1t is reported on good authority that
Senator NJ. S. Quay, after discussing
the great extent of the Republican revolt
in Pennsylvania, has ordered his hench-
men to trade off the entire balance of
the ticket, Congressional, Legislative and
State, in order to save Delamater.
Republicans who have believed that
the Governors fight in Pennsylvania
this year has any reference to the party S
tariff policy will now see how greatly
they have been mistaken. To carry
Delamater through, Quay is willing to
lose every doubtful Congressional dis
trict in the State, and to sink every can
didate except his own personal repre-
sentative.
NJ. s, Quay is for Quay alone. He
represents neither the Republican party
nor its policy. He is bold and shame
less exponent of political trickery and
treachery, The Republican who sup
ports Quay's candidate will vote to per-
petuate boss rule and shameless betrayal
of Republican principles.-Er.

Elect Honest Men for Commissioners

Though one of the least on the list
in the usual order of proceedings
of the formation of ticket, the Office of
County Commissioner is of the utmost
importance. They levy the county taxes
and eXpend the money collected. They
should be men of prudence who would
be entrusted with private affairs of
magnitude.
No one with business of any import
ance would think for one moment of en-
trusting it to some one who was incapable
of managing his own affairs. The peo-
pie want economy in public expenditures.
They do not want Commissioners who
will be owned or controlled in the in
terest of any set of politicians. They
should be men of good judgment, who
can and will act in the interest of the
taxpayers.
No money can be paid out of the
county treasury except on the order and
approval Of the Commissioners and
when the Commissioners are incapable
how can the citizens expect business-like
public service? Let us haye men big
enough to do what is right in the face of
any and all influences.
Elect Messrs. McGraw and Dullard
and you will have such men.

Not one Democrat in the Senate or in
the House of Representative voted for
the Mckinley Tariff bill. At last the
Democratic party is unit in its opposi-
to further application of the protective
principles in the collection of Federal
revenue. Many of the Republicans on
the contrary, supported the measure with
expressed misgivings. Some of them
voted against it,
1t was even found necessary in order
to sugar-coat the dose for the people to
incorporate in the body of the measure
distinct recognition of the value of
reciprocal trade. Though the amend
ment takes the shape of a threat and in
wolves the grant of unconstitutional
power to the President, it is remarkable
as an admission of the failure of "protec-

The solid and substantial merit of
the Democratic Congressional, County
and Legislative ticket challenges the
confidence and doubtless will secure
the support of that solid and substan
tial class of independent voters who
are in the habit of looking at their
ballots before they vote. There will
be no occasion of Independent politi-
cal action in order to secure honest
government since the Democrats have
placed such an admirable ticket in the
field. There is not man among the
Democratic nominees that a stickler
for honesty, capacity or fitness can
find fault with.

SENATOR WALLACE has arrived from
Europe and from now until the cleo

From every part of the State comes
cheerful news respecting the success
of the Democratic candidates. Po-
litical lines are obliterated in every
section, and Republicans are working
for Pattison's success even harder
than the strongest Democrats. The
friends of Delamater, who were claim
ing $4,000 plurality for him, have
lowered their estimate to $4,000 or
10000, while the Democratic manag-
ers confidently assert that Pattison
will be elected by over $4,000. Vote

ON January II, 1887, the Philadel
PHO Press did not think that Robert
H. Pattison would be brought forward
as candidate for Governor in 1890.
1t had nothing to gain then by mis-
representing his career while he was
in office, and in an editorial that day
highly complimented the integrity
and honesty of the retiring Governor.
Pattison has done nothing since that

The tour of Candidates Pattison,
Black and Barclay through the State
is a series of ovations, large crowds
of enthusiastic people greeting the
distinguished party of Demscrats

boldly and fearlessly announcing their

FREELAND, PA, OCTOBER 16, 1890


Governor Pattison will go out of office to-
morrow with general recognition of the in
tegrity of purpose which has marked his public
career. No State administration ever had less
influence with its party; and yet it has been, all
in all, an administration against which nothing
can be said The integrity of Governor Patti
sons purpose and the excellence of his inten-
tions will not be questioned His hobbies were
often sneered at and his wisdom challenged,
but not his honesty.-FrOm the Philadelphia

In Chauncey F. Black the friends
of ballot and taxation reform will find
their stanchest assistant. His labor
for years has been spent to accomplish
these reforms, and long before this
campaign opened he was working
hard for the introduction of the Aus
tralian system of voting in the State.
Chauncey F. Black and ballot reform
have been synonymous for years.

Why Mothers Darling Could Not Sleep

Why Mothers Darling Could Not Sleep
in His Grave.
There was once woman who had a
little son about seven years old, who
was so lovely and beautiful that no one
could look upon him without being kind
to him, and he was dearer to her than
all the world beside. 1t happened that
he suddenly fell i'll and died, and his
mother would not be comforted, but
wept for him day and night. Shortly
after he was buried he showed himself
used in his lifetime to sit and play, and
when his mother wept he wept also, and
when the morning came he departed
Since his mother never ceased weeping
the child came one night in the little
white shroud in which he had lain in his
coffin, and with the chaplet upon his
head, and seating himself at her feet
upon the bed, be cried
'Oh, mother, mother, give over cry
ing or else [ can not stop in my COT
fin, for my shroud is never dry because
of your tears, for they fall upon it,
When the mother heard this she was
sore afraid and wept no more. And
the babe came upon another night
holding in his hand little taper, and he
said:
Look. mother, my shroud is nowquite
dry and | can rest in my grave"
Then she bowed to the will Of Provi-
dence and bore her sorrow with silence
and patience. and the little child re
turned not again. but slept in his under
ground bed G.orr1an FOlIy ora

CONCERNING CATARACT,
Disease of the Eye Which Usually At
tacks Elderly Persons Only.

