THE CANAL BOOMER.

The people who went to hear a po-
litical speech at Raleigh from an ex-
Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania
the other day must have been sadly
disappointed, After a few words it
was clear that the Tex Governor" was
there, not in the interest of party or
public success, but to proclaim the
virtues Of the Nicaragua canal schemel
He made it plain as day that the canal
would be proof against all possible
evils; and that it only wanted the gov
eminent to leEd it influence with
500, 600, 600 in bonds! The lex Gov
ernor, as he was advertised, would do
well as a real estate agent, but as a
Nicaragua canal boomer he is almost
too sanguine. He promises too much;
and, you know, promises are not going
for @ great deal in these parts Of late.
The Uaitod States government will
make a mistake that has lately been
paralleled in France, when it lends its
influence to any private affair for any
pun POcOs NO III hOU AhO" SI4OuS
about engineering to speak of the pos
sibility Of successful prosecution Of the
work; but we DO know that it is none
Of u governments business so long
as it is owned by a private stock com
pany whose bonds are sadly in need Of
substantial bolstering, If the United
States desires to cut the canal, let it
buy the company out. There is pros
pect OF nothing better than enormous
corruption and persistent failure 50
long as g government supplies the
money for private companies to squall-
der. France and De Les5eps and desc
late Panama cry out against Mr.. Black,
cry out So loudly, too, that none but
those who will not hear can mistake
It's tone.
The audacity Of the man, taking sd
vantage Of the occasion, and coming
all tho way from Pennsylvania for the
purpose, Ii only equalIed by the child
like gullbility Of those who allowed
the body to endorse the scheme

principles of the Peoples party Of the
State and National platform, together
with these demands:
Cd That whereas, by a special act of
the Legislature there has been several
hundred dollars of tax money levied
and collected on the property of and
from the taxpayers of Montgomery
county, and as some of said amounts
is still in the hands of the treasurer,
therefore we demand it paid on the in
debtedness Of the county or paid back
to the tax payers from whom it was
collected.
% We disapprove Of the expensive
jail that is being forced on us as a
county, and claim it unreasonable to
put such an expensive jail on IS while
we are in debt, and we claim that such
a jail could have been built for much
less money. Also that some of u
citizens could have put up such a jail
without letting it out secretly to a
Yankee.
81 That we regard our present sys-
tenn of county government as being
unjust and causing a great deal of I'M
fair means being used, and giving too
much power to a few while the people
car have no hearing.
Therefore we demand the laws so
changed that the justice Of the peace,
county commissioners, superintendent
Of public instruction, county board Of
education, public school committeeman
and all others who hold any office or
place of trust shall be elected by the
people. Also, the town government be
run so as to give the citizens a chance
of ~electing the officers.
az We demand that all salaries and
fees of all our public officers be reduced
at least 25 per cent. till we can get
more money in circulation.
o. We demand that all the money
that is collected as a public school fund
be put in the public schools and all
the unnecessary expenses be avoided,
and the amount appropriated to the
University CT North Carolina be ap-
piled to the public schools Of the State.
e. We denounce the last Legislature
as being a wicked and extortionate
one, and claim that it proved itself to
be such an one by taking $500 of the
dublic fund and giving it away in a
public ball, or legislative dance, or Raj
eigh dude dance, or whatever it may
be called. J. W. DIXON, Chm'n,

apples are a special crop, one grower
thinned off nearly three quarters of the
fruit from his trees last year. He got
just as many apples in bushels, Gs com-
pared with previous years, and also re-
ceived double the market price, as the
fruit was superior to any ever before

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-11-08

DR.. Devcre, prominent resid ent of Pittston,
has had narrow escape from death. Last
week he attended patient who was sick with
maglignant attlck of dipthera. One day he
scratched the end of one of his thumbs, but not
enough to break the skin. He paid no atten-
ton to the scratch and called on his dipthera
patient and gave the usual treatment. In some
way diptheritic microbe lodged on the scratch
In few hours the thumb began to throb and
beat and then began to pain severely. With
the pain came swelling, and the entire thumb
was soon swollen to more than double its
original size, and the pain began to spread
through the entire arm.
The doctor found it was blood poisoning of
the worst kind, and was at last compelled to
remain in the house. He suffered terrible
agony for several days and it required great
deal of expert medical attendance to check the
further spreading of the poison and pain. The
poison was so yirulent that the top of the
thumb was eaten away and the bone exposed

GEN. CHARLES W. LIE aENDRE.

Gen. LIE Gendre did much both to help
the milkado to win, and then to change
his disposition toward foreigners.
Some four or five years ago the general
began to take great interest in the
complicated Corean questions, and he
left Japan to go to Seoul as vice min
lister of the home affairs of Corea. Ever
since then he has been struggling In
the most magnificent way to keep
Corea free from the iron claws of the
Japanese, Chinese and Russians, and
SO far he has succeeded. He must
doubtless be taking most active part
in the events now taking place. Once.
according to an amusing story which
is related of the general. he was hav-
ing hot discussion with some Chinese
officials and in spite of all his efforts
he could not obtain from them what he
wanted. To all he had to say the Chi
nese would answer: I'VE have ex-
pressed our masters will"
"Your masterl Your masterl" at
last shouted the general, very angrily.
"Can he do this, your master2" And
taking out his glass eye for he lost one
eye during the American civil war;, he
threw it in the air, caught 1t again,
quickly put it back in its place and
looked at the terrified Cinnamon. OF
course they did not know that the eye
was glass, having never heard of such
a thing, and they became SO terribly
afraid Of man who had such power
that they quickly agreed to everything
he wished.

UPPER LEHlGH NOTES.

The greatest compliment that could be given
candidate for political honors in Luzerne
county was bestowed upon Congressman-elect
John Leisenring by the voters of this place on
Tuesday. Not IA solitary vote was cast for his
opponent, Mr.. Hines, while Mr.. Leisenring
polled ll5. The fact that even the watchers
and board did not vote for Hines caused much
talk but when it is remembered TINT not a
man in the town would accept these positions,
unless Hines was dropped, the men who under
took to do what they could for the rest of the
ticket, and under protest, should not be blamed.
They did well and the vote for the remaining
candidates shows it,
This is the way it can be written now: Hon.

naturalization Papers Refused.

In the court at Pottsville on Monday County
Solicitor j. o. Ulrich objected to the granting
OF naturalization papers to two Polish appli-
cants. The candidates for citizenship went
from Audenried and had their witnesses certi-
flying to the fact that they have lived in this
country the five years necessary to procure
their papers. Mr. Ulrich put one of the candi-
dates through formal examination as to his
knowledge of the laws and forms of this
government. The candidate was unable to
answer intellgently and Mr.. Ulrich objected to
the granting of the papers, holding that under
the laws and the circumstances the court could
not do so.
Judge Bechtel withheld the papers This is
the first time the question has been raised in
the Schuylkill county courts.
