Every good citizen can agree with the
Philadelphia Inquirer in its demand for
the election of Presidents and Vice
Presidents by popular ballot. Until
that reform is accomplished" it says,
nominations will be controlled to a
considerable extent by the necessity of
carrying close States. The field is thus
limited very materially. Whereas, a
convention should be at liberty to pick
out its best men, citizens of the United
States, it is frequently the custom to
narrow the choice to particular States.
But the evil does not end there. New
York and Indiana are doubtful, and
both parties do their utmost to carry
those commonwealths. Scandal always
results. There are charges of the lavish
use of money. One hundred votes are
as good if in the majority as one hun
dred thousand. The temptation to pur-
chase votes and to corrupt voters IN the
doubtful States is great. There is no
way of preventing corruption except by
adopting the popular ballot. The Elec-
toral College would thus be abandoned,
and every voter would vote for his choice
direct. There would then be some in
ducement for every man to take a hand.
What is the use of Pennsylvania rolling
up $4,000 majority for Blaine or Texas
giving Cleveland 200, 900 votes more than
his opponent when 900 would have the
same effect on the general result? A
popular ballot would eliminate the evils
of the doubtful States and would widen
the field from which candidates might
be taken to the boundaries of the United
States. Great reforms move slowly, and
many years will probably pass before
the popular ballot is adopted. But it
will get there in the end"

The prevalence of grip throughout the
entire country still continues, and a
Philadelphia paper yesterday published
interviews with two leading physicians
in that city regarding the malady. The
result of these interviews shows that
while there is really no way of absolutely
avoiding the grip, yet there are certain
general rules which must be followed to
effect cure.
DIR. J. G. Wilson, who has examined
hundreds of cases. said: 'The grip
cannot be avoided, in the first place, if a
person has to 90 out of doors; and as to
curing it, of course the remedies are as
various as the different forms of the
disease. Much depends upon the age
and previous condition of the person
afflicted. But there are several general
rules which are very necessary to follow
and will produce good results no matter
what form the disease takes. In the
first instance when person first feels
shivery, chilly, feverish etc, he should
90 Immediately to bed. There is nothing
so good as cuddling up snugly and
warmly in bed and remaining there
until the fever is dissipated After this
point has been reached certain amont
of nutritious food should be taken at
regular lhitlNdlS, lllt pdIltnJ
will not have much appetite. The food
intervals, either liquid or substantial, if
the patient can take the latter. Again,
in almost every case alcohol in one form
or another is very necessary and stimu-
lating, and should be taken, say in punch
form, and last of all and fully as i'm
portant, when you think you are well
don't force your energies. Don't 90 out
too soon, but remain in bed for day or
two and thoroughly regain your strength,
the same as you would if you were re-
covering from a very severe illness.
These are the essential rules which will
apply to every case; but as regards medi-
cants there is no rule, as this is entirely
governed by the nature of the case"
DIR. L. H. Andrews was found recover
ing from a mild attack of the malady
and he was carrying out his own course
of treatment, which consists mainly of
complete rest. He said 81 don't believe
that the grip can really be avoided except
by observing the same personal care as
one takes to avoid taking a cold. namely:
staying indoors as much as possible,
avoiding cold, damp, night air, and
looking out for damp feet. These are
leading causes of the grip, and l think
the fact that women are particularly
exempt from it proves this to a great
extent. In my opinion the grip is moi
nearly so prevalent or so severe now as
it was when it first appeared. l think i
is milder form, more rheumatic thar
catarrahal as seen in its effect upon tn,
lungs. 1t may be that we are becomin,
more acclimated, or it may be that tn,
malady is milder. To my mind, rest il
the most important factor in its eradica
ton. Go to bed and take absolute ant
complete rest, and it will do more goo,
than medicine. Many people 90 righ
/ ahead with their work while sufferin
from it because their constitutions ar
| stronger and they are better able to per
t form their duties tnan others. There i
, no doubt about it, almost everyone yo
meet has a touch of it. They are no
absolutely i'll, but they don't feel well.

