Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1890-12-11

Our remarks last week on the Sc.
lection of a candidate for the Office
of Poor Director, to be voted for at
the next spring election by the voters
of the Middle Coal Field Poor Dis
trict, seems to anger our old friend
Rauch, of the Mauch Chunk Demo-
crat, who rushes into print to define
his position and to tell us why he did
not support the choice of the people
of the Luzerne portion Of the district
at the Hazleton convention last year.
After the support given to the Demo
cratic Poor District ticket last year
by our old friend, we are led to the
belief that the people of the district
can very well do without his advices.
The TRIBUNE, as representative of
true Democracy, has no interest in
the fight this year, other than to see
a good, capable and honest man
selected by the people of the lower
end. 1t will not dictate who he shall
be, believing that the people of the
district are the best judges as to who
he may be, and after the nomination
we will do our best, without fear or
favor, to elect him. From the know
ledge we possess of the people of the
Luzerne portion of the district, we
are confident that nothing will occur
to mar the harmony that should exist
between the conferees OF the different
districts at the next nominating CON
vention. 1t is time to stop growing.
If there has been wrong done by
any of the present or past Board, the
courts, and not the newspapers, is
the proper place to ventilate it.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, lSG


WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 1890.
Pensions are paid by grateful nations
for honorable service rendered by in
dividuals. This nation has no regular
civil pension list, but it has always re-
warded the men, who, in either branch
OF its military service, have risked
health, limb and life in its behalf No
class of citizens cavil at this payment.
The people do not object to the imposi-
tion of all burdens of taxation necessary
for the collection of an amount sufficient
to pay those who deserve pensions. But
the time has come when they do de-
mand greater care in framing pension
legislation, to the end that Just dis
elimination may be made between de-
serving and undeserving applicants, and
that the soldier and not the pension
agent may be the beneficiary. In the
most recent case of failure of the out
come to agree with the official forecast
that of the dependent bill passed by
the present Congress-the public were
told that there could not possibly be
filed exceeding 300, 900 claims under the
the measure. In the first fifteen weeks
after the passage Of that bill $780, 600
claims were filed, and the claims still
come in 1t is said, at the rate of 5000 to
l0,oOO week. The claims were to cost,
all told, from $50 100000 to 1000, 900
year; They do cost as far as filed, an
annual payment Of nearly $50, 900 900.
1T was said that no extra appropriation
would be necessary. Instead of that
there may be deficiency Of $2O, 900 900
If deserving pensioners had gotten all
this there would be some consolation for
the financial pinching administered to
the republic. There can be no revenue
policy, wise either for the present or the
future, adopted and sustained so long as
the estimates for pensions are as unre-
liable as those Just considered. The
public demand fair dealing and wise
Craftsmanship in the name both Of the
veterans and the taxpayers.
~
In order to meet, as far as DossibIe
the present heavy demand for notes If
small denominations, Secretary Windoro
has decided to issue SO, s. and 81 Treas.
ury notes in exchange for Treasury
notes of larger denominations. Owing
TO limited time allowed to prepare for
the execution Of the Silver bill, it was
iound necessary at first to confine the
issue OF notes authorized by that act to
notes or large denominations. The
United states treasurer has now on
hand about $50, 100000 in one, five and
ten dollar treasury notes, and the Secre.
tary has directed that they be EXCHANGED
Tor the larger notes on presentation.
The supply of ones and fves is, however,
very small Just at present, and the eX-
changes will temporarily be confined
principally to tens. Hereafter small
notes will also be principally used in
making the silver purchases instead of
large notes, and it is hoped in a shorl
time to have supply Of them sufficient
to meet all reasonable demands. h.

OF Different Family.

A prominent lawyer in New Or
leans, who died recently, was no less
noted for his tolerance than for his
legal knowledge. To a friend who
once happened to express wonder that
this trait was SO highly developed in
him he said:
eff have a charitable temper.
owe it to a chance remark of an old
uncle of mine made when I was a
boy.
HE saw me one day torturing a
frog, and said, meditatively, Now, 1
wonder why you do thatG You are
kind to dogs, birds and rabbits
II replied that the frog was hideous,
filthy and useless.
Yes, perhaps so, he said, in the
same reflective tone. 1t belongs to a
different family from you. It has not
the hereditary traits of the dog, the
rabbit or the man. But it is not a
trait of frog to fight or despise an
other creature because it is not like
itself. That is the mean, senseless vice
of man..
II thought over the remark a long
time, trying to understand what he
meant by it. After that day never
threw stone at frog; and I learned
TO apply his meaning to the men and
women around me. Montreal Star.

