body of Democracy sprinkled with
Republicans of Sullivan county, as
sembled in Garey's Hall in Dushore
boro. to hear the result of the con-
test for nominations by Democracy
to the various Offices. The interest
was mostly centered upon the Com
missioner contest and many were
the predictions thereon. The
agony of the office seekers, was soon
over, however, on the convenirg Of
the convention as the session was
of short duration.
E. j. Mullen, chairman of the
Standing Committee, called the con-
vention to order, after which Hon.
B. S. Collins of Dushore, was made
chairman and upon taking his seat
addressed the convention in q neat
little speech. Bryan thanked the
convention for the honor granted
him of presiding over the first po-
litical convention held in the metrop-
oils of the county etc.
Hon. Russell Karns of Laporte
and Michael Mcdonald, lst of
Cherry, were elected vice presidents
and @. e. Jackson of Bernice, secre-
tary and D. M. Taylor of Muncy
Valley and George Musselman of
Lopez, assistant secretaries. With
the officers of the convention elect
ed the calling of the roll of delegates
was next in order. Each precinct
was represented by its quota OF
standard bearers. The Colley repre-
sentatives, however, came in trife
late, but they were recognized and
their names placed on the list.
A committee on resolutions was
appointed by the chairman. They
were as follows: E. j. Mullen, of
Dushore R. D. Lancaster, Forks
vile and Lorenz Phager of Jami-
son City. The committee, reported
praises to Grover Cleveland for the
good Democratic times that we are
enjoying etc., etc. The resolutions of
course, were adopted as read, but
not very enthusiastically for which
the majority of the Democrats pres
ent are entitled to much credit.
The boys know what good times
are. They have lived under Re-
publican administration and can't
be fooled. They are only getting
IL and Is cents pound for their
wool to-day. Last year they got
30 cents pound for it. The farm
ers notice the difference. Well,
with the resolutions read nomina-
tions were declared in order.
The first on the list was man to
handle the county's cash box. r.
d. Lancaster Esq, with neat little
speech nominated A. l.. Smith of
Forksville. The nomination of Mr..
Smith was seconded by several dele
gates. Mr.. Pfager of Jaminson
nominated j. II. Spencer of Laporte.
Before ballot was taken, however,
Mr.. Spencer's name was withdrawn
and Mr.. Smith was made the nominee
by acclamation.
The nomination of County Com
missioners were next on the pro.
CRANE. They were nominated as
follows Gabriel Litzelman of
Cherry; John H. Farrell of Du-
shore; Henry Ritchlin of Forks and
Philip Secules, of Shrewsbury.
The first attempt to take ballot
was failure and the secretaries be-
gan over again.

A REAL DANGER.

The recent failure Of two gigantic
loan companies, the Lombard invest
.ment Go, and the Jarvis-C Conklin mort,
gage Co, brings home to US q danger
which, ii seems to the PIONEER, il
imminent and real. We refer to the
fact that these companies, in COM
mon with some others Of the same
nature and all foreign companies, hold
mortgages on American real estate
aggregating hundreds Of millions Of
dollars, payment Of which will doubt
less be forced Immediately on coming
due. While some Of these viii be
paid of by the owners Of the land, i
IS safe TO say that = very large major
isy OF them will eventually pass into
the hands Of these foreign corporatiohs..
Most Of these mortgages are on farm
lands, as the Lombards loaned but lit

