But in spite of the thousands of venal
voters who are expected to sell them
selves to the Cameron machine, the
overwhelming defeat of the ring cannot
be doubted. A vast majority of the
people of the Keystone state have suffi-
cient honesty and patriotism to con-
demn the faction whose main reliance
in the present struggle is fraud-(and no
intelligent man needs 80 be told that q
purchased vote is morally and legally
as fraudulent as vote gained by false
counting or one cast by repeater. If
a majority Of the people are ready to
sanction the use of money for corrup.
ting the ballot then republican govern
ment in this state has practically caes
ed to exist. To indorse bribery as
legitimate is to make the servants of the
people their masters is to give the
party in power the right to perpetuate
its rule by buying up the voters at each
recurring election with the money taken
from them by taxation. We have too
much faith in the integrity and intelli
gence of the people to believe that,with
their eyes open to the facts-and the
facts will be SO present before the cam
paign closes that every elector can un.
destand them-they will deliberately
vote to make themselves the perpetual
chattels of the Cameron machine

Democracy aud Labor.

The "red-headed and hopeful editor
Of the Scranton Republican, was red
headed and unworthy of himself or his
reputation as a usually fair man." when
in yesterdays issue he adopted the
Lancaster Examiners Interpretation of
a circular issued recently 10y Chairman
Hensel
The Examiner is one of the vilest par.
tsan sheets in the country. Its col.
umns give daily evidence of the utter
lack, on the part of its editors, of re-
Spect for truth, and of their willingness
at all times to falsify the plainest and
most notorious facts with the hope of
reaping partisan advantage.
Mr.. Hensel has issued no circular any
part OF which can be construed TO mean
that nice Democrats are to get all the
offices and that the workingmen are to
be recognized by letting them do the
working and voting" lie entertains
no such views of the rights and duties
OF the workingmen. On the contrary,
as the lies of the paper he edits amply
attest, he has always been the ardent
friend OF the men who toll. lie has
c9unseled them at all times to their adj.
vantage. He has encouraged their every
effort TO improve their condition and in.
crease their rewards.
And, better yet, he is the wisely.
chosen manager in the pending cam
paign, of party which was born in the
necessity for the protection of the com.
mon people against centralized power
in the hands of the few: whose founder
was common man, living with common
men, and fighting always for the rights
of common men; and every act of
whose history, being legitimately Demo.
cratic, has been in the direction of
securing greater privileges to labor
through unremitting opposition to cen.
tralzatlou and monopoly in all its
forms. Among all the political organi.
zitlons the country has ever had, the
Democratic party has been the only
constant and untiring advocate and
defender of the people as against the
erich and well born" In Hamlton's
servile fealty TO the latter both the old.
time Federal party and the present
day Republican party had their origin.
The circular which Mr.. Hensel sent
out and which the Eraminor and the
Scranton Republican commented upon,
urged the following points:
81. The Importance of irreproacha6le
local nominations.
"2. The recognition OF working men
in the details of organization, local nom.
nations, meetings, clubs, etc, - Wilkes

The party which is responsible for
this extravaganza has already begun to
make voluminous explanations, in the
vain hope Of beclouding the matter and
making fiction play the part Of truth.
But truth like murder "will out" and
the people justly murmur at this out.
rageous raid upon the treasury. The
majority had the power to shape the re.
cord of congress. 1t could have pre-
vented this assault upon the treasury
had it seen ft. lt chose rather to per
nit the qualification of personal aims
than to protect the interests Of the
public. There is no earthly excuse for
instance for the increase of over seven
millions in the appropriation for rivers
and harbors, for there is an uncxpended
balance of four millions of last years
appropriation for that purpose. But it
IS useless for the people to murmur.
They must act. Members OF congress
are public servants and when they fail
in their duty their places should be
filled by more competent and faithful
men. The majority should be held re.
sponsible politically and the recreant
members of the minority personally for
the sins of this disreputable congress.
Let the people prepare to record a Just
and memorable verdict at the ballot

A Bold Thief.

On Saturday evening, while the hands
of the San Antonio transfer company
We're being paid off at the Office Of
Messrs. Froboese & Santleben, on
Houston street, a bold theft was com.
mitted. Two horses, saddled, were
tied TO- the post in front Of the Office
shortly after the men we're paid off it
was discovered that one of the horses
were gone, and in its place was a
broken-down scrub Of a pony. The
thief had taken time to remove the
saddle, which was boys saddle, from
the horse he took and put his own on.
He left a long rope and bride on the
scrub. The fellow is evidently going
somewhere in a hurry, and while pass
ing along the street saw better pony
than the one he was riding, and simply
exchanged.

