''Ehc StOwaway.:

'The Stowaway" comes to the opera house next Friday night with a cast that will give it a very effective presentation It introduces safe-burglary every night, and shows new phases of the realistic drama. Two of the partici- pants in this play, Kid" Mccoy and Spike Hennessey, are said to be re- formed criminals. Both are mighty safe-breakers. So it would appear they keep their hands in for practice.

Republican County Ticket.
Mr.. Pattision's Claim.

1t must be as mortifying to the
democrats of the State of Pennsyl-
vania as it is interesting and spicy to
republicans to note the prevalence
of the spirit of discomfort which has
found expression in many sections
since the Scranton Convention on
the part of that branch of the democ-
racy, dissatisfied with the ineXcus-
able, though open and admitted i'll
treatment received by the Wallace
men ut the late gathering of the
democratic party. There have not
only been e1missions of grave dis
satisfaction by leading democrats,
from which reasonably correct and
iudicious deductions may be made
as to the present state of feeling
within their party, but occasional
rather sharp upheavels have occur
red, more plainly and forcibly indi-
eating the true state of things, i'll
the organization which saw fit to nc
cept Pattison and reject Wallace III
the ticket recently placed before the
democrats, than any words could
well depict.
Since the nomination of Mr.. Patti
son, whose integrity, uprightness
and honesty of purpose is not to be
called into question, it has been OBJ
served that considerable portion
of the democracy, hitherto regard
ed as absolutely solid for any candi-
date to be named, as the standard
bearer of the party in the great con
test soon to open i'll our State, does
not hesitate TO openly and frankly
express its feelings of bitterness and
distinct dislike toward the outcome
of the sided and grossly manipu-
lated Pattison-Scott assembly, which
did not hesitate to knife the most
astute and keenest democrat within
their party, that inordinate ambi-
ton on the part of one man, who as
pires for the second time to the chief
place within the Commonwealth,
might be gratified, at the expense of
Mr. Wallace and his friends and
that, secondly millionaire Scott, who
is more especially notable for the
distinction his blooded race-horses
have won for him upon the trotting
track, than for any accidental act of
intelligence or benefit he ever per-
formed in Congress, might the easier
attempt to reach the United States
Senate with the assistance of Patti
son, whose place on the ticket, it is
vainly, though for that reason, none
the less heroically, imagined by his
impetuous and over-zealous sup
porters, would lend sufficient
strength to the operations of the
democratic party throughout the
State, in the fall canvass, to not only
seat him in the chair, he has not, by
reason of the force of constitutional
prohibitions, occupied during the
last four years in the Executive
Chamber at the Capitol, but also to
return democratic legislsture,
whose sincere obligation and solemn
mission would consist in selecting
William l.. Scott to take the seat of
Senator Cameron in the upper house
of Congress.

The Slanderer.

Webster defines the slanderer as
one who "defames or Injuries anoth-
er by false reports, or utters mali
cious untruths 10 harm another"
The writer will try and show how
unfortunate it is for neighborhood
to have such characters and the
great evil they do in repeating un-
truths or mixing truths with false
hoods.
The slanderer has no conscien-
tious scruples at all, does not mat
ter if it is father-in-law, brother or
sister, he will carry his slanderious
reports and SOW the seeds Of dis
cord wherever they take root. In
fact there is no limit to the utter
ance of his vicious tongue. Drop in
his family circle. The first words
you hear will no doubt be about
some poor unfortunate, who fell in
to the hands of the sheriff, or some
poor mortal who they thought made
some great mistake. 1t is seldom
that the slanderer discusses any,
thing about religion, farming or any
such topics that would improve his
sluggish brain, for the simple reason
they never read anything and
find no pleasure in anything that is
refined. They are even not salts
fed with those who left this world
for a better one. The writer knows
of n case where even in death they
slandered and would not let their
ashes rest in peace. The question
may be asked, what delight has the
