TO THE CITIZENS OF COLUMBIA
COUNTY.

My opponent Mr.. Barkley, has pub
lisbed an open letter which has no
doubt fallen into the hands Of many of
you. During this campaign it has
been my purpose to treat my opponent
as a gentleman, and Ihave avoided all
allusion to him which would in any
way reflect upon his personal character.
1t is unbecoming any man to endeavor
TO elevate himself to p1b''c position by
speaking disrespectfully of an opposing
candidate.
As the candidate Of the democratic
party for the nomination, have an
nounced my name subject to its rules.
This is in accordance with the rules
of the party and the practice OF can
didates for the same position in other
counties.
l. clip the following from the
weekly Sun % Banner of July 20,
1888, showing the method of announce
ment of candidates for Judge IN the
neighboriug County of Lycoming.
JUDGE.
we are authorized to announce the name OF
HON. HUGH ii. CUMMIN, OF WtlliamspOrt, as can
ddate for President Judge OF this District, subject
to the decision OF the Democratic County Con-
vention.
we are authorized to announce the name OF
| JOHN j. MErzaER, OF Williamsport, as candidate
for Judge, subject TO the decision OF the Democrat
| ic county Convention.
The above announcements appear in
the same column with those for repre-
sent alive, jury commissioners and other
"purely political offices. At the same
time we are credibly informed that
both Judge Cumnins and candidate
J. j. Metzgar are both making a per-
sonal canoass of Lycoming county to
secure the democratic nomination.
OF course in this County it has not
been done for twenty-six years last
past because during that time Judge
Elwell has had no opposition.
While Mr.. Barkley has personally
visited but few districts in the county
yet it is well known that he has per-
sonally solicited, in the Town of
Bloomsbury, the support of voters
from every district, and for two
months last past, has had his agents
travelling and electioneering for him in
all the townships of the county.

the county will stand before me with
an equal right to the protection of the

No man has heretofore canvassed,
by personal solicitation, for the Office
Of President Judge of the Conrts, and
/ trust that there may never he anoth-
or such exhibition as is made by my

it, and will not do it, and prefer to
follow the illustrious example of those
distinguished gentlemen who have

Office. Those who desire to keep the

methods will know how to choose, and
to them I commit, with great conf.
denoe, the result.

As to the Mugwumps.

Since the Chicago Convention the
Mugwumps or the Independent Repu-
blicans who distrusted the civil
service reform professions of their
party, and who could not support Mr..
Blaine, have left no room for doubt or
misapprehens' on concerning T. g atti-
tude in this Presidential campaign.
In the current number of Harper's
Weekly Mr.. George William Curtis
defines the position of that journal
with great clearness and force. In an
article in which he sketches the his
tory of the Republican party on the
question of protection he says that this
is the first time the Republicans have
made high tariff their political slib-
boleth. He quotes the declaration of
Garfield, 81 am in favor of a protec-
tive tariff that leads ultimately to free
trade" and the message of Arthur, in
which the propriety of tariff reduction
is urged. In further support of his
position he mentions the fact that
three Secretaries of the Treasury in
Arthur's administration Folger,
Grehan and McCulloch-were all OF
them strict Republicans and outspoken
friends of Tariff Reform.
In another article Harper's Weekly
declares that the civil service reform
professions of the Republican party
are the merest humbugs. The nomi-
nation in 1884 of Blaine, in whom the
spoils system is personified, showed
how the Republican party proposed tc
realize its civil service reform promises
Blaine was the embodiment of the
platform of 1884, and, as the New
Y ork Tribune claimed, he is also tn,
embodiment of the platform of 1883
Ex-senator Harrison was nominatec
without the least knowledge of hi
position on the subject. While it can
not be denied that President Cleveland
has not always resisted the pressure o
democratic spoilsmen, Harper
Weekly asks: what would become o
the cause of civil service reform if pol
| iticians of the Blaine stripe should oh
tain control of the Government Tn
deplorable fact that the Democrats ar
not true civil service reformers doe
not make such out of the Republicans
The article concludes with the declara
ton that the adoption of the Chicag
platform a. a rule of Internal and for,
ign policy would be an immeasurabl
calamity.
The New York Times and the Ne,
York Ecening Post, which are dea
ing heavy blows against the Chicag
platform and the candidates, hav
been joined by the Commercial adoei
tiser, which supported Blaine fop
lye rs ago. The high tariff and fre

