The whistle screeched, the bell rang,
a headlight like the eye of some gi-
gantic ghoul, bIazed through the black
mist, and then, with roaring, a rum
bling, and a rafting, the locomotive,
putting, steaning and quivering like
some tanned, sentient monster, stopped
before the depot
The depot at Quarry Falls was
neither an ornate nor a cOmmodious
structure, with It's dark, roofess plat
form and uncomfortable, umcleanly
waiting-room.
Through the chilly drizzle a few
passengers left the evening express,
that hurriedly thundcred away into
the dreary darkness of the autumn
night. Among these passengers was
a young woman, clothed from head to
foot in big, black, ugly, hooded in
| dia-rubber cloak. She was all alone
and evidently an utter stranger in the
town. Evidently, too, . she wished
not to be noticed, for she quickly stepp-
ed into the shadow beside huge pile
of freight, and stood there quietly un-
til the stages had gone and the plat
form was again quite deserted.
| Undoubtedly she was unaware that
that to be profoundly observed one ha.
only to seem to avoid observation. Al
it was, not few glances, sinister anc
suspicious, followed her as she at las
rapidly walked up through the street
sombre, solitary figure, throug tn,
pittiless rain.
! Perhaps she was too proud and shy
to enquire her way. Perhaps she be
lieved that her intuition would safel,
guide her. Perhaps she was pennies
in that city of strangers, and knew no
!. whittier she was going, and cared Onl
to find some lonely covert where sh,
could safely creep away and rest il
her desolation.
However it might have been, sh
suddenly turned a corner, and saw bt

THE INTUITION OF SUCCESS

Every old soldier will tell you that
when marching to battle he instinct.
lively felt what the result was to be.
There is mysterious relationship ex.
isting between men and the future un.
der such circumstances, that seems to
acquaint them with the results that
are TO follow. Just now we find that
the great army of Democrats is march.
ing forward with songs on their lips,
joy IN their faces and hope in their
hearts. Something is telling them that
a glorious triumph is ahead. 1t is the
intuition Of success that inspires and
the prophetic sign of victory that ami.
mates. Hence we find no iatering in
the lines anywhere, no skulking, no
cowardice. Every man in the ranks
has his eye upon the banners in front
and he means that those banners shall
be placed upon the crumbling walls OF
Radicalism next month. This it is that
encourages the stalwart Democracy in
this city, and throughout the country,
to an earnest prosecution of the work
in hand. In town we see the beautiful
banners of the Democracy flung to the
breezes everywhere and nightly there
assemble enthusiastic masses to listen
to encouraging speeches and to shout
and cheer for Hancock and English.
This is the kind Of a campaign that
tells. We have not for many years
seen such q unanimous desire on the
part of the Democracy to take hand
in the preliminary skirmishes OF the
great battle that is to be fought on the
second day of next month. Old men,
middle aged men and young men are
pressing forward daily to join our
ranks. Thousands, and especially of
the young men, feel assured that the
Democrats are to win, and naturally
enough they desire to share in the
glorious ratfcations that will follow
the election, And, too, for the man
who casts his first vote, there is a
decided satisfaction in feeling after.
wards that he cast that vote for the
candidate who conquered victory.
Hancock will be that candidate. As
he led the Union armies TO victory at
Gettysburg, so will be lead the Demo.
cratic armies to victory next month.
Vote then for Hancock and harmony,
victory and prosperity Wilkes Barre

THE CAR YER.

The editor of the New York Times
in disquisition on dinners takes the
part of "the carver" in this way:
"The misery Of habitual carving can
hardly be exaggerated. The man who
come home tired from his days work,
sits down to dinner, needs a quiet and
easy meal. Instead of having this, be
is compelled to undergo the labor OF
carving and to postpone his personal
dinner until his appetite has van
ished. 1t is no small labor to carve
for family, say of six persons. The
joints of spring chicken are appar.
emily made of combination of steel
and India rubber, and can neither be
cut nor dragged apart while the roast
beef toughened by long years of ser.
vice in the shape of an OK, requires
more strength OF wrist on the part of
the carver than would suffice to saw n
twelve.inch log, When at last the
work of carving is done the delicate
and difficult duty Of "helping" begins.
There can be no peace of mind for tho
man who helps his family or occasional
guest TO any food except soup or oys.
ters, both OF which can be accurately
and fairly divided. In the case of
chicken he can never give satisfaction.
There is no rule in this mater beyond
that of giving the chicken legs TO the
boys, which can be followed. To ask
people what part of the chicken they
prefer is simply madness. Either
everybody will tell the truth and dc.
mand the best cut in which case all
but one will be exasperated by failing