George Washington's Buttons,

In connection with the conch shell
buttons, the story is told of Gen.
Washington that one day, while walk
ing alone in the streets of Philadel-
phia, he was accosted by a poor Ital-
ian, who, ignorant of the personality
addressed, continued to follow and inn
perfume him to buy some of the conch
shells which he carried in basket on
his arm, and which he persisted were
the only things that he had in the
world to dispose of. but, my good
man." demonstrated Gen. Washing
ton, what would l do with your
conch shells2 l have no use for them. I"
"Oh, yes you have, came the ready
rejoinder. You might have them
made into buttons for your coat. :"
Smiling at his prompt reply, Wash
ington not only purchased the shells,
but, the better to further the advice,
took them at once to his tailor, and,
directing them to be riveted, ordered
brown velvet coat, that their espe-
cial usefulness might be straightway

THE LADIES' LUNCHEON,
1t Frequently Rivals in Elegance the DiI

1t frequently Rivals in Elegance the Din.
ner of Ceremony.
BY a process of evolution, almost az
gradual as that of the development of
the human species, the early dinner has
become merged into the luncheon, so
that instead of the old formula of break.
fast, dinner and tea, we have the modern
one, which calls for breakfast, luncheon
and dinner, the old-fashioned supper be-
ing almost thing of the past.
For many years after the luncheon
became an established institution, il
was the informal meal of the dav, hur.
riedly eaten, and mostly composed OF
what had been left over from the dinner.
The luncheon of the present, even en-
famille, has but little affinity with that
OF the past, often being as ceremonious
and as carefully prepared as the late
dinner. 1t is, however, essentially a
lady's meal, for few men possess sui.

their own houses.

lunches frequently rival in elegance and
Ostentation the dinner de haute cere.

gloves. Dresses of heavy texture should
be eschewed, as the apartments in this
country are generally overheated; the
smaller and lighter the bonnet the more
comfortable one is apt to be, and there
seems really no reason why it should be
worn at all.
AS gentlemen are excluded from all
participation in the ladies' luncheon. a
delightful absence of formality is the
result. and in consequence the liberty
OF saying just what one pleases is fire..

Mechanical contrivances will always
be powerful stage factors. The public
requires animation-but hardly such
animation as was experienced by an
intimate friend of mine. In one scene
ne had to effect an escape by jumping
on the left hand side of a railroad
train as it left the depot, and, by imme-
diately jumping off the right hand
side, evade his pursuers. The fore part
OF the train was built in profile; the
last car was a solid one, wheels and
all. The car crossed at very speedy
pace, but one of the wheels broke off
as my friend started to jump, and he
was hurled by the momentum of the
shock clear across the footlights, and
into the arms of a fiat, fair and forty'
lady who sat Immediately behind the
orchestra. Duncan B Harrison.

Successful Where All Else Has Failed. The
La Sale Method and Its ADVANTAGES,


Our preparations are called 1.-The La Sale
Remedies from the fact that we procured the
original formula of the celebrated Dr. La Sale
of Paris, under guarantee that should we think
proper to introduce at any time his remedies to
the American public we should do so under that
title.
Some years ago Dr. La Sale conceived the idea
of treating nervous and seminal diseases by
rectal medication, believing he would gain the
following advantages:
a. Application of the drugs directly to the
seat of the diseases.
(2) Avoidance of digestion and naturalization
of the active neutral medicaagents there being
no stomach drugging.
(3) The patient can cure himself at very lit
tie expense without any physician.
a. Their use requires no change of diet or of
the ordinary pursuits OF life.
(5J They are absolutely harmless.
o. Close approach to the lower apertures of
emergence OF the spinal nerves from the yerte
bral column, and hence ease of penetrating to
the nervous fluid and matter of the brain and
spinal chord

The word Bolus is a Latin name, and means a

In the preparation of the La Sale Bolus we
use the best cocoa butter for holding and pre-
serving the various drugs, thus making their in
PRODUCTION a very easy matter.
They pass into the rectum with the most per
feet ease by means OF little pressure from the
finger.
This method of treatment leaves behind no
traces to excite the curiosity Of any one. 1.-

SYMPToMs.-Frequent urination, rising at night

is derived by placing these remedies right at the
