Bradford Women Threaten to Prosecute
Distributors of a Libelous Circular.

BRADFORD. Pa. Nov. 7.-[SpecidL 1.-The
Brad!ord Woman's Republican Association
is getting the best legal advice obtain
able as TO whether the publication
and distribution of the pamphlet
among Prohibitionists and at the

here last week, is not indictable under a

THE FUTURE OF LITERATURE.
Pierre Lott Says That There Is Always
Plenty of Room for Good Men.

Plenty of Room for Good Men.
"1 have been successively informed that
the literature of the future is to be con-
fined to psychology, to symbolism, to
mysticism, to the new naturali5m, as
well as to scientificism, to mag
nifcism, and even to instrumental
ism. 1 doubtless pass over some of those
that consist only of groups in ism, baptized
with the names of such and such a writer of
more or less notoriety. says the famous
French witer, Pierre Lott, in the Forum.
New poets will keep coming, who will
etenalIy sing for their brother man the
song of their souls, their joys and their
fears I'm the presence of life and death, in
the presence OF love, in the presence of
the enigma of the world. And, how
ever old the song may seem, it will
nevertheless be new each time. as smiles
and tears are always new though they are
eternal. All, well, tomorrow the good
writers will nave their triumphs, just as
they have unquestionably done in the past"

'What is it?'' asked the political office.
1T is this, - said the needle; I've been neg
lected for SO long that I've become rusty, and my
eye is almost gone. In fact, I'm knocked clean
out and If / could only become bright like other
needles. would be very. very happy. So, whatl
want you TO do is to come to my haystack and hide
right beside me.'

PENNSYLVANIA people are 50 nearly of

they are naturally more eager to hear from
other States than their own. There are one
or two very lively Congressional contests.
though, in which Keystone politicians have
been taking great deal of interest. Fore
most OF these is the Flood-Sibley struggle in
the demoralized Erie Crawford district,
which has never entirely recovered from
the Delamater campaign and subsequent
bank failure. Here, too. ex-State Chairman
Andrews. defeated in 1890 for the Senate, is
endeevoring to get back to the Legislature
by way of the Lower House, and has en-
countered vigorous opposition. In the
Twenty-iourth district the complications
are such that the returns from every county
may be needed to determine the relative
status OF Acheson, Stewart, Sipe Jobes and
Cox. Right across the Ohio line in the old
Mckinley district, q desperate struggle has
been wnged by candidates Morgan and
Ikirt. Another important Buckeye contest
is that in which Congressman Harter is en-
deavoring to wipe out a Republican lead OF
1000 in his new district. In Cuyhoga
county, too, Tom johnson, the free trade,
single tax advocate is making similar ef-
tort.

other should also. What part has Colone
Mcclure borne in framing Democratic tarit
hills? If debate between leaders III that
sense. representing the two parties, was ueSir
able. why did not the Democratic National
Committee propose on that side Mr.. Mllls the
resnonsible author Of the Mills BILL or Mr.
Morr.son the responsible author OF the Morrison
hill or Mr.. Springer who declined to be the
responsible author Of any general tariff bill
because he did not venture to commit his
marty to any definite plan Of revision? In

Mcclure came forward, who has had no part

feet propriety it was proposed that he Sho"id
he met by Republican journalist, who had no
official part in framing the Mckinley act. Bu!
n discussion on such equitable terms Is nos
what Colonel Mcclure desired.
No one will question his ability to defend
effectively his peculiar ideas OF the tariff.
But it is particularly well known that he has
not been representative Of the ideas which
prevailed in the Democratic National Conven-

tariff question Would he undertake to main

Democratic National platform, and who would
not for an instant accept the Mills BILL or the
Morrison bill, or the hole punching bills OF
Mr.. Springer, or the action Of any Democratic
