Trees Near the uonse

A reliable authority on matters re-
lating to the aspect and surroundings
of a house considers that no single
tree should stand within some feet of
it, no garden within several yards and
no woodland, with its carpet of decay
ing leaves within at least half mile.
This last estimate might we'll, it is
thought, be reduced by one-half, and
perhaps twelve to fifteen feet might be
taken as the smallest distance which
should intervene between tree and
house. With this qualification the
proximity of trees to dwelling house
is distinctly beneficial. To insure a
pure and fragrant atmosphere, "you
must, says a writer on the subject
accept from nature those tall, green
chimneys called trees, which imbibe
and carry aloft into the air those hurt
full gases which, if admitted to the
lungs and brain, might disease the for
mer and obstruct the delicate move
ments of tie latter"

faulty situation, are yet generally
healthy, chiefly because they are en-
vironed with trees which shelter them
from the cold winds of winter and
spring and in summer prevent that
sudden and rapid evaporation which
after heavy rains may generate disease.
A most striking example of the use of
trees in preserving and promoting
health occurred some years ago As
the story goes, man, along the ex-
tremity Of whose garden ran a ditch.

celebrated for dangerous fits of temper

under the influence of such a school
till her nearest relatives would not rec
ognize her if they should ever take the
time and trouble to visit the school

L do not mean a schoolroom full of
competitive examinations, of ''marks, +"
and of irrelevant inducements to make
the child commit to memory a mass of
unrelated and undigested facts. Imean
one where, without any inducement but
the natural desire for knowledge, which
is all sufficient with any American child

thorough and pleasurable work.
We may learn a lesson from this fact
for it is no theory-of the effect of
regular work on our tired nerves. and
wise shall we be if we apply it. Even
the most consistent homeopathic physi-
clan could not object to this kind of
tonic; though he would tell you, and

This weeks Gallitzin JTndicator So

This weeks Gallitzin ITndicator says
the following in commenting on the at
tacks made by the Johnstown Tribune
on +. J. O'Connor the Democratic can
didate for district attorney:
The uncalled attacks made through
the Johnstown Tribune upon +. J. o.
Connor, Esq, Democratic candidate for
district attorney will react upon the
Republican party next Tuesday and will
not effect the vote for district attorney
alone, but the whole Republican ticket.
In attacking Mr.. OConnor they have
Increased his vote with the miners
of the county, and he will get the solid
vote of the Democratic and the indie
pendent members Of that craft and like
ly many Republican votes if we may
judge by the miners expressions and we
feel We are safe in doing SO. Mr.. o.
Connor has made An exaellent district
attorney and people of Cambria county
regardless of politics feel it their duty
to re-elect him. We have known Mr..
O'COnnor for years, and as advocate of
the working people, we feel we would
not be doing our duty if we allowed his
political enemies to assault him without
at least saying, We always found him
honest and capable in the discharge of
his duties so far as we have any knOwl-
edge of them and so far as the working
people are concerned, we feel they will
show his assailents that they know their
man and will support him.

THE secret character of the new ballot
system, says the Philadelphia Herald,
prevents in a large measure the bribing
of voters. Where there is no means of
knowing whether a voter who has re-
ceived money for his ballot will carry
out his contract, there is no inducement
for corrupt politicians to put money in
such an uncertain investment. An
other plan, however, is being reSOrted
to, by which money can be made useful
in influencing the result of elections,
but it takes more cash, as it effects but
half as much as when votes are directly
bought.
A great deal Of vigilance was required
on the part of the Democratic commit
tees in New York state to prevent the
Republican boodlers from influencing
voters not to register through the means
of money consideration. If "A voter
didn't register he couldn't vote, and that
would be at least half vote gained for
Harrison. No doubt something was eff
fected in this way, and it may be ex
pected that further efforts will be made
to purchase the absence of voters who,
if they should go to the polls, would vote
against Harrison. The immense cor
ruption fund must be used and there are
venal voters in every party. But this
method of killing votes takes more
money to produce the desired result than
the old way of polling the vote for the
candidate in whose interest it was
bought. 1t isa negative result that only
goes half way. The numerically large
registration in New York shows that the
registry WIS not materially affected by
money, and reliance may be placed on
the vigilance of the Democrats in count
eracting the efforts of the boodlers To
hire voters to stay away from the polls.

