ATTENTION DFMOrRATc

The following is copy of circular
which has been distribu ted during the
week:
1T is rumored that number ofKniChts
of Labor have selected a Legislative
ticket, namely: Arthur Hatch, Repub-
lican, of Weissport, and Daniel Bachman,
Democrat, of Weatherly, and pledged
themselves to support them for nomina.
ton, the first named by the coming Re-
publican Convention and the latter by
the Democratic Convention.
This circular is addressed only to Dem
ocratic members of the Knights of Labor,
who are respectfully asked to think well
before taking such step.
1t is difficult to believe that anv con-
siderable number of Democratic mem.
bers of said organization can be led into
such trap, as to attempt to elect dele
gates secretly pledged to defeat the
Democratic ticket for theLegislature, aud
by so doing help to elect a United States
Senator for six years in the interest of
the Cameronlan monopolists!
Remember also that if YOU are already
pledged on the Legislative ticket as re
ported and believed you are. to one
Democrat and one Republican, that you
can not under the party rules and usages,
nor as an honorable man, exercise the
right to vote at the delegate election on
Saturday. Only those have a right to
vote under the party rules who stand
pledged to support the ticket nominated
by regular Democratic convention. In
other words ask yourself whether you
can satisfactorily answer the following
question::
Are you already pledged to vote either
for Congress or Representative to the
Legislature, irrespective of the nominees
of the Democratic County Convention?
If, as an honorable man you can
answer this question in the negative.
then no one can question your right as a
Democrat to vote as You please. But if
you are, as rumored, already pledged to
vote for one who will probably be a can
didate on the Republican ticket, you can
not under the rules, nor under the law
of the State, vote at the Democratic
delegate election on Saturday.
1t is therefore respectfully suggested
for your consideration, that it is your
duty to reconsider the matter, and cast
your ballot in good faith as an uncom-
promising Democrat, and in favor of the
nomination and election of full and
stra light DEMOCRATIC ticket.n

POINTS POLITICAL.

-Blaine's attitude on the Prohibition ques-
ton proves that Geronimo isn't the only
dodgcr in the land.
Shepherds friends claim that he is popu-
lar with the Schuylkill county farmers, and
that they will elect him to Congress.
The mournfu echo of the "chcs tnut" bell
will fall painfully the cars of the man who
gets left at the Democratic County Convcr-
ton on Monday.
The Democratic Conference for tie iith
Congressional District has been called to meet
at the Wyoming Valley House, Wilkesharre.
ON Thursday, September 2i, at 1a o'clock NJ.
Why is Pennsylvania Congressman
nominated on the rotation plan, like the horse
that was taught to live without eating any
thing" Because just as he learns his lesson
he dies.
The Mauch Chunk Democrat favors the
nomination of J. II. Shull, the Monroe county
candidate for the Twenty-second district
Senatorsllp. Carbon and Monroe can nomi-
nate him over Van Aukcn, OF Pike.
The examination of "the books" made
thus far shows that the Republican party is II
dcfaulter to the tune of S2O.OOO,OOO Yet here
is Mr. Blaine, with unspeakable effrontery,
demanding that it again be entrusted with
the combination.
One hundred and twelve years ago says
the Louisville Journal the American Congress
met In Pennsylvania. 1t no longer meets IN
Pennsylvania, but it is understood that nOtf-
ing OF consequence is done during its sessions
until Pennsylvania is consulted.
A decapitatcd Republican postmaster
lately yindicated the action of the President
by writing him an indignant letter, which
closed; Before | am removed will some
body he kind enough to tell me what have
done in the fourteen years that have held
this oilice?"
Arkansas opened the fall elections Mon
day for the choice Of Governor, State officers
and Legislature, leaving the Congressional
battles for November. There was no serious
opposition to the reelection of Governor
Hughes, and the success of the Democrats for
all State officers and both branches of the
Legislature followed as a matter of course.
For pure adamantinc check in the CON
struclion of platform the Missouri Rcpubli-
cans are entitled tothe prize. They denounce
the Democrats for having failed TO reform
the tariff, " although their own representatives
in two Congresses voted solidly against even
the consideration of the subject, which two
thirds of the Democrats favored. The Pro
hibition troubles are making the grand old
partisans desperate.
Charles S. Wolfe tells the Fittsburg Post.
"We win have larger Prohibition vote ON
the Republican side than ever by many thous-
ands, and will have large following of indie
pendent Republicans, and many votes OF more
recently dissatisfied Republicans. 1t VIII
only take 275,oOO votes to see us through. and
there are enough Prohihltionists, Republicans
and Democrats who prefer to see the Pro-
hlbitlon ticket elected to any other, who will
give us their support If we can convince them
that we have a fighting chance"

