on how the people were being robbed and
how he himself was robbed by the tariff
until you would have thought that he was
likely to end in the poor-house. He also
tried to make a comparison between the
increase of population and increase OF
sheep, but forgot to mention that sheep
were not Imported at the rate OF three
thousand a year for twenty-five or thirty
years.
The band played something that sounded
like a funeral march, then a very bashful.
q~uiet-looking young gentleman by the name
of Murray took the floor, and the way he
trounced the Democrats was fearful. He
could not talk more than half the time for
the shouting and hand-clapping. One Of
the Democratic speakers claimed that the
union armies in our lat rebellion were COM
posed Of as many Democrats as Republi-
cans, forgetting to mention the Brick
Pomeroys, Vallandinghams, Horatio Sey-
mours, BenjaminWoods and hosts of others
OF their ilk. The speaker said he believed
there we're two kinds Of Democrats, one
were war Democrats and the other-when
some one in the audience yelled copper
head-the shouting and stamping was fear
full.
Mr.. Murray was ollowed by Mr.. B.. c.
White. who told a very funny little Irish
story which would apply about as well
to a bull puncher's outfit or adog show as
to politics, but was intended to enlighten
the mugwump.
The band then gave us some very nice
music and the meeting broke up with the
best OF feeling. Nearly all repaired to the
saloon. took a friendly drink and departed
for home, each believing in the righteous
ness of his party's cause.

ballots were thrown out in this county be-
cause they were improperly voted. 1t is a
simple and easy matter to mark the ballot

pencil because you dislike a candidate. II
you do your vote is liable to be lost en-
tirely. Mark Y opposite the man or men
you want to vote for, that is all. The

not appear on the ballot. You simply
vote for three electors, making three KS
under each other. The following will SUI

An investigation among those Of our
citizens who are not conyersant with the
English language will reveal the fact
that number of them, probably the
majority, do not intend to vote at the
approaching election. Heretofore when
they came to the polls all they found
necessary was to take Il ballot, present it
at the window and give their names.
Under the new system they will find it
much harder TO vote, and very few, eX-
cepting those who are compelled by
their working bosses, intend to take any
interest in the election.
This, at least, is what is given out by
the more intelligent Of the class, and
when everything is considered there are
many reasons for believeing it. Citi-
zens though they are the men are really
ignorant Of what is represented by the
two parties, because they have not had
the opportunities to see and study for
themselves the difference between Re
publican and Democratic principles,
Very many Of them are well educated
in everything but our language and
politics, and rather than vote upon ques-
tions they know nothing about they will
keep clear of the polls. They are the
making Of good citizens, for their re-
fusal to vote now shows they want to
exercise their own judgement with the
ballot.
Unless the bosses insist on these men
coming to the polls and going with
them into the voting booths, no one
need be surprised to find a large de-
crease in the foreign" vote at the next
election.

Mr. Frick is credited with saying that
he recognizes the necessity of getting
the Carnegie works in all departments
upon basis that will enable them to
dispense with protection, and that this
is the reason for the reduction of the
wages and the contests with the labor
organizations that have occurred during
the last year or two. If Mr. Frick made
this remark it is creditable to his per-
ception, and his conduct toward his
Homestead workingmen is eminently
calculated to bring about the conditions
for which he claims to be preparing. 1t
is probable that the future historian in
writing the history of the Nineteenth
century will point to the Homestead
carnage as the beginning of the end of
protection in the United States.-St

Post Office Visitations.

Last year Postmaster General Wana-
maker had the postmasters at the county
seat of each county make visit to the
postofiices in their respective counties,
and confer with the postmasters about
improvements in the service and gather
information in regard to the postal ser
vice of the counties. So impressed with
the good results of the visitation has the
postmaster general been that he has
concluded to continue this annual visi-
tation and has sent to each postmaster
at the county seats circular requesting
this visitation to again be made this
year. The work is to be done at the
convenience Of the postmaster between
the 1st Of August and the 18th of D5-
cember.
1t is stated that this is one Of the best
ways of obtaining information as to the
needs of the service and its improve
ment in the interest of the general
public, but isn't it asking just little too
much from the postmaster at the county
seat? Because a man or woman holds a
Federal position and is under obligations
to John Wanamaker for that position, is
it right that he or she should be subject
to every whim or hobby which the post
master general may regard essential in
keeping up the standard of the depart
ment?
Luzerne county, for instance, has
127 postofiices, and to make a personal
inspection of each will require consider
able time and expense, all of which
must be borne by the county seat Off
cial. To refuse to comply with Wana-
makers request would probably be re-
garded as showing a lack of interest in
postal affairs, and rather than complain
the thousands who are subject to this
law will do the work to save their heads
The last number of the Postal Guide
says:
"This department has no means at its
disposal to enable it to furnish to county
seat postmasters or their assistants trans
portation facilities for the purpose of
making visits to the postmasters in their
respective counties. The only officials
of the department who are granted regu-
lar transportation are the postollice in
spectors. The postmaster general does
not think that a circular letter sent, or a
report received through correspondence,
would prove as satisfactory as a personal
visit. He is very desirous of having all
the postoflices visited personally. The
postofIice department has no fund for
compensation or expenses in connection
with the visitations. The work, as
stated in the letter sent to the postmas-
ters at the county seats, must be their
free-will Offering for the good of the pos

"The Proof of the Pudding" Etc.

The Peoples party in Kansas need not
be alarmed by the announcement that
Governor Mckinley is to take part in
the campaign in that state. AS long as
the farmers of Kansas have to buy agri-
cultural implements and nails and lum-
Der and clothing, and their wives are
compelled to purchase carpets and
blankets and woolen fabrics and gloves
and tinware, all of the talking which
even as slick an orator as Mckinley can
do will not make protection popular

A BIG hubbub was raised by the Re-
publicans all through the country over
the letter written by Blaine, which was
published last Thursday. They thought
they had the old man solid for the ticket
again, but careful perusal of that letter
shows the ex-secretary is not yet recon-
ciled to the work of the Minneapolis
convention. He did not even once men
tion the names of Harrison and Reid,
and did not, as they confidently expect
ed he would, call upon his friends to
assist in their election. Blaine has given
nothing new to the public in his last
letter, and from all appearances he is
not going to exert himself in this cam
paign to further the ambitions Of un-
grateful party and a selfish man.

that the decrease in imports has not beer
offset by home production. The enor

them at the cost of heavy tribute

A Touch of Comic journalism from Par

quotes the statement Of Democratic

can earn better living here" and calls
1t "a frank confession" What re-

advocates to find thousands Of emigrants
rushing from the domain Of free trade
England in search of better living in
the land of protection"
AS touch of comic journalism the
suggestion that in leaving protectionist
Canada the French Canadians are run
ming away from "free trade" is only
equaled by the calm assumption that all
the advantages of climate, soil, inter

nifty which this country offers are the

on with the tenacity Of a bulldog. In
writing around the boy brought the
other turtle in contact withhis right leg,

THE Associated Press has a correspon-

without several inches of his sensational
rubbish finding its way into the metro
politan newspapers. He is never at a
loss for news, and if the people don't
accommodate him with the genuine
article he kills them off right and left in
his imagination. The blood d-curdling ac-

reform it is beautiful and delightful to
mediate upon the multitude of joyous
