Can,n,'s Emulsion Cures Consumption,

The late DIR. Geo. B. Wood, Prof. Uniyer-

"As a remedy in Pulmonary Consumption,
Cod Liver Oil far exceeds any other"
DR.. Churchill, of Paris, says;
Consumption when not treated with the
Hypophosphites must be regarded as almost
always fatal, whereas, when used in time,
every patient may be cured by use of the
Hypophosphites."
Camm's Emulsion is composed of the Pur-
est Norwegian Cod Liver Oil combined with
the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda with
Iron. DIR. G.. F. Mason, of Charlestown,

Mr.. Emery's statement amounts to
nothing. It is q pity he could not
give their names, and it is another
pity that he could not give them to
openly perjure themselves, In order
that they might be brought into
a court of justice and sent to the
penitentiary, where they certainly
belong. No one knows better than
Mr.. Emery that the unsupported
declarations of anonymous individu-
ais, who openly confess that they
make a business OF dealing out
money at election time, is simply no
evidence at all. Such men would
be as willing to swear to lie as
they would to the truth, and it is
doubtless knowledge of the weak
ness of his case that keeps Mr..
Emery from exposing these shame
less persons to public gaze. Mean
while, it is in order for the gentle
men to explain the affidavit from
Milwaukee, which would seem to
show the desperate methods adopted
to get together testimony of shady
nature.
Again, the character of the man
who makes these charges must be
taken into account. !. He poses as a
reformer, and yet while member Of
the State Senate his duplieity was
of such stupendous nature that its
mere recital would cause an cutburst
of indignation from the constituents
he so signally misrepresented.
We pity Mr.. Emery. While vent
ing his spite upon Delainater be has
called his own career into the light
of public scrutiny. Were the facts
published there would be none so
poor to do him reverence.
Poor Emery.

AGAINST PATrIsON.
An Opposition Club Formed mt Lam
caster FavOrs Dclamatcr.

LANCASTER, Sept. ga political
organization, composed partly OF
Democrats, who were outspoken in
their opposition TO Pattison, has
been effected in the Eighth ward of
this city, which is the strongest
Democratic polling place in Lam
caster county.
The organization is known as
Club 81 of the Eighth Ward. It's
officers are: President, George w.
Hardy; vice president, Horace Mil.
Ter; secretary, Leonard Kissenger ;
treasurer, John F. Flick. Some of
these officers and many of the men,
bers of the club have hitherto been
strong Democrats. They proclaim
now they are Dsiamater Democrats.
They are weary of Pattison and
have no use for Pattisonian piati-
tudes. They will exert themselves
in opposition to the Ex-Governor.

Poor Emery.

Well, Mr.. Emery has tried to sub
stantiate his charges against Della
mater and has miserably failed.
His speech, excluding his TRADE
against the Republican candidate,
which, of course, is not proof, con>
sists of few affidavits, which have
already been given and the report OF
a conversation engaged in by three
anonymous individuals VINO dare
not give their names to the public.
These individuals claim to have dis
tributed money to influence cleo
tions, and the public will understand
how to Judge such people. 1t will
be observed that these anonymous
persons, whose oaths, of course,
would carry no weight whatever,
are very carefully shielded by Mr..
Emery, and for very good reason.
Beyond the charges of these men

An Unsatisfactory Verdict.

The outcome of the Coroners In.
quest into the disaster on the Read
ing Railroad last Friday, near Shoe
makersville, is not at all satisfactory
to the public. The blame for the
collision of the coal trains, by which
debris was thrown in front of the
passenger train, wrecking it and
killing twenty-one persons and in
juring as many more, were laid upon
brakeman, and the case left there.
No attempt was made to arrest the
man, Or to inquire why coal trains
were placed so near together on a
track adjoining the one on which ex-
press trains were running.
This is not the way in which
similar events have been treated else
where. In Massachusetts, New
York, Illinois, and in other States
where trains have been wrecked and
lives lost recently, all those concern
ed have been held to a rigid respon.
sibility. Searching Investigations
were made, and the guilty persons
handed over to the courts to be
dealt with according to the law.
Not only was the record of those
who were Immediately concerned
carefully inspected, but the record
even of those through whose inhu-
ence the inculpated persons obtain-
ed positions on the railroad was
inquired into. The rules on which
the road is run were also subjected
to searching examination, and any
weak points were mercilessly ex-
posed.
1t is only by laying all the facts
bare when such a disaster occurs
that the public mind can be satisfied.
Any attempt to conceal facts or
shield the guilty persons is readily
detected. Railroad officials are
held to much more rigid respon-
sibility now than formerly. A high
er class of service and greater securi-
ty to life and property is demanded
by the public. Many railroads have
responded to this demand, and the
result is seen in the decrease of ac-
cidents ON such lines. If the Read
ing Railroad wishes to keep the con-
fidence of the travelling public, it
should make more rigid examina-
tion into the recent disaster than
the one had, find out where the
blame rests, and then hold the
culpable persons to an accountable
ty.