THE EKyIGHTs OF LABoR

A despatch dated Pttsburg, Sept. 7,
says: 1t is understood that at theNational
Convention of the Knights of Labor, at
Richmond next month, changes in the
present laws will be made that will
amount practically to complete re-
organization of the order. The district
plan has not proved so successful as was
expected, for the reason that in many
places districts have been formed within
districts and in consequence the local
strength has been divided The great
number of district assemblies also makes
it impossible for the general officers,
even with the assistance given the Exc
cutive Board at the Cleveland meeting,
to keep up with business. The result is
that important matters frequently can
not be investigated promptly enough to
prevent dissatisfaction.
To remedy this it is proposed to model
the order on the government of the
United States-that is to have State Or
ganizations and Supreme or National
Assembly. The State Assemblies under
the new plan will haye control of the
territory under their jurisdiction, but the
acts of their officers will he subject to
reversal by the General Master Work
man. Thus Mr.. PowderlY will retain
supreme control while gaining relief
from the routine work that now falls on
his shoulders. The plan has been
thoroughly canvassed since the adjourn
ment of the Cleveland Convention, and
there is little doubt but that il will be
| adopted,

RECONCILIATION,


What a moving and sublime spectacle
is presented to the world to-day.
Charleston, stricken and crushed,
stretching out her arms from the dust
and ashes of the ruin that has fallen up-
on her, and her sisters of the North and
East Fastening to her succor with wet
eyes and loving hearts. Charleston,
whose hand held the torch that fired the
rebellion, from whose citadel the first
bolt was hurled against the Union
Charleston lying prone and sore, and
New York, Philadelphia and Boston
hurrying to her side with all sweet Offices
and gentle ministrations-this is a spec
tacle to fill mankind with JOY and heaven
with gladness!
Was anything more needed to seal and
certify the reconciliation? Surely not.
The South is grateful, wayward, pas
sionate, erring, fallible, impulsive. The
South is always and pre-eminently CRATE
full. They have not forgotten-those
saunt and ragged thousands who laid
down their lives in 1S65-they have not
forgotten the magnanimity of the hero
TO whom they yielded. lie is dead now,
and above his noble ashes there is yet
no stately monument or sculpl ured Of
fering, but the memory of his magnif-
cent forbearance lives in million soft
ened hearts, They have not forgotten
those innumerable victims of food
and scourge in IA, rs and 80, who lost
hope and heart, and cried aloud in their
eNtremity-they have not forgotten who
it was that came to them with overflow
ing hands, with words of comfort, and
with deeds of tenderest mercy.
1t were safe to say that nothing more
was needed to heal the would of twenty
years ago. The new South had built
upon the vanished bases of the Old .
New vim and purpose had revived the
idle forces of her growth. Fair haryests
beat and bougeoned DER the battlefclds
they hid from sight forever. 1t was
Peace.
But this last touch of sympathy-this
pledge of fellowship-this will leave no
heart in the South untouched. 1t was
so quick, so eager, so spontaneous; there
was such warmth, such poignancy of in
terest, such unstudied zeal-it was the
apothesis of fraternity. We say the
South is grateful. We know the South.
We vouch her profoundest recognition
for her answering love.

