One of the conductors on the electric
railway was made the victim of cruel
joke few nights ago. A young man of
town got on his car at Girardville and pre-
tended to be so intoxicated that he could
not assist himself The conductor kindly
led him to a seat and fixed him comfortably
fer the ride home. During the tip the
conductor paid occasional visits to the
young man to see that he was comfortable.
The young man carried his end of the joke
admirably until the car reached town and
was bounding along Coal street, when he
jumped up, shot out the entrance of the
car, and alighted as easily as if it was only
running at speed of two miles an hour.
"Well, I'll eat my shirt if that amt

the conductor as he turned and shook his
fist at the young man,

A story is going the rounds to the ell ct
th,t an expert pool player Of town had n
somewhat sensational experience a few
nights ago, Having made match with a
Grsrdville man the player borrowed s.
valuable cue off friend and boarded an
electric car for the scene Of battle. On the
way towards Girardvile he fell asleep and
slumbered so soundly that he did not
awake until the car was safely housed in
the power house at Rsppahannock for the
night. He was evidently victim of a
conspiracy of some people who did not wish
to have him meet the Girardville man, and
he realized this when be aw0ke. But his
misfortune did not end here. In making
his way out of the power house he fell into
one of the ash pits cutting and bruising
himself in several places; and, to cap the
climax, his valuable cue was missing He
eventually got back to town, an exceed
ingly disconsolate pool expert.

icy for which the Republican party
was formed, and upon which it won
its early victories. The mind of the
nation stands today with the Repub-
licans of 1864. But let those who
are proud of the party's history and
achievements, and who still cling to
its name and fame, read the declara-
tions of such men as Mr.. MacVeagh,
and understand that there is nothing in
common between that historic party
and the combination which upholds
the Mckinley tariff and threatens the
force bill today, and they will realize
that there is good reason for our be-
lief that the ideal election Of this year,
by the wise and patriotic of all names
and parties, would result in an over
whelming verdict against the party
now in power, and for our confident
hope that the actual verdict of the
people will agree with this ideal"

WHERE THE FARMER Is ROBBED.

How the Custom House Takes Toll
from the Farmers Corn.
Our farmer sells his corn in England,
and, as he wants things rather than
money, and as many things are cheapin
England, he concludes to take his pay
in hardware, wooden clothing, blankets,
starch, paints, oils, glass, salt, cordage,
bats, crockery, cotton ties and other
like articles, and starts for home by way
of New York. There is no man with
gun behind a bush on the wharf to lie
in wait for him, but there is another
man, armed with something better than
a gun, who tells the farmer that he
must give up more than half the value
of all the things he has received in pay
ment for his corn before he can come
into possession Of the other half.
It he does not pay quickly, or if he
makes any fuss about the charges, this
other man will take toe whole, and not
unlikely put the farmer in Jail. If the
farmer could pay in things instead of
money and had taken salt in exchange
for his corn, then for every 100 bushels
he would have had to bring and give up
seventy-three additional bushels. For
every yard of the cheapest carpet he
would have had three-quarters of a yard
cut off, and if he had cotton ties each tie
would be shortened to the extent of 80
per cent. If he had taken the common
est kind of china plates or cups, then in
order to carry dozen Of them home he
would have had to pay fog eighteen.
II our government needed to impose
and collect such taxes in order to meet
its necessary expenditures there would
be some justification for such procedure
But revenue was not the object sought
for in the enactment of the laws which
authorize or require them, but the re-
strictions of trade to prevent the farmer
from selling his products to the best ad-
vantage. In short, carry out logically
and to their fullest extent McKinley's
views about industry, and you would
have every man trying to produce a
good deal and sell as little as possible

congress, and also a member of the
great lumber combine that met at
Wausau and increased the price of
lumber on which there is tax of
from $1.OO to $3.50 per thousand.
Should Mr.. Babcock be elected to
congress he will work and vote to
retain this tax on lumber, which is a
gross Injustice, not only to the farmer,
but to every one who has home
to build or foot Of lumber to buy.
The man who uses the lumber upon
his farm, in his dwelling, barns, and
other structures the consumer-pays
the tax, while the great lumber barons
wax fat and fatter. The Democrat
believes that the people are becoming
more and more convinced of the inius-
tice of system which permits few
men to grow rich at the expense Of the
many.
Mr.. krouskop should receive the
hearty support of the people Of the
district. His opponent represents in a
marked degree that class of politicians
who demand that the vast majority Of
their fellow citizens shall be, by law,
compelled to pay tribute to them.
Will the the great injustice be longer
continued? We shall soon see.

WANTS FREE WOOL.
Massachusetts, Republican Editor Out
of Sympathy with McKinIeyism.

