Courtesy always is g duty, and it always pays also"

THE TOWN TICKET.

The ticket put in nomination by the town convention last evening should put the whole machinery of the town govern ment in democratic hands next Monday. A stronger combination could scarcely have been chosen, and it has the ring of victory throughout.
 Nelson Morris is highly respected cit izen, a capable and popular man, and should receive the earnest, united and vigorous support of every democratic voter in the town. Colonel Doherty, who is opposed to MT Morris, is an atfable and estimable gentleman, a bright and com petent official, and a strong and popular candidate, but if there is one man in the democratic party in this town that can match him in all these clements of strength that man is popular Nelson Nor ris. He is an honest, upright man, faith full to every trust that was ever reposed in him, courtly in his courtesy to all, eminent in all his relations as a citizen and gen tleman. Bnt above all Nelson Morris is a sturdy, uncompromising democrat, free rom all entanSlnS IactlOnaI alliances, popular with men of all shades of political opinion, and certain to receive the full and united support of the party at the polls. His election seems assured. His associate, MT John Shanley, has qualified himself for further service in the board of select men by an excellent official record in the board. His name will add strength to the ticket
 James J. Madden, the candidate for town clerk, is young man of ability and ex- cellent standing in the community, and is popular with the party. He ought to make strong run against the republican can- didate, and if he receives the united sup port of the party which he deserves should be the next town clerk The other names on the ticket add strength and balance, and invest it with the elements of assured victory.
 The whole ticket nominated last night i S strong one. It is winning ticket, and every democratic voter in this town should be at the polls next Monday to help it to victory.
 Success to the town ticket.

A SPASM OF VIRTUE.

The people of the New England Shoe store whoever they are, fOr they do not seem to think it advisable to their own namel have kindly considered our lowly condition and in their ad. in the DEMOCRAT have called the public's atten- ton to the fact that we give away towels.
 Under the caption of An Honest Fact" they also tell you charge extra for the towels. They also give you that chestnut about carrying four times the amount of stock. We wish you could some of it. That story is of the dimen- sions as they gave you, when the brains of the houses in Boston told you that that old played out, tired out. worn out, pony and gig S4O0 worth. No hOrseman in town would have given S65 for the turnout, Yet they tell you its an hon. est fact. Let the good work go on. Pile on your abuse, tell the people that our towels are worth less that prices are way up. Let the public see how bad you feel. Tell everybody what narrow minded small souled, pusillanimous cuss w, F. Thoms is and from past records they will be sure to believe you. Say that giving away towels is illegitimate Legitimacy, That comes in good taste from the New England, the first shoe concern to violate our state lottery laws, Be sure and bring An Honest Fact
 TO the public:
 Buy your shoes of us. Our goods are warranted our prices the lowest in the city. Remember we give you a towel instead pf lNtta

We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy a Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land No. The Red Bandana will bsused for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin. Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs.

W. L. Douglas in England.

The London Boot and Shoe Trades journal
contains the following in its issue of Dec. 24th;
"a novelty in advertising appears in the pages
Of the BOSTON BooT AND SHOE RECORDER.
A full page is occupied with the portrait of Mr..
W. l.. Douglas, of Brockton, Mass, and the names
of the five specialtes that he manufactures.
Mr. Douglas is famous in the States, on account
of the boycott placed OH his goods. because he
has dared to introduce the lasting,machine into
his factory. His portrait gives the idea of de-
termned, energetic, far-seelng man of about
forty ydSrs of age. His career is well-known to
readers of the American trade papers, and it is
by no means the least thing he may be proud of,
that he has thoroughly learned everything con
nected with his trade. and has earned his living
at every branch thereof"

WASHINGTON D. g.. March 20. 1SS

WASHINGTON D. G., March 20. 1888
Mr.. EDITOR: The sudden and unex-
pected death of Chief Justice Waite, which
occurred on Friday morning last, has cast a
gloom over the National Capital. All of
the Department buildings are heavily drap-
ed in black, and flags are suspended at
half mast. The shock produced by the
sad event is universal, and perhaps it is
more keenly felt by the members of the
House of Representatives, as the Justice
was personally known to nearly all of the
old members, who had either made his
acquaintance as lawyers appearing before
the bar, or had met him socially since they
have been in Congress. He frequently
visited the House during Its sessions, and
was at such times always the center OF
attraction. His genial nature and agree
able disposition made him a universal
favorte among all who knew him. Upon
receipt of the news of his death both
Houses of Congress and the various courts
in session in the city az once adjourned for
the day in mark of respect to his men,
ory.
Washington has entertained during the
past week the largest number of destin-
guished authors that have ever convened
in this country. They haYe assembled to
discuss among themselves and interest as
far as possible the Members of Congress
and public generally in the pending legis-
lation with reference to the establishment
of an international copyright law. The
bill has received the unanimous Approval
of The Senate Committee, and has been
placad upon the Calendar. 1t will doubt
less be taken up for consideration within o
few days.
Both the Senate and House have made
rapid progress during the week in disposing
of the large number of bills which haye
loaded down the calendars since the open
ing of the session, and the way has thus
been prepared for an early discussion of
the tariff bill which has thus been report
ed by the committee and placed on the
calendar of the House.
A decided sensation was caused at the
Capitol on Wednesday last by the lightning
which strnclk the dome of the building and
shook the massive structure to its founda-
lons. The shock was so severe as to cause
temporary panic in the House of Repre-
sentatives. Many persons left the building
believing that the dome was about to fall
In the Senate Chamber ball of fire passed
several times around the room, but no
special damage was done aside from the
total destruction of the telegraph instru-
ments in that end of the building II.