The following from the Bismarck
Settler contains some strong language
but We believe it to be justified by the
facts. No one can deny the existence
of "Millers Association" nor the
fact that the price of -four is much
higher than the price of wheat war
rants. But few days since it took
ten bushels of No / hard wheat to buy
a barrel of -four, yet five bushels Of
such grain will make that much -four
Of the very. best quality. 1t will be
seen by this that the millers have
a clear bushel of wheat for every bush
el they grind for the farmer, in add
ition to the bran, ETC., which is sup
posed to pay for grinding. Following
is the article referred to:
Is there any way in which our farm
ers and the consumers of the produce
of wheat can get relief from the un-
consionable exactions and extortions
of the milling octopus of this state?
The Settler has contained pages Of
matter showing up this great trust.
Laws have been passed which were in
tended to protect our people against
trusts and combinations of this char
acter. We have officers elected who
are especially charged with the execu-
tion of these laws, and yet the farmers
are plundered to enrich a great corpora
tion. We read of mills in the eastern
part of the state that give the farmer
thirty pounds of flour, five pounds of
shorts and ten pounds of bran for one
bushel Of wheat, while our Burleigh
county farmer can buy with the price
of bushel of wheat, only twenty and
one half pounds of -four without any
shorts or bran, making. the difference
against our farmer nine and one half
pounds of -four, five pounds of shorts
and ten pounds Of bran on single
bushsl Of wheat. Talk about the rob-
ber tariff, and. the cheap dollar, when
our people are subject to this bare
faced robbery in the very face of the
law. What if our attorney general
would lay by the silver question long
enough o secure proper evidence and
then tackle this octopus that has the
gall to raise the price of -four in Bis.

atively scarce-much searcer than they
should be. In "Goldenf Days" however,

homes are in danger from this and like
sources. There is danger in the ac-
cumulation of these vast tracts of land
under the management of few per-
sons and there is a double danger in
the fact that those persons are foreign
ers. Yet in view Of these facts, our
Legislators go right along, doing the
will of the money power, making it as
hard as possible on the one hand to
keep out of debt, and % the other as
easy as possible to fget into debt.
Once in the shackles, atheir doom is

Light

The grandest sentence in any book in
the world is this. in HOY writ: And God
said, let,there be light. and there was
light" Natural science can tell you in
detail absolutely indispensable light is to
continuance of any form of life on our
globe. 1t is not the purpose of this para
graph, how ever to discourse upon the
benefits of natural light. but to present
some curious facts connected with it, and
the numerous artificial means of illumina-
ton, invented by ingenuity of man. The
ancients thought that objects were made
visible by something projected from the
eye, and it was not until about $50 before
the Christian Era that men began to ask
Why can we not see in darkness? 1t
then dawned upon somebody that light
falling upon an object was what made it
visible, and that the eye was only
machine for receiving the rays of light and
tranmitting to the brain the impressions
they give as to the size, shape and colort
of external things. The first artificial ligh
was probably a burning brand-then
reed saturated in oil, then, the tallow dip,
the candle, the oil lamp, tine kerosene
lamp, gas, and last and greatest, electric
light Intellectual light is another kind
the light needed to guide our actions,
and that is furnished by the experience of
ourselves or others. Ifyou want light on
the subject of travel, everybody's expert
ence is clear as the sun that the Burlington
Route is the best for all travellers. For
information, tickets, maps. etc, address

Senator Hansbrough sends US copy
of his speech on the finance issues,
and asks that We publish it. Now it
is most too long to publish in full but
the senator wants place for silver
and so do we. His speech is well got

never criticised the position he takes
but we did once-criticise him for
not taking any position. It's all right
now though.

Animals That Could Live in Fire.

The Icelanders declare that they have
a small quadruped about the siz' OF u
rabbit which habitually makes its home
in the crater OF Hecla, sporting aud
rearing its young in the molten lava.
When Cyprus was the centre of the
copper industry it Is asserted that four
footed animal with wings lived in the
hottest furnaces among the fire, and,
furthermore, that it would die instantly
upon being removed from its natural
element, the flames.
The salalnander of old was also
creature which did not dread the hire.
Some say that it could eat fire and spit
flames Others that its breath would ignlte
all combustibles. Pliny says "rhis
animal is SO intensely cold as to extln-
guish fire by its contact, in the same way
that ice doth. -
Aristotle believed that some creatures
were capable Of supporting life even
though confined to the devouring ele-
ment. He says "In Cyprus. when the
manufacturers of chalcltis Qime) burn 1t
many days in the dre, winged creature,
something larger than Il great fly, is seen
emerging from the stone and leapins
and walking about in the fire. These
creatures perish Immediately upon being
removed from the furnace. "-St. Louis

