Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1893-04-13
From Chief fStatistician Brock, of the Treas
ury Department..


] believe that in 1903 we will have the
most perfect republican form of govern
ment In the United States that was ever
conceived in the minds of the wisest states
men, and the social condition of the people
will be such that there will be no suffering
from the deprivation of The necessities of
life. All will have happy homes. Vice and
immortality will largely If not altogether
have ceased to exist. There will be not
only great intellectual but very great moral
advancement. We are making wonderful
strides In that direction now. There will
be less government than there is now, and
it will be more simple.
There Is no likelihood that the railroads
and telegraphs will ever be managed by the
state, for the reason that when the state
takes charge of railroads and telegraphs
there would be the same reason that the
government should take charge of all other
enterprises which are now owned and con-
trolled by individuals, such as street car
lines, manufactures, steamship lines, farms
Individual enterprise and opportunities
would largely cease. There would be no
incentive, or comparatively none, for In
Sention or for individual effort of any kind.
All citizens would simply become wards of
the nation and would receive their portions
from the state and would return to inaction
or indolent effort.
Probably the government will then own
and control all the products of our gold
and silver mines, and they will be held by
the government, as now, for the purpose of
redeeming the paper obligations of the gov
ernment, although such redemption will
largely be unnecessary for the reason that
there will be such stability In our financial
laws that the people will not question the
value OF any of the obligations of the gov
ernment.
The people by this time will have become
educated to such an extent that the vice Of
intemperance will largely cease, saloons or
public drinking places will probably no
longer exist, and stimulants Of any kind, If
used at all, will probably be only seen in
the family.
Improved methods of treatment for the
confinement and punishment Of criminals
will be inaugurated and much more atten-
tion be given to their reformation than to
their punishment.
Wealth undoubtedly will be much more
evenly distributed. There will be great COM
fort and prosperity with the masses as well.
The condition Of the laboring classes will
be less dependent and greatly improved,
and there will be more friendly relations
existing between employers and the en-
ployees, better understanding and greater
equality.
Methods Of agriculture will be such and
the improvement in agricultural machinery
SO great that all the immense population
Of 1903 will be amply provided for, and

REMNANTS.
Another Day of Extraordinary Values

This Remnant Day for several years has
been an established institution here. But
who would have thought that it would attain
such vast proportions and become wide and
favorably known. To prevent accumulations
was and is its only object. Great price reduc,
tions must be made on every article to further
this object. We advertise everything just as
it is-quantity, condition, original price, re-
duced price, giving detailed description as far
as possible, and this Remnant Day explains
why you are always asked to look at fresh,
scasonable, attractive merchandise at all times
here.
All goods that unavoidably get soiled,
married, scratched, and otherwise defaced
from handling and displaying-thesc arc ali
termed rcnpants-and there are stacks and
piles Of such things every week. Remnants
are by no means always obsolete styles or
damaged goods-they are often the ''plumed
knights of merchandise
'Short Lengths" odd Sizes ''lroken
Lines" Small Lots Sc, that become so
quickly, bocaGsc novel, beautiful, rich, low

piece of Dress Stuff Lace, Ribbon, Linen, or
any article can have is to become remnant
early in life. But fragments aud remainders
must go. Ri,hneoo ana beauty cannot save
them.
In BLACK and COLoRED DRESS GOODS
you can find many suitable lengths of the
very latest Spring Fabrics for an Easter Gown.

A DEADLY HAND GRAsP.-The warm
grasp of friendly hand led to the
death of aged Dennis O'Leary, who was
buried at Bristol, Pa, Wednesday. For
some time past the venerable gentle,
man had made his home with friends in
Boston, although a resident of Bristol.
While strolling through Boston park
few days ago O'Leary, who recently
celebrated his 93rd birthday, was stop
ped by young and robust friend, who
grasped his hand and gave it a warm,
hearty squeeze. In doing so he sank
his finger nails into the ball ofO' Leary's
hand. Although the skin was cut
through and few drops Of blood APP
peared, no attention was paid TO the
wound until the muscles Of the hand
became very sore-so sore, in fact, that
the fingers could be bent only with
difficulty. A day later the muscles of
the hand became rigid and the member
began to swell. Black rings appeared
under the old mans finger nails and the
skin on the back of his hand became
mottled. The swelling increased from
hour to hour until OLeary's arm and
shoulders were twice their normal size.
and as the swelling grew the pain in
creased.
Medical aid, the best that could be
had in Boston, WA summoned as soon
as it appeared that the wound was Sc
rious; but the blood poisoning had adj
vanccd so far and SO quickly that moth
ing could be done except to alleviate
the great suffering of the patient. On
account of his extreme old age amputa-
ton of the arm or even the hand would
probably have proved fatal, but befo: &
the physicians in attendance could fl
nally decide upon course the old gen
tlemans condition became so grave that
an operation of any kind was simply
out ofthe question. His death followed
in q short time,
