REPUDIATE THE eAzETT's FALSE

Tho Mauch Chunk Gazette Of last week
subordinates every principle Of honorable
journalism in a contemplate attempt to
white wash the Republican candidate for
Register and Recorder James II. Hand
werk. The scurrilous attacks On the prl-
yate and public character Of our townsman
MI. Frank P. Semmel whom the Demo-
Gratis haye nominated for Register and Re-
corder, against Mr.. Handwerk should be
honestly and emphatically resented by
every intelligent voter, no matter of what
political faith, in this town. Let Mr..
Semme's vote be such as to repudiate the
lying calumination at the hands of the
Gazette and the disappointed and unprin-
cipled politicians back of it. He will
make clean, careful and honest public
official and as such deserves a large, in
fact, unanimous vote in this town AT

TWO VERBOSE LIES.

The Mauch Chunk Gazette, of last week,
subordinates all elements of journalistic
deceney and regard for intelligent thinkers
by maliciously assailing in low, mean and
contemplate terms the Democratic candi-
date for Register and Recorder. The
Obediah Smut Machine will have learned
one very significant lesson when the re-
turns come in, and II will be stinging re-
buke to the blackguard manner of assall-
ing the character of men who ruG on the
Democratic ticket. For the benefit of our
readers we append two sample lies Of
Brother Obediah's yerbosity in the way Of
beautiful starlight prevarication.
LIE ONE.
is 1t true that Semmel during his canyae
at Weissport knocked the bung of beei
heg in, scattering the contents oyer The
clothes of a number of citizens and re-
ceiyed scathing rebuke by Burgess Fen
ner for his maudlln conduct
LIE TWO.
Isittrue that Semme! got into drunken
brawllng fight at Lebighton in broad day
light short time before his nomination
and was kicked and rolled around the bal
room floor in shameful and disgracefu
manner?

The Growth OF Cnste.

from Ire I6tTOtt 4NetpS.
Liveried coachmen are not signs of
republican simplicity. A neat and tidy
dress for driver is an indication of re-
tinement and shows outward aesthetic
harmony with inward feelings. But
the gorgeous liveries that one occasion
ally sees on the streets of the cities of
the United States, though not so often
in Detroit as in the East, mark the de-
cling of those things that make nation
truly great. II is an evidence of caste
that cannot be ignored
The custom of liveries is an importa-
tinn no tariff can keep out, but it is to
the credit of the feelings of large part
of The working people of the country
that those inside the liveries are gen
orally born on the other side of the
ocean, or under conditions on this side
that render liveries consistent with en-
vironment.
TO see public official, such as po-
liceman, uniformed, does not crate
harshly on the average mind An Off
cial needs to be distinguished from the
private citizen, because the private citi-
zen, when he needs a public officer,
wants him pretty quick, and the uniform
helps him in his hunt. Not so bad,
either. is it to see uniformed the officials
of great corporations, like railroad and
steamboat companies. These are the
ones that give information, or ought to
be able TO give it, to the travelling pub
lie, amid the seeming confusion. to the
uninitiated, conpected with the arrival
and departure Of railroad trains and
steamships. In all such cases a uniform
is help.
But none of this is necessary in the
case of the drivers of private carriages.
Their duties are not public, and those
who employ them have no need of this
distinguishing mark. 1t is done for
show--for the ostentatious display of
wealth-for fear, perhaps, in some in
stances that the distinguished looking
coachman may be taken for the owner
of the equipage, and the real owner for
some poor relation or other incum-
brance who is being treated to an air

BUYING DRUGS.
Much Can he Saved by Getting Medi-
cine by Its English Name

Much Can be Saved by Getting Medi-
cine by Its English Name.
From he N,lO York Sun.
All the large drug firms print and dis
tribute catalogues and price-lists of their
drugs. Most of these catalogues con-
tain almost all the standard prescrip-
tions. The formulas for the most fire.
quent diseases are printed in these pam
phlets, with the quantities of the doses
and the prices at which the pills, pow
ders, or liquids are sold to the trade.
Every doctor has several of these price
lists, and every drug store has a pile of
them. A man who has any of the ordi-
nary ailments will find his prescription
repeated in one of these price lists. The
difference is that the price, list usually
gives the ordinary names for the drugs
used, while the prescription is written
out in way which only doctor or a
drug clerk or man who has picked up
the knack of it can understand.
The difference between the prices in
the price-lists and the prices at which
the goods are sold is from 400 to 1000
per cent. If man gets medicines often
and can find friendly disposed doctor
he can save great deal on the price Of
his prescriptions. The thing to do is to
have the doctor write out the prescrip-
tion in English or to give him copy
of one of these pamphlets with the pill.
powder or whatever it may be, marked
He learns the name OF 1t by heart, then
he goes to drug store and asks for
what he wants, instead of handing in a
prescription for it. This is a simple
thing to do and will save from one half
TO three. quarters the price.

Democratic Rhode Island.
FLom tie PlNadelphla Rleord.

TfOW tftc INnUhttlHttN NtCWN'
Rhode Island used to be as solid as
Vermont for the Republican ticket, but
since the enlargement and extension Of
the privilege of suffrage in that State q
few years ago she has been gradually
slipping toward the side of the Dempc-
racy. The final result of the by-elcc
tiOns for members of the Legislative
Assembly held in Providence last Satur-
day appears to establish and confirm the
claim of the triumphant Democracy
that Rhode Island must hereafter be
counted in the Democratic column. All
of the Democratic Legislative candi-
jority on Joint ballot in the Assembly,
and the consequent election of John W.
Davis as governor when that body shall
meet, on the last Tuesday in May.
1t is worthy of note that the Aus
tralian system of ballotiDg, which now
prevails in Rhode Island, worked even
better in the by elections of last Satur.
day than on the day of the regular cleo
tion. The average time required for a
voter to receive, mark and deposit his
ballot was about one minute and half,
and there was no confusion or disorder.
Bribery was rendered well nigh impos-
sible, and the vigilance of the election
officers frustrated all attempts to carry
away any official ballots. Although by
no means perfect In its operations, the
new system of voting has secured In
Rhode Island fairer election than has
been known before to the present gen
Grafton.
The political lessons of this significant
victory of the Democracy in New Eng
land will not be lost upon party man
ayers, A great change is coming over
the spirit of the ridden American
voter, especially in the older and more
cultured and conservative communities
of the East-a change that will appear
ominous of evil to the managers of the
party of extravaganza, monopoly and
sectional hatred.

The Relief of the supreme Court.

IRON me ODl0hd Bee.
The bill to relieve the docket of the
Supreme Court is one of the most i'm
portant measures passed by the House
this session. Favorable action may be
expected in the Senate, and the approval
of the President Is equally certain. The
docket of the court of last resort is now
overburdened, and the steady increase
of litigation renders measures of relief
imperative. Only the most important
cases can be advanced on the docket,
leaving ordinary cases to slumber three
or more years on the files of the court.
This works great injury to litigants
and the public at large. 1t encourages
corporations and combines to carry cases
TO the courts for the sole purpose of
protiting by the laws delay. The pro-
posed law will remedy this evil and ex-
pedite the work of the higher court. 1t
provides for the appointment of seven
teen additional circuit judges aud gives
the circuit courts final jurisdiction in a
vast number of cases of commercial
and financial character which are now
appealable TO the Supreme Court. An
other impediment to the trivial appeals
is provided by increasing the appeal
bond. The object of the law is to con.
fine the work Of the Supreme Court to
questions involving constitutional law
and to give the court ample time to
consider such questions in all their
bearings.