The clerks are perpetually haunted by
dread lest they are watched by detec-
tectives of the Secret Service. That sort
of thing is sometimes done, but only
rarely and on request of asuperlor cfflcer
who suspects that something is wrong.
If man who occupies responsible
position gets to drinking and "playlng
the races" it may be thought worth
while to have him shadowed for time,
with view to finding out what his
habits are. If Government employe IS
dissipated his clearinghouse keeper,
washerwoman and tradesman are apt to
suffer, and they do not hesitate to ad-
dress complaints to the Department. Ii
such appeals come in so frequently as to
be annoying an investigation follows.
Oddly enough, the clerk who misbehaves
in such ways is usually not new man,
but an old hand who feels sure OF BIZ

A paper. published in Saigon, in
French Cochin China, gives an account
OF singular experiment recently made
in that colony with Il new means of mo-
tive power. A French resident at the
town of Hatien, a port on the Gult OF
Siam, conceived the idea that it would
be perfectly practicable to make the I'M
mense turtles, which are not uncommon
in those parts, and which swim with no
little rapidity, do service in drawing the
small fishing boats. He purchased two
large turtles at cost of S25, and fitted
them out with harness and reins. Then
he obtained a light, OPEN boat, about
fifteen feet long, and attached his turtles
to it by means of traces. Holding his
reins fast, he set out on little trial voy'
age with the turtle team. The creatures
padded along very prettily, at rate
somewhat exceeding the ordinary walk
ing of a man. AS they directed theii
course toward the open sea, and as the
weather was calm and beautiful, and the
voyage exceedingly pleasant, it did not
occur to the Frenchman to make any
very thorough test of his ability to guide
the animals. Much delighted, indeed,
with the success of his experiment, he
kept on and on, until he presently noted
that the sun was setting. The interested
navigator then attempted to turn his
team about, but the turtles resisted any
such movement. They had evidently
made up their minds to so to sea, and
thew would not be dissuaded from their
purpose. The driver pulled his relns un'
till he upset his turtles in the water; but
as often as they regained the use oil their
fiippers, they set out again iof the
middle of the sea. Night settled down
rapidly. Luckily the inventor oil the
new meaus of marine traction had
brought with him pair of oars, and as
a last resort he took knife, cut his tugs
and let his sea steeds, harness, reins ana
all, 90 their way. Then he rowed oack
laboriously to his village, lamentlng MS
expenditure on the turtles, and resolving
not to try any further experiments IN
navigation. New York Dispatch.

Green Goggles for Cows.

Tho practical value of green goggles
for cows to prevent snow blindness is
we'll understood on the American and
Russian plains. The work of opticians
for other animals is more recent de-
velopment. We now have short sighted
horses and dogs which wear spectacles
and appreciate highly the advantage OF
thus being enabled to recognize friends
and surroundings which were formerly
indistinct. The owner of near sighted
horse which has spectacles fastened on
the headstall says the animal objects
even to gong out to pasture without his
glasses. The horse was little startled
when they were first put on, but clearly
manifested his delight when he fully re-
allied their benefit. If turned out to

without waiting for dinner, to catch the
train which, rushing up the 200 miles to
London, would get her there on time to
meet the directors before business hours

at the quiet, self-possessed young girl,
travelling alone, and proving her ability
to do so, she was too earnest to heed

was met by Mr.. Cruikshank, into whose
hands she gladly delivered the so.muci
desired proxies.
The hour was little late for arriving
at the office; but, feeling that the delay
was excusable under the circumstances
Stella presented herself at her desk, as
fresh and serene as If she had left it only
the day before. Another young woman
was occupying her chair. Stella turned
