HARD TIMES.

!. What strikes the casual visitor OF
Bloomsburg hardest in these "hard
times" is the great number of new
buildings looming in sight, and the
general business activity. Were the
Republican strongholds thus willing to
strike at hard times much, indeed, of
our business depression, " because Of
anticipated tariff tinkering," would be
avcrted. To our mind there is not
the least doubt about this. 1t is like
the question of resuming specie pay
ment IN the days Of Horace Greeley.
The old man helped our statesmen out
Of their dilemma by telling them in
the Tribune that the way to resume
specie payment was just simply to re-
sumo. So we believe it to be with
nine. tenths of our suspended auto
cratic business plants that have here.

How so1 Why. by either through as
sisting In formulating the tariff laws, or
lowering wages of employees, or else
through the importation Of cheap for
eign labor There is no denying the
power of the American plutocrat. So
in the language of Greeley we would
say to those jealous political patriots
who would stagnate business for poll
tical effect, the way to resume business
is to resume. And should labor get
the better of capital through the re-
sumption, it will be the first time in
the history Of our Government when
capital could not manage to manipu-
late tariff legislation far enough to
make business profitable to home man.

Since 1871 the Grand Army Of the
Republic has expended near $4,000
600 in the relief and burial of COM
rades. This signifies that the soldiers
are rapidly dying, and that the vexed
pension question will soon settle itself.
If pensions were confined to soldiers
proper, and their widows and orphans,
not near so much money would be
needed and, if needed, it would be
paid ungrudgingly. tits the vast sum
given so.called "dependent parents,
ct dl., and the absorbing Of money the
soldier proper should have that, justi-
fies complaint. While " dependent
parents" who never smelled war pow
der and never intended to, have all
been pensioned long ago, soldiers prop
er are dying daily with claims still un-
settled. We used TO think politics
had no influence upon a pension claim,
but we have got over that train of
thought.

EAST BENTON.

Last Tuesday night there was a
magnificent display of "Aurora Bor-
calls" The phenomenon was beauti-
full and realistic in the extreme.
Whether caused by atmospheric con-
dtions or by electric currents may not
be known, but the heavens had a ma
jestic and grand appearance. From
all points of the northern hemisphere
of the sky there shot from the horizon
to the zenith great volumes and sheets
of light, flashing like continuous light
ming, looking to all intents as though
the northern universe was ablaze, the
heat shooting in al directions like the
heat out of a furnace. These great
volumes of shooting light appeared
like great sheets of misty clouds run
ming with lightning speed to the zenith
OF the heavens. There is no question
as to the phenomenon-that really ap-
peared the question is, was it a re.
ality, or only an appartion ? Were
those flashes or heats of shooting light
great waves of atmospheric disturban.
ces, or did they emanate from great
electric belt in the far off universe =?
At all events we watched the grand
display for nearly an hour with min
gled wonder and admiration.
The recent cold snap not only
checked the growth of vegetation but
gave the farmers also a back-set in
their business operations.
Our public schools will not close for
some time yet as there was a measley
time among nearly all the districts.
Smallpox seems to have gained a
foothold in many localities. 1t is
hoped that the rural districts will not
be infested with the loathesome dis
ease.
Road supervisors are beginning to
put the roads in good order.
There seems to have been some
misunderstanding about the Ammer-
man bridge across Fishingcreek. 1t
has been neglected of the necessary
repairs, it would seem. Well, SO long
as there are no "holes" in the bottom,
no body will be sued for damages.
"Let the band play"
The Coxey experiment will be
watched with amusing interest.
The fitting season has ended and
we are now partially surrounded with
new neighbors.
The long winter nights have short
ened and among the farmers politics
must now be laid aside until they get
another crop ready for the market.
But please don't forget your Democ-
racy and tariff reform.
1t is said that Berwick, Mifflin,
Espy and Catawissa want free bridges.
l suggest that we arch the river from
the Montour county line to the Luz
erne county line and "let the band
play all the time" You know Coxey
has gone to Washington and when he
returns his army may be large and it
may want to cross the river at every
point.
There will be county bridge across
Raven creek at w. H. Smiths farm.
A free bridge, of course, after we get
our taxes paid. Yes, bridge the river,
too. Columbia county is Democratic,
and Democracy believes in free trade,
free bridges and freedom.

AoAlNsT CREMATION.
New AMI Interesting Argument Pr-
sented by Sir francis Haden.

sented by Sir Francis Haden.
II cannot bo said that cremation has
gained many converts during tho last
few years. In spite Of the one great ar.
gument adduced in its favor-namely,
that earth burial is insanitary--people
have gone on burying their dead in the
old way. Tho hypenic objection 10
earth burial has been ignored rather
than combated--in fact, many intelli-
gent people who would still insist on
the old mode OF burial in the case OF
their own relatives would nevertheless
admit that the contention Of the crerna-
tionists rests on basis of fact.
But in an address the other day ut
meeting Of the British Institute Of Pub
lie Health Sir Francis Seymour Haden
took issue with tho cremationists on
that very point He declared in the
strongest language that earth burial, IL
properly conducted, can never eudanger
the health of the living, and carried the
war into Africa by asserting that crema-
tion is itself ipsanitary, and therefore
so serious a menace TO the public health
that il ought to be prohibited by law.
The earth, he maintained, is the one
great purifier and renovator There re-
sides in the soil the chemical power OF
| forming new and innocuous combina-
tions out Of the poisonous and miasmatic
substances buried in it, Not only that,
but the earth needs to be enriched by
the restoration 10 IL of dead matter,
whose substance was drawn from it by
the protoplasmio energy of life. So
| that. il all the effote residuum of the
world were TO bo burned, tho earth
would soon be deprived, according to
Sir Francis Of the chemical elements
that support life, and all life would
cease.
II would perhaps be the wisest course
for outsiders to let the distinguished
English scientist and the oremationists
fight this question out, as indeed i'll all
likelihood they will. 1t is pertinent 10
observe. however, that it is not the
purely speculative question that it may
seem TO be at first. 1t has practical
application as well. II tho contention OF
Sir Seymour Haden is true then the
system of burning garbage, 20 frequent
ly advocated and in many cities adopt
ed, is unwise, for it is destroying valu
able nutrient clements that ought to b,
returned to the soil. On the came theory
the practice Of throwing the garbage
into the sea, in vogue in this city, il
even more vicious, so far as its effect OF
the soil il concerned. As will be seen
therefore, the question here raised is ont
of the greatest practical interest and i'm
portance and should be carefully con
sidered by all cities that contemplate
the burning of their garbage. -Nev
