The Prairies.

Ye boundless prairies of the westl
OF all earth's lands love you best.
Your grassy hills and fiow'ry dells
Are gentle as the oceans swells.
They stretch away till skies descend
And with your line of beauty blend,
And all thor sunlit glories rest
Upon the prairies of the west.
The gentle zephyrs as they pass
Are softly whispering to the grass
OF tribes now sleeping meath the sod
Which once your velvet hillocks trod.
l love in solitude to go
Where roamed the deer and buffalo,
And where the plow has not distressed
The virgin prairies Of the west
No walled-in mountain home for me,
But prairies, endless, broad and free,
That stretch in beauty all around,
Unclaimed, unbroken and profound
Above, the blue; below, the green;
Unbending beauty spread between.
OF all earth's lands love you best
Ye boundless prairies Of the westi

BASE BALL.

There has been no new developments
regarding the right of other clubs to use
the park here when it is not being used
by the Freeland club. The rumors Of
trouble arising from last Sundays game

settled the matter is untrue. They are
prepared for any proceedings that may
be taken against them or any of the
members.
The Fearnots will play at Drifton

GOING TO THE FAIR?
Now Is the Time, and the Readings
"Scenic Route" the Way.

Now Is the Time, and the Readings
"Scenic Route" the Way.
Stories of Chicagoan rapacty, added
to the admitted incompleteness of many
of the exhibits, detracted greatly from
the success of the Worlds fair during its
initial month, and the attendance, while
enormous, fell far short of anticipations.
Now, however, no one need be deferred
from visiting the exposition by fears of
extortion, or by misgivings as to seeing
the great show in its entirety. The
Chicagoese have regained their senses,
and reasonable prices again prevail.
The buildings are finished, the exhibits
are all in place, and the wonderful ag-
gregation of the world S greatest achieve
ments can be seen to vastly better ad-
vantage just at present than at later
period when the rush shall have set in.
A favorite route to Chicago from the
eastern and middle states is over the
"Scenic' Lehigh Valley division of the
Reading Railroad system, by way of
Niagara Falls or Buffalo. This line
traverses region exceedingly rich in
picturesque scenery. Indeed, it may be
questioned whether in all America
journey of the same extent will afford to
the lover of the beautiful so many and
so diveese and charming view of nature
in her loveliest forms.
The traveller from east to west by the
''Scenic Lehigh Valley Route" passes
through the sublimely beautiful scenery
of the Lehigh Valley, into and over vast
ranges of sky-towering mountains,
through the song-famed, romantic and
beautiful Vale of Wyoming, the
smiling Susquehanna valley, and on
through the famous lake region of New
York state to Buffalo or Niagara Falls,
whence any one of several diverging
lines will convey him to the World fair
city on Lake Michigan. Aside from the
scenic beauties Of the Reading Lehigh
Valley route, the line is perfect in con-
struction and equipment, the trains
being composed of magnificent coaches
and parlor and sleeping cars and supplied
with all conYeniences and every approv-
ed appliance for safety and comfort.
From New York and from Philadel-
phia, with connections from every
direction at numerous junction points,
Pullman parlor and sleeping cars are
run through, without change, to Chicago
those going by way of Niagara Falls
passing through Canada over the Grand
Trunk and Chicago & Grand Trunk
Railways, while the cars going Wis
Buffalo reach Chicoga over the Nicke
Plate Line.
Passengers taking the Reading Route
have the choice of number of lines il
addition to these, either going or return
ing. The fares offered by the Reading
are as low as by any other route-indeed
in most instances, they are lower
There are now four through trains, il
either direction, every day, and full

Australi an Ballot,

There has been number of changes
in the Australian ballot law which may
tend to confuse voters. But if one of
three simple directions be followed, no
one need make mistake.
The ballot will now be printed in
three columns representing the three
political parties; at the head of each
ticket will be the name of the party,
together with circle.
1st.-If you wish to vote straight
ticket, simply place cross (X) in the
circle at the top Of your ticket, with
the rubber stamp which will be pro-
vided for each precinct.
2.-If you wish to vote party tick
ct with the exception Of few names
first select your ticket, and with pencil
scratch the name of the candidate OF
candidates to whom you object. Then
stamp cross (X) in the circle at the
top of your ticket, also opposite the
name of the candidate, or candidates
you wish to vote for and not the ones
you erased.
3.-Vote as you did last year by
stamping a cross (X) opposite the
name of each candidate for whom you
wish to vote and your vote will be
counted all right.

Changing Their Base.

While free coinage ofsilver contlnu-
ed in India the advocates of that poll
cy in this country insisted that the
British dealers bought bullion, coined
it, bought wheat in India and sold for
gold in England, realizing in addition
to ordinary profits the difference be-
tween the price of bullion and the face
value of the rupee. On that assump-
tion they tried to persuade our wheat
growers that such practice of the Brit.
ish dealers was the reason of low prices
in this country, and offered free coin
age of silver as cure. Wheat being
off in price during the last Presidential
campaign this plea was urged with
great force by the populists and no
doubt influenced many voters. Ad-
mitting for the moment that such ma
nipulation could be, we still failed be
see how the extension Of the scope of
such transactions to this country could
be curative. Now, however, free COIN
age in India has ceased, and if such a
practice ever existed it does not now,
but the price of wheat has not ad-
vanced, it has declined and we need
not therefore stop to con slider the fall
lacy of the argument used. Here was
a theory all knocked into pi by con-
ditlon, and it was the principal one
relied on to fire the wheat producers
heart and blind him to the undisputed
benefit that would result to the already
wealthy silver barons-and the "toll-
ing masses" had been taught that large
wealth getting was a crime. So the
condition staring them in the face put
an end to the old theory and all the
accumulated drip from their well work
ed mouths was dumped to be heard no
more forever But they made new
discovery, changed their base, and
though it lacked the surface plausibil-
ity OF the discarded theory it in turn is
being worked for more than it is worth.
Now, the price of wheat-they assume
depends on the price Of silver bullion,
and they exhibit parallel columns of
the two in proof. But they might
have substituted IRON, steel, copper,
aluminium, wagons, buggies, bank ex-
change or most any product of shop
or farm and it would have answered
as we'll in the place of silver. They
might have substituted populist chin,
which held as commodity has fallen
in price faster than anything we think
of now. Bullion is commodity and
cannot measure other commodities, and
they make no attempt to show how ii
can. One might as consistently as
sumo that bullion is measured by
wheat and the table of prices could be
utilized as well that way as any other
But the most notable of all, they cum,
ningly omit to give comparative prices
at time when we had free coinage al
ratio of Is. to 1, yet in the brief space
of five years wheat dropped from $2.2s
to 20 cents. But we do not now in
tend to discuss the assumption, the
congressional discussion has riddled i,
and we await the next change of base
with nominal curiosity.

THE wealthiest the most intelligent,
the best governed nations have the gold
standard, and an abundance of silver
money for daily expenditures. Some
less enlightened nations have the silver
standard, while few are yet trying the
impossible by a declaration that the
two metals are one standard. But all
the gold and silver of the world not
consumed IN the arts IS used as money.
1t reminds one of "the woman who ate
no fat and the man who ate no lean,
but between the two they licked the
platter clean.'