Unless the Western Unions lobby
proves stronger than public sentiment as
an influence with Congress-, a postal tele-
graph will soon be an accomplished fact.
Senator Cullom announces his intention
to press a bill by which a postal tele-
graph will be created by very easy and
comparatively inexpensive means. 1t
will provide for the connection of all the
larger cities of the country by ten differ
ent lines of telegraph to be constructed
by the engineer corps of the United
States army. On their completion these
lines are to be turned over to the postal
department, together with the present
military lines. The proposed rates are
as follows Ten cents for 20 words up
to distance of 500 miles; cents addi-
tional for every further 10 words; and 5
cents additional for every 250 miles
beyond the first 500. For the press there
will be night rate of 35 cents per 100
words, and day rate of rs cents per 100.
The postal telegraph shall be under the
charge of telegraph director, with the
rank of assistant postmaster general, who
must have had an experience of at least
ten years in telegraphy.

THE projectors of "Hazle County"
are intoxicated with delight at the
beautiful outlook for the accomplish.
ment of the scheme, but to people
who reside outside the limits of the
new city there is large, healthy
doubt, based upon very good reasons,
that there will be no smooth sailing
in bringing about the desired result.
No one seems yet inclined to disturb
the rosy anticipations of the men who
are engineering the movement, but
unless all signs fail there will be fun
ahead when the question comes before
the people. Hazletonians are so wrap.
ped up in their greatness that they
forget the North Side is going to have
say in the matter, and Judging from
the present feeling here it will be
many years until Hazleton is a county
seat. We know it is not quite proper
to awaken our city friends from their
pleasant dream, as they should be
allowed all the happiness Imagination
can furnish, but it is better to give
them an inkling of what is coming
and thereby lessen the surprise which
the anticounty people have in store
for them.

The Toronto Week wants to know
what the United States would do if
Canada should adopt a system of free
trade, relying upon direct taxation for
revenue to Curry on the Government.
1t would require an army to enforce
our revenue laws under such condi-
tions. Uninterrupted, defiant SNUG
Cling would be carried on from the
Bay of Fundy to Puget Sound. On
articles of large value and of small
compass it would be impossible to
collect duty. Honest importers world
not be able to do business in competi-
ton with smugglers. The Canadian
Government could not play stronger
card for fair trade than to give Uncle
Sam taste of furtive free trade along
the whole stretch of bordering lakes
and lands between the two great
oceans. Record.

Rules for Advertisers.

A writer in Printers Ink gives some
excellent advice to advertisers. He
offers them the following suggestions:
l. Don't occupy more space in news.
paper than you can fill small adver.
tisement, crisp and fresh, is better than
column or two grown stale. Change
often.
2. Don't be satisfied to merely "catch
the eye." 'Tis true, Addison pronounced
that to be "the great art in writing ad-
vertisements, but as great a one is to
hold the eye after it is caught and
thereby get the attention. The domi-
nant line, the catchy first words, must
not, of course, be undervalued, only
they are not all-sufficient.
3. Make your advertisements read
able. You can't do it with poster type,
set in double measure. Try the single
column, which experience proves span
most agreeable to the eye. Avoid too
many display lines. Drop all your
superlatives and half your capital let
ters. Barnum's manner is we'll enough
once year-for circus.
4. Cultivate style-not fine writing,
not big words. but plain, direct Saxon
speech, shorn of both slang and tlnsel;
plain enough for the simple, good
enough for the refined, as Shakespeare
is and the Book of Job.
o. Secure special place in the news
paper and run your advertisements in it
regularly. Get people in the habit of
looking there for them. The value of a
special position depends very much
upon the makeup of the paper, and
also upon the kind of goods you are ad-
vertising, Top of column next to read
ing matter is not the best position for
every advertisement, or in every news.
paper. Millinery on the financial page
and plug tobacco next to the fashion
column are incongruous.
d. Never eXaggerate. Tell your little
story in modest, friendly way, and
don't promise more than you can per-
form. Aim to create an impression of
candor and fairness. Describe your
goods, but don't overpraise them. Pay
no attention to your competitors. Above
all, don't be forever asking the public to
buy. 1t is enough that you have goods
to sell. That you want buyers goes by
inference.
Z. Acquaint yourself with type so as
to use it effectively. Consider the value
of plain Roman in broken paragraphs as
compared with the ordinary display.
Plenty of people will declare that such
and such book looks interesting from
merely glancing at it, simply because it
is full of conversational matter and
broken lines. Take the hint and make
your advertisement look interesting bv
introducing sufliciency of open space.
Ample white space top and bottom of an
advertisement is great help sometimes
s. Troll your readers along from one
short paragraph to another. There are
various ways of doing it, One way is to
set the several paragraphs of the same
advertisement in different measures"
or lengths of line. A sudden change to
larger or smaller type is often agree
able and effective. The firm name set
extremely small is useful variation.
.; ADVERTISE one thing at time.
Make distinct impression. Don't cata-