REMEDIES SUGGESTED.

"Misdlrection. incorrect, illegible
and deficient address, Says the super
intendent, "are the main causes
which occasion mail matter to fail
to reach it's proper destination.
He advise that all letters should
be plainly addressed, giving the
name Of town, county and State. If
the letter is sent to city where
there is free delivery, the street and
house numbers should be given and
the number Of the post-office box
when possible. The name and ad-
dress of the sender, either printed
or written, should be placed upon
the upper left hand corner of the
envelope or wrapper of mail matter.
This will secure it's immediate re-
turn to the sender if detective in any
way. Packages and all matter mail
ed at less than letter rates of post.
age should, in addition to the name
and address of the sender upon the
envelope or wrapper, bear request
for it's return in the event of non-
delivery. This will insure it's re-
turn to sender. All matter nail
able at less than letter rates of post
age must be SO wrapped or inclosed
that it can be readily examined with
out destroying the wrapper other
wise it is subject to letter postage.
Only bona fide trade samples are
transmits sable at reduced rates of
postage. He also advises all per-
sons desiring to mail matter to
foreign countries to consult their
postmasters, who are provided with
the postal laws and regulations.

To the Voters OF Sullivan County.

Some reports have been circulated
that if I should be elected to the Of
flee of county commissioner l would
favor the erection of an expensive
iail and other extravagant county
expenditures l deem it proper
therefore to state my opinion that
the finances of the county will not
warrant the erection Of new build
ing for jail at present, nor within
the next three years.
1t should be remembered that the
commissioners alone have no au-
thority to erect a new public build
ing; the appreciation of two sue
cessive grand juries must first be
obtained. 1t is not likely that two
grand juries, each consisting OF
twenty-four taxpayers taken from
all parts of the county, will recon-
mend the erection of new Jail be-
fore the mass of the taxpayers are
in favor of it. If elected L
will in all matters favor a just and
economical administration of county
affairs with a fixed purpose to re-
duce the county taxes.

Postmasters are receiving circu-
lar letters from D. P. Leibhardt,

letters from reaching that office.
The letter states
"Over six million pieces of mail
matter are sent annually to the
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1890-10-03
WHAT BECOMES OF IT.

"Matter sent to the Dead Letter
Office which cannot be delivered to
the person addressed is required to
be opened in it's treatment for the
purpose ofteturning 10 the sender and
if the name and address of the sender
be not shown or cannot be ascer-
tained from the contents, and it con-
tains no valuable inclosure, it must
be destroyed. Letters opened and
found to contain any inclosure of
obvious value are entered upon
proper records; and, of such, those
which do not disclose sufficient in
information to enable them to be re-
turned are fled, subject to reclama-
tion upon proper application and
Identification.
"Letters which contain no inclos-
ure of obvious value are not record
ed Packages and parcels are re-
corded, and where they do not dis
close the name and address of the
owner are filed; if not called for or
claimed within two years they are
disposed of at public auction and
the proceeds covered into the Uni
ted States treasury. A large pro-
portion of the packages and parcels
sent to the dead letter Office fail to
be restored to the owners because of
the absence on the wrappers or in
closures of anything to indicate
ownership thereof"
The Superintendent states that of
the unclaimed and undeliyered mail
matter received at the Dead Letter
office during the first year, 451, 200
were letters nisdirected, while pa
600 were entirely blank; $4,000
were letters held for postage; 1885,
900 were letters addressed to per-
sons in care of hotels; $4,000 were
letters to fictitious addresses, and
principally correspondence relating
to what is known as "green goods"
or "sawdust" swindles, and etc,
many of them containing money
with orders for the purchase of these
