with all the governments of this hemis-
phere. We do not covet their territory;
we desire their peace and prosperity; we
look for no advantage in our relations
with them except increased exchanges OF
commerce upon a basis of mutual benefit.
We regret every civil contest that dis
turbs their peace and paralyzes their de-
velopment, and are always ready to give
our good Offices tor the restoration of
peace. 1t must, however, be understood
that this government, while exercising
the utmost torbearance towards weaker
powers, will extend its strong and ade-

officers and to it's humblest sailor when

cruelty in resentment, not of their per-

1t May be Interesting to Know

That when excursion rates are made
to Chicago for people who live in the
East, to enable them to attend the
Worlds Fair next year, it is contem-
plated by the Western roads to also
make excursion rates from Chicago to
all principal business and tourist
points in the West, Northwest and
Southwest, so that those who desire to
spend few weeks among their friends
IN the Great West, may have an op-
portunity of so doing without incur
ring much additional expense. 1t
may be we'll to consider this subject
in advance of actual time of starting,
and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.

and time tables and other instructive
reading matter, which it will be glad
to furnish free of expense upon ap-
plication by postal cad addressed to

We call for means not only IN
spread the truth among the people
and to aid IN getting to the polls the

but also to detect, to prosecute and
to punish crimes against the purity of
the ballot, wheresoever in the United
States they are perpetrated and by
whosoever committed or directed.
Every indication points to the de-
feat of the Minneapolis candidates,
and to the triumphant election of
Cleveland and Stevenson.
The popular will clearly favors the
Democratic cause; all anxiety about
the State of New York is allayed and
she will give her electoral vote to our
andliates. All reports from inde.

BADLY RATIFIED.

Concerning the difficulty and con-
fusion arising out of the method Of
printing the new blanket ballot, it
should always be remembered that fall
the trouble was made by Republican
Legislature. The Republican party
leaders had no desire that the secret
ballot should ever be prescribed by
law in Pennsylvania. But they did not
dare openly oppose Ballot Reform,
though they could cucumber and Grip
pie the Bill with provisions unnecessary
and absurd. And that they did. Their
hope was that they could worry the
Democrats into voting solidly against
it or that the Governor would refuse
to sign it. But the Democracy ap-
preciated the strength of popular sen
timent in favor Of Ballot Reform and
the Governor considered that imper-
feet and incongruous as the Bill was,
it was nevertheless a long stride in the
direction of free vote and fair
count and therefore he signed it
leaving the responsibility for its imper-
fections with the Republican party.
Chairman Reeder has been most
active in searching for and pointing
out the shortcomings of the new law
and suggesting difficulties in its opera
ton. These shortcomings and these
difficulties the Republican partisan
legislators are responsible for. And
the Republican Chairman himself with
his bubbles and queries and sugges.
tions as to mere matters of form, has
caused numerous time killing contro-
versies and needless delays in the
preparation of an official ballot. He
has generally succeeded in having his
own way because the Democratic
Chairman has been anxious to save
time. And lnow with cool audacity
which is essentially Republican, Cen
eral Reeder actually asserts that the
delay, and careful endeavor of the
Secretary of the Commonwealth to
comply with the absurd provisions Of
the law for which Republican legisla-
tors are responsible, are parts Of a
wicked Democratic plot, and has
scared himself nearly to death with the
wagaboo of a "high handed. conspiracy"
We dismiss as unworthy of consid.
Grafton the proposition that General
Reeder is not sincere in his fearful cry
of alarm. The truth appears to be that
for some time past the Republican
Chairman has been badly scared as the
true situation in Pennsylvania has de-
veloped. He is in fact very badly
"rattled." The idea that Democratic
state officials would conspire to dis
franchise all the voters of the state,
could never have found lodgment in
the Generals brain, if the desertions
of protected laborers from the G.. o. p.
and the utter inability of its ablest re-
peaters and ballot box suffers to cir
cumvent the new law, had not very
badly ratified him.

Notes Of the Fair.

