Anbrosia.

Under the euphoniors title of
g ambrosia" whiskey selling by stealth
has been discovered at several county
fairs in Pennsylvania. The Carlisle
Herald speaks of ambrosia" " venders
at their fair who persisted in selling
it even after charges were formally
preferred against them for selling
liquor without a license. After the
warrant was duly served, and the suit
brought against them they secured
the necessary bail to prevent Interrupt
ton, and on the same day continued
their business at the old stand just as
though nothing had happened, and as
though the elixir of life was to be
found in "ambrosia." The district
attorney had rotion to get cross at
the avidity displayed on the fair
ground for " ambrosia."

The Political Struggle.

Wm..M. Singerly, of Philadelphia,
in a pointed little speech before
thousands of people, formally accept
ed the Democratic nomination for
governor on the 2oth ult. 1t is said
that at least 5000 eager listeners
packed the Academy. The Demo.
cratic organizations of the city turned
out in full force, while a few dis
affected, always to be found dis
gruntled until pacifed with promised
"pap," were conspicuous for their
absence.
Mr.. Singerly's acceptance of the
nomination was couched in the fol-
lowing remarks from him:
On behalf of my colleagues and for
myself, the honor done us by the De-
mocracy of Pennsylvania in naming
us as their candidates for the state
ticket and the kind terms in which
you have given us formal notice of
their action, are duly appreciated.
We accept the nominations and
indorse the platform approved by the
convention. Tariff reform, honest
money, frugal federal, state and mu-
nicipal government are aims worth
fighting for. When we shall be able
to divorce politics from business SO
as to let the people do their own bank
ing, trading, carrying and manufact-
uring, precisely as we allow them to
do their own farming, without meddle-
some discrimination for or against
any special interest, and only res
tricted by such few general laws as
are necessary for the public safety
and welfare there will be a return of
settled prosperity.
The people can take care of them
selves. Legislation which promotes
capitalistic aggregations, syndicates,
trust and political combinations for
the purpose of plunder, promotes
counter organizations of the plumb
cred, and disorganizes society. A
resumption of simpler Jeffersonian
methods, in which nothing shall be
undertaken by the government which
may be accomplished by individual
exertion, should be the basis of De-
mocratic effort. To this end let us
unitedly strive. When the fathers
declared the people were capable of |
self government they meant it in the
strictest sense Of the phrase.
Our best efforts will be given to |
make the campaign successful, and
we beseech you to give earnest at
tention to general organization and
special organization i'll your indi- |

Burglary and Murder.

James Brown, of Slatesville, N. c.,
hid in his store to catch thieves re-
Gently but was himself caught and
killed by the intruders who af.erward
escaped. 1t is not the safest plan to
take chances with burglars who are
always prepared to murder. The diff
ference between burglar and a muir
derer is but step and short one,
and it is the height of folly to attempt
to overpower them without hurting
them. They always know the risks
they run and are prepared for the
worst if cornered. To shoot first is
the only safe plan in dealing with
burglars. And then keep or shooting
until you relieve the law of all further
trouble about them. In dealing with
burglars tine law is entirely to lenient
in our opinion.

the trend and bearing Of their aims

Train Wrecklng.

On the charge Of causing a fatal
train wreck at Fontanet, Ind, in July,
four strikers were jailed at Terre
Haute. To hang such criminals up
on the presumption that they contem-
plated and premeditated murder would
in or opinion be right in equity if
not in law. And until something
more than the kind treatment, the
free lu..ch and the soft beds of our
priso..s are meted out to such crlmi-
nails train-wrecking, &c, is apt to
grow more frequent as the chilling
blasts of winter settle down upon us.