A Disease of the Eye Which Usually At
tacxs Elderly Persons Only.
The crystalline lens of the eye is sit
uated just behind the pupil, and lies be-
tween two fluids, the aqueous in front
and the vitreous behind. Its object is
to focus the rays of light which pass
through the pupil upon the retina be-
hind, where they act upon the terminal
ends of the optic nerve, and thus give
vision. This lens seems to get it's sus-
tenance from the fluids in which it is
immersed, and when disease of it's
structure occurs it probably arises from
some lack of proper nutrition from these
sources.
Perfect transparency of the Lens is es
sential to good vision. When any por-
ton of it becomes Opaque the entrance
of light is INSTRUCTED, or it passes
through in an irregular manner, and
loss of vision, more or less complete, re-
suits. The condition of Opaqueness con-
stitutes what is known as cataract.
1t may affect only portion of the lens,
or the whole may be so dense as to pre-
vent the perception of any object,
though it can never of itself be so COM
| plete as to shut off entirely the sensa-
ton of light.
Cataract may be congenital, or it may
come on in youth or in adult life, but
by far the majority of cases occur in
persons over fifty years of age, in whom
it takes the name of senile cataract.
Generally there is found some embar-
rassment in the use of the eyes for
longer or shorter period before the
opacity is visible to the eye.
The cloudiness usually has definite
starting point, and from that place it
may progress until the whole lens is in
volved, or it may be arrested spontane-
ously in any part of its course. Such
cases of arrest have given rise to the be-
lief that certain nOstrums will prevent
the formation of cataract, or will re-
move it.
In reality no means is known of stay
ing or preventing it. The only hope
lies in removing the mechanical OBJ
struction by surgical methods.
The form of cataract which follows an
injury is explained by the fact that the
capsule which surrounds the lens is
ruptured, and portion of the fluid en-
tiers the lens and produces sodden con-
| dition at one point, from which the dis
Indignation may continue.
There seems to be predisposition to
the formation of cataract in some people,
for in elderly persons, when one eye has
become affected. the other is very likely
to pass through the same experience.
While it is best, In order to get the
most satisfactory result, to delay the
operation until the cataract is ripe"
that period being the time when it is
most easily removed, one should never
wait until the sight is entirely lost, for
there is danger that the process may 90
SD far as to render any operation entire
~ fruitless.-Youth's Companion.

Effects of Anthropotoxfne.

Every one knows that the air of
close room in which many persons are
sitting becomes bad, and that it is in!
furious. For long time the injurious
effects have been attributed to carbo mic
acid gas, but recent experiments con.
Quoted by capable observers would seem
to show that this is an error. It has
been found that air containing very
large amounts of pure carbonic acid gas
can be breathed with absolute impunity,
but that air spoiled by the breathing OF
human beings contains small quantities
OF one or more very poisonous substances,
to which Prof. Debois- Raymond has
given the name anthropotoxine, or hui
man poison. To this alone is due tho
nervousness of the air in unventilated
rooms. Recent experiments of French
scientists show that this poison comes
from the lungs. But the fact that the
poison has been named, and that we know
just where it comes from, doesn't make it
any more wbolesome.-Ch Her

A FRENCH ROMANCE.
The History of an Annuity That Rea
Like Medieval Legend.

The History of an Annuity That Reads
Like a Medieval Legend.
Quite romance in real life has been
related by the Able Martin. the parish
priest of Audes, in the Department of
the Allier, who was recently robbed of
92, 400. The priest was lying asleep in
his room, when he suddenly felt him
self seized by a strong hand and gagged
while the point of sharp instrument
was pressed against his breast. A voice
said to him, If you stir you are a dead
mani" The Able lay still. and, after
short time, the midnight marauders
went away. He then rose, and found
that his money was gone, and that the
robbers had also been in his brothers
room. This is the tragedy part of the
story, but the real romance comes in
about the money, which was the install
ment of an annuity enjoyed by the
priest since the year 1887. The history
of this annuity reads like medieval
legend. Once upon time, several years
ago, as the Able told the officer of gend-
armes at Herisson, he was accosted
outside his church by misera-
able man in rags, who said he
belonged to a great and wealthy
family. which he had utterly dishonored
by his sentence to penal servitude for
grievous offences against the law The
unknown begged of the Able to get him
into monastery, where he could live
and die in complete obscurity, ''the
world forgetting, by the world forgot
Able Martin took pity on him, and
found him place as lay-brother in a
Spanish monastery. A few years after
that the priest received letter from a
notary informing him that he had been
appointed the universal legatee and
executor of person who died in
mOnastic establishment in Spain, and
whose property in France was worth
several millions of francs. The Able,
armed with his papers, went off to the
family of the deceased monk, whose
brother, believing him to have died in
the hullIs. had inherited all the paternal
property. By an amicable arrangement
the Able cheerfully surrendered his
rights, and upon the condition of never
disclosing the name of the family of the
defunct monk, he was supplied with
handsome annuity of 92. 400. Of this
fact the robbers who broke into his
room were evidently aware. The ma