body will reply, "Any part" "It makes
no difference" or words 10 the same
mendacious and aggravating effect.
OF course when the man who says
at makes no difference is helped to
anything but the breast he becomes
the enemy OF the carver for life, and
nothing can disabuse him of tho i'm
preston that he has been wantonly in.
suited. 1t is far better to boldly help
people without making any pretense
of consulting their wishes. They will
regard the carver as a rude and care.
less host but they will aquit him of
any intention to press open insults on
his guests.

" RIFF ron REVENUE'

The Washington Post, in abiding /,
this vexed question, states the cas-,
pretty plainly:
All the protection that any reasona
bic man ever thought Of asking ior
must be included in the "tariff io
revenue" to which the Democrat,
platform pledges the party.
For many years to come, for a Longer
period than either General Hancock
or General Garfield will live, we shal
be compelled to raise an immense reve
nuo from duties on imports.
To provide for the interest on The
public debt and for the gradual pay.
ment Of the principal, we must tax i'm
ports heavily, and in so doing we must
inevitably, protect manufactures to as
great an extent as any honest man will
claim is their due.
The Republican papers are filed
with vivid pictures Of the awful things
that must happen when the "Free
Trade plank" Of the Democratic plat.
form is carried out There is no Free
Trade plank in that platform, and
there is no politician, of any party, in
the United States, who does not know
that, however much he would like en-.
tire freedom from taxes on foreign
goods, there can be no such thing until
long after his life has ended.
There are gross wrongs in our pres.
ent tariff that ought to be righted.
There are evils that have been frankly
admitted to be such by General Gar.
field and every Republican in Congress.
There are imposts that rob the general
public for the enrichment of three or
four or half a dozen men. There are
provisions that compel ten million fami.
lies to contribute to the overflowing
Golfers of a few millionaires. There
are selfcvident, glaring and universally
admitted ontrages onshrined in the
tariff schedule, and no intelligent lie.
publican statesman will dare deny
their existence.
The Democratic theory of revenue
reform will sweep these out of exist
enco. 1t will work for the general
good, not tor the good of little squad
Of capitalists who iniest the lobby and
use arguments that convince a professed
revenue reiormer like General Garfield
that he must vote in their interest.
The most sensitive protectonist that
can be found, even in Pennsylvania,
need not fear free trade or any close
approximation to it, so long as we have
the National debt on our shoulders in
addition to the annual budget.

whether commanding large forces in
the field, or dealing with the difficult
questions incident to reconstruction in
the South, or IN restoring tranquility
to Pennsylvania, overrun by mobs and
disturbed by riots, he has always shown
the discrimination, discretion and tact
which point ont the man of executive
capacity. At least il may be said that
a stainless and successful career in the
army affords as many guarantees for
the faithful discharge of his functions

THE PANIC MANUFA CTURERS.

Within the past three weeks, it has
become fashion among the Radical
sneak thief politicians to tcrrorize and
rally "business men" to meetings in
Boston, Philadelphia, New York, and
other commercial cities, in order to
get up Garfield "boom." The wick
edness of this cheat is elaborated by
the Boston Post, in this way:
The Republican attempt to create a
panic is revelation, 1t is the last re-
sort of an expiring dynasty. 1t re.
veals a panic in its own ranks, and is
the best possible evidence that hope of
success by all honorable means had fed.
When the late Southern Confederacy
collapsed the departure of the officials
from Richmond was accompanied by
incendiary fires. Many OF the friends
of the lost cause were determined to
burn down the Capital which they
were no longer able to hold. This
well illustrates the conduct of the Re.
publican leaders today, The creators
OF this panic are public enemies, They
should be held up as such. If they
cannot retain possession ofthe Govern
ment, they prefer to see ruin and de.
vastation sweep over the land like a
whlrlwlnd' Are these the men to be
intrnsted with power longerF Their
very wickedness and desperation is
the strongest reasons Tor the people OF
all parties to rise up in their strength
and dlsperse them This destructive
policy was practiced on huge scale
by Nicholas Biddle, in his contest with
General Jackson.
"Old Hickory" threw himself into
the fight with all his will. lie and
his friends showed up the facts, and
nom these derived their most power

dynasty which bad arrayed ltseli