of as an important factor in finance no
more. James Keene came from San
Francisco With the reputation of being
one of the most daring operators on the
Pacific slope. He had run through the
wild speculation of the Big Bonanza
mines. No man knew exactly how many
millions he had, but that he had plenty
of money no man doubted. Mr.. Keene's
first idea was to kill off Jay Gould. Russell
Sage and few others, and become in
New York what he was in San Francisco
king of the Street. He struck out
right'and left from the start; he asked
no favors nor granted any; he wanted no
advice nor gave any, but whenever he
saw a head exposed he hit it. On the
street he met John Ponder, and the
moment the two came together it was
evident that there was going to be a
fight. Keene hated Ponder, and Ponder
held Keene in sovereign contempt as a
sort of financial cowboy. They met each
other with varying success and bent on
the others ruin. One morning about
seven years ago John Ponder came down
town worth half million. and when the
sun went down he was hopelessly ruined.
Keene, cool and imperturbable, looked
on the ruin of the man he hated without
quiyer, and John Ponder left the street
never to return. He is now attending
bath. house in Philadelphia. Kecne
tested Jay Gould, but in every conflict
the Little Wizard sent him to grass, and
it is now five years ago since Keene made
the last grand effort of his life. Though
he had not been able to rival Jay Gould,
fortune had not been unkind to him.
His race horses had carried his colors to
victory in England, and later had carried
off the hOnors and emoluments of the
Grand PriX at Paris. He had delight
full cottage at Newport, and few re-
spectacle friends had admitted him to
their homes. If he had stopped there
all would have been well. But he con-
ceived the gigantic idea of getting up a
corner in wheat which should make the
poor mans barrel of flour cost him double
and it required hundred to a hundred
and fifty millions of dollars to consum-
mate the villainy. Mr.. Keene staked his
last dollar on the deal and lost. His fine
pictures and horses and Newport cottage
and house on Fifth avenue all went,
and the ruined gambler retreated to a
little cottage on Long Island, where he
lives in humble way at the present
time. No man pities him; few respect
him; all good men reioiced at his down
fall. While he had wealth he did little
good with it. Horse jockeys and stable
men were made glad vii h his abun 'arce,
but the poor and suffering knew him not,
and to religion he was a stranger John
Ponder, in his humble bath-house, is
happier man than James Keene who
ruined him; but both avenger and victim
sink out of sight, and Wall street will
know them no more.

HOW HAPPY WE SHOULD BE.

Geronimo having surrendered himself
and his braves to General Miles as
prisoners of war, peace again spreads an
unruflled wing over the whole territory
Of the United States. Our difficulties
with England and Mexico are not the
kind which require a gunpowder deter
mination. We may safely rely upon
proper settlement by the ordinary
methods of diplomacy. How happily we
are situated as compared with the first
class Powers of Europe who divided
with us the supremacy of the civilized
world. They are so busy watching for
fear that in tho disintegration of the
Turkish Empire one Power shall get
the better Of another that they are ready
TO claw each otl yitals. Here we go
on without spinning and weaving ana
farming with nobody to make u afraid.

BpO2dbTim'S New York Letter.

Special to the CARBON ADVOCATE.
When wrote my letter of last week
we were in the midst of a revolution.
Thousands of car drivers aud conductors
had struck on two of our surface roads,
and at one time it looked as if there
might be general tie-up, and in the
upper part of the city there were several
bloody riots tor two days. l have done
considerable grumblIng about our muni-
cipal administration, and in many de-
partmcnts we have fallen into very bad
way; but when | see our police tackle a
mob of rioters fifty times their number,
and scatter them like chaif-when | re-
fleet that such trained body Of brave
men give us the reinsurance that property
and life are secure-l feel that il is a
privilege to live in New York after all,
and one for which | cannot feel too CRATE
full.
A person who has never seen a riot in
a great city can form but little idea of
the desperate character of the conflict.

ONLY TWO YEARS AGO.

Two years ago the congressional con-
ferrecs of this county were unanimously
given to Michael Cassidy, along with the
privilege of naming the gentlemen whom
he desired should represent his interests
in the congressional conventions. At
that time, as is well known, he made a
choice of three men-all from the upper
end-complctely ignoring the lower end
and its right to have a voice in the mat
ter of nominating a congressman as
second choice. However, that was two
years ago, and now the same Michael
Cassidy, with a modesty that is almost
amusing, comes to the lower end and
asks, that, if they can do no more, they
shall at least give him one delegate from
each district as a compliment. It is
hardly necessary, we think, to advise
the Democracy here az to what is their
duty. 1t would indeed be an unpre-
cedented event in politics If the lower
end should support Cassidy after his
failure to recognize the Democracy here.
As he did then he would undoubtedly do
again as the principle" of self-agrand-
izement is so deeply rooted in him that
he is blind to the best interests of his
party. Remember this when you elect
your delegates tomorrow Saturday.
