PLATFORM


At the County Convention held Aug
20, the following Platform was adopted
together with the State Platform
l. That there be general reconstruc.
ton of the public school system in our
county, consisting in the reduction of the
school examiners salary; that he be re-
quired to visit the schools at least as often
as the law now requires;and that he make
more frequent reports of the school funds
In his hands and that his failure to com
ply with the law shall be declared mall
feasance in office; that the trustees of
the public schools be selected from the
patrons of the school; that no teachers
be appointed except those having passed
the required examination, or holding
Normal School certificates of graduation;
that a uniform series of text books, Civ
ing the effect of alcohol on the human
system be at once placed in the schools
as the law requires
2. To bring about the reduction of the
expenses of the county offices.
3. That the jury system be changed so
as to prevent the same men from con-
stantly rotating in that capacity
4. That there be more judicious eX-
penditure of the road tax and that com
petent practical men be appointed as SUI
pervisors.

A Double Game.

The game that the leader of the
opposition to the Democratic ticket
proposes to play is to cut the com
missioners ticket, except one, Mr..
Baldwin. To cut the delegate tick.
ct, the State Senator, the Clerk of
the Court. and County Treasurer,
aud support the Sheriff, States At
torney and Orphans Court. Pattern
tickets with these candidates marked
have been distributed in the county.
But Democrats don't be caught by
such bait. If you turn your county
over to the Republicans what have
you to gain : If you defeat your
delegate ticket, who have YOU to
look 70 in the Legislature for re
dress, or to represent your claim to
the Governor : Think of these
things, and ask Yourself if it is not
better to endure the ills we have
than to fly to those we know not of.
Did you ever know Republican to
do anything politically for Demo-
crat : Then why do yon want to
help those who can't help you ?
These are reasonable, sensible ques-
tons that every Democrat should
put to himself before he votes.

The Printed Ballots.

Our attention had been called yes
terday to the official ballot printed
and posted up at the Assembly
Rooms, and we called attention to it
in last evenings CAPITAL, and pub
lished in parallel columns the posi-
ton and relative standing of the can
didates of the three tickets, which
caused great deal of comment. We
have since been informed that the
law does not prescribe the relative
standing of the candidates on the
local ticket-that that is a matter
for the Supervisors of Election to
determine; and the reason for this
action was that the leader of the OPP
position to the Democratic ticket
had put out number of duplicate
ballots with the names of the candi-
dates marked with Y, that the voter
was to vote for. 1t was supposed
that the tickets would be printed in
the usual relative standing, and a
number of duplicate ballots or pat
tern tickets had been printed, mark
ed for the votor who was to use
them rs sample when he went to
vote, and distributed in the county.
A pretty shrewd game, but the boss
got left.
Now as to the legality of the bal
lots printed in this form it does not
yitiate the ticket in the least, so that
the names are all on the ticket and
properly spelled. 1t is said that You
must fight the devil with his own
weapons and this is just what the
Democrats propose to do in this cam
paign. They have not only got the
Republican foe to contend with, but
they have got the traitors of their
own party to fight which is worse
than all. But the ime has come
gentlemen to draw the line, and say
to thess enemies of your household
faith-get We on the other side of the
fence. In other words IF you are
not for us You are against us" Let
true Democrats take their stand and
maintain their rights, and not be de.

Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-10-01

In view of the announcement that there
will be opposition to the passage Of the
bond ordinance, when it comes up in Sc
lect Council, it will be interesting to learn
whether the opposition will take exception
to tie form in which the question is pre-
5ented to the people OF to the proposed
issue of bonds.
If the latter, the production of the argu-
ment will throw further light on the inter-
esting question what objection there can
be to letting the people say whether they
wish to have bonds issued, OF to pay what
ever tax rate may be required to meet the
street claims. Arguments in favor either
of the issue of bonds or of payment by
direct levy will be very urgent when the
question is before the people; but as to
letting them decide that question by a
formal vote there is surely no room for two
opinions.
If the opposition is based on exceptions
to the form in which the question is pre-
sented it will be pertinent. The DIS
PATCH took such exceptions to the ordl-
nance as it was first presented; but the
amendments since made seem to give the
people a chance to vote with fair under
standing Of the nature and terms of the
proposed bond issue.
That is the vital point to be guarded.
Let the tax payers have chance to vote
with clear understanding, after full dis
cussion of the subject; and the mode of
payment which they select will be the one
that should be adopted.

THE FEAR OF EARTHQUAKES.

In commenting on the panic produced
by the slight earthquake tremors oflast
week the Philadelphia Ledger says: "There
is nothing more terrifying than an earth
quake. To feel the earth slipping away
from under ones feet and to realize that
nothing man may do can stop the con-
vulsion is enough to appal the stoutest
heart"
The statement of fact is DOUBTLESS cor
rect, and yet the reason given seems, when
we apply to other classes of danger to
which it is equally applicable, wholly in
adequate. There are several other mani
festations of the forces of nature against
which the power of man is utterly futile.
The destructive hurricane, the raging sea,
or the river that has burst its bounds have
that quality to an almost equal degree.
The tremOrS of last week were hardly
closer to the commissions that swallow up
cities and cause the earth TO yaWn than
the spring freshet is TO the devastating
food or the fresh gale to the raging hurri-
cane. Why, then, do people go into panic
at harmless little tTemor of the earth
and regard the lighter manifestations of
natures other destructive forces with in
difference or even with pleasure.
Probably the chief reason for the Differ
ence is that the earthquake represents
novel and wholly incalculable peril. If
people were wholly informed either by
their own experience or the testimony of
others OF the ability to navigate the seas
the sensation Of being tossed by the powers
Of the ocean might produce a fright akin
