Phe Future of the Party.

Much has been sad, since the
election, on the subject of unity and
harmony in the Republican party.
the necessity therefor. and the best
method of bringing about that con-
summation. Most of the u~tterances
on this subject come from those who
actively helped along the independ-
ent racket, or sympathized more or
less openly with it. The anxiety ior
unity and harmony, now manifested
in those quarters, seems wholly un-
necessary, if the view insisted on by
the Independents, during the cam
paign. was well founded. A great
deal of rhetoric was employed by
independent bosses, orators and or
gans. 10 assuring Republicans that
the loss of the State need not cause
the least anxiety 2s to the future.
but that Republican defeat would
have the instant effect of producing
"a purified and united party" in
yincible hereafter, while victory this
year would result in hopeless ruin.
they did pot explain by what hocus

ened party defeat would be healed
by the actual experience Of defeat.
Now that they set the party siiii

for some method whereby the ex-
ASPIRATION of those who have suffer
ed defeat may be neutralized by che
exultation of those who caused that

that will give the unity
and purity" which they predicted.
1t is quite proper that any anxiety
which the situation may tend to
create should be felt by the INDIE
pendents alone. The regulars have
nothing to do but to wait, with the
utmost peace of mind, for the saliva
ton which the Independents prom
ised the party as the consequence of
its defeat.
Among the Independents who
have discussed the situation is SEN
ator Mitchell. In response to the
question whether he considered the
Independent battle won, he said.
That depends. 1.-THE party man

must r~elinquish their hold upon the

A Horrible

EAsToN, Pa, Dec. 6.-Since Sat
urday last there has been great ex-
citement at Newton, Sussex county,
n. J., over a horrible crime alleged
to have been committed in that
vicinity the day or night before. At
a certain spot several citizens discov-
cred newly made ground. Curiosity
led them to remove the loose earth,
and a short distance below the sur-
face they found a bag containingth the
entrails of a dog. Digging down
further they found the carcass of a
dog with the dead body of "a child
inside. Efforts are now being made
To find the perpetrators of the crime

Then We shake hands, and women

In old times the English speaking

long ago men as well as women

American men now consider such "A
salutation as absurd between persons
of their own sex.
Frenchmen, however, are not
ashamed to kiss as they ask, How

as they cry How do you find your

The Italian goes both airy clasp

Saving Liquid Manure.

1t is a matter of great surprise
that so many farmers allow the Ii
quid contents of their barn yards to
be washed away into creeks and riv-
ers, instead of saving and utilizing
it in fertilizing their land. MOI
will it ever be otherwise until proper
meals are taken TO prevent it. There
certainly would be no great trouble
in doing so. All that is necessary is
to dig a round pit or cistern of suf-
icient size justoutside the barnyard,
and walling 1t up with stone, firmly
imbedded in cement mortar to make
it water tight. A trench, or sort of
blind ditch, about a foot III depth
the sides of which to be also walled
with stone-should then be dug all
along the lower side of the yard,
close inside the fence, for the pur-
pose of conducting the liquid from
the yard to the cistern, from which
it is to be pumped or emptied as
needed into a Eve barrel cask, plac-
ed in the hind end of a wagon, to
be hauled to wherever wanted. A
hole should have been previously
bored into the cask near its lower
heading, from which there. should
extend a piece of rubber hose to
connect it with a distributor sus-
pended from the rear end of the
wagon by means of iron rods, the
distributor to be made of four-inch
pump stock, five feet in length.
closed at both ends, and perforated
with quarter inch holes at short in
tervals the whole length of the bot
tom, for the purpose of. distributing
the liquid over the land. With such
a simple fix it is an easy matter to
distribute the liquid as fast as ac-
cumulated, and it is particularly
beneficial to grass land at any time
when the grass is not large enough
20 be injured by peing driven over.
By this means, and by carefully
saving and utilizing all other manu-
rial material found on the premises,
we verify believe that on a majority
of farms the most of the money now
being spent in the purchase of fertil-
izers could be saved.

Annie Lydon's Fearful Leap.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. Tonight,
about 8 o'clock, an Irish girl, 19
years of age, named Annie Lydon,
threw herself from a fourth story
window ofthe house No. IS Diamond
street. When picked up both limbs
were bent backwards until her heels
touched her head. She was fright
fully injured and will die within
twenty-four hours. She came to
this city from Scranton. Pa, about
six months ago and has been living
as a domestic at various hotels and
residences in the city. At her last
place she was accused of having
stolen some goods from the store OF
her employer. She confessed to
having committed the theft, but gave
z reason that her mistress was
aod she vas poor. Dreading
she hurriedly packed her
iato a small bundle tonight
and leaped from the window to the
cobbIe-stones, forty feet below. She
has an aunt and sister in this city.

Then Senator Mitchell is by no
means positive that the defeat of the
party has been the defeat of the
machine leaders" A more serious
matter, however, is the total helpless
ness on the part of the people which
is assumedin his view of the matter.
If these machine leaders go on reck-
less of the protest made at the polls"
if they refuse to surrender, and to
"relinquish their hold on the throat
of the partyn-whatever that may
mean-there is a very dark outlook
for the party; because, in Senator
Mitchell's view, the people are pow
erless to do anything TO mend mat
tiers except by a protest at the polls"
in the shape ola party defeat.
1t is hard to imagine "A view of the
matter marked with more striking
~imbecility. If the people canno
influence party management except
by political hari-kari at the polls,
there is an end of popular rule, and
nothing is left but machine rule by
party, bosses. Defeat at the polls
may take power from n boss, but
only to transfer it to another.
The fact is. Senator Mitchell
mistakes the real nature Of the
situation and of It's requirements.
The people have, and have bad
from the beginning, full power
to control party management and
to depose obnoxious n incapa-
BILE leaders, without a sacrifice OF
party success. Popular rule does
not depend in the least on the dis
position of machine leaders 10"
unload themselves" or TO "relin-
quish their hold on the throat of the
party" The people have not to wait
for any action by these leaders.
They can govern absolutely, with
in the party. if they will only
do the work of governing. If the
people will not do this work, a
surrender of the bosses" has no
meaning, and a"protest at the polls"
will avail nothing in advancing
popular rule. Bad party manage
ment may result in party defeat or
destruction; but the party will never
theless be governed by those who do
the work of governing. This work,
to be effective, must be done at the
primaries. At the polls, the people
govern only in a secondary sense;
they can do no more than record
their approval or disapproval of the
work growing out of the primaries.
If the people will do this work, boss
rule" falls at once. If they will not
do it. it will be done by bosses or
demagogues. The only thing that
seems clear is, that the Indepen-
dents have gained nothing by the
defeat of the party, unless 1t has
awakened the people to the duty
and necessity Of commencing the
work of party government and puri-
fcation at the primaries Honesdate

Hogs Poisoned in Berks County.


Great excitement prevails in the
neighborhood of the farm of Levi,
Adam, near Eagle Point, Maxatawny
township, Berks county. A few days
ago eight of Mr.. Adams hogs were
suddenly taken sick and three of
them died. The hog feed, consisting
of chop, was examined and in it was
found a number of small balls of
dough. These balls were found to
contain large quantities of arsenic.
Mr.. Adam made further search and
found many similar balls mixed
among his rye and other grain. The
remaining hogs will die. There is
no clue to the culprit.
