ITO WHOM DO THE SPOlLS
BELONG ?"

Some of our contemporaries seem
to think that not to the victors do
they belong, but that they should be
given equally to the victims and the
victors. Strange indeed does such a
notion seem to US. In this age of
political strife some look forward to
what they imagine will be a glorious,
grand, inestimable day when the po-
litical lamb and lion shall lie down
together, when Republicans and
Democrats shall be equally as Iowa.
BILE, when political lines shall be
erased, when Democratic admins
tration can be run by those WAC love
and adopt the opposite principles,
| and when politics shall not be consi>
dered in the electio.. or appointment
of person to office. Truly imagin-
alton has no bounds. ITO the victors
belong. the spoils. now the Adj
Oance can scarcely conceive how that
can mean else than that the spells
are what We are to fight for. Per
haps 1t :orgets that at every election
there are spoils, and that they would
come even if you fought against
them. Don't you see that there are
spoils any way +? And since there
are spells, give them to the victors.
Don't you understand Spells you
can not abolish, then what must you
do with them The Advuuce seems
to think that you should divide and
give them to both parties, but the
DEMOCRAT says please give them t.
your friends, the victors. 1t may
be that our esteemed contemporary
has fallen IN line with the admins
tration, since ''great minds run in the
same channels In all political
contests, who are the victors !? They
are friends always. They are those
who aided in the overthrow of the
opposite party. They are those wht
love and support the principles which
the administration profess. The.
are always the majority-and TIT
majority shall rule. They are thos,
: who have striven for and demand
change. Well it is to these that W.
say every federal Office in the Unite,
: States shall be intrusted. If tn
people have decided that republican
principles shall predominant and Re
E publIcans shall rule, we say let it b

ladies were in tears. The pastor took the
dove and held it to his breast and gave the
benediction."
We are sorry for Mr.. Clark IS sake that he
allowed the poetry of the incident to put to
flight the iron-clad philosophy Of his creed.
Human nature got the better of him and
rules and theses and polemics were utterly
forgotten But the gentleman though suscepti-
BILE to the aesthetic phase of the OCCASION
should have nerved himself against its Sc
ductiye attraetiveness. 1t was beautiful
histrionic opportunity for one of susceptible
impressions. The siren betrayed him and
he fell-and so did the whole audience of
Congregationalists. They should have been
superor-they have shown themselves to be
''as other men,"

at the same time the other important ingre-
dients of the milk are mai Jained up to the
standard of human milk
Professor Pfeifier, of Wiesbaden, in con
sidering this subject brought out the valua-
BILE idea of peptonizing the milk. By this
process the hard and Objectionable caseine
is physiologically changed into readily SOL
liable peptone. The principal source Of irri-
tation in artificial feeding Is thus removed.
Cows milk thus treated becomes thinner
and bears closer resemblance to human
milk, while even if all the easene is not di-
gested, that which remains coagulates in
loose flakes. Hence digested, OF easily

is as well not to completely transform tht
caseine. -
by an extract Of panorsls. nr, William
| Roberts has tabulated folT Tcrments as be
ing present in the pancrcatic juice-trypsin
curdling ferment, panorcatic distaso, anC
emulsiye ferment. The trypsin change
proteids into peptones in neueral or aka
line media, aud titus for practical purpose
of artificial digestion, especially iu reierenc
to milk, has great advantage over pepsir
which is only potent through the interaC
tion of an acid. The caseine i'll the COW
milk is altered and partially or completed
digested by the trypsin; hence any prepara
tion of pancreas that does not contain thi
ferment in an active condition will be us'
less for peptonizing milk.

Closing the Cape MAY Season,

We would be unjust to our constituency
did we not again remind them that next
Monday is their very last opportunity for
visiting Cape May by steamer Republic this
year.
On last Thursday number of Whining
tonians went to Cape May and all were de-
lighted with their trip. With one accord
they extolled the bracing virtues of the Sep
tcmber atmosphere. By the way, among
the above numbers we noticed our enterpris-
ing and genial fellow townsman Col. Ware,
whom some say would make most formid-
able candidate for Gubernatorial honors-
and the Colonel was SO much benefited by
the rarifying influences of the sea air. that
he signifed his intention of taking adyan-
tage Of ex-Sherrif Clarks Excursion next
Monday Those fortunate enough to 90
with Mr.. Clark last year will recall the
grand, good time we all had and the same
parties will not only go this year but they
will also influence t. ,r friends to 90 with
them.
This is the most enjoyable time OF the
year to visit the Cape, and the breezes from
old ocean are even more refreshing than dur
ing the heated term. The cars over the Will
mingtOn & Northern Railroad will leave the
foot of Market street at Gas am, and con-
meet with the steamer Republic at the pier
ON the Delaware river
The steamer will stop at New Castle and
Delaware City and will reach Cape May
Point about eleven o'clock, returning, will
leave the Point at O'Clock, thus giving the
excursionists five hours to perambnlate
Cape May beach. Those preferring have
the opportunity of going over to the Break
water and upon returning the steamer will
pass out of its regular course and take the ex
cursonists abreast of Cape May giving a
grand view of the new iron pier and the
mammoth caravansaries.
The trip from the Point to the Breakwater
and return is fully worth the entire fare.
The First Regiment Band will accompany
the excursion. Fare for the round trip, One
Dollsr-ohildren half fare.

