlin, it was by his direction investigated, but he wisely decided not to interfere. Should the other governments of Europe adopt the course pursued by Prussia, immigration from this source would be greatly retarded, if not altogether suppressed.

An interesting fact may be pointed to in illustration of the fact that Great Britain would like to murder our industries in order to get all the business and profit of manufac- turing into her own hands. At Manchester, England, they found out that the natives of India were starting cotton factories in order to make their own cotton cloth and give their own people remuneratiye employment To get their business established on good basis, they put small import duty on the British goods. The Manchester folks were so angry at this that they induced the government at London to force the East India government to repeal this duty, and in addition, to i'm pose duty on the raw cotton imported from Egypt. This increased the cost ofproducing goods in India by domestic labor, and cheap ened Manchester goods. This has had the effect of crushing out the young and prom ising cotton manufacturing industry of India. England wants to do the same by the United States.

The results in every northern State in which an election has been held this year are encouraging to the Republicans. Rhode Island led of in April with a complete vic- tory and increased the Republican majorities on part of the State ticket by nearly 4,OO0 votes. Oregon followed in June with still better results, changing Democratic major ity of 1,15O for Representative in Congress in 1878 to Republican majority of 1897. Vermont continued the cheering story by clear gain of 7,622 on the large Republican majority for Governor last year, and the bringing back into the Republican fold of its third Representative inA Congress. Even in Maine, notwithstanding the seeming check to the cause, an opposition majority of 592 last year was nearly, if not entirely, wiped out, and the lower house of the Legislature was redeemed. Then followed the glorious and complete victories in Ohio and Indiana, where, to say nothing of the great gain in Congress men, the one State increased it's Republican majority of 3, 352 of year ago to an average majority of p, 900, and the other changed an adverse majority of fl, 113 in 1878 to Re- publican majority of nearly 1000.

MT. Thomas H. Dudley, formerly United States consul at Liverpool, has taken the trouble to demolish the arguments contained in MT. Augustus Mongredien's appeal to the western farmer of America. Mir. Dudley convicts the pamphleteer of having played fast and loose with figures, Mir. Mongredien asserting among other things, that America contains ''seven million farmers, nearly all of whom have families" while the census which he uses reports but 2,659, 985 farms in all. Mir. Mongredien, in other words, places near ly three farmers together with their families on every farm in the country. And for what purpose? In order to induce America to adopt free trade. MT. Dudley then proceeds to show that America has done very well un- der it's tariff system, that England has comparatively higher tariff than we havep that is to say, every person in England pays on the average higher sum of money for imports than is the case here and that the English tariff discriminates against the poor, while the American tariff simply protects American labor.

A few days ago q representative of
the Times and Dispatch paid visit to
the geological wonder known as the
Ringing Rocks, in Montgomery County.
Ringing Hill, as the people there call
the eminence on which the celebrated
rocks are found, is on the farm of
Abraham Mench, in Pottsgrove Town
ship. three rules northeast of Pottstown.
The ringing rocks cover a space of
about three-quarters of an acre. In
this tract powders are piled upon
powders Of all shapes and forms, and
SO prOmiscuously arranged that con-
ciderable agility is required to walk
over them without falling. As one steps
from rock to rock, q ringing sound,
produced by the nails in the boot-heels,
is plainly heard. On rapping the stones
with hammer, quite remarkable
acoustic properties are revealed. Some
of them give forth a rich, full tone
which would probably vie with the best

into bells. One of them in particular,
from its depth of tone, is known rs the
State House bell. This was at one
time among the largest Of the rocks.

WashingtOn,s Bible.

OLD CHRIST CHURCH, Alexandria, is
in possession of the family Bible of Cen
eral Washington. His name is written
therein by himself: George WASH
ington, Mount Vernon, 1894" On the
same leaf appears: presented to the
Vestry of Christ Church, Fairfax Par
ish, by George Washington Parke Gus
tis, April 6, 1904 And then follows,
in Mr.. Custis' handwriting: "The
Family Bible of George Washington,
used at Mount Vernon" Application
was made to the vestry, on behalf of
the Mount Vernon Association. to pur-
chase this Bible, to be kept at Mount
Vernon. The church being in debt,
and this valuable and interesting relic
not being very safe in the church build
ing, the vestry were disposed to listen
to the proposition. This led to some
discussion in the Alexandria Gazette.
.In their financial needs, caused by
the repair of the building, which even
now is suffering through lack of funds,
the proposition to buy the Bible for the
Mount Vernon Association was pre-
sented to the vestry by request. Ne
cessity, and no desire to remove the an
cient landmark, caused the favorable
consideration of the proposition" The
facts are, that during the past five years
the small and by no means wealthy
congregation, of the church has ex-
pended in necessary improvements and
repairs sum amounting to nearly $1O,.
600, all of which has been paid except
the present debt of about 81 900. After
such a heavy expenditure the payment
of this debt bears heavily upon the con.
gregation, and they are very anxious il
should be discharged, and speedily