That CO-ppcrative Steel Plant

HOMESTEAD, November 4.-There is
considerable discussion going on here
over the proposed cooperative steel
plants Mr.. X. Sands, of London, Eng
land, who came here yesterday To CON
fer with the advisory board regarding
the scheme, stated that he had an option
on "A tract of 1000 acres of land iocat-
ed in Bath and Allegheny county, Nir-
ginia. This tract was rich in coal and
iron and was undeveloped. Some two
years ago an effort was made with CAPT
talists of New York, Philadelphia, and
Baltimore partly with English capital to
develop the property, but through the
failure of the Barring Brothers the scheme
failed to materialize. These men are
still ready to invest in the scheme. and
he considered it was most favorable
opportunity of employing the large force
of skilled men here that would he hard
to obtain at other times. According to
Mr.. Sands proposition, the Homestead
men are to raise $500, 900 and the syn
dicate agrees to invest 81 ,000, 900 in the
cooperative plant. How much each
share will cost and what kind of plant
will be built is To be settled aI future
conference.

relieving him. The food in the lunch
basket was hen examined, acd the men
were aston she'd to find that each sand

Mr. Root said he was satisfied that his

the purpoS, of killing him. Root sew

wife, and since, he says, She has threat
ened To h' revengcd. He will prefer

WE believe Mr.. Blaine is likely to
prove a better prophet than any of these
Republicans. When he was brought
into this state in 1890 to aid the manly
man Delemater he closed his Philadel-

here not with the purpose of eulogizing
the administration, but to bear my tes

tion,' We have no doubt, will vote in a

The way to win success is to deserve
it. Only one state in the Union has a
larger army of Democrats than Pennsyl-
vania. That state is New York. And
not even New York has larger contin-
gent Of Independent Republicans who
are determined to fight Quayism. 1t
should be remembered that in the Kew
stone state there are 450, 900 Democratic
voters. And when we have so many
Republicans ready to join hands with us
shall we Sit down in helpless fear of the
Republican majority They had that
majority four years ago-about so, 900.
Where is it to-day? Ask the tens of
thousands of protected workingmen who
have found out the lie of protection
Ask the men of Pittsburg and OF Home
stead. Ask the president of the Mid
vale Steel Works. New York is ours and
Indiana is ours. Illinois and Massachu-
sets trenble in the balance of doubt.
Let Pennsylvania Democrats arouse
themselves for the redemption of the
Keystoae state.

The Johnstown Democrat Of Saturday

The Johnstown Democrat Of Saturday
Ssys:
The Johnstown weekly Tribune ar
ticle on the printing of the infamous
Republican circular, intended to deceive
its country readers, fhr unadulterated
mendacity has no equal. 1t Is the most
barefaced and stupid lie ever printed In
a Cambria county paper. The IH0""e
certainly has most contemplate
opinion OF the intelligence of Its country
readers.
The Democrat drove from his hole
and hiding place the culprt, W. ;.
Davis, the mailing clerk Of the johns
town postoftice, who was connected with
the writing and circulation OF the in
famous and disgraceful TRADE. When
the Tribune learned that Davis, Re
publican official, had been discovered as
one of the parties, Davis was forced To
sign card saying that he alone was
responsible for the circular, so that
other republicans should be shielded
from any Of the odium and disgrace.
This miserable creature Davis had to
assume this responsibility or lose his
position in the postOtfice. The poor
devil to save his place absolutely was
compelled By the Republican leaders tC
assume the whole responsibility after h'
had protested by everything that wa
holy and sacred that he knew nothin.
about il.
But it is by these kind of men ant
methods that the Republican party /
managed in this county. Will the goo'
people on next Tuesday show their con
demnation Of this infamous and dis
reputable kind of politics, and stop
now, or will they give these fomenter
of strife full swing, and drive every re
spectacle and decent man in the count
from pOlitscs? Will the people Civ
the present Republican ring the powe
to damn every foreign born citizen /
the country, and ostracise every ma
for his religious opinions?
Keep the Republican rascals out!