We found him ON the blood-stained field
of Antetam-almost at the close of bis "a

knows how he fought there. We found him
at keTnstown fighting one to four-fghting,
falling back-grimly giving way to fight
again. We saw him strike the Federal arm
les right and left in the valley and fill Wash
ngton with white faces.
We found him at Fredericksburg on Lees

at Manassas behind Pope-in his front.
We found him at Gaines Mill. Fate waited
for him before striking last blow. 1t was
the hammer in his grasp which shattered the
Federal position. Without him Longstreet

sympathies-a general who cared not for the

his wonderful marches. He had the cour-
age of lion and the heart Of woman.
The pomp and glitter Of war were not for
him. His banners grew old and faded and
Shot-worn. His legions grew ragged aud
foot-sore and weary.

The Armory Fund Excursion.

The young gentlemen connected with the
First Delaware d. V. NJ, have awakened a
very general interest in their Mauch Chunk
excursion of next Thursday, September
17th.
This excursion is we'll worthy of a liberal
patronage as the proceeds are to serve as
nucleus for a fund for the construction of
an armory building. The necessity for
such building is very generally conceded,
and the young men interested in the enter
prise are entitled to pecuniary encourge-
ment.
Those previously visiting Mauch Chunk
will be only too happy for an opportunity to
repeat that visit and those who have never
been there will make mistake in not en-
rolling themselves among the excursionists
of next Thursday.
On another page we give you foretaste,
as it were, of some Of the views which will
entrance your attention and feast your soul,
if numbered among the excursionsts next
Thursday.
A day for rare enjoyment may thus be
cursorily outlined; arriving at Mauch
Chnnk at about II o'clock a. IN, you are
some four squares to emit Pisgahs Plane" :"
You then take the car of the Switchback
for the summit which is the objective point
for all tourists. By the time the summit is
reached yonr appetite will suggest looking
up an eating house, and we would here
state that the Washington house at the sum.
init prepares the best dinners we have ever
eaten at any hotel, and astonishing as il
may seem the price is only fifty cents.
Last year we took dinner there twice and
the bill of fare was not only elaborate bu
also satisfactorily prepared; these sugges
tions are made in the interest of those who
may desire good meal at minimum cost
At the summit may be seen the Burning
Mine and Ice Cave.
After doing the summit the return trip il
taken and upon reaching Mauch Chunk
Packers Memorial Church is well worth
visit. After this, ample time will be givel
before the start homeward to view Moore
Falls and Glen onoko-these places mus
be seen, they cannot be adequately dis
cribed.

Remarkable Bicycling.

What was accomplished on Thursday last
at the great bicycle tournament meeting at
Springfield, Mass, when a ten miles stretch
was wheeled in twenty-eight minutes and
lorty-four seconds, being the fastest time
for that length Of run ever made in the
world, is quite worthy of notice, Every.
body seems to agree that bicycling is in
every way most advantageous and healthy
amusement. 1t may be expected that at a
date not very far off, we may soc our pro
fessional men, doctors, clergymcn, etc, 60
ing their visiting rounds and calls upon
this silent, swift and pleasant courser.
There is no reason why it should not be
so,-no reason but that we are not accus-
toned to do SO. Let one or two commence
the practice and the majority will follow.
1t has been long customary, especially
among clergymeD and medical practitioners
in England
M. j. V. Webbor of Ryde, England, the
individual who made the remarkable record
referred to above, followed that victory by
scoring, on the same day, twenty miles in
fifty-eight minutes fifty-six seconds, lower
ing the former championship record one
minute, seven and half fseeouds.

Street Illumination,

1t is to be hoped that the movement now
being pushed to illuminate Market street
with electric lamps will be successful. Our
merchants will be well repaid for any ex-
penditure they may make in that direction.
Other cities have tried it and found that
good street illumination at night time gives
great help to retail business. Nothing
could be more fatal to trade than dark,
gloomy, streets and dingy stores. The
bright, cheerful light will undoubtedly at.
tract customers.
