Hensel Issues an Address.
The Promising Out-look--Timely
Words Of Interest to the People.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. l6.-Chairman
Hensel, of the democratic state COM
mittee, has issued the following ad.
dress
To the Democratic and Independ
ent Voters Of Pennsylvania l.: AS
the returns from the 0cto Der election
become more complete the magnitude
of the victory achieved by the friends
of good government is apparent. The
discontinue of our opponents is mani
fest. In Ohio the republican majority
is cut down to one half of that of the
corresponding election of 1880, and
the democrats have elected more than
half the congressional delegation.
In Virginia, where Blaine's henCh-
men had boasted that republican vic
tory was "a mere matter of finance, +"
the democrats have won an unprece-
denUed majority over a fusion of all
opposition. The elections thus far held
show republican losses aud democratic
gains in Alabama, Arkansas, Vermont,
Georgia, West Virginia and Ohio. In
Name alone by the greatest effort and
through the debauchery of the ballot
box, has Blaine been able to bring any
comfort to his party.
Whatever the republicans have secur-
ed for their candidate has been only by
the most desperate contest his party
ever made by the degradation of his
own candidacy and the prostitution Of
the civil service aud the expenditure of
vast sums of money, all concentrated
by turns OF single state. Henceforth
the enemies of administrative reform
must confront a different situation.
The battle lines are now formed on a
field that stretches across the entire
country. An harmonious and dggres-
sive organization in New York, lndi-
ana, New Jersey and Connecticut, as
sures the electoral votes of these states
for Cleveland and Hendricks, and Sc
cures their election beyond doubt. In
California, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Illinois and Massachusetts,, our
friends make hopeful battle.
1t remains for the democracy of
Pennsylvania and all the friends of
better public methods to strengthen
the cause by csaselesS efforts in our
own state. From this time until cleo
tion day the democrats and their allies
in Pennsylvania must be vigilant and
untiring to elect the electoral, con-
gressional, legislative and local tickets
which represent the couse of good gov
ernment. It's friends haveevery incen-
tive to push forward to the victory
which certainly awaits them on the 4th
of November.
Let there be 40 laggards in the
ranks. Forward along the whole line.
w. u. HENsEL,
Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee.

A Land Where There are no Elope-
mentS.

Elopements are not believed in In Lap
land, for if man marries maid with
out her parents consent the penalty is
death. When young man has formed
an attachment to female, the fashion
is to appoint their friends to meet, to
behold the young parties run race to-
gether. The maid is allowed in starting
the advantage of third part Of race,sO
that it is impossible, except willing of
herself, that she should be oyertaken.
II maid overruns her suitor the mat
ter is ended; he must never have her, it
being penal for the man to renew the
motion for marriage. But IL the virgin
has an affection for him though at first
she runs hard to try the truth of his
loye, she will(without Atlanta's golden
balls to retard her speedy pretend to
meet some casualty, and voluntarily
halt before she comes to the mark or
end of the race. Thus none are cOmpell-
ed to marry against their wishes, and
this is the cause thatln this poor cOun-
try the married people are richer in their
contentment than in other lands, where
so many forced matches make feignHd
love and cause real unhapplneSs.

The honeysuckle and madeira vine S
clustering about the old Barrymo re
farmhouse were full of bloom, and
the scented petals of tall cinnamon
rose-bush were dropping lightly on
Beulah's nut-brown curls, as she sat
on the south porch with a basket of
yellow September peaches beside her.
"Dicb is so fond of peaches and
cream" commented Buiah to herself,
as she peeled and sliced the ripe, gold
en-hued fruit "He shall have them
every day while they last"
Just then the sound of wagon-wheelS
was heard in the lane.
"What on airth is that Richards got
in the wagon ?" asked Mrs. Barrymore,
coming out on the porch just as the
wagon came in view. kin you make

Beulah shaded her eyes with her
hands and looked again.
TIT looks like a big box," she
said, doubtfully.
And so it was a big box, with a pi-
ano inside of it. There was another
box, also, filed with pictures, and a
trunk.
Richard drove up to the door.
"I'ye brought you present, Beu-
lah ~ he cried gaily. "The piano and
aud pictures we'll put in the parlor, and
this trunk I'll just carry up to your
ROOM" F."
And calling Sim, the hired man they
carried it up at once.
Beulah could only look her thanks,
and then ran upstairs to hide her tears.
Half an hour later she came dancing
down stairs, laughing and crying to-
gether.
ooh, Dick Oh, Aunt Laura ~ she
cried, hysterically. There was will