Over 1000 people were fed at the
Dining Hall.
The attendance on Friday and
Saturday was immense. The grounds
were full. Estimates vary from a.
900 to $4,000 each day.
The new grand stand was filled at
every race. 1t holds nearly two
thousand. The price of admission
was IS cents. The entire course can
be seen.
The Jackson Combination gave
exhibitions each day, consisting of
running races with double team,
standing on two horses and setting
on one horse.
An exhibit that attracted much at
tentlon was white cat and four
kittens, and in the same pen with
them were five little chicks. The
latter nestled among the kittens as
though they were covered by the
wings of hen. This happy family
belong to Malcolm Walker Of
Shickshinny.
The display made by Bloomsburg's
industries were some thing to be
proud of. Beautiful silk from the
Silk Mill were very tastefully arrang-
ed, and near by, the Wooden Mill
showed its fabrics in attraction
arrangement. Desks from the
School furnishing Company, furniture
from the Furniture Company, Churns
and Washers from C. Mears & Sons
factory, and display of the different
sizes of tubing made at the Brass Il
Copper Company's works, all at
tracted much attention.
J. Saltzer had large space allotted
to him, and as usual his booth was
constantly surrounded by an admiring
crowd. The White sewing machine,
and the Es.ey and other makes Of
organs, the Steck and Estey pianos,
were there in great variety, and an
excellent orchestra supplied good
music daily.
Alexander Bros. & Co. had fine
display at the north end of the ex-
hibition building, embracing meer-
schaum pipes, cigar holders, cigars,
tobacco, &c
w. J. Corell exhibited some fine
furniture, and Eshleman & Wolf,
w. o. Holmes, c. B. Ent, and w. F.
Hartman each had a nice line of
stoves, heaters ranges, &c. H. A.
Kemp had an attractive showing of
photographs and crayon work, and he
also had his wagon on the ground and
took many orders.
John Ewes had a number of his
celebrated Millville farm and spring
wagons entered, and gave his person
al attention to all who called.
There were more fancy articles than
ever before.
The excellent management is
shown in the fact that every thing
passed off so smoothly, no one was
hurt, no lighting, no drunkenness or
disorder OF any kind.
There will be a meeting of the
Society officials on Saturday after
noon.
1t is probable the premium list will
be printed next week.

A BOLD BURGLAR

Last week Thursday afternoon the
residence of Paul F.. Writ was entered
by stranger Mr.. and Mrs. Writ
were in New York, and the hired girls
were at the fair. An entrance was
effected through the kitchen door.
The thief evidently thought he had
struck it rich for he helped himself
most bountifully. AS he was about to
leave, one of the girls returned and
gave the alarm. The man ran down
Iron street toward the canal, and
number of Normal boys who were
practicing foot ball at the park gave
chase. These were joined by en-
ployees at Wirt's Pen factory, and
when the tube works were reached
still others joined the chase. When
they were on tine heels of the thief he
turned on them and drew a revolver,
but the boys didn't scare worth a cent,
and soon had him powerless. He
was put in wagon and brought to
Squire Jacobys Office, where he waiv-
ed hearing and was committed to
Jail. He had on a suit of Mr.. Wirt's
clothes, and an overcoat. In his
pockets he had spoons, forks, napkin
rings, gold watch, brushes, and many
other things, amounting in all to near
ly four hundred dollars worth. He
gave his name as James Fitzgerald.
1t is said that he lives in Lycomins
county. He will no doubt have an
opportunity to ponder for many long
years in solitary cell over his act.

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES.


Architect Kipp and contractor Long
were both on the ground of the new
building last Saturday and discussed
several important features relative to
the building. 1t was decided by them
that owing to the solid rock founda.
tion, the superstructure could be
materially cheapened. There will be
no concrete needed where the rock is
found.
A feature that should greatly inter
est the town and surrounding country,
is the fact that arrangements are just
completed whereby the school will be
supplied at once with complete out
fit Of weather and temperature signals,
Daily communication will be had with
Washington and thus we will be en-
abled to know the weather forecasts
as ascertained by the bureau at Wash
ington.
During all the days Of the Fair, and
especially during Friday and Saturday,
the grounds .and buildings were
thronged continually with visitors from
out of town.
