Get ReRlStered.

We are rapidly approaching the time
when the rival political armies will be a.
rayed for the November conflict. All
who have at heart the success Of the
Democratic cause should see to it that
each soldier has his arms highly burn
ished, that his weapons are of the best
and that he is animated with the courage
to fight TO the end and with the utmost
vehemence.
September G is the last day on which
to be assessed In order to have the
right to vote at the coming election.
This is an important duty which
should receive the active and constant
attention OF all committeeman OF the
party from this time forward. The citi-
zen, engrossed with his daily work, his
business and domestic cares, is prone to
forget the important duty of registration
unless his attention is called to it per.
sonally and directly by some of the party
lieutenanls. The latter have now this
duty upon them. Let each district com
mtteemen sharply scan his list for party
absentees, and see that they are regis
tered. There is not much time to lose.
Political documents and campaigl
oratory are excellent adjuncts to u politl
Cal campaign. But they do not compar
in Importance with that organization
which brings to the polls the full part
vote.

Lancaster County Anarchists.

The dastardly outrage perpetrated in
Prohibition meeting at Mannheim should
not be allowed to pass uncondemned by
the people Of that community. If they
would retain their respect Of their fellow
citizens. The gaspipe bomb was no mere
toy, but an Internal machine Of danger.
Gus type and its explosion in crowd
with many women and children present
would have produced panic and STAN.
pede that would have been more danger
GUS to life than the flying pieces OF the
bomb itself. If the fuse had burnt
nothing could have averted most ap-
pallipg disaster, and the cowardly brutes
who made and lighted it would now be
hunted as murderers, and would fare
well IL they were not hanged off-hand by
infuriated citizens.

The Trouble a Hound caused.

In West Conshohocken lives Richard

years OF age, owned hound whose nightly
howls disturbed the whole neghborhood
and drew forth many complaints Richard
Jones himself could not enjoy the rest he

all Efforts to sifectually check tho con
certs proved OF no avail. The father
iually ordered the son to take the
dog away and either destroy him or
keep him somewhere else. Tho son refused
aud tho trouble eliminated last Saturday
mofnrg when, after another slee pless
night Richard Jones ordered Alfred to take
the dog with him when lie went to work
ami declared that he would Kill the animal
II II was sllll arouud the place when
he returned in the evening. The
son dld not take the dog away, and true to
his declaration the father drowned the dog
that evening and buried the remains
Later, when tho son returned and learned
what had happened, he Immediately y
went to work In tho family truck patch
and chopped down all the growing
sweet corn, about quarter OF an acre OF
splendid corn being made tit for nothing
but fodder When his father learned of the

The Third Rail,

It will be gross outrage upon Inc
rights of the people Of Lancaster IL
third rail is permitted to be laid on North
Queen street for the benefit OF street
car company. Lancaster has been very
generous in the matter Of granting fran
chises to street railways. 1t has asked
no compensation therefor, as is the case
in some cities, where a portion OF the
fare goes into the municipal Golfers Tor
public improvements. 1t has simply in
sisted that the street car companies shall
keep the road lying between their tracks
in good repair as we'll as that outside the
rails for given number Of inches. 1t is
q notorious fact that this regulation has
not been complied with. One OF the
street car organizations snaps its fingers
defantly at the city authorities and
claims that its franchise was from the
state legislature and that the city has no
power in the premises, a position which
is manifestly unsound.
Now we are to have third rail on
Lancastsr's leading thoroughfare, North
Queen street 1t will afford an inviting field
for the horses that delight to run away
when an opportunity is given. The news.
papers ought to favor the scheme, for it
will brighten up the local dailies by news
Of disasters to vehicles. The physicians
who mend broken limbs, the carriage
makers who mends broken vehicles, and
the uDdertakers who profit by an increase
of death in the community will all be in
favor of the third rail. But how do the
people feel on this subject 2
There seems to be here a good field for
the city solicitor to ask an injunction
until councils have had an opportunity
to take the sense Of the people on thi!
move. A new body Of councilmen are
now in Office since this grant was made,
What have they to say about this pro
ject The new rails Of the Lancaste
city street railway from their junction
with the Millersville line to the Pennsyl
vania railroad are raised three inche
above the grade of the street. Very nat
urally, the street commissioner will nc
permit this. Aud now the people al
behind the commissioner. Aud it Is eve
proposed to have turnout" on Mort
Queen street, with its double danger
The street committee are in the breaC
to stop it, and they should go rema
until the project is abandoned.
The safety of the people is the supren
law, and all street railway compani
should be made to remember 1t. l.
there be only one kind Of track on Mort
Queen street, and let all the railwa
companies conform TO IL.

WHAT THE BOY SHOULD STUDY.

Mr.. EDITOR l understand the teach
er who asked the question in the Teach.
ers' Column : OF last week, "What shall
the boy study 7" to wish some teacher to
give his opinion whether the teacher or
the parent should say what the child
shall study. Ny opinion is, that the
parent should say what the child shall
study, but the teacher should say hoaO it
shall be taught. Every child has a
stronger talent for some particular work
'orSprofession than any other, and it takes
q certain course of study to fit him for
that work. Therefore, if the parent has
the right to choose q profession for his
son, he should have the privilege Of
choosing the course of study to fit him
for that work or profession. But, in case
the parents elect course of study that
the boy is not prepared to study, to any
advantage, then it becomes the teachers
duty to show him his error, and by the
consent Of the parent the teacher should
elect the boys course of study.

ATTENDANCE AND EXPENSE.

The average attendance during the
eight years of its existence is 31f, which
is one.third larger than the attendance at
any other male college in the State.
Notwithstanding hundreds of boys were
turned away for lack of accommodation,
over 1000 boys have attended since its
Inauguration. Of these about so per
cent. are sons of farmers, two thirds of
whom are sons of farmers of small
means, many of whom could not have
attended but for the opportunities fur.
nished of reducing their expenses by
labor at the college, for which they are
paid 8 cents maximum per hour.
The actual expense of student attend
ing this college is about sl25. The
earnings Of the students on an average
reduces this amount to about 500, whilst
many further reduce it to sos or less.
The large number Of students attend.
