Eye Glass Fakirs.

Sharpers are travelling through this
country selling SO called gold eye glass
es for amounts ranging from fifty cents
up to S.. The bunco man exhibits a
pair of spectacles which, he claims,
are gold framed. He says that he has
found them, and as they are of no use
to him he will dispose Of them at a
small price, finally selling them for
what he can get. The spectacles prove
to be made out of window glass, and
the frames washed with some gilt pre-
paration. Many farmers of this county
have fallen easy victims to the sharp
ers. One Bradford county man who
was in Elmira the other day claims he
saw two of the fellows there.-Brad-
ford ArguS.
One of these fakirs was run out of
this town one day last week, under
threats of arrest. They are thick all
over the country. Last Tuesday as
the writer was coming down the Le-
high Valley railroad, two of them
boarded the train, at Tunkhapnock,
and one of them began operation, on
us, and we might have had some
amusement with him if the conductor
had not ordered him not to play his
game on the train.
There is but one safe way for p eople
who need glasses, and that is to go to
some reliable optician and have the
eyes properly tested. The kind the
fakirs sell for $3.50 to $500, cost
nineteen cents, and are utterly worth
less.

SMALLPOX AT TEASDALE.

Smallpox has broken out at Lee or
Teasdale, between here and Glen
Lyon. There are now twelve well
developed cases. The disease came
from Danville and was carried by
William B, Williams who was called
to Danville to attend the funeral of
his mother. Upon the first appear
ance of the disease the doctor called
it "grip RASH" Before its danger be-
came known a number of people were
exposed. Supt. Williams, of the
Newport Coal Company, fearing that
there might be something more ser
ious the matter, notified the Overseer
of the Poor to investigate. He was
not able to do SO, but Supervisor Walp
acted in his stead. Drs. Santee, of
Wapwallopen, Davis, of Glen Lyon,
and McKeage, of this place, made an
examination and pronounced it small
pox. The patients were at once quar-
aptined and placed under armed SEN
tinels who had instructions to allow
none but authorized persons to go in
and out. The twelve cases are
located as follows:
William B. Williams, wife and child.
Edward Reese, wife and two child
rem.
William Burke and one child.
Mrs. George Cox and two children.

RANDOM REMARKS

Under the above title in a recent
issue of The COLUMBIAN, we read:
"That place the size of Bloomsburg
should be without free delivery OF
mail is. quite a reflection upon the
land OF the free" That any portion
of our American citizens are entitled
to such u privilege, to the exclusion of
all the rest, is not only reflection up
on the land of the free, but a base
usurpatlon of power of privileged
classes against the rights and immuni
ties of the masses. We boast of our
American liberties. But the table
that is spread for the feast of her citi
zens is so arranged that, while fish and
meat are devoured by the classes, the
bones and crumbs are thrown to the
masses. 1t is not only so in reference
to free mail delivery, but in every de-
partment that distinguishes the classes
above the masses. The masses of
our people to-day suffer as great
grievances against the privileged class
es as the masses suffered in the Colon.
ial times against the mother country.
But this is no fault of the Constitution
our s''hagna Charter" the fault
of those in whom we confide to make
our laws to apply equally to all in
their benefits but who not only be-
tray their trusts, but also their consti
tuency, whom they ought to serve in
stead of selling them to the plutocrats
like horde of slaves.
The mutterings and thunderings are
heard in every nook and corner the
signs are clear and unmistakable of
the coming storm, and one of the
greatest revolutions of the age, blood
less we hope) will burst upon the
country and sweep to oblivion the dis
tinctlon OF privileges between the
classes and the masses as effectually
as 1t did in the war of the late rebel
hon between master and slave. If a
citizen anywhere in the United States
Is entitled to any certain privilege,
another citizen anywhere else in the
United States is entitled to the same
privilege, regardless of ''race or color,
or previous condition of servitude. |
believe that law and privilege should
Apply equally to all. And why should
they apply to some to the exclusion
OF Others because of the condition of
convenience We might as well have
two governments, one 10 apply to one
class of citizens and the other to apply
to other classes. The government de.
mands the same allegiance from the
rural people as she demands from the
city people, and why should the govern
ment not serve them in like manner
and without partiality9
J.. c. WENNER.
The point of the correspondent is
well taken by the writer of "Random
Remarks" referred to, since he is in
entire sympathy with the suffering
masses as against the luxuriating class.
es. And yet he greatly fears the time
will never come while we are in this
vale of tears, whether in the land of
the free, or elsewhere, when class dis.
tinctions will not prevail to greater or
less extent. We can only hope to
have foretaste here of heaven by en-
deavoring to approximate equity and
exact fairness. Assist. Ed.

A Fine Thing.

Hon Tom Watson. of Georgia, un-

writes thus of Carlisle.
1t is glorious thing to be a cabi-
net officer.
Take Mr.. Carlisle. for instance: he
not only has household servants who
are paid out of the public treasury
but the horses the family drives are
paid for by the taxpayers and fed
at the Treasury stables.
Regnard Green, the coachman to
Mr.. Carlisle's household gets $40
per year. Charles Edmondson. and
Charles Morgan, butler and footman
get s72O, and $500 per year. They
serve Mr.. Carlisle family and render
no service to the administration. but,
ali tie same, they are paid out of the
public funds, and their names appear
on the department rolls as, ''Messen-
gers.
Is there any law for supplying
officers VITA servants. horses etc, at
the public expenses?
No whatever. They do it simply
because they have the power to do
it. Tney feel safe in supplying them
selves with all the good things of