"Hurrah for Cleveland" This ejacu-

Sunday morning Colonel Fellows

l have no hesitancy. AS manufnctur-
er l endorse the Cleveland idea of tar
if reform, looking not to my own in
terests alone, but to those of my en-
ployes aud the laboring men in Gen.
eral. If a reduction of the tariff
would paralyze the industries of the
country, as claimed, why don't the
Republicans allow the Democrats to
carry out free trade measures, and
thus kill their party? The fact is the
Republicans are afraid reduction of
the tariff would enhance the prosperity

platitudes on temperance and plat

Vagaries of the Appetite.

The vagaries of the appetite, says
the Medical Register, are far Beyond
The explanatory science of physiol,
ogy. 1t afiirms that what we call
tolerance in medicine is in itself q
mystery. We cannot tell why this
this agrees with this individual, and
and at the same time utterly destroys
his brother. The trite old saying
that one mans meat is another mans
poison must be accepted miprically.
Still less can we account for the
variations of taste Why one mans
gustatory nerve should respond
agreeably to salt, while another's
repels it with violence, we cannot
understand. Doubtless education
has most to do with it, and yet the
manner in which education operates
continues a mystery. The preference
of the Chinese for food, that seems
to out appetites absolutely disgust
ing, is we'll known. In Canton, rats
sell at fifty cents dozen, and dogs
hind quarters command higher price
than lamb or mutton. Fancy eating
birds nests worth $50 pound! This
is what mandarine revels in. The
French have beguiled us into eating
frogs legs, which were once tabooed
in this country, and we have even
come to esteem diseased goose liver
in the form of pate de foie gras.
In the West Indies, baked snake is
q common dish, as the reptiles
abound, and it is good way of get
ting rid of them. But when it comes
to frying palm-worms in fat, one
would think the stomach would rebel.
1t is not so, however, though by a
strange inconsistency. stewed rabbit
is looked upon with disgust. On the
Pacific coast, the Digger Indians eat
dried locusts, and in the Argentine
Republic, skunk flesh is a dainty.
Our own favorite bivalve, The oyster,
is very disgusting to Turk, while
the devil-fsh, eaten IN Corsica, is
equally so to US. We can not under
stand, either, how the inha bitants of
the West Indies and the Pacific coasl
can eat lizards eggs with a relish;
still less, how the eggs OF the turtle
and alligator can become favorite
article of diet. The Brazilians eat
ants-probably to get rid of them
for they literally intest the country
and are of enormous size.

steam Cooking.

Good Housekeeping says: The
steamer is a kitchen utensil that is
not used enough, for many kinds OF
food are better steamed than boiled,
and the operation is better done in
this way. 1t is better to steam fish
than to boil it, and oysters are delic-
ions when cooked in this way. They
are drained, laid ON q plate and
steamed for about ten minutes until
they look white and plump. The
liquor is used for dressing, after
beating and mixing with an equal
quantity of cream, the liquid being
thicRened with little cornstarch. II
plum cake is steamed for three hours
and then baked for an hour, it is bet
ter than when baked in the ordinary
way. Stale bread and biscuit can be
rendered as fresh as when new, by
steamlng i've or SIX minutes. Do
not let the condensed steam drop on
the bread when the cover is removed,
Butter the bread as it 10 removed
and pile lightly on hot dish. Tough
fowls are made as tender as chickens

A useful size of steamer to have is
one about II inches high and fitting
over an ordinary iron pot. Steamers
may be got small enough to fit a tea.
kettle, or big enough to have several
compartments. Things that are
steamed canpot burn, and once over
q pot of boiling water, the hurried
housekeeper may dismiss them from
her mind, only taking care that the
fire does not get so low as to let the
water cease boiling. This must not
be done for an instant.