Massachusetts Republican Editor Out
of Sympathy with NIcKtnIeyism.
The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter, the leading journal Of the spin
ming and weaving industries in this
country, which is edited by prominent
Republican member of the Massachu-
sets legislature, has grown very weary
of McKinleyism. While The Reporter
believes in a moderate protective tariff
it is not blind to what it frankly calls
the ''monopolistic tendency" of the Re-
publican party under McKinley's sway.
''The American people," says The Re-
porter, "believe the tariff has served
useful purpose, and that 1t is something
which they should now begin to grow
out of in a moderate and reasonable
manner, with due regard to all vested in
terests, and to the welfare of even those
people employed in industries which
have been turned into unwholesome
channels by unwise tariff laws"
The particular kind of tariff reform
which The Reporter wants is found in
the Democratic proposition to make
wool free. 1t adds: with free wool
and moderate tariff upon wooden goods
the United States would beat the world
on manufactured woolens of every de-
scription. We should export enormous
and constantly increasing quantities Of
mutton and lamb, and we should send
abroad large amounts of medium wool,
which would be laid down at a hand
some profit to our farmers in the mar
kets of continental Europe"
That the views of this journal are in
dorsed by other Massachusetts, Repub-
icans is boldly asserted in the following
words: There can be no question that
there has been a considerable revolt
among the Republicans of Massachu-
sets against the extreme high tariff
views represented by the Mckinley bill"

In the candidacy of Mr.. krouskop,
for representative in congress the peo-
pie of the Third district have an excel
lent opportunity to choose man who
is in touch with them upon all matters
OF public concern. He is partisan in
no sense of the term; man of unim-
peachable integrity, whose word is re-
garded by his friends and his neigh
bors as good as his bond. He is a
progressive democrat, having been at
tracted to the party by it's fearless
stand in favor of a revision and reduc-
ton of federal taxation. He stands
forth as a true representative of the
tariff reform idea, as opposed to unjust
and unnecessary taxation for the bene-
fit of the favored few. No better test
can be applied to a candidate for Office
than his standing among his neighbors
and aquaintances, and Mr.. krouskop
is known throughout his home county
of Richland as a man of worth and
high character, of great business abil-
ity and in every way most worthy
and honored citizen.
Mr.. Krouskop's nomination is most
fortunate at this time. His opponent

Fail to do Their Duty.

Everybody has at times failed to do
their duty towards themselves. Humid
reds of lady readers suffer from sick
headache, nervousness, sleeplessness
and female troubles. Let them follow
the example of Mrs. Fl. Rerbechter,

and different medicines without sue
cess. But one bottle of DR.. Miles
Nervine caused sound sleep every
night and she is feeling like a new

Two years ago the Republicans of
Iowa county inscribed the Bennett
school law upon their banner and
fought for it through the campaign as
a thing most sacred The Mineral
Point Tribune, The Dodgeville Chron-
icle, and circulars issued by the Re
publican county committee, tried to
make it appear an objectionable sin
to vote for the Democratic candi-
dates for the legislature, because
their election might jeopardize its I'M
DERIVING principles. Now, The Dem
ocrat is wondering whether among
all the delegates to the Republican
county convention this year there is
one who when they meet to nomin-
ate candidate for member of as
sembly, will have the nerve to move a
resolution that they stand by their
colors on the school question and not
renounce the faith once delivered to
them by Gov. Hoard and Michael j.

Bennett.

That great independent journal,
Harper's Weekly, in its issue of Oct.
Is, says:
During the past week three con-
spicuous men, who have long honored
the Republican party by contributing
to it the force of high intellect and
character, have declared their purpose
to vote for Mr.. Cleveland. Two of
them are known to the nation as
among the most learned of its judicial
authorities, trained to elaboration
with absolute impartiality on legal
questions; the third, also eminent as
lawyer, Is still more widely known
rs an able and upright statesman, and
as one of the most earnest and eff
Gent organizers of the Republican
party in Pennsylvania. From Judges
Gresham and Cooley we have no for
NAL declaration of the reasons for the
support they give to the Democratic
candidate. But MIR. MacVeagh, in a
letter, which has been widely pub
lished, explains clearly his motives
and political principles. These are
doubtless substantially the same which
have influenced the minds of the
other jurists we have named, and they
are such as should be candidly weighed
by every citizen.
Mr.. MacNeagh has for many years
been a prominent advocate of civil
service reform in its broadcast sense,
sc
all public business by persons selected
solely for their fitness, but the entire
control of the government by con
slderations of the public welfare, to
the exclusion Of private ends and of
class legislation. AS Attorney Gen
eral of the United States in the ad-
miniStration of President Garfield he
prosecuted with resolute courage and
with marked ability one of the most
powerful conspiracieS that ever plum
dered the national treasury, and his
experience in this work impressed on
his mind the profound conviction that
the ultimate value of all legislation
and administration, even that which
Is economic in its form and imme-
Apart from all theories concerning
the tariff, he now sees clearly that
the management of the Republican
party has become combination to
enrich certain classes at the expense
of the nation; that its continuance in
power can only continue and increase
the progressive decentralization of our
political life; and that nothing but the
overthrow of this combination by a
decisive popular vote can clear the
way for those reforms in the spirit
and the details of our government
which are as essential to the honor as
they are to the prosperity of the ma
ton. This important thought is am
plified and illustrated in his admirable
letter, so that no fair mind can read
it without being impressed with the
conviction that something more is
involved in the present canvass than
Of question of national revenue or
of the incidence of taxation.
The mass of intelligent voters
already accept the principles and pol