A FEW men who call themselves
Democrats retain some protection
dogmas. This class should not be
considered in the Democratic Conven-
ton of next year Their choice lies
among Harrison, Blaine and McKin-
ley. The strong men who oppose
Cleveland's nomination will not carry
their opposition beyond the prelimi-
nary. Only weak and insincere lead
ers bolt a party nominee whose record
is straight from party standpoint.
1t is a concession to Mr.. Cleveland's
personal worth when the arguments
against his nomination are so dim and
irrelevant. He represents the great
issue. If tariff reform is to be the
issue, and reduced taxation and
economy in expenditures are desired,
honesty and expediency point to
Cleveland as the proper exponent.

FREELAND, DECEMBER II, 1891.
WrrH the opening of Congress- came

WITH the opening of Congress came
the expected flood of petitions and
memorials requesting that body to
pass such Legislation as would compel
the Worlds Fair to be closed on Sun
day. The majority of these are
gotten up by followers and advocates
of the famous Blue Laws, and are
thoughtlessly signed by thousands OF
persons who are not in sympathy
with the movement. With the ex-
ception of their plea that the opening
OF the exposition on that day is a
disregard of the Sabbath they fail to
offer any reasons for the granting Of
the request. 1t is hoped that the
managers of the fair or Congress will
not heed these petitions.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1891-12-17

FROM the opinions expressed by the
leading Democrats in Congress il
would seem that the programme to
be adopted regarding the Mckinley
bill will be to attack that measure
piecemeal. By removing the duties
on half a dozen articles of everyday
use, and taking these up as samples
of the beneficial effects of free trade,
it is thought the party can win the
support of many Republicans in New
England and Western States. This
is much preferable to fruitless at
tempt to pass an entire new bill, and
if the articles are selected judiciously
the Senate or Harrison dare not refuse
to assist. To the straight-out free
traders a clean sweep of everything
that looks like tariff would be more
acceptable, but even with its over
whelning majority the Democratic
party is too cowardly at present to
make that its platform.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1891-12-17

To insinuate during the past campaign
that Matt Quay was in complete control
of the Republicans of this State would
bring denial from every quarter, but
since the election is over the party organs
seem a little more inclined to tell the
truth, as the following from the Press
will show: ''Since Senator Quay's return
from Florida it is noticeable that the
local bosses are not as enthusiastic as
they were for the nomination of District
Attorney Graham for Judge of the
Supreme Court. Some of them have
even begun to throw out suggestions OF
the possible nomination of Judge " ick-
ham, who is on the Common Pleas bench
in Senator Quay's county. While the
junior Senator was in Florida the gentle
men who run the city machine brushed
ahead and made up slate covering
about everything within reach. When
submitted to him on his return he found
it contained the names of his trusty
friends for delegates to the National
Convention-men who would represent
him first and the Republican party
afterward. He therefore generously
announced that he would not interfere
with the election of delegates in this
city, but he evidently wanted someone
else slated for Supreme Judge. Well
the boys ought to be willing to divide
with Senator Quay if he doesn't wan
anything more than the Judgeship."

The eleventh annual convention of
the American Federation of Labor is
in session at Birmingham, Ala. In
his report of the past year President
Gompers regrets the causes which led
the miners of the United States to
abandon last May the general strike
for eight hours, a movement, he says,
fol- which he had labored earnestly
1t was indeed a great surprise to
Gompers and his executive board
when they learned that the miners
had not the least intention to obey
call to fight upon the ancient lines he
proposed. Miners are well aware of
the uselessness of strikes inaugurated
for such purpose, and they will have
to forget many past experiences before
they enter the field again with only a
mammoth strike as their weapon. If
Gompers and other trade unionists
would turn their attention to the dis.
cussion of economic subjects, as the
X. of l.. has done, there would be
brighter outlook for miners and work
ingmen in general.