THERE is big difference between
no-rent in Ireland and no-rent in Tex.
as.-1'he truth is, no such conditions
exist here as exist in Ireland, and we
can't draw comparison between the
Irish tenant and the tenant who takes
a Texas farm on shares. The Texas
tenant gives a share of the crop; if he
makes good crop the landlord gets a
good q or Il, as the case may be,
but if he makes no crop, he pays no
rent, but the Irish tenant pays rent,
crop or no crop, for the use of land
that should belong to him by right and
by occupation.

tee during the Partisan electrical con-
gress, patrons of the drama will hence
forth be able to see as we'll as hear
their favorite operate and histrionic
artists without moving a yard from

small collective" lens, fixed in a po-
sition commanding the stage of some
theatre, and connected by an electric
wire with diminutive white glass
plate, which may be framed and set in
the panel of a private drawing-room,
however distant from the playhouse
in question. Total darkness having
been obtained in the room furnished
with a dioscope, a perfect picture of
the stage, its scenery, actors, and SO
forth, faithful in color and absolutely
reproducing the whole performance,
will become visible upon the surface of
the glass plate. Supplemented by a
telephone communicating with the
theatre, the dioscope will therefore en-.
able its owner to spend his evening at
the opera in dressing-gown and slip
pers, seated at home in an easy chair.

Accident On the sunset.

Yesterday the Houston train was de-
layed several hours by running off the
track. 1t seems that about four miles
from San Antonio the rain had under.
mined a sleeper, and this, combined
with the greasy state ofthe rails, caused
the train to leave the track. Several
persons were bruised, but none are
seriously injured. Some damage was,
however, done to the stock. The pas
sengers came on with tender late last
evening.

VOlksfest.

The next annual volksfest is to be
held in our city, and as preliminary
step the several singing associations
and German societies had a meeting at
the Turner hall yesterday to discuss
the matter. The following committee
was appointed to take such measures
as were necessary to inaugurate the
event: Messrs. Hadra, Mauermann,
Lassner, Hoefling and Rosenheimer.
The time will also be settled upon.
The volksfest has become most i'm
portant event, and in Galveston and
Houston, where they have been very
successfully held, German exclusive
ness has been abandoned and other
classes freely invited to take a hand.
San Antonio should eclipse its sister
cities in its preparations for the volks-
fest, and while our German population
is both large and affluent, it should be
no reason why our entire community
should not have a pride in the reception
and entertainment of our guests from
all parts of the state.
The lack of an ample hall. makes it
necessary to erect pavilion, and no
doubt this will be done.

Bithynia. But this enchantment van
ishes as soon as we penetrate into the
streets of Constantinople. There are
many parts of the town with
narrow and filthy streets, which
a stranger hesitates to enter.
1t is perhaps a blessing, from
a sanitary point of view, the confagra-
tons so frequently lay waste and scouri

purified by the flames. But formerly,
before the Turks had built their city Of
stone on the heights of Pera, the quar-
tiers detroyed by fire were rebuilt as
wretchedly as they were before. 1t is
different now. The use of stone has
become more general; wooden struc-
lures are being replaced by houses
built of a fossiliferous white limestone
which is quarried at the very gates of
the city; and free use is made Of the

About Headaches.
rom the Medical Press snd Circular.


The approach of the winter season
will, with large number of people, be
inaugural of a recurrent headache, for
which they are unable to account at all
satisfactorily, but which experience has
taught them to expect as surely as
fires and "snugness" are rendered ne
cessary to personal comfort. 1t would
be well if all such sufferers were to un-
derstand the rationale of the complaint
that periodically attacks them, and be
wise in time to ward off the return of
their old malady. In every case where
the headache is'not dependent on some
organic disturbance, and when it is felt
only during the colder months of the
year, especially in large towns, it is UNI
doubleday due to the vitiated atmos-
phere of rooms lighted by gas, and
rendered "snug" by close-drawn cur
tains and draught.excluding doors,
while a brilliant fire is maintained for
heating purposes. The latter is, in
deed, the only preventive under the
circumstances of an absolutely poison
Gus condition of the air, which is very
seriously contaminated wherever gas
light is employed for Illumination.
Careful observations of the effects
gradually produced by prolonged con-
tinuance in such an apartment, will re.
veal the fact that a feeling of oppres-
sion, becoming gradually more intense,
steals over one, and in an increased
degree accordingly as the number of
occupants in the room is added to.
The air becomes thus heavily laden
with carbonic acid, the products of
combustion of the gas and of the hui
man tissues; failing any free ventila-
ton, this rapidly accumulates, an in
significant amount alone finding exit
by the chimney, and acting on the ner-
vous systems of those using the room,
induces cerebral congestion that re-
suits in serious disturbances, which are
relieved only after a more or less pain
full period of indisposition. The reme-
dy for the evil is an efficient and con-
slant ventilation "a necessity that
every householder should see is secured
in all the rooms of his dwelling, before
they are transformed into winter habi-
tations.