aries, Miss Butler, deliberately threw over
board her right to fifty thousand dollars for
the privilege Of contesting the will Bet
tween fifty and sixty millions are involved,
and the entire property is controlled by
Judge Hilton and Mr.. Cliuch, relative of
Mrs. Stewart. 1t looks very much as If
Mr. Clinch and Judge Hilton had gone
cahoots in a little trust against all tlP
heirs. They control all the property and
have possession of all the cash; they collect
all the rents and run things generally. Mr..
Stewart had no time during his life to let
charity bless the disposition of his millions
he leaves it to be battled for by hungry
lawyers and discomfort heirs, his memory
cursed and his name execrated by those
who have been disappointed in getting a
portion of his wealth.
Like a dynamite bomb in the midst Of a
crowd the Lenten sermon of Dr. Dix of
Trinity Church fell upon the wicked sim
ners of New York. The plain fact is, that
although high church man and, like Paul.
the strictest of his sect, he is occasionally
given to little sensatonalism, especially
about Lenten time. The Reverend Doctor
at ordinary times is moderately good liver,
but when reduced to fish diet with an &C.
casional fast day, he sees salvation through
glass darkly. The Doctor is close stu
dent of church canons and rituals, and like
his friend DR.. SniYely, he has never sullied
his lawn by contact with publicans and
sinners. Many of his opinions are formed
from the sensational press, and nawith-
standing the Reverend Doctors fulmina-
tiors, l venture to say that New York and
the entire United States is better and more
moral, and. with all its sins and mistakes,
better governed than it was when DIR. Dix
was boy fifty years ago. It's all very well
to talk about the good old times, but none
of them were any better than the present.
Truly yours,

OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER
PHILADELPHIA Pa. March 2s, IS

PHILADELPHIA Pa, March 2S, 'Ss
1t is estimated that the rigid enforcement
of the Brooks High License Law will
throw out of employment over 200 peo-
| pie. This includes 10000 brewery en-
| ploves, and the balance saloon keepe rs, bar
tenders and such other helpas is connected
with the ''wet grocery business" In this
wise and to these employees this law will
not be such blessing, while it may be a
| God-send to many poor women and chill
dren. If it has the latter effect it will
prove great good, if not it will be per-
version of the coed intent.
During the late storm the Philadelphia
nail was handled and transferred at the
postoffice not by the bag, but by the ton;
over forty tons of mail matter was gathered
in the mail repositories by the time the
blockade was broken.
Prof. Jas. c. Booth, who held the re
sponsible position of melter and reliner IN

died last Thursday. During his official
life it is estimated that he was flom time

This included bullion coined and uncoined.
The U. S. Mint Gisposes merchandise met

month Prof. Booth was noted as an EN-
inent chemist of rare powers. Few had
better stan ling amongst the scientific men
of this age in his line. Booths official life
was long one and in all this time he dis
charged with credit to himself and the
government the duties of his place. Dur.
ing this time he drew as salary from the
government over $4,000. A nice snug
sum this is.
Saturday morning Philadelphia people
were very much startled by the cry OF fire,
and when it was known what was burning
1t caused an extra shiyer because it was
theatre. The thought that took possession
of all was, "what might have been" if it
had caught fire in the evening, when filled
with an audience. This can be readily con-
jectured, many deaths, &c, which usually
happen at such holocasts. The theatre was
the Central. The productions here were
largely of an athetlc order, often inter
spersed with leg exhibitions. Its location
was between 7th and sth street, on Walnut,
in the heart of the city. An amusement place
back OF the theatre was also destroyed.
This place was altogether used for sparring
exhibitions and fstic encounters between
the noted sluggers of this and other coun-
tries. Loss on the properties amounted 10

Chief Justice Waite was jurlst of unexcep-

character was no less admirable. His death

w. NJ. Meredith, who was well and favor
ably known in and around Weissport, died
in this city on Thursday, 22ud inst. It
was our pleasure to know Mr. Meredith
well, and pleasure this acquaintance was
indeed, for no one could know him butte
admire, respect and cherish him for his
ability, honor and excellent qualities as
gentleman and companion. His occupation
was that of railroading in the sense of a
manager. This work he discharged with
such ability that by commencing at the
lower round of the ladder he worked his
way to the most responsible position in
Philadelphia outside of those connected
with the general office, of the Philadephiq
& Reading r. r. Co. One of his superiors
not long ago remarked to yours truly that
"Bill Meredith is a mighty good railroad
man, and If he will maintain his present
record it will not be long until he will fig
ure as one of the prominent railroad man
ayers of the country." He was by intuition
bright, and had a capacity for grasping
things possessed by few. His loss will be
felt by large circle of friends and compan-
ions. But this loss is as nothing compared
to the loss which his wife, who before her
marriage, about fifteen months ago, was
one of the good, true and excellent young
ladies of Weissport-Miss Belle NusbaHm
will sustain. In this hour of sore Attic
tion for our old Welssport friend we sym
pathize and condole with her as one who
has sustained personal loss. Thus has
gone to that bourne from whence no
traveller e'er returneth," a gentleman, a
citizen and a friend of much merit and ex-
cellence.

So FAR AS THE PRESIDENTIAL NoMINA-
ton of the Democracy is concerned there
will be no trouble. s.. Grover Cleveland
will be nominated by acclamation. There
is no opposition to his nomination, outside
of a few disgruntled patronage-seeking or
gsns in the State of New York. These
organs, happily, bear no influence where
the sentiment of people call for the re-
nomination of a man who has filled the
chief magistracy so successfully as has
